Chapter 164 Watching a Movie
Zheng Haiyang has never been a magnanimous person. He was wronged so badly by Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, how could he possibly swallow this insult?
He had been waiting for an opportunity to scheme against Yu Junsheng and teach him a lesson he would never forget.
This movie screening is a godsend.
When a group of people sit together in the dark, it's all too easy for something to happen.
Then there was Cheng Jiajia. Zheng Haiyang instantly pictured her cherry lips, delicate nose, and alluring peach blossom eyes, and felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
Actually, Zheng Haiyang didn't tell Chang Dafeng the truth. Besides wanting to teach Yu Junsheng a lesson and ruin his reputation, he also had another idea that he couldn't tell anyone...
He didn't know why, but before, when he saw Cheng Jiajia, he only thought of her as a pretty girl, a brainless fool, an uncultured country bumpkin. He had always looked down on her. He had never had any other thoughts about her because of her appearance.
But ever since that dream, he kept having that dream, in which he and Cheng Jiajia were a couple... Whenever Zheng Haiyang saw Cheng Jiajia and her beautiful face, he would always feel a little strange.
That's right, Cheng Jiajia is very beautiful. She has fair skin, delicate features, and a figure that's curvy in all the right places. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the most beautiful of all the young wives in the compound.
Some men privately say that although Yu Junsheng's wife comes from the countryside, she is a source of great pride to take out.
Zheng Haiyang hadn't taken it seriously before, but now when he thinks about it, he feels a pang of sadness.
Clearly, clearly this is his wife's.
The day before yesterday, seeing her flirting with Yu Junsheng, Zheng Haiyang felt even more resentful and jealous.
What makes them have such a good relationship?
Why did Yu Junsheng manage to steal his wife away?
Zheng Haiyang thought grimly that he not only wanted to ruin Yu Junsheng's reputation, but also to take back what was rightfully his.
...
Zheng Haiyang and his mother whispered and discussed their plan for over half an hour, completely unaware that their scheme had been overheard by others.
Outside, Cheng Jiajia, dressed in black, had a somber expression.
Sure enough, that bastard was up to no good!
They're still trying to scheme against their own Yu Junsheng?
Cheng Jiajia glanced at Chang Dafeng's quiet window and sneered.
Hehe, let's wait and see who can outsmart whom?
The day before yesterday, when Ren Yongsheng announced the movie screening in the courtyard, Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were joking around when Cheng Jiajia inadvertently turned around and saw Zheng Haiyang staring at them with a sinister look.
It was as if they wanted to devour them both.
Cheng Jiajia was so frightened that she immediately jumped.
I just felt that this bastard was definitely up to no good.
She's probably plotting against me and Yu Junsheng.
She hadn't forgotten that she'd just thrown a bucket of dirty water at them. This bastard wasn't some saint; he couldn't possibly let such a huge loss go unpunished.
She has always preferred to overthink things and is not afraid to assume the worst about Zheng Haiyang.
Cheng Jiajia dared not let her guard down. For the past two days, she had been keeping a close eye on the family across the street from her own window, just in case.
Sure enough, she noticed something was amiss.
These past two days, Zheng Haiyang has occasionally been giving their east wing a sinister look.
Another thing is that Zheng Haiyang disappeared after get off work, and we don't know where he went.
That's very strange.
You see, ever since the rumors about Zheng Haiyang liking men spread, he hasn't liked going out. Well, it's all thanks to Cheng Jiajia. People outside treat him like an oddball and avoid him like the plague. Rather than go out and be laughed at, he'd rather stay at home and isolate himself.
These days, Zheng Haiyang stays home as soon as he gets off work, only sometimes coming home a little late because he works overtime at the factory. But according to Cheng Jiajia's observation, he always comes back before eight o'clock.
But these past two days, he's been unusually away from home, returning very late at night.
For example, it's already 10 o'clock, and this person still hasn't come back.
Cheng Jiajia didn't believe he had gone to hang out with friends. These days, besides Xu Dongliang, nobody wanted to associate with Zheng Haiyang. With his current reputation, who could he possibly stay at until ten o'clock at someone's house?
Aren't they afraid?
So this bastard must be doing something shady.
Thinking this, Cheng Jiajia kept a closer eye on the other side, afraid of missing the slightest movement. She and Yu Junsheng took turns keeping watch, and finally they discovered that Zheng Haiyang had sneaked back from outside that night.
The way he looks like a thief tells you he's up to no good.
Cheng Jiajia gave Yu Junsheng a few instructions, and without thinking much about it, she quietly followed him to eavesdrop.
I never expected to hear the mother and son scheming like this.
Cheng Jiajia's expression was very unpleasant.
Did they drug Yu Junsheng and Xu Dongliang together?
That's really great!
If you dare to extend your claws, then you'd better wait to be chopped off!
...
Cheng Jiajia, her face grim, hid under Chang Dafeng's window and listened for a while longer, until the voices inside gradually faded away. Zheng Haiyang...
Just as I was about to tiptoe back, a commotion arose at the front gate in the quiet night.
Then, footsteps came from the hanging flower gates of the front and second courtyards, and the sound seemed to be coming from this direction.
And who is it that's only returning now?
Cheng Jiajia paused for a moment, and without thinking, quickly slipped behind a pillar to the side.
The person who came seemed to have been drinking; their steps were unsteady and they were staggering.
Cheng Jiajia was still guessing who this person was from their courtyard.
Then a familiar, low voice muttered curses, "You damned old woman! You're charging five yuan for just one packet of medicine? Why don't you just die!"
medicine? !
What medicine costs five yuan a packet?
Nowadays, most of the small pills for headaches and colds prescribed by clinics cost only a few cents. What kind of miracle drug can sell for five dollars a pack?
For some reason, Cheng Jiajia suddenly thought of the medicine Zheng Haiyang gave to Chang Dafeng.
She had a strange intuition that the two drugs might be the same one.
Cheng Jiajia raised an eyebrow and continued to listen attentively.
Sure enough, Xu Dongliang was cursing and cursing when he chuckled, "But as long as things work out tomorrow and I can sleep with Zheng Haiyang, five yuan is five yuan! It's worth it."
"I wasn't satisfied at all last time, so I'm definitely going to make sure I get a good night's sleep with him tomorrow!"
"Slurp~"
In the quiet of the night, the sound of swallowing was quite distinct.
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Damn, this guy is really hungry.
They're already drooling! How hungry must they be?
Cheng Jiajia, who had just been feeling somewhat gloomy, was amused by this person.
It would be a little ridiculous not to say it.
Did Zheng Haiyang know that while he was scheming against others, they were also planning to scheme against him?
"Pah! Zhu Ziqiang is such an ungrateful bastard. I'm trying to get close to him and he doesn't even like it. Does he really think I can't live without him? Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow! I'll sleep with Zheng Haiyang and then I won't care about this spineless coward!"
The drunkard Xu Dongliang staggered toward the side room of the west wing while cursing and swearing.
After processing the information she had just overheard, Cheng Jiajia narrowed her eyes slightly.
Tomorrow is definitely a good day.
One or two of them are thinking about causing trouble tomorrow.
I wonder who the real culprit is?
...
After the person left, Cheng Jiajia did not act immediately. Instead, she waited for a while until there was no sound in the courtyard before tiptoeing to the east wing and gently pushing open the door.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Yu Junsheng running out from the inner room, wearing a coat, and asking,
"Wife, how are you?"
Yu Junsheng knew that he was not as skilled as Cheng Jiajia and was afraid of going out and holding her back, so he obediently stayed in the house and kept watch outside.
God knows, he was really worried for his wife when that person walked by.
Fortunately, his wife was quick-witted and hid.
Yu Junsheng felt both proud and worried.
Cheng Jiajia had no idea about the man's complicated feelings. She nodded, then remembered that it was nighttime and he couldn't see her nod, so she replied softly, "It's okay, I roughly know what they're planning."
Then he told Yu Junsheng what he had heard.
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Holy shit!
Yu Junsheng was startled awake from his drowsiness.
His face flushed with rage, and he cursed, "Zheng Haiyang, that bastard! That son of a bitch! That despicable dog! I only threw a bucket of dirty water on him, which only damaged his reputation! He actually tried to drug me and ruin my reputation! What a heartless and insidious scoundrel!"
The thought that this bastard actually wanted to give him to Xu Dongliang to be defiled made Yu Jun furious.
"You bastard! You son of a bitch! You despicable piece of trash!"
Cheng Jiajia calmly recounted her encounter with Xu Dongliang, emphasizing the few words he had muttered.
Yu Junsheng's cursing stopped abruptly, his expression turning very strange.
"This, this is really something, I don't know what to say."
Zheng Haiyang was plotting against himself, unaware that someone else was also plotting against him behind his back.
"It all comes down to who has the better strategy."
Cheng Jiajia casually toyed with her braid draped over her shoulder, a playful expression on her face. "I'm so kind. How could I not help my neighbor when he's suffering so much from heartbreak? Don't you think so?"
"Let's give them a memorable movie. The kind that will leave a lasting impression on them."
Cheng Jiajia smiled, her expression utterly innocent.
Yu Junsheng felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
Oh no, his wife must be up to no good again.
He likes it so much!
Yu Junsheng looked at Cheng Jiajia with shining eyes, "Wife, tell me, what should we do tomorrow?"
He does exactly what his wife tells him to do!
He absolutely adores the feeling of doing naughty things with his wife!
Moreover, Zheng Haiyang is indeed a bastard who needs to be taught a lesson. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll think everyone else is made of clay and waiting for him to scheme against them.
...
It's rare for the factory to organize a movie screening for everyone, and the best part is that it's free!
Residents of several nearby residential compounds were very excited and started making preparations early.
Open-air movies don't have assigned seats; it's all about first come, first served. Those who arrive first get front seats, closer to the screen, and a clearer view, while those who arrive later can only see the backs of the heads in front of them.
Cheng Jiajia didn't want to see the backs of the people in front of her. She had made an appointment with Aunt Cao to go early together and get a good spot.
Just then, Yu Junsheng and I finished dinner and were tidying up when we heard Aunt Cao shouting from outside, "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng!"
"Are you done yet? Let's hurry up and go. I think they've already gone to the backyard."
"Coming, coming, Aunt Cao, please wait a moment!"
Cheng Jiajia quickly brought out Yu Junsheng with the sunflower seeds, soda, and small stools she had prepared.
Upon coming out, I was immediately surprised, "Oh my, ma'am, you even brought a thermos!"
Aunt Cao gave her a look as if she were an idiot. "What are you going to drink later if you don't bring a water bottle?"
He glanced at the two bottles of soda tucked in Yu Junsheng's arms and snorted, "You guys are still young! It's so cold at night, how are you going to drink this chilly stuff?"
That makes so much sense!
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng exchanged a glance.
Cheng Jiajia was tempted, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
The main problem is that tonight is destined to be turbulent. If I bring a water bottle, what if someone accidentally breaks it?
Nowadays, electric kettles are a rare commodity at supply and marketing cooperatives; you might not even be able to buy one even with a ration coupon.
...
As luck would have it, when they came out, they ran into two families across the street who were also setting off together.
They probably wanted to get there early to secure a good spot.
Chang Dafeng cursed as she walked, "Pah! She talks so righteously, like she's so enlightened, but all she got was for her husband, Yongsheng, to save her a spot!" She was still resentful that Guan Ailian hadn't agreed to save her a spot yesterday. If that little brat Ren Yongsheng had agreed to save her a spot, would she have needed to go so early?
Aunt Cao pursed her lips, thinking to herself that if she had that connection, she would also have someone reserve a spot for her in advance.
But they have no connection with you, Chang Dafeng, so why should they take up your spot?
People like this just don't know their own limitations!
When Cheng Jiajia and her group arrived, there weren't many people yet, and they managed to secure a spot with a good view.
Not long after we sat down, Zheng Haiyang came over with his family.
As luck would have it, they were sitting in the row right behind them.
More and more people gathered, and Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were surrounded by people on all sides.
Soon, the movie began.
Cheng Jiajia took out the prepared sunflower seeds from Yu Junsheng's arms and started eating them. After eating for a while, she felt a little thirsty, so she took out a bottle of soda from his arms and drank it.
Yu Jun was afraid the soda would be too cold, so he kept it in his pocket. Cheng Jiajia could still feel his body temperature when she held it in her hand.
His lips twitched. "You're such a clever little devil!"
Yu Junsheng chuckled, "Of course!" He then took out a bottle and drank from it, "Hey! It's not too cold! This insulation method is pretty good!"
Later, seeing the two of them enjoying their soda, Zheng Haihua, that little rascal, started clamoring for some too, "Mommy, Big Brother, I want soda! I want soda! Waaah! I want soda too!"
"I want to drink! I want to drink!"
Chang Dafeng also glanced jealously at the sodas in the hands of the two people in front of her, and said sarcastically, "Drink, drink, drink! Is that something you can drink? It's something only a glutton could eat!"
She hadn't even tasted what it was like yet, and these two little brats bought two bottles at once—what a waste of money!
Chang Dafeng thought maliciously, "Spend it all, spend it all, let's see what you two will have left to show off with!"
When the adults didn't meet his demands, Zheng Haihua, that brat, plopped down on the ground and started kicking his legs in a tantrum, yelling, "I don't care, I don't care! I want soda! I want soda! Waaah!"
"Waaaaah! I want soda! Waaaaah!"
"Hey, whose little brat is crying? Aren't the adults doing anything about it? It's so noisy!"
"Exactly! Go cry somewhere else. You're disturbing everyone's movie viewing, you know? You have no manners!"
"If you cry again, get the hell out of here!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned towards the direction where the Zheng family was.
There was disapproval, impatience, and disgust in those eyes.
The Zheng family members are usually thick-skinned and didn't think anything of it, but Dong Siwei couldn't stand it anymore.
When has she ever been disliked like this before?
Dong Siwei blushed deeply, feeling somewhat regretful for coming with the Zheng family.
Thinking that a bottle of soda only cost two cents, she whispered to Xu Dongliang, "Dongliang, go buy that kid a bottle of soda, otherwise he'll keep making noise, it's so annoying." Most importantly, everyone was looking at them with disdain, and she couldn't stand it!
Xu Dongliang was initially impatient and didn't want to get involved, but when he saw Zheng Haiyang sitting next to him, his eyes flickered, he agreed, and got up to leave.
Dong Siwei coaxed Zheng Haihua with a fake smile, "Haihua, don't cry. Your brother Xu went to buy soda. You'll be able to drink it in a little while. Don't cry."
Zheng Haihua's crying stopped abruptly. He wiped away his tears and actually laughed, "Oh! I have soda to drink!"
Chang Dafeng didn't feel embarrassed at all. She even thought her son was smart and managed to get a bottle of soda by making a fuss.
He glanced at Zheng Haihua with a mixture of pride and satisfaction.
He truly is her son!
Zheng Haiyang was focused on watching the movie, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Dong Siwei held her breath.
Even though Dong Siwei has a soft spot for the male lead, she has to admit that his family is truly awful.
...
In an effort to please Zheng Haiyang, Xu Dongliang bought a bottle of soda for each member of the Zheng family present.
The six bottles of soda, carried in a net bag, attracted attention along the way.
Wow, that's quite a feat! Everyone has to give it a thumbs up.
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to open the bottles, so I borrowed a bottle opener from someone. They're all already opened." Xu Dongliang casually took out the first two bottles from the net bag and handed them to Zheng Haiyan, Dong Siwei, and Zheng Haihua, then took two more bottles for Chang Dafeng and Zheng Haiyang.
"Come on, godmother, Haiyang, let's drink together."
Chang Dafeng's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it, "There's one for me too! Dongliang, you're so filial!"
"Godmother, what are you saying? With the relationship between Haiyang and me, you're just like my own mother!"
Chang Dafeng only had eyes for soda; she just kept saying "uh-huh" to everything else she heard.
The old lady had never tasted soda before, so she took it and gulped it down.
"Burp~ Delicious!"
Zheng Haiyang felt a little embarrassed, but what could he do? This was his own mother.
But he absolutely refused to accept Xu Dongliang's soda, pretending to be disgusted, saying, "Why would a grown man like me drink soda? It's so girly! Leave it for Siwei, those women love this."
Xu Dongliang paused, a little annoyed. Why was he being so effeminate? He just loved drinking!
But thinking about tonight's plans, she disapproved and advised, "Haiyang, your thinking is wrong. Who says men can't drink soda? We men work hard outside to earn money to support our families. We are the pillars of our families. Why can't we treat ourselves better?"
"Ocean, you should drink some too, try this new thing! We can't treat ourselves too badly."
Cheng Jiajia, who had been seemingly engrossed in watching the movie, was now listening intently, her lips twitching. She thought to herself that if Xu Dongliang were in modern times, he would definitely be a master at pyramid schemes, given his endless stream of fallacies and heresies. The key was that he could even articulate them in a way that made them sound perfectly reasonable.
Can Zheng Haiyang hold out?
Just as Cheng Jiajia had thought, Xu Dongliang's words touched Zheng Haiyang's heartstrings.
He thought to himself that he had worked himself to the bone, scrimping and saving to support his younger siblings through school and food, only to find that they were all ungrateful wretches.
It's not worth it, not at all!
"Come on, have a taste!"
Zheng Haiyang stopped hesitating, took it, and tried a sip.
He smacked his lips, thinking the taste was not bad, and it didn't seem too sweet, just a bit cold.
"No wonder everyone loves it, it tastes really good!"
Without Xu Dongliang needing to persuade him further, Zheng Haiyang downed half the bottle in one gulp.
Xu Dongliang was very satisfied.
Drink more, drink more, the medicine will be more effective, and then I'll... hehehehe.
Xu Dongliang revealed a lewd smile.
