Erleng whispered to Chu Feng, "Brother Xiaofeng, I bumped into him on purpose! Who told him to cause trouble on Sister Xuan and Brother Chenze's wedding day? He deserved it. Don't worry, no one saw it, not even Sanleng, he was just busy eating beef balls at the time."
Chu Feng was well aware of Chu Zhi's ability to blackmail people, not to mention that he was really hit this time.
He responded quietly, "Erleng, thank you for venting my sister's anger. However, if someone comes later, you can't say you hit him on purpose. If you say you didn't hit him, he will blackmail you."
Erleng chuckled, "I thought so too. But don't worry, if I accidentally hit someone while riding my bike in the future, I will definitely take them to the hospital for treatment. Chu Zhi is an example."
"That's good."
Chu Feng walked up to Chu Zhi and said, "Chu Zhi, stop pretending. What are you whining about? Er Leng told me that he didn't bump into you at all. Hurry up and get up!"
Chu Zhi still covered his knees. "My knees were almost broken by that bastard Erleng, and you still say I'm pretending? Come and see! Everyone, come and see! I was hit! Who can take me to the hospital?"
Just then, villagers came over one after another.
Someone asked Sanleng, "Was it your brother who hit Chu Zhi?"
Sanleng didn't see it at all. "I was so busy eating that I didn't notice it. I didn't look until I heard the sound of a bicycle falling to the ground. Chu Zhi was already on the ground, and my brother and the bicycle were also on the ground."
Chu Feng then realized that Erleng was playing with his own life. Even if he hit Chu Zhi, he couldn't hurt himself!
He quickly asked in a low voice, "Erleng, are you hurt anywhere?"
After he reminded him, Erleng immediately covered his shoulder with one hand and his hip with the other, thinking of a trick to deal with Chu Zhi. "I fell to my death! Chu Zhi is so mean! He knew I was riding Xiaofeng's bike, so he jumped out and flipped it over, and I fell heavily to the ground."
Everyone saw the dust on Erleng's body.
In addition, Chu Zhi had just done something bad this morning, and the news had already spread throughout the entire fishing village. Now no one believed Chu Zhi's words, and everyone believed Er Leng.
"Erleng, can you still walk?"
"Hurry home and have your mother take you to the hospital for a checkup. Don't let Chu Zhi off easily!"
"That's right! Chu Zhi is such a piece of shit!"
"Chu Zhi, stop pretending and get up!"
"Chu Zhi, you'll have to pay for it later!"
…
Facing the condemnation of the crowd, Chu Zhi felt for the first time how annoying he was.
It was clearly him who was hit, but now he has become the culprit.
With an aggrieved look on his face, he said, "I'm innocent! I was really hit by Erleng! My knee hurts so much..."
Before he could finish, everyone started saying, "Don't try to make excuses. Your leg is already injured and hasn't healed properly yet."
"Don't use your past injuries to blackmail others."
"Everyone, if you meet Chu Zhi next time, please stay away from him to avoid being blackmailed by him."
…
Chu Zhi felt that he could not wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Just then, Mu Chenze came over on his bike with Chu Xuan in tow.
Hearing everyone accusing Chu Zhi of blackmail, Chu Xuan angrily walked up to Chu Zhi and said, "You tried to ruin my wedding with Chen Ze today, and I haven't settled the score with you yet! Are you looking for a beating? Get as far away from me as you can!"
Chu Zhi stiffened his neck and said, "I admit that I tried to ruin your wedding, but I don't admit to hitting Erleng. I didn't hit him! He hit me!"
Chu Xuan inadvertently caught a hint of guilt in Xiao Feng's eyes. He was her own brother, and she knew him well.
It seems that there is something fishy about this matter, and it may not be Chu Zhi's fault.
Even if it wasn't, she wasn't going to let Chu Zhi seek justice. She sneered and said in a voice that only she and Chu Zhi could hear, "If you don't leave now, I'm going to make your privacy public!"
Chu Zhi sneered, "Sorry, you can't threaten me anymore. My disease has been cured! Go ahead and spread the word!"
Chu Xuan finally understood. No wonder Chu Zhi dared to try to ruin her wedding. It turned out that her bed-wetting problem had been cured.
Mu Chenze parked his bicycle, walked up to Chu Zhi, and whispered in his ear, "Do you think you're the only one we have against us?"
Chu Zhi suddenly felt unsure, "What leverage do you have over me?"
A person who is upright does not fear his shadow's crookedness, but the problem is that he is not upright.
Mu Chenze whispered, "Do you think no one knows that you're having an affair with Widow Qiu's daughter?"
Widow Qiu's daughter has a husband and has a bad temper. If she knew about this, she would kill Chu Zhi.
Chu Zhi didn't expect that he even knew this.
He asked timidly, "How did you know?"
This happened when he met Feng Shuai on the way back, and Feng Shuai told Mu Chenze.
Naturally, I couldn't tell the truth at this moment, so I made up an excuse, "Because I ran into him by chance when I was delivering wedding invitations to the next village."
Chu Zhi ignored the pain in his knees and got up from the ground. "Today is my bad luck."
When he wanted to leave, he was stopped by everyone.
"You have to pay Erleng for his medical expenses!"
"Yes, leave the money."
…
Chu Zhi was determined not to keep the money. "Er Leng and I have no witnesses. I said he bumped into me, and he said I knocked him over. Since we can't prove it, we both have to blame ourselves!"
Limp away.
The crowd behind him murmured, "He's pretending quite well."
Some of them even deliberately imitated Chu Zhi's limping way of walking.
Chu Zhi had no temper at all, after all, he was outnumbered.
He advised himself in his heart that a good man should not suffer a loss in front of him.
He didn't realize what kind of hero he was.
After everyone dispersed, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze looked at Erleng almost at the same time, "Where did you fall? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Erleng, Sanleng and Xiaofeng were amused by their tacit understanding.
After laughing, Erleng was the first to speak, "I just fell on my butt, it doesn't hurt anymore. I pretended to be in pain just now to prevent Chu Zhi from blaming me."
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze were still worried and insisted on sending him to the village clinic.
When I got there, I was completely relieved after confirming that there were no injuries.
Chu Feng's bicycle was also fine.
Chu Feng said hello to his sister and brother-in-law, then pushed his bicycle to send Erleng and Sanleng home.
Mu Chenze drove Chu Xuan back to the Mu family.
No more mention was made of Erleng and Chu Zhi.
After saying goodbye to their family, they went back to their bridal chamber to change clothes.
We will set up a few more tables tonight, mainly to thank those who helped at the wedding banquet.
Except for Min Yi who couldn't come due to something, everyone else came one after another.
They are mainly Qin Mahua and Fu Qing’s family members and several families that are close to the Mu family.
The Mu family's relatives all lived far away and left after the lunch banquet.
It was around nine o'clock in the evening when everyone dispersed.
Mu Chenze finally waited for the long-awaited wedding night.
He personally poured a large basin of hot water for his daughter-in-law.
The other members of the Mu family were very considerate and did not disturb them.
They were all experienced people and knew that they would need water at night, so they boiled several thermoses of water in advance and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After Mu Chenze cleaned up the peanuts, lotus seeds and other things on the kang and laid them out again, he said goodbye to his wife and went to the kitchen to take a shower.
The fire was still burning and it was very warm.
Chu Xuan took advantage of the time to take a quick shower in the bridal chamber. There was a kang, so it wasn't cold at all.
Wearing pajamas, lying on the kang waiting for Chen Ze.
Normally, men take a shower faster than women, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Ze came into the room with a red face.
Chu Xuan spoke softly, "Why did you come back so late? Was there something unexpected?"
