Chapter 14

She walked for a while and found the two children. She offered them generously, “One cent each. Wait until you call the people from the committee and then give them another cent each. Remember, if you say that the older brother slept with the younger brother’s fiancée and that she’s pregnant with a bastard, tell them to come and catch them in the act.”

“If it’s too late, we won’t be able to catch them in the act, and you won’t get the money later.”

“On your way back, you must shout along the way, calling people who are free to come and watch the fun. The more people you call, the more I will give you. I will add 1 cent for each person I call, and the maximum is 1 dollar.”

“This money is enough for you to buy a lot of popsicles.”

What kid wouldn’t crave popsicles at three cents a popsicle? Even parents wouldn’t be willing to spend the money on them every day.

The two children’s eyes lit up, and the taller one nodded first. “Comrade, leave it to us. The address is No. 20, South Leather Shoe Factory Street. I’ve got it. Come on, Da Mao. One dollar and twenty cents can buy a lot of popsicles.”

The child had already calculated the money he could earn, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them turned around and ran away quickly.

Zhang Xiyue turned back to look for the man. Seeing that he looked unwell, she felt his pulse and said, “Comrade, you’ve been poisoned. Your obesity is also caused by poisoning, and you’ve also been poisoned by the Heart-Eating Powder.”

“This poison won’t kill you in the short term, but it will over time. It can easily cause heart failure. If you overexert yourself and your heart beats too fast, you’ll be dead.”

Shen Wangzhi’s face was pale. “It seems that my biological father and vicious stepmother can’t wait to kill me. How many years can I live? They just want me to die quietly in the countryside.”

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of not being able to avenge his mother and grandparents.

Zhang Xiyue said confidently: “I have a way to save you and detoxify you. Do you have money? I won’t save you if you don’t have money.” She would not do a business that would lose money. It would be troublesome to detoxify the Heart-Eating Powder. The herbs alone would cost ten dollars.

“What? You can really save me? Money is not a problem. What about my lifespan? If the herbs are not enough, I can still live for a few more years. I also want revenge.”

His mother and his grandparents all died as a result of Chen Hong’s scheme. As long as he reports Chen Hong’s crimes, he will definitely be sent down to the countryside for reform.

Zhang Xiyue continued, “The medicinal materials are a bit troublesome. The cost alone is ten yuan. My medical skills are worth a thousand gold. I will charge you ten yuan for the consultation. Also, you can’t tell outsiders that I have medical skills.”

“I’ll give you a prescription and you can go buy the medicine yourself. You can ask an old Chinese doctor about your poisoning situation. I’m not mad at you. There will always be someone who can tell that you are poisoned.”

“Before, you were a little fat, and there was nothing wrong with you. Even after you detoxified, you still needed to exercise to lose weight.”

“Okay, stop talking and save your energy for cursing.”

Shen Wangzhi looked at Zhang Xiyue stupidly. She was like a goddess who came down from the sky and saved him when he was about to faint from a fever. He didn’t dare to think that if he missed this opportunity, he would have to go to the countryside, and it would be too difficult to wipe out the Chen family.

“Comrade, thank you, I believe you…” Since he was allowed to see a doctor, he must be a capable one.

Hearing someone coming, Zhang Xiyue reminded, “It’s your turn to perform, go ahead. The leader is my uncle, Shen Wangzhi, you can give full play to your abilities, he is fair in his dealings.”

The leader, Li Hongjun, was wearing glasses, was over 10 years old, had an upright posture, and was wearing a washed-out Zhongshan suit. He looked intimidating without even being angry.

Shen Wangzhi was helped by his friend Lu Xiao who came over to help him avoid falling. He pushed the door open and yelled at the two people who were exercising in the room, “Zhou Min, Chen Jianye, you two dogs and adulterers,, they should go to the farm for reform.”

“Chen Jianye, if you like my fiancée, you can tell me first and I’ll let you. But you are so cruel and vicious. Yesterday you pushed me into the water and almost drowned me.”

“If I hadn’t woken up today, I would have almost burned myself into a fool.”

His father Chen Hong had told him about his plan to wipe out the family when his mother fell ill, but it was too late. Before his mother died, she held his hand and asked him to be patient and wait until the situation improved before taking revenge.

They cannot disregard their own safety for the sake of revenge. They cannot take off the label of landlords now, but at least his father is a farmer and has a good background, which can save him from being sent to the cowshed.

The two people on the bed were frightened. They stopped moving and screamed the next second, “Ah, get out!”

Shen Wangzhi took a deep breath and said, “I heard Chen Jianye say he was going to beat you to death with a big stick, and you cried and begged for mercy, saying no, no, no. So I dragged my sick body out to find my aunt to rescue you. Who knew you were having an affair with Chen Jianye?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the two people on the bed and pointed.

“Oh, how embarrassing! If a virgin doesn’t understand what it means, how can we not understand it?”

“It’s broad daylight now. If you want to have an affair, do it at night. It’s not good to have sex in the daytime.”

“Oh, I didn’t expect Zhou Min’s body to be so good, so whiteEven Chen Jianye is too young. Can he satisfy Zhou Min?”

“I tell you, a woman who dares to mess around with men before marriage must have a strong desire.”

Zhou Min cried, “Get out, all of you, get out. This is the Chen family. How dare you outsiders come in? Get out now.”

“That’s right, my dad is the director of the shoe factory, you better be careful.” Chen Jianye echoed the threat.

Li Hongjun took a closer look and teased, “Alright, this incident has such a huge impact, we can’t hide it. You need to go to the farm for reform. Get ready. I’m Li Hongjun from a certain committee, and I’ll personally oversee your affairs this time.”

This matter could not be covered up, and many people followed along the street to watch the excitement, and he even saw his niece.

At this time, it was noon, Chen Hong and Liu Meixin were returning home from get off work, and saw a group of people gathered at their door. They thought that the person who was an eyesore was dead, and they were grinning, but were teased by everyone’s strange looks.

It was Yang Lijuan, who was close to Liu Meixin, who reminded her, “Meixin, you’re still smiling, but your son is going to be sent down to the countryside for reform.”

Liu Meixin was so frightened that she said anxiously: “What? What’s going on? My son is at home, how could this happen? Are you kidding me?”

Yang Lijuan rolled her eyes. “Your son was having an affair with Wang Zhi’s fiancée, Zhou Min, and they got caught by the Revolutionary Committee. You can’t hide it. Look, there are a hundred people here. Can you really silence them all?”

She had seen the two of them dating in the park before, but she didn’t tell anyone about such a big thing. Now, she’s in trouble. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. If they want to fool around, they don’t know how to choose the right time. At least they have to wait until the engagement is broken off.

Liu Meixin hurriedly pushed people aside and walked inside. When she saw her son and Zhou Min lying naked on the bed, with several people from the Revolutionary Committee there, she fainted.

Chen Hong walked up to Li Hongjun and said with a shameless face, “Comrade, this is our child’s fault. Can you please let him go for the sake of his young age? I will let the two children get the marriage certificate immediately, and they will never make the same mistake again.”

“Director Li, we are all human and to make mistakes. Jianye made a mistake, so why not give him another chance? What do you think?”
