Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 369

Lin Lan still wanted to talk to Dong Huaihua about the promotion of physical hygiene and wondered if she would be able to subsidise her work points in some way if she also participated in the plan.

But since Dong Huaihua didn’t take it seriously last time, she was going to insist on finding an opportunity to pitch the idea to Han Yongfang first.

At this time, a young man came over and smiled at Lin Lan, “Sister-in-law, lend me some money, will you? I’ll return it on a later date.”

Lin Lan turned to look at him, it turned out to be the sent-down youth(1) with the surname Chen.

(T/N: A sent-down youth was typically a person who was currently or once sent to the counties or cities to pursue a higher education in contrast to their rural backgrounds.)

Ever since she knew that Liu Xiuyun’s secret lover was Youth Chen, Lin Lan had a bad impression of him.

What are you smiling for, you piece of scum?!

She pretended not to hear him and spoke to Dong Huaihua.

Chen Zhiqing’s smile became a bit forced,”Hey, sister-in-law, why are you ignoring me? Do you ignore people now that Director Han changed his career and returned home?”

For God’s sake, when was I ever so familiar with you?

Lin Lan skimmed through her memories and found that the original owner had only met him a couple times. Most of the time, she was the one who was placed in the spotlight as he was one of the busybodies that made sarcastic remarks about her.

Oh, wait, there seemed to have been a couple of times where they met in private as well.

For example, he met her once when he was on the way to work. He looked at her with such a lurking yet dissatisfied gaze, as if he thought of her as being too hard to deal with despite her inviting appearance.

How disgusting!

Youth Chen was quite popular among the women’s circle in the village as he was good at making jokes and had some form of skill when it came to sweet-talking. On a random day, he would praise a certain lady for her looks and praise another for being virtuous on the next.

As long as he wasn’t going to do anything to her, she could ignore his existence.

Otherwise, she wasn’t going to keep remaining polite.

Lin Lan squinted at him, “Oh yes, the sent-down youth Chen,” Then, she ignored him.

Youth Chen smiled awkwardly, “Sister-in-law, let me borrow a bit of money. I will return the money to you when the family remittance arrives on another day.”

The sent-down youths have homes or rented spaces in the city, so they also mailed things and remitted money during the holidays. He had also accumulated some of his current popularity by buying things for others.

Dong Huaihua looked at him warily, “Why are you borrowing money? How much are you asking for?”

She wondered if he wanted to borrow money to take Xiuyun for an abortion.

When Lin Lan mentioned to Dong Huaihua that she saw Xiuyun in the hospital, she immediately remembered the girl’s condition and the information that the children had relayed. After connecting all the dots, Dong Huaihua concluded that Liu Xiuyun had an affair with Youth Chen and became pregnant.

Dong Huaihua had been the Women’s Director for many years, so she had a lot of experience under her belt; nothing could be hidden from her sharp eyes.

Seeing him now, it looked as if she was immediately swishing a blade within her eyes.
