Chapter 336 I am your father
Fifteen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This caused an uproar, and everyone burst into laughter. Li Wei was furious. He turned around to look at the culprit and immediately saw Chen Xuanyu. He stared at him, motionless, and saw the obvious hatred in the little child's eyes. Gradually, disgust rose in his eyes. Sure enough, this slut could only give birth to a bastard like her. She was so young and already had no manners. She couldn't even call him "father."
"Aren't you going to come and call me?? I'm your father! You're a son of a bitch, born of a mother but raised without a father, you have no manners at all!" Li Wei cursed.
Chen Xuanyu looked at him with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, devoid of any other emotion except for utter disgust. He moved his hand, but before he could do anything, the three children beside him erupted in fury.
"You bad guy, who are you calling names!" Without saying a word, Fifteen threw a stone at him, hitting him squarely in the shin.
Xiao Hao wasn't idle either; he threw a pebble and knocked the hat off.
Chengcheng was exceptionally gifted and learned light-footed skills quickly. With a boost from the spot, he leaped over and slapped him twice with lightning speed. Then, using the momentum, he stepped on the servant next to him and hopped back.
"Waaah! You guys!" Li Wei was stunned, he had actually been hit by a child, and a wave of shame washed over him. "This is so bullying~ So embarrassing!" He felt frustrated and angry, "You! You guys!"
His hand trembled as he pointed to a group of people who were all mocking him, and tears streamed down his face.
"Haha! He cried, you made him cry!" Fifteen kills by destroying his spirit, "Chengcheng, you're amazing."
Chen Xuanyu relaxed his tightly clenched hands only after seeing the disgraceful scene unfolding across from him.
"Oh my, it really is! He got beaten up by a kid and cried!" Brother Nie leaned closer and saw the tears on his face, then let out a thunderous sneer.
The onlookers couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Such a big man, getting beaten up by a child and crying, how embarrassing!" Aunt Hu covered her mouth and laughed.
"You're bullying me too much!" Li Wei, like a freshly cooked beggar's chicken, had two streaks of mud on his face from tears. He wiped it away with his sleeve and muttered, "You just wait, just you wait!"
“Brother Xiong, I don’t want to see him…” Chen Xuanyu looked at Xiong with wide, almond-shaped eyes.
Big Bear sensed sadness within them for some reason, and nodded heavily. "Don't worry!" he said, then picked up a stone from the ground and waved it at them, shouting, "Get out! Get out! Go back to where you came from!"
Brother Nie also saw the expression on Chen Xuanyu's face, and pulled out his knife to threaten him, "You'd better leave quickly, or you'll get yelled at!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here! What are you, trying to claim kinship with us!" Chahua and the others also helped to drive them away.
The three young men and women ate a huge melon and laughed uncontrollably.
Li Wei, accompanied by several servants, left in a disheveled state. As he passed the three men, seeing their unbridled mockery, he couldn't help but spit viciously, "What are you laughing at? Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death! You lowly commoners!"
The three of them immediately fell silent and said nothing more.
After everyone left, Brother Nie told everyone to go about their business. He looked at Chen Xuanyu, took his little hand, and walked to the edge of the field, saying, "Brother Xuanyu, come here, tell your uncle, is that person your father?"
Chen Xuanyu looked at him innocently with his big eyes, completely devoid of the gloom he felt when he saw that man earlier, and laughed, "Of course not! How could someone as cute as me have such an ugly father?"
Brother Nie smiled thoughtfully, "That's good, go have fun."
"Alright!" Chen Xuanyu ran and skipped away, pretending to be relaxed.
As soon as they were out of sight, Chen Xuanyu's face fell; he was so annoyed.
Brother Nie looked at the child and felt a pang of heartache. Having such a father at such a young age was bound to cause endless trouble. Moreover, the man didn't seem to be letting the matter rest and would likely cause more trouble in the future. It was truly a headache.
In the afternoon, Wang Erniu rushed back. Chen Wenfang had just woken up, and Aunt Liu and Sister-in-law Nie were gossiping with her about the man from earlier.
"Let me tell you, it's absolutely hilarious! Such a fat man, looking just like an old sow in a pigsty, and he insists he's your husband, haha!" Sister-in-law Nie laughed.
"Exactly, he was swearing and got slapped twice by Brother Cheng."
"He hit him so well, I wanted to hit him too," Sister-in-law Nie agreed.
As Chen Wenfang listened to their conversation, she said with some worry, "Actually, is there any possibility that he might very well be my ex-husband?"
Aunt Liu exclaimed in surprise, "That can't be! He's so ugly. Xuan-ge'er doesn't look like him at all. It shouldn't be like that."
Sister-in-law Nie was equally shocked. "No way, no matter what, you wouldn't have married someone like this, would you?"
"I don't know, I don't remember. When I first came here, I injured my brain," Chen Wenfang said honestly.
"This!" The two women were also in a dilemma. If that man really was her husband, this matter would be difficult to handle.
"Wife!" Wang Erniu entered the room, looking travel-worn.
"Husband? Why are you back?" Chen Wenfang asked in surprise.
Upon seeing him return, Aunt Liu and her companion tactfully left the room.
Wang Erniu sat on the edge of the bed and embraced Chen Wenfang. Chen Wenfang buried her head in his chest, smelling his scent.
"Are you OK?"
"It's nothing! What could possibly be wrong with me?" Chen Wenfang asked in surprise.
“I’ve looked into your ex-husband. Aren’t you afraid of him?” Wang Erniu said in a low, muffled voice.
"You even found this out? I don't even remember this person. Of course I'm not afraid of him; the one who should be afraid of him is the owner of this body from before. It's just a pity for that mother and daughter," Chen Wenfang sighed.
"It's truly pitiful." Wang Erniu didn't want to tell her, afraid of upsetting her, and also because he felt sorry for her. The original owner of this body had suffered an extraordinary fate. Her health was ruined by the mistress's mistreatment during childbirth. She barely survived, but the mother and child were abused and starved every day. To survive, Chen Wenfang helped empty the chamber pot every day. A passing peddler saw how pitifully hungry the child was and gave him a pancake. However, the mistress saw this and accused her of adultery, claiming the child belonged to the peddler and wanting to sell him off.
Chen Wenfang pleaded several times to no avail. For the sake of her child, she had no choice but to sell her personal dowry jewelry. That night, she bought wine for her mother-in-law and ran away with her child while the woman was drunk.
The brokers came the next day, only to find that the two had run away. The Li family, having taken the money, naturally denied not giving it to the people. The matter caused quite a stir everywhere. Xiushui Town was only a hundred miles away from Lijia Town, and no one expected that she was actually in Lijia Town.
Thinking about this, Wang Erniu felt a pang of heartache and hugged her, patting her back to comfort her.
