Is this... a man who combs his hair?
After a moment of hesitation, Hua Rongyin stopped shouting and only sobbed softly. His sobbing made him look even more miserable and pitiful.
"Uncle, since the owner of this shop has been unfaithful to your son and left him to marry another woman, why don't you report her to the government so that the county magistrate can make the decision for you?" Ye Fan, the leader of the hair-combed men, said earnestly.
Sue, sue, sue your ass!
Back then, it was just a verbal agreement between him and Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun. If he had the formal engagement letter from Hua Qingcheng to Jiang Yuchun, he would naturally have filed a lawsuit against Hua Qingcheng. Why would he need an outsider to remind him?
However, no matter how she complained in her heart, Hua Rongyin still showed gratitude to Ye Fan.
"Thank you, brother, for speaking a fair word for my father and me. However, we are relatives to the boss after all. If it comes to a lawsuit, it will be a loss of face for them." Hua Rongyin wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed.
"Alas, in this world, kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden. This is generally what it means. Being born a man, we are inherently at a disadvantage, and there are too many helplessness. Fortunately, we don't rely on women to live." Ruo Bai, a man who combs his hair, also said leisurely.
Hua Rongyin's heartbroken look because her son was abandoned by a heartless woman made all the men who wore their hair tied up sad and cry.
Of course, there were exceptions among the men who wore their hair themselves, such as Hua Wuque, who showed no sympathy for Hua Rongyin. But his bright eyes, as he looked at her, were filled with contempt and disdain. While others didn't know Hua Rongyin's true identity, Hua Wuque knew it all.
As the "Tofu Lady" of Huaqiao Village, Hua Wuque knew all the village gossip. Every day, as the women lined up at his tofu stall, they would gossip about everything, and even if he wasn't paying close attention, he'd still catch a glimpse.
The daughter of the scholar's family had indeed been engaged to her uncle's son Jiang Yuchun by verbal agreement, but the marriage was cancelled when Jiang Yuchun was one month old, although he was not sure of the specific reason.
However, what did all this have to do with Hua Wuque? He had been forced to marry Hua Fugui, and Hua Qingcheng hadn't helped him. So now that someone was causing trouble at Hua Qingcheng's shop, he just wanted to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
"Old guard, those two people are obviously here to cause trouble, go and catch them!" Li Si came to the door of the store and said anxiously to Wu Chen, who was sitting in front of the door watching the fun with great interest.
"What's the hurry? The show is going brilliantly!" Wu Chen stroked his shiny bald head and asked in a scoundrelly, gossipy tone, "Is your boss really so heartless as to abandon that gossipy man's son?"
"Of course not! Our boss is a very good man. He is very nice to my mother, father, husband, and even the guys in the store." Li Si immediately retorted.
"Besides, this is not the point. The point is, old guard, you are the treasure of our store. Now is the time for you to show your skills..." Li Si touched his burning face and continued to persuade Wu Chen to take action quickly to stop these two people from destroying the reputation of the boss and the store.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Wu Chen glanced at the five finger marks on Li Si's face left by Hua Rongyin, and his beautiful starry eyes suddenly turned cold.
Very good!
How dare you hit the person he was protecting right under his nose...
"Foolish. Thinking of you so much, I write this poem with great pain. Lost in the dust, the cold night, the empty branches."
"hehe……"
"I never thought that there are people in this world who are as deeply in love as I am."
"Old man! Since that woman is unfaithful and has abandoned her husband to marry another, just let your son take her back. There's no point crying here!" Han Shuying, who was wearing a crimson dress, sneered disdainfully as she passed by the door of Jinghuayuan snack bar.
"You, you, you... who are you calling old man? I'm only thirty-four, eleven months, and twenty-nine days old. I'm not even thirty-five! How can you call me old man?"
Hua Rongyin, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly stopped sobbing. She looked shocked and looked at a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties in disbelief.
"hehe……"
"Can't you afford a mirror? If you don't have a mirror, you can always get a basin of clean water, right?"
Han Shuying glanced at Hua Rongyin with disdain. (This face actually looks a few years younger than her???)
"What...what do you mean?" Hua Rongyin asked in confusion.
"Of course I want you to look at your own face. You are just an old man!" Wu Chen, who was sitting at the door of the shop, spat out the toothpick in his mouth with a "Puh" sound.
After watching the excitement for a while, Wu Chen finally couldn't stand the nagging of Li Si and others, and spoke in a rude tone.
“Hahahahahaha…”
The crowd of onlookers immediately burst into laughter.
"You, you, you...you are going too far!" Hua Rongyin, who was sitting on the ground, was so angry that her face turned red and then white.
"When the time comes, you have to take action. Fate is something you have to fight for, not just sit there and wait!" Han Shuying said slowly.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Han Shuying's casual words once again stirred up waves in Wu Chen's heart.
Should he…should he try harder, take action when the time is right? Should he make it a done deal with his good sister, becoming her sixth husband, or should he just abduct her regardless of the consequences…
At this moment, Wu Chen felt that his brain was not enough. He was unwilling and conflicted. He wanted to stay with his "good sister" forever, but he couldn't bear to hurt her heart...
After countless struggles flashed through his mind, Wu Chen finally gave up Han Shuying's proposal. Rather than letting his "good sister" feel sad, he should bear it...
"Do you think we haven't fought for it? We went to their house last month to argue, but Hua Qingcheng's concubines were too much. They actually arrested my father and me and threw us out the door. There was also a cold-faced evil spirit in black who locked us up for a whole day and night."
Recalling what happened to herself and her son on the day Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige got married, Hua Rongyin's words were filled with a hint of grievance.
Wu Chen, who was originally watching the fun with great interest, suddenly turned cold when he heard the words, and then he pulled Li Si over.
"Your boss...her...what's her name? Where is she from?"
Looking at the old guard's sudden change of expression, Li Si was stunned.
"Speak!" Seeing Li Si standing there in a daze, Wu Chen simply grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Hua...Hua...Hua Qingcheng, from Huaqiao Village."
"Bang!"
It was the sound of Li Si falling to the ground. Then Li Si saw that the old guard who was originally in front of him had actually jumped in front of Hua Rongyin and Jiang Yuchun who were sitting on the ground in an instant.
"You... are Hua Qingcheng's betrothed? You... are Hua Qingcheng's father-in-law?"
Wu Chen first looked at the stunned Jiang Yuchun with jealousy, and then looked at Hua Rongyin, who was also stunned, with an unfriendly look.
