Chapter 451: Visiting Chen Jinfa, a Bit Miserable

Ye Cheng gave him a white eye,

"Fine, you're impressive, alright. But they didn't guess who did it?"

According to common sense, when something like this happens, everyone would discuss it a bit.

"I don't know this, I just heard the Chen family people saying that a few old guys gathered together, guessing who did it, but according to their thinking, it's likely someone from the Chen family themselves, because Chen Jinfa's situation seems to only involve the Chen family."

The reasoning is correct, except the Chen family doesn't know that Chen Jinfa messed with Ye Cheng's boat, and Ye Cheng knows about it.

And Chen Jinfa himself couldn't say it out loud, so it became a dead loop.

On Ye Cheng's side, only Xiao Hu and Li Quezi know; Duan Chunsheng doesn't.

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng coldly glanced at Li Quezi,

"Li Quezi, this matter is known only to heaven and earth, you and I know, and Xiao Hu knows too. Xiao Hu would never betray me; if something happened, I'd definitely come looking for you."

"Don't worry, you're my benefactors; even if you found me, I'd say I picked it up on the road, seeing the Chen family being screwed over, I felt a bit reluctant, so I posted it."

Li Quezi had already planned his retreat; given his personality, it's normal to have a backup plan—he's a real sly one.

"Alright, this 1000 dollars is your hush money." Ye Cheng pulled out 1000 dollars.

Actually, Ye Cheng isn't afraid of being exposed either; after all, Chen Jinfa was in the wrong first, he just doesn't want trouble.

After seeing Li Quezi off, Ye Cheng picked up a box of milk and headed toward the Chen family's place; he needed to check on Chen Jinfa.

He was beaten so badly; not going to see the results would be a loss.

"Anyone home?" Ye Cheng walked to Chen Jinfa's door and knocked.

Whether you knock or not doesn't matter much; the door's already been shoved and is wobbling, similar to Ye Cheng's previous courtyard gate.

"Coming, who is it?" A tired woman's voice came from inside, followed by Chen Jinfa's wife walking out.

She saw Ye Cheng and obviously froze for a moment.

Ye Cheng had no dealings with them, and his relationship with the Chen family was also bad; he seemed to have had several conflicts with her husband as well.

At this time, what is he here for?

If Ye Cheng weren't holding a box of milk, she would think he came to cause trouble.

"Aunt, I came to see my Uncle Jinfa." Ye Cheng spoke up first.

"Ah." Chen Jinfa's wife was a bit at a loss; indeed, she really came to see a person.

"Um, come in; Jinfa is lying in bed and can't get up."

"It's fine, I'll handle it myself; you hold this box of milk to give my Uncle Jinfa some nutrition." Ye Cheng handed the milk to Chen Jinfa's wife, then walked in.

The room was filled with a strong medicinal smell; Ye Cheng sniffed and looked toward the bedroom.

If you didn't look, you wouldn't know; but once you looked, you'd be startled.

Holy shit!

Is this a person or a zongzi?

Chen Jinfa lay in bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, even his head no exception.

Damn, this look almost made Ye Cheng laugh out loud, kinda offensive.

I didn't expect to have screwed you over this badly.

Seeing Ye Cheng come in, Chen Jinfa also froze, then spoke in a hoarse voice:

"How did you come?"

"Oh, I heard you got beaten, injuries are serious, came to have a look." Ye Cheng said while lowering his head, so people wouldn't see him smiling.

"Come, have some water." Chen Jinfa's wife brought in a cup of water, then sighed:

"These people are too ruthless, they beat my Jinfa into this state."

"It is a bit harsh; I originally thought we were all family, so just a couple of punches would do." Ye Cheng said hypocritically.

"Pfft, just a couple of punches—if I hadn't pretended to pass out, they could have beaten me to death." Chen Jinfa said angrily.

"These people don't even see me as a human." Chen Jinfa said, starting to feel sad.

"They beat me like this, still make me pay back money, and not a single person came to see me— not even as good as Lao Er you."

Ye Cheng thought to himself, you've scammed them out of so much money, what do they still see in you?

If I weren't coming to see how badly you got beaten, you'd think I'd come?

And wasting a box of milk.

"Maybe they were just impulsive." Ye Cheng said dryly.

"Didn't the Village Chief stop them?"

"He, heh." Chen Jinfa gave a cold chuckle twice.

"He'd love to cut ties with me."

Now Chen Jinfa finds everyone from the Chen family unpleasant, and doesn't reflect on his own problems.

This is good; this is exactly the effect Ye Cheng wanted.

"Uncle, although we don't get along, seeing you like this also makes me feel a bit heartbroken; they're too lacking in sentiment."

Ye Cheng looked anguished; Chen Jinfa felt a bit guilty, wondering if he had wrongly blamed Ye Cheng before—what a great guy, and he even came to see himself.

"Lao Er, I was sorry to you before, always opposing you; people say true feelings are revealed in crisis, and now I see it—among so many people, only you truly wish me well."

Chen Jinfa's heartfelt expression made Ye Cheng feel a bit embarrassed.

He patted his pocket; still had 300 dollars.

"Uncle, Aunt, this is 300 dollars; consider it as buying some supplements for my uncle."

Although 300 isn't much, Chen Jinfa's wife felt a bit embarrassed to accept it, quickly declining:

"How can that be, Lao Er? How could we take your money?"

"Oh, it's just a token, no other meaning." Ye Cheng pushed the money over, then said to Chen Jinfa:

Well, uncle, take good care of your wound; I won't bother you anymore.

Hey, Lao Er, you're really great. Chen Jinfa lay on the bed, unable to hold back tears.

If it's fine, then let it be; but if you knew I was the one who screwed you over, I don't know if you'd go crazy.

After turning them down, Ye Cheng walked out of Chen Jinfa's house; Chen Jinfa's wife escorted him to the door, her grateful look was as if she wanted to give her heart and soul.

Auntie, go back now; if I have time, I'll come again.

Back inside, Chen Jinfa's wife glanced dissatisfiedly at her husband, then said mockingly,

Look at you, still always tagging along with Jin Hai, fighting with others, and now you're in this state, yet people still come to see you—don't you feel ashamed?

Besides, their boat was also broken by you; we even took their money—I feel embarrassed just holding it.

Chen Jinfa furrowed his brows; the boat incident was something he had told his wife about,

Alright, you must never tell anyone.

I'm not as stupid as you, I wouldn't go blabbing; I can still tell good from bad.

Having said that, she didn't want to look at Chen Jinfa anymore, turned around and went to tidy the room.

After Ye Cheng left Chen Jinfa's house, it was already past 8 p. m., and the village began to quiet down.
