After dinner, Xu Haiyuan went to see Mr. Chu, while Xu Shiyan and his wife chatted with Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan about their return to the capital.

Xu Chenghou and his wife were obviously very happy.

Especially when he learned that his third son had bought several more houses in the capital, Xu Chenghou nodded repeatedly and praised Xu Shiyan and his wife for their intelligence.

"That's right, money has become more and more valuable in recent years. You can't just keep it in the bank, you also have to take some out and do something.

Yingzi is home to companies, stores, and a whole factory. It looks prosperous, but it's also busy.

It’s better to buy a house or land, and you won’t lose money on this at any time.”

Xu Chenghou is still a bit old-fashioned at heart.

Isn’t that what the older generation did back then? They lived frugally, saved some money, and quickly bought a house and land.

Especially land, what is it? It is a cornucopia. Only when there is land can there be harvest, and only when there is harvest can there be money.

Although it is a new society now, there are no longer landlords, and land is not allowed to be bought and sold, but houses are, and investing in them is absolutely fine.

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan behaved quite normally. They laughed when they should talk and chatted with their son and wife in a lively manner.

But Xu Shiyan felt that his parents seemed to be hiding something.

What is going on? I can’t guess.

Xu Shiyan wanted to ask several times, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Chenghou interrupted him.

The more this happened, the more Xu Shiyan became suspicious that something must have happened at home while they were out.

I just don't understand why his parents kept it secret from him.

The old couple refused to talk, and no one could help Xu Shiyan explain his doubts, so he thought about asking Chu Xuanhuai in the evening.

In the evening, Zhao Jianshe and others learned about Xu Shiyan's return and came to join in the fun.

Then, Zhao Jianshe's casual words solved Xu Shiyan's doubts all afternoon.

"Third brother and third sister-in-law, you came back late, and you didn't see my aunt fighting with others.

I have known my aunt for all these years, but I have never seen her so powerful."

The matter was so serious that Zhao Jianshe thought that when Xu Shiyan came back, Xu Chenghou and his wife would definitely be able to tell.

So Zhao Jianshe was quick to speak and shouted out.

When Xu Shiyan heard this, his expression immediately changed, "Dad, what's going on? Who is my mother fighting with?"

It is definitely no small matter to make Zhou Guilan eager to fight with others.

Now in Donggang, who dares to provoke the Xu family? Who is this?

As soon as Xu Shiyan said this, Zhao Jianshe and others realized that Xu Shiyan had no idea about it before the old couple said anything.

"Oh, look at my words, I'm so ungrateful. Uncle Xu, I didn't know you didn't mention this to my third brother."

Zhao Jianshe gave himself a slap in the face. He really didn't deserve this.

Xu Chenghou glanced at Zhao Jianshe and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's nothing, your mother beat her up and smashed her.

She didn't suffer any loss, so I didn't mention it when you came back, for fear of making you upset."

My son and daughter-in-law have just come home, and the whole family is very happy.

Xu Chenghou meant not to mention those unhappy things.

Several days have passed since the incident happened, and Zhou Guilan has not suffered any loss. There is no need to mention it again and make everyone unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jianshe was quick to talk, so he actually said it.

"What's going on? Dad, Mom, please tell me quickly."

When his father said this, Xu Shiyan became even more anxious and asked again.

"What can happen?

Some people see our family's prosperity and our children's lack of success and are jealous and want to throw dirty water on them.

Then can I allow it? If you say I can, if you dare to tell my child, I can’t beat her to death.”

Over there, Zhou Guilan stopped hiding it and told Xu Shiyan and his wife what happened.

It turned out that as soon as Xu Shiyan and the others left, some unfavorable rumors about Xu Jinping spread among the neighbors.

Rumor has it that Xu Jinping had a bad lifestyle at a young age. She went out to compete in the county and even lived with boys.

Some people also said that Xu Jinping and a boy were together all day long. They had a close relationship. They even lived together when they went to competitions.

Anyway, this rumor spread like no other, as if they all saw it with their own eyes.

Xu Jinping went to the county to compete, and the teacher took nine students to live in a large house. After returning, Xu Jinping told her family about it.

The family also felt that they were just teenagers, there were more than ten people in a room, and there was a teacher in front of them, so what the heck?

In the Northeast, people sleep on a kang during the New Year and festivals.

The Xu family didn't care at all, and never thought that such rumors would spread.

Therefore, when Zhou Guilan heard people talking about this matter, she was very angry.

These people are so wicked. His granddaughter is so young, how can they ruin their reputation like this?

In fact, not many people actually believe this rumor.

The character of the children of the Xu family is obvious to everyone, who doesn’t know yet?

Moreover, everyone can guess who the boy mentioned in the rumors is, it must be Yang Haoyu, the son of the Xu family.

Not to mention sleeping in the same room, the two children ate from the same bowl and slept on the same bed.

They were siblings, they had grown up together and were not outsiders at all.

The old men and women around them all advised Xu Chenghou and his wife, saying that no one believed this matter and told the Xu family and his wife not to care.

How could Xu Chenghou, with his violent temper, be able to swallow his breath? He was furious at that time.

Even Zhou Guilan was very angry and immediately asked who had spread these words.

They are all from the same town, and the Xu family is very popular. Everyone is looking towards the Xu family to find out who spreads the rumors. Isn’t that easy?

Without much effort, Zhou Guilan found out that the person who spread the rumor was none other than the Qin family's mother-in-law. Everyone heard about it from Qin's mother-in-law.

Zhou Guilan found out the source of the rumor, and without saying a word, she went to settle the score with Mrs. Qin while wielding a stick.

When he arrived at Qin's house, he beat Mrs. Qin hard and smashed all the glass and water tanks in Qin's house.

After doing this, Zhou Guilan stood in the courtyard of Qin's house, pointing at Mrs. Qin's nose and scolding her.

Zhou Guilan went to the Qin family to fight with Mrs. Qin, which caused quite a stir, and there were many people watching around.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to scold Mrs. Qin and confront Mrs. Qin, Zhou Guilan also explained to everyone the matter of her granddaughter going to the competition.

When everyone heard it, it turned out that it was the teacher who led the children to live in a big house, and it was not Xu Jinping who lived alone with the boys.

This time, everyone pointed at Granny Qin and cursed her.

They all said that she was not a real thing, that she was confusing right and wrong and making things up randomly, which was done with the intention of causing harm to people.

If the little girl hears this and gets upset, then Mrs. Qin will commit a serious crime.

Mrs. Qin couldn't stand being scolded by everyone, so she could only shout that she had heard what others said.

After Zhou Guilan asked, Mrs. Qin said that she heard it from the Jiang family.

It turns out that Granny Qin has a granddaughter named Qin Lina, who is in the same class as Xu Jinping, Jiang Chunhong and others.

The Xu family and the Qin family had some disagreements before, so Qin Lina always followed Jiang Chunhong, flattering her and licking her beard.

Jiang Chunhong's family is in good condition, but the Qin family's life is poor. Jiang Chunhong sometimes gives Qin Lina the clothes she doesn't wear, or old stationery and schoolbags.

That day Qin Lina went to Jiang's house to play and didn't come home for dinner, so Mrs. Qin went to look for her.

I happened to hear Jiang Chunhong's mother and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family next door to the Jiang family chatting across the garden stick.

It just happened to be about the children going to the competition.

Jiang Chunhong's mother said that her daughter was unlucky and didn't get the easy questions.

Just to put it bluntly, I just said that some people's children seem to be quite well-behaved, study well, and even become captains.

In private, his life style is chaotic, and he is not clear with the boy. When they go out to compete, they still live together, etc.

Mrs. Qin had a feud with the Xu family. She tried several times to plot against the Xu family but failed, and she felt very angry.

As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Qin became energetic.

She didn't care whether those words were true or false, and started spreading rumors later on, telling everyone she met.

In fact, most people didn't believe it, and many people even refuted Granny Qin face to face and told her not to talk nonsense.

Be careful if Xu's family finds out, she won't be able to reap the benefits.

Of course, there are some people who are jealous when they see the Xu family's prosperous life.
