Chapter 44: The Wind Rises
"What?!"
Yuan Lingling was full of questions. She guessed that these people had ill intentions and that the demands they made might be a bit outrageous, but she never expected them to be so outrageous!
"Look, our Taohua has a beautiful appearance and a good personality, but she has never had a child and has been gossiped about. Please be kind and since your man is so capable, lend our Taohua a seed. Then I will recognize you as my godmother. How great is that."
Old Mrs. Cao said what she wanted to say. She no longer cared about her appearance and her voice became louder.
"We're not lending it for free. This..." She pushed the money on the table towards Yuan Lingling again, "I'm paying for it. When it really works, I'll definitely return it to godmother!"
After revealing her true purpose, she seemed to let herself go, her whole face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
So what he said at the beginning about wanting Yuan Lingling to pay the betrothal gift to Yuan Zili was false. Seeing if there were any good things at home was also a way of evaluating how much money he should pay.
The real reason they came here today was to borrow Chen Caisheng's...
Yuan Lingling smiled again and looked at Yuan Zili. "What's your idea? Why are you telling me this? Don't you want the person involved to know?"
Yuan Zili was not willing to admit it, but now that the most difficult thing had been said, there was nothing to hide. He came here with a mission today. As long as he could help Sister Taohua accomplish this, he and Xinghua would be able to be together happily. This thing must be accomplished today!
"Sister, didn't we tell you this first because we respect you?" He even had a hard time speaking to his brother-in-law, so how could he say these things? Of course, it would be better for his sister to bring it up, and it would be best not to let Shen Caisheng know and just do it quietly.
Yuan Lingling squeezed her fist and smiled, "That's great. We are becoming more and more sensible and considerate of our sister. It's just that Comrade Taohua wants to do that. Does your husband mind?"
Is it really not possible or what? What man is willing to let his wife go out and find someone to borrow sperm from?
Taohua lowered her head, "My man won't say anything, don't worry, sister-in-law."
"I heard that some couples are infertile because of a genetic disease." Yuan Lingling took a sip of tea and said slowly, with a serious scientific expression, "Do you understand genetic diseases? It means that if your parents have it, their children will also have it, and if your brothers and sisters have it, their younger brothers and sisters will also have it. I wonder if your husband's brothers and sisters have any children?"
The topic changed so quickly that no one could react. Taohua said honestly, "Yes, my husband's brothers already have children."
"Really? Then your husband's brothers all have children. How do you know your husband can't do it? What if it's you? If you can't do it, can your sister do it?" After saying that, she looked at Yuan Zili who was still in a daze, "And you, her sister can go out to borrow sperm, aren't you afraid that she will follow suit?"
After these words were spoken, Yuan Zili's face turned dark, and everyone in the group's face turned dark as well.
"What are you talking about? I think you are just jealous of my sister's beauty. You are afraid that your man will lose his mind when he sees her and won't want to make money for the family!" Cao Xinghua stopped pretending. She looked at Yuan Lingling angrily. Her frustrated look was really puzzling.
"Who's yelling here?"
They were arguing so loudly that they didn't even notice when Shen Caisheng came in from outside the yard. When they heard his low and angry voice, everyone present was startled.
"Caisheng, you're back, come here, let me introduce you."
Yuan Lingling waved her hand and showed an extremely enthusiastic expression to Shen Caisheng, which stunned Shen Caisheng.
Although he was not at home, he had asked someone to watch this place, so he could quickly find out if there was any movement here. So when he heard that the Yuan family had brought people here, he rode his bicycle back.
But seeing how happy his wife is, isn't it the wrong time for him to come back?
What’s even more strange is, when did his wife become so fond of the Yuan family?
He was thinking a lot in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked obediently to Yuan Lingling without even glancing at the people around him.
"Caisheng, come here." Yuan Lingling took Shen Caisheng's arm and said, "This is Yuan Zili's girlfriend's sister, Comrade Taohua. Comrade Taohua has been married for several years but still has no children. I heard that you are very capable and have two children at once. I want to borrow your seed. Are you willing?"
Yuan Lingling couldn't laugh anymore when she said this. She was almost pissed off to death by these people. Shen Caisheng standing in front of her was not much better, with a terribly gloomy face.
He didn't look at the three generations of the family, but turned around and pointed angrily at Yuan Zili. Before he even opened his mouth to speak, Yuan Zili had already taken several steps back trembling.
"Are you afraid of me?" Shen Caisheng laughed. Ever since he beat up a few people around here, everyone was afraid of him, but not many people dared to provoke him, and even fewer could make him so angry.
"No...I...I just..." Yuan Zili was speechless for a long time. He really regretted it so much. If he had known it would happen, he would not have come here no matter what. It's just a partner. Can't he find a partner?
Shen Caisheng didn't care whether he was scared or not. He took two steps closer to him and said, "I'll give you one minute. If you don't take the unimportant people away, you might have to ask them to hire someone to carry you away."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zili's face turned pale, but Shen Caisheng seemed unaware and just stared at him with his hands on his hips.
Seeing this, the three men all looked unhappy, except Yuan Lingling, who smiled, sat down and drank a glass of water.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Guests are welcome. No matter what, I am your elder. Is this how you treat guests?" Old Mrs. Cao still wanted to use her status as an elder to put pressure on others.
But Shen Caisheng was a stubborn person. He raised his hand to reveal his Shanghai watch, "Thirty seconds left."
"How come there are only thirty seconds left? You didn't even look just now." Yuan Zili said anxiously.
"Twenty-five seconds."
"Brother-in-law, you think the money is not enough. Let's add some more. After the matter is done, five hundred should be enough!" Old Mrs. Cao felt that she had seen through Shen Caisheng's intention. Doesn't showing her watch mean that she is not short of money?
In that case, she could just give more money. Who would complain about having too much money?
Although five hundred was a bit beyond her expectations, it would be worth it if Taohua could really give birth to twins.
Unexpectedly, Shen Caisheng was still unmoved by the five hundred yuan. He took another step towards Yuan Zili and said, "Twenty seconds."
"Brother-in-law, don't be too greedy!"
"Fifteen seconds!"
"Let's go, let's go. Can't I take them away?" Yuan Zili could see that Shen Caisheng didn't care about the money at all. He believed that if he didn't take them away, Shen Caisheng would definitely beat him up.
"Grandma Cao, let's go first. We can talk about it when we get back."
Hearing this, Old Lady Cao was not very happy, "You kid, have you forgotten what you promised your grandma? You don't want your dad to get a raise, and you don't want a wife anymore?"
No one wanted to be threatened in front of so many people. Yuan Zili's face turned pale and blue, but in the end, his own safety prevailed. He pulled Xinghua over, but he didn't expect Xinghua to shake off his hand.
"Okay, you won't leave, right? If you don't leave, I will. It's up to you guys to do whatever you want."
Yuan Zili flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the yard. He couldn't stand being beaten anyway.
"Aren't you guys leaving yet?" Shen Caisheng naturally didn't look happy when facing such shameless people like them.
When Old Lady Cao saw him just staring at Yuan Zili before, she thought that Yuan Zili had offended him. Now that the coldness was coming towards them, they were all scared.
But Old Lady Cao didn't want to give up this good opportunity. Before leaving, she couldn't help but say, "Think about this matter carefully. Not only can we give you money, but we can also introduce you two to jobs. It's not easy to get into a food factory."
The little bit of pride she had left disappeared completely in the face of Shen Caisheng's murderous gaze, and she left with her two granddaughters.
As the gate closed, they were the only two left in the house.
Shen Caisheng suddenly became uncomfortable.
"If someone like this comes again and makes you unhappy, you don't have to open the door for them." After a long while, Shen Caisheng said this.
Yuan Lingling breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't actually angry with Shen Caisheng, so there was no need to put on a bad face in front of him. "I didn't want to let them in originally. It seems like they don't understand rejection."
"It's really disgusting." Yuan Lingling couldn't help but complain, "I won't offend others unless they offend me. It must be that Old Lady Yuan said something to them, otherwise they wouldn't come here for no reason. The wind is blowing, it's time to clean up the Yuan family."
Shen Caisheng looked at the sunny weather outside and nodded, "Whatever you want to do, I'll help you."
"How is the Xie family?" Yuan Lingling asked.
Ever since the last incident with Xie Bin, I heard that Jiang Liping was sick and had hardly gone out. She must have been afraid of going out and being laughed at, so she hid at home.
While she was avoiding people's talk, the Lin couple had already divorced.
Xie Bin originally had an idle job, and he lost his job after getting into a scandal, but he still went out every day, either to play chess or to wander around. People who met him called him a playboy, but he really took it as if it was just a one-time affair, and acted as if nothing had happened, which made people feel angry.
However, Yuan Lingling did not feel pity for Jiang Liping at all. If she could be pitied, who could pity the original body?
Since she wants to hide at home, let her be too embarrassed to come out again.
"She's slowly started going out lately. Do you want me to gossip about her again?"
Shen Caisheng didn't think there was anything wrong with such behavior, not to mention that the gossip he spread was true.
"Spread it. Spread the things that happened in the past as well."
Many elderly people know about what happened in the past, but not all of them will explain it, so many people think that Yuan Lingling’s biological mother Feng Ling is a fickle woman who seduces men at will.
Just like the bad reputation that Yuan Lingling and Shen Caisheng had spread.
So some people deserve to suffer the consequences.
Shen Caisheng nodded, then touched her head, and said, "Okay, leave it to me, you don't have to worry too much."
"I will also investigate those people just now. Anyway, we can't be wronged, right?"
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Shen Caisheng had already thought of a way to deal with those people. What happened in the past would have been fine, but they dared to come to him now. It seemed that he was being too kind.
Yuan Lingling didn't notice his inner emotions and said happily, "You are right."
