Chapter 60 He wasn't drunk at all. Lin Jing was so angry she wanted to...
Lin Jing was so angry that she wanted to step forward and slap Su Yu out of his daydream: "What nonsense are you talking about? My brother would be interested in you?"
Originally, everyone present was analyzing the current situation and location, but after Lin Jing said this, they felt it made a lot of sense and all turned their attention to Lin Qing'an.
Although Su Yu is pretty, she is still far inferior to Lin Qing'an. Moreover, the couple is usually so affectionate. Anyone with eyes can see who Chen Gengnian likes.
Wang Shu also thought it was nonsense. Although he was blinded by lust, he was not so foolish as to believe Su Yu's lies.
He glanced furtively at Lin Qing'an, only to see that Lin Qing'an's calm eyes had transformed into a sharp sword, aimed directly at Su Yu's face.
The night was very quiet. There were at least twenty men present, and even a few bold women were standing on tiptoe outside Lin Jing's house, peering in this direction. Yet, the silence was both eerie and harmonious.
"Ah Qing, is that you back?" Chen Yuetao's voice echoed ethereally.
"Yes, Mother, I'm back." Lin Qing'an replied verbally, but her gaze never left Su Yu. Su Yu felt the gaze on her body and felt as if her skin and flesh had been torn apart by a thousand knives.
Chen Yuetao's voice came again, "Ah Qing, you're back, hurry home. Brother Nian got drunk today, he was vomiting and dizzy, so it's good that you're back to help your mother."
Chen Yuetao's words were undoubtedly revealing Su Yu's lies little by little.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu quickly looked at Wang Shu and explained, "It's true, Chen Gengnian is the one who dumped me here."
Lin Qing'an looked at Lin Mazi in front of his own courtyard gate, and combined with the fact that he had just escaped, he had already made a rough judgment in his mind.
Lin Jing followed his gaze and saw Lin Mazi covering his head and sneaking downstairs.
Lin Qing'an suddenly smiled at Su Yu with his beautiful eyes and said, "Is it my brother Nian or that Lin Mazi with yellow teeth? Why don't we just have them checked?"
"I..."
“If my brother Nian is still drunk and unconscious, then you are lying!” Lin Qing’an didn’t give Su Yu a chance to speak and shouted at the top of his lungs, “I’d appreciate it if you folks could come to my house and take a look. This matter is probably not so simple today.”
Without further ado, he reached out and dragged Su Yu home, moving so fast that Su Yu had no time to dodge.
Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly helped Lin Qing'an, while Su Yu struggled desperately and called for Wang Shu.
"Brother Shu, help me... Ah! It hurts..."
Wang Shu pretended not to hear. No matter who it was, Su Yu had already made him lose face completely, and he was going to divorce him!
Having witnessed Lin Qing'an's ferocity before, everyone was now watching with a sense of morbid curiosity, and naturally followed suit.
The large group of people finally arrived at Chen Gengnian's house. Chen Yuetao opened the courtyard gate and saw Lin Mazi returning. There were still bloodstains on his face. When he saw Chen Yuetao, he could only force a smile.
Next came Lin Qing'an and a group of people. Chen Yuetao asked in surprise, "What's wrong? What happened? Why is everyone here?"
Chen Yuetao's demeanor didn't seem feigned. Someone came out to explain, "Auntie, this Wang Shu family's husband said that he was defiled by Brother Nian and thrown to the stone pier at the bottom. So, Sister-in-law said she brought us here to expose his lies."
"What?" Chen Yuetao said angrily, her face turning red and her neck thick. "My brother Nian was drunk this afternoon and has been lying in bed without sobering up. I've been watching over him the whole time, how come I don't know when this person came!"
Chen Yuetao hurriedly explained to Lin Qing'an, "Qing, please don't believe it. Anian would never do anything to betray you."
Lin Qingan nodded to show his belief, gave her a reassuring smile, and then continued to drag Su Yu toward his and Chen Gengnian's room.
As they walked, they said, "Mother, whether it's true or not isn't up to us to decide. Let everyone go in and see for themselves."
The door opened, and a pungent smell of alcohol and an indescribable sourness hit him. Lin Qing'an threw Su Yu on the threshold and strode toward the bed.
Chen Gengnian lay on the bed, his face flushed. Beside the bed was a bucket of vomit. Enduring the unpleasant smell, Lin Qingan squatted down, trying to expose Chen Gengnian to everyone. He gently stroked Chen Gengnian's face, the burning temperature making his hand flinch.
Lin Qingan called Chen Gengnian in a low voice, "Brother Nian... Brother Nian..."
After calling out several times without any response, Wang Shu and several other men entered. Just as they got closer, Chen Gengnian suddenly began to groan in discomfort. Seeing this, Chen Yuetao quickly shouted, "Qing, hurry, he's going to vomit..."
"Ugh~"
Before Chen Yuetao could finish speaking, Chen Gengnian turned his head and vomited.
Just then, Lin Qing'an hurriedly reached out to help Chen Gengnian's head, but before he could react, his outstretched hand was spat on.
The stench was so strong that people who were about to step in stopped in their tracks, and everyone present covered their mouths and noses.
Lin Qingan showed no disgust whatsoever, and used his other hand to support Chen Gengnian's head to prevent the filth from falling back into his mouth.
Chen Yuetao quickly brought over a handkerchief and water, and immediately wiped Lin Qing'an's hands before washing them and wiping away any residue from Chen Gengnian.
The unconscious actions of the family of three moved many of the men present. Recalling the frequent chaos at home, they were filled with envy for the way this family got along.
Su Yu was dragged around uncomfortably, stumbling and crawling all the way. When he got to the room, he couldn't get in. He finally managed to break free from Lin Jing's hand in the chaos and squeezed his head through the crowd. As soon as he saw Chen Gengnian, who was drunk and unconscious, a surge of anger in his heart burst out of his head and turned into a desperate shout.
"He's faking it! He's not drunk at all..."
As soon as the sound came out, some people realized that he was squeezed next to their legs. He was a young man, and this was unacceptable. They all moved aside, making way for him.
Su Yu tried to rush in like a madman, yelling, "Chen Gengnian, don't try to pretend you've gotten away with this! You were perfectly fine just now, wake up... wake up!"
Su Yu had only taken two steps when he was grabbed from behind by Lin Jing. Lin Jing used some force, making him wince in pain.
Lin Qing'an gently placed Chen Gengnian's burning head back on the pillow, got up and walked step by step towards Su Yu. His eyes were like frost, and his tone was cold as he pointed to the corner of the door frame and said, "Su Yu, from beginning to end, only Lin Mazi has touched you. You were afraid of being exposed, so you dragged my brother Nian down with you. Your purpose was to make everyone believe you, so that you could enter my Chen family in a blatant manner."
"I didn't!" Su Yu shook his head and waved his hands frantically. "Every word I said is true, not a single lie!"
Lin Mazi, who had originally intended to slip away quietly, quickly spoke up to defend himself: "Hey! Qing-ge, don't just accuse people without thinking. I haven't settled things with you yet, don't push your luck!"
"Exactly! What did my son, Ma Zi, do to offend you that you have to make up such a story? Is it just because our family is poorer than yours?"
Lin Mazi's father is usually an honest man, but now he is standing firmly on the side of his family.
Lin Mazi has people helping him, and Lin Qing'an naturally has people helping him as well, and more than one.
“My Qing is right. I’ve been taking care of Anian all along. No one has ever come into the house. Besides, you all saw it. My son is still dead drunk. How could he do something bad?” Chen Yuetao stepped forward first, her tone firm and powerful.
Then Lin Jing said, "That's right. We ran into Lin Mazi when we arrived. He turned and ran away. Why would he run away if he hadn't done something wrong? It's also a coincidence that Su Yu was standing on a stone bench not far away, disheveled. What does that mean?"
After Lin Jing finished speaking, everyone seemed to be suddenly awakened and all turned their gazes back and forth between Su Yu and Lin Mazi.
The oil lamp was dim, but the suspicion in the eyes of those present was glaring. Su Yu and Lin Mazi continued to argue, while Wang Shu, who had been standing aside like an outsider listening to the debate, suddenly screamed.
"ah--"
"I'm going to kill you two adulterers!"
Wang Shu had completely collapsed. He picked up the large rock he had been holding from the ground and rushed towards Lin Mazi. Before anyone could react, he raised it high and smashed it down on Lin Mazi.
Bang--
A dull yet loud sound echoed in the dimly lit room. At this moment, Chen Gengnian let out a few uncontrollable moans, which only Lin Qingan heard. He didn't care about these people going crazy and hurried over to take care of Chen Gengnian.
Lin Mazi and Su Yu's final reaction was to cover their heads with their hands to block the pain, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, they were met with the stench of rust.
Lin Mazi opened his eyes and saw that his father had a bloody hole in his forehead, from which blood was spurting out.
Su Yu screamed in fright and hid in a corner, while things got chaotic on Lin Mazi's side.
"Father—" Lin Mazi cried out in terror, rushing over and pressing his hand against his father's head, "Ah, save my father! Please, save my father..."
Everyone then realized what was happening. Some people pulled Wang Shu away, while others helped Lin Mazi support his father. Old Man Lin was in so much pain that he was dizzy and didn't have time to protect his son anymore.
Lin Mazi's father was quickly carried towards the village doctor Shen's house, and in the chaos, one of the people pulling Lin Mazi suddenly shouted, "Lin Mazi smells so good! It smells like a woman's perfume!"
That shout brought everyone to a halt.
"You...you...you're talking nonsense!" Lin Mazi stammered in his panic.
At this moment, Lin Jing hurriedly ran over and, despite her disgust, sniffed Su Yu's clothes. Then she ran over to Lin Mazi's place and sniffed them. It was indeed the exact same scent.
"The two people smell the same."
Lin Jing spoke calmly, yet her words stirred up a storm in the hearts of everyone present.
No one would have imagined that a handsome young man like Su Yu would end up with a lazy bum like Lin Mazi.
In an instant, everyone's expressions toward Su Yu were a mixture of curiosity and disdain.
Wang Shu turned around and glared fiercely at Su Yu. He suddenly broke free from the person holding him. Since the stone in his hand had just been taken away, he could only use all the strength a man could muster to kick Lin Mazi in the body and abdomen.
Lin Mazi was being held back by several men, and Wang Shu, who had the upper hand, vented all his anger on his fists and feet.
When the fight was almost over, everyone tacitly let Lin Mazi go, because it would be difficult for them to handle if something really happened.
The moment he was released, Lin Mazi took off running outside. Wang Shu ignored him, ran over in three quick steps, grabbed Su Yu by the hair, and dragged him out the door.
The performers left, and the audience, having no interest in staying, all turned and followed them out.
Wang Shugang was dragging someone to the door when he bumped into the village chief, who was late.
The village chief lives far away, and everyone was busy beforehand, so no one had time to notify him. They heard the commotion later, but then they were too late to come.
When I arrived, I saw a large crowd of people standing in front of Chen Gengnian's house and on the road. Before I could ask anything, I saw Wang Shu carrying someone out of the courtyard gate.
Seeing Su Yu's face contorted in rage as he was dragged along, the village chief quickly intervened, saying, "What are you doing, Wang Shu? Let's talk this out! This is outrageous!"
Wang Shu remained silent and continued dragging the person down.
Su Yu was dragged up when he came, and then dragged down by his hair. His delicate skin was scratched by pebbles and grass, leaving bloody marks. His cries were so pitiful that they sent chills down one's spine.
As Wang Shu departed, everyone, including the village chief, dispersed, and the Chen family gradually fell into silence.
Chen Gengnian, who was inside the room, opened his eyes painfully, his eyes bloodshot. He looked at Lin Qing'an and called out Lin Qing'an's name with difficulty.
"Ah Qing..."
Lin Qing'an was very close to him. When his hoarse words came out, a burst of hot breath hit his face, carrying a strong smell of alcohol. It was so domineering that Lin Qing'an didn't have time to dodge.
Lin Jing was watching from the side and was about to step forward to ask when Chen Yuetao grabbed her arm and led her outside.
Lin Jing was puzzled, and Chen Yuetao whispered, "A-Nian has taken Chinese medicine..."
Lin Jing then belatedly turned around and saw Chen Gengnian grab Lin Qing'an by the neck and pull her towards him.
