Chapter 173 Li Manying Lost Again
As they were talking, the group had already arrived at Wu's Pork Shop. Father Cheng was the first to see them and hurriedly called out, "Girl!"
Mrs. Wu had just praised the good meat to others, glanced at Cheng's father, and smiled helplessly. However, she hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and the old man missed his daughter so much that she, as a mother, felt inferior to him.
In the past, we really couldn't see each other, so he would just hide away and wipe his tears. But now we see each other every day, and he's still like this.
Cheng Yue jumped out of the car and walked forward, smiling and calling, "Dad, Mom!"
Chen An and Chen Lin, brother and sister, also called for help. Mrs. Wu was very happy, "Xiao Lin is getting more and more energetic!"
I see Chen Tong and Chen Ning often, but I haven't seen Chen Lin in the shop for a long time. Now looking at him this way, I always feel that Chen Lin has changed the most.
Chen Lin grinned, "Grandma and grandpa are getting younger and younger!"
This made Cheng's father, Mrs. Wu, laugh out loud, "Hahaha, this little mouth is getting sweeter!"
Chen Tong covered his mouth and laughed, "Brother is doing business in the shop now, and he speaks nice words as if they are free."
The whole family laughed again, and Chen Lin also smiled shyly. Father Cheng said, "This is great. The more you meet people, the more you will become."
Not only Chen Lin has changed, but Cheng Feng has also changed a lot recently. He used to be sullen, but now he can even make a joke.
This is the benefit of interacting with more people.
The pork shop was busy doing business, not a place for conversation. Cheng Yue bought some meat and said, "Mom and Dad, we'll go back first. Tomorrow is the festival, we'll come back in the afternoon and have a family reunion dinner together!"
They have to set up stalls in the morning and only have time in the afternoon.
Mrs. Wu nodded happily: "Okay! I will keep the meat. Eh? Whose are those two children?"
The ox cart was parked in front of the pork shop to avoid blocking the road, so Cheng Yue asked Lai Xing and Lai Wang to park in an open space nearby and watch, so Wu only saw the two of them now.
"That's the shop assistant. I just bought it a while ago. Isn't it a festival? The two children have nowhere to go, so it's a good opportunity to bring them back."
Wu was surprised for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "Bring them to our house for dinner tomorrow."
There's plenty of time tomorrow, we can talk slowly if we have anything to say.
"Okay, then we'll go first!"
After leaving the pork shop, Cheng Yue and the others went to the grain shop to buy some fine rice and flour for Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong.
The current technology for refining rice and flour is not up to standard, so there is definitely no room for improvement.
But the rice and flour in the space are too eye-catching. It’s okay to eat at home, but it’s not suitable to give to others as a gift. I’m afraid they will feel uneasy while eating it, and I want them to think about the price while eating it.
It’s better to buy it at the grain store and give it away for free. It doesn’t cost much anyway.
After buying rice and flour, they went to meet Zhang Shaowen and Zhao Changyong under a big tree at the entrance of the town.
Cheng Yue said that they were not allowed to buy meat, so the two of them only bought some snacks and headbands.
"This has been divided up. Each of you will get one share. And you can also take this money. It's your hard work pay for the first half of the month."
The group of people sat on the ox cart. Cheng Yue took out the things in her hand and divided them up. When the time came, she let them take them home directly to avoid being seen by their families at the door and causing another fuss.
Zhao Changyong and Zhang Shaowen weighed the meat and grains in the shop every day and could tell how many pounds the meat and grains weighed at a glance.
There must be three pounds of meat, ten pounds of rice and flour, and the purse given by Cheng Yue. It was heavy. Although they didn't want to open it to see, they knew it must be necessary, and they felt even more embarrassed.
Zhao Changyong said embarrassedly: "Sister Cheng Yue, we have accepted the meat and grain, so we don't want the money. We have already been paid for our work, so how can we ask for any labor fee?"
Refined rice and flour are expensive, almost the same price as meat. So many pounds cost about two hundred coins, plus the money given, it is probably enough for half a month's wages for them.
Zhang Shaowen also blushed, "Aunt Cheng Yue, you only said you would give me meat and rations, why did you also give me money? If my grandfather finds out, he will definitely scold me again. Besides, we are not working hard."
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Just take it if I give it to you. I'm the boss, how can I let myself lose money?"
Chen Lin shook the purse in his hand and said with a silly smile: "Take it, I have some too!"
Zhao Changyong and Zhang Shaowen looked at each other, then looked at Chen Tong, Chen Ning, and Lai Xing and Lai Wang who also wanted to take the money, and then they accepted it.
Since everyone has it, they might as well accept it. Sister-in-law Cheng Yue (Auntie) is so generous to them, so they just need to work hard in the future.
As the group was talking, they soon arrived at the entrance of the village, where a group of people had gathered again. To be more precise, a group of people had gathered in front of the Zhao family's house.
"Mom! It hasn't been long since Li Manying cheated on her, and Chen Ping has brought a woman home with him, and a seven or eight-year-old son. Who would believe him if he said it wasn't intentional?"
"The rice has been cooked, Chen Ping is not afraid, Li Manying and Sloppy Brother have already signed the marriage certificate, what else can be done?"
"This Chen Ping is really evil! He schemed against his own wife like this, bah! He even said that the child was not his, who would believe it?
That man can raise a child for someone else, isn't that a big mistake?"
Cheng Yue was shocked when she heard this. Did he bring his mistress back? And he even said the child was not his for the sake of face?
She really wondered how abnormal Chen Ping's train of thought was. He obviously cared more about his face than anyone else, but he turned around and was always the one who slapped him the loudest in the face.
Right after Li Manying's incident, he took his mistress back. I don't know if he thinks she is a fool or if there is something wrong with his brain?
"Chen Ping! You still don't admit it? No wonder I don't remember anything that day. You must have drugged me!
I was happy, and asked why you bought me some snacks. It turned out that you were deliberately trying to harm me! Just to take this bitch and the bastard home!"
These past two days, Li Manying was either quarreling with Zhang Laita or waiting for Chen Ping to come back at the intersection. She knew she couldn't go back, but she couldn't help but look at Chen Ping a few more times.
As a result, today not only did I wait for Chen Ping, but I also waited for Chen Ping’s mistress and bastard?
Suddenly her blood boiled and her mind became clear. She was not a fool. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had fallen into Chen Ping's trap!
It was all her fault that she was so happy and complacent that she thought Chen Ping knew how to love her, but it turned out to be all a conspiracy!
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! You're the one who's being naughty and can't control your legs, and you're blaming my son? How dare you criticize others when you made a mistake yourself!"
Zhao was like an old hen, she stood with her hands on her hips and cursed. All she said was the same thing: she would never admit it, no matter how hard she tried. What could Li Manying do?
Li Manying's chest heaved with anger, and he slapped him, "You old beast! It must have been you who came up with this idea!"
Chen Ping immediately stepped forward to stop him, and said fiercely: "What are you crazy about! We are no longer related. If you come to my house to make trouble and frame me, I will report you to the police!"
Drugged? What evidence did Li Manying have to say that he drugged? If Ah Rou wasn't kind and didn't want to hurt anyone's life, he wouldn't have spared her life at all!
Li Manying was stunned when she saw Chen Ping's warning eyes. There was not only a warning in his eyes, but also a blatant murderous intent...
This is the man who has been with her for more than ten years. Not only did he use such despicable means to plot against her, he even wanted to kill her?
Li Manying really couldn't swallow this breath, but she was also really scared. She didn't want to die...
When Cheng Yue saw this while standing on the ox cart, she knew that Li Manying had lost again. She felt a little sad, not for Li Manying, but for the women of this era.
Li Manying walked out in a daze. Several women in the village seemed to have forgotten how hateful she was. They came forward to comfort her and told her to live a good life with Zhang Laita.
Even if it was Chen Ping's plan, what could he do? Li Manying had no choice.
Chen An had no expression on his face. He swung the reins and said, "Let's go!"
Cheng Yue also found it boring. She had originally wanted to see Li Manying torture Zhao, but who knew the plot would develop like this?
But looking at Chen Ping's mistress, she doesn't seem like a good person. I wonder if she can take on the baton of torturing Zhao?
Especially when Chen Ping is no longer employed...she is still a little looking forward to it.
