Chapter 754: Chapter 754: The Truth Is Out
The person looked at Chen Mandong’s shamelessness and added, "You’ve never borrowed money, not even once, right?"
Chen Mandong just wanted to deny everything and quickly send the person away: "Yes."
But the person squeezed through the crowd and took a few steps forward: "But I did see you borrow money from your sister, Chen Manjuan."
Chen Mandong’s mind was in chaos, and he shouted out, "Impossible."
Just as he was about to break down, his little nephew spoke again: "Uncle, you obviously borrowed it, and gave the money to Aunt Liu Xiang."
This remark once again triggered the crowd.
"What, Chen Mandong actually gave the money to Liu Xiang?"
"I remember now, years ago, Chen Mandong and Liu Xiang did have a relationship, but Liu Xiang’s mother didn’t agree, and later forced her to marry someone else."
"I saw Liu Xiang come back a few days ago, could it be that what Manjun’s son Xiaojie said is true?"
"It seems this matter is not simple."
"If this is true, Chen Mandong is really something, borrowing his sister’s money to give to Liu Xiang, and hiding it from his wife."
The Chen Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Gong Yuzhu, now stared at Chen Mandong with bloodshot eyes. She now believed that her husband had indeed borrowed money from his sister, and that what the little nephew said was true, suggesting her husband harbored feelings for someone else behind her back.
Previously, she had heard her husband call out Liu Xiang’s name when he was drunk. She had asked him about it afterward, but he did not admit it, so she thought it was a misunderstanding and let it go.
Now it seemed this man had hidden things deeply, living with her for more than ten years while still thinking of someone else: "Chen Mandong, you’re something else."
Chen Mandong knew it was over, the truth was exposed. He glared viciously at the man who spoke earlier and hurriedly explained to his wife, Gong Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, it’s not what you think. Listen to me."
The Chen Family’s youngest daughter-in-law, Fang Pingping, hurriedly returned, scared after understanding what happened in front of their house, and quickly pulled her son over: "You silly boy, how dare you say anything."
Chen Xiaojie retorted, "Uncle did it, why doesn’t he admit it? The teacher told us not to lie."
The Chen Family’s youngest daughter-in-law, Fang Pingping, afraid that her son might say something else to anger his uncle, quickly dragged him away.
At this moment, other members of the Chen Family rushed back and dispersed the onlookers, closing the doors to resolve the matter.
Xinyan was dragged into the courtyard by Old Mrs. Tong, eavesdropping against the wall.
It was only then that she learned the Liu Xiang they were talking about was the young lady from the Liu Family in the previous alley. As they said, the Chen Family’s eldest son, Chen Mandong, did have a past with Liu Xiang, but Liu Xiang’s mother had broken them up.
It was only last year that Liu Xiang returned and somehow approached Chen Mandong, saying her husband was seriously ill and she wanted to borrow money from him.
But where could he get the money? As soon as he received his salary, after handing over the living expenses to the household, the rest of the money had to be given to his wife.
But Liu Xiang cried to him about her hardships, and he softened temporarily, saying he would definitely help her. So he turned to his sister to borrow money and sent it to her.
He thought he had handled the matter seamlessly, but someone saw it after all.
Today’s commotion made him lose all face.
Gong Yuzhu wanted to leave him, but thinking about her several children, she hesitated, especially since the youngest was only four years old.
In the end, they had the public fund take out the money to treat the child’s burn, as that was most important.
Listening up to this point, Xinyan stopped as it had nothing to do with her.
Leaving the Tong Family, she returned to her small courtyard and quickly started cleaning up the yard.
