Chen Laoer stood at the door of the old couple's house, peeking into the yard. When he saw Chen Ye go to the kitchen to start cooking, he dared to step out of the old couple's room carefully.
Seeing that Chen Ye really wasn't staring at him, he was delighted and walked towards the gate stealthily. When he was almost there, he quickened his pace and rushed out of the gate.
Chen Ye took a look, lowered her head and continued to busy herself, as if she hadn't noticed Chen Laoer's series of actions just now.
The porridge in the pot was almost done. Chen Ye poured the porridge out of the pot and heard footsteps coming from outside. It sounded like there were quite a few people coming over.
Chen Ye pretended not to hear and carefully stirred the thick porridge in the bowl with a spoon. He also leaned over to help blow it cool. It was not until someone walked through the door that Chen Ye looked over with surprise.
"Captain, village chief, why are you here?" She quickly put down the porridge in her hand and walked outside.
When she reached the door, she saw the villagers following behind her. She hurriedly called out to them one by one, looking confused, as if she didn't know why the villagers had come at this time.
Finally, she looked at Zheng Bing and Wang Weimin, as if asking what was going on?
Then he saw Chen Lao Er behind Zheng Bing. Chen Ye was very happy and asked, "Second Uncle, what were you doing just now?"
"I've already prepared dinner but I can't find you. Are you going to eat with grandma and grandpa? Or are you going back to your room to eat like before?"
He acted as if he was going to tell me where to eat and I would bring it to you right away. It was obvious that he used to do this often.
The villagers and the people who came to watch the fun began to talk: "Chen Laoer is really a piece of shit. Ye Zi used to serve their family a lot, and now he has to take his meals into the house. Can't he walk with his legs?"
Chen Ye now has the image of an honest man. Facing Chen Ye's somewhat dull eyes, Chen Laoer himself even suspected that he was dreaming about the beating he received this morning.
But the pain in his body reminded him that it was definitely not a dream but real. He was still a little shivering, but after looking at the two huge mountains standing in front of him, he straightened up instantly.
"Stop talking nonsense, you little bitch, why are you pretending?"
"Captain, village chief, this damn girl beat me up and abused my parents. If you don't believe me, go in and take a look."
"This damn girl is a poisonous snake. She even wants to kill me."
No one in the village believed what Chen Laoer said.
"Is this Chen Lao Er crazy? He's crazy in broad daylight? What nonsense is he talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Ye Zi is such a filial child. She would rather not eat herself and give all the food she saves to the old couple. Is this still considered mistreating the elderly?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Look at Ye Zi, she's so skinny she looks pathetic. Life is much better now than it was a few years ago. What other child could be this thin?"
"If we talk about unfilial piety, Chen Er and Chen Lao Da dare to claim second place, no one dares to claim first place. Look, the old couple in the Chen family have been lying on the kang for a year, right?"
An old lady pondered for a moment: "It's already been a year. I remember last year, when the spring plowing was about to start, Old Chen fell and couldn't get up."
"That's right. It's been almost a year, and Boss Chen hasn't come back to visit once, right?"
"No, Boss Chen left that year and never came back."
"Let's not talk about Big Boss Chen. He's so far away that we can't rely on him and can't say anything. But Second Boss Chen lives in the county town, so he's pretty close. How many times has he come back this year?"
Several old ladies gathered together and picked at their fingers: "I think I saw it once, before the New Year."
"I saw him once too. It seemed to be when Old Man Chen had just fallen. After the old lady fell ill, she never saw Old Man Chen again."
The woman who was doing the math raised her finger and said, "Including today, he's only been back three times, and he always left the same day, never stayed overnight. How dare he say that Ye Zi, who takes care of two elderly people every day, is unfilial?"
"Of course, they also said that his parents are very thin. Who wouldn't be thin now? Just look at how thin Ye Zi has become."
"Besides, the eldest and second oldest Chens don't give a penny. How can Ye Zi, a half-grown child, support the family? The fact that the two elders of the Chen family didn't starve to death is all thanks to Ye Zi's ability."
"Exactly. Do you expect a child of around ten to be fat and plump for two elderly people? Ye Zi is already capable enough to earn her own food, but she still has to support two elderly people. Isn't it normal for her to be thin?"
Chen Ye was bewildered and looked at everyone at a loss, as if she didn't understand why her second uncle could say that to her.
Many aunties and sisters felt distressed when watching this. The Chen family was really inhumane. If they couldn’t raise you, they would have given birth to a child at all. Even after giving birth to a child, they didn’t raise it well.
This child grew up eating food from many families, and they treated the child like this. The two old people were paralyzed on the kang, but the child still took care of them every day.
If you can't trust the child, you, Chen Laoer, should come back to take care of him. If not, you should take your parents to the county town to live a good life. You rely on a child for everything, and then let the child take the blame for mistreating the elderly.
This is such a piece of shit.
Zheng Bing's face turned even darker. He had just scolded Chen Laoer for being a worthless person yesterday, and today Chen Laoer framed him again.
What? Did this kid dig up their ancestral graves? They don't even want to leave their child with a good reputation. A girl's reputation is so important. They're trying to force Ye Zi to death.
"Chen Lao Er, you need to have evidence for what you say. You can't just say whatever you want. Think carefully. If what you say today has no basis at all, what will happen to you?"
Chen Laoer felt very aggrieved. What he said was absolutely the truth, so why didn't these people believe it? Even though this girl looked like a quail now, she had a cruel heart and vicious hands. She beat him so hard that he was still in great pain.
By the way, why doesn’t he have any evidence? He must be covered with wounds. Thinking of this, he didn’t care that they were outside and just lifted up his clothes to let everyone see the wounds on his body.
When he did this, the young wives screamed and covered their eyes. Chen Ye almost laughed when he saw it. Why don’t you sew that finger up? What’s there to see in an old man?
Chen Ye looked at Chen Laoer. It's true that Chen Laoer has a good appearance. Otherwise, a country boy like him would never be liked by a girl in the county town and become her son-in-law.
But this guy is not very hardworking. He is only in his thirties but his body is covered with fat. Look at his belly, it is quite white, but the flesh shakes when he moves, and it is very loose.
Chen Ye tried hard to think about the sad things before he suppressed the smile that was about to come out of his mouth.
