Chapter 276 Getting caught up in the gossip yourself?

Yu Dawei once again exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Great job!"

However, he now has a clearer understanding of Han Yanyan and her family, who are holding their child.

Han Yanyan and her husband are from Chuhua Village, Team 1 of Hanjiagang Village. The husband is a genuine farmer, just like his brother-in-law. Every year, in addition to farming the land he owns, he also rents some land to farm.

Because his brother-in-law, Han Guoqiang, had made a name for himself in farming in the past two years, and everyone knew that he was making money from farming, Han Yanyan's husband, Sun Shunli, thought of using their family relationship to visit this brother-in-law during the Spring Festival this year.

According to his brother-in-law, Sun Shunli is "honest, honest to an excessive degree."

Yu Dawei's translation is: He appears honest on the surface, but what he's really like inside is anyone's guess.

Not only that, Yu Dawei's brother-in-law also dropped two bombshells on him.

One story I heard from my sister-in-law is that Bi Yunjie and Han Yanyan dated for a while, and their families were originally planning to get married, but they were persuaded to break off the relationship by my third uncle's family.

The second piece of gossip is that Han Yanyan was pregnant when she married Sun Shunli, and she explicitly told Sun Shunli who she was.

Furthermore, the third uncle's family said that if Sun Shunli wanted their daughter, they would not only waive the bride price, but also give her a dowry of 3,000 yuan.

Then Han Yanyan's husband, Sun Shunli, actually agreed.

Moreover, no matter what the people in Chuhua Village said, he didn't care at all and always treated the girl in Han Yanyan's arms as his own daughter.

All this information combined made Yu Dawei's brain feel like it was about to explode!

He lost his appetite for the sunflower seeds in his hand, his mind racing with mathematical relationships.

Is Mi Yao's husband Han Yanyan's ex-boyfriend?

Han Yanyan is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child because she hasn't completely broken things off with him.

That seems unlikely, because the baby in Han Yanyan's arms is about the same age as her own Xiao Muyu.

Moreover, Mi Yao and her husband have been married for several years.

Didn't her husband say he'd always been in the city?

And then there's Sun Shunli, who appears to be honest and kind on the surface.

In the first year of their marriage, instead of visiting his own mother-in-law's house for the Chinese New Year, he brought his wife and child to visit Yu Dawei's mother-in-law's house.

Although it was a visit between relatives, something felt off.

While Yu Dawei was brainstorming, Mi Yao's husband, Bi Yunjie, was showing off in various ways in front of his ex-girlfriend Han Yanyan and her husband.

Strangely, the man named Sun Shunli wasn't angry at all. Even when his wife couldn't stand it and called him "useless," he didn't get angry.

It looks eerie no matter how you look at it.

However, with elders around, the younger generation couldn't be allowed to run wild. Xiao Fan's third uncle, who was also his father-in-law's younger brother, stepped up from the mahjong table.

He unleashed a torrent of attacks on Bi Yunjie, even dragging Xiao Fan's aunt and uncle into it.

Yu Dawei knew that Han Jingfan's uncle had a very bad temper, and they almost got into a fight on the spot.

Fortunately, Yu Dawei's father-in-law, Old Master Han, surprisingly stood his ground and forcibly separated the farce.

Mi Yao and Han Jingfan both came out of the inner room, disturbed, and the two sisters had to stop their conversation.

Mi Yao pulled her troublesome husband away, and it's unclear what they were talking about.

Throughout the entire incident, the person Yu Dawei cared about the most was that man named Sun Shunli.

He became extremely wary of this person!

Unfortunately, during the meal, Dawei was sitting next to Sun Shunli on his left and Bi Yunjie on his right.

The two people he wanted to stay away from had somehow become intertwined.

He just went to the restroom before eating, so why did they reserve this seat for him?

Impressed!

There are five dining tables in the room: two for men, two for women, and one table specifically for children.

One table for the older generation was for men, and the other table for younger generations like Yu Dawei.

There aren't many rules about meals in the village. There's no such thing as who brings up the wine and who doesn't. Just drink!

Yu Dawei silently picked up his food and when everyone clinked glasses, he would just clink glasses with everyone, his main message being that he was ignoring everyone else and that no one should bother him.

"You're Xiaofan's husband, right? Yu Dawei?" Sun Shunli asked with a smile, raising his glass to Yu Dawei. "I've heard my brother mention you before. He said you're hardworking and reliable, quite different from before."

Yu Dawei reluctantly picked up a patterned plastic cup from the table. These cups were typically used for large banquets in rural areas, and they came in both blue and pink patterns.

These cups aren't very easy to clean, but as the old saying goes, nothing is too dirty.

"Brother, you flatter me. I just work honestly and want to make a good living. I don't have any grand ambitions." Yu Dawei gave a polite but casual reply, planning to finish his beer, eat a couple of bites of food, and then leave. Sun Shunli on his right had already started looking for him; how far behind could that bastard Bi Yunjie on his left be?
Yu Dawei didn't notice that when he took a sip of the wine in his glass, Sun Shunli paused for a moment with his right hand, which was holding the glass, and then a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

As if he had found a kindred spirit, he finished his drink and then picked up the green bottle to refill Yu Dawei's glass.

Yu Dawei: "..."

Dude, are you trying to keep me from leaving the table?

The two began to clink glasses and chat, talking about many things: their elders, life in the village, and the minutiae of farming.

Most of the time, Sun Shunli used the term "brother-in-law" to refer to Dawei, and he asked Dawei for advice.

If it were Yu Dawei in his past life, he might have just boasted about those questions he only vaguely understood.

But Yu Dawei is not the same Yu Dawei as before. He will explain in detail what he really knows, and shake his head sincerely when he doesn't know.

Such behavior, on the contrary, won Sun Shunli's favor, and he couldn't help but drink a few more cups with this brother-in-law whom he felt he had met too late.

In the blink of an eye, after downing three or five bottles of green beer, both of them had flushed faces.

Just as Yu Dawei was about to find a few excuses to leave, Sun Shunli suddenly asked him a question.

"Brother-in-law, do you really think that living an honest and hardworking life will bring good days?" Sun Shunli stared intently at Yu Dawei, like a camel seeking water in the desert.

Yu Dawei picked up a peanut with his chopsticks, turned his head to Sun Shunli, and chewed it twice. Although he was a little tipsy, it didn't stop him from thinking and answering seriously: "Probably. Things might not be as good as they seem at times, but people always need something to live for, right?"

Yu Dawei's answer was absolutely serious, even more so than when he was teaching his apprentices.

After he started chatting with Sun, he found that Sun was a decent person and quite honest, though he would occasionally ask some vague or unrealistic questions.

After hearing Yu Dawei's answer, Sun Shunli stopped trying to pester her brother-in-law and fell into deep thought, drinking alone.

Seeing that the other party wasn't coming to find him, Yu Dawei decisively got up to leave, but was stopped by Bi Yunjie next to him.

At the beginning of the meal, perhaps intimidated by his third uncle's discrimination, or perhaps because Mi Yao's communication with him had been effective, Bi Yunjie, who loved to boast, didn't say anything at the table and remained silent the whole time.

After a few bottles of beer and liquor, the other party regained their momentum. They had just finished talking to the person on the left and then grabbed Yu Dawei again.

Yu Dawei turned his head bitterly and glanced at his wife on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Han Jingfan happened to see it too; Bi Yunjie's hand was on Yu Dawei's shoulder, and she could only give her husband a helpless look.

“Brother, didn’t I promise to give you a hand before?” Bi Yunjie’s breath reeked of alcohol as he spoke. “Listen to your brother, we shouldn’t take too big a step at first. Let’s take it one step at a time. Let’s start from the village and go to the town. Once we understand the business, we can go to the county and finally to Sui City.”

"What can we do in town? We're just farmers, we don't know anything." One of the sycophants was the first to ask, and as soon as he said that, most of the people at the table looked at Bi Yunjie, waiting for his answer.

Even Liu Liguo, the eldest brother-in-law of the town's grain depot, and his second brother-in-law cast their gazes at him.

What can one do in town? This is definitely a good topic.

"What are you doing?" Bi Yunjie patted Yu Dawei on the shoulder with a hearty laugh. "As long as I'm here, my brother can do whatever he wants in Luhe Town!"

Well! This guy's bragging again.

In an instant, everyone at the table lost interest in the topic.

Yu Dawei was deep in thought, wondering whether he should just say he wanted to "make an excuse to pee."

This "Bi" is too boastful; he's afraid he won't be able to handle it later.

"Bang!" Seeing that everyone was losing interest, Bi Yunjie hurriedly slammed his hand on the table, forcibly shifting everyone's attention back.

"I'm not bragging, but have you guys heard of Fanfan Repair Shop in Luhe Town lately?" Bi Yunjie put his right elbow on Yu Dawei's shoulder and looked down at the people at the table.

Seeing that his brother-in-law Liu Liguo, as well as Han Guofeng, Han Guoqiang, and others were all stunned, he spoke again: "Have you heard of it? Have you all heard of it?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment after hearing the question, "Have you heard of it?"

You might not have heard of it before, but when everyone was playing mahjong later, Liu Liguo told us that Fanfan's repair shop was run by his brother-in-law.

Since the brother-in-law himself didn't say anything, they didn't dare to make a fuss.

At that time, Bi Yunjie was showing off to Sun Shunli and others, so he had no idea about this.

As a result, the few people who knew what was going on were now all sitting at a table. The only ones who didn't know that Yu Dawei was the owner of Fanfan Repair Shop were Sun Shunli and Bi Yunjie.

Liu Liguo, the elder brother-in-law, wanted to remind him, but his brother-in-law was sitting right next to him.

Isn't reminding yourself considered being nosy?

He had gotten so excited playing mahjong that he accidentally let slip that his brother-in-law owned a repair shop. He still remembers his brother-in-law secretly glaring at him at the time.

Now, forget it, this bastard just got himself into trouble.

Why bring up Fanfan Repair Shop of all people? (Quite the smooth talker: Eloquent, full of nonsense)
