Chapter 513: Beat Me

Chen Ruolan was very upset. She never expected that Chen Qingqing would be so difficult to deal with. After so many days, she still managed to withstand the torture. People really underestimated her.

When she heard Shen Yuanze calling her Ruolan, she was startled. She looked up and saw him staring at her. She knew he was up to no good, so she slammed the table and scolded him harshly.

"Shen Yuanze, don't forget your identity. Be mindful of your words and actions. If you dare to indulge in such immoral thoughts again, I will not forgive you."

"I dare not, I dare not." Shen Yuanze was just testing the water. He did not expect Chen Ruolan to have such an extreme reaction. He was almost frightened to death and quickly stood up to apologize.

"Madam, please forgive me. I just said something rude and didn't mean to offend you."

Chen Ruolan's expression softened, and she snorted coldly, "I don't think you'd dare! Okay, you have nothing to do here, get out!"

"Okay, I'll leave right now, right now." Shen Yuanze walked away dejectedly with his head lowered.

Chen Ruolan looked at his departing back and snorted disdainfully.

"You shameless thing, why don't you take a piss and look at your own bad behavior? I've reached a position that you can't even dream of. If it weren't for you introducing me to Qin Shousheng, I would have made things difficult for you in front of Qin Shousheng."

After she finished speaking, she secretly thought that Chen Qingqing had no chance of turning things around now, and it was time to go back to Nanshan Village, raid her house, and take over her sugar factory.

Thinking of this, she stood up and left the inner house, said goodbye to Qin Shousheng, took a few yamen runners with her, got on a carriage and drove straight to Nanshan Village.

Nanshan Village.

Chen Zhancai originally thought that he could control the eldest wife with his status as a scholar, but he did not expect that something went wrong along the way.

Not only did Dabao mess up the situation, but he also caught me in a fight.

Not only did he get beaten up, but he also didn't know how to explain it to Old Lady Chen.

Old Mrs. Chen is also a toad with a broken spine, without any bones, and can't lift a single spirit.

She felt bad no matter how she thought about it, and couldn't help but complain.

"Third brother, I really can't figure you out now. Can you tell me the truth? What happened to the sixty taels of silver? Do you owe Dabao money?"

Chen Zhancai was extremely annoyed and said with a dark face, "Are you done yet? Didn't I tell you yesterday? You still ask me. It's so annoying!"

"Oh my dear son, you are going to make me anxious to death!" Old Mrs. Chen was at a loss. She owed others so much money, how could she pay it back?

What if that little bastard Dabao does something inhumane and goes to the county government to sue his son for not paying back the money? Then the couple will be in dire straits and won't even have a place to live.

When Old Man Chen heard about this yesterday, he almost fainted on the spot.

Seeing Chen Zhancai's impatient look, he was furious and said, "Third brother, talk to your mother properly and stop looking so gloomy. We don't owe you anything."

"Why are you yelling at me?"

Chen Zhancai rolled his eyes and started to lie.

"How do you expect me to talk to you nicely? I told you yesterday that after I was robbed last time, I happened to run into that little bastard Dabao. Seeing that I was in trouble, he showed no sympathy at all. He even made me sign a receipt for sixty taels of silver under the pretext of bringing me back. That's it. I can't help it if you don't believe me."

When Old Lady Chen heard this, she slapped her thighs in anxiety. "My silly son, what can I say to you? Why don't you think about this kind of thing? You just do whatever you are told to do. This is, this is just idiocy!"

"Old woman, you are telling the truth this time. His head was kicked by a donkey, pinched by a door, and scratched by a chicken's claws. This is sixty taels of silver. How could you be so stupid as to sign a receipt? You are so stupid!" Old man Chen couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

Hearing them scold him like this, Chen Zhancai was so angry that his teeth were almost broken. "Shut up! Are there any parents like you? What do you mean by idiot? What do you mean by being kicked by a donkey or being caught by a door? If I hadn't been thinking about you two old people who needed to be supported at home, I would never have signed the receipt for sixty taels of silver!"

These words warmed Mrs. Chen's heart. She felt as if she had wronged her son, and she hurriedly explained, "My dear son, don't be angry. I misunderstood you. If you hadn't signed the agreement, you might have died in a foreign land, and I would never have seen my good son again."

When Old Man Chen heard this, he was so angry that his palms itched. He really wanted to slap Old Lady Chen in the face to wake her up. She changed her face faster than the weather. How could she believe such a lie?

"Old woman, don't listen to his nonsense. He's full of lies. He talks better than he sings. He's just talking big. From my perspective, that's not the case at all."

After saying that, he pointed at Chen Zhancai angrily and said, "Tell me the truth, what's going on?"

"What else do you want me to say?" Chen Zhancai also got angry and stood up suddenly. "You are really getting more unreasonable as you get older. I've told you eight hundred times, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"You bastard, how dare you show off in front of me? I'll beat you to death today!" Old man Chen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to slap Chen Zhancai in the face.

Chen Zhancai grabbed his wrist and gritted his teeth, "You old fool, just say what you want to say, don't touch me. If you dare to act tough again, I will be rude to you!"

"You, you, you bastard, do you still want to hit me?" Old man Chen was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He shook off his hand with force and kicked Chen Zhancai hard with his leg.

Chen Zhancai was prepared and dodged quickly, shouting, "Are you done yet, old man? That's enough. You're really getting ahead of yourself."

"You bastard, you have red hair, yet you dare to scold me." Old man Chen gritted his teeth, swung his arm, and slapped Chen Zhancai in the face again.

Chen Zhancai had been spoiled and had never suffered such humiliation before. Old man Chen's behavior completely aroused his anger.

Without waiting for the slap from Old Man Chen to fall, he stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and swung his fist to hit him.

Old Mrs. Chen was frightened by this sudden action and was at a loss as to what to do. Seeing that the two men were about to fight, she shouted loudly,

"Zhancai, stop it! That's your father! Hitting your father and scolding your mother is treasonous, don't do that!"
