Chapter 199 Zheng Haiyang's Money Making and Schemes
Cheng Jiajia was quick and efficient, leaving immediately after finishing her work without any hesitation.
She walked quickly with long strides, and went downstairs before the nurses who heard the commotion arrived at the ward. She disappeared from sight in no time.
Fortunately, it was already quite late, and the corridors and stairwells were empty, so Cheng Jiajia got out without any problems.
There was absolutely no sense of tension from fleeing after doing something wrong.
Yu Junsheng, on tenterhooks: "..."
He was still on edge, almost worried to death, afraid that his wife would be discovered, or that Jiang Qiubai would fight back and hurt her.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Cheng Jiajia's skills, but rather that in his eyes, his wife was now like a fragile glass doll, while Jiang Qiubai was a ticking time bomb. He wouldn't feel at ease letting such a dangerous person be in the same room with his wife for even a second.
Yu Junsheng had been anxiously peering out from the shadow of the pillar by the door. When he saw someone come out, he quickly went forward.
He looked behind her again, but didn't see her tail, so he turned around and pushed the bicycle out from behind a tree not far away.
While carefully examining Cheng Jiajia to see if she was injured, he asked worriedly, "Wife, is everything alright?"
"What could possibly go wrong?" Cheng Jiajia said dismissively.
She still thought it wasn't exciting enough!
Cheng Jiajia jumped onto the back of the bicycle with a thud, and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, Jiang Qiubai is really crazy now. She actually pushed Dong Xiangxiang into a difficult childbirth..."
She told Yu Junsheng everything she had just eaten about the gossip.
To everyone's surprise, Yu Junsheng fell silent after hearing this.
Cheng Jiajia didn't hear his voice for a while, and felt a little strange. It was dark at night and she couldn't see his expression, so she pinched his waist and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The bicycle handlebars swerved, "Hiss!"
Yu Junsheng gasped.
He glanced helplessly at Cheng Jiajia and said, "I was just thinking that I'm too useless to help you. So you'll have to take revenge yourself and risk your life."
As a man, it's really frustrating to be unable to protect your wife when something happens.
Especially after hearing Cheng Jiajia talk about Dong Xiangxiang, Jiang Qiubai's perceived danger level has risen another notch.
Cheng Jiajia didn't take it to heart and even comforted her casually: "What's the big deal? You know I'm strong. You and I are in different fields, and it's normal that our family division of labor is different. I even envy your sharp mind; you can tell what those mechanical drawings are just by looking at them."
"Stop overthinking. Comparing your weaknesses to others' strengths is just asking for trouble."
"You're just overthinking things!"
Yu Junsheng felt a little comforted and quickly stopped worrying about it.
My wife is right. Don't compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths.
Although he wasn't as strong as his wife, he had other strengths.
After calming himself down, Yu Junsheng was able to focus on the gossip he had just heard.
He asked curiously, "Why did Jiang Qiubai push Dong Xiangxiang? Shouldn't it be Dong Xiangxiang pushing him?" After all, Jiang Qiubai slept with another man, which no woman could tolerate, just like a man can't tolerate his wife cheating.
When asked the right question, Cheng Jiajia chuckled and said, "I think it must be related to the job that Dong Xiangxiang's younger brother found."
I found a job out of nowhere, like it fell from the sky.
There's definitely something fishy going on here.
I never expected Dong Xiangxiang to have the ability to snatch the job away from Jiang Qiubai.
Cheng Jiajia was certain that this job belonged to Jiang Qiubai.
After all, she's the female lead from the original book, so she always has some kind of luck about her.
"Wife, we didn't come to the hospital tonight, and we'll pretend we don't know anything about Dong Xiangxiang's matter."
As for Jiang Qiubai's suspicion that someone broke her leg, that's beyond their control.
"knew!"
Cheng Jiajia's reluctant voice echoed in the wind.
Yu Junsheng was also pedaling his bicycle with great effort.
But a thought lingered in his mind: although his wife had some truth to it, if he became so powerful that these ignorant people wouldn't dare to provoke him, would his wife be spared from danger?
The two quickly made their escape.
But for the hospitals in Dongcheng District, this day was destined to be anything but peaceful.
During the day, a woman with a broken leg pushed a pregnant woman, causing severe bleeding and a difficult labor.
That night, the woman with the broken leg had her leg completely smashed.
The twists and turns of the entire process are too numerous to recount in detail; only those who have experienced it can truly understand.
When Jiang Qiubai woke up, he was told that his leg had been comminuted fractured and that even if he recovered, he would still have sequelae.
She couldn't accept it at all, and went crazy in her hospital bed, wanting to hit people and kill people.
"Aaaaah! You lied to me! You lied to me!"
"How could I possibly be lame?!"
"Are you all in cahoots with this old hag to cheat me?!"
Why is it always her who suffers?!
That damn God is so unfair!
She threw the pillows and blankets away violently, her eyes bloodshot, looking like a madwoman, shouting, "Someone's trying to harm me! Someone's trying to harm me! Go and catch them!"
The doctors and nurses were startled and quickly stepped back, afraid of being accidentally caught in the crossfire.
However, they have seen this kind of unwillingness to accept reality quite often and have a wealth of experience in dealing with it.
Several strong caregivers were called over, and together they subdued Jiang Qiubai.
They were given another strong dose of tranquilizer before they finally calmed down.
Chang Dafeng clutched her chest, watching in terror. She didn't even remember to refute Jiang Qiubai's accusations that she had conspired with someone to deceive her.
Unexpectedly, this woman really is lame, and not only is she lame, but she also seems to have gone mad!
Should I consider finding a new daughter-in-law?
...
On the Ren family's side,
Although the baby was born safely, it was not as robust as a full-term baby. Its cries were weak and thin, like a kitten's meow, which made Guan Ailian, the newly appointed grandmother, feel extremely distressed.
She held him in her arms, coaxing and scolding at the same time: "Oh, my good grandson, it's all Jiang Qiubai's fault, that heartless rotten-necked woman. If it weren't for her causing your premature birth, my grandson would definitely be strong and healthy, instead of suffering like this."
He then added gloatingly, "But this woman got her comeuppance. Someone broke her leg last night, and she's still acting crazy in the hospital this morning!"
This has caused quite a stir; almost everyone in the hospital knows about it.
After all, the matter was indeed bizarre, and the hospital also launched an investigation, but to no avail, which added to its mystery and made the story spread even more widely.
"I heard her legs will never be able to walk properly again. Serves her right! This is what happens when you harm my grandson, isn't it?"
Being a premature baby, he was weak and fell asleep after playing for a while due to lack of energy.
Guan Ailian then gently placed the child next to Dong Xiangxiang.
Looking at her daughter-in-law lying on the bed with a pale face, she wished that the man from last night had also knocked off Jiang Qiubai's left leg!
"Oh dear, my poor grandson! He hasn't had a single drop of milk yet!"
Dong Xiangxiang suffered a severe hemorrhage and was extremely weak after giving birth. She remained unconscious after leaving the delivery room and was unable to breastfeed.
Guan Ailian could only hope that the old man would go outside and get some milk powder; she couldn't let her precious grandson go hungry no matter what!
In fact, Dong Xiangxiang had already woken up, but she couldn't open her eyelids.
She heard everything her mother-in-law said: Jiang Qiubai's leg was broken?!
Dong Xiangxiang now shares the same thought as her mother-in-law: she deserves it!
Hahaha, as expected, the scoundrel will get his just desserts!
Dong Xiangxiang woke up from laughing so hard.
She said weakly, "Mom..."
Guan Ailian was overjoyed, "Oh my, you're finally awake!"
"My grandson has milk to drink!"
Guan Ailian didn't even bother with the open door; she directly lifted Dong Xiangxiang's clothes and tried to bring the baby closer.
The rude and direct action made Dong Xiangxiang frown. She stopped her with one hand and reminded her, "Mom, Mom, Xiaobao is still asleep. It's better not to wake him."
"Yeah, look at me, I've lost my mind."
Guan Ailian could only glance regretfully at Dong Xiangxiang's grain bag.
That look made Dong Xiangxiang extremely uncomfortable, as if she were just a dairy cow feeding her baby.
However, she also knew that her mother-in-law had always looked down on her because she had a rural household registration, so there was no point in arguing about it.
She then asked, "Mom, I just heard you say that Jiang Qiubai's leg was broken. What happened?"
Guan Ailian then told Dong Xiangxiang everything about the struggle she had with Zheng Haiyang outside the delivery room yesterday and Jiang Qiubai's retribution.
"That's exactly what they deserved!"
Dong Xiangxiang was extremely pleased to hear this, and felt very grateful to the person who broke Jiang Qiubai's leg.
What a wonderful person!
Although she had 400 yuan, it couldn't quell the hatred Dong Xiangxiang felt for Jiang Qiubai.
Yes, hatred.
If before, Dong Xiangxiang was only hostile towards Jiang Qiubai for stealing her man and wanted to suppress her in everything to vent her anger, then after experiencing Jiang Qiubai causing her to have a difficult childbirth and almost losing both her and her unborn child, Dong Xiangxiang only felt hatred towards this ruthless woman.
That bitch, how dare she!
Isn't she afraid that if something really happens to her, she'll also be arrested and go to jail?!
Feeling the pain in her body and the weakness in her limbs, Dong Xiangxiang made a vow in her heart.
As long as she's around, this woman can forget about having a good life.
Thus, Jiang Qiubai found another stumbling block without her knowledge.
...
The conflict between the Zheng and Ren families was seemingly resolved with this 400 yuan.
The problem is that even if the Zheng family dug up the rat hole, they still wouldn't be able to find 400 yuan.
And ever since Zheng Haiyang's reputation was ruined, no one has been willing to lend him money anymore.
Zheng Haiyang had no choice but to go to the deputy director, and he knew perfectly well what would happen.
A sharp, indescribable pain shot through Zheng Haiyang's body. He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering when this kind of life would end.
Have you ever regretted it?
No, he doesn't regret it!
If he hadn't taken this route, he would be a toilet cleaner in the factory now, how could he have gotten back to the security department?
He can't possibly regret it!
Suddenly, a short, chubby hand slapped a stack of ten-yuan notes onto his chest.
"Xiao Zheng, take this money and spend it. Don't worry about whether you pay it back or not. I don't need the money. As for what I want, you know what I mean."
"Don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"
Realizing what the other person was saying, Zheng Haiyang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly assured them:
"I know, don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you as soon as possible."
He knew this man was losing patience, and he had to get the person here as soon as possible.
...
Machinery factory.
The technical department has overcome another difficult problem, increasing the factory's production capacity by 2%. Yu Junsheng has been very busy lately, running around delivering materials to various factory offices.
He stomped down the stairs, intending to deliver a document that required his signature to the factory manager's secretary.
Unexpectedly, someone stopped me halfway there.
It's Zheng Haiyang.
He was wearing a security guard uniform and looked quite respectable.
It would be even better if you didn't look at yourself with such an infuriating gaze.
Yu Junsheng spoke without any politeness.
"What are you doing? A good dog doesn't block the way, you know?"
Anyway, the two of them have never been able to get along well, and they are not afraid of offending people.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Damn it, who are you calling a dog?!
Thinking of his purpose, Zheng Haiyang suppressed his anger.
He looked Yu Junsheng up and down with a slightly disdainful gaze for a long time, "You're not doing so well in the technical department either, you've been reduced to running errands for others."
Yu Junsheng: "..."
How could he not know that he had fallen to such a state?
Seeing that he remained silent, Zheng Haiyang assumed he had said the right thing and continued:
"I remember that round-faced kid in your department used to be inferior to you, but now he's being given important responsibilities by your department head, right?"
After saying that, he sighed dramatically, as if seeking validation, "It's clear that in this factory, it's difficult to get ahead without connections!"
“We grew up together, brother. I can’t bear to see you being bullied by that person with connections. How about I take you to meet them sometime?”
Zheng Haiyang had a look on his face that said, "See? I treat you like a brother."
Zheng Haiyang was very confident in his argument; no man would refuse an opportunity to climb the social ladder.
He was convinced that Yu Junsheng would definitely be tempted.
Once you're interested, everything else will be easy.
However, Yu Junsheng gave him a strange look and suddenly spoke:
"You talk a good game, but you're just selling hooks. I'm not into that kind of thing."
He frowned and said sternly, "I'm warning you, don't you dare try anything with me!"
"My hook is worthless, not as valuable as yours."
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang's face turned pale and then red.
What does he mean?
How did Yu Junsheng find out?!
Also, what did he mean by his last words?
What does he think he is, you bastard!
How can he be compared to a duck!
Zheng Haiyang was trembling with anger.
Zheng Haiyang thought he had kept this a secret, but in reality, everyone in the factory and even the staff in the compound was wondering how he got his job back.
Both the exciting and the innocent versions have been rehearsed in everyone's minds a hundred and eighty times.
Only he himself still felt that he was pure and innocent, like a white lotus flower.
Hmph, nonsense.
Seeing people's faces turn blue and purple, more beautiful than fireworks, Yu Junsheng was satisfied.
He had a vague idea of what was going on. Zheng Haiyang was trying to drag him into this mess, so naturally he wouldn't give him a friendly look. What Zheng Haiyang said just now was both a deliberate attempt to annoy him and a form of threat.
It means don't think I don't know your dirty secrets, don't mess with me, or I'll expose everything to you.
He thought he had made it obvious enough, and if Zheng Haiyang was smart, he wouldn't come looking for him again.
A few days later, Zheng Haiyang suddenly brought a middle-aged man with a serious face and a big belly to the courtyard.
