Chen Chong wasn't going to tolerate Zou Taohua. He sneered a few times, "Want me to help you remember? We've been done with each other for a long time. When we broke off the engagement, you didn't even try to discuss it with me. You even came up with a bunch of reasons to slander me and refused to return the betrothal gifts! Afterwards, you even threatened that we had nothing to do with each other anymore, and if I dared to cause you any more trouble, you'd break my legs!"
He didn't even want to look at Zou Taohua twice, and then said to the police officer, "Officer, I don't know her. Just do your job according to the rules!"
Those around immediately understood. There was no way around it; everyone has a gossipy nature. The more gossip one has, the more one gains an ability: the ability to keenly discern gossip.
"I see it now, this woman is shameless! When he was poor, she looked down on him and wanted to cut ties with him. Now that she sees he's doing well, she wants a piece of the pie and is eagerly coming over! It's not even a matter of being his fiancée, she's really shameless!"
"Isn't she the beggar from the street over there? She only recently appeared. Could it be that she doesn't want to live a hard life anymore and wants to live a comfortable life, so she's sticking around here?"
"Most likely! I've seen too many women like this! They keep saying they have no choice, but actually, it's all for themselves! They'll do anything that benefits them! They have absolutely no moral bottom line, they're truly shameless!"
"That's right! Officer, we can guarantee that this young man really doesn't have a fiancée! Otherwise, people wouldn't keep trying to set him up with potential partners! There are all sorts of people these days, we can't let these kinds of people ruin our city's reputation!"
"That's right, that's right..."
Only then did Zou Taohua realize she was afraid. Before, she had been immersed in her own beautiful dream, thinking that Chen Chong would treat her well as before and would not be willing to let her go!
Seeing her in such a pitiful state now, I feel extremely guilty and heartbroken, and I will treat her even better!
In the end, it turned out that I had been overthinking things!
Chen Chong had long lost all affection for this kind of selfish and heartless woman. She was materialistic, vain, and hypocritical. He didn't care for her and couldn't afford her!
In the end, Zou Taohua was taken away. No matter how she tried to explain, it was no use. The police had seen this kind of thing many times and didn't believe her at all!
To express her apology and gratitude, Chen Chong gave discounts to everyone who came to buy pancakes.
When others heard this, they all rushed over to buy it. "Don't be a fool if there's a discount!"
Chen Chong didn't mind, and besides, she didn't know who wasn't there, so she gave discounts to everyone who came to buy pancakes later!
When Zou Taohua's parents saw that things were not going well, they did not give up. They felt that it was not their fault. In this day and age, isn't it normal to break off an engagement? Who doesn't want their daughter to marry into a good family?
If the Chen family had the means back then, they would have forced their daughter to marry into the family even if she didn't want to. But the Chen family was just too poor back then, so you can't blame them!
If anyone is really to blame, it's the Chen family for not getting rich sooner and letting the Zou family get rich along with them!
They liked them so much back then, but now they just say they don't like them anymore. Isn't it because the Chen family thinks they're rich now and looks down on their poor family, afraid of being dragged down? All rich families are like that!
Once you get rich, you don't want to acknowledge poor relatives anymore!
The Zou family made numerous excuses for themselves, arguing that the fault lay entirely with the Chen family, not theirs. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became, and they wanted to cause trouble again.
To put it bluntly, they just couldn't bear to give up the Chen family, this lucrative opportunity that would allow them to be pulled out of the mire and live a bright and prosperous life again!
Knowing Chen Chong was ruthless, these people didn't want to go looking for him anymore. They eventually found out about Zhou Qionghua's rice noodle shop and then devised a plan to start their attack on Zhou Qionghua.
The plan was originally quite good. As long as the daughter's innocence was sacrificed, given Zhou Qionghua's personality, it would probably have a certain success rate. However, plans can never keep up with changes.
They probably learned from others and learned to spread rumors, trying to use public opinion to achieve their goals. They were even more uninhibited than the mother and daughter before, crying and complaining to everyone they met, making up things that were not true, all of which were detrimental to Chen Chong!
This also greatly affected Chen Chong, whose character was questioned, and as a result, her pancake business began to decline significantly!
If it happens once, people will think it's an accident, but if the same thing happens again, then people have to rethink what was right and wrong.
Some people wanted to believe Chen Chong, but the facts were there, and they wavered, so they simply chose to remain neutral, observe, and see how things would turn out!
Chen Chong could naturally sense the change, and in his heart he wished he could beat Zou Taohua to death; she was a jinx!
Every time I run into her, nothing good ever comes of it!
Wanting to reap the rewards without putting in any effort? You're dreaming! Why don't you just sleep all day and never wake up?
He also wondered if he had done something wrong when he went to burn incense last time, or if his sincerity was not enough.
Why do I still encounter these awful people?
He wasn't afraid, he was just annoyed!
When the Green Dragon Gang members told Su Nanxi, Su Nanxi didn't even raise an eyelid. "Just learn from what they do, follow their path, and leave them with nowhere to go! There's no point in arguing with them, don't waste your breath!"
The members of the Green Dragon Gang understood and left excitedly.
These kinds of days are much more interesting!
Not only can they have enough to eat, but they can also live under the sun, have a proper job to do, broaden their horizons, and be happy and carefree every day!
Soon, some unpleasant rumors began to circulate in the streets and alleys, most of them about Zou Taohua.
"I knew it! That woman is a slut, she'll do anything! I knew it, when did such a depraved person appear in our city? Turns out she's a refugee! Is what you said true? Does she really have several husbands?"
"Why would I lie to you! There's no food on the way to escape famine. Do you think it's possible that someone might sell their daughter? They might sell her, get the money, and then secretly take her back! They could sell her many times!"
"Aren't those who bought them keeping a close eye on their wives? They spend money to buy a wife, and if she runs away, she's gone!"
"There will always be times when it's inconvenient for them to keep an eye on things, you know! Besides, how would you know those people are doing this? If they can afford to buy a wife, they must have some food on their hands. Shouldn't a normal person choose a family with enough to eat?"
"That's right! We can't defend against it!"
"You can't stop them! I heard from the people who came with them that they would have sex with the person as soon as they bought the goods, just in case the person ran away and they got nothing! But even if they did it every day, they still ran away after a few days! They became very skilled at committing crimes later on. The last time I heard they ran away after only one day, and it took them a long time to be discovered!"
"How disgusting! How could someone so filthy claim to be pure and innocent? Someone who uses themselves as a bargaining chip is nothing but merchandise! Bah!"
"You slut! You're delusional!"
The Zou family was completely stunned by the unexpected turn of events!
