Chapter 116 Self-inflicted Trouble
"Fuck you! Wasn't it for everyone's consideration when I brought up these things? But what about you? You just threw me in like that?"
Even a weak and frail person like Dong Wencai was swearing non-stop, and his curses were so foul that Chen Zhuyi didn't want to listen.
Niu Chenggong and Jia Yun had not found the real culprit yet. The two of them were pushing each other and their hearts were not on the same page. Naturally, they could not solve all the problems.
The three grown men were fighting with each other. Cheng Zhuoyue took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere. Not only did he not rush to persuade them, he also gave them instructions on how to hit them so that it would hurt more.
Facing such a lively scene, Chen Zhuyi's eyelids twitched several times before he barely found a way to get in the middle of it. He hugged Ye Xumei's arm and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. We were fighting when we got here, and we could even curse a few times. Now it seems like they've gone bloodthirsty. But don't worry, it won't affect us." Ye Xumei had learned some bad habits from Cheng Zhuoyue. He patted Chen Zhuyi's shoulder frankly and gave her a handful of melon seeds.
There were also many pairs of eyes outside looking in. The door was wide open, and the people outside could hear their argument clearly. Now they pieced together the truth from countless gossips and sighed in amazement.
“Don’t say it, Chen Zhuyi’s sister is just charming, and she can even make them turn against each other, it’s really extraordinary.”
"I heard the sisters don't get along very well. Auntie, give me a handful of melon seeds." A woman who knew more about the inside story asked for a handful of melon seeds, spitting out a few before saying, "I heard that on the first day Chen Wantang arrived, she dragged all these men along. The two sisters don't get along at all."
Because of Shen Wantang, those male educated youth did not go to work at all. The village chief and Secretary Chen were almost angry to death. Everyone knew about this matter. Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. In addition, everyone was bored, and the matter had already spread in a direction that they could not control.
Chen Zhu, who was standing next to him, listened to Ye Xumei's words and could also hear the noisy noises of the aunts outside. Looking at the room where Chen Wantang was resting, his eyes showed a bit of helplessness.
Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven.
If Chen Wantang hadn't had so many ulterior motives from the beginning, and had just honestly wanted to come here to find a suitable job, or even wanted to stay, the people in the village would definitely welcome her very much.
But unfortunately, this woman went down a path of no return.
For many years, she has been lazy and gluttonous and has not been able to change her character. Even when she came here, she still wanted Chen Zhuyi to serve her like before. Now, things have become like this and no one can help her.
The only thing that made her feel a little relieved was that the villagers did not confuse her with Shen Wantang, otherwise, Shen Zhuyi was sure that she would be scolded to death behind her back!
"Killing is against the law. You are too arrogant!" Cheng Zhuoyue roared. Seeing that the group of people had picked up the wooden sticks and bricks beside them, he immediately snatched the weapons and warned them.
He thought that after these young men calmed down, they would reflect on themselves first. This matter was not a big deal. It was self-directed and self-acted. Being locked up for a few days was already a lesson. After that, at most they would be fined and criticized a few times, and the matter would be over.
But now they are openly picking up bricks and want to kill people. These are two completely different things!
Attempted murder is also a serious crime!
"You must be fully aware of what you've done. It's one thing for you to push each other around and refuse to take responsibility, but you're actually trying to kill someone, right in front of us!"
Cheng Zhuoyue's voice was as loud as a bell. After questioning a few questions, he simply detained them all. Chen Wantang came over reluctantly at this moment. Her face was pale and she was unwilling to take responsibility, but since things had been pushed to this point, she had to come over.
"Comrade, I am also a complete victim. At the beginning... I didn't think about hurting others. To me, I am not familiar with them at all. They are all strangers!" Shen Wantang gritted his teeth and explained loudly, with a strong panic in the depths of his black eyes.
She doesn't want to end up in jail.
Those people were taken away for investigation before, and she was lucky enough to stay here to recuperate because of her gender. However, if it goes on like this, the situation will definitely be bad for her.
"I don't actually remember much about what happened that night. It's all their fault. Whatever happened is their fault. Just look for them!"
Chen Wantang pushed all the responsibility onto others without hesitation, with naked panic in his dark eyes. This attitude of explanation made people feel that there were many problems.
"You dare to do it but not to admit it. You really have never changed." Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but sigh, and he also admired Chen Wantang a little. No matter what, turning all the environments into ones that are beneficial to oneself is also a skill.
After being ruined by Chen Zhu, Chen Wantang closed his eyes tightly and shouted, "I just don't know anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel so bad all the time. I have no grudges against anyone. There's no need to hurt them!"
"Also, no matter who is ultimately responsible for this matter, I am willing to help apply for a lighter punishment. This shows my sincerity!"
Having said that, Shen Wantang glanced cautiously at Niu Chenggong and the others. As long as he could get her forgiveness, even if things became worse again, there would be a chance to let them go in the end.
Therefore, if these men want to lightly cover up this matter, they have to overturn the truth that Cheng Zhuoyue himself recognizes, and not regard this matter as a waste of police resources, but as a hooliganism crime that is not worth mentioning.
At worst, the worst outcome is marrying Chen Wantang!
"Yes, Jia Yun, you just love to mess things up. We've already tried to dissuade you, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you've done this, don't you have any thoughts of reflection?"
Niu Chenggong glanced at Dong Wencai next to him, gritted his teeth, and made a quick decision.
He and Dong Wencai had always had a good understanding of each other, and now they were good friends. At least they were not like Jia Yun, who had fought with each other several times and the gap between them was difficult to fill.
"We wanted to help you out of kindness, but you ended up throwing mud at us and trying to drag us down. It's a waste of our sincerity in treating you as a brother." Dong Wencai patted Jia Yun twice and moved closer to him.
"From now on, your parents will be our parents! I promise you!"
