Chapter 114: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 114: Cutting off Financial Paths
The entire surrounding tables fell silent, and the faces of Liu Xiaomei and the other worker's wife turned ugly.
If someone else had said these things, they wouldn't believe it. After all, Chen Chunli was Wang Hao's wife, and Wang Hao and Xiao Cheng were brothers. Could brothers really deceive each other?
The pre-banquet snacks, such as melon seeds and fruits on the table, were left untouched.
The thoughts at each table varied.
Bai Lu's sugar-roasted chestnut business was thriving, and she was about to finalize details for expanding sales with various partners. Everyone was excited and eager to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, someone went to the bathroom and heard some unfavorable gossip on the way. The situation took a turn.
The news of defaming Bai Lu's reputation, cutting off her financial paths, wasn't only heard by her.
Even Yu Fugui, who was welcoming guests outside the door, heard it.
The rumors were spreading systematically, and people at other tables occasionally looked towards Bai Lu's table, pointing and whispering.
They were speaking ill of Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng, mentioning their sugar-roasted chestnut business and the overall construction contracting.
It was clear that the news was about Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng selling sugar-roasted chestnuts and undertaking the overall construction contract.
It was obvious who they were talking about. Those who originally wanted to discuss business with Bai Lu fell silent, no longer mentioning anything related to representing sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Bai Lu didn't insist, guessing that the other party probably encountered someone on the way who spread some negative gossip.
The process of the logging project in the Xiao family had encountered some issues. Early this morning, Xiao Guofu came to find Xiao Cheng to go to the countryside.
He probably wouldn't be back until later.
Now they were sitting at the living room table, where words and whispers spread quickly. It wouldn't take long for the news to reach them.
Bai Lu's guess was correct, but the news of damaging reputations and cutting off financial paths spread not only to her.
Even Yu Fugui, anxious and angry, heard it.
The rumors and gossip were well-structured. People around kept looking towards Bai Lu's table, and occasional pointing and whispering occurred.
They were all saying unpleasant things about Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng, questioning their character, tarnishing their reputation, and cutting off their financial paths.
Though no names were mentioned, everyone at the table knew it was about Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng, the sellers of sugar-roasted chestnuts and the contractors of the new house.
Once heard, it was clear that this news was not only reaching them.
Yu Fugui, feeling both urgency and anger, had the detailed list of construction materials. Xiao Cheng had given it to him already, and he had checked it himself. As long as that list was available, any gossip could be dispelled.
However, at that time, he was in a hurry to go to the city to set up a fruit stall, so he handed the detailed list to Wu Xiuyun.
Now, Wu Xiuyun, along with her daughter-in-law and two children, went to greet the visitors who had come from Wu Xiuyun's family. They had traveled early in the morning from a remote mountain area, unfamiliar with the roads.
Yu Fugui didn't know where Wu Xiuyun had put the detailed list, and he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
