The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 134 - 138: Phoenix Man, This Kind of Creature (20)

Chapter 134: Chapter 138: Phoenix Man, This Kind of Creature (20)

"Son, you can’t take that out..." Shi Erxiu, seeing the bracelet she treasured and hid being dug out, instantly wanted to snatch it back.

But the Bald man wasn’t about to let her have her way, he stepped forward and snatched the box from Zheng Zhanpeng’s hands.

Upon opening the box and seeing the quality, the Bald man clicked his tongue in wonder, "With your family’s condition, you still have such nice things. They couldn’t have been stolen, could they?"

"Fart, this is a gift from my daughter-in-law, give it back to me now." Shi Erxiu was no longer afraid, this was all their family had left. If they lost it, they wouldn’t be able to survive in the future.

"You saw it too, my wife definitely has money. Go ask her for it."

As soon as Zheng Zhanpeng finished speaking, he saw the Bald man’s few followers giving him a pitying look—this guy really didn’t know what was coming.

Despite the Bald man’s ruffian appearance, he deeply loved his wife and despised men who didn’t treasure their wives or committed domestic violence.

This man in front of them was even worse, pushing a group of ill-intentioned people towards his wife...

The boss surely wouldn’t let him off easily.

Thinking of this, the few followers simultaneously stepped back, leaving space for the boss, so he wouldn’t be restricted when he started.

The Bald man kicked something by his feet with a smile, "Have your wife pay it back?"

Zheng Zhanpeng sensed something amiss and tensed up even more, "Yes, yes..."

"What is this then?" The big man bent down and picked it up.

It was the court decision Zheng Zhanpeng had just received, "You and your ex-wife are already divorced, the child is awarded to your ex-wife."

"Well, it’s better for the child to be with her mother..."

The Bald man decided he would hit twice as hard later on.

"I, I..."

"I’ve got another place to go to after this, make it quick." The Bald man grew impatient to talk to them, it looked like they couldn’t pay either, "We’ll take the bracelet as part of the debt."

Then, without waiting for the Zheng family to respond, he rose up, grabbed Zheng Zhanpeng like a chicken with his iron grip, and threw a punch at his stomach.

That punch made Zheng Zhanpeng’s body curl up like a shrimp.

As soon as the big man made a move, the few women in the room screamed continuously.

The followers behind him sneered and moved forward cleverly, some covering mouths, others pulling arms.

"Boss, you can go all out, we’ll definitely not cause any disturbance or make noise."

Zheng Zhanpeng was thoroughly beaten and extremely irritated. What worried him even more was that he also had loans from other lending platforms. Just this first encounter was nearly fatal, and for the rest...he didn’t dare to think further.

The other members of the Zheng family were also terrified. It was Zheng Youli who spoke first, "Tonight, let’s go back to the countryside, sell the newly built house, and pay off the remaining loans as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhanpeng felt the chilling reality, compound interest was truly frightening.

But Shi Erixu wouldn’t accept it, "Head of the household, that house is our new build. To just sell it, are we going back to living in a tiled house?"

After all, everyone praised her son’s filial piety for building that house.

Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi were also reluctant. Initially, because their family had prospered, their status in their in-law’s home had also risen. Now everything had reverted, and it was hard for them to save face.

Zheng Youli swung his dry tobacco pipe and struck each silly woman, "Our son is the root of our old Zheng Family. With him, we can build something even better in the future."

Zheng Zhanpeng was awkwardly avoiding everyone’s gaze; they were not fully aware, but he certainly was.

The construction of their house had largely depended on Su Qing’s former subsidies.

But as Zheng Zhanpeng recalled the menacing and brutal demeanor of those scoundrels, his legs trembled, and the pain of their punches felt almost unbearable.

He did not want to suffer through that again, and no amount of scheming could replace seeing Su Qing, who had been avoiding him on purpose.

Once Zheng Youli spoke, no one dared to contradict.

That very night, they packed up and quietly returned to the countryside in the middle of the night.

The family nearest to the Zheng Family’s house heard rustling noises in the middle of the night and thought there was a thief.

They woke up the wife and grabbed hoes and rakes, ready to catch the thief.

The neighbors had made quite a scene when they moved to the city; their son had gotten prosperous there and was taking them to enjoy a better life. Shi had even gone to their house to show off, and now, there was no one in that newly built house.

The Zheng Family sneaked around, not wanting to make any noise—how glorious they had been when they left, and now they just wanted to keep a low profile. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

In the darkness, the Zheng Family members were mistaken for bold thieves by the awakened neighbors and were soundly beaten.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting... it’s me..."

Shi Erxiu was the first to succumb, crying out, "I am Zhanpeng’s mother..."

Zheng Youli could take it; he firmly kept his mouth shut, not making a sound, but with a silly woman revealing herself once Shi Erxiu spoke, he had no choice but to hoarsely say, "You Jun, stop, it’s me..."

Hearing the familiar voices, the Jun Family was startled and quickly turned on the light.

At that moment, Zheng Zhanpeng and his family were injured more than before. Fearing being held accountable, the Jun Family’s wife adopted an accusatory tone, complaining, "You’ve come back, why did you sneak around without even turning on the light? We thought your house had been burglarized..."

Shi Erxiu retorted, "It’s our own house; we can choose whether or not to turn on the lights, but it was wrong of you to beat us..."

Unexpectedly beaten up, Shi Erxiu was not willing to suffer in silence—the calculations in her mind were apparent to everyone present.

Zheng Youli quickly silenced her; in the village, she couldn’t make a scene like she might outside.

They all shared the same ancestors, and he couldn’t let his silly women offend others, especially since selling the house was planned, depending on the Jun Family, who were among the better-off in the village.

"It’s alright, we can’t blame you; you meant well..."

Once Zheng Youli spoke, Shi Erxiu dared not continue with her petty schemes.

The next day, the fiasco involving the Zheng Family quickly spread throughout the village.

Since coming back home, Zheng Zhanpeng had been hiding in his room, afraid to go out, fearing questions about his city life from others.

Reluctantly, the Zheng Family had to sell their house to the next-door Jun Family, and they moved back into their dilapidated old house.

Along with this, various rumors and speculations about Zheng Zhanpeng started circulating in the village.

This made Zheng Zhanpeng even more unwilling to go out, as he dreaded encountering the villagers’ curious stares.
