Chapter 626: She Was Following Su Xueqiang
Translator:Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
“After Su Xuewu was removed from his role as an accountant due to the scandal, he was replaced by Accountant Xu. Initially, Accountant Xu had a rather neutral opinion of Su Wen. His disapproval worsened when she was involved in a chair-throwing incident.
However, this incident led to a subtle shift in Accountant Xu’s stern demeanour. After the discussion concluded, he felt compelled to inform the village chief that a girl who quietly supported a household grandpa was unlikely to cause trouble with intentions.
Recalling Su Wen’s family’s generosity in donating to Chen Guihua, Accountant Xu couldn’t overlook the context.
The meeting proceeded after the collection of money, and Village Chief Li Youcai hushed the crowd with a clap. Addressing them, he stated, “There’s one more thing.”
“Village chief, why wasn’t this mentioned earlier?”
“That’s right. I still have work to do in the fields!”
“Who isn’t busy?”
“Village chief, tell us quickly, what is it?”
“Quiet, quiet.” Li Youcai gestured for silence. “This matter is not related to our brigade headquarters, so we didn’t discuss it along with the electricity. A few days ago, Chen Guihua attempted suicide by drinking pesticide and is still in the hospital. Our headquarters received notice that she will be discharged soon.”
The crowd fell silent instantly. All eyes turned to Su Xueqiang behind them.
It was only then that Su Wen noticed her third uncle’s presence at the meeting. With so many people around, she hadn’t noticed him earlier. At that moment, everyone turned to look at Third Uncle in unison.
Confused, Su Wen didn’t grasp the village chief’s implication. Everyone’s gaze on her third uncle seemed peculiar.
Glancing around, she spotted Sister Chrysanthemum sitting behind her. Excitement lit up her eyes. In the Trinity village, Sister Chrysanthemum was the most well-informed.
Especially since Sister Chrysanthemum ran a thriving small shop, attracting a constant stream of people. Everyone liked to visit her, making her a hub of information.
“Sister Chrysanthemum, what did the village chief mean just now? What’s wrong with my third uncle?” Su Wen turned around and asked softly.
Sister Chrysanthemum had been waiting for someone to ask her. Because of her outgoing nature, the village knew about it, and no one bothered to inquire. She found it quite dull. So when Su Wen asked, she was pleasantly surprised.
“You still don’t know, right?” Sister Chrysanthemum chuckled. “Your third uncle is living with Widow Yao. He doesn’t want to bring Chen Guihua and Zhuangzhuang back.”
Su Wen was dumbfounded. “So Widow Yao chose my third uncle?”
Sister Chrysanthemum covered her mouth, giggling. “That’s right! Your second uncle was embarrassed in front of the villagers. In the end, Widow Yao didn’t stick with him. If I were Widow Yao, I’d choose your third uncle too. Think about it, your third uncle is younger than your second uncle.”
“Zhang Chunxiang is formidable. Widow Yao couldn’t compete with her. Chen Guihua was a fool. She drank pesticides and didn’t have any other skills. She must have chosen your third uncle. Your second uncle used to be an accountant with some status, but now he has nothing.”
Su Xuewu had suffered a significant blow this time, and he was embarrassed.
Su Wen was left speechless.
It seemed calculations like these were possible and made sense. Su Wen was convinced by Sister Chrysanthemum. Widow Yao’s choice did seem right.
‘Widow Yao has moved to your third uncle’s house. The two of them are like a couple. Now that your third aunt is back, there’s no place for her to stay! Everyone is privately discussing where your third aunt will go after she is discharged from the hospital!” the villager said.
