Chapter 116 Zhou Jin Refuses
Upon hearing what had happened, Su Yuanzheng shoveled rice into his mouth while hanging his car keys on his ring finger.
"Tongtong, I'm leaving."
What happened to Chen Xinya?
Chen Xinya's accident was her own fault; why did Su Yuanzheng have to go?
Village Chief Wei said, "Butcher Chen is worried because an anonymous letter arrived yesterday saying that Chen Xinya has been locked up by the Zhou family, and Butcher Chen has to go and rescue her."
"The Zhou family?"
“We don’t know if it’s true or not. If we have evidence, we’ll call the police immediately. If we don’t have evidence, we can only feel around and see if we can get the person out.”
The news of Hua Xin and Zhou Hengzhi's engagement had barely spread when someone wrote an anonymous letter to Butcher Chen, revealing details about Chen Xinya.
It seems the person who did this had ulterior motives.
Xia Yutong was a little reluctant to let Su Yuanzheng go, but the villagers were very united, and Chen Xinya had given the Su family some benefits in the past...
Strictly speaking, Chen Xinya's feelings for Su Yuanzheng are genuine. However, it's not quite right that she wanted to harm Su Yuanzheng and then scheme against her under the guise of being her best friend.
The original owner was badly tricked by Chen Xinya.
Watching Su Yuanzheng leave, Xia Yutong thought to herself, "That's settled then."
If Chen Xinya behaves herself from now on, she will let her off the hook. She won't continue to be best friends with her as before, but she won't target her anymore. She'll consider it the end of her grudges with the original owner.
If she remains obstinate, she has ways to make her even worse off than she is now, but it's a pity for Butcher Chen.
Madam Chen is a good person, very reasonable, which makes her difficult to deal with.
As soon as Su Yuanzheng got into the car, he turned it around. Xia Yutong sat at the door of the cabin and looked inside. Li Miao helped her up and said, "Let's go inside."
"Um."
Just then, there was a sudden stop in the woods. Xia Yutong turned around and heard Su Qinglian yelling, "Where are you going? What does Chen Xinya's business have to do with our Su family!"
Su Qinglian glanced at Liu Changgen and Village Chief Wei sitting in the car. "You two are getting senile, aren't you? The child in Chen Xinya's belly is Liu Yaozong's. She treats me, Su Qinglian, like a fool. I've been more than generous by not causing her any trouble. Her being locked up, kidnapped, and sold to the Golden Triangle is all her retribution!"
Su Qinglian gritted her teeth, "You're all getting old and your brains aren't working properly. Butcher Chen loves his daughter, so he'll go by himself. He doesn't care if she lives or dies. What are you all doing here, forming this mess?"
Su Yuanzheng was completely dazed. If he hadn't slammed on the brakes, Su Qinglian would have been dead.
"Su Qinglian, what are you doing?"
"You're not allowed to go on the expedition. Su Qinglian's affair with Liu Yaozong is already an insult to your own sister. Tell me, is your sister more important, or Chen Xinya?"
Su Yuanzheng gripped the steering wheel, hesitating.
It was mainly because Village Chief Wei and Liu Changgen approached him, making it impossible for him to refuse.
Rose Land has now applied for many subsidies from the local government, all of which were obtained by Village Chief Wei through inquiries and requests.
Village Chief Wei is a good person; he has always been helping him quietly, and occasionally he would come over and help him water the flowers.
He told him that on his first night back in the village, he had a dream in which a deity came to him and told him that in the future, a young man could make the economy of the southern village bigger and stronger, and as famous as the city center of Haicheng.
Su Qinglian continued typing, "Village chief, this is outrageous! Everyone knows about Chen Xinya and Liu Yaozong's scandalous affair. You're sending my brother to pick her up? What kind of logic is this? How can this be?"
Village Chief Wei really didn't expect to come here.
"This Chen Xinya, she was the most enthusiastic one when that incident happened. She was only happy if Yuanzheng went to jail and if my sister-in-law's reputation would stop her. Now that she's in trouble, you're asking Yuanzheng for help. Have you come to the wrong person?"
As she spoke, Su Qinglian pointed to Xia Yutong standing at the door, "This is the victim. If my sister-in-law hadn't been smart enough to use her online influence to clarify things, she probably wouldn't have been able to clear her name!"
Su Yuanzheng gripped the steering wheel tightly, a sudden pang of pain shooting through his heart, "Village Chief..."
If Su Yuanzheng were to accompany him, it would be that the old man is being unreasonable.
Village Chief Wei said, "You go ahead, we'll manage ourselves. Can Changgen drive?"
Liu Changgen shook his head, "Village chief, how could I do that? You said an electric bike would work, but this... I..."
Just then, Xu Lei stepped forward and said, "Village Chief, I'll drive you there."
As he spoke, Xu Lei called out to Jiang Yu, "Jiang Yu, let's go together."
"I'm not going!"
Su Yuanzheng got out of the car. "Xu Lei."
Hearing his name called, Xu Lei understood everything. "Don't worry, I'll do my best. I'll definitely call the police if necessary. It mainly depends on Chen Xinya herself."
It's a village, so it can't be left unattended, but it depends on who's in charge.
Su Qinglian finally managed to get Su Yuanzheng down, but Xu Lei went up again. Su Qinglian frowned, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said, "Xu Lei, you're such a good person!"
Xu Lei pretended not to notice her sarcastic tone, started the car, and drove away.
Village Chief Wei gasped and repeated several times in the car, "It was my oversight."
"It's alright, village chief. You're just worried about the people in the village. Not everyone has the same vision as you."
A few words made Village Chief Wei chuckle, forgetting everything that had just happened. "I watched you all grow up. Butcher Chen's wife passed away early, leaving after giving birth to a daughter. I watched you all grow up wearing open-crotch pants. When you were little, you even peed on my sun-dried mattress..."
Xu Lei's face turned red. "Village chief, you keep bringing up things from when we were kids..."
“I will take care of any of you if something happens to you. We are your village chiefs.”
"I understand, village chief. You're a good person."
Just then, Zhou Jin was sitting in the old courtyard of the Zhou family home, while his mother, Bai Lamei, was hosting the two elders of the Hua family to play golf on the lawn.
Zhou Hengzhi and Hua Xin were also there. Hua Xin was dressed in a black tracksuit and looked very capable, while Zhou Hengzhi was dressed in a white casual outfit... a perfect match.
The sun was shining brightly, and everyone was wearing baseball caps, looking relaxed and at ease.
Bai Lamei said to Hua Xin, "Come and have a cup of coffee. Girls shouldn't drink cold drinks."
Hua Xin smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, Auntie."
Zhou Hengzhi casually placed his hand on Hua Xin's shoulder. They were a perfect match, a handsome couple from equal social standing, a match made in heaven.
Whether it's Zhou Jin or her brother Zhou Hengzhi, the Zhou family should be inclusive and tolerant. Those petty people who desperately try to change their social class don't deserve a good ending.
Just then, Zhou Jin received a call from Ye Menglu, "It's all done, I'm leaving."
"You've already left? You've only been back in China for a short time?"
"It's been long enough. I didn't even want to come back, but your brother's men tied me up and brought me back. I'm so angry. Next time you see him, remember to kick him a couple of times and vent my anger."
Zhou Jin sighed, "Alright, then I won't see you off. Thank you, Monroe. I'll come find you when I'm free to move around."
