Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 304: Will You Come to My Place?

Qiao Xinyu thought about what she saw and gasped, "Oh my goodness, you guys don’t know, when the police took Zhang Wenyan away just now, I saw Dong Mantang shedding tears, and I even sympathized with him for a moment.

Men can be terrifying like this, what kind of grudge or hatred makes him use such means to harm lives!"

Under the watchful eyes of many, Zhang Wenyan pushed He Yuzhen off the cliff; this is definitely going to cost her life.

Zhang Wenyan will never come back in her lifetime.

Xu Qinghuan asked, "Did you see Dong Mantang’s father? What was the expression on the old man’s face?"

Qiao Xinyu recalled, "He wanted to beat Dong Mantang to death with a hoe, Dong Mantang ran away, and he leaned on the hoe like a crutch, saying he’d rather it was his son being taken away by the police instead of his daughter-in-law; said the daughter-in-law is a hundred times more capable than the son."

Xu Qinghuan raised a hand to point at her temple, "If you guys have read a certain book, you wouldn’t be unfamiliar with this scene now, you’d know what’s really going on."

"What book?" Yu Xiaomin asked.

"Jia Zhen in Dream of the Red Chamber, the one about illicit relations."

But Xu Qinghuan couldn’t say, because at this time, that book was still banned.

She asked Jiang Xingye, "Aye, do you know how Dong Mantang treats his two kids? Are they good or bad?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Jiang Xingye thought for a moment and said, "Not good, very indifferent. I remember one year-end, there’s usually a market here, people from the production brigade nearby would bring things to sell on the road at the commune.

Dong Mantang came back from the market, bought two buns hidden in his pocket, and when his two kids came over asking to eat, he threw the buns into the mud ditch right in front of them without giving them to the kids."

"Ah, why is that?"

"Aren’t those two kids Dong Mantang’s? Whose are they?"

Xu Qinghuan said, "Maybe they’re not Dong Mantang’s; maybe those two kids should be calling Dong Mantang brother."

Spit cough cough!

Even Jiang Xingye got choked up, and the few people at the table couldn’t eat anymore, coughing so hard they felt their lungs might come out.

Xu Qinghuan patted Jiang Xingye, then patted Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu, pouring each of them a glass of water to soothe them, then she continued eating.

Qiao Xinyu couldn’t eat anymore, "Huanzi, tell me, is this true, really? Or is it just your guess?"

Even if it’s a guess, it feels like it came from analysis, reasonable and logical, making people believe it.

But if it’s not a guess, how does Xu Qinghuan know?

Yu Xiaomin couldn’t wait to ask, "Did you hear it from someone?"

Could it be heard from the Jiang Family, but looking at Jiang Xingye’s expression, even he doesn’t know.

Xu Qinghuan asked Jiang Xingye, "How many years after Dong Mantang and Zhang Wenyan got married did they have kids?"

"Don’t know exactly, when I came out of the mountains, Zhang Wenyan had just given birth, there must have been at least three or four years with no kids."

The reason Xu Qinghuan knows is naturally because of the plot in the book, but she can’t reveal it, so she just said, "According to my observation of Dong Mantang, he really can’t have kids."

If He Yuzhen was here, she’d understand what Dong Mantang meant when he said he wouldn’t let her get pregnant.

"So that means, Dong Mantang knows he can’t have children, and since Zhang Wenyan had two, he suspects Zhang Wenyan had kids with someone else?"

Qiao Xinyu said, and then suddenly slapped the table, "Alas, this is wrong; their family definitely knows Dong Mantang has no kids, or else how could it be..."

In the countryside, surrogacy is not uncommon.

But this way of borrowing is rare.

"Emma, can’t eat anymore, it’s too disgusting." Qiao Xinyu shook her head, pretending to retch, "How could things like this happen; why wouldn’t Zhang Wenyan divorce and find someone else to marry?"

"No, doesn’t Zhang Wenyan have a mother-in-law? Is that old woman dead?"

Jiang Xingye said, "Dong Xinhuo hits Dong Mantang’s mom especially hard each time. When he was little, Dong Mantang even helped his dad hit his mom; she dares to say anything?"

"What about Zhang Wenyan? Does she hit?" Yu Xiaomin asked curiously.

"Who? Are you talking about Dong Xinhuo? No hitting, didn’t hear about it. At first, when she came to the door, Dong Mantang’s mom was pretty harsh towards her; her days at the Dong Family weren’t too good initially, later after many years without having children, suddenly Dong Mantang’s mom started treating her well."

Jiang Xingye said this and then gave Xu Qinghuan a deep look, "I see."

I see!

This was what everyone had in mind.

Dai Yifeng felt like he’d been hit with a bundle of unfortunate thoughts, eating a meal that left him with indigestion.

However, he rushed to wash the pots and bowls, saw Jiang Xingye fetching water, and quickly ran out the door, instead of returning to the youth point headed to the big banyan tree under the production team, where every evening the members liked to bring their bowls to eat and gossip.

Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin hurried to catch up, calling Xu Qinghuan to join, she was too lazy to go, so the two left.

Xu Qinghuan sat under the lamp writing a translation, without needing to go to the People’s Hospital for work now, one less matter, feeling a bit more relaxed.

Jiang Xingye came in, Xu Qinghuan handed him ten thousand yuan, "If you’re heading out tomorrow, deposit the money at the commune while you’re at it?"

Jiang Xingye closed the door smoothly, tossed the fat wad of cash, "Aren’t you afraid I might deposit it under my own name?"

Xu Qinghuan was a bit surprised, he actually joked and teased her, "Didn’t you say all your money is mine? Now you’re being so clear with me, what do you mean, want me to return all the money you gave me before?"

Jiang Xingye was taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to reverse things like this, smiled uncontrollably, and wrapped her in his arms, "Did I mean that? You’re doing this on purpose."

He bent down, lifted Xu Qinghuan, and placed her on the table, his height just about level with her, then lowered his head, his lips brushed against her earlobe, gently bit down.

Xu Qinghuan shivered all over, his breath sprayed at her ear, half of her body burning hot.

"Aye!"

They were right by the window, their silhouettes reflected on the glass, enabling anyone walking outside to see them with just a glance.

"That night, when I helped you, do you still want my help?" Jiang Xingye’s deep voice resonated in her ear, Xu Qinghuan became dazed, her consciousness a bit cloudy.

"Aye, are you seducing me?" Xu Qinghuan narrowed her eyes, indeed deeply attracted to this man, wondering how she never realized he was such a cunning wolf earlier?

If it weren’t for having taken that one step, Jiang Xingye wouldn’t dare act so impertinent; but back on the night at the hospital, when he used his hand, his fiancée clearly reached... a peak, only then did he understand, temporarily it’s feasible to make do like this.

Though they hadn’t progressed to the final step, their relationship was already equivalent to that of a married couple in Jiang Xingye’s eyes.

He turned around, enveloped Xu Qinghuan’s lips, "Don’t like it? Want to go to my house?"

Over there, Qiao Xinyu and the others might come back at any moment.

Xu Qinghuan said nothing, Jiang Xingye took advantage of the night and took her home through the back door.
