That's great.
Cheng Shanshan felt like she had found a treasure who could do everything: "Then I won't hold it against you for hitting my head, and don't worry, I'll give you more money."
"How come you can bring up money in everything?"
Huo Mingchen's face darkened again, clearly indicating that he was unhappy once more.
But Cheng Shanshan realized she had said something wrong. Was it not just women who were unfathomable, but rough men as well?
However, with Huo Mingchen's help in making the furniture, she really saved a lot of trouble and time!
Huo Mingchen walked alongside her, glancing at her every now and then.
At this moment, Cheng Shanshan felt an unprecedented sense of ease as she thought about the gradual formation of the shelter and the increase in the stockpiled goods in the space, so much so that her steps became cheerful.
Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the village entrance, Cheng Wan'er, who had been waiting, looked surprised and asked, "Cousin, where have you been?"
Cheng Shanshan's face darkened.
Before she could even speak, Old Man Chu stormed out, yelling, "You just agreed to marry me, and now you dare to have a secret rendezvous with another man!" He then swung the wooden stick he had prepared beforehand, shouting, "Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you unfaithful girl!"
The movement was so sudden that Cheng Shanshan didn't have time to dodge.
Fortunately, Huo Mingchen reacted quickly and pulled her behind him, scolding Old Man Chu: "Who do you think you are? Watch your mouth!"
"You want me to be clean? Let's see if you're clean!" Old Man Chu looked at Huo Mingchen and Cheng Shanshan's tightly clasped hands and angrily raised the stick in his hand high: "Let go of me now!"
Seeing this, Huo Mingchen not only did not let go, but instead tightened his grip on Cheng Shanshan's hand: "If I don't, what will you do?"
"Then I'll beat you two adulterers to death!"
Faced with such provocation, Old Man Chu disregarded his old arms and legs and picked up the wooden stick again.
Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan hurriedly pushed Huo Mingchen, saying, "Brother Huo, I'll explain this to him. You should leave now."
When Huo Mingchen's eyes turned to Old Man Chu, the gentleness from before vanished, replaced by a murderous glint: "Why did you explain to this old geezer?"
Who are you calling a jerk?!
Old Man Chu was so angry he jumped up and down: "What business is it of yours if I'm talking to my wife!"
Huo Mingchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're old enough to be her father, how can you be so shameless!"
"What do you mean by shameless? All I know is that once the contract is signed in black and white, she's already a member of the Chu family. Her body and soul belong to this old man." As he said this, Old Man Chu looked at Huo Mingchen with disdain, then mocked, "You're young and strong, but why can't you find someone else? Why do you have to try and steal someone from an old man like me? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"..."
I've seen some truly despicable people.
I've never seen anything so disgusting.
Cheng Shanshan was already silently rolling up her sleeves, ready to punch someone.
But Huo Mingchen beat her to it and grabbed Old Man Chu by the neck first!
The intense suffocation made Old Man Chu's face turn red. He was terrified by Huo Mingchen's gaze and could only plead with Cheng Shanshan for help: "You... tell him to let me go!"
Cheng Shanshan was also startled and quickly shouted, "Brother Huo, you have a strong grip, you need to be careful to control your strength!"
"rest assured."
Huo Mingchen glanced at her: "He'll still have a breath left."
"..."
What does it mean to pay attention to the amount of force?
What does "leave a breath" mean?
Old Man Chu was practically ready to curse.
Unfortunately, due to the vast difference in strength, he could only be taken away like a chick.
Cheng Shanshan knew Huo Mingchen would know his limits, but she still couldn't help wanting to follow and see. Unexpectedly, Cheng Wan'er grabbed her hand, her eyes full of surprise: "Cousin, judging from the way you two are acting, could it be that you're really together?"
Cheng Shanshan glared at her coldly: "What's it to you?"
Cheng Wan'er's eyes immediately filled with tears: "I know my cousin doesn't like me now, but we are blood relatives after all, and I want to see her happy so that I can have peace of mind!"
Cheng Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly: "Your so-called peace of mind is to push me into the Chu family and marry Old Man Chu?"
"I...I just didn't want to see my cousin suffer." Cheng Wan'er looked at Cheng Shanshan with utmost sincerity, her eyes red and trembling like a little white rabbit. "After all, it's not a long-term solution for you and your aunt to live in that dilapidated house. Although Old Man Chu is old, the Chu family's house is excellent. If you can marry into that family, they will definitely treat you very well. I thought my cousin thought the same way, which is why she agreed. Could it be...I still made a mistake?"
"How could you possibly be wrong?"
Cheng Shanshan raised an eyebrow and then glanced at her: "But since you think marrying him is so good, why don't I help you make your wish come true? I think Old Man Chu would be very willing to marry you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two of us sisters went together?"
Cheng Wan'er stared wide-eyed: "Cousin, are you crazy?"
These words made Cheng Shanshan laugh. She approached step by step, her eyes sharp: "I'm not crazy. I just suddenly remembered that it was your mother who was really tied up and taken to the Chu family. So it's only natural that you marry old man Chu?" She was just worried about how to resolve this matter, and now she had encountered someone who delivered himself to her door.
"No...no!"
Cheng Wan'er felt the cold wind sweeping over her.
At that moment, for some reason, a chill ran through my bones.
So, instinctively she wanted to escape, but before she could act, Cheng Shanshan called out in the direction of Huo Mingchen and Old Man Chu: "Brother Huo, please ask Old Man Chu for me, my sister has taken a liking to him, does he want her?"
"...Who has taken a liking to him?"
Cheng Wan'er stared wide-eyed, desperately trying to explain.
Unfortunately, Huo Mingchen, who was not far away, was beating the old man Chu so badly that he kept shouting, "Cheng Wan'er, come and save me! We're somehow involved, you can't... Waaah, just stand by and watch me die!"
"Shut up!!!"
Cheng Wan'er was so angry that she rushed over and tried to shut Old Man Chu up.
However, as soon as she got close, she was so frightened by a single look from Huo Mingchen that she burst into tears.
The commotion was so great that many people in the village came out to watch. Amidst Old Man Chu's repeated shouts that he wanted to marry Cheng Wan'er, Cheng Wan'er covered her face and ran away.
But the matter caused such a sensation that the whole village knew about it.
Cheng Wan'er is still an unmarried girl, and now an old man is saying that she has an affair with him. The Cheng family is furious, and of course, Lin Sheng is even more upset.
After learning the whole story, Lin Sheng was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table: "How come I never knew Cheng Shanshan was so good at seducing men? She actually made that Huo guy so devoted to her!"
