Chapter 594: The Counterattack of the Former Female Lead 29
Cao Meng didn’t enter the house either and urged, "Don’t ask now; I’m here to call you to go see the show at Old Qiao’s house."
"Wasn’t it said that something happened to Fan Cheng? Why is Old Qiao’s house being mentioned again?"
Yuan Chun’s acting was impeccable, not revealing at all that she was pretending not to know.
Cao Meng chuckled, "Last night, Fan Cheng slept with Old Qiao’s Silly Girl, and now Old Qiao’s family is forcing him to marry her."
Yuan Chun put on a shocked expression, "The Silly Girl who would chase her brother with a hatchet? What was Fan Cheng thinking? Is he so rattled by Wang Shufang’s situation that he also wants to learn from Wang Shufang and marry a fool?"
"Hahaha... Yuan Chun, you might be right; otherwise, why would he, being no fool, sneak into Old Qiao’s house in the middle of the night and sleep with that Silly Girl? Hahaha... Just thinking about Fan Cheng having to marry a fool cracks me up."
"Enough, you better wipe that smirk off your face; no matter what, it’s an educated youth’s affair. We should go see if we can be of assistance."
Eager to see the commotion, yet speaking about helping with such confidence, Cao Meng gave Yuan Chun a thumbs up, "You’re truly something."
The two women didn’t even bother with breakfast, rushing off to Old Qiao’s house to see the spectacle.
Yan Hui and Zheng Jun followed behind their young wives, exchanged a glance with each other and saw helplessness and affection in one another’s eyes.
When the group arrived at Old Qiao’s house, they saw Fan Cheng, in the freezing cold, wearing just a pair of large shorts, kneeling at the doorstep, held down by the Qiao brothers.
Mrs. Qiao was holding the Silly Girl, cursing him loudly while sobbing.
Mr. Qiao was talking to the team leader, "He sneaked into my daughter’s room and ruined her reputation. I’m not even pressing charges; I just want him to pay an eighty yuan bride price and marry my daughter, then I’ll let him go. Otherwise, I’ll send him to the police."
"That’s nonsense! You kidnapped me and drugged me. Don’t think only women have reputations; we men do too. I’ve guarded my chastity for over twenty years, now ruined by your silly daughter, and I haven’t even settled that with you, yet you want to force me to marry a fool? I’m going to the police to report this."
These words were undoubtedly fuel on the fire.
The Qiao brothers beat him up while holding him down, "Damn it, you slept with our sister and won’t take responsibility, trying to throw mud on us? I’m warning you, you’d better behave, or you won’t leave Old Qiao’s house today."
"You... you’re bullying me too much! I will report you. Let me go! Team leader, I’m an educated youth from the city, and the villagers are bullying me like this. You can’t ignore it. If I die, people in your village won’t have peace. Killing an educated youth is no small matter. Team leader, you don’t want to lose your position, do you?"
Fan Cheng raised his bruised face and looked at the team leader, with words laced with threats.
Cao Meng whispered in Yuan Chun’s ear, "My goodness, the issue with sleeping with the silly girl isn’t resolved yet, and Fan Cheng dares to threaten the team leader? Doesn’t he know a strong dragon can’t repress a local snake? This Fengshui Village is their turf; when it comes down to it, isn’t it just a matter of their word? An outsider like him, sleeping with someone’s daughter and still acting brazenly—is he not afraid of a painful death?"
