Seeing the two chasing and tearing at each other in the courtyard, the villagers who had been watching dared not approach and retreated, whispering amongst themselves as they went.
"What's wrong with Chen Zhancai? Has he gone mad?!"
"In my opinion, he's probably getting his comeuppance. Think about it, he was perfectly fine just now, but as soon as he mentioned taking over Qingya's property, he started getting itchy all over. It's obvious that God was giving him a warning, but he didn't repent and used his status as a scholar to bully people. Now, he's completely gone mad."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it. It's so despicable that even God couldn't stand it."
"Look at his pathetic, swaying manner. He has no semblance of a scholar. He's worse than a dog."
"Alright, keep your voice down. It would be troublesome if you got entangled with something unclean."
"Yes, yes, back up quickly, don't get possessed by evil spirits."
Chen Zhancai's father-in-law and the others were so frightened by this sudden scene that they quickly retreated, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Liu Bao craned his neck and stared wide-eyed, standing on tiptoe to look around. "Dad, what's wrong with my brother-in-law? Could he really be possessed by an evil spirit?"
Liu Dashan shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. Judging from how he barked like a dog just now, he must have been bitten by a rabid dog."
"Even being bitten by a dog wouldn't cause this much damage, would it?"
"You silly boy, getting bitten by a rabid dog would be a real problem. You could get rabies, which is deadly."
"It's contagious! That's terrifying!" Liu Bao grimaced in shock.
Liu Gen swallowed hard upon hearing this. "Dad, let's not watch this commotion here anymore, let's go!"
"Yes, Dad, if my brother-in-law bites me, I'll be dead." Liu Gou turned around and tried to run away.
Liu Dashan reached out and pulled him back. "Don't move. Rabies dogs love to chase people. Be careful, or it might bite you."
"Oh my god, what should I do? I want to go home."
"Shut up, there are so many people who aren't afraid, what are you afraid of? If he really dares to bite someone, then we'll beat him with sticks." After saying that, Liu Dashan picked up a wooden stick from the ground.
......
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Old Man Chen cautiously asked, "Old woman, what's going on? Has our son gone mad?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our son is just drunk and acting crazy." Old Mrs. Chen said, glaring at Old Mr. Chen. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a way to calm them down and stop them from making a fool of themselves here."
"What can I do? I was almost overwhelmed by that silly woman just now. I'm not going to move forward. If my daughter-in-law pins me to the ground, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone."
A dark cloud settled in Liu Fengjiao's eyes. Serves you right, you deserved it! You got your comeuppance for taking a concubine!
Although he hated Chen Zhancai to the core, he had at least passed the imperial examination and become a scholar.
With this identity, whether it's for their son to get married or their daughter to stay in the Fan family, they have a powerful backer.
Going insane like this won't do me any good.
She feigned anxiety and said, "Mother, Zhancai doesn't seem to be drunk. I think he's been possessed by an evil spirit. You should find someone to take a look at him quickly!"
Hearing Liu Fengjiao say this, Old Mrs. Chen was also unsure. Her son was drunk and might be acting crazy, but Ruhua hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol, so why was she making a scene?
Could it be that we really encountered something unclean?
What to do? Old Mrs. Chen was at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Chen Qingqing stood to the side with her arms crossed, squinting as she watched Chen Zhancai shouting, jumping around, and making a complete fool of himself in the courtyard. A mocking sneer curled at the corner of her lips.
This 'Jewel flower' is a highly purified hallucinogen that can make the poisoned person express their innermost thoughts.
They wanted to take advantage of her and covet her property.
If we don't teach Chen Zhancai a lesson, how will he ever learn his lesson?
Wu Baoan was so anxious he was wringing his hands. He didn't want to see Chen Zhancai make a fool of himself any longer. He was about to step forward to persuade him when Chen Qingqing stopped him.
“Uncle Village Head, these two are acting crazy. You’d better not go over there. It would be troublesome if they hurt you.”
“Yes, Qingya, I’m worried about that too. But the villagers are all watching. Chen Zhancai is a scholar, after all. It would be undignified for him to embarrass himself in public. I have to stop him. If something goes wrong, I, as the village head, will also be held responsible.”
Chen Qingqing felt the punishment wasn't enough. Chen Zhancai was so heartless; letting him off so easily wasn't her style.
“Uncle Village Head, they seem to have lost their minds and might suddenly attack people. For your safety, you'd better not go over there.”
"Oh dear, what should we do?"
"Don't rush, he probably won't lay a hand on his closest relatives."
“It’s much easier if we don’t harm our own family.” Not wanting to hurt innocent people, Wu Baoan shouted loudly to Old Man Chen, who was not far away, “Uncle Zhonghou, Auntie, don’t just stand there like idiots, hurry up and make Zhancai stop.”
Grandma Chen looked troubled. "They're having so much fun, how can we ask them to stop? You're making things difficult for them!"
"Don't worry, you are Zhan Cai's closest relatives, he won't hurt you."
Old Chen's voice trembled as he said, "No, no, I'm scared."
Wu Baoan continued to persuade him, "Uncle Zhonghou, if you let this go unchecked, they might really go berserk and hurt someone, which would be a real problem."
"Oh dear, what should I do?" Old Mrs. Chen was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
Old Chen gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Alright, it seems I have no choice but to go all out now."
"What are you going to do?"
“These two disgraceful bastards, I’m going to slap them across the face and wake them up.”
"If you dare lay a finger on my son, I'll fight you to the death!" Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and glared.
Old Chen stomped his foot angrily, "Old woman, then what do you suggest we do?"
“Zhancai has always been resistant to gentle persuasion but not to force. You stay behind me, I'll go and coax him.”
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Chen carefully approached and pulled Chen Zhancai, who was gesturing wildly, back down, and whispered, "My good son, wake up! The villagers are all watching. Can we stop this?"
Who are you?
"I am your mother!"
"Are you my mother?" Chen Zhancai looked at Old Lady Chen sideways, then burst into laughter. "Where did this old hag come from, daring to impersonate my mother? I think you look like a big bad wolf."
As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of radish soup from the table next to him and slammed it onto Old Mrs. Chen's head.
Ru Hua also picked up a bowl of soup and splashed it at Old Man Chen behind her.
Before Old Man Chen and his wife could even recover from their shock,
Chen Zhancai and Ruhua each grabbed one of them, pinned them to the ground, straddled them, and, like riding horses, grabbed their collars, shouting "Giddy up!"
