Chapter 1873 They've come to clarify the truth.
Lu Sanzhu didn't give him a chance at all. He said to the crowd, "I think everyone is very curious about the inside story. So I will tell you all about it properly, so that others will not think that the fault lies with my aunt."
Chen Bing raised his head, his eyes red, and said, "No, I can't say."
He grabbed Pan's hand and tried to stand up, but Lu Sanzhu had deliberately ground his legs hard several times, and he felt excruciating pain whenever he moved.
Unable to stop them himself, he desperately tugged at Pan's sleeve and said to Pan's brother-in-law, "Brother, drive them out, drive them out."
Pan the eldest had a grim expression. Although he knew the other party was causing trouble for Chen Bing, Chen Bing was his son-in-law, so it was a family matter and should be resolved behind closed doors. How could they talk about it in front of the neighbors? Would the Pan family ever be able to face anyone again?
He knew these people weren't from Changjin Prefecture. Chen Bing had fled here to escape disaster, and his first wife was from the same place as him—Dong'an Prefecture. So these people must have come from Dong'an Prefecture as well. They'd make a scene here, then leave, but the Pan family would still be living here.
Therefore, he stepped forward, intending to interrupt Lu Sanzhu, "Gentlemen, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. Why don't we go inside and talk it out? This is, after all, the Pan family home, and you gentlemen have come from afar..."
Before he could finish speaking, Da Bao interrupted, "So what if we've come from afar? Dad, I can tell. Is he trying to say that we're not locals and should be careful if we cause trouble on their turf, or he'll retaliate?"
Lu Sanzhu nodded, glanced at Pan Laoda, and solemnly lectured his son, "You used the wrong word. We're not here to cause trouble, we're here to reason with you. We're here to clarify things for your great-aunt. Since it's a clarification, it has to be done in front of everyone, otherwise, after we leave, who knows what they'll say about your great-aunt."
After he finished speaking, regardless of how ugly Pan Laoda's expression was, he turned to the onlookers and continued, "This is what happened. Back then, our hometown was flooded. My aunt and Chen Bing had just gotten married, and they fled the disaster together to Changjin Prefecture. On the way, they got separated from my parents and maternal grandparents. After arriving here, my aunt..."
Pan, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "You guys are going too far! Men, stop him! Stop him!"
But it was no use. Yuan Gui blocked the Pan family sons who wanted to rush forward and said to them, "What, do you want to get beaten up again?"
Pan's son, recalling the blows he had just received, hesitated for a moment, feeling utterly overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Lu Sanzhu recounted the entire story quickly, fluently, and with added embellishments.
Everyone gasped in surprise, and their gazes toward Chen Bing changed.
It's hard to believe that Chen Bing has been so attentive and considerate to his father-in-law these days, looking so haggard. I never imagined he was such a ruthless, ungrateful, and despicable person. This kind of person is truly terrifying.
Feeling the gazes directed at him, Chen Bing felt like he was being pricked by thorns. He immediately retorted, "They're lying. They're just unwilling to accept that I divorced Fang Caixia, so they're deliberately trying to smear me and ruin my reputation. Don't believe them; these are all baseless rumors."
