Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 591 Will this drag on forever?

"Don't go too far?"

Lin Jingyu stared at him calmly and said coldly, "Am I going too far? So, your wife isn't going too far at all?"

"She's already been beaten by you, what more do you want?"

Seeing Lin Jingyu's aggressive demeanor, Peng Fengyuan clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

"What do I want?"

Lin Jingyu smiled.

Her cold smile sent chills down Peng Fengyuan's spine.

"you!"

Peng Fengyuanzi's face turned pale.

He could clearly feel Lin Jingyu's aura pressing down on him.

I am as insignificant and humble as a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

If someone really wanted to get rid of themselves, they could destroy themselves with a flick of their finger.

"Everyone knows in their heart what is right and wrong."

Lin Jingyu spoke again, "Mr. Peng has people he wants to protect, and so do I, Lin Jingyu."

Moreover, everyone has their own bottom line and dignity.

I am not a saint, I cannot repay evil with good, and I cannot laugh it off after being bullied to this extent.

Please also ask Mr. Peng to tell your wife.

I will take revenge on Peng Qibo for all the insults and curses she has hurled at me or my family.

Since she's targeting the person I care about most, then I'll target the person she cares about most in return.

I think this is fair.

Mr. Peng, what do you think?

"Lin Jingyu, why bother arguing with a woman like her..."

"Pah!"

He interrupted Peng Fengyuan with a slap.

Enraged that he hadn't expected to be hit, Peng Fengyuan roared at the person in front of him, "Lin Jingyu, how dare you hit me?"

"Mr. Peng, why bother arguing with a junior like me!"

Looking at Peng Fengyuan, who looked like he wanted to devour someone, Lin Jingyu revealed a mocking smile, "I am a woman and a junior. Mr. Peng, you should be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Peng Fengyuan was furious, pointing at the person in front of him, "You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'?"

Lin Jingyu said with a disdainful look, "Since Mr. Peng himself can't even do this, what right do you have to ask us not to make a fuss?"

On what grounds?

You think you're shameless?

Are you shameless enough?

"Or do you think I, Lin Jingyu, am easy to bully?"

Peng Fengyuan was furious and roared, "Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"sure!"

Lin Jingyu smiled faintly, "I wish you would call the police immediately. We can go on the radio, television, and newspapers and let the whole country see just how despicable and shameful your family is."

"you……"

Peng Fengyuan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a word.

"Mr. Peng can choose to report the incident to the police or seek revenge privately."

Lin Jingyu continued, "No matter what method you use to return it, I, Lin Jingyu, will accept it. Do as you please."

“It wasn’t Jingyu who took it; it was the Wen family who took it.”

Guo Ruozhi glared at him angrily, "Peng Fengyuan, I, Guo Ruozhi, am telling you, this is not over. Your whole family will just wait."

...

What happened that day.

Like a gust of wind, it quickly reached the ears of the various families.

Everyone knew and shook their heads.

Each person has only one thought in their mind.

The Peng family is completely finished.

For the next twenty or thirty years, no one in the Peng family will have a chance to rise to prominence.

Of all people to offend, why did you have to offend Lin Jingyu?

It's like the birthday celestial being contemplating suicide because he thinks he's lived too long.

After learning what had happened, Old Master Peng collapsed.

He looked much older than he was, and appeared to be nearing the end of his life.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry!"

Peng Qibo sat by his grandfather's bedside, his face full of guilt, despite his injuries. "It's all my fault for being useless."

"Bo'er, you did nothing wrong, you are a good person."

Grandpa Peng looked full of regret. "It's my fault for being too cautious. I didn't have the courage to go all in, nor the decisiveness to burn my bridges."

It's precisely because we overthink things and want things to be better that things have turned out this way.

"grandfather!"

With tears in his eyes, Peng Qibo responded, "No matter what choice we make, good or bad, we can bear it."

"It's still my fault."

Grandpa Peng was filled with remorse. "I didn't stop your mother from acting recklessly in time. I always tried to obscure things so that our family could salvage some of its reputation."

If your mother hadn't become increasingly obsessed with your refusal to get married, none of this would have happened.

Wrong.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

Now we've truly lost everything.

I am not reconciled.

I really can't accept it.

"A little girl from the countryside has such great influence and ability."

"Grandpa, don't worry, we have a chance."

Peng Qibo comforted him, saying, "Our Peng family will always have a place in the capital, no matter what. I assure you."

"Bo'er, you..."

Grandpa Peng looked at his eldest grandson with suspicion and uncertainty. "Are you planning to get married, have children, and then support the next generation?"

"I have no such plans."

Peng Qibo shook his head. "Grandpa, we agreed that Qiming will be the successor of our family."

“If it were before, Qiming would have had some opportunities after growing up to be outstanding.”

Grandpa Peng remained silent. "There are no opportunities now. No one will give him this opportunity, nor will they give him the chance to grow."

"Grandpa, I'm here."

Peng Qibo smiled silently, his tone filled with confidence, "I will stand behind him. Even if others are unwilling for the rise of our Peng family, they will at least give me some face."
