Zhao Youcai frowned.
This is a county town, not Zhao Family Village. I don't know many people in this county town.
He stood up with his hands behind his back and walked to the door. He looked out through the crack in the door and his eyebrows furrowed instantly.
Chen Tingting?
What's wrong with this woman?
Why does it linger like a ghost?
Zhao Youcai turned and walked away, showing no intention whatsoever of opening the door for her.
Chen Tingting's hands were red from pounding, and her arms were numb from the vibrations.
There was light coming from the courtyard, which meant Zhao Youcai must be there. But surely he couldn't be so hard of hearing as to not hear a knock that was louder than thunder?
Chen Tingting immediately realized that something was wrong, and her expression became much more serious.
She pressed her face against the door, peering through the crack, and that one glance nearly made her explode with anger.
There, Zhao Youcai, that old man, had cotton stuffed in his ears and was leisurely watering the bok choy in the yard with a watering can!
As more and more people passed by, Chen Tingting's expression grew increasingly grim.
I don't know what she was thinking, but she started crying through the door.
"Old Zhao, you promised to give me and my unborn child a home, so why did you suddenly move to the county town?"
"I followed you selflessly at such a young age, even to the point of breaking ties with my whole family. How could you bear to just throw me away like a rag and abandon me?"
After all, Zhao Youcai was an outsider in this county. People around him didn't know much about him to begin with, and after learning that he had an excellent relationship with Boss Qi and that he was particularly good at selling watches, there were quite a few people who were jealous of Zhao Youcai.
Now that the opportunity to embarrass Zhao Youcai has finally arrived, of course I have to stay here to watch the show and even chime in to support him.
The noise outside was so loud that even though Zhao Youcai tried to plug his ears, he couldn't stop the sound from reaching them.
Although Captain Qi's cousin lives next door, the young couple went to the wife's parents' house today, so no one was home.
With so many people gathered around my door watching the commotion, and no back door or anything, I can't even get out to report it to the police.
If I just hide in the yard like this, who knows what other nasty things people outside might say.
If I wait until tomorrow to go out, no matter what I do, people will call me a coward behind my back. Otherwise, why would I be so guilty as to let a girl stand at the door crying and making a scene?
It’s so annoying!
Zhao Youcai put the kettle on the ground, walked back to the door with a stern face, looked around with an imposing air, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Tingting.
"With all this commotion, does your backer know about this? I guess I need to find some time to talk to Director Zhu and ask his secretary why he's slandering an old man like me."
Chen Tingting looked at Zhao Youcai with adoration. In the eyes of the onlookers, Zhao Youcai was a complete scumbag who played with the feelings of young girls.
I don't know which kind-hearted fool didn't have a brain, but he rushed over and started cursing at Zhao Youcai.
"You call yourself a man? How dare you bully a woman in front of so many of us!"
After speaking about Zhao Youcai, the man looked at Chen Tingting, his tone softening considerably.
"Don't worry, comrade. With so many of us here as witnesses, that bastard can't cause any trouble."
"That's right! I've already had my son call the police, and they'll be here soon!"
One second Chen Tingting was looking at the man who stood up for her with gratitude, the next second she was so frightened that her body trembled violently.
I caused a scene at Zhao Youcai's watch shop today and just got a lecture from the police. If they take me away again, will I even be able to leave the police station today?
She just wanted to squeeze some benefits out of Zhao Youcai; ultimately, it was all about money. She had no intention of going to jail or having a criminal record.
Chen Tingting waved her hand in a slightly flustered manner, then stumbled and fell in front of the woman who had told her to have her son call the police.
"Kind lady, please don't call the police. I don't want him to get hurt, after all..."
At this point, Chen Tingting reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with pain and confusion.
"If something happens to him, how will my child and I survive?"
The woman who had just been yelling about calling the police immediately shut up.
As a woman herself, she knew all too well how difficult it was for a woman with no one to rely on to raise a child alone.
yes.
This man is indeed despicable, but how innocent is this woman with a child in front of him?
"But I have to give you an explanation for this, don't I? Since you don't want things to get too ugly, how about I have someone bring my son back and have him go to the women's director of the neighborhood office to back you up?"
Zhao Youcai was driven crazy by this group of well-meaning people.
The fact that someone with such a brain can still live a good life in a county town only proves how simple and honest the local customs are.
Don't you all think carefully about what's so great about an old man like him?
What decent girl would ignore so many young, handsome, powerful, and wealthy men and instead seduce an old peasant like herself?
In other words, even if someone is after your money, with so many sons in the family, why can't they seduce any of them?
"Call the police! This must be reported to the police!"
Zhao Youcai stood coldly at the door with his arms crossed. "Don't glare at me like that. This old man has really seen something today. A young woman came to my door to act like a hooligan and complain about me!"
The more self-righteous Zhao Youcai became, the angrier the onlookers grew.
Several burly men with bad tempers immediately rushed out and swung their fists, each the size of a sandbag, in Zhao Youcai's direction.
Zhao Youcai glanced at the other person, stretched out his hand to block instantly, and even took the opportunity to dislocate the other person's arm.
hehe.
Do you really think that the muscle-relaxing pills he takes every day are fake medicine?
A group of young men attacking an old man like me—is that helping the weak?
Zhao Youcai stared intently at Chen Tingting.
"You little brat, you're a heartless, rotten thing. I, Zhao Youcai, have let you off the hook time and time again, and you really think I'm some kind of horse herder?"
Chen Tingting's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and her pupils suddenly contracted sharply when she met Zhao Youcai's gaze.
She suddenly had a bad feeling that Zhao Youcai wouldn't let her off this time.
Just then, the women's director was dragged out of her house with a spatula in her hand, and she kept crying out in distress.
"Hey! What's the rush? My dish will be ready soon! Let me go, or it'll burn!"
Unfortunately, the well-meaning people didn't give the women's director that chance at all; instead, they snatched the spatula from her hand.
"I've come to your house and cooked it for you, then I've put it on the table. You need to go deal with this important matter quickly, or someone will die!"
