Chapter 498: Being Exposed by the Younger Son

A few people were busy when they heard another movement in the courtyard.

Xinyan looked outside and saw that her aunt and uncle's family were coming.

He hurriedly told the people in the kitchen, "It's aunt and uncle, they're here."

It just so happened that they were almost done with their work, and they didn't need any more help in the kitchen.

Mrs. Chen is a discerning person: "It's pretty busy here. It's rare for you to get together. Come over and talk."

Xinyan looked around the kitchen and determined that there was nothing to do. Then she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, sister Zhenhua, let's go over there. I'll introduce my cousin to you."

The reason why she is called Wu Shengfang's sister-in-law is because her marriage to her eldest brother has been decided and the wedding date has been set, so this is her future sister-in-law.

As for Chu Zhenhua, although she has a good relationship with her second brother and hopes that they will succeed, she doesn't dare to make any nonsense now, so as not to embarrass others.

As soon as she came out of the kitchen, Han Chunxue smiled and waved to her: "Yanyan, come here quickly."

Xinyan turned around and called: "Sister-in-law, sister Zhenhua, come together."

The two nodded at her and followed her out of the kitchen.

Xinyan smiled and introduced to Han Chunxue: "Gu, this is my sister-in-law Wu Shengfang, and this is my second brother's partner Chu Zhenhua."

The two people beside them called out in unison: "Auntie."

Han Chunxue didn't know whose hand she was holding. She was really happy. She had heard about the two nephews having a relationship before, but this was the first time she met this person.

At this time, Han Chaoyang and Han Chaoxu also came back from the backyard. Han Chaoxu came over with a smile: "Auntie, you are quite early today."

Sun Zhenhai, a young cousin who works as a coolie, said: "You guys don't know. If my mother hadn't been unable to get away from the work unit, she would have come here and waited."

Han Chunxue, who was exposed by her younger son, glared at him fiercely and made a scissor hand gesture: "You are the only one who talks a lot."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xinyan: "Where is Aunt Zhang?"

She always felt sorry for Xinyan and her daughter. She knew that if it weren't for Grandma Zhang's kind help, Xinyan wouldn't be able to read. The gratitude in her heart was beyond words, so she wanted to thank her in person.

No, after the work affairs were settled, I couldn't wait to call her family and notify them, and everyone had to let her go.

Xinyan glanced into the room: "She is getting older and has been tired from traveling all the way. I asked her to go back to the house to rest for a while to prevent her from becoming mentally exhausted."

Han Chunxue nodded: "You did the right thing."

While everyone was talking, they had already entered the living room. Knowing that Grandma Zhang was resting in the room, they all lowered their voices.

Han Chunxue held Xinyan's hand, chatted with Wu Shengfang for a few words, and then inquired about Chu Zhenhua's situation.

Chu Zhenhua didn't have anything bad to say, so she explained everything about her situation.

Only then did everyone know that Chu Zhenhua’s mother died young and she had grown up with her grandfather. When she was six years old, her father married his step-wife Cao Sanmei and had a daughter who was the same age as Chu Zhenhua. Come in.

On the surface, the stepmother was really hard to find fault with. She bought two portions of everything, but Grandpa Zhenhua still discovered a problem. His lively little granddaughter spoke less and less after her stepmother came into the house.

After observation, I discovered that this stepmother was very different from others. When there were no outsiders, the stepmother treated Chu Zhenhua as a transparent person and refused to let her biological daughter play with Chu Zhenhua.

In the words of later generations, it was cold violence.

The old man of the Chu family couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly called his eldest son Chu Honglin to his side. It was a scolding, and he also forcefully took Chu Zhenhua to his side.

What she didn't say was that her grandfather did more than just this for her.

She also directly asked her father, Chu Honglin, to deposit half of his salary into the bankbook opened for Chu Zhenhua every month, and also asked Chu Honglin to promise that the money would be deposited until Chu Zhenhua got married.

He also asked his father to promise that he and his step-wife would not interfere with Chu Zhenhua's marriage, and that when they got married in the future, in addition to the groom's betrothal gift that Chu Zhenhua would take away, an equal amount of dowry would also be required.
