Chapter 214: Poor Zeng Yaozu

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Lingye continued, “When I went to pick up Sister Xinxin last night, he and a few other people were surrounding her and teasing her.”

Everyone, “…” Then, they turned to Zeng Yaozu. This was another interesting development. This morning was really exciting. They regretted not bringing any popcorn.

Granted, they were right in front of a supermarket, but they didn’t dare to buy from them. Their former employee just said that they sell expired products!

Zeng Yaozu wanted to die when he heard Xiao Lingye’s accusation.

Just as he was about to explain, Grandpa Zeng immediately stomped towards Zeng Yaozu. He pinched Zeng Yaozu’s ear and shouted angrily, “You little brat, what are you doing? It’s one thing for you to go racing, but to think you have the audacity to tease a girl!” Grandpa Zeng kicked Zeng Yaozu’s butt, and he didn’t let go of his ear.

Zeng Yaozu was in so much pain that his expression became very ferocious and twisted. He kept shouting, “Grandpa, it hurts, it hurts…”

However, Grandpa Zeng ignored his pain and continued to scold him, “Brat, so you know how to feel pain? Have you forgotten what I’ve taught you? Did I teach you to tease a girl? Aren’t you afraid of scaring her?” He raised his leg and kicked at Zeng Yaozu’s calf.

Zeng Yaozu felt pain in his ear and calf. Cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead. Zeng Yaozu endured the pain and tried to explain, “Grandpa, it’s a misunderstanding!”

The crowd couldn’t help but pity Zeng Yaozu. The old man was harsh to his family too. Even Xiao Xinxin felt sorry for Zeng Yaozu.

She bit her lip and walked over to Grandpa Zeng, saying, “Grandpa… He seems to be in a lot of pain. Why don’t you let him go?”

Grandpa Zeng waved his hand. “Don’t worry, little girl. He has thick skin. I’ve taught him like this since he was a baby.”

Everyone shed a tear of sympathy for Zeng Yaozu. It was not easy to be the old man’s grandson.

Xiao Xinxin did not know what to say and how to persuade him. She stood there with a red face. She felt guilty because she was the reason why Grandpa Zeng was punishing Zeng Yaozu.

Grandpa Zeng took a look at Xiao Xinxin and sighed in his heart. Then, he let go of Zeng Yaozu’s pinched ear, but he still scolded him sternly, “Look at the girl. She is so kind. When she saw your grandfather beat you, she came to plead for you! Hurry up and apologize to the little girl. Otherwise, the lesson will continue!”

“Grandpa, I’ll apologize now!” Zeng Yaozu touched his red ear and said immediately.

Then he said sincerely, “Miss, I’m sorry for scaring you last night. I apologize for my friends and me!”

Xiao Xinxin’s face turned red. She breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, “It… It’s okay!”

Zeng Yaozu also secretly let out a sigh of relief. He touched his ears, bent down, and rubbed his calf that was kicked by his grandfather. He tried to explain himself, “But Miss, you really need to listen to my explanation. We didn’t mean to scare you yesterday night. We had our reasons…”

“Brat, you’re telling me you have a reason to scare a girl?” Grandpa Zeng’s voice suddenly sounded again.

Zeng Yaozu was so scared that he shivered and quickly explained to Xiao Xinxin, “We were indeed racing yesterday. We saw you hiding in the corner. We decided to bring you to the hotel…”

“You Little Brat!” Grandpa Zeng immediately shouted when he heard that his grandson was going to bring the girl to the hotel.

“Grandpa, it’s a misunderstanding!” Zeng Yaozu felt like he was making things worse. “We can’t bring her back to our home, so of course, we had to bring her to the hotel!” Then, he realized he had made it worse.

Xiao Chengbang and Auntie Zhou looked at Zeng Yaozu as if they were about to spitfire. The boy and his friends were about to drag their daughter to a hotel!

Zeng Yunbing’s face turned darker as he listened to his son’s explanation. His son was so stupid. It was hard for others not to misunderstand him. In any case, the stupid son was still his son. So, he had to help him.

Zeng Yunbing coughed and then explained for his son, “Girl, please don’t misunderstand.

“I believe my son only wanted to find you a hotel room yesterday night. After all, it was too dangerous for a girl like you to stay outside on your own. He can’t take you back to where his friends stay. The place is too smelly.

“Of course, he couldn’t bring you back to our home either. That’s unreasonable, right?”

Zeng Yaozu immediately nodded and said, “Yes, yes, that’s what I meant.”

Zeng Yunbing glared at Zeng Yaozu and thought to himself. ‘How can I have such a stupid son? He even needs his father to come to help him!’

Zeng Yunbing then said with a very amiable smile, “Little girl, my son is a bit dumb. But, he is very kind and a man with a strong sense of justice. He would never do anything bad. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding.”

Xiao Xinxin looked at the pitiful Zeng Yaozu suspiciously. Was that a misunderstanding? If it was a misunderstanding, what about the disgusting promise like he’d make her his woman?

Xiao Xinxin bit her lip and did not respond to Zeng Yunbing’s words.

Xiao Lingye’s anger was still not appeased. He questioned in a stern voice, “I clearly heard you tell Sister Xinxin that you want her to be your woman! You promised salaciously that you wouldn’t disappoint her! You told her to follow you and your friends. How is that a misunderstanding?”

Xiao Lingye didn’t hear everything, or else, he would complain even more.

Xiao Xinxin didn’t say anything. After all, the young man was Grandpa Zeng’s grandson and chief Zeng’s son. They had helped them a lot, so she really could not say anything bad about his grandson.

“What?” After Grandpa Zeng heard this, he started to get angry again.

“You Brat, is that how you should act around a girl?” Grandpa Zeng pinched his grandson’s ears again.

Zeng Yaozu’s face turned pale from the pain. He cried out in pain, “Grandpa, it hurts. I’m afraid that my ears are going to fall out!”

The crowd silently shed tears of sympathy for Zeng Yaozu.

How did the child manage to grow up with both of his ears intact?

“You know how to be afraid?” Grandpa Zeng reprimanded loudly. “When you were teasing the little girl, didn’t you think that the little girl would be afraid too?

“You and your friends surrounded the girl in the middle of the night and asked her to be your woman and wanted to drag her to a hotel! Do you think it was a funny joke? Have you thought about what the girl might feel?”

“Grandpa, I was wrong. I will never do such a stupid thing again,” Zeng Yaozu immediately begged for mercy, “At that time, we just thought that it was fun. This… is a complete misunderstanding!”

Tears flowed out because of the pain. This made the people present feel both amused and sympathetic.

Even though Chief Zeng sympathized with his son, he didn’t speak up for him. If someone asked how his son died, he’d answer he died from stupidity. It was so embarrassing.

Chief Zeng couldn’t bear to look at his son. But he felt pitiful that his father was so harsh on his son. Then again, he couldn’t intervene because he might end up in the same state as Zeng Yaozu.

‘Son, it’s not that Dad doesn’t want to save you, but I can’t!’ As Zeng Yaozu cried, Zeng Yunbing’s heart quivered. He decided he needed to do something. He thought for a moment and said to Xiao Lingye, “Young man, this might really be a misunderstanding. My Brat might look rebellious and strong, but he hasn’t even touched a girl’s hand other than his sister’s. He would blush around a beautiful girl.”

“That is true.” Grandpa Zeng said. “The brat would blush whenever he saw a pretty girl. He doesn’t even dare to talk to a girl. As a result, even though he’s 23 now, he’s still as single as ever.”

The father and grandfather were not lying.

“Ah?” Everyone present was dumbfounded. They looked at Zeng Yaozu with a strange look. The young man was dressed so uniquely, but he was a big boy who would blush when he was around a pretty girl? That was so cute.

It was hard to tell who was the first, but someone started to giggle. Then, there was a second and a third. Soon, the crowd started laughing.

Even Xiao Xinxin, Xiao Lingye, and the others also laughed out loud.

Zeng Yaozu immediately cleared his name, “So, it’s really a misunderstanding. Last night, I saw the girl alone in the corner. I was afraid, so I said those words to bolster my courage. My friends were egging me on too.” He told Xiao Xinxin seriously, “Miss Xiao, I’m sorry for scaring you last night.”

Xiao Xinxin was relieved.

She looked at the shy boy in front of her who was dressed like a bad guy. She covered her mouth and smiled. She then said, “It’s okay. I’m fine, and it’s in the past. But, can you stop scaring other girls like that in the future?”

“Of course!” Zeng Yaozu secretly sighed with relief after getting the forgiveness.

Xiao Xinxin was really happy. All the unfairness she suffered had been fixed.

The atmosphere was lively. Grandpa Zeng released his grip on Zeng Yaozu’s ear. He slapped the back of his head and warned him sternly, “Brat, if you ever make such jokes again, I’ll break your legs!”

“I won’t anymore!” Zeng Yaozu promised. He was not stupid. He wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

“Haha…” Everyone suddenly burst into laughter.

…

Lei Zhenhu and Gu Qingjiao were still fighting when more officers arrived. The officers came because more people provided them with info about bad dealings inside De Wang Supermarket. The couple stopped fighting and followed the officers.

Soon, the officers found a big bag of unopened and expired food in the warehouse. There was no concrete evidence for imprisonment, but they were still investigating.

The officers called the Food Safety Bureau over. The boss and his wife had connections there too, but compared to the director of the Labor Bureau and the police chief, their connection was nothing.

Even though Lei Zhenhu and Gu Qingjiao were not arrested, their supermarket was forced to close down.

They didn’t sign labor contracts with their employees, and they exploited their employees. The Labor Bureau launched an in-depth investigation.

When the case concluded, even though the couple wasn’t involved in serious crimes, it was true that they had illegally exploited employees, illegally deducted employees’ wages, and so on. They also violated the laws of the Food Safety Bureau. They were told to compensate all their employees double their wages. The Food Safety Bureau fined them 100,000 RMB for selling expired food on purpose.

In short, Lei Zhenhu and Gu Qingjiao had a horrible ending!
