Zeng Youcai cursed loudly: "Bullshit! I came here specifically for you, I just can't stand you! What does this have to do with your village!"
Stop with the nonsense! If you know what's good for you, hand over the money right now! If it weren't for you, I'd be doing just fine, and this wouldn't have happened to me!
Cheng Yue suppressed a laugh; it was truly a case of dogs fighting and getting all mixed up.
As expected, Zeng Youcai really did mess up Chen Ping's job and caused him to lose it. As for the baby in her belly, it was probably an accidental injury.
The villagers watching didn't know what was going on, but they were very dissatisfied with Zhao's words and said one after another: "Zhao, your son-in-law said that he came for you, why do you have to drag us into it?"
Whether it's pooping or peeing, it's all over your heads, so don't say it out loud and disgust us!
"Exactly! Who knows what you did to make your family like this? Your own son has cut ties with you, and now your son-in-law is coming to your door."
"It's gotten this bad, and you don't even reflect on yourselves, wondering if you did something wrong? Why is everyone else doing fine, but you guys have to cause so much trouble!"
Cheng Yue thought to herself, "This old lady is a master of PUA! She's so good at talking!"
Zeng Youcai scoffed upon hearing this, and Zhao was immediately speechless, her crying cries fading away. Was this still one of their own from the village?
It's one thing to speak up for Chen An and Cheng Yue normally, but now they're even helping Zeng Youcai?
The village head took a deep breath. Zhao wanted to drag the whole village into this, but Zeng Youcai slapped her in the face. Even the villagers couldn't stand it anymore. It was clear that Zhao's family had completely lost face.
As someone once said, the trouble was specifically targeting Chen Ping's family. This is a family matter, so even if he is the village head, what can he say?
Moreover, Zeng Youcai is just a son-in-law, and neither Zhao Shi nor Chen Ping can manage him, so how could he?
However, since Zeng Youcai had caused such a disturbance in their village, he couldn't remain silent, so he could only offer a warning:
"I don't care what grudges you have, and I can't make decisions for you. Just this: if someone dies, none of you will escape!"
Chen Ping and Zhao Shi's eyes widened. Was the village head abandoning them to their fate? What did he mean by "not taking charge"? What did he mean by "causing someone to die"?
"My precious grandson is gone! That was a life too!" Zhao began to wail again.
Zeng Youcai spat, "What nonsense about human lives! It wasn't even born a pool of blood! A death? That bitch died? You died? Or Chen Ping died?"
He looked down on Zhao Shi from the bottom of his heart. How could such an old shrew want to be his mother-in-law?
Since things have already turned ugly, he'll say whatever he can to utter the most offensive things!
As for causing someone's death, he's not stupid! With the family in such a state now, and all the money gone, he doesn't want to risk his life too!
Provoked, Zhao shouted, "Zeng Youcai, you beast! If you hadn't pushed my eldest daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have lost her child! Give me back my grandson's life!"
Her new daughter-in-law came from a prominent family, and all her children were intelligent. Chen You was already very good at studying, and the one in her belly would definitely be even more outstanding. This was the hope of their whole family, and now it was gone! She couldn't swallow this insult!
"It's their own fault for losing the baby. Who told that woman to keep nagging and overestimating herself!"
"She's definitely a kept woman, all flirtatious and trying to seduce me. Does she think she can get away with not paying me back?"
He was having a good talk with Chen Ping when that woman insisted on coming over, trying to persuade Chen Ping while also flirting with him. If it were before, he would have gladly accepted it. Even if he was no longer a man, he would still feel good lashing her a few times!
But all he wants now is money; even the most beautiful woman is nothing to him!
Chen Ping was furious. "Nonsense! How could Arou seduce you! You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"
What a ridiculous joke! Ah Rou is inseparable from him, how could she seduce Zeng Youcai! Besides, Zeng Youcai has a face full of fat and is short and stout, how can she be compared to him?
The conversation was packed with information. Even though Chen Ping didn't believe it, the villagers who were watching over it heard it. They wouldn't let go of such gossip.
“What Zeng Youcai said makes sense! They’ve already made a scene at his doorstep, who knows how much money Chen Ping owes him?”
That woman, who's being kept as a mistress, probably isn't a good person. It's not unreasonable for her to want to seduce Zeng Youcai..."
"Didn't Zhao just say that Zeng Youcai even got Chen Ping out of his job? It's hard to say whether it was because that woman felt there was no hope left with Chen Ping and wanted to find someone else?"
"Those who can be kept outside are not good people either; they can be replaced at will!"
"Oh dear! Do you think the baby in your belly is Chen Ping's? Don't be a cuckold!"
"What's so strange about that? It's not like it's the first time! Have you all forgotten about Li Manying?"
As they spoke, everyone looked at Chen Ping with increasingly strange expressions, occasionally making clicking or tsk-tsk sounds.
Hearing these words, Chen Ping's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. His reputation was completely ruined!
But none of that matters. How dare these people talk about his Arou like that! Arou is the kindest and most understanding woman in the world! What do these ignorant and foolish villagers know!
Zeng Youcai said with a sneer, "Chen Ping, listen to this. Everyone else can see it clearly, so why are you acting like you're blind? Are you destined to be a green-haired turtle?"
Chen Ping's eyes turned red. "Shut up!"
Zeng Youcai clearly didn't want to shut up, and continued, "Some people's brains are all in crooked ways, no wonder they can't even tell what kind of woman they have!"
Otherwise, how come they have such sharp eyes when stealing jewelry from shops to sell! They only pick the inconspicuous pieces?
He just wanted to expose all of Chen Ping's dirty secrets. Anyway, Chen Ping had lost his job and his reputation was ruined. Let's see who would dare to hire him in the future.
If he can't find a job, he'll just rot in this wretched village for the rest of his life. Even if he can't get any money, he'll make sure that the villagers can't hold their heads up and that everyone looks down on him!
These words were like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, instantly causing an explosion.
"Good heavens! Two taels of silver a month is already good enough, but they're still not satisfied and actually dare to steal?"
"How could there be such a parasite in our village! No wonder Chen Gen was able to get into the government office; he learned it all from his father!"
Like father, like son! Didn't you see Chen Shu from his family is back too? He's probably a habitual thief too!
"Chen Ping's father was such a good man, how could he have given birth to such a shameless bastard! He's ruined the reputation of our village!"
"Look at Chen An, they were born to the same father, how come there's such a big difference?"
"What's there to say? One takes after the father, and the other after the mother!"
Zhao shifted nervously, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! My son lost his job because of you! It was all your fault!"
Seeing the villagers pointing and whispering about Chen Ping, Chen Ping, having already achieved his goal, was too lazy to say anything more.
Chen Ping was so angry that his eyes were about to burst; he wished he could skin Zeng Youcai alive!
If he hadn't caused trouble and said random things, would Manager Jiang have suspected him? Would he have found something to use against him?
If he hadn't sold his house in the county town to cover the losses, even with his father's kindness, the landlord wouldn't have let him off the hook, and he would probably be in jail by now!
Zhao was furious and could only stare blankly. Chen Gen was dejected. It was all over. He had lost his fame, his wife, and his reputation!
Chen Shu, however, was filled with resentment. It was all his father's and that wretched woman's fault. If it weren't for supporting them, would his father have resorted to stealing? Would he have dragged him into this mess?
