However, after Zhuang Qiang dragged Chen Guihua back home in public, Chen Guihua sat down on the bed, her eyes dull, staring blankly at the ground, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Zhuang Qiang paced back and forth in the room, his face anxious. Zhaodi and Laidi had gone to visit relatives for the New Year and had been staying there the past few days, not returning. So, Zhuang Qiang and Chen Guihua were the only ones at home.
"Oh! Stop turning, it gives me a headache!" Chen Guihua finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Zhuang Qiang.
Zhuang Qiang walked angrily to Chen Guihua, staring at her with his big eyes, pointing a finger at her, and wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
Chen Guihua was panicking. She knew she hadn't used much strength at the time. However, Liu Ruonan had indeed fallen, and so many people were watching! Even if Liu Ruonan was truly safe and sound, there were still so many witnesses present to blame her.
The villagers didn't interact with Chen Guihua much, and she was aware of this. Although Chen Guihua usually looked powerful, she would be afraid when something really happened.
She was afraid of being entangled in lawsuits and going to jail.
Zhuang Qiang slumped down on a chair, his head bowed, sulking, but he didn't dare say anything. Perhaps it was because he had been bullied by Chen Guihua for so many years that it had become a habit.
Chen Guihua looked at Zhuang Qiang with grievance and asked cautiously, "Zhuang Sheng is a soldier and he knows some leaders and mayors. If Liu Ruonan is determined to sue me this time, will I be sued?"
"You are a woman, and they say that you have long hair but little knowledge. I think it is absolutely true." Zhuang Sheng could only shake his head helplessly. To be honest, he didn't know what would happen in the future.
Everyone knows that Liu Ruonan is doing very well in the city now. She is doing big business now. She must know many important people in the provincial capital!
At that time, the chief and the mayor came in person to comfort Zhuang Sheng, and everyone in the village knew about it.
In fact, Zhuang Qiang regretted his decision at that time. He originally thought that Zhuang Sheng was just a small soldier in the army all these years, but he didn't expect his identity to be quite special. If he was not a powerful officer, he would not have been able to alarm the commander and the mayor.
It seems that Zhuang Sheng has been hiding things from him all these years. Maybe he has been on guard against him for a long time.
Oh! It's all this woman's fault! If she hadn't been so short-sighted, at least this wouldn't have happened. Maybe Zhuang Sheng would still send money home on time every month.
Apart from anything else, the money saved every month will be a considerable sum by the time my younger brother grows up and looks for a wife.
Hey! Now that it has happened, what's the point of saying all this? When he went to Chen Jianmin's house, the reason why he treated Liu Ruonan like that was because he felt that even if he really recognized this relationship again in the future, he couldn't let Liu Ruonan be too arrogant and suppress him as a father.
However, he didn't expect that Chen Guihua's wife, Dandan, would go crazy because of him. That's how it was ruined. Now, things have reached a point where they can't be rectified, right?
"What's the use of saying this now! Please help me think of a solution quickly! Zhaodi and Laidi are still so young, I don't want to go to jail!" Chen Guihua said, and for a moment she couldn't help sobbing.
Human psychology is like this: when impulsive, they completely disregard the consequences. However, when they calm down and think carefully about the consequences, they become more and more afraid, and the more afraid they are, the more serious the situation seems.
"What can I do? After causing such a mess, it's obvious that Liu Ruonan is not a pushover. Now that she has the chance, she's definitely going to vent her anger!"
Zhuang Qiang took his pipe, lit it, and smoked it slowly. He was just an old farmer, and there was really nothing he could do. As the saying goes, the arm cannot twist the thigh. In the past, he thought he was the thigh, and as long as he could get away from the crippled Zhuang Sheng, his good days would come.
But he didn't expect that Zhuang Sheng was actually the big shot, and he really lost his golden rice bowl!
"You only know how to say sarcastic words. When I go to jail, you will find a stepmother for my children. How will my two children live?" As Chen Guihua spoke, she burst into tears.
"Do you know now that stepmothers are bad? Your child is a child, but other people's children are not children? Why didn't you show any mercy to Zhuang Sheng back then? If not, what happened today wouldn't have happened!"
Thinking of this, how could Zhuang Qiang not feel resentful? Losing a good golden rice bowl was like losing the support of his life.
How much effort must he put in to save enough money to build a house for Lai Di! A true farmer, he spends all day in the fields, tinkering with the crops. Even if he works so hard, how much money can he earn?
Chen Guihua's anger boiled over when she heard Zhuang Qiang say this. She picked up the pillow from the bedside and threw it at Zhuang Qiang. Luckily, the pillow wasn't heavy, so it didn't hurt much. But Zhuang Qiang was completely unprepared, and he was smoking a cigarette! The burning cigarette fell onto his arm, burning him so much that he jumped up from his chair.
"You want to burn me to death!"
"You're blaming me now? Didn't you agree to it back then? If you hadn't, how could you have kicked Zhuang Sheng out? Now that he's doing well, you regret it and are pushing all the blame onto me, while you're clearing yourself of any responsibility.
Now that things have already happened, do you still expect Zhuang Sheng to take care of you in your old age? Don't forget, it was you who wanted to sign the agreement with Zhuang Sheng. Zhuang Sheng clearly stated that it was no longer his responsibility to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
Chen Guihua cried and screamed at the same time. She had never expected that after the truth was revealed, Zhuang Qiang not only did not take the responsibility like a man, but instead blamed her.
For a moment, Chen Guihua felt that the man she married was really cowardly.
But what good is it to be a coward? There's no way to change it.
"I'm just saying this out of necessity. What can we do now? The best we can do is deny it even if we are beaten to death." Seeing Chen Guihua getting angry, Zhuang Qiang didn't dare to say anything more. He sat back in the chair, relit his pipe, and said helplessly.
"Will it be of any use if I deny it even if I am beaten to death? There are so many people guarding us!" Chen Guihua said angrily, wiping her nose and tears.
"Then I'll just have to act like a father. I don't believe Zhuang Sheng is so heartless as to drag his own father into court."
Now, I'm afraid there is no other way. The best way is to play rogue. What's more, things may not be so bad. Maybe Zhuang Sheng can control Liu Ruonan and suppress this matter?
