"You shameless little bastard, what are you looking at me for? I'll gouge your eyes out."
Zhou Chunyan has been at odds with Li Mei for years. She had previously swindled a lot of money from Li Mei's father, Zhou Qi, for herself and her younger brother. Both siblings had jobs, but Zhou Han couldn't stay in the city and had to go to the countryside.
"Shut up, nothing happened between us." Zhou Han wasn't a jerk; he wouldn't push all the blame onto his girlfriend. He quickly stepped forward to protect their reputations.
"Oh, what are you two doing here shirtless? Studying the latest instructions in the room?" Zhou Chunyan said sarcastically, and the onlookers burst into laughter again.
Zhou Han wanted them to leave, but Zhou Chunyan blocked the door and wouldn't budge an inch.
She wanted to see if the two adulterers would be arrested and paraded through the streets.
Chen Hongxia originally wanted to pull her daughter, but Zhou Han pulled her behind him, and her daughter started crying in his arms. Chen Hongxia felt dizzy and her head was buzzing.
I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!
Bai Xiangdong's face had been trampled on not long ago, and now he'd been humiliated again. He raised his hand to hit him again, but Chen Hongxia had no choice but to pull him back.
Li Mei and Zhou Chunyan were still arguing, and for a moment, cries and curses rose and fell, creating chaos.
"Enough!" Zhou Han finally couldn't take it anymore. He roared and immediately all the other sounds disappeared.
The onlookers watched with great interest as the young man, whose face turned red, was revealed to be just like his mother at heart. He had a good reputation in the area, but it turned out he was just like his mother at heart.
"Rong Jun and I have been dating for a long time. We can just get married right away."
Chen Hongxia shook her head. No, how could her daughter marry Zhou Qi's son?
Li Mei also disagreed. How could her son marry Chen Hongxia's daughter, that vixen? They would both be bewitched by them.
"I don't care about your messy affairs, but you did such a shameless thing in my mother's house. Tell me how much compensation you're going to pay?"
"Pay my ass! Isn't this the Zhou family's house?" Li Mei thought Zhou Chunyan was obsessed with money. Wasn't this house also her husband Zhou's?
Zhou Chunyan sneered, swung her arm and slapped Li Mei hard across the face. Zhou Han tried to come over but was also quickly slapped by her.
Everyone gasped, and Bai Jiamei, who had been stretching her head out, pulled it back.
"You dare hit me?" Li Mei couldn't believe that Zhou Chunyan, that little bitch, dared to hit her and even her precious son.
She lunged at Zhou Chunyan and they started fighting. The two pulled each other's hair. Zhou Han quickly tried to break them up. When Zhou Chunyan came over, she wasn't alone; there were several of her girlfriends with her.
These people were young and strong, with sharp nails, and soon the mother and son were covered in wounds on their faces and bodies.
The Zhou family's old house was on the first floor, and people were gathered around it. The fight was so fierce that no one dared to go up and stop it.
Lu Ronghui watched for a while and then turned back. It was worth it for her to write a note to Zhou Chunyan a few days ago. However, as she turned to leave, she saw He Shuyue outside the crowd.
He Shuyue had just seen her son and his family off on the train when she rushed back and heard that Rong Jun had an accident. When she arrived, she hesitated to squeeze in.
That child is so foolish, how could he do such a thing?
She decided not to go in yet, otherwise the onlookers would also curse at her.
Zhou Qi finally arrived. He roared and called everyone into the house, and chased away the other onlookers.
"What are you all doing? Don't you have any shame?!"
Zhou Qi is already fifty years old and has been trying hard to climb the ranks in recent years, but unfortunately he hasn't found an opportunity. However, he is still an official, and it's embarrassing for his own family members to do the same.
"Then you should scold the person who embarrassed you. Shameless! They actually had an affair in my mother's house!"
Zhou Chunyan and Li Mei started arguing again. Zhou Qi wearily rubbed the corner of his eye. "What exactly happened?"
His scrutinizing gaze was fixed on Chen Hongxia and her daughter. He wondered if they were planning to extort money from his family without actually paying, and if they would use this incident to force him to make arrangements for her daughter.
Chen Hongxia had been harboring resentment towards Zhou Qi for years due to his extortion, and this finally erupted.
"Your son raped my daughter, I'm going to sue him."
"Oh, so you're a rapist after all. I'm going to get the police to arrest you!"
Zhou Chunyan exclaimed excitedly, "If only we could send that little bastard to prison too!"
"It was your daughter who seduced my son. She's just like her mother, always trying to seduce men." Li Mei had long forgotten about how she had seduced Zhou Qi in the first place.
Bai Xiangdong calmed down and secretly scrutinized Zhou Qi and his wife, wondering if they were having an affair.
"Don't talk nonsense. Rong Jun and I have been dating for over a year." Zhou Han noticed his girlfriend's humiliated tears and quickly stepped in to protect her.
As soon as he spoke, Li Mei and Chen Hongxia started arguing again. Neither of them would give in, and they argued for a long time before finally sitting down to discuss what to do next.
Zhou Qi had no idea things would turn out this way. He had been away from Xin'an for the past few days and only returned today. As soon as he got back, he went to see Brother Gou, whom he had met before.
Dog Brother was very cautious, and he was alone with Zhou Qi. He told Zhou Qi that their business could not continue.
If Lu Yang had been there, he would have recognized this so-called "Dog Brother" as the man in the lower berth of the same carriage that day.
That day, after the two of them were arrested by the police, Dog Brother managed to escape because he didn't have any money or account books on him and no one knew his true identity.
He originally wanted to rush south, but after thinking about it, he decided to meet Zhou Han instead. Zhou Han was the first business partner he had developed.
Previously, Dog Brother and his team were responsible for smuggling goods from other places and then selling them on the black market in different provinces and cities to make a profit from the price difference.
Zhou Han, relying on his father's influence, had always held a certain position in the black market. He considered "speculation and profiteering" a highly profitable business, and he panicked when he heard that Brother Gou wanted to disband.
"Why disband? We've worked so hard to grow to our current size."
"They were all wiped out, and there's no manpower left." This time, almost all of the smuggling partners in Northeast China were gone, dealing a heavy blow to their business.
"If someone could go there and start a business again, I wouldn't want to give up this piece of the pie."
Dog Brother left after he finished speaking, but Zhou Han thought about it for a long time. Since he was going to the countryside anyway, why not go to the Northeast?
He sold disassembled radios on the black market, earning seventy dollars apiece. In just a few days, he made a thousand dollars, which was several years' salary for his father.
He had originally planned to discuss with his girlfriend that he would go to Northeast China for a few years, leaving her alone in Xin'an, and that he would come back to get married once he had earned enough money.
Bai Rongjun had recently gone through a lot, and she immediately hugged him and started crying. Zhou Han held her in his arms to comfort her, unable to suppress his own impulses.
The house had been uninhabited for many years, and the key had always been kept at home. He stole the key and brought Bai Rongjun over, but unexpectedly, his sister stopped him inside the house.
She also called over a large group of people to embarrass them.
"Alright, stop arguing. I'm going to marry Rong Jun." He's a responsible man and would never shirk his responsibilities.
Since things have already escalated, marriage is the best way to minimize the damage.
