Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 120: Xu Qinghuan Has Truly Fallen This Far

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Xu Qinghuan Has Truly Fallen This Far

"After the autumn harvest, we’ll start cooking over there. In the meantime, we’ll eat communally here," said Chen Dewen.

At the Zhiqing point, Xu Manman looked at the watery corn mush in her lunchbox and the fist-sized wild vegetable and mixed grain bun, and screamed, "You’re giving us something even pigs wouldn’t eat?"

Duan Qingmei sneered, "What a joke. If your family’s pigs eat so well, why are you even here in the countryside? If you have the ability, go out and rent a house and build one yourself, don’t live with us!"

Jiang Chengxu was in a bad mood and put his lunchbox on the table, "Manman just asked a question, is it necessary to blow it out of proportion?"

He also wanted to build a house, but after his father was reported, it was found that there were issues with their accounts over the years. If it weren’t for the Jiang Family’s protection, he might have ended up in deep trouble.

The family’s savings over the years had been confiscated. When he went to the countryside, his mother had to borrow money from various places to prepare two hundred yuan for him. For the next several months, his mother wouldn’t have money to give him.

When he went to the countryside, his grandmother and uncle actually came to force his mother to remarry and earn a bride price for the family.

He even got into a fight with his uncle over this.

Only by marrying Xu Qinghuan could he gain the Jiang Family’s attention, but Xu Qinghuan completely ignored him.

At the Zhiqing point, Zhang Tieshan was the first to get the news that the production team wanted to set up a furniture factory.

They had heard about it a year ago, and it hadn’t been set up until now.

The Zhiqing were overjoyed to hear this, happier than during the New Year celebrations. As long as a factory was set up, they couldn’t do it without the participation of the Zhiqing. The entire production team barely had a handful of high school students, and even fewer middle school students.

The Zhiqing not only hoped to enter the factory but were also sure they would get management positions.

"Brother, if the production team sets up a factory, we can also go in and work there, which is no worse than being in the city," Xu Manman said happily.

Duan Qingmei sneered again, "You may not look pretty, but your thoughts sure are. Why don’t you find out who is setting up the factory? Do you think people will let you in?"

Xu Manman humbly asked, "Who’s setting up the factory?"

"Xu Qinghuan is your sister, you know who her husband is, and what his family’s status is in the Shangjiang Team. Do you think she’d let you in the factory when she despises you so?" Duan Qingmei kindly reminded.

Xu Hongtu asked, "Isn’t her husband that scoundrel? Could he really be so powerful in the Shangjiang Team?"

"His uncle is the team leader, the production team listens to him. Otherwise, would Xu Qinghuan marry a scoundrel?" said Kong Lijuan.

Jiang Chengxu tightly gripped his chopsticks, his fingertips turning white. He thought Xu Qinghuan knew Jiang Xingye’s future prospects, which was why she got engaged to him. If not, it could only mean that Xu Qinghuan chose such a lowly path just to avoid working.

How could she have fallen so low!

As he stepped outside, Jiang Chengxu saw the two walking closely together. He didn’t know what the scoundrel said, but Xu Qinghuan secretly pinched him, and the scoundrel, rather than getting angry, smiled and secretly held Xu Qinghuan’s hand.

The two of them were sneaking around, but Jiang Chengxu had seen them clearly.

He rushed over and shouted angrily, "Xu Qinghuan, don’t you have any shame, behaving like this in broad daylight!"

It was the time when people were heading for work in the morning, and the members were all heading to the team office. Seeing a commotion, they surrounded them like hungry dogs seeing a bone being thrown.

Jiang Xingye’s philosophy was all hands-on, and he swung a punch at Jiang Chengxu’s face. Instantly, half of Jiang Chengxu’s face was swollen, and he covered his face, "How dare you hit me, you criminal, I will report you!"

Jiang Xingye was frozen, looking in panic at Xu Qinghuan.

When he was twelve, something happened, and since he came back, he had been criticized and insulted. Those people treated themselves as if they were saints, standing on a moral high ground, accusing him of being unfilial and cruel.

Clearly, it was Ma Zilan who frequently returned to tell him how that man beat and bullied her. He got so angry that he went to that man’s house to help teach him a lesson.

The knife was also that man’s, intending to kill him.

When he grabbed the knife, he accidentally wounded that man, and Ma Zilan shouted that he had killed someone.

He was extremely terrified at that time and was nearly disarmed by the man. That man picked up the knife to attack him, and in his fear, he managed to take the knife back, slashing the man twice out of fear.

Ma Zilan protected that man, cursing him for being cruel, and even accused him of daring to attack his stepfather, would he also kill her?

He didn’t dare to harm his mother.

But his heart was terribly desolate.

The worst part came afterward; when the police came, she constantly told the police that he was worthless, "I’m his mother, don’t I know what kind of person he is? If he was any good, would I have left and remarried?"

"He has been a bad seed since he was young, he came to our house to steal money, and when my husband caught him, he tried to kill him."

"That knife, he brought it himself, our house doesn’t have a knife? We’re so poor, we only have a hatchet, which we use for both firewood and cooking."

"Comrades of the police, you must not let go of this bastard, he’s not a good person. What, he’s young? He’s twelve, how is that young? You can’t protect him just because his grandfather was a revolutionary."

My husband was nearly killed by him, why shouldn’t he face justice?"

Jiang Xingye was frozen with fear and looked uneasily at Xu Qinghuan.

How could a person unrecognized by his own mother, cursed by her to be sent to prison, be worthy of such a good girl! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He felt utter despair!

Xu Qinghuan raised her hand and slapped him, "Who are you calling a criminal, what crime did he commit? Defending his mother against a bully is not wrong!"

Jiang Xingye looked at Xu Qinghuan in disbelief, feeling as if he had soared from hell to heaven, but in the very next second, Xu Qinghuan’s words dragged him back to hell.

"Oh, he did wrong, he certainly did wrong!" Xu Qinghuan seemed to be correcting her error, "He was wrong to be born to such a woman; he was wrong to try to fight for justice at such a young age when his mother was bullied by a man;

He shouldn’t have resisted when his stepfather and birth mother tried to crush him, he should have let those beasts kill him, is that what it would take for you to leave him alone?"

Xu Qinghuan was so angry her tears started to fall, "But why should it be like this? He was only twelve, shouldn’t he live properly? Just to hear you call him a good child, should he really be crushed to death?

From now on, if I ever hear the word ’criminal’ again, there’ll be no end to it!"

She wept, tears rolling down.

She had read the story in the book and deeply felt sorry for the young Jiang Xingye, saddened by his despair and helplessness.

Betrayed by the one he loved most, such self-doubt can push a person to the brink.

So he chose to escape this world, preferring to live among the wilds, accepting wolves as friends.
