Chapter 68 Old Zheng is overjoyed to have a baby
Yang Er stood with his hands on his hips, blocking the doorway and preventing Old Zheng and his wife from entering the house, but he could still clearly see everything Lin Wanying was doing inside.
Lin Wanying carefully moved the table in the outer room, pulled it a couple of times on the ground, revealing a blue stone slab. She then forcefully lifted the slab, and dug out a treasure wrapped in yellow silk.
"Hiss! Old man, so that bastard hid the treasure under the table. No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long."
“I didn’t expect this either, but we can’t let her take this treasure away. With this treasure, there will be hope for the third brother’s wife. Didn’t he say a while ago that there was a nice girl in the forest farm, but she’s asking for a dowry of twenty yuan?”
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, and Old Zheng's eyes darted around, staring at the package in Lin Wanying's hands.
"Village Chief Zheng, you must stand up for us! Ever since Lin Wanying married into our family, we've never treated her badly. But we never expected her to treat us like this, and even try to take Er Gou's precious child away..."
“Village Chief Zheng, that treasure belongs to our family, not this woman at all. You must help us get it back. We entrusted it to Er Gou for safekeeping so we could marry her, but now she doesn’t care whether we live or die…”
“My poor son was cursed to death by this woman at such a young age, and now she wants to take our precious child away. We can’t live like this…”
The elderly couple whispered something to each other, then rushed to Zheng Laoshuan's side, crying and wailing, and started shouting loudly.
Lin Wanying quickly packed her things.
"No, you can't leave. If you're going to leave, you have to leave your things behind. This treasure belongs to our family."
Seeing Lin Wanying come out of the house with a package, the elderly couple didn't care about anything else and scrambled to the front door.
Su Chen walked up to the old couple with a cold smile and took the yellow silk package from Lin Wanying's hand.
"It's your treasure. Now, let me ask you what's inside. If you can tell me, then this treasure is yours. If you can't..."
"It's...it's an antique!"
"It's... porcelain! Right, I remember it's an old porcelain plate from my ancestors."
Looking at the shape of the package, Old Zheng called out somewhat guiltily.
"No! No, I remember it was a gold medal, a pardon from death bestowed by the emperor upon his ministers."
Su Chen didn't speak, but just looked at the two of them meaningfully. The more he did that, the more guilty the two of them felt.
"Ahem! Let me say a few words. Comrade, the Zheng family spent a lot of money to marry your sister, and they've never mistreated her in the past two years. Although Er Gou was unlucky enough to die unexpectedly, people are all human. Are you just going to watch the Zheng family lose both their money and their wealth? I think we should have Comrade Lin hand over the treasure to the Zheng family, and then you can leave. After that, your sister will have nothing to do with the Zheng family anymore..."
Heh! That old man's schemes are so cunning you can hear them from two miles away. I don't know how you became the village chief, but this is exactly what Su Chen was planning.
“Hey Village Chief Zheng, I didn’t see whether they mistreated my sister or not, but I know they kicked her out of her house in the middle of the night. Oh, and what’s that Zheng Dagen guy? Is he your son? Tell him to come over and apologize to my sister, or we’ll go to your house to find him later.”
"Yes, make Zheng Dagen come over here and kowtow to apologize. Our family can't stand this humiliation, or we'll go and smash up Zheng Dagen's house."
"You dare? My Dagen is an honest man. He was seduced by you, you vixen. My Dagen is even afraid that you, you white tiger spirit, will kill him."
Zheng Dagen's wife, who was standing in the crowd, heard Yang Erwai and others shouting that they were going to smash her house. She rushed out of the crowd, pointed at Lin Wanying, and started cursing loudly.
"Hey guys, can we just stand by and watch our girl get bullied?"
"cannot……"
"Brothers of Zhengjiagouzi Village, can you stand by and watch our villagers be bullied by outsiders?"
"No way! Grab your weapons and fight them!"
Seeing Yang Erwai and his gang rushing menacingly toward Zheng Dagen's wife, many young people who had been watching the commotion couldn't resist any longer and roared as they rushed into the yard.
For a moment, the two groups faced each other, staring at each other with a stern look of disapproval, and there was a strong indication that they might start fighting at the slightest provocation.
"Don't be impulsive, Comrade Lin, you should quickly persuade your family. If a fight breaks out, it won't be good no matter who gets hurt..."
Looking at the group of impulsive young people, Zheng Laoshuan's heart was in his throat. If they really got into trouble, it would be hard to handle. If the police were alerted, his son's situation would be difficult to resolve.
Especially those people in the Revolutionary Committee, they don't care who seduced whom, as long as you went there, it's considered adultery and you'll be paraded through the streets. Thinking of this consequence, Zheng Laoshuan couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly came to the middle of the crowd.
At this moment, Yang Erwai and his companions' hearts were pounding. There were only five or six of them on their side, while there were more than ten on the other side. If a real fight broke out, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
“Village Chief Zheng, I think what you said makes sense. We came here to resolve the conflict, not to create it. Have your son apologize to my sister and give her a letter of introduction. After what happened, my sister definitely can't live in this village anymore. As for this treasure…”
“This treasure of my younger brother was left to me by my mother. I can’t give it to anyone else. Besides, this treasure is not a piece of porcelain or a gold medal. It’s just a bronze mirror, a bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty.”
"A bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty must be worth a lot of money."
"That's definitely valuable. I heard that someone sold a bronze incense burner in the county a while ago for several tens of yuan! That incense burner was from the Qing Dynasty, so this one from the Tang Dynasty is definitely more valuable."
The whispers among the people only strengthened Old Zheng's resolve to keep the treasure.
Seeing that the two sides were arguing back and forth, Su Chen finally let out a helpless sigh.
He walked up to Lin Wanying, whispered a few words in her ear, and finally Lin Wanying nodded with tears in her eyes. She took a deep look at the silk bundle, covered her face and ran away crying.
“I’ve already spoken to Village Chief Zheng on my sister’s behalf, but if they want to keep the bronze mirror, they must sign a guarantee that the Zheng family and my sister will have no further connection…”
Soon, under Zheng Laoshuan's supervision, all the certificates were written, and both parties put their fingerprints on them.
After carefully collecting the village's letter of introduction, certificate, and the guarantee from Old Zheng's family, Su Chen reluctantly handed the silk package to Old Zheng.
"Brother Laoshuan, this is my family's treasure, you..."
Seeing that Old Zheng was holding the package and not giving it to him, Old Zheng was very anxious. He pointed to the package and whispered something.
"Ah... I was thinking about something and got distracted. Brother, I've never seen a Tang Dynasty bronze mirror before. Could you show us?"
The thought that this treasure would ultimately not be his own left Zheng Laoshuan with a bitter taste in his mouth. However, with so many eyes watching him, he certainly couldn't refuse to give it to Old Zheng.
"This... Brother Laoshuan, there are too many people here. Why don't we go inside and take a look?"
Looking around, he saw that everyone was craning their necks and staring at the package in his hands, so Old Zheng hugged it tightly.
"Uncle Zheng, please show us what you've got!"
"That's right! That's right! We just spoke up for you."
Seeing everyone's unanimous request to see the treasure, Old Zheng finally had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
The silk was wrapped very tightly, layer upon layer, and all of them were tied with knots. It took Old Zheng quite a while, and he was sweating profusely, before he was able to untie three or four layers.
"Uncle Zheng, let me help you solve this!"
Lin Dagen, who had already apologized to Lin Wanying, squeezed forward and reached out to help Old Zheng.
"What are you doing? What's going on?!"
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from the doorway, and a dozen or so young people wearing red armbands rushed in.
Upon seeing these red armbands, Old Zheng's head nearly spun and he almost fainted.
Young people are the ones who stay calm. Zheng Dagen hurriedly picked up the treasure from the table and threw it on the ground. Then he pulled Old Zheng to step on it and stood there motionless.
