My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty -
Chapter 201 Jealousy
Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Jealousy
A street director with a hundred mouths could keep it clean with no cursing, and without any intense emotions, she managed to make the troublemakers from the Hu Family feel utterly humiliated with just a smile.
After they slinked away in disgrace, the director spat disdainfully.
"What trash, if they weren’t from our street, I would have definitely slapped them hard. They’re ruining our street’s atmosphere!"
Tang Chuxia promptly handed her a cup of tea, "Auntie, in my whole life, the person I admire most is you. Would you take me as your apprentice someday? Your way of speaking is just too awesome!"
The director was thoroughly pleased by Tang Chuxia’s compliment and laughed heartily.
"No need to become an apprentice, girl. Just try not to trouble me too much!"
Tang Chuxia chuckled dryly, "Auntie, hearing what you say, I’ve decided, I’ll sponsor the melon seeds for our street’s get-together this year!"
The director immediately beamed with joy.
Free perks like this should not be wasted, she immediately took Tang Chuxia aside to inquire if the melon seeds everyone was whispering about recently were sourced by her.
Tang Chuxia took the opportunity to promote her goods, showcasing her cleverness.
Even Father Tang and Madam Tang were astounded.
Could this work?
Only Tang Jianbing reminded Madam Tang, "Mom, with how many orders our little sister has secured, Young Aunt will definitely come to you!"
The one thousand kilos from Young Aunt had already been delayed for a few days, any longer and Young Aunt would indeed come looking for Madam Tang.
Madam Tang hurriedly patted her youngest son’s arm, "Quick, go get Lin Qingchen to buy more, and find another frying pan, we need to increase production."
Father Tang dared not say a word beside her; having seen what happened to the Hu Family, he always felt he might be the next one to be nitpicked.
Madam Tang wouldn’t let him off, "Go help your son, you’re so clueless, I wonder how you’ve survived till now!"
Father Tang was speechless.
But what could he do?
Only Gu Beihuai was grinding his teeth, the little woman was safe now but didn’t bother to show any gratitude. Without him, who would have stabilized the situation?
While Gu Beihuai was fuming here, Tang Chuxia had already negotiated quite a few orders, and with the director covering for her, she wasn’t afraid of being investigated.
She merrily went home and only remembered at her doorstep that she had sent her elder sister-in-law to the Gu Family, who must have been anxiously waiting by now.
When Tang Chuxia arrived at the Gu Family’s place, the elder sister-in-law was discussing with Gu Nanzhi what clothes to make for the little kid, seeing her return, the elder sister-in-law smiled, "Did you run here? You’re all sweaty, isn’t that uncomfortable?"
Gu Nanzhi jokingly added, "She must have forgotten that elder sister-in-law was here, and just remembered to come pick her up, right?"
Tang Chuxia sat next to Gu Nanzhi, collapsing onto her, "Zhizhi really understands me!"
Gu Nanzhi couldn’t push Tang Chuxia away and just let her lean on her.
"Huai told me everything’s been sorted out, the Hu Family left with their tails between their legs!"
The elder sister-in-law was very grateful. If her in-law’s family hadn’t been supportive, things might have turned dangerous for her. Earlier, while waiting at the Gu Family’s house, she had been really anxious, and if Mrs. Gu hadn’t comforted her in time, she might have had complications with her pregnancy.
Although her term was also nearly due, staying another day in the womb would probably make the baby stronger when born.
This was something everyone understood.
"Elder sister-in-law, once Second Brother and Dangdang come back this afternoon, we’ll know exactly what happened. Looking at Hu Kai’s parents, it seemed like they were clueless and just came to cause a scene," Tang Chuxia finished speaking but then thought of something else.
"When did Hu Mingcheng and Hu Kai become so close?" she asked Gu Nanzhi.
Gu Nanzhi tapped her chin with her thumb and forefinger, "I smell a conspiracy brewing."
Tang Chuxia nodded in agreement.
"Is there any clue?"
Neither of them had caught the key point, but it was Gu Beihuai who stepped into the house and said, "Haven’t you thought about why Hu Mingcheng showed up? Clearly, he didn’t need to be involved in this matter."
Tang Chuxia was stunned.
Gu Beihuai then pointed at the elder sister-in-law’s belly, "What would the consequences be if the elder sister-in-law were disturbed?"
Gu Nanzhi slapped his thigh, "I get it now, their main purpose in making a scene was to disturb the elder sister-in-law. If she couldn’t withstand the stress and it affected her pregnancy, it would lead to a premature birth. The Tang Family would then be in chaos. As soon as the Second Brother got the news, he would definitely go mad and deal with the Hu Family. Then, the eldest brother would also rush back, and even the Third Brother would come, completely throwing the Tang Family into disorder."
Gu Nanzhi was just following the logic of the situation.
However, Tang Chuxia thought of the fate of the original protagonist from the book, followed by comprehensive problems in the Tang Family, severely undermining their vitality, and in the end, all connections became Tang Wanqiu’s.
Hu Mingcheng in the book also seemed to have gained quite a few benefits.
Previously, Tang Chuxia had thought it was just a coincidence. Now, through this incident, both Hu Mingcheng and Tang Wanqiu seemed to be trying hard to undermine the Tang Family.
What secrets did the Tang Family have that made them so desperate to bring them down?
Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai, who, in the book, was Tang Wanqiu’s first love and also the person who put various obstacles in the way of Tang Wanqiu and Hu Mingcheng.
So why did he do that?
Some things were gradually coming to light, but at this moment, Tang Chuxia had not yet fully grasped the whole picture, she could only suppress all her curiosity.
"Fortunately, there was no danger, and the elder sister-in-law is fine!"
Gu Nanzhi voiced his relief, and Tang Chuxia nodded along.
In the book, if she had an accident, the whole family would be affected. Her arrival prevented the original protagonist from having an accident, so they targeted the most vulnerable elder sister-in-law instead.
Tang Chuxia felt disgusted again.
Especially when she remembered Tang Wanqiu mentioning that the great-uncle wanted to see her, she had not taken it seriously before, but now she was somewhat eager to meet this great-uncle.
The last time was under the influence of drugs that didn’t allow her to properly observe this great-uncle, and this time she must do it properly.
Just as she was not yet ready to meet the great-uncle, she was informed that Lin Qingchen had brought people for a visit.
Tang Chuxia then remembered that Madam Tang had asked Lin Qingchen to find that mysterious Taoist.
She hurried home, telling Gu Nanzhi to help look after the elder sister-in-law, who would be better off not going back for the time being.
The elder sister-in-law also feared her unstable emotions and continued to look at children’s clothes with Gu Nanzhi.
When Tang Chuxia was heading back, Gu Beihuai was with her.
In his words, "Let’s see what that stinky Taoist has to say!"
Tang Chuxia thought that Gu Beihuai was hostile towards Lin Qingchen.
"I don’t have a good attitude towards any Taoist," Gu Beihuai remembered the old man who had predicted his misfortune, he was most annoyed by these mystical nonsense people.
Tang Chuxia laughed, "Really no other reasons?"
Gu Beihuai, at the corner of the alley, pushed Tang Chuxia against the wall.
"What reason do you want?"
His eyes were entirely serious.
Tang Chuxia chuckled nervously, "I thought you were jealous!"
Gu Beihuai looked at her for a while and then said word by word, "What if I say I am? Would you not meet that stinky Taoist?"
