Chapter 5: Change
Hospital.
Shen Caisheng sat in front of the bed with a grim tone.
"Do you want to die?"
The monkey on the bed trembled, and the pain in his abdomen came, making him frown, "Brother Chen... I can't do anything about it."
Shen Caisheng was unmoved, "Who taught you to do this?"
What the monkey did this time was really shocking.
Who could have thought that he, a man who would normally howl for a long time if he got a little scratch, would actually dare to stab himself with a knife. Shen Cai was so angry that he didn't know what to say to him.
The monkey opened and closed his mouth but no words came out. If possible, he didn't want to do that, but those people were really too much.
They can poison Yuanyuan today. If we really let them take Yuanyuan away and raise her, can we still expect them to treat her well?
Monkey pulled up the corners of his mouth, his smile was uglier than crying. He knew that Brother Chen really had a grudge against him this time, "I'm sorry..."
Without waiting for the other party's answer, he murmured again: "Please help me take care of Yuanyuan, I don't want him to see me like this, Brother Chen, please help me again, I will definitely not trouble you in the future."
Shen Caisheng was silent for a moment, "It's up to you, I'm leaving now, call the nurse if you need anything."
He didn't understand why he was angry.
Monkey's real name is Hou Fang, and he has a younger brother named Hou Yuan who depends on him for everything.
They and Shen Caisheng share the same fate, as both lost their parents at an early age. However, when the Hou family's parents were alive, their life was much more prosperous than that of the Shen family.
At that time, Hou's parents were both senior technical workers in the factory. The couple died in an accident while working.
This was the factory's responsibility. Not only did they allocate houses to us, they also gave us a lot of pensions.
There was nothing wrong with it before, but in the past two years, I don’t know where those distant relatives of the Hou family got the news from, but they knew that the Monkey brothers had a house and money, so they started to interact with them.
At first, the monkeys were very happy about this, as no one doesn’t desire family affection.
But the two are young and not stupid, and over time they can see whether their so-called relatives are sincere to them.
Realizing the intentions of those people, the monkey decided to cut off all ties with them.
But when those people saw that playing the family card was useless, they started to think of other tricks, including the idea of their custody rights.
The monkey was already an adult, and it was difficult for them to control him, so they thought about taking custody of Hou Yuan.
Once, Hou Yuan was even taken away secretly. It was only when Monkey rode a motorcycle to the countryside and made a big fuss to get him back that the matter was settled.
After this incident, those people stayed quiet for a while, and only a few were left.
However, the few remaining ones who still have a good relationship with Hou Yuan have started to make trouble again, and even want to take away the custody of the child by hurting Hou Yuan.
These people are not doing human things, but the monkeys are too extreme in their actions.
When he let his cousin hold the knife and stab him, he must have thought that something might happen to him.
Long before the incident happened, he had asked Shen Caisheng to take care of Yuanyuan.
Shen Caisheng was angry because he really regarded the other party as a friend.
He doesn't discuss things with his brothers and is impulsive and doesn't take his own life seriously.
-
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, if it weren't for Brother Chen, Monkey would have committed hooliganism countless times." Ma Jie, who was helping Yuan Lingling sweep the snow on the other side, was also talking about Monkey.
Yuan Lingling: “Ah?”
"They used some shady tactics, forcing the monkeys to drink alcohol, drugging them, and even locking the girl in the monkey's room."
Yuan Lingling was stunned. If it weren't for his sincere expression, Yuan Lingling would have thought that this person was mocking her.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't expect that, did you? There are really all kinds of people in this world."
Yuan Lingling smiled fakely, "Haha, yes."
"…So he was injured because of this?" He stabbed someone because he couldn't sleep with him? This is too crazy.
Do the people in this book have some serious illness?
"No." Ma Jie's face darkened. "Those beasts are capable of anything. In order to take Yuanyuan to their side to raise her, they fed her medicine. If Brother Chen hadn't discovered it in time, the child would have been poisoned to death."
Yuan Lingling was shocked. "Feeding them medicine? Does that mean monkeys can't raise babies?"
"He is such a beast, and that man is Yuanyuan's favorite cousin. He is worse than pigs and dogs!"
Yuan Lingling was shocked.
It's no wonder that she resorted to knife-wielding. If it were her, she would probably want to kill someone too.
"But how did he get stabbed in the body?"
Just as he finished speaking, Yang Ying's loud voice came from outside the yard.
"Bah, how shameless! I think Zhu Bajie is just showing off and putting the blame on others!" After saying this, the man had already entered the yard.
Ma Jie put down the broom in his hand and went to meet him, "Mom, who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be? It's the two from the Xie family. They are complaining about Caisheng's wife, saying that your sweet potato cakes are poisonous. Bah, why don't you poison those two shameless people?"
Yuan Lingling subconsciously looked at Ma Jie and saw that Ma Jie's eyes were wandering and he looked guilty.
She slowly typed a question mark in her mind.
Or one with black sesame filling?
Just now, the mother and daughter of the Xie family ran back holding their stomachs. She thought they were blackmailing her and that it was this guy who was causing all the trouble.
A hundred meters away at the Xie family's house, two women were cursing at each other. It was obvious that they were deliberately lowering their voices, but if you listened carefully, you could still piece together something from their fragmentary words.
"It must be Yuan Lingling who wants to harm us. She is so vicious!"
"No, you have to ask her for compensation!"
"Let the second brother go and ask for it. He will definitely ask for more. He will definitely skin that crazy woman alive!"
…
The mother and daughter of the Xie family usually appear generous and gentle, but it is difficult for people not to discover their true colors because they are always visible. However, everyone also dislikes Yuan Lingling.
Now that they heard jokes from them, everyone no longer felt lonely. They gathered in the alley in groups of three or four, pretending to chat, but in fact, everyone pricked up their ears and didn't want to miss the first-hand jokes.
Shen Caisheng walked through the alley entrance with his child, expressionless on his face. When everyone saw him, they walked back to their own yards awkwardly.
There were also some shameless ones who went into the yard, walked around, and then came out again after Chen Caisheng passed by.
Shen Caisheng pretended to be ignorant of what they were doing. He had learned the skill of pretending to be blind and deaf since he was a child. However, he never expected that when he arrived at the door of Xie's house, he almost collided with Xie Guanglian who rushed out of the house.
"Yuan Lingling is a bitch. I will never let her enter my Xie family!"
The voice in the courtyard was extremely loud, as if the speaker had used up all his strength. Xie Guanglian's face turned pale.
Meeting Shen Caisheng's gaze, he felt not only fear, but also a little bit... ashamed.
All his secret despicable thoughts of wanting to surpass Shen Caisheng seemed to have nowhere to hide at this moment. This feeling was exactly the same as when he stuffed the stolen money into Shen Caisheng's schoolbag and was stared at by Shen Caisheng.
"I……"
He wanted to explain, but Shen Caisheng walked past him without even glancing at him, as if he didn't see him.
For some reason, Xie Guanglian felt that his heart was more chaotic than the ball of wool that had been scratched by a cat. He got excited and shouted, "Chen Caisheng."
He wanted to ask why, why was Shen Caisheng always so indifferent to people, was there nothing that the people he cared about cared about?
Isn’t Yuan Lingling his wife? His wife is about to be snatched away by someone, why does he still not care?
Shen Caisheng paused, and Xie Guanglian thought he could see even a little bit of anger in the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party just glanced at him and said, "Remember to pay back the money."
Just one sentence made Xie Guanglian's behavior in recent days look extremely ridiculous.
He approached Yuan Lingling not only to make some money, but more importantly, he wanted to defeat Shen Caisheng once, but she didn't take it seriously at all.
The two people in the yard were still "plotting" loudly. Xie Guanglian felt a breath stuck in his chest and couldn't go up or down, and his whole face was numb.
He didn't know where his temper came from. He turned around and stormed into the main room, knocking Xie's father's favorite tea set on the table to the ground.
There was a clanging sound, and Xie Guanglian yelled, "Can you please shut up? Isn't this embarrassing enough?"
At first, he didn't want to let the two of them know about him and Yuan Lingling, he just... just wanted to make himself feel good.
Later, he couldn't stand his younger sister's constant provocation and comparing him with Shen Caisheng, so he couldn't help but tell the truth.
At that time, Jiang Liping was always worried that Shen Caisheng would find out and cause trouble for the family, but after he took some money from Yuan Lingling, their attitude changed.
Yuan Lingling had never provoked them, and he was their closest person. It was fine for him to treat Yuan Lingling like that, but why did they take it for granted and force him to pay?
"What are you crazy about?" After a moment of silence, Jiang Liping took the initiative to attack. She said angrily, "Hurry up and find Yuan Lingling for me. She wants to kill us!"
Jiang Liping sat on the chair in a strange posture, breathing weakly but still showing a vicious look to Xie Guanglian.
At that moment, Xie Guanglian almost felt like he was not her son.
Although he used to hang out outside, he was always very nice to his family.
Not all the words he said to Yuan Lingling were lies. As the second child in the family, he had never been as valued as his older brother, nor as loved as his younger sister. Now that he owed money, he dared not ask for it at all.
Why? We are all from the same family, why should he be the most unpopular one?
He wanted to see how they would end up if his eldest brother's work was affected because of their favoritism.
If he doesn't have a good life every day, then no one will have a good life.
Ignoring the two people's bad words, Xie Guanglian turned around and went back to his room.
His room is on the west side of the main hall and is the smallest room in the house. His mother has been telling him since he was a child that he can move to his sister's room after his sister gets married.
Why is that?
Why can his older brother and younger sister live in big rooms since they were young, but he can only live in this extremely narrow little house?
Xie Guanglian slammed the door shut, and immediately Jiang Liping's roar came from outside, "Xie Guanglian, are you going to die?"
"Just let me die!"
