Chapter 224: The sequel to the sharing of the melon
In the quiet night, the sound of kowtows startled Xin Yuzhen's three-year-old child, who started crying wildly.
The neighbors who heard the noise all looked out and saw this scene, and they started talking about it.
"Chairman Zheng, please, help our family," Xin Yuzhen begged, kowtowed, and cried, "Please help us kick my aunt and her family out of our house. I beg you."
Twenty years ago, Zheng Zhiyuan would have helped Xin Yuzhen, but now he is only concerned with revenge and Xiaorou, and has long given up the desire to help others. Seeing that he could not help Xin Yuzhen, he pulled Ye Rou back two steps, frowned and stopped talking.
Without anyone to help her, Xin Yuzhen's movements became increasingly slow. Finally, she tilted her head back and looked at Zheng Zhiyuan blankly, saying helplessly, "Chairman Zheng."
She stopped, but her two daughters continued to kowtow mechanically, over and over again.
The two girls' foreheads were bruised from the collision, but they seemed to be unaware of the pain.
Ye Rou felt uncomfortable watching this, so she ignored Xin Yuzhen and used her immense strength to lift the two girls up, one on each side.
The two girls were frighteningly thin, so she helped them stand steadily. The older one even had to kneel, so she held her back.
Ye Rou said, "Don't kneel."
The sound was like thunder coming out of nowhere, awakening Hao Shuxiang. She stared at the woman in front of her in a daze. This was the first time someone stopped her from kneeling.
Hao Shuxiang has a kind father who always lends his own food and clothes to other families for free. When she was young, she didn't understand and asked her father, but her father always said that those families were too poor and too difficult.
But it was obvious that her family was also very poor. Because of poverty, she had to be sensible. Because of poverty, she had to kneel down with her mother since she was a child.
She knelt down to beg her grandmother, her great-grandmother, her uncle, her aunt, her neighbors, her teacher... She always had to kneel down for some food and clothes.
Hao Shuxiang had been kneeling for fifteen years, and this was the first time someone stopped her from kneeling.
But what if I don’t kneel?
My sister-in-law moved into their house because the government was going to demolish the shack they lived in, and they had no place to live.
Hao Shuxiang looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and her knees subconsciously weakened. She begged, "Sister, please help our family."
Ye Rou grabbed her and said coldly, "No one will help others unconditionally. My grandfather has already helped your family get the house back."
"Yes." Hao Shuxiang said anxiously, "My father will help others unconditionally. He is a good man, and you are also good people."
"Good people should always help you?" Ye Rou retorted, "I helped you this time, but what about next time? Who are you going to kneel down and beg for help?"
Hao Shuxiang was stunned. She had always just followed her mother mechanically. Whenever her mother asked her to kneel, she would kneel. She had never thought about the future.
Seeing the girl's eyes flickering slightly, Ye Rou shone with a faint glow. She asked softly, "Think carefully, who is it that has caused such hardship for your family?"
"Who is it?" Hao Shuxiang repeated these two words blankly.
"Yuzhen!" Hao Ren didn't expect that his wife would bring the children to Chairman Zheng's house to cause trouble, so he hurried over.
Hao Shuxiang slowly turned her head, her eyes, which looked particularly dark due to her thin figure, slowly shifted and stared at Hao Ren. She said abruptly, "It's him. It's all because of him."
Because he is a "good man", her family is so miserable.
Ye Rou followed Hao Shuxiang's gaze and looked at Hao Ren. She stood behind Hao Shuxiang and said softly, "You know what? The problem must be solved from the source."
Hao Shuxiang murmured, "That's right, we should solve the problem at the source."
Hao Ren didn't notice his daughter's annoyance. He apologized to Zheng Zhiyuan repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Chairman Zheng, I've caused you trouble."
Zheng Zhiyuan frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on with your house?"
Hao Ren clumsily picked up his son, who had been placed on the ground by his wife. He lowered his head and said in shame, "My sister's family is having a hard time too. My nephew is getting married, and it's not decent for him to still be living in a shack."
He seemed to feel that his behavior was wrong, and hurriedly made amends, "My sister only said that she would stay for a while, and when my nephew got married, her family would move out. She didn't mean to occupy our house. Yuzhen didn't hear me fully and misunderstood."
"Bullshit!" Xin Yuzhen roared angrily, "Your sister is unruly and willful, and has been selfish since she was a child. She will never return the house to our family."
Hao Ren's tone remained steady as he said helplessly, "Yuzhen, why do you always think so badly of people?"
"Do I think badly of people?" Xin Yuzhen couldn't believe it.
She hadn't had a full night's sleep for a long time. After discovering that her nephew intended to bully her daughter, she told Hao Ren about it, but Hao Ren accused her of slander.
Hao Ren didn't believe her, so she could only protect her daughter on her own. She didn't dare sleep at night, holding the rolling pin and keeping her eyes open every night. Even if she fell asleep, the slightest movement would wake her up.
She waited day and night, and finally the house was coming back. She was full of hope that she would live a good life in the future, have a clean, bright and safe home, and be able to give her two daughters a decent and healthy life. But all these ideas were shattered in the blink of an eye.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Xin Yuzhen went completely crazy.
She screamed hysterically and beat Hao Ren madly.
Hao Ren held the child with his back to Xin Yuzhen, without any resistance, as if he was a "good man" who allowed his wife to go crazy and took care of and protected the child.
Compared with him, Xin Yuzhen's hair was messy, the buttons of her clothes were buttoned incorrectly in a hurry, her face was flushed, her forehead was bruised, and she looked more embarrassed and crazy as she raised her voice.
Ye Rou had sharp ears and had heard the neighbors calling Xin Yuzhen a crazy woman and a shrew.
Her face darkened.
Xin Yuzhen is still alive, but in the eyes of others, she is dead because she is socially dead - she is crazy.
Ye Rou witnessed with her own eyes a woman being driven crazy.
Finally, Xin Yuzhen was tired and could not "go crazy" anymore. Hao Ren was rational and calm as he held the child and his wife's hand. He once again sincerely apologized to Chairman Zheng and everyone and calmly left the scene.
The onlookers were full of praise for Hao Ren.
"What a good man."
"You don't mind your wife being so crazy."
"His wife really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessing she has."
Amidst the praises from the onlookers, Hao Ren held his son in his arms, pulled Xin Yuzhen by the hand, and exited the stage in a dignified manner with a gentle and kind smile.
Ye Rou looked at Hao Ren's back with fiery eyes.
She turned to the girl standing beside her and said, "You know what? No matter what you do, he won't be angry, because he is a good person."
"I understand." Hao Shuxiang's eyes were bright. "Sister, thank you."
She pulled her sister to follow her parents and left silently amid the strange looks of the onlookers.
Ye Rou looked at Hao Shuxiang, her back straightened unconsciously, her eyes were no longer dull and dead, the look she gave Hao Ren was more like that of a ferocious beast, with a cold and biting light.
Jiang Chen strolled over to Zheng Zhiyuan, looked at his scheming wife, and said with a slightly boastful tone, "Old man, isn't my wife really cute?"
"..." Zheng Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen, "That's my granddaughter, not yours."
Jiang Chen chuckled, walked forward and took Ye Rou's hand, "Everyone has left, what are you still looking at? Go back to sleep."
Ye Rou blinked her eyes and said, "I want to see the sequel. It will definitely be exciting."
Jiang Chen laughed and kept this matter in mind.
