Chapter 163 Scheming Against Yu Junsheng
Cheng Jiajia returned home carrying the flour, still looking gloomy.
Seeing this, Yu Junsheng teased her, "Oh, who's the fool who made my wife angry? I'll go and scold him until he can't even lift his head!"
Cheng Jiajia thought about it for a moment, but still didn't say anything; she wanted to vent her anger herself.
"It's nothing. If I bump into someone on the street and they bump into me, I'll curse them out."
"That's really inconsiderate. How come this person didn't see my wife, such a beautiful girl, walking down the street?"
Cheng Jiajia chuckled, "It's a good thing you can't do business right now, otherwise you could set up a stall and your business would be booming."
"Really? Honey, do you think I have a talent for business?" Yu Junsheng's eyes lit up instantly.
This road isn't out of the question, is it?
In the dream, Zheng Haiyang started doing business after the reform and opening up and became the richest man in his province.
If he can do it, why can't I?
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Cheng Jiajia was speechless. "I mean, you're just bragging!"
Yu Junsheng persisted, "Wife, I know you just meant to praise me, you were just too shy to say it out loud. I understand, I know what you mean, don't be shy, we're practically an old married couple..." He kept babbling on and on.
Cheng Jiajia's forehead throbbed with pain from hearing this.
She couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the person towards the stove, saying, "Annoying, annoying, annoying! Go away and start the fire, I'm about to start cooking!"
Yu Junsheng was smiling as she pressed him onto the stool and started a fire to burn firewood.
Turning his head, Yu Junsheng's smile faded slightly; his wife hadn't told him the truth.
It wasn't that Cheng Jiajia couldn't have any secrets of her own, but rather that he was afraid she might suffer grievances outside but be unwilling to tell him for some reason, and could only swallow them down.
Yu Junsheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought of Zheng Haiyang, who had returned home shortly after his wife.
Could it be that this bastard said something unpleasant that angered his wife again?
What a scoundrel! Why does he keep trying to get close to his wife?
Don't even mention liking him or being jealous of his wife. That's just fooling around.
They knew perfectly well whether Zheng Haiyang liked men or not, so what did he mean by saying those provocative things to his wife that day?
Could it be... that you're trying to steal her away?
Yu Junsheng sneered inwardly. It seemed that the lesson from last time was not enough, and he still dared to get close to his wife again.
Yu Junsheng was determined to teach this bastard a lesson.
...
"Hey hey hey! Good news! Good news! Great news!"
"The factory has decided to organize an open-air movie screening at the basketball court in a couple of days, and all employees or their families can go to watch!"
Ren Yongsheng, beaming with joy, announced this wonderful news in the courtyard.
These days, people don't have much entertainment. When they heard that the factory was organizing a movie screening, everyone in the yard rushed out in droves.
Watching a movie! And it's free!
Who wouldn't want to go!
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Would I lie about something I said?"
"Yongsheng is a film projectionist; if he says he'll show a movie, he definitely will!"
"That's right, Brother Yongsheng's information is the most accurate!"
"Yongsheng, are you going to show us a movie the day after tomorrow?"
"That's right, it's me, Youwen and Xiao Zhang showing you the movie," Ren Yongsheng said proudly. Seeing everyone surrounding him, asking questions and flattering him, Ren Yongsheng couldn't be more pleased with himself.
He really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"Yongsheng, we live in the same courtyard. Auntie watched you grow up, so you have to save us a seat near the front!" Chang Dafeng shouted loudly. She's shameless enough to argue and fight with Guan Ailian's own mother all the time, yet she still has the nerve to ask her to save a seat for him.
However, Chang Dafeng didn't think anything of it and was quite self-righteous.
Everyone: "..."
Then they chimed in, "That's right, Yongsheng, we're all from the same courtyard, you have to save us seats in the front!"
Who cares if he's shameless or not, let's get the benefits first.
Ren Yongsheng frowned. He didn't like people who lacked tact. Just as he was about to refuse, his mother, Guan Ailian, came up and raised her voice, "Oh dear, Chang Dafeng, how can your awareness be so low? There are only a few seats in the front. What if you take them? What if the shorter people and the children can't see? My Yongsheng is a projectionist. He has the responsibility and obligation to make sure everyone who comes to watch the movie can see clearly."
Finally, he concluded with, "Old Chang, you can't be so selfish!"
Chang Dafeng was speechless after being bullied. In the past, she would have already gone up and fought with Guan Ailian, but the movie was going to be shown in two days, so she didn't dare to argue with Guan Ailian.
What if Ren Yongsheng kicks me out and doesn't let me watch the movie?
Chang Dafeng could only swallow her anger this time, glaring fiercely at Guan Ailian, "You think you're so high-minded? Fine! If you've got the guts, don't sit in the front the day after tomorrow!"
Guan Ailian's eyes flickered a few times, but she remained silent.
"hypocritical!"
Chang Dafeng snorted and went back into the house.
Cheng Jiajia never expected that simply mentioning watching a movie would lead to watching a whole show.
He clicked his tongue twice, "The aunties in our courtyard are so energetic!"
Yu Junsheng's lips twitched. Knowing his wife as he did, he knew it couldn't be anything nice.
Sure enough, his wife continued, "He's still got it all up his sleeve despite fighting every few days, he's in great shape!"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Yu Junsheng quickly covered her mouth, "Grandma, stop talking, there are so many people here!" There are so many middle-aged women outside, people who don't know better will think you're cursing them to die soon.
Cheng Jiajia could only nod, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, just take your hand away." Suddenly remembering something, she said disdainfully, "Did you not wash yourself after using the toilet?"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Cheng Jiajia had never experienced watching an open-air movie before, and she definitely wanted to join in the fun.
"Hey, Yu Junsheng, let's bring some sunflower seeds!" Cheng Jiajia suggested. Watching a movie without some snacks just doesn't feel right; the movie just doesn't taste as good.
Yu Junsheng himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he certainly wouldn't object to his wife's suggestion. He even fawned over her, saying, "Sure! I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative beforehand to buy two bottles of orange soda, so you won't get a sore throat from eating too many sunflower seeds. I'll also bring a saline solution to keep warm in the north wind."
After saying that, he stared expectantly at Cheng Jiajia. "The food's been good lately, hasn't it? As the old saying goes, 'When you're well-fed and warm, you think about...you know...'" Yu Junsheng felt incredibly energetic lately.
He's now focused on pleasing his wife so he can have extra meals.
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Cheng Jiajia glanced at him with amusement, thinking that sometimes this man's fawning attitude was comparable to that of the chief eunuch around Empress Dowager Cixi.
"You can arrange it as you see fit." If you're in a good mood, having an extra meal isn't out of the question.
Aunt Cao, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch either and laughed at Yu Junsheng, "Hey, I'm not saying this to be mean, Junsheng, you really dote on your wife! Look how meticulously you serve her." It's just like being a grand eunuch in the palace. Aunt Cao didn't dare to say this.
"Of course! If I don't love my wife, who will?"
Yu Junsheng held Cheng Jiajia's little hand, raised his chin slightly, and looked very proud.
Aunt Cao: "..."
You're really getting cocky when I say you're fat.
She was speechless after being shut up by the little brat.
And why am I already full before I've even eaten?
Aunt Cao couldn't understand it.
Aunt Cao could only silently keep her distance from the two of them.
Young people are so clingy, huh! Who hasn't been young once?
Zheng Haiyang, standing behind them, overheard the couple's entire conversation, and his heart was filled with a surge of emotions, including jealousy, resentment, and anger.
He looked at Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia's hands clasped together, and his eyes darkened.
Why can these two eat and buy sunflower seeds and soda whenever they want, while my family is so poor that we dare not buy any non-essential items other than those for survival?
They ruined their own reputations, becoming like rats that everyone hates. How can they possibly look so happy?
Watching a movie is indeed a good opportunity.
He sneered, "I'll definitely give you an unforgettable movie!"
...
The next evening, Zheng Haiyang sneaked into the yard from outside. After returning home, he closed all the doors and windows tightly and went to his mother Chang Dafeng's room without turning on the lights.
"Good heavens! Which lecherous scoundrel has barged into my old lady's boudoir?!"
Chang Dafeng, who was just about to fall asleep, was startled.
"Save...save...the ocean?!"
It was only by the moonlight that she could see the figure of her eldest son and swallowed the scream that was about to escape her throat.
"It's really the ocean?!"
She then complained, "Haiyang, what are you doing in my room so late at night instead of sleeping? I thought..."
I thought it was something else, but Chang Dafeng didn't say anything, and she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
I have to say, this old lady is quite vigilant.
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
Honestly, even if he were his biological son, I really can't understand how his mother could be so confident.
Without exaggeration, with that skinny frame, those gray hairs, and that mean old face, what man could possibly be attracted to him?
Even so, his mother always seemed worried that some man would take advantage of her.
He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.
Zheng Haiyang remained silent for a while before taking a few steps forward and handing a paper package to Chang Dafeng in the dark. "Mom, find a chance to slip this medicine to Yu Junsheng when we watch the movie tomorrow."
"What the heck?"
Chang Dafeng reached out and touched it, then looked at what she was holding.
By the moonlight, one could see that the medicine powder, of unknown origin, was wrapped in brown paper in a small packet the size of clam oil, which looked very suspicious.
For some reason, Chang Dafeng suddenly remembered the recent rumors and her thoughts went astray.
My heart skipped a beat.
"What are you trying to do? Don't tell me you're plotting something against Yu Junsheng?!" Chang Dafeng glanced at Zheng Haiyang in horror and whispered, "I thought you were just thinking about it secretly, but I never thought you would actually dare to lay your hands on him."
Thinking of Yu Junsheng's tantrums, which were just like her own, she realized that even she, who considered herself the number one shrew in the compound, was no match for him!
Chang Dafeng was startled and, without even stumbling, earnestly advised her son, "Son, don't do anything reckless! I know you like that little brat, and I know they both made you lose face. Keke, those two are not to be trifled with. If you do anything to Yu Junsheng, that bastard will definitely go all out to fight you to the death. Then you'll really be in jail for being a hooligan, joining your second brother in the afterlife! You're my only son who can take care of things. What will happen to me and the whole family if you go to jail!"
"He's gone mad, he's gone mad!" Chang Dafeng thought her son was really going crazy. How could he dare to mess with just anyone?
Isn't he afraid of actually squatting under the fence and eating peanuts?
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
What exactly is his mother saying?
Chang Dafeng was extremely anxious. On a whim, she looked at Zheng Haiyang and earnestly suggested, "Son, how about we make a deal? You should go find Xu Dongliang instead. You'll get to know him better after a while. Don't covet Yu Junsheng anymore. He's someone you can't have. Just give up."
Going to Xu Dongliang is better than going to Yu Junsheng; he might even be willing. The more Chang Dafeng thought about it, the more feasible her suggestion seemed.
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
He was stunned for a long time before he finally processed the meaning behind his mother's words.
Then his face instantly turned dark.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
He's said it so many times already, he doesn't like men! He doesn't like Yu Junsheng! He doesn't like him!
And what does it mean to "reach out with evil claws"? What does it mean to be someone he can't have?
Does his mother even know what nonsense she's spouting? In her eyes, what a despicable person he is?!
If someone else said that about him, Zheng Haiyang would have already punched them.
But this is my own mother; I can't hit her, and I can't even scold her!
Zheng Haiyang watched as his mother's face contorted and turned bluish-black for a long time.
After a long pause, she let out a loud cry, "Mom, you're my mom, my own mom! How could you think of me like that? I've told you so many times, I don't like Yu Junsheng. When I said I'd teach him a lesson, I really meant it, to make him look bad and vent my anger. What are you thinking?"
"And what's with all this talk about finding Xu Dongliang, or about getting to know each other better over time? What kind of nonsense is this? Xu Dongliang and I are best buddies, closer than family! When you all misunderstood me and looked down on me, only he chose to believe in me and stand by my side. Our friendship is stronger than gold, what do you know?! You're insulting our pure friendship!"
Zheng Haiyang was very unhappy, and his tone was a bit harsh.
He truly hadn't expected his mother to think of him that way; it was somewhat hurtful.
Chang Dafeng was immediately embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Oh, I see. Why didn't you explain it clearly from the beginning? It's not my fault!"
As for what her son said about being just good buddies with Xu Dongliang, Chang Dafeng didn't know whether their friendship was pure or not, but their bond was indeed stronger than gold.
Otherwise, you can't do that kind of thing, right?
Zheng Haiyang gave a cold laugh. "Heh."
He is now truly disappointed in his family.
However, since he still needed his mother's help, Zheng Haiyang didn't say much. "Mom, you have to help me with this!"
"ah?"
Chang Dafeng's voice even took a detour, why would she want to administer the drug herself?
Chang Dafeng hesitated again and again before stammering, "Son, isn't this a bad idea? If that brat from the Yu family finds out we schemed against him, he'll skin us alive!" Chang Dafeng was genuinely afraid of Yu Junsheng and his wife now.
Zheng Haiyang said coldly, "Mom, you have to help me."
Chang Dafeng's face fell. "Mom's scared!"
She could definitely get into a fight or a shouting match, but she'd never done anything like drugging someone!
Zheng Haiyang continued to persuade, "That couple across the street has ruined my reputation. I must teach Yu Junsheng a lesson, otherwise they'll think I'm easy to bully, and then everyone will be able to kick me while I'm down. This is a golden opportunity, Mom, you must help me!"
Chang Dafeng's face fell even more, and she waved her hand, "No, no, Mom is really scared!"
Zheng Haiyang said angrily, "You really are my own mother! But you won't even do me a small favor!"
Chang Dafeng stammered, "It's not that Mom is unwilling, it's just that Mom is scared. Mom is just an ordinary old lady, how could I possibly administer the medicine? You know Mom doesn't get along with the people across the street, they won't drink the water I bring them!"
She kept arguing, but it all boiled down to three words: "I don't want to."
After saying that, her eyes darted around, and she looked up at Zheng Haiyang hopefully, "Son, why don't you go down yourself? Or let your wife go?"
In short, don't let her go. She's afraid that Yu Junsheng, that scoundrel, will beat her afterward. She's an old lady, she can't take a beating, young people are more resilient.
Comrade Chang Dafeng did have maternal love, but only a little.
Zheng Haiyang: "..."
This is his biological mother, an old lady who can never help him and even holds him back.
He said impatiently, "If I could find that idiot Jiang Qiubai, would I be coming to you? Mom, I've been bullied like this, and you're not even going to stand up for me? Are you even my real mother? What good is a mother like you?"
These words were quite harsh. Chang Dafeng frowned, very dissatisfied, and started arguing.
"How dare you talk like that, child? How am I not your biological mother? I raised you with my own hands, worked hard to find you a wife, and took care of all the housework. And because of this little thing, you say I'm not your biological mother and that I'm useless? You heartless bastard!"
The more Chang Dafeng thought about it, the more wronged she felt. What the hell was the point of raising a son?
Zheng Haiyang became even more impatient. "Is this a small matter? This is a big deal concerning my reputation and job! Do you know how badly those two have ruined my reputation? Now everyone in the factory is saying that I, Zheng Haiyang, like men and have casual relationships with other men! Forget about getting a promotion or a raise, I might not even be able to keep this job!"
Knowing his mother's personality, he cut to the chase, "Mom, think about it carefully. If I lose my job, what will our whole family eat and drink? My third sister and younger brother are still in school. What will they do if I lose my job?"
Sure enough, Chang Dafeng hesitated when the topic of work came up. Her son's job was the livelihood of their whole family, and they couldn't afford to lose it.
Their family is so pitiful.
Well, using drugs doesn't seem like a bad idea?
Seeing this, Zheng Haiyang knew what was going on and continued, "If this works out, the rumors about me in the factory will be dispelled, and everyone will know that I was wronged, so it won't affect my work."
Then, Zheng Haiyang explained his plan to her in detail.
In short, Zheng Haiyang planned to drug Yu Junsheng and make him have sex with Xu Dongliang.
In this way, she could ruin Yu Junsheng's reputation and clear her name of being a womanizer. It was clearly Yu Junsheng who was a womanizer, and it was only because she discovered it that Cheng Jiajia was angry and framed her.
This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
As for the Dongliang brothers who were innocently implicated... I have let them down, I have betrayed their friendship.
After this incident, Dongliang's reputation was ruined, and I will definitely make it up to him in other ways in the future.
However, Dongliang and his brother have such a good relationship, so he should be able to understand me and be willing to help me with this.
Besides, Dongliang and his brother are already married, so even if their reputations are ruined, it won't have a big impact on them.
Zheng Haiyang successfully convinced himself, and gradually even the last trace of guilt disappeared.
...
After thinking it over, Chang Dafeng realized that this was actually quite feasible.
That way, everyone's attention will be drawn to it, and they will forget about the ocean.
Wouldn't that clear her son's name?
"Well..." Chang Dafeng hesitated, then said, "Son, why did you pair Yu Junsheng and Xu Dongliang together? Couldn't you have chosen someone else?"
After all, he had a good relationship with his son. Is it really okay to just push him away to someone else?
Zheng Haiyang said irritably, "Anyone else? Who would want to associate with me these days? Do you think it's so easy for you to administer the drug?"
Chang Dafeng fell silent; it was indeed not so easy to resolve this.
Now nobody in the yard wants to associate with his son anymore, and these grown men run away at the sight of him. How can he possibly drug him?
How do we get people over there to be grouped together with Yu Junsheng?
Only Xu Dongliang, who is currently in close contact with his son, could follow him without any suspicion.
The mother and son began whispering and discussing what to do the next day in the house.
Unbeknownst to them, a fleeting shadow outside the window had overheard their entire scheme.
