Zhou Jiaxing guessed wrong this time. The villagers in Zhoujia Village became suspicious of Zhou Chunping and his son because of the strange incident that morning.
These days, Zhou Chunping didn't dare go out, for fear of being laughed at.
Wu Jinfeng returned home that day, collected a stack of money from Zhou Chunping's box, and went to the county town with Zhou Zhimei, saying that they wanted to relax.
Zhou Chunping didn't dare stop Wu Jinfeng. Zhou Zhimei had been staying at her parents' house for too long. If she stayed any longer, the Wang family might not want her anymore. After all, Wang Xiaoqiang's mother was no pushover. With Wu Jinfeng by her side, she could speak freely about things her daughter couldn't.
The news that Zhou Chunping mistakenly identified Zhou Daniu as his "son" spread throughout Zhoujia Village within the morning.
The villagers of Zhoujia Village were laughing to death. They didn't expect that Zhou Chunping, who was so smart all his life, would make such a big mistake when he was old.
Most of the villagers were just watching the fun. A few of the more intelligent ones, including Zhou Erleng, were secretly wondering: Why did Zhang Zhiqiang call "Third Brother" before even entering the room? Could Zhang Zhiqiang see through things? Otherwise, how could he be so sure that the man in Liu Moli's room was Zhou Zhixin?
And there's more! Elderly couple Zhou Chunping and Wu Jinfeng asked everyone to be tolerant of their youngest son before they even entered Widow He's house. How did they know the adulterer inside was Zhou Zhixin? The details of this are truly terrifying!
Zhou Daniu, who knew a little bit of the inside story, certainly didn't dare to make a fuss. Even if he didn't consider his new beautiful bride, Wen Ziqing's deadly behavior that night was enough to make Zhou Daniu keep his mouth shut.
This guy! You should be content. People who are not content usually don't live long. When Zhou Daniu wakes up in the middle of the night, he often thinks of what Wen Ziqing said to him.
The old village chief Zhou Dazhu also went to Zhou Chunping's home to visit because of this misunderstanding. Zhou Dazhu didn't care about Zhou Chunping's face and said insinuations that Zhou Chunping was "old and blurry-eyed" and "useless".
A few days ago, Zhou Dazhu went to Zhou Chunping to discuss Liu Moli's matter, but Zhou Chunping kept making excuses, which made Zhou Dazhu very unhappy.
Seeing that Zhou Dazhu had successfully rid his son of Liu Moli's burden without Zhou Chunping's intervention, he felt quite pleased with himself. It seemed that the heavens were on his son Hongming's side, allowing Liu Moli to be saddled with Zhou Daniu's rubbish.
Zhou Chunping lowered his head and let Zhou Dazhu scold him. At this moment, Zhou Chunping was not worried about Zhou Dazhu, but worried that he would not be able to explain himself to the noble man. The money was taken, the guarantee was made, but the situation was beyond their control.
Zhou Zhixin disappeared that night. Zhou Chunping, his father, and his two sons searched the entire Zhoujia Village but couldn't find any trace of him. What could have happened to him?
Zhou Chunping was very annoyed. He knew that he had messed up Zhou Zhixin's plan. Even if Zhou Zhixin hadn't died, he would never listen to him again. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to plot against Zhou Zhixin again.
Zhou Chunping was truly curious about where Zhou Zhixin had gone. Was he dead or alive? He had clearly watched Zhou Zhixin eat the bowl of drugged noodles, and he had clearly watched him die.
Early in the morning, Zhou Zhigang and Zhang Zhiqiang were sent to Zhaojiagou by Zhou Chunping. Apart from Zhoujia Village, Zhou Zhixin had only his father-in-law's home in Zhaojiagou to stay.
Sometimes things are just so strange, what you fear will come true. Zhou Chunping was always worried that a noble person would come to settle accounts with him, but then an unexpected guest arrived at his home.
As the middle-aged man walked along, he heard the villagers gossiping about Zhou Chunping's family, which made him so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Waste! The whole family is waste!" The middle-aged man cursed rudely as soon as he entered the door.
The middle-aged man was almost pissed off at Zhou Chunping. Because of Zhou Zhixin's matter, he had been staying in Sanhe Town these days, ready to help Zhou Chunping with advice at any time.
The middle-aged man had come up with the idea for Zhou Chunping: to lure Zhou Zhixin to Widow He's house and kill him, then create the illusion of an affair. And what about Zhou Chunping? His whole family was as dumb as pigs, squandering such a good opportunity.
The middle-aged man had gone to Qingshan City for medical treatment two days earlier. Upon his return, he immediately went to Zhoujia Village to hear the good news about Zhou Chunping. But what happened? No good news, only embarrassing stories about Zhou Chunping's family, which left him furious.
"I..." Zhou Chunping lowered his head, wanting to defend himself, but he was afraid the middle-aged man would say something bad about him in front of the noble. Zhou Chunping had seen the middle-aged man and the noble getting along that day. In front of the noble, the middle-aged man still had a lot of face.
The middle-aged man became more and more angry as he thought about it. He raised his left hand and slapped Zhou Chunping hard in the face with a "slap". The middle-aged man understood how much the young master wanted Zhou Zhixin dead. If he hadn't been afraid that the old man would get suspicious, the young master would have done it himself.
Now, all their efforts over the past few days have been in vain. The middle-aged man could imagine the wrath of the young master he would face.
"Why did you hit my grandfather?" Zhou Jiaxing just entered the house and saw Zhou Chunping being beaten. He couldn't help but get anxious and rushed to the middle-aged man.
This was the first time Zhou Jiaxing had met this stranger. However, Zhou Jiaxing had been a thug in town for a while, and in his opinion, bullying his own family on his own land was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Haha... Zhou Chunping, your kid is quite manly! But I don't like him." The middle-aged man sneered and said.
"Jiaxing, go away." Zhou Chunping yelled at Zhou Jiaxing, pretending not to notice Zhou Jiaxing's aggrieved face. He said to the middle-aged man, "Brother, the child is ignorant. Please don't be offended."
"Don't try to make random connections. Who is your elder brother? If the young master didn't want to use you, who would I recognize you as?" The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Chunping and said coldly.
"I..." Zhou Chunping hated secretly.
When the middle-aged man came to Zhoujia Village to find Zhou Chunping for the first time, he was very humble. Not only did he offer cigarettes, he was also very respectful to Zhou Chunping.
It had only been a few weeks, and the middle-aged man had suddenly changed his expression, which made Zhou Chunping very uncomfortable for a while.
"The child is ignorant and needs to be taught a lesson." The middle-aged man had a blank expression on his face, but his words startled Zhou Chunping.
Zhou Chunping hesitated. Zhou Chunping still valued Zhou Jiaxing, his eldest son and grandson, very much. Moreover, Jiaxing had done nothing wrong just now. He had said that to protect Zhou Chunping!
Seeing Zhou Chunping ignored him, the middle-aged man waved his hand and ran away. Anyway, it was only a matter of time before he would deal with Zhou Chunping, so there was no need for him to sulk.
