CHAPTER 763: CHAPTER 759: THE ELDER UNCLE STRIKES BACK AGAIN (SECOND UPDATE)

Fu Xiaonan sat on the kang all night, thinking about her future, whether to forgive Liu Qingshan or give up.

She envied Mu Shuangshuang and Fengzi, simple yet joyful.

Fengzi wouldn’t flirt with other women.

In the village, no matter how beautiful or ugly, he wouldn’t even glance at them. But Liu Qingshan not only flirts but also brings them right in front of her.

But a ten-year relationship isn’t something you can just give up on. Fu Xiaonan still wanted to try and see if she could win back her happiness.

At first, Liu Qingshan would cry and apologize, admit his mistakes, but when Fu Wu said that it’s normal for a man to have several wives and concubines, it became an accepted fact in the village that couldn’t be changed.

Then Liu Qingshan began to change, his words becoming more and more hurtful.

Just like now, he’s always arguing with her for Shen Yueying.

"Xiaonan, our engagement was jointly decided by my parents and your uncle and aunt. We have no right to question it."

"Dad, Mom, did you hear what Liu Qingshan said? Are you still going to let your daughter marry this kind of person?" Fu Xiaonan held back her tears and asked Fu Wu and her mother.

"Nannan, everyone in the village knows about this. If you refuse this engagement, who will dare propose to you in the future?"

Fu Wu was a middleman in buying and selling land among several nearby villages, visiting many places.

In such matters, it’s always women who suffer.

Endure for a moment, and you’ll have peace. Take a step back, and the sea will be wide open!

Fu Xiaonan was almost in despair. Words from related people didn’t matter much.

But from close family, they became a sharp sword.

"Dad, Mom, let me think this over!" Fu Xiaonan glanced at her parents and then walked straight out the door.

She was going to find Mu Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang was attentive, only she could help.

On the way, Fu Xiaonan thought about all the little moments with Liu Qingshan over the years.

But recalling them, she found there were very few memories with Liu Qingshan, only their twice-a-year meetings.

Even when they met, it was just eating, drinking, and playing.

There was no time to truly settle down and think about this relationship.

Fu Xiaonan was so absorbed in her thoughts that she almost fell into a ditch several times. By the time she reached Shuangshuang’s house, she was covered in dirt, her good clothes turned into rags.

The moment she saw Mu Shuangshuang, Fu Xiaonan lowered her head, the emotions in her eyes undergoing a dramatic change.

"Shuangshuang, I..."

As soon as Fu Xiaonan called Mu Shuangshuang’s name, Mu Shuangshuang knew she had made her choice.

"Congratulations, Xiaonan, for escaping your suffering!" Mu Shuangshuang smiled.

"You know my choice?" Fu Xiaonan asked.

"Not only do I know your decision, but I also know you want to make things difficult for Liu Qingshan."

In fact, Liu Qingshan was clearly in the wrong, it’s just that Fu Wu and Xiaonan’s mother were afraid of being talked about and losing face.

"Shuangshuang, do you know what my parents said?" Fu Xiaonan asked.

"I know what they said. Your mother came to see me. The urgent thing now is to find a way to make sure everyone in the village knows about Liu Qingshan’s affair."

"How can we make sure everyone in the village knows?" Fu Xiaonan asked.

"Yes, Shuangshuang, don’t keep us in suspense. I’m so confused," Yu Si Niang paused her needlework and asked Mu Shuangshuang.

"Mom, this requires the village women. Tell Aunt Zhao Yun, and have her spread it, and in one morning, the whole village will know!"

Mu Shuangshuang smiled slyly, her eyes bright and expressive.

Everyone present was stunned, staring blankly.

At this moment, Mu Shuangshuang was strong, confident, unafraid of any challenge.

By noon, rumors began to spread in the village that Liu Qingshan was a cut-sleeve. That servant was his kept boy, and Liu Qingshan wasn’t interested in women at all.

The day Liu Qingshan nearly got into trouble, he wasn’t watching snow at the foot of the mountain. He was actually with the servant in the mountains, when they ran into a bear. They ran for their lives separately, leaving Liu Qingshan behind.

The servant didn’t dare tell the truth, fearing their relationship would be discovered, so he lied, making everyone search in vain.

Er Gui Village was never liberal. Even ordinary affairs were intolerable to the villagers, not to mention a cut-sleeve relationship.

So, just after lunch, villagers went spontaneously to Fu’s house to see Liu Qingshan, some angrily throwing stones at the Old Fu Family’s house.

Tiles on Fu Wu’s house were smashed, and next, they would start throwing rotten eggs.

"Fifth, what should we do? Everyone knows about it now, how will our Xiaonan live?"

Fu Xiaonan’s mother asked, crying with a handkerchief in hand.

"I think it was Xiaonan who spread it herself. Why didn’t she discuss this with us?" Fu Wu looked troubled.

"Ah, this child has been stubborn since she was little. She was the one who liked Liu Qingshan at first, and now she wants him gone. What should we do?" Fu Xiaonan’s mother looked worried.

"How about we let Qingshan go? I see he cares a lot about the woman inside. All morning, he was looking after her.

Our Xiaonan fell ill, and he barely looked at her. If he really liked our Xiaonan, he wouldn’t behave like this."

Fu Wu knew men’s minds well, and if Liu Qingshan didn’t like the woman inside, he wouldn’t go to such lengths.

"What about our Xiaonan’s reputation?" Fu Xiaonan’s mother still worried about reputation.

"Forget it, we don’t need such reputation anymore. Arrange for a carriage to send them away, and I’ll write a letter to Qingshan’s parents."

With things blown so out of proportion, Fu Wu had no choice. He still had to live in the village, and if people knew his son-in-law was a cut-sleeve, he would lose all credibility.

Being a middleman to earn money would become nearly impossible.

Soon, Fu Xiaonan’s mother arranged for Liu Qingshan and Shen Yueying to be sent back to the county. While they didn’t mention ending the engagement, they detailed the events in a letter, which also criticized Liu Qingshan’s behavior.

The Liu Family and the Fu Family, more likely than not, were done for.

In the future, when Liu Family members came to Er Gui Village, they wouldn’t have a place to stay, and during holidays or Qingming Festival, Old Fu Family wouldn’t help them clean graves anymore.

There was no longer any relationship whatsoever!

Fu Wu worried about the impact on Fu Xiaonan, but as villagers initially gossiped, it was soon overshadowed by Mu Xiangxiang’s engagement news in the Old Mu Family.

The villagers’ focus shifted back to the Old Mu Family.

Most importantly, the eldest family had returned.
