Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

—The next day

Upon hearing the news of the "big event," Chen Bingwen immediately began rushing home.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"Something happened!"

Xu Xiaomo had just finished tidying up the room that Chen Xuyan and Chen Weizhen were going to stay in. The room had been quite messy since the two kids had been living there.

It was mainly Chen Bingwen.

"What happened again?" This child, though he looks like he's playing, is actually the quickest to know about all the big and small things happening in the village.

I don't know how I know so much.

Even Chen Runming was curious this time. "What's the big deal? Tell me in detail."

Chen Bingwen, who had run all the way back, was so exhausted that he could hardly breathe. It took him a while to catch his breath before he could speak, “It’s…it’s about the Wen family.”

This really piqued the family's interest.

Xu Xiaomo asked, "Did the men in their family get into a fight? That makes sense. They're asking us to pay them so much money in one go, how can we not be angry?"

Her face was beaming with schadenfreude.

Chen Xuyan naturally knew what had happened. No wonder they were family; even a five-year-old child had become a murderer.

Zhou Xiaojuan is dead, and the Zhou family will definitely not let it go. Yesterday, Zhou Xiaojuan's brother went to the Wen family to deliver eggs to Zhou Xiaojuan as usual. He is a brother who cares about his sister.

Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon the scene of Qian Hongxia dragging Zhou Xiaojuan's corpse, intending to 'destroy the evidence'.

This is all thanks to that guy who went to Stone Village and sold candied hawthorns in the Zhou family area. Otherwise, how would Zhou Xiaojuan's brother have known that his sister was being ostracized by her two sisters-in-law at the Wen family this morning?

I made a point of arriving two hours early to deliver eggs to Wenjia Village.

Otherwise, Qian Hongxia's child might have actually succeeded. Liu Ping and the Wen family would have pretended nothing had happened, and might even have blamed the Zhou family, saying that Zhou Xiaojuan stole the Wen family's money and ran away while the men in the house were away.

Chen Bingwen shook his head. "No, it's something else. Their family killed someone again!"

The news has spread to them; almost half the people in Chenjia Village know about it now, and by dinner time, everyone will probably know.

Chen Runming's eyes widened in shock. "Such a big thing? Tell me what happened quickly."

Chen Bingwen raised his head and, amidst the urging of the crowd, gave a brief explanation.

As he listened to him, Xu Xiaomo would occasionally ask questions, and everyone in the courtyard listened with great interest.

Even Chen Weizhen nodded in agreement, though it seemed to be a vague nod.

"What are you nodding for? Do you even understand what I'm saying?" Chen Xuyan found it somewhat amusing.

The little girl punched him lightly, but not hard.

She's much more lively now, although she's still skin and bones. Chen Xuyan is determined to fatten her up properly.

"No wonder Zhao Sheng is so selfish. If his five-year-old child can kill an adult, what else is he incapable of?" Xu Xiaomo shook her head. Fortunately, they had completely severed ties with the Wen family.

If it had been another day later, they might have been the ones in trouble.

The Wen family is capable of anything.

Think about what their family has done.

Chen Runming also felt a bit horrified, "If the knife had just been stabbed in, there might have been a chance to save the child, but I didn't expect the child's mother to actually stab him again. She was deliberately trying to kill him to silence him!"

This is already an extremely serious matter; Qian Hongxia is most likely going to be shot.

Over the years, everyone has lived a peaceful life. Even if there are frictions, they are not like this. At most, there are fights. How could it be like the Wen family, who either pull people to block deadly attacks or help their children kill people?

Not only will people in the surrounding area know about it, but the entire county will be in an uproar.

What a heartless and insane family!

"This Wenjia Village probably has bad feng shui. Their ancestors must have committed some sins. When Bingzhong goes to junior high school in town, he must not associate with anyone with the surname Wen!" Xu Xiaomo warned.

Chen Bingzhong nodded, "Don't worry, Mother, I won't associate with them!"

Xu Xiaomo touched his face, "It's all thanks to the good deeds of our ancestors that we were able to get rid of this family!"

She then put her hands together and said, "Tomorrow I need to go to Uncle Chen's house to buy some paper to worship our ancestors."

"Okay, I'll handle this. I'll explain everything to our ancestors." Chen Runming felt incredibly fortunate.

"Tell me, what kind of mess is this? The Wen family has really committed a terrible sin!"

Chen Xuyan said calmly, "It was bound to happen sooner or later."

The karma within a family is intertwined; if one survives, someone else will inevitably suffer the consequences.

This week, Xiaojuan isn't a good person either. In her previous life, after Wenxianggu broke ties with the Wen family, she was the one with the best relationship with her, but she didn't get any benefits from Wenxianggu.

He didn't do anything good after he got rich. He opened a huge karaoke bar and led many beautiful girls who were still in school astray. But she was happy all her life. Her children were all successful, and Wen Zhaosheng always listened to her.

He never suffered any retribution before his death and lived a comfortable life.

"We'll have to leave early and come back early these next few days. Who knows if they're so malicious as to plot against us?" Xu Xiaomo said worriedly.

This person, driven mad by violence, is capable of anything; he might even be thinking about the money they have to pay in compensation.

Chen Xuyan initially wanted to say it was alright, but after hesitating for a while, he decided not to say anything.

Being cautious is a good thing; better safe than sorry.

With him around, the Wen family can't harm them.

Chen Runming also sighed, "We're clearly in the right, but now we have to be so careful. It's really frustrating."

"From now on, I'll go out early and come back early, and I'll go with Gangzi."

He wanted to learn electrical work. Chen Xuyan said that many people in the city are buying houses now and they all have electricity. He could make money by learning this skill.

You have to put in a lot of hard work at the beginning. The masters who teach these skills are all bad-tempered. Nowadays, anyone with a proper skill is afraid that their apprentice will actually learn it.

He was tempted by the prospect of making money, and didn't care about how hard or difficult it was.

"Okay." Chen Xuyan pretended to be relieved.

“You guys should go to school together, don’t be alone, especially Bingwen. If you go out and run wild like before, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Xu Xiaomo glared at Chen Bingwen.

"I've spent so much money on your education, not so you can go play around. Your grades can't fall behind; you need to learn from your brother!"

Chen Bingwen lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I understand, Mother."

He was initially quite happy about going to school, but after hearing what Xu Xiaomo said, he instantly became dejected.

We can't go out to play.

His brother at home doesn't play with him.

Chen Xuyan did not stop him. Chen Bingwen was playful and easily distracted. It was not a good thing for him to play with those children who couldn't go to school for a long time.

Over time, this can lead to a dislike of studying, so it's definitely important to cultivate good study habits.

He also loves gossip, which isn't a good thing.
