Chapter 627: Donating to Chen Guihua
Translator:Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sister Chrysanthemum relished the unfolding situation. “The rumours about this incident have reached neighbouring villages. Yesterday, people from Lesser Canter Village stopped by our village and inquired about it!”
“Is my third uncle just going to let these rumours circulate? And my grandparents don’t even care?” Su Wen, who hadn’t paid attention to village happenings for a while, found herself caught off guard by the unexpected events. Her perspective widened.
Sister Chrysanthemum’s shop stood by the roadside, acting as a passageway for villagers from Lesser Canter Village heading to town.
Conversely, when residents of Trinity Village went to the county town, they had to pass through Lesser Canter Village. However, the villagers stood firm, refusing to allow the main road through during construction, leading to a detour.
“Why would your grandparents care? Your third aunt took her son to attempt suicide by drinking pesticide. They were waiting in the hospital for help, the grandparents didn’t even care.” Sister Chrysanthemum scoffed, displaying clear disdain for Su Dachun and his wife.
“Zhuangzhuang is Sun Dachun and Ma Xiulan’s biological grandson. Yet, they abandoned him?” Sister Chrysanthemum whispered, covering her mouth. “I heard Ma Xiulan say she has many grandchildren and is not afraid of losing one. Moreover, she has always looked down on Chen Guihua, thinking she’s fat and foolish, just like her son.”
Su Wen’s heart skipped a beat, an uneasy feeling settling in—perhaps the sensation of being in a similar predicament.
Reflecting on Chen Guihua and Zhuangzhuang’s unfortunate state, sympathy welled up within Su Wen. Simultaneously, she gained a clearer understanding of Su Xuewu and her grandparents’ coldness, grateful for distancing herself in time.
Recalling the fate of the sisters in the novel, Su Wen wasn’t surprised by Chen Guihua and Zhuangzhuang’s situation. The elderly couple proved to be selfish individuals.
Sister Chrysanthemum sighed. “The village chief had no choice. Su Xueqiang refused to intervene, and Su Dachun was also a coward. The county hospital contacted him, and he was forced to step forward.”
“So, Village Chief, you want us to help?” Su Wen discerned Li Youcai’s intention, turning her head to look at Su Xueqiang. She found no trace of guilt on his face; instead, he wore a proud expression, perhaps feeling a sense of accomplishment because Widow Yao chose him, triumphing over his second brother, Su Xuewu.
Su Wen discreetly rolled her eyes, catching Zhou Hengyang’s teasing gaze. Embarrassed, she quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t done anything.
Zhou Hengyang, with arms crossed against the wall, found Su Wen’s actions amusing. His eyes flashed with a faint smile.
Zhou Hengyang was furious as he caught someone peeking at his wife from behind.
This revelation made him quite irritated. Just moments ago, he approached from behind and, moving to the side, threatened the person spying on his wife and put an end to it.
Li Youcai slammed the table. “Listen to me. What should we do about Chen Guihua and Zhuangzhuang now? We’re all from the same village. Let’s make a decision.”
“Village Chief, what can we do?”
“That’s right!”
“She’s not our wife.”
“He’s not our son either!”
Many were unwilling to interfere in others’ affairs and refused to help Su Xueqiang clean up the mess.
