Chen Weijun followed behind his elder brother to watch the excitement. He used to only come here to visit relatives during holidays, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a lively event.

He watched with great interest and was deeply moved.

The compound where his older brother lives is really lively.

"Big brother." Chen Weijun nudged Old Chen, who had been so engrossed in watching the commotion that he forgot to go home, and began to offer his opinion.

Old Chen didn't even turn his head. "What? Tell me!"

Chen Weijun: "I think this widow Huang is quite formidable, and what she said makes a lot of sense. Those women are so unreasonable. If they want to fight, they should go home and fight their own men. What kind of skill is it to bully a widow?"

Old Chen suddenly turned around, looked at him, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Weijun didn't notice the strange looks he was getting from Old Chen and the person standing next to him, and continued, "I think she's quite pitiful, dealing with so many people all by herself."

His tone still carried a hint of heartache.

Old Chen, having been deceived before, finally understood Widow Huang's true colors after being persuaded by Old Lady Xia.

However, he was coaxed by Widow Huang's sweet words, which was understandable, since men in this era didn't have much experience and couldn't say many nice things even to their closest relatives.

Previously, when he boldly asked Grandma Xia if she loved him, she almost mistook him for a lunatic. This shows how much of a shock it is for them if a woman praises them softly.

But it was only because Widow Huang personally coaxed him that he acted this way.

Chen Weijun doesn't even need to listen to good advice. He just listens to Widow Huang's illogical and sophistical arguments and thinks she makes sense. If he heard those words, wouldn't he be completely fooled?

Old Chen rolled his eyes, then suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Widow Huang is truly pitiful. Her husband died young, and she has to support such a large family all by herself, while also facing gossip and slander. It's really tough for her. Now, she's being falsely accused all by herself. Don't you think it's because there's no upright man in her family? If her husband hadn't died, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

Chen Weijun seemed to be deep in thought. Yes, this world is hard, and being a woman is even harder.

He thought for a moment, and after seeing Widow Huang get hit again, he finally made up his mind and shouted, "Stop!"

Everyone looked over, puzzled.

The woman in the lead stood with her hands on her hips and asked, "Who are you to her? Want to stand up for her?"

Chen Weijun shouted, "I don't know her, but what you're doing is wrong. It's not her fault."

The fighting and suspicion among the people stopped. They all stared at the man who had jumped out to seek justice for Widow Huang, wanting to hear what he had to say.

This was the first time Chen Weijun had been watched by so many people; he felt both nervous and proud. See, that's the kind of capable man he is.

"This widow Huang is still a woman, no matter how capable she is, she couldn't possibly be with so many men at the same time. So, she's right, the problem lies with your own men. In that case, why make things difficult for a woman like her? You're not afraid to lay a hand on your own men because of what she said, so you're picking on the weak, aren't you?"

The widow, Huang, who had just been beaten and pinned to the ground, had tears in her eyes. She had truly found a kindred spirit. Although she didn't know this man, he actually understood her.

Widow Huang sat on the ground, crying pitifully, and repeatedly thanked Chen Weijun.

Chen Weijun blushed and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he was just speaking out of righteousness.

Then, he squatted down and began to say things like, "It's not easy for Widow Huang to raise two children alone. How can the family manage without a man?" These words made Widow Huang truly believe that someone cared about her.

Just as Widow Huang was about to confide in Chen Weijun, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "How about I introduce you to a man?"

Widow Huang was stunned, but immediately refused.

She's been a widow for many years, and it's not like no one has tried to introduce her to men, but she's refused them all. One reason is that she's afraid her two children will suffer. The men introduced to her are all married men with children, and people's hearts are always biased; she doesn't want to gamble. Another reason is that the men they introduce to her don't earn much money, nothing compared to the financial assistance she can get by befriending several men and playing the victim.

Therefore, Widow Huang was a very clear-headed woman. She didn't want to serve men, didn't want to work from dawn till dusk, and didn't want to sell herself. She just wanted to get something for nothing.

Just now, she was verbally abused and beaten by several women. There was nothing she could do about it; there are always risks involved in swindling money from other women's men. However, they didn't dare report it to the police because they knew their men had given her the money willingly, not that she had stolen, robbed, or cheated them. They even knew that if she was injured, she could turn around and report them to the police.

No matter how you look at it, it's a worthwhile deal.

She was wronged, but not really wronged; it just damaged her reputation. This might affect her child's future job prospects and chances of finding a partner.

But that doesn't matter. They still have several years. Once this storm passes, apart from the people in their compound who might vaguely remember, who else would deliberately cause them trouble?

A few years is enough time for a lot to happen, so there's really no need to worry too much.

With this in mind, Widow Huang was no longer so flustered in the face of these people.

Of course, she would be very grateful if someone stood up for her.

But the gratitude she had just felt vanished when the man tried to introduce her to another man.

Chen Weijun ignored Widow Huang's expression and continued talking animatedly.

He wanted to introduce Widow Huang to an old bachelor from his neighborhood. Because his family was poor and he was ugly, he could barely make ends meet, so no girl had ever been interested in him when he was young.

He has high standards and is unwilling to marry a country girl. Even at his age, he still declares that he'd rather have a widow from the city than a rural woman, and she has to be good-looking. Although he's ugly, he's dreaming big.

But which woman in the city would be willing to marry a man like that? Even though he offered to pay a five-dollar matchmaker fee, very few women were willing to act as matchmakers for him.

Just now, after listening to his older brother's words, Chen Weijun suddenly remembered something. He, Chen Weijun, has never been a man who likes to help others, but if it's for five yuan, then he is very willing to help.

Old Chen's words, spoken by accident, gave Chen Weijun the idea to make money.

Chen Weijun sized up Widow Huang for a while and realized that she might just be the destined one for that old bachelor. Not only did she meet all the conditions, but she was also a widow in distress. Such a person was the easiest to persuade.

He is full of confidence.

Chen Weijun is still the same money-grubbing person.
