In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 508: Beating up Chen Zhancai
Dabao glared at Chen Zhancai with awe-inspiring aura, "How do you know that my sister Qingqing committed a capital crime? You are so sure, could it be that this case is related to you?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know the person who was poisoned to death, how can it be related to me?" Chen Zhancai immediately retorted. He didn't want to get involved in a murder case. If he was not careful, he would be sent to jail. Once in jail, he would be severely tortured. There were many innocent souls who confessed under torture.
"Since this has nothing to do with you, just shut up and go somewhere cooler. Stop talking nonsense and scaring people."
"You stupid kid, how can you talk like that? As your third uncle, can't I show some concern for Qing girl? You're really taking my kindness for granted!"
"Okay, put away your hypocritical face. Sister Qingqing's affairs don't require you to sit here and worry about them. If you have the time, you should think about how to make money to support your family. Don't act like a ghost all day, just living off the little money you made from selling your wife."
After saying that, Chen Dabao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.
"You're so concerned about my sister Qingqing's affairs. Could it be that you've already spent all the money from selling your wife? So you took advantage of my sister Qingqing's absence to trick my uncle into destroying the letter of severance, and then openly seize their property?
You say you are a scholar after all, and that whatever you do is better than cheating and deceiving people. You are really unworthy of being a scholar by doing this, and you are bringing shame to scholars!"
Old Mrs. Chen's face was as black as iron. "Dabao, what are you talking about? Your Third Uncle has made you speak so unbelievably. Why don't you shut up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers burst into laughter, showing mocking expressions.
"Auntie, it's rare for you to tell the truth."
"Yes, your son relied on his status as a scholar and was spoiled by you until he lost all his humanity and became worse than an animal."
"Who says it's not true? He even sold his wife, and he's not ashamed of it. Now he's shamelessly trying to trick Zhanshan into tearing up the letter of severance. Your third son is such a piece of shit."
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she almost fainted. She calmed herself down and said, "Shut up, everyone! If you dare to slander my son again, I will sue you for defamation!"
Dabao's words directly hit Chen Zhancai's lungs, and the words of the crowd made him lose face.
Chen Zhancai was immediately furious. "You, you bastard, how dare you insult my innocence? I'll teach you a lesson."
He was completely furious and raised his hand to hit.
Dabao doesn't want to spoil him. He has suffered a lot from Chen Zhancai in the past. He relies on his education to boss the whole family around and act arrogantly. It is not easy to divide the family. If he lets him bully him again, wouldn't he be a coward?
Seeing the fist coming towards him, Dabao dodged it, quickly grabbed Chen Zhancai's wrist with his backhand, raised his other arm, and slapped Chen Zhancai's face left and right.
The slap was powerful and the sound was extremely loud.
Chen Zhancai was screaming in pain from being beaten, but Dabao had no intention of stopping.
Old Mrs. Chen was stunned for a while, then she reacted and ran over to stop Dabao, "Dabao, stop it!——"
The people working around were all dumbfounded. Dabao was too powerful. He actually dared to hit the scholar. This caused big trouble!
Chen Zhanshan felt relieved when he saw this. He had long wanted to teach this indifferent beast a lesson, but due to his face, he never dared to do it. Seeing Dabao beating Chen Zhancai was more satisfying than doing it himself.
Chen Zhanliang felt the pain for Chen Zhancai when he saw Dabao slap him on the face.
Sun was so frightened that she hurried over to grab Dabao who didn't want to stop.
Dabao finally stopped talking, still unsatisfied, and shook his hand with disgust, "Chen Zhancai, you are so shameless, you hit me so hard that my hand hurts."
Chen Zhancai was beaten so hard that he felt dizzy and his cheeks were burning with pain.
He covered his face and grimaced in pain. It took him a while to come to his senses. He pointed at Dabao with a trembling finger.
"You, you rebellious beast, you are so bold as to actually assault the scholar. If I don't go to the county government and sue you, I'll be unworthy of my reputation!"
Old Mrs. Chen wanted to rush over to vent her anger for her son, but then she thought that wantonly beating the scholar was a crime of disrespect.
If we report this to the county government, this little bastard will not only get a beating, but he will also have to pay some money as compensation.
If I could really extort a few hundred taels of silver, even if I couldn't reconcile with the first wife, I would be able to live a good life in the future.
She frowned, gritted her teeth and shouted angrily,
"You are such a good boy, Dabao, you actually dared to hit the scholar. You are in trouble, big trouble."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Chen Zhancai's wrist and said, "Come on, Zhancai, let's go to the county government to file a complaint. With just these two mouths, they won't be able to settle the matter without three to five hundred taels of silver."
"Yes, let's sue them." Chen Zhancai was furious. He felt that he had lost face. If he didn't let Dabao suffer a little and learn his lesson, he would definitely be beaten in the future.
He didn't have time to think about anything else now and was about to leave.
Dabao snorted coldly and said dismissively, "Do you think the county government belongs to you and you can sue anyone you want? Do you have any witnesses?"
Chen Zhancai stopped and pointed at the people around him, "These people saw it all just now. They are witnesses. If you are afraid, kneel down and kowtow and apologize. Otherwise, you will be in trouble when you go to the county government office."
Old Lady Chen gnashed her teeth and said, "Yes, if you don't want to suffer physical pain, kowtow and admit your mistake, and then give us some compensation. Otherwise, you little bastard will be beaten with a stick!"
"Witness, where is the witness?" Chen Dabao looked at everyone with a smile, "Uncles and aunts, did anyone see me hitting someone?"
When Dalongzi heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't see it, I just saw someone trying to bully others by taking advantage of their power."
The people working in the sugar mill had long disliked Old Lady Chen and Chen Zhancai, but they didn't dare to say anything more about what had just happened.
Now that they finally got the chance, they started to criticize.
"Yes, I didn't see it either."
"Don't worry, Dabao. If anyone really wants to frame you, we will all go to the county government office to testify for you and see who the county magistrate believes."
"That's right, how could there be such a person? He has nothing to do but pretend to be kind. If he really had such intentions, he would have gone to the county government to inquire about Qing Ya's affairs long ago. He would not have the leisure to negotiate terms with you here."
"That's right, Brother Zhanshan. I wanted to stop you just now, but seeing how anxious you were, I didn't dare to speak. Now that Dabao is back, you must not be fooled by others. I believe Qing girl is a blessed child. She will definitely turn danger into safety and return safely."
"Yes, it's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. Some people are just like dogs that can't change their bad habits. Don't expect him to have any good intentions. From my point of view, he might be up to something bad!"
