Seeing his gloating expression, the men drinking tea all began to rebuke him.
"Are you crazy?! They got arrested and their clinic shut down, why are you so happy?"
"Exactly! You're such a despicable person, cheering in the street like that! Are you asking for a beating?"
"I think he looks like a complete scoundrel, practically begging to be beaten up!"
......
Chen Zhancai was terrified, inwardly blaming himself for not being able to hold back and blurting out his true feelings.
He knew he had incurred public wrath, and if he didn't leave, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
"Brothers, please, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. I was just saying it offhand. Please don't lay a hand on me!"
He spoke as he backed away, and when he figured it was about time, he turned around and ran.
He ran quite a distance before stopping, panting heavily, and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"A bunch of rude and incompetent bastards, trying to hit someone in broad daylight! Go ahead and chase after them! If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll make you regret it!"
Chen Zhancai braced himself on his knees, panting heavily, feeling as if his lungs were about to explode. It took him a while to recover.
It's now certain that that brat really is facing a murder charge.
I'm so happy today, I must have a few more drinks, and then find a brothel to have some fun to celebrate.
Thinking of this, I started to walk towards the restaurant, but then another thought struck me.
That brat is now embroiled in a lawsuit; her family must be in complete chaos by now.
Given his status as a scholar, why not take this opportunity to return to Nanshan Village?
You might be surprised by what you find.
At that time, Chen Zhancai will be able to live a carefree and happy life as a rich man.
What Liu Fengjiao? What kind of shameless, promiscuous woman? I don't care about any of them.
He absolutely had to marry several beautiful, delicate young women, as if they were so tender they looked like they could be squeezed for water...
The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became, and all sorts of erotic images flashed through his mind.
His mouth stretched wider and wider, he couldn't stop laughing, and drool was practically dripping onto the ground.
Chen Zhancai quickly wiped the drool from his mouth. His stomach was no longer hungry. He hired a carriage and went to check out Jishetang first.
Seeing the official seal prominently displayed on the gate, he was so pleased he almost wanted to go forward and bow several times.
But fearing he might cause unnecessary trouble, he gave the order, and the coachman spurred the horse and sped off towards Nanshan Village.
The news of Chen Qingqing's arrest and imprisonment had already spread secretly among the villagers, except for Chen Zhanshan and his wife.
Some felt sorry for Chen Qingqing, some felt sorry for her, and some gloated behind her back.
Old Mrs. Chen was so happy that she clapped her hands and cheered. She would often run to the front door of the eldest son's house, craning her neck and standing on tiptoe to peek inside.
Seeing that Chen Zhanshan and his wife were completely unaware and clueless, she felt incredibly pleased.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
You were so unfilial, even God couldn't stand it anymore, now you're getting your just desserts!
Serves him right, he deserves it!
That brat was so arrogant! She made money and didn't respect her elders! Even chopping off her head wouldn't be enough to quell my anger!
That day, Old Mrs. Chen ate some rice bran and wild vegetable porridge haphazardly, put down her bowl and chopsticks, put on her shoes, and was about to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen frowned. "Old woman, what are you going to do now?"
"Why are you asking me? Of course, I'm here to see the eldest son's wife make a fool of herself."
As Old Mrs. Chen spoke, a hint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.
"Old man, you don't know, those two heartless bastards are still like fools who don't know that that brat is already in jail. I really want to tell them, and see them crying and wailing, heartbroken and devastated. That would make me feel so relieved!"
"Alright, old woman, what are you so happy about when someone's in trouble?"
"What? Can't I be happy?"
“Oh, old woman, no matter what, Zhanshan is our son. It’s understandable that people gossip when Qingya is in trouble, but it’s unreasonable for us to join in the commotion and watch the show. Think about it carefully, isn’t what I’m saying right?”
"They're your mother's big brothers, you treat them like family, but when have those ingrates ever cared about us?"
Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth, glared, and began to berate him.
"You, you, are just like an old lady's chamber pot, always getting scolded. What's wrong with me being happy?"
As the saying goes, a family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings; a family that accumulates evil deeds will surely have abundant calamities.
This is all the fault of those heartless, ungrateful bastards.
Lambs kneel to suckle their mothers, and crows feed their parents in return. Even animals understand this principle, so why do they do it?
They turn their backs on you without hesitation, stirring up trouble out of nothing, starting with dividing the family property and severing ties with relatives.
They watch us eat coarse food and do nothing, tell me, is this something a human being would do?
This is clearly a punishment from heaven for those ungrateful wretches who couldn't stand by and watch.
I'm just waiting for the magistrate to issue an order to chop off that damned girl's head!
Seeing that her words were becoming increasingly absurd, Old Chen's face fell.
"Alright, watch your mouth! You've raised your third son like a precious treasure, but look at him now."
He's all talk and no action, making empty promises and all that. His words are more eloquent than his performances; he has absolutely no sincerity.
To say something you might not like, someone like the third brother isn't even a fraction as good as Zhan Shan or Zhan Liang.
"To think he'd take care of us in our old age? Screw him, you bastard! Unless the seas dry up and the rocks turn to dust."
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry at these words that she felt an itch to scratch Old Mr. Chen a few times.
But on second thought, it's not entirely unreasonable for the old man to be angry; Zhan Cai's actions were indeed excessive.
I finally managed to swallow my pride and ask him for some money, but he only gave me a few copper coins. Isn't that just giving a beggar a free meal?
She held her breath, suppressing the anger rising within her, rolled her eyes at Old Man Chen, and continued to defend Chen Zhancai.
"You old fool, the person was in a good mood, why did you have to bring this up?"
That's really bringing up the very thing I shouldn't have said.
Zhan Cai isn't abandoning us; he's just not settled down yet.
If he really becomes successful someday, will he abandon us?
I'm telling you, he's definitely better than those two heartless bastards.
"Oh dear, my good old woman, you're usually so smart but you've made a foolish mistake. How can you still be so clueless and unable to see things clearly at a time like this? As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their mother. Someone like Zhancai would even sell his own wife, let alone us two old hags?"
Old Man Chen was completely disillusioned with Chen Zhancai, and finally spoke the words that had been weighing on his mind for so long...
