Chapter 32 Top-Tier PUA Master
Outside, Aunt Chang was biting people wildly, drawing criticism from the crowd.
Inside the room, Zheng Haiyang heard everything clearly. His face was gloomy, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, damn it!"
They're all snobbish and look down on people!
Seeing that he was injured and thought he was no longer capable, these people no longer respected his family.
One by one, they all came out to criticize his mother. So what if his mother was in a bad mood and spoke a little harshly?
Their family is already so unlucky, why can't they be more understanding?
They always talk about neighborly affection, what a hypocrite!
Especially Aunt Guan, that pretentious old woman, actually used to step on his mother to create her own persona, she deserves to die the most!
These people are all blind; they can't even see Aunt Guan's malicious intentions, and they've all joined in criticizing his mother.
They must be worried about their own injury and the possibility of becoming disabled, that's why they don't respect his family! That must be it!
Zheng Haiyang angrily pounded the bed.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Jiang Qiubai, who was carrying a teacup of water, happened to see this scene and his neck shrank back.
Ever since learning where his back injury might affect, Haiyang Ge has become increasingly gloomy, his eyes filled with a sinister look that sometimes even frightens her.
He had been hoping those treasures would cheer him up, but now...
Jiang Qiubai felt bitter at the thought. It was all her fault. She hadn't found out the details before taking her mother-in-law there, which resulted in her being beaten and made Haiyang worry!
Although her mother-in-law and Haiyang didn't blame her, they didn't really pay attention to her either, treating her like she was invisible. She couldn't even stand up straight in this family.
Jiang Qiubai forced a smile, walked to the bedside, and said gently, "Brother Haiyang, I made you a cup of brown sugar water. Drink it while it's hot to warm yourself up."
Upon seeing Jiang Qiubai, Zheng Haiyang's eyes flickered. He then affectionately took Jiang Qiubai's hand and whispered, "Qiubai, I'm sorry for making you suffer. If I hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have let you dig for that treasure, and you wouldn't have gotten hurt!"
He suppressed his disgust and stroked the bruises on Jiang Qiubai's face, asking with concern, "Does it hurt a lot here?"
How long has it been?!
How long has it been since Haiyang spoke to me like this?
His gentle words instantly brought tears to Jiang Qiubai's eyes.
She knew it, she knew it, her Ocean Brother still cared about her!
She fought back tears, pursed her lips, and feigned resilience, "Brother Haiyang, I... I'm not wronged! As long as you can understand me, I won't feel wronged!"
So many things have happened in the past few days. The heartlessness of her family, the blame from her mother-in-law and husband, are like stones pressing on Jiang Qiubai's heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
But as long as Brother Haiyang can understand her, know her difficulties, and stand with her, she will be afraid of nothing.
Zheng Haiyang lowered his eyes, "It's all my fault! It's all because I'm incompetent that you suffered so much!" He suddenly grabbed Jiang Qiubai's hand and slapped it against his own face, "Qiubai, hit me, hit me, that way it'll even things out with my mom hitting you before."
Jiang Qiubai was startled and hurriedly withdrew his hand, hiding it behind his back.
"No, no, Brother Haiyang, it's not that you're incompetent, it's my fault, it's all my fault!"
Jiang Qiubai bit her lip and shook her head quickly. She said anxiously, "Mom was just worried about your health, that's why she was so anxious. How could I hit her? If I hit an elder over such a small thing, what would I be? Would I be such an unfilial person? You know me, you know me, I treat us like my own mother. Would I be such an unfilial person?"
Jiang Qiubai was almost in tears and kept comforting Zheng Haiyang.
Zheng Haiyang acted as if he couldn't hear, frantically pounding his legs, "Ah! It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you and Mom! I made you suffer!"
Jiang Qiubai quickly stopped her, her eyes filled with tears, shaking her head like a rattle drum, "No, no, Brother Haiyang, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, how could it be your fault? It's me, it's my greed, it's that I didn't find out the situation clearly, it's me who harmed my mother-in-law and myself!"
She held Zheng Haiyang's hands tightly, her heart aching. "Haiyang-ge, you blame me, you blame me! Haiyang-ge, please don't blame yourself!"
Zheng Haiyang lowered his eyes and said softly, "How could I blame you? Qiu Bai, you know my situation. I might be a cripple in the future! If you want to leave, then leave. You're still so young, I don't want to hold you back!"
Jiang Qiubai's face turned pale. She stood up abruptly, looking at Zheng Haiyang in disbelief, only to find that he did not meet her gaze.
Jiang Qiubai excitedly shouted, "No, no! Brother Haiyang, I won't leave! We're married, this is my home, I won't leave!"
"No matter what you become, Haiyang, we're still husband and wife. We'll stand together through thick and thin! Don't even think about kicking me out!"
Zheng Haiyang finally raised his head and gave a desolate, bitter smile. "Silly girl, how could I send you away? I'm just afraid that in the future... Rather than you looking down on me then, it's better to let you go now and at least save face for me."
Jiang Qiubai said anxiously, "How could I? Haiyang, we're husband and wife, we should go through thick and thin together. How could I abandon you? You know I'm not that kind of person. As long as our hearts are closely connected, all difficulties will be temporary. Your injury will heal."
Zheng Haiyang looked at her deeply, seemingly moved, and gently pulled her into his arms, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Okay, then don't regret it!"
Jiang Qiubai finally stopped crying and started laughing.
She leaned on her brother Haiyang's shoulder, laughing through her tears, and said, "What's there to regret? As long as you don't blame me for causing trouble for the family, we'll live a good life from now on and make those who were laughing at us pay attention!"
Zheng Haiyang's eyes flickered. Regret? You'll find out later!
Zheng Haiyang naturally blamed Jiang Qiubai for leaving the work to her younger brother, which caused him to get injured, and for taking his mother to dig for treasure based on rumors, which resulted in them getting beaten up. He wished he could get rid of this stupid woman.
But at the very moment his mother was being criticized by everyone in the compound, Zheng Haiyang finally understood that his current reputation and family situation simply did not allow him to remarry.
Aside from being a bit stupid and biased towards his wife's family, Jiang Qiubai was otherwise quite satisfactory. If he kicked her out, who would do all the housework?
He needs to recover from his injury and go back to work. His mother is too old to work hard, and his younger siblings are too young to be tired. Only Jiang Qiubai can serve his family like a slave.
Furthermore, if she really couldn't have children, wouldn't she have to rely on Jiang Qiubai to "give birth" a son for her?
Even for this reason, he still needs to win over Jiang Qiubai.
Fortunately, this woman didn't improve at all, and my call had a pretty good effect.
After their heart-to-heart talk, Jiang Qiubai felt much more relaxed after confirming Haiyang's feelings for him.
Jiang Qiubai's eyes were red, but her face was full of happiness as she urged, "Brother Haiyang, the brown sugar water isn't too hot anymore, you should drink it!"
Seeing the cup of brown sugar water she brought over out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Haiyang hesitated and said, "Qiu Bai, you should drink that sugar water. What would it look like for a grown man like me to drink something so sweet? People would laugh at me!"
Jiang Qiubai glared at him, a rare occurrence for her, and scolded, "Nonsense! This was specially made to nourish you. Why would I drink it for no reason? It'll help you recover faster. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who outside will know?"
"Well... alright!" Zheng Haiyang hesitated for a moment before taking the teacup, but without pausing, he gulped down the brown sugar in a few mouthfuls.
Jiang Qiubai, smelling the sweet aroma in the air, swallowed hard. She kept telling herself that this was for Haiyang to nourish his body, and she couldn't be so selfish!
It must be said that Zheng Haiyang is quite capable. After his performance, Jiang Qiubai became even more devoted to him and the Zheng family.
Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out the door, she took over the work from Chang Dafeng, saying, "Mom, let me do it, let me do it! You rest!"
A wide smile spread across a bluish-purple face, which was quite terrifying.
Chang Dafeng: "...!!!"
Chang Dafeng was so frightened that she gasped for breath and her heart stopped.
Good heavens! Has that little slut encountered a ghost?!
...
The relationship between Zheng's older brother and sister-in-law is rapidly heating up. Regardless of what's going on inside, the family atmosphere appears harmonious on the surface. Zheng Haicheng, the younger brother, is also pursuing his own love.
At this moment, Zheng Haicheng and Bai Xiaohui were both staring intently at the new bicycle under Ren Yongsheng's butt.
Yes, Ren Yongsheng was showing off again, riding his bicycle around the courtyard. He didn't go anywhere else, just wandered around the second courtyard again and again.
The constant ringing of the bell annoyed Cheng Jiajia so much that she wished she could go out and beat the person up.
As he strolled along, he called out towards the east wing, "Little Cheng, come out and play!"
"Xiao Cheng! Come out here!"
Cheng Jiajia: "!!!"
Damn it, is this guy out of his mind? What kind of lunatic is this?
Ever since I bought this bicycle, I've been dangling it in front of her every day. What's I thinking? Huh?
Has he forgotten that he's already married and has a wife?!
Do you really think you can just dump Yu Junsheng and fall for a lecherous scoundrel like you who can't resist women?!
Don't you even take a piss and see what kind of person you are!
Cheng Jiajia didn't want to talk to this person, but she was afraid that if she didn't go out, he would keep shouting outside.
He could only open the door and force a smile, "Comrade Ren, where's Sister Xiangxiang? I haven't seen her today. You two are such good friends, why hasn't she come over to ride your new bicycle? Don't tell me you're reluctant to let her ride it?"
Then, she looked at Ren Yongsheng with disbelief, "No way, no way, Comrade Ren, you're so generous, and you two have such a good relationship, how could you be so stingy as to not let Sister Xiangxiang ride it?"
Ren Yongsheng's smile froze, then he pouted, "She doesn't know how to ride a bike! If you don't want to come, fine!" With that, he raised his head and smugly turned the handlebars towards the Third Hospital.
And you know what? Cheng Jiajia was right. Ren Yongsheng was just reluctant to let Dong Xiangxiang ride it. She's a country bumpkin who's probably never even seen a bicycle before, so he wouldn't let her ride it.
But at this moment, he could never admit it, otherwise wouldn't he really be the stingy person Cheng Jiajia had described?
He's the most respectable person among the younger generation in the compound, how could he be stingy?
That's absolutely impossible!
Cheng Jiajia looked at Ren Yongsheng, who was beaming with pride in the courtyard, and let out a cold laugh.
Just you wait, I'll make sure you can't ride this piece of junk anymore tomorrow!
Cheng Jiajia was filled with annoyance, while Zheng Haicheng looked on with great envy.
Zheng Haiyang and Bai Xiaohui followed Ren Yongsheng to the entrance of the Third Hospital, looking at him with envy and jealousy as he rode his bicycle with great enthusiasm.
Uh, Bai Xiaohui is envious, while Zheng Haicheng is jealous.
Seeing Bai Xiaohui staring intently, Zheng Haicheng thought sourly, "Hmph, if I were riding that thing, I'd definitely look way cooler than Ren Yongsheng! I'd absolutely seduce Xiaohui!"
But Zheng Haicheng knew about his family's situation; they couldn't afford a bicycle now, so he could only watch Ren Yongsheng with great envy from the yard.
However, this didn't stop him from making grand promises. He immediately said, "Xiaohui, just you wait. When I buy a bicycle, I'll take you for a ride on the back. We'll go for a spin in the park, watch the sunrise on the mountain, and explore the entire northern part of the city together. Everyone in the compound will be so envious."
Bai Xiaohui rolled her eyes inwardly. With your family's current state, you're talking about bicycles!
She doesn't even bother with this person!
Bai Xiaohui looked at Ren Yongsheng with a shy yet envious expression. "Riding a bicycle must be very fast, right? You can go wherever you want. Yongsheng, I really envy you. You can go wherever you want on a bicycle, so free and easy, unlike us who are stuck at home..."
As she spoke, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her tone filled with sorrow, and her eyes reddened, making her look incredibly pitiful. Everyone present felt a pang of sympathy for her.
Zheng Haicheng, the simp, was the first to jump out and comfort the beauty, "Xiaohui, don't be sad. Once I buy a bicycle, I'll take you out to play. You can go wherever you want!"
Even Ren Yongsheng, who originally didn't want to talk to Bai Xiaohui, couldn't say anything unpleasant.
Although she wasn't his type, the sight of a beautiful woman shedding tears always softens one's heart.
Ren Yongsheng couldn't help but raise his head and nod his chin at Bai Xiaohui, who was standing in the corner, "Xiaohui, do you want me to take you for a drive?"
Bai Xiaohui ignored Zheng Haicheng and looked at Ren Yongsheng with surprise, saying, "Brother Yongsheng, is it really possible?"
Zheng Haicheng hurriedly stopped her, "No, Xiaohui, this is not appropriate. It's really inappropriate for you to sit in the back seat of Brother Yongsheng. You know what kind of reputation Brother Yongsheng has. If people see this, they'll gossip."
Bai Xiaohui frowned. "What gossip are you talking about? How can you be so disgusting? Yongsheng and I grew up together. What's wrong with me sitting in the back of his car? What gossip is that? I know nothing about Yongsheng's reputation. Only people with dirty minds see everything as dirty!"
Zheng Haicheng, with his heart intact: "..."
He forgot to argue and said anxiously, "No, Xiaohui, you really can't go out with him!"
Bai Xiaohui couldn't help but roll her eyes at the person.
This person has no tact; no wonder they're disliked!
She urged, "Brother Yongsheng, don't mind him. He just talks without thinking. Let's get going!"
I can't let this idiot ruin the opportunity I've been waiting for!
Ren Yongsheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zheng Haicheng, his tone smug, "Haicheng, your brother just got discharged from the hospital, why aren't you going to take care of him? What are you standing here doing?"
Kid, even your brother can't compare to me, you're still too green!
He pressed the bell, his face beaming with pride, and announced, "Let's go!"
Sitting in the back seat, Bai Xiaohui couldn't help but think smugly that it was worth it for her to go back to her mother for advice after being rejected by Ren Yongsheng yesterday.
After changing our strategy today, we succeeded!
Sure enough, her mother is her mother!
That's amazing!
As for Dong Xiangxiang, humph, others may not know, but she, who lives in the same courtyard, knows that no one in the Ren family likes Dong Xiangxiang. They all wish she would pack her bags and leave as soon as possible. Bai Xiaohui doesn't even take this person seriously!
As long as Ren Yongsheng takes a liking to me, none of this matters!
So Zheng Haicheng watched helplessly as Bai Xiaohui got on the back of Ren Yongsheng's bicycle, and watched as the two of them sped past him in a flash.
He could still hear Bai Xiaohui's clear laughter, "Wow, Yongsheng, you're so fast!"
Zheng Haicheng: "!!!"
Why do I suddenly feel like there's something green on my head?
Zheng Haicheng, his face ashen, kicked the wall twice, spat, and cursed.
"Pah! What is that! It's just a beat-up bicycle, what makes you think you're so great!"
...
That night, under a dark and windy sky, the murder and arson took place.
A figure swayed out of the courtyard, humming an off-key tune as he headed towards the public toilet.
Before long, two figures suddenly darted out from behind, landing at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind the figures.
A short while later, two more figures followed behind.
The four people followed the loitering figure in front of them into the public restroom.
Before Ren Yongsheng could even take off his pants, the two men in front of him rushed forward and dumped a sack over his head.
Then came the punching and kicking.
"Ouch!" Ren Yongsheng screamed in agony.
"Bang bang bang," fists the size of sandbags rained down.
The two people who were squatting not far away exchanged a glance, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Ah, who are these heroes?
Is it that fierce?
This is really...
"Awooo!" Ren Yongsheng howled again, his voice gradually fading away.
The two of them shuddered simultaneously and silently hid themselves even more thoroughly, as it would be too unfair if they, as insignificant little shrimps, were caught in the crossfire.
That's right, these two little shrimps are Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng.
The two of them originally planned to take advantage of Ren Yongsheng getting up at night to put a sack on him.
Ren Yongsheng, this ordinary guy, has been harassing Cheng Jiajia at the Second Hospital every day ever since he bought this bicycle.
If things continue like this, even if Cheng Jiajia has no relationship with Ren Yongsheng, she will still be slandered beyond recognition. In the next few years, when the government is cracking down on issues of male-female conduct, who knows what will happen?
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng decided to teach him a lesson he would never forget, so he would know who he shouldn't mess with.
But to their surprise, as soon as they stepped outside, they saw two other people following Ren Yongsheng.
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, unaware of the situation, tiptoed and followed the two at a distance.
Who would have thought that these two would follow someone all the way to the public restroom and then pounce on them without saying a word, beating them up. And they clearly came at a dangerous number.
This left Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, who were preparing to use underhanded tactics, completely dumbfounded.
The young couple stared intently at that spot, their mouths babbling away.
Cheng Jiajia whispered, "What's going on?"
Yu Junsheng replied in a low voice, "I don't know."
He pondered, "Could it be that Ren Yongsheng was having an affair with someone else's wife and they've come knocking on our door?"
Cheng Jiajia fell silent. You know what, given Ren Yongsheng's character, it's actually quite possible.
"Serves you right!"
Those two guys really went all out!
But that felt so good! Hehe!
This is how a pervert should be taught a lesson!
Seeing that the two men had finished beating up the man and retreated very quickly, Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng exchanged a glance, then ran out together and started punching and kicking Ren Yongsheng again.
Fearing being recognized by Ren Yongsheng, neither of them made a sound, their only thought being: Let's just do it!
The two of them worked hard for a while. Cheng Jiajia was fine, but Yu Junsheng, lacking stamina, was panting heavily from exhaustion.
Still not satisfied, Cheng Jiajia kicked Ren Yongsheng hard in the groin twice more.
I'll teach you to seduce married women and talk nonsense!
Yu Junsheng: "!!!"
Yu Junsheng instantly squeezed his legs together. Sure enough, just as expected!
His wife is truly extraordinary!
I must never, ever offend her again, or I'll be struck by that curse that will cut off my lineage!
After beating the person up, Cheng Jiajia finally vented her anger.
Although I was somewhat regretful that I wasn't the first to strike, I couldn't help but chuckle whenever I thought about Ren Yongsheng's miserable state tomorrow.
Besides, thanks to those last two kicks, this person definitely won't have the mind to bother me lately!
Sure enough, before dawn, the two groggily heard a scream from behind them:
"Ouch! Damn it, who stole our bicycle?!"
"Who? Who is it?!"
Cheng Jiajia's eyes widened, then her expression turned strange. What the heck?!
A bicycle? Not Ren Yongsheng?
But the bicycle is gone too?!
Who was the kind person who did this?
Yu Junsheng, however, paused for a moment before raising an eyebrow meaningfully, "In our courtyard, there are quite a few people who envy those who have and laugh at those who don't!"
Cheng Jiajia also understood.
Nodding in complete agreement, "Exactly! That's why we should keep a low profile!"
Then she looked at Yu Junsheng with sparkling eyes, "There's going to be a good show!"
Yu Junsheng: "Hehe!"
The two of them burst into laughter, looking just like two villains.
After laughing, both of them had a slight doubt in their hearts: had Ren Yongsheng not been discovered yet?
