Chapter 28 Is Zheng Haiyang up to the task?
In the ward, Zheng Haiyang was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed when suddenly there was a loud bang at the door. He opened his eyes with a start and saw Bao Dayan's ordinary face shining with excitement.
Not only that, she kept looking at me with a strange gaze, occasionally glancing at a certain spot with a veiled look.
Zheng Haiyang subconsciously squeezed his legs together.
Damn it, damn it, is this female hooligan trying to take advantage of me again?!
Thinking of the news she had just heard, Bao Dayan couldn't help but let out a chilling smile. Hahahaha! Hahahaha!
Zheng Haiyang got goosebumps all over and glared at the man, annoyed, "What are you laughing at?!"
Holy crap, is this guy crazy?!
By the way, what was the reason Bao Dayan was hospitalized?
Zheng Haiyang thought about it for a moment and was startled.
Damn, damn, that's even scarier!
Bao Dayan had no idea what Zheng Haiyang was thinking. She quickly denied it, her voice sharp, "N-nothing!" Bao Dayan tried hard to suppress the excitement and agitation on her face, her expression contorted with suppressed emotion, but she still couldn't help but stare intently at a certain part of Zheng Haiyang's body.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he expected! Just as he expected!
That lecherous woman, she really does have designs on me!
He quickly pulled the blanket tighter to cover himself, and said in a panic, "Let me tell you, don't you dare have any improper thoughts about me. What kind of person are you, and what kind of person am I? You should have some self-awareness. I don't even look at you!"
Bao Dayan's face darkened. What the hell?!
I didn’t even like him when he was doing well, let alone now?
This is an insult to her!
She gave Zheng Haiyang a disdainful look and spat out a loud "Pah!" "I wouldn't even look at you!"
He's not even a real man anymore, you dead eunuch! You scumbag! She'd never look down on you again in her next life!
Zheng Haiyang didn't believe her, thinking she was just being stubborn, and continued to stare at her warily. Look at her hungry eyes, they were practically staring a hole through his private parts, but she didn't seem to look down on him at all.
This female hooligan must be using a feigned retreat to advance, waiting for me to lower my guard before making a move on me.
I can't fall for her tricks!
Seeing the way he treated her like a pervert, Bao Dayan was furious and cursed viciously, "You damned eunuch, you're already impotent and you still don't know your place! Look at the way you are, do you think I'd even look at you? Who are you trying to disgust with that attitude?!"
With a clatter, the teacup in Jiang Qiubai's hand fell to the ground by the door.
Zheng Haiyang's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He couldn't believe it. "No, no, you must be lying to me!"
Bao Dayan gloated, "Why would I lie to you? Don't you know what you're like?"
Zheng Haiyang glared at Bao Dayan with a ferocious expression. "You're definitely lying to me! You're only saying that on purpose to get revenge. How could I possibly be incapable?!"
Damn, this is kind of scary, what's going on?
Bao Dayan shrank back, not daring to provoke him any further.
Jiang Qiubai, standing at the door, was trembling with fear.
Ever since hearing what the doctor said, Jiang Qiubai has been feeling extremely uneasy.
Although the doctor said that Haiyang's injury might recover if he heals, she was still worried. What if Haiyang really couldn't make it? What would she do then?
And then there's the mother-in-law. If she knew it was her own brother who beat Haiyang Ge like this, she'd probably tear her apart.
She didn't even dare to imagine that if she told Chang Dafeng this news, her fury would probably be no less than if she found out that she had left the job to her family.
Jiang Qiubai trembled with fear just thinking about it.
Suddenly, she was pushed to the ground by a force, and a dark figure darted inside.
The mother-in-law's familiar shrill voice rang out, "Oh, Haiyang, my son, what happened to you? Who, who beat you like this?"
Jiang Qiubai shuddered, and two words flashed through his mind: It's over!
Chang Dafeng was originally unwilling to accept the ten yuan she had given Liu Xiaohong, and wanted to turn around and see if the mother and daughter were trying to swindle her money.
But who would have thought, who would have thought, that she would hear the news that her most trusted eldest son was dying?!
Her vision went black instantly.
a bolt from the blue!
Shocking bad news!
Looking at her son lying on the bed with a pale face, Chang Dafeng felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
"Was it this little bitch's family who did it?!"
Chang Dafeng lunged fiercely at Jiang Qiubai, grabbing his hair with a ferocious expression and slapping his genitals repeatedly. "I'll beat you to death, you heartless little bitch! My son kindly accompanied you back to your parents' home, and you've ruined him like this! Don't you have any conscience?! You heartless, wicked woman!"
Jiang Qiubai had anticipated her mother-in-law's rage, but she never expected her to attack her in the hospital. Caught off guard, she was slapped hard across the face several times. The five-finger marks from her own mother's slap that morning hadn't completely faded yet, and now her mother-in-law's iron palms were covering her face. Jiang Qiubai's cheeks were swollen, her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely miserable.
Chang Dafeng didn't let her off the hook. Instead, she slapped her hard in the slits several more times, yelling, "You little bitch, it's all your fault that my son was killed!"
Jiang Qiubai dodged left and right, avoiding her mother-in-law's Iron Sand Palm and Nine Yin White Bone Claw, all the while crying, "Mom, Mom, it wasn't me, I didn't, I didn't hurt Haiyang, it was my brother, my brother, he hit him, waaaah..."
The stern-faced nurse, seeing someone causing trouble in the morning, came over and angrily shouted, "It's you again! When will this ever end?!"
"If you keep making trouble, I'll really call security to kick you out!"
Chang Dafeng burst into tears, "Nurse, it's not that I'm causing trouble, I'm just so angry. Look at my son, he's been beaten like this, how can I not be angry?"
"It's all that wicked woman's fault! It's all her fault!"
She was crying so pitifully that the nurse glanced at Zheng Haiyang, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and felt a little sorry for him. She said, "No matter what, the hospital is not a place for you to cause trouble. If you have any grievances, you can report to the police and seek help from the police officers."
Chang Dafeng's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, yes, call the police! I'm going to call the police to arrest all of the Jiang family members and put them all in jail!"
Chang Dafeng didn't care about in-laws or anything like that, nor did she care about Jiang Qiubai's opinion. However, to Chang Dafeng's surprise, the first person to jump out in opposition was not Jiang Qiubai, but her good son Zheng Haiyang.
"Mom, we can't call the police, we can't!"
Since learning that he might not make it, Zheng Haiyang stared blankly at the ceiling, lying motionless on the bed like a dead man, until he heard his mother say that she would call the police, which startled him awake.
His face turned grim as he said, "Mom, listen to me, we can't report this to the police."
Chang Dafeng instantly bristled, pointing at Jiang Qiubai in disbelief, "Why?! Are you going to protect this bitch?!"
Zheng Haiyang glanced at Jiang Qiubai with a gloomy expression; naturally, it wasn't for her sake.
He pursed his lips. "It wasn't just those Jiang family brats who beat me up; I beat them up too."
"They are now staying in the ward next door."
If the police are not notified, he might also be implicated. After all, he is not an innocent victim. The three Jiang brothers are injured, which could be evidence and could affect his job.
Chang Dafeng: As expected of her son, he didn't suffer too much of a loss.
Her anger subsided considerably, but then, remembering something, she asked sharply, "What happened when Bao Dayan said you weren't good enough?"
Everyone inside turned their gazes toward Bao Dayan, who had somehow somehow made her way to the doorway.
Bao Dayan: "..."
Bao Dayan, who was about to slip away with her mother, rolled her eyes. "This isn't just me making things up; the doctor said it himself!"
Chang Dafeng's piercing gaze immediately shot towards Jiang Qiubai. It's all because of this little bitch!
Just as she was about to lash out at someone again, Jiang Qiubai had a flash of inspiration and quickly told Chang Dafeng what the doctor had said, "Mom, Mom, the doctor said that Haiyang's back injury won't necessarily affect that aspect after resting. Haiyang will be fine!"
"real?"
"real?!"
Two voices, one doubtful and the other joyful, came from Chang Dafeng and Zheng Haiyang respectively.
Jiang Qiubai nodded emphatically, speaking with such conviction that he made a promise he himself didn't believe, "Yes, yes, it definitely will! Haiyang is such a good guy, he'll definitely be fine!"
Chang Dafeng was skeptical, but that was the only way. She had acted impulsively just now, thinking of beating this bitch to vent her anger for her son. But if her son really died, she wouldn't be able to treat this bitch like that in the future.
She forced a kind smile. "Daughter-in-law, does your face still hurt? I was wrong just now. I was just panicking when I heard about Haiyang's accident, and that's why I didn't know my limits. I didn't mean to. You can understand me, right?"
Jiang Qiubai was flattered that his mother-in-law hadn't been so kind to him in a long time. "Mom, how could I blame you? You were just worried about Haiyang. Besides, it was indeed my brother and his friends who were in the wrong. They didn't know their limits and made Haiyang suffer a lot. You're already being very magnanimous by not holding it against me. How could I possibly blame you?"
Upon hearing about Jiang's younger brother, a shadow crossed Chang Dafeng's face, but it quickly returned to its kind expression. "It's good that you think that way. You and Haiyang must live a good life together from now on. Now that you're married, you're husband and wife, and you should support each other. Haiyang will be relying on you from now on, daughter-in-law. Don't let your mother down."
It must be said that Chang Dafeng is quite cunning when she wants to be. Her words were reasonable and persuasive, and Jiang Qiubai thought that although her mother-in-law was sometimes a bit fierce, she was still the most understanding mother-in-law in the world.
What mother-in-law in this world would forgive her daughter-in-law after her brother-in-law hit her son?
Only her mother-in-law!
Jiang Qiubai was deeply moved. "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Haiyang!"
Chang Dafeng held Jiang Qiubai's hand, her face full of trust, "Daughter-in-law, I believe in you."
Although this daughter-in-law is not perfect, she is easy to fool. Her son will still need her in the future, so she can't push her away.
...
At the end of the corridor, Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng: "!!!"
Both of them were utterly shocked and amazed!
Zheng Haiyang was actually beaten up by his three brothers-in-law and ended up in the hospital?!
The back is injured, and it seems to be affecting that aspect of my sex life too?!
Aunt Chang is very skilled at using those PUA techniques; she must have used them on Jiang Qiubai quite a few times!
And Jiang Qiubai, what's with that thing on her neck? She actually believed Chang Dafeng's nonsense? Her son suffered so much, and she really believed Chang Dafeng wouldn't blame her or Jiang's younger brother? She must be filled with hatred in her heart.
Sigh, they really, really don't understand. They don't get it, they just don't understand.
It was quite a coincidence. Cheng Jiajia had mentioned before that her period was irregular, and since she was at the hospital today, Yu Junsheng took her to see a doctor. Whether or not she could have children was secondary; his main concern was her health. If she was sick, she needed to be treated.
The two had registered, seen the doctor, and were just leaving the consultation room to get their medicine when they witnessed this whole drama.
But what shocked them the most was the fact that Zheng Haiyang was impotent.
"But will this have any impact?" Cheng Jiajia asked Yu Junsheng with a wink, full of curiosity.
She vaguely remembered that a man's back could affect his sexual function, but Jiang Qiubai spoke with such certainty that it didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that Zheng Haiyang's back injury wasn't serious?
Yu Junsheng: "..." Was his wife being a little too curious?
However, he was also very curious whether Zheng Haiyang was up to the task.
...
After calming her foolish daughter-in-law down, Chang Dafeng glanced at Bao Dayan and Liu Xiaohong, who were about to slip away again, with her slanted, triangular eyes. "Bao Dayan, where are you going?"
Bao Dayan wasn't as arrogant as before. She chuckled awkwardly, "Aunt Chang, I'm feeling better. We're getting ready to be discharged." This family isn't quite right in the head right now; we don't dare mess with them!
Chang Dafeng said in a harsh voice, "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to tell anyone about what happened here today, do you hear me?"
Bao Dayan's eyes darted around, and she hesitated, saying, "Even if I don't say anything, others will find out!"
Chang Dafeng glanced at her and snorted, "I've watched you grow up, I know exactly what you're going to do. Twenty yuan, how about it? As long as you don't go around telling everyone, you don't need to worry about anything else!"
Bao Dayan was very tempted. Twenty yuan was more than half a month's salary for her. Compared to ruining Zheng Haiyang's reputation, taking the money was more worthwhile. Besides, she could take the money first and then figure things out.
So Bao Dayan smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved, Aunt Chang. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell!"
Chang Dafeng, her face dark, took two ten-yuan bills from the sole of her shoe and handed them to Bao Dayan, staring into her eyes and saying, "You'd better keep your mouth shut!"
In the corridor,
Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia, who were eavesdropping, exchanged a glance and revealed a meaningful smile.
Regardless of whether Zheng Haiyang is capable or not, they are determined to solidify this reputation!
They can also conveniently shift the blame onto Bao Dayan.
Cheng Jiajia still remembered that the young widow Bao Dayan had designs on her man, and there was that little note from last time. Luckily, Yu Junsheng was quick-witted and slipped the note to Zheng Haiyang; otherwise, it would have been Yu Junsheng and Bao Dayan who were caught that day. She had only shifted the blame onto her; how merciful she was.
The two agreed on a plan and quickly went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
Back home, Yu Junsheng prepared a simple lunch. After Cheng Jiajia finished eating, she put down her chopsticks, grabbed some melon seeds, and excitedly went to chat with Aunt Cao.
Yu Junsheng stared at the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, vaguely remembering that his original intention in marrying Cheng Jiajia was to marry a virtuous wife to help him manage the housework. At the very least, the housework would be done by the two of them. How come all these chores have fallen into his hands now?
Thinking of those heartless people who had already gone off to chat, Yu Junsheng sighed and resignedly began washing the dishes.
...
During their conversation, Cheng Jiajia inadvertently revealed that Zheng Haiyang seemed to have been beaten and injured his back.
Aunt Cao jumped up from the stool in shock, repeatedly saying, "Impossible!"
How could there be any information in this courtyard that I don't know?
Cheng Jiajia also said that she heard it from a relative who works at a hospital.
She had just been boasting that she was the most well-informed person in the courtyard, but she was immediately proven wrong. Aunt Cao felt her face was burning with embarrassment.
However, her attention immediately shifted to Zheng Haiyang's back injury.
That's your waist.
As we all know, the waist is a very important part of a man's body, and an injury to this area can easily lead people to think of other things.
Then, without Cheng Jiajia saying anything more, Aunt Cao imagined many things herself, her expression was very strange, and her eyebrows flew wildly.
For the next while, Aunt Cao kept a close eye on the movements in the west wing, determined to get firsthand information about Zheng Haiyang's injury.
Then she'll be able to save face in front of Cheng Jiajia.
Having finished her business, Cheng Jiajia walked out of the Guo family home with a smile and returned to the east wing, her back view exuding a joyful spirit.
Yu Junsheng raised an eyebrow, "Is the matter settled?"
Cheng Jiajia said smugly, "That's right, you don't even know who's in charge!"
Her proud and adorable little face was just so endearing. Yu Junsheng pinched her cheek and said, "Why is my wife so adorable?"
"We didn't leave any evidence, did we? We can't let the Zheng family know that we're the ones causing trouble."
"How could I not know that?"
She chuckled and said, "Anyway, I didn't say anything. But I can't control what other people might imagine based on what I said!"
Yu Junsheng couldn't resist giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, and Cheng Jiajia returned the favor with a heavy kiss on his cheek. The two hugged each other, looked at each other, and chuckled mischievously.
...
In the afternoon, Chang Dafeng came back to pack her things. There was a clanging sound coming from the west wing, and Aunt Cao immediately ran over.
"Hey, Lao Chang, Lao Chang, where are you going? Why are you packing so much stuff?"
Chang Dafeng, looking extremely annoyed, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, cursing, "Pah, don't even mention it! My Haiyang was beaten up by those little bastards from the Jiang family, and he's in the hospital now. I need to pack some things for him. My Haiyang is such a good child, and they actually hit him! Those damned little brats, why doesn't God punish them!"
Aunt Cao's small eyes gleamed, but she exclaimed, "My goodness! He's in the hospital! That must be really serious!"
Chang Dafeng spat viciously, "You damned little beast! My Haiyang can't even get out of bed, and who knows how long he'll have to stay in bed to recover!"
Aunt Cao joined her in angrily cursing, "These heartless bastards, how could they be so cruel! They should be reported to the police and have them all arrested!"
Chang Dafeng's eyes flickered.
The truth is that although Zheng Haiyang was lying in bed, he was far from being unable to get up. Although his back hurt, he could still help himself up and walk a few steps.
Chang Dafeng exaggerated her injuries to gain sympathy and get help from others. She and Jiang Qiubai couldn't handle the heavy work that followed, so they needed the help of the people in the courtyard.
As for Zheng Haicheng, in Chang Dafeng's mind he was still a child, how could he do those things?
However, she was careful not to mention that Zheng Haiyang was injured in his lower back. After all, that location was a bit sensitive and could easily lead people to think of other things, which would have a bad impact on her son. She wasn't stupid.
However, what Chang Dafeng didn't know was that Aunt Cao had already learned from Cheng Jiajia that Zheng Haiyang had injured his back.
And based on her words, I quickly came to a conclusion in my mind: a bad back injury = I can't do it!
I need to hurry and tell Xiao Cheng, because she'll need to keep digging for information when I get back!
Aunt Cao's short legs moved swiftly; she, Cao Cuilian, had to maintain her reputation as the most well-informed person in the compound!
No one can surpass her!
...
Aunt Cao spent the whole afternoon sitting in the front yard, the gossip hotspot, chatting with people while squatting for others.
When Liu Xiaohong and her daughter, who had been wandering around outside for a while, returned pretending to be discharged from the hospital, Aunt Cao's eyes lit up immediately.
Here she comes, here she comes, she finally managed to squat down!
Bao Dayan was also hospitalized today, so she must know about Zheng Haiyang's situation!
She skipped over to the mother and daughter, and asked with concern,
"Big Swallow, oh dear, you've suffered a lot. Now you can be discharged from the hospital. Was your injury serious?"
Bao Dayan: "..."
She looked completely bewildered. When did she become so close to Aunt Cao?
However, she quickly realized her current persona and immediately leaned weakly against Liu Xiaohong, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm still a little dizzy. I just thought that since I'm in the hospital anyway, I'll be lying in bed at home too, so I asked my mom to take me home. After all, we don't earn money easily, so every penny saved counts."
Liu Xiaohong also looked distressed, "Oh dear, that's right! Staying in the hospital for one night is ridiculously expensive, we can't afford it! This child is sensible, she insisted on being discharged, and I couldn't persuade her otherwise!"
It must be said that this mother and daughter have a very good understanding.
Aunt Cao pursed her lips, thinking to herself that it's not easy for others to earn money, but you guys are different. You made ten yuan in one go, and she was so envious.
She's already earned ten yuan for nothing, yet she can't bear to let her daughter stay in the hospital for even one night. Liu Xiaohong is truly an oddball.
However, Aunt Cao wouldn't say it out loud, since she didn't really care about Bao Dayan anyway.
She gave a casual reply, then immediately got to the point, winking and whispering,
"Da Yan'er, I heard Zheng Haiyang injured his back. Will that affect his sexual function? Is he impotent? You're in the hospital too, so you must know more about the inside story. Tell me quickly."
Bao Dayan's eyes flickered, but instead of answering yes or no, she asked first, "Auntie, who told you that?"
Aunt Cao chuckled, "Chang Dafeng said it herself, otherwise how would we know!" The back injury Chang Dafeng mentioned was exactly what she had guessed!
Bao Dayan was taken aback. What was wrong with this old shrew surnamed Chang? She had already bribed her to shut up, so why was she now siding with the people in the courtyard?
However, she quickly realized that since Chang Dafeng herself had already said it, what secret was there for her to keep?
Bao Dayan wished Zheng Haiyang's reputation would be as bad as possible.
Without the slightest hesitation, she spilled everything she'd heard in the hospital.
"Good heavens, so Zheng Haiyang is really done for?!" Aunt Cao covered her mouth in shock, but her two short eyebrows almost flew to the sky, making her look quite ridiculous.
"Auntie, you can't say I told you!"
Aunt Cao made a solemn promise, "I won't tell anyone, I definitely won't tell anyone else!" Her eyes darted around a few times, and then she suddenly clapped her hands, "Oh my god, I have to hurry and chat with my old friends!" With that, she skipped back to her gossip haunt.
Bao Dayan watched Cao Dama's excited back and a calculating smile appeared on her lips. Cao Dama was a gossip, and she didn't believe that this person would not tell others.
Hmph, let's see if Zheng Haiyang's reputation isn't ruined this time?
Liu Xiaohong frowned. "Da Yan'er, Chang Dafeng gave us twenty yuan as hush money. If your words get out, won't she come after us for it back?"
Bao Dayan snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll give it to her just because she wants it?"
Bao Dakeyan felt no guilt whatsoever about not keeping her promise after receiving hush money from Chang Dafeng, since she wasn't the one who said it first.
Since the money is already in her hands and in her pocket, there's no way she'll take it out!
...
"Zheng Haiyang is really finished. This has been confirmed by his old flame, Bao Dayan. There's no mistake about it!" an older woman said confidently.
In this way, the news that Zheng Haiyang was incapacitated spread like wildfire throughout the compound without Chang Dafeng's knowledge, and even the young children knew that Zheng Haiyang was incapacitated.
Although they didn't know what "can't" really meant, Zheng Haiyang was simply not good enough, and that sentence was deeply etched into their young minds.
Maybe they're just as bad at throwing toys or catching pebbles...?
Zheng Haihua, the youngest son of the Zheng family, wanted to play with the children in the compound, but he was rejected every time he tried to team up with them.
After another invitation to play, a dark-skinned, thin boy frowned and refused, "No, you can't play. Your older brother is no good, so you definitely can't either. What if you're on my team and drag me down with you?"
"Waaaaaah..."
Zheng Haihua finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, wiping her snot and tears as she went home to find her mother.
Waaaaah, my brother's no good, none of these people want to play with him anymore!
Why can't my brother do it?!
