Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013 - 1014: Uncle Falls in Love with His Widow Sister-in-law
Cheng Su felt a bit uneasy being asked so directly by Hualing, and didn’t say anything.
Seeing Cheng Su not answer, Hualing said, "You must be attracting envy, right? You’ve made your business so successful, of course people want to cozy up to you!"
Cheng Su said angrily, "Is it a crime for me to do business, who have I offended?"
"People naturally get jealous of those who are doing well. Even I am envious of you!" Hualing sighed, touching her belly.
Cheng Su glared at her.
Hualing coughed and said, "I can’t really give you advice on this matter, you’re smarter than me. Whether you should lend the money or not, you know in your heart. You’re just looking for a reason to persuade yourself. Between couples, I’d talk to Qi Taiguo."
Cheng Su raised her eyebrows and teased her, "Oh, you’re pregnant, and suddenly clear-minded!"
This time, Hualing glared at her and stood up, "Ungrateful, I’m leaving, I’m exhausted!" She said, grabbing an apple from the table and waving it, "Consider it consulting fees!"
Cheng Su snorted, rolling her eyes in frustration.
To lend or not to lend?
In the evening, after Qi Taiguo came back, Cheng Su casually asked, "Has your mom called again?"
Qi Taiguo was stunned for a moment, "You’re still thinking about that?"
"I just want to ask." Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "There’s a bit of money at home, if you really want to lend it out, lend it with an IOU!"
Qi Taiguo laughed, pinching her cheek, "Acting generous again? Clearly, you don’t want to lend."
"I’m worried you’re not at ease." Cheng Su rolled her eyes and said.
"It’s fine, you’re right. Lending money is for emergencies, not for poverty. Moreover, such a large amount, it’s not that easy to just lend it out!" Qi Taiguo said, "Let’s put it aside, I’ve already told mom we don’t have money."
Cheng Su replied with an oh.
They didn’t expect that in the end, the money wasn’t lent out because the marriage fell through.
And the reason for the marriage falling through wasn’t because the Deng family didn’t get the money to build the house, but because Deng Weixia didn’t want to marry the girl from that family, as he already had someone in his heart.
This someone wasn’t anyone else, but his widowed sister-in-law.
Deng Weixia fell in love with his own widowed sister-in-law and confessed to the aunt, kneeling in front of her, saying he wanted to marry the widowed sister-in-law.
This stirred up like a storm, the aunt fainted on the spot, without hesitation asked to drive the widowed daughter-in-law Liu Wenjing out, believing she didn’t act properly and seduced her son.
Liu Wenjing, being timid and weak, was naturally protected by Deng Weixia in every possible way, insisting he would marry no one but her, which infuriated the aunt beyond measure.
An uncle loving his widowed sister-in-law, such a scandal if spread would ruin the Deng family’s reputation in the village.
She had lived her life as a virtuous woman, praised for her integrity, praised for her family’s honest conduct, yet now such a disgraceful story emerged, it made the aunt so ashamed and angry she wished she could end it all.
What’s worse, Deng Weixia, seeing he couldn’t get his mother’s approval and seeing she was adamant about marrying him to that family, made a resolute decision, and eloped with Liu Wenjing and her two children!
The aunt received the letter and fainted on the spot, in a family with no men left, aside from the widow mother and the girl Deng Weiqiu, Deng Weiqiu, losing her backbone, could only turn to her second aunt.
And the second aunt, being Mother Qi, could only seek her son’s help.
Hearing this, Cheng Su felt as if struck by a thunderbolt: It’s practically something out of a TV drama!
