Ever since the incident involving Chu Linghua became a big deal, Zhang Fengying couldn't sleep.
She suffers from insomnia every night, and tonight is no exception.
A man sat in the living room sighing and crying.
Chu Mingfeng couldn't sleep either, so he went downstairs to drink some water. He sighed and sat down across from his mother, "Mom, what are you doing? We've already resolved Linghua's issue pretty well. It's Mayor Zhou, and we don't dare offend him too harshly."
"Linghua was beaten like that, and not only did the Zhou family refuse to compensate for the medical expenses, they also asked us to return the betrothal gifts. Why? And the Song family has been liquidating the assets and took away all your money. Now you are just going to keep silent? Huixian's career is even more ruined. Tell me, what do you want?" Zhang Fengying felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and wiped the floor with tissues.
"Why did Xiaoyu transfer out of such a good school? He's a genius, and even you, as a father, couldn't protect him."
"Xiao Mi is a child prodigy. She can speak after only a few months. As a father, you must nurture her well."
"The Song family just has some dirty money, what's so great about it?"
"Don't worry, you and Dad will be fine, and neither will my children. The transfer is only temporary, and the school Xiaoyu is attending now is not bad. I've already informed the principal, and Xiaoyu won't be wronged."
Chu Mingfeng didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong to Song Yaqing and the children.
"However, some of the industries and things that our relatives have invested in will be affected. With the Song family withdrawing this time, our relatives will definitely vent their anger on us. Mom, you and Dad should be mentally prepared."
After Chu Mingfeng finished speaking, he went upstairs.
Things escalated quickly, Chu Mingfeng was right.
In the past, many people came to invest for the sake of the Song family's reputation. However, when they heard that Song Yaqing and Chu Mingfeng were going through the divorce process, they immediately began to cut ties and withdraw their investments, and no longer wanted to have any connection with the Chu family.
Early in the morning, the Chu family's new residence was surrounded by the Chu family's poor relatives. Those who didn't know thought they were holding some grand family gathering.
Chu Mingfeng stood on the second floor and saw the village chief at a glance.
When he went to college, his family had no money, and the village chief mobilized the entire village to donate tuition for him.
It has been more than 20 years since then, and the village chief is already in his sixties.
Chu Xinggui, Chu's father, has always been a bystander, but when he saw so many fellow villagers and relatives coming, he became nervous.
"Mingfeng, please resolve this matter as soon as possible. They're always asking for money. If they want money, just give it to them. You're being laughed at by the neighbors sitting here. It would be so embarrassing if someone called the police."
Chu Mingfeng frowned. It was almost 10 o'clock and he hadn't gone to the company yet.
Because of his divorce and the changes with the Zhou family, the company's situation is somewhat unstable.
It was obvious that the Song family wanted him to leave with nothing. Wasn't it his contribution that contributed to the company's current success?
"Since I started my business, I brought the whole village out. Now that they are in trouble, they come to my house to make trouble and ask for money. I have no money and I can't give you a penny. Haven't they taken enough from us over the years?" Chu Mingfeng had no money to give, and he would not give it even if he had money.
Chu Xinggui sighed, "They're just making a fuss like this, and you don't care?"
"Never mind. They will leave on their own when they are hungry. If they have the guts, they can just keep making trouble here. Let's see how long they can last. Dad, go watch TV, listen to the radio and have a rest." Chu Mingfeng was determined not to care.
Father Chu sighed and went out.
The shouting and cursing outside grew louder and louder.
"Chu Mingfeng, you really have no conscience."
"Everything you have now was donated by the whole village, one egg and one cabbage at a time."
"That's right, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be able to go to college."
"If you don't go to college, can you marry the rich and beautiful daughter of the Song family?"
"If it weren't for the Song family, would you have your current social status?"
"We already know that you have a mistress and an illegitimate child."
"It is because of your moral degradation and corrupt character that the Song family gave up on you, forcing us to pay you back or withdraw our investment."
"Yes, it's all your fault!"
The old village chief rushed into the living room and said, "Mingfeng, where are you? Come out quickly. Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home."
"Mingfeng, if you still have any conscience and care about us old guys, then ask Yaqing to forgive you, and ask the Song family to forgive you. You can't be so stubborn."
Zhang Fengying was the first to burst out, unable to contain herself. She demanded, "Village Chief, how could you do this? Mingfeng has done so much to you over the years. How could you lead a riot?"
"How many things has he done? I remember that it was all done by your daughter from the Song family. Building roads in the village and helping young people find jobs were all done by the Song family. Your son didn't do anything."
"You...how can you talk like that?" Zhang Fengying was really furious.
