Chapter 243 - 235 Discovered_1
Indeed, Chunxi was secretly pleased that her scheme against Lin Yue had succeeded, only to find that not long after, word spread about her ingratitude. The news of selling the ’bad eggs’ to Lin Yue ruined her reputation in Zhao Family Village, and wherever she went, people pointed and talked about her.
Even if Chunxi was enraged, what could she do? She had indeed been the one to do it, and now that she had been found out, she was lucky no one had come to make a scene at her doorstep. She dared not seek out anyone to argue with and could only walk around trying to avoid others as much as possible, all the while seething with anger inside, wondering how she had been discovered!
When Zhao Erhu returned and heard about Chunxi selling the bad eggs to his family, he figured such behavior wasn’t out of character for someone like Chunxi. Seeing his young wife was neither unhappy nor troubled by the matter, he was relieved but didn’t forget to give her a few words of advice.
"Wife, that’s just how people are, so in the future, when making friends, you need to keep your eyes peeled. It’s best to let me screen them for you first. You’re young and inexperienced; there’re some things you can’t see clearly, so you need someone to watch out for you."
"Zhao Erhu, I’ve noticed you’re getting more and more fond of lecturing me. Do you feel a particular sense of achievement when you do so? I bet you just want to control everything I do," Lin Yue said, rolling her eyes at Zhao Erhu.
Having spent a lot of time together, not only did Zhao Erhu understand Lin Yue more and more, but the reverse was also true. Because she had been hurt before, she cared more about and was more defensive of the things she valued. Zhao Erhu had a strong desire to control, wanting to manage and know about everything, whether it was a big issue or a small matter.
