Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, you're pretty good. But didn't they guess who did it?"
Normally, when something like this happens, everyone would discuss it.
"I don't know about that. I only heard people from the Chen family talking about it. They said that a few old men got together and were guessing who it could be. But according to their thinking, it's most likely to be someone from the Chen family, because it seems that Chen Jinfa's matter is only related to the Chen family."
The idea was correct, but what the Chen family didn't know was that Chen Jinfa had taken over Ye Cheng's boat, and Ye Cheng knew about it.
Chen Jinfa himself couldn't possibly tell anyone, which created a vicious cycle.
As for Ye Cheng, only Xiao Hu and Li the Cripple know; Duan Chunsheng doesn't know.
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng gave Li the Cripple a cold look.
"Crippled man, only heaven, earth, you, me, and Xiao Hu know about this. Xiao Hu would never betray me. If anything happens, I'll definitely come looking for you."
"Don't worry, you are my benefactor. Even if you find me, I will say that I was picked up on the road and that I felt sorry for the Chen family because I saw that they were cheated, so I posted the ad."
Li the Cripple had already planned his escape route, but given his personality, it's normal for him to have one; he's a shrewd person.
"Alright, consider this 1000 yuan as hush money." Ye Cheng took out 1000 yuan.
Actually, Ye Cheng wasn't afraid of being exposed, since Chen Jin was the one who made the mistake first; he just didn't want to cause trouble.
After seeing Li the Cripple off, Ye Cheng carried a box of milk toward the Chen family's house; he needed to check on Chen Jinfa.
After such a crushing defeat, it would be a waste not to check on the results.
"Is anyone home?" Ye Cheng walked up to Chen Jinfa's house and knocked on the door.
Whether you knock or not doesn't really matter much; the door is already shaking from being squeezed so much, just like the one Ye Cheng had before.
"Who is it?" A tired woman's voice came from inside, followed by Chen Jinfa's wife coming out.
She was visibly startled when she saw Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng had little interaction with them, and her relationship with the Chen family was not good. She also seemed to have had several conflicts with her husband.
What is he doing here at this time?
If Ye Cheng hadn't been carrying a carton of milk, she would have thought he was there to cause trouble.
“Auntie, I’ve come to see my blond uncle,” Ye Cheng said first.
"Ah." Chen Jinfa's wife was a little taken aback. They really had come to see someone?
"Um, come in, the blonde is lying in bed and can't get up."
"It's alright, I can handle it myself. Take this carton of milk and give Uncle Jinfa some nutrition." Ye Cheng handed the milk to Chen Jinfa's wife and then went inside.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. Ye Cheng sniffed and looked into the bedroom.
You won't believe it until you see it!
Holy crap!
Is this a person or a rice dumpling?
Chen Jinfa lay on the bed, his entire body covered in bandages, including his head.
Damn, this look almost made Ye Cheng laugh out loud. I'm a bit offended.
I never imagined I'd put you through such a terrible ordeal.
Chen Jinfa was taken aback when he saw Ye Cheng enter, and then said in a hoarse voice,
What brings you here?
"Oh, I heard you stopped fighting, your injuries are quite serious, come and see." Ye Cheng said while lowering his head, not wanting anyone to see him smiling.
"Here, have some water." Chen Jinfa's wife brought in a glass of water, then sighed.
"These guys are ruthless; they beat my blond guy up like this."
"That was a bit too much. I thought we were all family, so I just threw a couple of punches." Ye Cheng said hypocritically.
"What a load of bull! If I hadn't pretended to faint, they would have beaten me to death," Chen Jinfa said angrily.
"These people don't treat me like a human being at all," Chen Jinfa said, his voice tinged with sadness.
"You beat me up like this and still want me to pay back the money, and not a single person came to see me. You're not even as good as your second brother."
Ye Cheng thought to himself, "You've already swindled so much money from them, why would they still care about you?"
Do you think I would have come if I hadn't wanted to see how badly you got beaten up?
It also wasted a carton of milk.
"They probably acted on impulse," Ye Cheng said dryly.
"Didn't the village chief stop them?"
"Him? Heh." Chen Jinfa chuckled coldly twice.
"He'd love to distance himself from me."
Chen Jinfa now dislikes everyone in the Chen family and doesn't reflect on his own problems.
This is excellent; this is exactly the effect Ye Cheng wanted.
"Uncle, although we don't get along, seeing you like this makes my heart ache. They are so heartless."
Ye Cheng looked heartbroken, which made Chen Jinfa feel a little guilty. Had he misunderstood Ye Cheng before? What a good person he was, and he even knew to come and see him.
"Second brother, I'm sorry for what I did to you before. I always went against you. People say that true feelings are revealed in times of crisis. I can see it now. Out of all these people, you're the only one who truly cares about me."
Chen Jinfa's heartfelt expression made Ye Cheng a little embarrassed.
He reached into his pocket and found he had 300 yuan left.
"Uncle, Aunt, here's 300 yuan. Consider it as money to buy some supplements for my uncle."
Although 300 wasn't a lot, Chen Jinfa's wife felt a little embarrassed to accept it and quickly declined.
"How can we accept your money, second brother?"
"Oh, it's just a small token, nothing more," Ye Cheng said, pushing the money over to Chen Jinfa.
"Um, Uncle, please take good care of your injury. I won't bother you anymore."
"Hey, second brother, you're such a good person." Chen Jinfa lay on the bed, unable to hold back his tears.
Fine, fine. But if you knew I tricked you, I wonder if you'd go crazy.
After declining the invitations from the two men, Ye Cheng left Chen Jinfeng's house. Chen Jinfeng's wife saw him off to the door, her gratitude evident in her heartfelt expression.
"Auntie, go back now. Oh, I'll come again when I have time."
Back inside, Chen Jinfeng's wife gave her husband a disapproving look, then said sarcastically,
"Look at you, always fighting with Jin Hai and others. Now that you're in this state, people still come to see you. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"And besides, you're the one who damaged their boat, and we even took money from them. I feel ashamed to accept that."
Chen Jinfa frowned. He had told his wife about getting the boat.
"Okay, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."
"I'm not as stupid as you, telling everyone. I can tell the difference between good and bad people."
After saying that, she didn't want to look at Chen Jinfa anymore and turned around to tidy up the house.
After Ye Cheng left Chen Jinfa's house, it was already past 8 p.m., and the village began to quiet down.
