Chapter 67 Heartbreaking Family Bonds
Zheng Haiyang never expected that, right after he complained about his mother falling into the cesspool and being ashamed, he himself would be pushed into the cesspool.
If he finds out which despicable bastard did this, he'll definitely get his revenge and make that scoundrel experience what it's like to swim in a cesspool!
"Help!"
"Help! Help me!"
Is anyone there?
"Someone please help me!"
"..."
There was nothing but silence.
On ordinary mornings, there are always many people queuing to use the public toilet, but today, perhaps because it's a day off, people didn't get up as early.
Zheng Haiyang shouted at the top of his lungs for a long time, but no one came over.
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
He was full of resentment, cursing, "Damn it! They're always so quick to run away when it's time to watch the fun, but not a single one of them comes to help me! They're all a bunch of selfish, unfriendly neighbors!"
The cesspool wasn't deep enough to drown an adult, but it stank!
In a short period of time, Zheng Haiyang had already ejaculated several times, and his face was covered in purplish-blue smoke.
The latrine was freezing cold in the dead of winter, making Zheng Haiyang shiver.
Zheng Haiyang cursed as he tried to climb up himself.
"Thump!"
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Damn it, it's slippery all around, he... he can't climb up!
Zheng Haiyang tried many more times, but all of them ended in failure.
It wasn't until Zheng Haihua made a big fuss with the Zhu brothers that people from the compound came over.
When everyone came over and saw it, they were quite shocked.
"Oh my god! How did the ocean fall into a cesspool again?"
"Good heavens, this is so disgusting!"
"Damn it, what's wrong with the Zheng family, mother and son? The mother died a while ago, and now the son has died. Do they have such a strong fascination with this cesspool?!"
Just then, Zheng Haihua pointed at Zheng Haiyang, who kept climbing up and falling down, getting himself all disheveled, and said with a grin,
"Dajun and Xiaojun, look, falling into a cesspool is much more interesting than blowing it up, isn't it?"
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang gritted his teeth, "Zheng Haihua! You just wait!"
Others: "..."
That's so filial!
This kid really hasn't been disciplined enough.
...
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng also jogged over with the crowd, immediately securing a prime spot—a perfect place to enjoy the melons while avoiding getting them dirty.
When Cheng Jiajia first arrived at this compound, she was quite shocked to see such a thing.
After these months of chaotic life in the tenement, Cheng Jiajia is no longer the same person she used to be.
She's a worldly-wise bystander!
Even now, she is still quite shocked to see someone fall into a cesspool.
Holy crap, I've fallen into a cesspool again!
How come she encountered this once-in-a-century event, something most people might not even experience in their lifetime, once, twice... three times?
As expected!
The courtyard where Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong lived was truly extraordinary!
Things that could shock someone's entire family are probably just trivial matters to them.
Indeed, do the Zheng family have an unusually strong connection with latrines?
The mother and son take turns coming, could it be that they really have some kind of special fetish?
Cheng Jiajia didn't understand, and she was greatly shocked.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng started whispering to each other about crickets.
...
The people above were discussing it animatedly.
Zheng Haiyang below was extremely anxious; he waved his arms repeatedly.
"Help! Help me!"
Everyone was still whispering excitedly or frowning, and no one noticed him at all.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Where are they?! Where are they?!
Damn it, damn it, what nonsense are you talking about?
Hurry and save them!
Hurry and save them!
He yelled, "Stop talking and come save me!"
Everyone: "..."
Only then did I remember there was someone else in the latrine.
Then everyone fell silent and took a step back in unison.
The intention to not want to continue was expressed very clearly.
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
Zheng Haiyang saw all of this clearly from below. He was about to angrily rebuke these people for being heartless, unwilling to help others, and disgracing the Party and the country's teachings when...
Suddenly, a sharp wail rang out.
"Son, my son! How are you?! Mom's here!"
Chang Dafeng swiftly moved her two short legs, sweeping over like a whirlwind.
She quickly pushed through the crowd and saw Zheng Haiyang covered in filth in the cesspool; her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She knew how dirty and cold it was inside. How could her eldest son, whom she was most proud of, suffer like this?
Chang Dafeng screamed and wailed, "Damn it! Which heartless bastard pushed my son in there?! What a black-hearted, despicable scoundrel! A beast!"
"My son, you've suffered! Wait for me, I'll get you out of here!"
Zheng Haihua shrank back in fear, opened his mouth but didn't dare say anything, and just quietly moved a little further away from his mother.
Chang Dafeng, however, did not notice this.
After she finished crying, she turned around and cursed viciously at the people who were standing by watching the spectacle.
"You cold-blooded, heartless, inhuman people! My son has fallen, and not one of you went down to save him! You just stood there watching! Bah! If anything happens to my son, you'll all die a horrible death!"
Everyone: "!!!"
What the heck?!
Everyone immediately became unhappy. "Aunt Chang, how can you talk like that? Why should we go down and pull your son? This thing is so dirty, if it gets our clothes dirty, you're going to compensate us!"
It's obvious that Chang Dafeng, that stingy shrew, wouldn't pay compensation; she probably wouldn't even help them wash it.
Who would be willing to do something that doesn't even bring any credit for saving lives?
"And all of your kids love jumping into the latrine. Who knows if we'll do it again after this one time?"
No one wanted to pull Zheng Haiyang, partly because they were afraid of getting their clothes dirty, and partly because they were all getting annoyed by his family's repeated attempts.
This lively scene is visually appealing, but it has a certain unpleasantness to it.
Every time someone from their family fell in, a certain smell would linger in the courtyard for several days.
How disgusting!
It's fortunate that it wasn't during a hot day, otherwise their entire compound would have suffered.
Someone chimed in, "Exactly! You deserve to be taught a lesson, otherwise your family will really think the latrine is some kind of nice place, going down there every few days. Who can stand that?"
Everyone: "..."
Everyone's lips twitched speechlessly. What the hell is this, playing in a cesspool? You're a real genius!
Chang Dafeng's face darkened, and she glared hatefully at the speaker, Ma Gaosheng, and cursed:
"You're the one who plays in the cesspool!"
"Your whole family plays in the cesspool!"
Ma Gaosheng immediately clutched his chest warily, took a few steps back, and said in a panic, "What are you doing, Aunt Chang? I know I'm handsome. Are you up to something again? Let me tell you, I'm not interested in old women like you. Don't even think about doing anything inappropriate to me, or I'll really report you for indecent assault!"
Everyone burst into laughter, their gazes towards Chang Dafeng and Ma Gaosheng carrying a hint of ambiguity.
Chang Dafeng: "..."
Damn it, why did we have to bring this up again!
You can't get through this, right?
This is definitely a dark chapter in Chang Dafeng's life; the kind that makes her face turn black just mention it.
She spat loudly, "Pah! I wouldn't even look at an ugly thing like you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say goes, Aunt Chang!" Ma Gaosheng acted as if to say, "You're right, you're not wrong, I don't want to argue with you."
Chang Dafeng: "!!!"
Chang Dafeng got angry again.
Ahhh!
How can this piece of trash be so despicable?!
Chang Dafeng was so angry that she almost forgot why she came here. All she wanted to do was roll up her sleeves and have a good fight with that bastard Ma Gaosheng.
Just then, someone suddenly said, "Aunt Chang, with so many people in your own family, are you worried about not being able to get your son to move along?"
She then remembered that her precious eldest son was still in the cesspool.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Finally, finally!
Finally, someone remembered he was still down there!
Waaaaah, it was so hard!
Chang Dafeng's eyes immediately reddened, and she started crying out again, "Son, I'm so sorry, just hang in there a little longer, I'll call someone to pull you up!"
How could an old woman like her possibly pull her son, a strong young man, along?
Of course, we need to find someone else.
Chang Dafeng looked around but couldn't find Zou Qianjin, who had helped her pull the cart last time.
I don't know why that old man didn't come.
If only he were here, I could just go find him.
Anyway, he's in charge of the building, so how could he not care about the residents?
Chang Dafeng frowned and could only shout at the top of her lungs, "Haicheng, Haicheng? Quickly go and borrow a rope to pull your brother up!"
"Qiu Bai, Jiang Qiu Bai! Come quick, quickly pull your man up!"
Those damned selfish bastards refused to help, so she had no choice but to turn to her own family.
Ironically, Zheng Haicheng and Jiang Qiubai, who have always been at odds, are now coexisting peacefully, a rare occurrence.
The two of them were keeping their distance and neither said anything to the other.
When Chang Dafeng shouted, they could no longer hide and had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.
No matter how unwilling or disgusted Zheng Haicheng was, how could he remain indifferent when his own brother fell into a cesspool in front of everyone?
He still wanted to find a job, and he needed to be careful about his reputation, so he had to suppress his displeasure and go to borrow a rope.
Jiang Qiubai was also disgusted, but then he thought that this was a good opportunity to show himself.
Lately, my mother-in-law has been keeping a close eye on my belly, making sarcastic remarks every now and then. If I had helped in saving Haiyang, my mother-in-law and Haiyang wouldn't be grateful, but they certainly wouldn't have been pushing me so hard.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiubai immediately became very proactive. Seeing the rope arrive, she took it, ran forward, and shouted:
"Brother Haiyang, I'm here to save you!"
It's just like a worried wife going to rescue her trapped husband.
The scene was beautiful, but the result was not what she had expected.
With a "whoosh," Jiang Qiubai slipped.
She screamed, "Ah!"
"Plop"
Feces sprayed everywhere.
"Oh my god!"
Everyone covered their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
Oh dear, looks like I'll have to skip breakfast this morning!
Zheng Haiyang wiped the unidentified substance off his face with a dark expression.
He gritted his teeth, his voice as cold as ice, and roared, "Jiang Qiubai!!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized something was wrong, and his expression changed drastically. "Pah! Pah! Pah! Heitui!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Ugh!
This has truly shocked them for a hundred years!
No, no, no, we can tell this to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren when we're old!
Even Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, who both considered themselves worldly-wise, were deeply shocked.
It was something I had never heard of or seen before, and it shocked my whole family.
The two were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long time.
After a long pause, Cheng Jiajia gave Yu Junsheng a thumbs-up and said quietly, "The people in your compound are truly amazing!"
They even dare to eat this stuff, wow~
Terrifying!
They don't have such brave and capable people in their area.
Yu Junsheng: "..."
I don't really want this compliment, thank you!
He felt it was extremely shameful to share a courtyard with someone like that. Thank you!
Yu Junsheng could already foresee that in the future, when people mentioned their courtyard, they would say, "Hey, that courtyard where people ate that kind of stuff..."
"..."
Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.
Moreover, after this incident, it will probably be even more difficult for the young men and women in their compound to find partners!
Yu Junsheng felt deeply fortunate, "Wife, I'm so glad I married you." Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a wife and would have remained a bachelor for life.
Cheng Jiajia didn't understand what he was talking about, but she was very curious about something.
She whispered close to Yu Junsheng's ear, "Do you think Jiang Qiubai will remember this scene when he kisses Zheng Haiyang in the future? Will he still be able to bring himself to kiss her then?"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
His wife always seems to be thinking things that are different from others.
However, he was also very curious whether Jiang Qiubai could bring himself to kiss her.
under.
Jiang Qiubai shuddered. Had she messed things up again?
Chang Dafeng's face changed instantly, and she began cursing, "Useless thing! A complete failure! You can't even do a small task right! Bah!"
Jiang Qiubai shrank back, looking like a quail.
But in his mind, he kept replaying the image of Zheng Haiyang spitting out words, and the thought of kissing those lips before made Jiang Qiubai almost vomit.
She barely managed to hold back.
If she showed it, her mother-in-law and Haiyang would be even angrier, and she couldn't afford to anger them any further.
...
Originally, the three members of the Zheng family could barely manage with Zheng Haiyang by their side, but now another one has left.
An old woman plus Zheng Haicheng, who had just come of age, certainly couldn't pull the two adult men and women below.
Zheng Haiyang held one end of the rope, while Chang Dafeng and Zheng Haicheng pulled from above. With a tug, there was a "plop" sound from below.
Zheng Haicheng and Chang Dafeng were too weak to lift Zheng Haiyang, a fairly strong young man.
With a little effort, it went "plop," repeating this several times.
Two middle-aged men couldn't bear to watch any longer, so several of them worked together to help pull the person up.
As a result, Zheng Haiyang was finally pulled up, only to overhear the conversation between the Zhu brothers and his own younger brother.
"Zheng Haihua, you're amazing! You managed to push your big, tall brother down, that's incredible!"
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang's face turned from blue to purple in an instant, and his fists clenched tightly.
Damn it, damn it!
It turns out this little brat got me into trouble!
Everyone: "..."
I was shocked once again.
Good heavens, this is truly a deeply touching display of brotherhood!
They were so moved they almost cried.
Cheng Jiajia stared wide-eyed at Zheng Haihua, this little brat, in disbelief.
This is yet another shock to her entire family!
Cheng Jiajia initially thought the brat was just saying it casually, but she never expected him to actually push her older brother down.
Is it just to prove to your friends that you're right?
This is truly... truly... an earth-shattering, heartbreaking display of familial love!
Cheng Jiajia's eyes welled up with tears.
Yu Junsheng looked excited and kept talking!
The destructive power of a naughty child is unpredictable; let him be right, shall we?
That little bastard really pushed his older brother into the cesspool!
I knew I hadn't misjudged him!
Zheng Haihua, head held high, said smugly to the Zhu brothers, "Of course! Don't you know who I am? Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
The Zhu brothers exchanged a glance and shouted in unison, "Eldest brother!"
Zheng Haihua became increasingly smug.
Hmph, he's finally won over the two Zhu brothers. From now on, he'll be their boss!
Zheng Haihua was secretly delighted.
However, after he finished being smug, he turned around and saw his older brother's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Big...Big brother..."
Zheng Haihua was startled and knew something was wrong, so he turned and tried to run away.
But it was too late.
Someone grabbed my collar, and then I felt a sharp pain in my ear.
"Zheng Haihua! I'll beat you to death!!!"
Cheng Jiajia silently lit a candle for this brat in her heart.
The result was predictable: Zheng Haihua was beaten again.
The wailing and howling of ghosts echoed throughout the entire courtyard, sounding extremely tragic.
But no one sympathized with him, and no one pleaded for him.
Everyone agreed that this brat deserved to be punished!
If we don't teach them a lesson, they're bound to cause chaos.
That morning, the residents of the courtyard and the surrounding area heard a roar that pierced the sky, along with a mournful wail.
The young children were so frightened that they cried loudly.
Parents who were unaware of the situation kept cursing.
Which heartless bastard beats a child so badly?
It scared its own child to tears!
Don't you have any sense of public morality?
