As soon as Cheng Wanwan arrived, the yard became quiet.
She looked at Zhao Fugui coldly and said with a smile: "It seems that the lesson learned last time did not make you remember it."
"Dashan Niang, Fugui has changed for the better a long time ago!" Zhao Sanpo defended her son, "In the past few months, Fugui has been living his life as he should. Do all the neighbors next door know about it, right?"
No one in the village said a word.
Zhao Fugui is more honest, but he is still a lazy man. He lies at home every day and leaves several acres of land to the two old men.
No one in Dahe Village thinks highly of Zhao Fugui, and even Zhao Fugui's wife and children no longer associate with him.
The villagers didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhao became anxious: "Anyway, it's a definite fact that my son is injured like this. Even if he goes to the government, I'm not afraid!"
Zhao Ergou followed quickly, stood in front of Cao Yingying, and lowered his voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
He raised his head and said coldly, "I said Miss Cao hurt Zhao Fugui. Is there any evidence?"
Zhao Fugui frowned and said, "She admitted it herself, so what more evidence is needed! Half of my life is gone. She must either marry me honestly or ruin her reputation and go to jail!"
Cheng Wanwan walked all the way back from Hekou County, and his legs were almost broken because of fatigue.
She sat down on the chair, took a sip of water, and then said, "Yingying, tell me what's going on."
Cao Yingying nodded, calmed down and said: "The second aunt asked me to go to Zhao Huhu's house to buy game. When I walked into the forest over there, I was pushed down by Zhao Fugui. He wanted to do something wrong to me, so I had no choice but to get hurt. After he couldn't resist, I ran back."
"Fart!" Zhao Fugui spat, "It was obviously you who invited me to the grove and said that you wanted to make raw rice and cooked rice. After that, you thought I was useless and turned your back on me, so the two of us started to quarrel. If you can’t win the argument, you’ll start committing murder..."
Cheng Wanwan smiled: "Zhao Fugui, do you mean that you have already cooked the rice?"
Zhao Fugui nodded: "Of course!"
Things have become like this, he must bite this point to death, must destroy Cao Yingying's innocence, and he must become the son-in-law of the Cao family!
"Okay!" Cheng Wanwan nodded, "Aunt Wang, please go and invite Mrs. Zhao Wen over. Mrs. Zhao Wen is responsible for delivering babies. You can tell at a glance whether Huanghua's eldest daughter is in charge. If Zhao Fugui lies, I know you will Are there any consequences?"
Zhao Fugui suddenly panicked.
Why didn't he think of this...
He immediately changed his mind: "Even if we haven't reached the last step yet, I have seen and touched. For the sake of Miss Cao's reputation, I still..."
"Shut up!"
Zhao Ergou couldn't hold back, walked over, grabbed Zhao Fugui's collar, and punched him hard.
Zhao Fugui was beaten until he was dizzy.
Zhao Sanpo rushed over to protect her son.
Cheng Wanwan pulled her lips and sneered: "Lying a lot and making nonsense really makes people doubt your intentions! Ergou, search your body!"
Zhao Ergou immediately stepped forward and touched Zhao Fugui.
He took out a money bag and poured out the contents. It was surprisingly ten taels of silver!
"Did everyone see clearly?" Cheng Wanwan said coldly, "Zhao Fugui stole money from the eldest lady of the Cao family, and in order to cover up the crime, he bit back the money! Ten taels of silver, this is a serious crime of theft!"
"Zhao Fugui is too courageous to steal money!"
"He even dares to steal money from the Cao family. He must be tired of living!"
"It's so pitiful that an unmarried girl should be splashed with such dirty water!"
"..."
Cheng Wanwan's words turned the debate about the innocence of the young girl into a condemnation and trial of the thief.
Zhao Fugui's eyes widened. When did he have ten taels of silver on him? Why didn't he know?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cheng Wanwan say coldly: "Er Gou, shut up his mouth. I don't want to hear him throw dirty water on a little girl again! Tie him up and throw him into the backyard." Stay! I'll deal with it later!"
"Da Shan Niang! This is a misunderstanding!" Zhao Sanpo knelt on the ground anxiously, "Fugui is just obsessed with money for a while, he has no ill intentions! The ten taels of silver are here, not a penny is missing, let's forget about this matter Can you do it... Sui Ruren, please..."
She knew that her son was a gangster who could do anything. Cheng Wanwan said that her son stole money, and she had no doubt at all.
Cheng Wanwan said one word at a time: "Stealing needles when you were young, stealing gold when you grow up. If this matter is not dealt with, Zhao Fugui may do some evil things in the future! Zhao Sanpo, you are old, you don't care about this Even the eldest son can’t take care of it, so let’s leave it to the government!”
Cao Yingying's eyes suddenly became moist.
She only had a few dozen coins that she had just taken out from the house to buy game. The ten taels of silver that Zhao Fugui had on her body were not hers at all.
She didn't know when Aunt Zhao hid the ten taels of silver with Zhao Fugui.
All she knew was that her innocence was almost destroyed by Zhao Fugui, but she was saved by Aunt Zhao's words...
She covered her face and tears flowed out silently.
Zhao Fugui was tied up by Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanniu and thrown into the back yard.
The people gathered around the yard dispersed to do their work, and the yard became quiet.
Just when Cheng Wanwan was about to take a good rest, suddenly, a carriage drove towards the door of Cheng Wanwan's house.
Although Cao Yingying's eyes were blurry with tears, she still recognized it at a glance. This was the Cao family's carriage.
She thought something was happening to the Cao family again, so she wiped away her tears and prepared to start fighting. At this time, the car curtain was opened, and a chubby figure got out first.
The tears that she had finally stopped burst out again in an instant, and she murmured: "Dad..."
"Yingying!"
Cao Defu jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly towards Cao Yingying, and took his daughter into his arms.
As soon as he arrived in Hekou County, he found out all the truth about the matter after returning home, and then rushed to Dahe Village to pick up his daughter.
This was the only child he had with his first wife, and he had always doted on him, but he was too busy with business, so it was inevitable that he would be negligent at times, which almost led to a big mistake.
"Dad!" Cao Yingying's tears flowed down, "Dad, why did you come here? I miss you so much..."
"There are so many people watching, don't cry!" Mrs. Cao came over and said softly, "Come on, Yingying, wipe your tears."
Cao Yingying raised her head suddenly. She stared at Mrs. Cao with questions in her eyes: "Dad, why is she here?"
Cheng Wanwan was also curious as to why Mrs. Cao was here. Logically speaking, after knowing what Mrs. Cao had done secretly, Cao Defu should have given Qi some punishment, so why did he act like a normal person.
She lowered her sense of presence and looked first before speaking.
"Yingying, actually this is just a misunderstanding..." Mrs. Cao took Cao Yingying's hand and said softly, "That Mr. Dou really wanted to marry a second wife. I planned to marry my natal girl, but you misunderstood me. Cheng wants to marry you. You are the eldest daughter of our Cao family. How can I match you with such a husband? You like to live in the village, and I don’t force you. Everything is up to you. I respect you. Just like your own child, can't you feel it? I don't care what outsiders say, I only care about your feelings, Yingying, tell your father, this is all just a misunderstanding..."
Cao Defu said: "I also sent someone to the Dou Mansion to ask. There is no such thing. Yingying, you have indeed misunderstood."
Cao Yingying bit her lower lip.
She understood that her father had not received her letter at all, otherwise he would not have come to take her home so late.
She also understood that if there was no evidence, her father would believe her stepmother's words again this time.
Fortunately, she kept the original of the marriage certificate and kept it under her pillow. She smiled and said, "Dad, I'll go in and get something out."
At this time, Zhao Ergou came out of the backyard and whispered something in Cheng Wanwan's ear.
Cheng Wanwan smiled, stood up, and said loudly: "Boss Cao, Mrs. Cao, we are such a rare visitor. Stop standing and talking. Sit down, Chunhua, and serve tea."
