Chapter 49: Deliberate
Old lady Yuan's howl was indeed effective, and it attracted all the neighbors.
However, Shen Caisheng did not let go. Instead, Yuan Lingling curled her lips and smiled, "Grandma is really thoughtful. She knows that I care about those things in the past. It's a good opportunity for the neighbors to talk about what happened in the past."
After these words came out, Mrs. Yuan's voice suddenly stopped, and Yuan Qiang said, "Mom, stop talking."
"Auntie, what happened?" Someone outside the yard leaned out and shouted, but from that person's angle he could only see Yuan Qiang's profile and could not see Shen Caisheng's hand that was holding him.
"No...it's okay." Old Mrs. Yuan's smile was harder than crying, and there was a tone of tears in her voice.
I don't know if everyone really didn't hear her or just didn't want to cause trouble, but after hearing what she said, they all turned around and left, with no intention of watching the fun at all.
Now not only Old Lady Yuan but also Yuan Qiang was surprised. Why were these people like this? Didn’t they see that he was beaten?
"Let's go." Shen Caisheng felt that it was about time, so he let go of Yuan Qiang and protected Yuan Lingling as they walked out.
When the two of them were about to reach the gate, Yuan Qiang shouted, "Yuan Lingling, stop! If you leave this house like this today, don't ever come back."
Originally, he didn't care that much about the things in the box. In fact, he had already hidden most of them a long time ago. But now seeing that Yuan Lingling didn't take him seriously, he felt really angry.
But after he shouted like that, no one paid any attention to him. Yuan Lingling walked straight out of the yard without even stopping. Shen Caisheng next to him turned around and looked at them with a cold and scary look in his eyes.
Yuan Qiang didn't have the courage to chase after him, so he could only stand there and gasp for breath.
"Qiangzi, look at her! How could our Yuan family have a daughter like her? She took all those things. Those are all money!" Old Mrs. Yuan was heartbroken. There were not many things left to begin with, and now they were taken away so easily by that girl Yuan Lingling. How could she let her feel good?
Yuan Qiang pinched his wrist, his eyes turned red with anger.
After a while, he said, "Mom, let's go!"
Old Mrs. Yuan was startled and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the hospital."
"Ah? Something really happened to his hand, right?" Old Mrs. Yuan no longer cared about the money. Of course, her son's hand was more important.
Shen Caisheng and Yuan Lingling walked out of Yuan's house. Seeing that Yuan Lingling had not spoken, he opened his mouth but did not speak. After a long while, he asked again, "Are you just going to let them go?"
"Of course not. What is due must be paid, don't you think?"
Shen Caisheng felt a little distressed, but he didn't show it. He smiled and said, "You are right. I will listen to you. Tell me what you want to do."
"rest assured."
The two of them slowly took their things home. Yuan Lingling didn't take out the things in the box to look at them, and Chen Caisheng didn't ask either. But he was thinking in his heart when he would give that man a good beating.
"But they will definitely spread the news that you beat someone up just now." Although Yuan Lingling wanted to deal with them, there was no need to let Shen Caisheng suffer. "With their current reputation, you just need to find a few people to help you speak up."
Shen Caisheng responded with a "OK". He could see clearly that Yuan Lingling was doing this for him.
But he didn't intend to do so. It would be best for them to do nothing now. When the truth is revealed later, it will cause more pain to the other party.
As expected, the next day, news spread that the couple had gone back to Yuan's house and beat up all the Yuan family members because of Yuan Lingling's bullying. They even broke Yuan Qiang's arm, but Yuan Qiang didn't even bother to ask Shen Caisheng for compensation.
The world always sympathizes with the weak, and soon some people began to stand on the moral high ground and accuse Shen Caisheng and the other man.
When such rumors were first heard, the person who was most happy was Old Lady Yuan. God knows what kind of looks she had to face when she went out these days. People said that she was abusing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Those gossipy old women, who hasn't gone through this as a daughter-in-law?
They all think that men are like Shen Caisheng, who was born by a mother but not raised by her.
But as the rumors spread, the wind direction changed. Everyone said that those things were committed by Old Mrs. Yuan, so what did Yuan Qiang have to do with it? If we need to clean up the mess, it should be Old Lady Yuan.
"What do you mean I should be punished too? Who am I doing all this for? It's for this family. You don't even go out to help me speak up. It's not right for you to stay at home all day."
Whenever Old Mrs. Yuan got upset outside, she would get annoyed when she saw Yuan Qiang when she got home. How could she not know what kind of person her son was?
Everyone said that he didn't get married because he couldn't let go of Feng Ling, but only she knew that he just loved to play.
He used the excuse of being sick, saying that he wanted to embarrass Shen Caisheng, but in fact he was just being lazy and trying to avoid work.
Normally, Grandma Yuan was very proud of her son's cleverness. Only she could give birth to such a son. But now that she was being used as a comparison to fulfill her son's good reputation, she felt a little unhappy.
Yuan Qiang didn't want to pay attention and said, "How can I go out like this? If I go out, won't others know that we are pretending?"
"Then you can't let others say that about me!" Old Mrs. Yuan was very unhappy.
"If you were nicer to others, who would say anything to you?" The reason they are in this situation is because their own mother doesn't know how to restrain herself and wants the whole world to know what she does at home.
"You! You want to go against me too, right?" Old Mrs. Yuan was furious.
"Alright, alright." Yuan Qiang knew he couldn't win the argument, so he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, does anyone else know about what happened back then?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yuan's expression changed, "How is that possible? Don't mention it again."
Yuan Lingling and her husband didn't know about their anxiety. Recently, Yuan Lingling and her husband had new things to do and started planning their future life.
According to Shen Caisheng, after they leave Beijing, they might go to a more remote place, and Yuan Lingling would need to have her own things to do by then.
Yuan Lingling felt that as long as she had some free time to sleep, it would be enough, but since Shen Caisheng wanted to discuss the future with her, she naturally would not refuse.
"Why don't you teach me carpentry?" Yuan Lingling had always thought these things were very interesting, but no one could teach her, and self-study was obviously much more laborious. In addition, her work life was already hard enough, so she couldn't spare so much time to do these things.
Shen Caisheng was very surprised by her proposal, "Just tell me what you want to do, you don't need to do it yourself."
"I want to do it." Yuan Lingling said, "Then I can make wooden bowls, wooden spoons, and toys for my children. I think it's meaningful to make these things myself."
Hearing this, Shen Caisheng said no more, but prepared the wood and slowly taught her. However, he only taught her some small tricks, which was exactly what Yuan Lingling wanted.
As a result, Yuan Lingling became less and less willing to go out, and naturally she didn't know what was happening outside.
Ever since Xie Aihe left, the Xie family has become a complete laughing stock, especially after Xie Guangan came back, he didn't care about the two people from the Xie family, but actually took a fishing rod and ran to the river to fish every day. It was really strange.
Xie Bin and Jiang Liping quarreled about divorce every day, but they never really got a marriage certificate.
With Xie Guangan around, those who gossiped were more restrained. There were several times when Xie Guangan heard people talking about Jiang Liping behind her back, but he just passed by and said nothing.
After this happened a few times, fewer people gossiped about him.
On the other side, Yang Xiaoxi's case was finally investigated. The clues she provided allowed Shen Caisheng and his team to find more evidence of those people's crimes. Shen Caisheng made a contribution but it made Yang Hu's guilt more serious.
"I'm sorry, but you made the right choice this time."
Shen Caisheng and Yang Xiaoxi were sitting in the store. He knew that this incident was a big blow to Yang Xiaoxi.
No matter how bad the parents are, the blood is thicker than water and cannot be erased, so when they suffer, their children will not be happy either.
He originally wanted to take Yang Xiaoxi home to find Yuan Lingling. He felt that Yuan Lingling had the ability to heal people. After all, he himself was not a person who could comfort others.
But recently Yuan Lingling has been having a lot of fun playing with wood at home. He had selfish motives and didn't want Yuan Lingling to be affected, but his persuasion was still a little futile.
"I know, Brother Shen, I'm fine. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. I understand."
Yang Xiaoxi was very calm and was making tofu silently.
Chen Caisheng didn't know how to comfort him, so he thought for a moment and said, "Lingling and I will be leaving Jing City soon, and this tofu shop will be yours from now on."
"What?"
Yang Xiaoxi looked up in surprise, and when she opened her eyes she saw a person standing at the door.
Shen Caisheng naturally saw it too. It was Zheng Changqing.
"I'll be leaving now, take care."
Yang Xiaoxi opened her mouth but didn't say anything, just hummed.
Yuan Lingling was a little surprised to hear that she would be leaving soon.
"Did something happen? Why do you want to leave now?"
Didn’t they agree beforehand to wait until the baby was born before leaving?
"We also have a military hospital in the past, so you don't have to worry."
In fact, he was assigned another task by his superiors. Although the task was not dangerous, he had to leave home for a while.
There may not be any danger in Beijing at the moment, but with the Xie family and the Yuan family, Shen Caisheng can't help but feel uneasy. If Yuan Lingling lives in the family compound, she should be safer.
But Shen Caisheng didn't know how to tell her that he would be away for a while, so he could only cite the reasons the political commissar had used to persuade him.
Yuan Lingling was not actually opposed to it. Her belly looked big now, and the fetus was actually stable. If she wanted to travel quickly, now would be a better time. Once the baby was born, she would not be able to take the baby out very soon, and would waste too much time.
"Okay, just make the arrangements." Yuan Lingling said with a smile, "I don't have much to miss about this place anyway."
Shen Caisheng originally wanted to ask her if she was sure she wanted to do that, but now he felt that he didn't need to ask.
"Okay, then you should get ready. I'll buy the train ticket for next week."
Just two days after the two decided to leave, Yang Xiaoxi came to visit and brought a piece of news.
"Sister Lingling, now people are saying that your mother married your father because he forced her to do so. I think I should tell you about this."
