"Yeah, right!"
Lu Huaijiao added what Gu Changzheng hadn't finished saying.
Gu Changzheng: ...
The little troublemaker's mind is intermittently good one moment and bad the next.
At this point, it's time to play dumb. Why is she so insightful?
While Gu Changzheng was thinking about how to explain, Lu Huaijiao stood on tiptoe and peeked into the crowd. All she could see was a dirty blanket and a foot sticking out.
She scoffed and withdrew her interested gaze.
He nudged Gu Changzheng's arm.
"What happened? Is he/she dead?"
What did those sparkling eyes and that expectant tone mean?
Gu Changzheng: ? ? ? ?
Why can't he keep up with Lu Huaijiao's train of thought?
Before Gu Changzheng could answer, Gu Jianhua, who had already gone to arrange work, was called back from the field.
Before he could even speak, Wang Chunhua wailed even louder.
"Captain, you have to stand up for me! Your son beat my son like this last night, you have to give us an explanation!"
Wang Chunhua is fat and has a loud voice.
When she spoke, saliva flew everywhere, and those who were close to her felt as if a light drizzle was falling from the sky.
The worst part is that the saliva also smells fishy and foul...
Everyone instinctively took a big step back, leaving the 'battlefield' to Wang Chunhua and her son, as well as Gu Jianhua who was standing in front of the crowd.
Gu Jianhua ignored Wang Chunhua's wailing and glanced at Wang Laizi lying on the blanket.
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Changzheng, the son of the brigade leader whom Wang Chunhua had not called out, walked in casually with his hands in his pockets.
When everyone saw the person in question arrive, they quickly made way for him.
Gu Changzheng's thin lips curved into a slight smile.
He walked up to Wang Laizi and nudged Wang Laizi's shin with his toe.
He asked with a smile in his voice and with great sincerity.
"Wang Laizi, did I hit you? Why don't you tell me, why would I hit you for no reason?"
Wang Laizi, who was lying in the blanket and almost asleep, instinctively flinched when he heard this nightmarish voice.
"Gu Changzheng, don't take advantage of my son's honesty to bully him..."
Wang Chunhua shouted from the side.
Gu Changzheng clicked his tongue against his back teeth.
"Wang Laizi is honest? Honest enough to sleep with a widow the same age as your mother? Wang Laizi, is this all the honesty you've ever seen?"
The tall man lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
Although he was smiling, his smile didn't make anyone feel relaxed.
On the contrary, there was a chilling feeling.
Wang Laizi was extremely bitter.
After hearing Gu Changzheng's words, everyone burst into laughter.
"Yes, Wang Chunhua, you say your son is honest, but would an honest man go and sleep with an old widow?"
"That withered old widow probably doesn't taste as good as you!"
Some men made very lewd jokes.
Wang Chunhua was so angry with them that she forgot all about crying and stood up, hands on her hips, and started cursing at the people who were joking around.
But the more she cursed, the happier the people who cheered became.
Gu Jianhua, with a stern face, saw that they were getting increasingly out of control, so he coughed to interrupt the noisy people.
"Alright, everyone stop."
When the captain spoke, the weight of his words was absolutely substantial.
The noisy crowd fell silent in an instant.
Gu Changzheng still had an unintentional smile on his face.
Gu Jianhua glanced at Gu Changzheng and asked Wang Laizi, who still had his eyes closed.
“Wang Laizi, your mother said you were beaten up, is that true? Did you see who hit you? Don’t worry, if anyone dares to fight in the village, speak up boldly, and I will stand up for you.”
Gu Jianhua's tone was very serious.
The captain exuded an imposing aura.
After Gu Jianhua finished speaking, Gu Changzheng added with a smile, "Yes, you'd better explain clearly who hit you."
"Think it through before you speak."
Gu Jianhua: ...
This brat is making such an obvious threat, how can others not understand?
But you know what, other people really couldn't tell.
Who could blame them when Gu Yanwang had such a sincere and genuine smile on his face? His smile was incredibly deceptive, and even some middle-aged women were fooled by it.
Gu Laosi is such a handsome man!
(Wang Laizi: ?? Isn't this the wrong focus?)
First, Gu Jianhua righteously and sternly offered to uphold justice for Wang Laizi, and then Gu Changzheng, this "enthusiastic citizen," also wanted to help him vent his anger. Logically speaking, this should be a very happy thing.
But would Wang Laizi dare to be happy?
I dare not.
Does he dare to reveal who the real person who hit him was?
I wouldn't dare.
So, under Gu Jianhua's very kind questioning and Gu Changzheng's very 'friendly' gaze, Wang Laizi shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No, I wasn't hit, I fell down on my own."
"???"
Did you fall down yourself? To fall down and end up with a bruised and swollen face, that really takes some skill.
Not only did others doubt Wang Laizi's words, but even Wang Chunhua firmly refused to believe them.
"My son, my darling, don't be afraid, speak up! Who beat you like this?"
"I already told you I fell by myself, but you just won't believe me. You carried me here trying to extort money from me. What exactly are you trying to do, Mother?" Wang Laizi said impatiently.
