Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
"Why should I? Apologizing to Li Yuncui's family I accept, apologizing to Wang Yaohua I also accept, but why should I have to apologize to Wang Erhai?"
Zhou Zhihao showed some resistance to the conditions Zhou Hongwei proposed.
He felt this matter had nothing to do with Wang Erhai, so there was absolutely no need to apologize to Wang Erhai.
Additionally, in his heart he actually held resentment toward Wang Erhai.
If Wang Erhai hadn't asked him to go guard the farm in Shanggou Village back then, he wouldn't have come into such close contact with Li Yuncui; if he hadn't come into close contact with Li Yuncui, then the subsequent series of events wouldn't have happened.
In his view, Wang Erhai actually needed to bear a certain responsibility for this matter.
So it shouldn't be him going to apologize to Wang Erhai; it should be Wang Erhai apologizing to him!
Seeing Zhou Zhihao looking like this, Zhou Hongwei immediately darkened his face and berated him:
"Zhou Zhihao, what kind of attitude is this! Wang Erhai has shown kindness to us, you've caused such a huge disaster and implicated him — isn't apologizing to him perfectly normal?"
But Zhou Zhihao muttered:
"That's kindness to you, Second Uncle, not kindness to me."
Zhou Hongwei was half-dead with anger at Zhou Zhihao, and in the end could only threaten:
"If you don't go apologize to Wang Erhai, don't even dream of me helping you pay that 100,000 yuan compensation!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhihao finally softened:
"Second Uncle, don't be like this, I'm your nephew!"
"Just say it — are you going or not to apologize to Wang Erhai?" Zhou Hongwei kept a long face, very displeased.
Honestly, with Zhou Zhihao's attitude, he almost didn't want to bother with Zhou Zhihao anymore.
"Fine, fine, fine. Once I'm out, I'll go apologize to him. That work?"
Zhou Zhihao ultimately agreed, though his attitude was somewhat perfunctory.
Zhou Hongwei's anger subsided a bit, then he said:
"I'll go with you to apologize to Wang Erhai then, and you'd better show some sincerity!"
And at this time, on the other side.
Wang Yaohua and his parents Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen had been cooped up at home for several whole days, still unable to pull themselves out of it.
Now that Li Yuncui was dead, their chance of getting the bride price money back was even more remote.
Wang Yaohua's wedding could be described as a failure among failures!
Not only did he fail to successfully marry a wife, he lost his entire net worth in the process!
The family of three was so depressed they were practically bleeding internally.
Finally Zhao Lifen couldn't hold back her anger and blurted out:
"This is all that bastard Wang Erhai's fault!"
Wang Yaohua and Wang Zhangtian both couldn't help but stare blankly at those words.
"Why are you blaming Wang Erhai?" Wang Zhangtian asked coldly.
After all, Wang Erhai was his nephew; he felt this matter, no matter what, couldn't possibly involve Wang Erhai.
However, Zhao Lifen said:
"That scoundrel Zhou Zhihao was invited to Shanggou Village to inspect the farm by Wang Erhai. He clearly knew there was romantic entanglement between Zhou Zhihao and Li Yuncui, yet he still invited Zhou Zhihao to Shanggou Village — isn't that deliberately making trouble? I see he just doesn't want our Yaohua to have it good! That treacherous merchant, full of cunning schemes! This is a trap he set for our Yaohua using Zhou Zhihao! A trap that kills without drawing blood!"
Zhao Lifen's words were spoken with such conviction and apparent logic.
Wang Zhangtian's face darkened:
"You're just talking nonsense. How could Wang Erhai possibly scheme that deeply!"
However, Wang Yaohua said:
"Dad, you can't say that. In my opinion, Wang Erhai really does bear responsibility for this! Zhou Zhihao was invited to Shanggou Village by him — that's an indisputable fact! And don't think of Wang Erhai as so simple; if he were simple, could he have made it big in the county town?"
Wang Zhangtian didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Zhao Lifen added:
"Back when Yaohua was working at Shanhai Real Estate in Guangzhou, wasn't it Wang Erhai who used a scheme to have another company lure our Yaohua away under the pretense of high-paying recruitment?"
Wang Zhangtian was left speechless again.
He barely remembered that anymore; it was so long ago.
Wang Yaohua's expression grew increasingly grave, and his resentment toward Wang Erhai deepened further.
Before, when he borrowed money from Wang Dashan, it was Wang Erhai who came to obstruct it.
Zhao Lifen stood up at this point and addressed Wang Zhangtian and Wang Yaohua:
"Come on, you two come with me to Wang Erhai's house. We're going to demand an explanation from Wang Erhai!"
Wang Zhangtian remained seated, not moving his buttocks an inch, just lowering his head and smoking.
No matter what, Wang Erhai was his own brother's son, his nephew.
Going to demand an explanation from Wang Erhai at this point would be tantamount to the two families tearing their faces completely.
But Wang Yaohua stood up.
This action of his showed he agreed with his mother's view.
He also felt it necessary to go demand an explanation from Wang Erhai.
"What are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and move!"
Zhao Lifen urged Wang Zhangtian.
Wang Zhangtian said coldly:
"If you want to go, you go. I don't have the face to go make a scene at someone else's home! Otherwise, when I die, I won't even have the face to go down and see my younger brother!"
Seeing Wang Zhangtian like this, Zhao Lifen was furious:
"Useless waste, you don't even dare to do a little thing! No wonder you've been poor for most of your life! If you won't go, fine, I'll go with Yaohua!"
Zhao Lifen said to Wang Yaohua:
"Yaohua, when you and I get to Wang Erhai's house later, don't be embarrassed to speak up. Anyway, your bearing must be fully imposing. You must make them pay a certain price, otherwise we'll have suffered a huge loss this time!"
Wang Yaohua nodded:
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you!"
So Wang Yaohua went to Wang Erhai's house together with Zhao Lifen.
At this time, Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran happened to be at home.
And Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing were also here.
The reason Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing were here was because Gu Wenqing wanted to conduct a more in-depth exchange interview with Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran, to obtain more information about Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran, so Wang Xiaohua brought her over again.
Several people were in the Living Room, eating Fruit and Snack while chatting.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
Wang Erhai couldn't help but feel puzzled:
"Who's come? I'll go Open Door!"
Then he hurriedly stood up to open the door.
Just as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Lifen standing at the Door with a dark face.
And behind Zhao Lifen stood Wang Yaohua.
"Eldest Aunt, Cousin, how did you come? Quick, come Inside and sit!"
Wang Erhai hurriedly invited Zhao Lifen and Wang Yaohua in.
At a glance, he could tell the mother and son before him had come with ill intent.
But he still politely invited them in to sit, after all they were relatives.
Sure enough, Zhao Lifen had just entered and hadn't even sat down before she confronted Wang Erhai:
"Wang Erhai, I ask you, was it you who invited Zhou Zhihao to Shanggou Village to look at the Farm?"
She was clearly asking the question already knowing the answer.
And this question, Wang Erhai fundamentally had no way to deny.
After all, the Farm Zhou Zhihao guarded was his, Wang Erhai's, Farm.
Once Zhao Lifen's words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed at once.
Zhang Yueran, who had still been smiling, also froze her smile, knowing things were not good.
Even Wang Xiaohua frowned slightly.
Because he knew these relatives too well.
If a real scene broke out, reasoning with them was completely useless!
