"...It seems you all care a lot about carrying on the family line. I wonder if my nephews will be able to fulfill your wishes and continue the family line. Do you think they might all suddenly become eunuchs overnight?"
"What...what are you going to do?" When Chu Nian's gaze swept over the chubby boy, Chen Ersao, who had just been slapped, was terrified and quickly pulled the chubby boy behind her.
Chu Nian continued to laugh sinisterly, saying, "Tell me, if the whole village knew that all the boys in the Chen family had become eunuchs, what would they say? Would they say that the Chen family was being punished for their many sins?"
"Niannian, what's wrong with you? Have you gone crazy?" Chen's mother felt that Chen Nian was very different from before. How could her honest and obedient daughter, who was used to being manipulated by her, become like this? She asked in a trembling voice.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Nian nodded and laughed, "That's right, I'm crazy, you know? I heard that crazy people don't have to bear legal responsibility for killing, so I'm crazy."
Chen Erge was helped up by Chen Ersao and said, "She's not crazy. She's just having a good time here and has forgotten her roots. She doesn't want to acknowledge us anymore."
Chu Nian, however, adopted the honest and simple demeanor of Brother Chen and said, "No way, I'm really crazy. It's not illegal for a madman to kill someone, so it's even less illegal to castrate a few people."
Everyone present turned pale upon hearing this. They didn't have much legal knowledge, and they had indeed heard before that madmen could kill without paying with their lives, so they believed Chu Nian's words.
Chu Nian suddenly turned to Chen Sidi and said, "By the way, Sidi, are you still not married? I heard from Mom a few months ago that you were dating someone!"
Chen Sidi was so frightened that his legs tightened, and tears and snot streamed down his face. He quickly said, "Third...Third Sister, they forced me to come. I told them not to come before I came, but they wouldn't listen to me!"
Chen's mother said fiercely, "Fourth brother, what are you afraid of her for? Don't be afraid, she's just bluffing. I don't believe she would really dare to do anything to you brothers!"
"Okay, let's try it now if you don't believe me." Chu Nian said, reaching out to remove a U-shaped hair clip that was holding her hair up.
She raised the hair clip and stabbed it at Chen Sidi.
Chen Sidi was so frightened that he hid.
Chen's mother roared, "Fourth son, you useless thing! What can a broken clip do to you? Why are you hiding? Just snatch it!" As she spoke, she rushed forward to grab it.
Unexpectedly, Chu Nian dodged it with a quick movement, and the clip just happened to poke Chen Si Di's neck.
Chen Sidi felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a complete numbness throughout his body, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. He was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat that quickly soaked his clothes. His face was deathly pale as he tried to get up, but his body was numb and he couldn't move at all.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Chu Nian said, "Fourth brother, this is not my fault. Blame your mother who doesn't believe in superstitions. But don't worry, this is just a clip, it didn't actually pierce your acupoints, so you'll only be paralyzed for a few hours. But if it were real acupuncture, you would be paralyzed for much more than just a few hours."
After saying that, she turned and walked away triumphantly, saying leisurely as she went, "I hope this is the last time we meet. I will send money back on time from now on, but you are not allowed to come to the city to see me again, otherwise what Fourth Brother is like now will be your fate."
She suddenly stopped her steady, measured pace, startling Chen's father and the others, who all shuddered. Chu Nian turned and gave them a playful smile, saying, "Don't forget I'm crazy!"
Chu Nian returned to the villa, and outside came the sound of Chen's mother wailing and shouting. Although there was a considerable distance between the different villas to ensure the absolute privacy of each resident, her voice was so loud that many residents in the villas peeked out to look.
In such upscale residential areas, security guards always stand at the entrance to the villa area; not just anyone can enter. Chu Nian figured that for the Chen family of over ten people to appear at her villa's entrance, her neighbors must have put in a lot of effort.
So, before entering the hall, she glanced at her neighbor's villa. To be honest, with the green belt blocking the view, she couldn't really see anything.
However, Tian Jun, who was observing the situation outside through the door camera in the hall, felt that the woman's ghostly gaze was really falling on him, making him break out in a cold sweat.
To be honest, if Tang Zhi hadn't told him that the Chen family would be coming to see Chu Nian today, he wouldn't have come here at all. He hadn't stayed at this villa for a while.
So now, should he leave, or should he leave?
Chu Nian originally wanted to call the security office to have the Chen family kicked out and warn them not to let just anyone into the community. However, before she could make the call, a group of security guards rushed over and chased the Chen family away.
Chu Nian checked the call log next door and found that the person next door had just called the security room.
She snorted softly. Even if Tian Jun wanted to make amends, she couldn't easily forgive him for deliberately causing her trouble: and it wasn't just this one time!
Not long after, Tian Jun received news that Chu Nian had collaborated with his rival company to develop a technology. He was so angry that his liver hurt, and he rushed to find Chu Nian.
Chu Nian and he reached a reconciliation.
Tian Jun invested in Chenjia Village, where Chen Nian lived, in Chen Nian's name, including building roads, reclaiming wasteland, building agritainment facilities, and establishing agricultural production bases.
The economic situation in Chenjia Village quickly improved.
The name Chen Nian became a frequent topic of conversation among the villagers.
Meanwhile, the Chen brothers, who were lazy and only knew how to spend money on girls, were ridiculed and despised by the villagers.
Then there's Tang Zhi and his relatives. Tang Zhi also runs a company in the city, so why didn't he give back to his hometown like Chen Nian? The Tang family only moved to Chenjia Village during their great-grandfather's generation. Although they have been living in Chenjia Village for nearly a hundred years, they are still considered outsiders. Now, it is even more evident that they are outsiders and not of the same mind as the people of Chenjia Village.
Both Chen Nian's and Tang's families were ostracized by the villagers.
When Tang Zhi returned home, he was cornered in his own yard by a group of relatives from the Tang family. They demanded that he provide money to repair roads and bridges, and also take responsibility for improving the housing in the village: the implication being that he should help the villagers build small Western-style houses like the Chen family's.
Tang Zhi was extremely depressed.
He worked hard in the city to get his family into a Western-style house, and that wasn't enough; he also had to take care of the whole village? Where did he find the spare money and time?
他的公司现在想要继续开下来本来就很难，以前好多的合作伙伴不知怎么突然都跟他终止了合同。
