Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1142 - 1144: Is He Still Sickly?
At first, Chu Lian was listening intently, but then he thought about how the news had been sealed off, yet his wife was speaking so articulately about it. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy, "Wife, you seem to know quite a lot about this Guo Feng."
Wang Xiangxiang could easily pick up on Chu Lian’s tone and retorted without backing down, "Of course, we’ve known each other for many years. Naturally, I know about his affairs."
After speaking, she glared at Chu Lian, as if saying, serves you right.
"..." Hmm!
"Wife, since you know so much, you must also know that child bride, right?"
Chu Lian’s question grabbed Li Fugui’s attention. Logically, if they were close, she should know Xiaotian!
"Of course I know!"
Hearing this, Li Fugui’s eyes widened. She knew?
When Wang Xiangxiang said this, she felt a bit guilty, and then she quietly added, "But that was ten years ago, I only saw her once, I only remember she was very pretty, but I’ve forgotten the details!"
"Wife, don’t you have a photographic memory?"
"It’s been ten years, try remembering that!" Wang Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at Chu Lian.
"..." Alright, he indeed couldn’t remember either!
In fact, Wang Xiangxiang had very little impression of that girl. She heard about it mostly from her parents.
Ten years ago, she and Guo Feng were only acquaintances, not very close. They only grew familiar afterwards.
She was young then and never thought to help him find someone.
She didn’t even know the girl’s name.
Later, as she grew older and wanted to help him, he kept the news strictly sealed, not mentioning a word.
It wasn’t until the beginning of this year that he mentioned once that he found the person, and he seemed so delighted.
She thought about visiting, but she’s always been too busy, she hasn’t been to the Guo Mansion this year.
Wang Xiangxiang’s words dispelled Li Fugui’s doubts; this explained why Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t recognize Xiaotian from the portrait.
Li Fugui wasn’t interested in the couple’s banter; he was more concerned about whether Guo Feng’s illness had recovered and whether Xiaotian was suffering with him.
So he asked, "Is that Guo Feng still weak and sickly?"
"Completely recovered! Now if you say he was weak and sickly as a child, no one would believe it."
They chatted a while longer, and Li Fugui, feeling he had asked enough about Guo Feng, got up to take his leave.
He was too eager to get back. No matter what, he had to find a way to see Xiaotian.
After Li Fugui left, Chu Lian said, "Wife, did you notice, Li Fugui seemed a bit odd today?"
"What do you mean?"
"He seemed very interested in Guo Feng and kept asking about Guo Feng and his child bride."
"Really? I felt like I was the one talking all the time!"
"..." Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything.
Li Fugui came in looking around for Xiangxiang, and once she entered, their conversation revolved around Guo Feng. As soon as Guo Feng wasn’t the topic, Li Fugui was eager to leave; wasn’t this intentional?
Never mind, better not mention it. No matter what it is, he believes the current Li Fugui is capable of handling it.
Chu Lian was deep in thought when suddenly Wang Xiangxiang exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot something?"
"What’s up?"
"Aren’t we teaching Yang Qiu about the business lately? Planning to send Yang Qiu to Guo Feng’s to select fabrics, it would be good for him to travel with Li Fugui, mutual support, oh well, let’s have Yang Qiu find him when he gets there."
"..."
