Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1184: This is a Big Deal

Chiang Baohe was arrested, and Chiang Songhai and the others learned about it over an hour later.

Hu Xibing found them at Chestnut Mountain, preoccupied with Yu Chunyu’s affairs, and momentarily forgot about the matter he had intended to discuss after receiving a phone call.

The first person he found was Xu Linjiang.

Although Xu Linjiang was a few years younger than him, the relationship between the two had gradually become closer due to Chiang Xiao’s influence. They both spent time in town, and sometimes Xu Linjiang would also drop by his tea house to drink tea and chat.

Hu Xibing trusted Xu Linjiang quite a bit.

All the way there, he hesitated, unsure whether to bring up Yu Chunyu. He felt that to disclose her defilement would not be an honorable thing for a dignified man to do.

But he was truly afraid of Yu Chunyu.

What if she really were to falsely accuse him? This was no joking matter.

In the past year, the crime of hooliganism had became very serious; people had been shot for it, and many had been arrested.

It was said that some were imprisoned just for touching a female comrade, and sentenced to several years without having committed any actual misdeed.

If Yu Chunyu really claimed he had defiled her, could it be clarified?

It was very possible that he would be detained before anything was cleared up.

If he was detained, what would happen to his wife?

The thought was terrifying.

So, after agonizing over it all the way, he finally decided to tell Xu Linjiang.

Xu Linjiang was quite shocked after hearing what he said.

”This is no laughing matter! Old Hu, don’t be foolish! Running away at that time was the right move. If she really pins this on you, it could mean serious trouble!”

Xu Linjiang had also heard about Yu Chunyu from Chiang Xiao.

Initially, Yu Chunyu had fancied Meng Xinian, and then she and Zou Xiaoling had caused a commotion at Osmanthus Alley, where Little Bean Bun was still in Ge Xiaotong’s belly at that time. Ge Xiaotong told him about it later.

Talking about those women, they really didn’t seem like respectable teachers, and he was worried about what would happen when Little Bean Bun went to school. He had teased Ge Xiaotong at the time, worrying about something as far off as middle school before the child was even born.

But now, having heard what Hu Xibing said, he grew genuinely worried.

”At that time, I definitely had to run; how could I dare to stay? However, I’m now feeling that leaving her there alone might be wrong, as if it’s abandoning someone in need.” Whenever Hu Xibing thought of Yu Chunyu’s disheveled appearance, he felt somewhat guilty.

”Just listen to me, if it were anyone else, you’d help however you could, but with Yu Chunyu, you really need to keep your distance. If it really comes to it, let’s go together to her house and tell her family, so they can look for her.”

Xu Linjiang truly felt one should avoid getting involved with someone like Yu Chunyu, especially since she immediately thought to blame Hu Xibing, making her seem quite frightening.

Hu Xibing sighed heavily, ”Alright!”

As they were about to leave, Ge Dejun and Chiang Songhai approached, each holding a hand-rolled cigarette.

Seeing Chiang Songhai reminded Hu Xibing of his initial purpose.

”Uncle, I almost forgot to tell you, your village’s party secretary called, said someone from your family came over, looks like it’s your daughter-in-law.”

Chiang Songhai was taken aback.

”My daughter-in-law?”

He couldn’t quite grasp it at the moment. Daughter-in-law?

Who was his daughter-in-law?

As it dawned on him, he was suddenly stunned.

Qingjiang’s Wife?

”Where is she now?” he inquired.

”They said she’s at Old Chiang Family’s place.”
