Chapter 102: I Didn't Take You Seriously
Chen Yu sneered and pointed at the bald man, saying, "If he were an ordinary person, I would have let it go after teaching him a lesson today."
"But he is not. He is a disciple of your Thirteen Taibao, Li Zhongyi. As a martial artist, he does not cultivate his character, but instead follows thugs to threaten others and run amok everywhere. Crippling his two arms is a light punishment."
"Li Zhongyi, you had best not fall into my hands again in the future. Otherwise, I fear the Golden Bell Shield among the Thirteen Taibao will need a new practitioner. Now, take your disciple and get out of here immediately."
Li Zhongyi's expression was very ugly, but he had no other choice. He gritted his teeth, woke his disciple, and left in a dejected manner with the crippled bald man.
"Wait," Chen Yu called out to him.
"What else do you want?" Li Zhongyi asked angrily.
"Golden Wound Medicine. Your disciple's neck wound was caused by a divine weapon; without this medicine, he will bleed to death." Chen Yu tossed a bottle of medicine over.
Li Zhongyi caught the medicine and then left.
Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief; only then could he consider these thugs dealt with. He turned back to look at Song Mengyan, who had been dumbfounded for a while, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry. You are a girl; you shouldn't have seen such a bloody scene. I'll be sure to control myself in the future."
"These people are too wicked; they deserved to be beaten," Song Mengyan said bitterly.
"Do you think I'm very violent?" Chen Yu asked with a sheepish smile.
"No, I think you are... very manly." Song Mengyan looked at Chen Yu earnestly, a glimmer of admiration flashing in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, President Song, I really had no choice." After waiting for a moment, Li Xiangqi came over and apologized repeatedly.
Li Xiangqi's glasses were broken, and his face was covered in bruises; it was clear that Wang Yu and his group had laid hands on him.
"Director Li, are you alright? Don't worry, I've taught those people a lesson; they won't dare to come and cause trouble again," Chen Yu said.
"Sigh, Xiaoyu, thank you so much. Those people are the local Medicine Tyrants who control the Fengling Traditional Chinese Medicine Market. Furthermore, the medicine here must be sold to the medicine merchants they designate, and they even take a cut to make exorbitant profits."
"Honestly, with them around, our Yaoshan will never be able to develop. Now that you've solved the problem, the future of our Yaoshan will surely be better," Li Xiangqi said gratefully.
"Ha, Director Li, you are too polite. I am also from here, and we are all fellow villagers, so it's no problem. Let's sign the Contract," Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Good, good. Once the Contract is signed, I will contact your father if anything comes up in the future," Li Xiangqi said.
"Alright," Chen Yu nodded.
After signing the Contract, Chen Yu went back to his hometown to take a look.
His uncle's family had been very well-behaved since he dealt with them last time. The foundation for the old house in his hometown had already been laid, and the new house was already under construction. His uncle and cousin worked day and night, fearing that if they finished too late, Chen Yu would punish them.
"Dad, the contracting Contract has been signed. You can reassure the fellow villagers that from now on, everyone will only earn more, not less." Still in that tin house, Chen Yu talked with his father.
"Good. It's best to get rid of Wang Yu's gang. Over these years, he hasn't taken few benefits, and everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out." Chen Wenzhong nodded. He looked at Song Mengyan to the side: "Xiaoyu, who is this?"
"This is President Song, the president of Tianyun Group," Chen Yu smiled. "President Song, this is my father."
"Hello, Uncle," Song Mengyan greeted him warmly.
"Oh, hello, hello." Chen Wenzhong pulled Chen Yu to the side and said with some reproach: "What is going on with you? Every time you come back, the woman you bring is different? I'm telling you, don't mess around. Xinyu is already pregnant, and I'm waiting to hold my grandchild."
"Dad... you're overthinking it. We are just business partners," Chen Yu said, unable to laugh or cry.
"Overthinking? Dad has been through it all; the way she looks at you is different. You brat, you need to be aware of this yourself," Chen Wenzhong snorted.
"Old Chen, this is some osmanthus cake I made; I brought some over for you." Just then, the door opened, and a woman in her forties walked in.
Although the woman was a bit older, her skin was very good, and there were no wrinkles on her face; she didn't look like a rural person at all.
Chen Yu recognized her; she was a widow from the neighboring village. Her husband died when she was young, and she never remarried. She had no children, and Chen Yu called her Yun Yi.
"Ah, thank you," Chen Wenzhong hurriedly went to take it, then said somewhat flustered: "Come in and sit for a while."
"No, you have guests," Yun Yi smiled.
"Yun Yi, it's fine, we're all our own people." Chen Yu saw the expressions of the two and understood instantly.
It turned out that this Yun Yi and his father had some kind of relationship; otherwise, why would she run several miles to deliver osmanthus cake to him? And looking at his father's expression, there was actually a shyness like when one is first in love. Did this even need to be asked?
However, this Yun Yi had a hard life. Her husband died when she was very young, and she had not remarried all these years, staying home to take care of her mother-in-law. Moreover, her mother-in-law was a notoriously wicked woman, and she had suffered quite a bit over the years.
And Chen Yu had also heard that she had come to take care of his father many times when his hand was injured. If the two of them were truly interested, then they should just be together.
"No, Xiaoyu, I still have things to do." Yun Yi gave a shy smile, turned around, and left.
"Dad... ask her to stay," Chen Yu pushed Chen Wenzhong.
"Huh?" Chen Wenzhong was stunned: "Xiaoyu, you..."
"Hurry up. Yun Yi is a good person. Do you plan to be single for the rest of your life?" Chen Yu said.
"You, you don't object?" Chen Wenzhong hesitated.
"Object to what? Go quickly." Chen Yu pushed him out.
Only then did Chen Wenzhong hurriedly run out, chasing after her in a panic and shouting: "Yun..."
"What is it?" Yun Yi turned back.
"Come home and sit for a while, let's go have a meal in a bit," Chen Wenzhong hesitated for a moment.
"Okay." A hint of a smile gradually spread across Yun Yi's face.
"Yun Yi, sit down quickly. Thank you for taking care of my father during those days when his hand was injured," Chen Yu smiled.
"It's nothing, just a small favor, don't be so polite," Yun Yi smiled.
"Dad, let's go have a meal in a bit," Chen Yu said cheerfully, thinking about how to play matchmaker; his father really hadn't had it easy all these years.
"Okay," Chen Wenzhong nodded.
Yun Yi was startled. Chen Yu's meaning was very clear: he accepted her. Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head.
Just at this moment, with a bang, the tin house was hit hard by a brick, and immediately after, vicious cursing sounded from outside: "Wu Yun, you unchaste, shameless woman, get out here!"
"It's my mother-in-law." Yun Yi's expression changed drastically, and she was at a loss.
The cursing outside grew louder and more vicious. With a crash, the glass was smashed, and there was a series of banging sounds outside.
"I'll go out and see." Chen Yu could no longer tolerate it; he stood up and walked out, and Chen Wenzhong, Yun Yi, and the others hurriedly followed.
At the entrance of the house, an old woman was cursing loudly. This old woman had a fierce Appearance, and one could tell at a glance that she was not a kind person.
Seeing Chen Wenzhong and Yun Yi, she couldn't help but curse even more fiercely.
"You pair of dogs, you are truly not human. You surnamed Wu, you are unchaste; my son is gone, and you are out hooking up with people everywhere? You dress up all flashy every day just to go out and mess around."
Yun Yi's face was livid; she stood there silently, letting the old woman scold her.
"And you, Chen, acting all high and mighty every day, seducing someone's widow—are you even human?"
"Shut up." Chen Yu was enraged.
"Are you the son of that Chen?" The old woman glanced at Chen Yu and scolded even more gleefully: "That Chen doesn't even know where he picked up a bastard like you; do you have any right to speak here?"
