I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 39: Discussing to the End
Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Discussing to the End
In this room, apart from Suizi, no one thought Yu Jingting was innocent.
The villagers felt that even if he didn’t do this particular deed, his past "glorious records" were enough to peg him as the most notorious rogue in Wang Family Alley, a reputation that didn’t waver for decades.
Yu Jingting fixed his shiny eyes on the crowd one by one.
These guys made his wife cry, and he remembered every single one of them. Tomorrow, he’d go after them with his slingshot, aiming for their windows.
Boss Yang squatted painfully at the door, clutching his head, muttering to himself.
"It’s over, it’s over, my kang is going to collapse."
"Yang, what are you doing here? Where did they stop performing The Bund?" the village chief sauntered over, also coming to watch TV.
At the mention of The Bund, Boss Yang’s lips quivered, his nose soured, and he almost burst into tears.
"Screw The Bund!"
Boss Yang did not dare to provoke the alley rogue, so he vented his anger on the TV show instead.
He hated himself. Why did he buy a TV in the first place?
Now he had attracted the whole village to create a ruckus in his house. With a throng of people standing on his kang to watch the commotion, his kang was about to collapse!
"What happened?" asked the village chief.
"They’re fighting inside!"
The village chief scowled, someone was fighting, which as village chief, he could not ignore.
"Let me see, who is so audacious..." The village chief charged into the room in a fury. As a die-hard fan of Feng Chengcheng, the female lead of The Bund, he wouldn’t let anyone disrupt his TV time, or his viewing of Feng Chengcheng!
"It’s the Yu family alley rogue who started it, he kicked Li Youcai as soon as he came in —— hey, where are you going?"
The Yu family alley rogue.
The righteous village chief of a moment ago, suddenly clutched his stomach in the next second and turned to go home.
"I’ve got a bad stomach."
Feng Chengcheng was attractive, but the village chief didn’t want to meddle with the Yu family’s affairs.
Let them fight, after the fight, he would come tomorrow to catch the reruns. Chengcheng, wait for me tomorrow...
Someone sharp-eyed in the house noticed the village chief.
"Great man, come and uphold justice!"
"Suizi is also here, she’s been crying with anger, come check it out!"
Hearing that Suizi was also there, the village chief felt reassured.
Suizi was an educated child, sensible, she always gave more gifts than others, ahem, in short, with Suizi there, things wouldn’t get too out of hand.
The village chief miscalculated this time.
Yu Jingting felt satisfied after fighting and cursing, but Suizi was not ready to back down.
Seeing the village chief come in, Suizi immediately voiced her concerns.
"Great man! Someone is slandering my man, alleging that he’s responsible for the events in Yuanjia Village."
"Absurd! Could anybody from our village have the gall to cause trouble in the neighbouring village?"
"My man was at home yesterday, plenty of folks saw him, it’s slander!"
"Absolute slander!" The village chief was indignant.
Whether Yu Jingting did it or not was not the point, their village absolutely could not bear such a villain. If word got out, wouldn’t it break the relationships between the villages?
"If we all know that it wasn’t your man’s doing, then let’s drop it. The TV show is almost over." Someone on the kang muttered.
That’s what the village chief thought, clear up the misunderstanding and then watch TV.
Suizi, however, pulled the plug on the TV. No one was going to watch until this issue was straightened out.
The crowd is outraged because they couldn’t watch TV. Yu Jingting’s reputation wasn’t even worth a 15-inch black-and-white TV in their eyes.
Suizi’s tears gushed even more vehemently. Unlike most people who would shrink when crying, she did the opposite.
As the tears flowed, she stood her ground.
"Everyone in this room knows my husband is being wronged. Does the outside world know? If we don’t get an explanation for this, if any of you want to watch TV in the future, I will have my husband come to remove the antenna, and no one will be able to watch."
Yu Jingting was delighted, this was a task he liked, a task at which he excelled.
A collective gasp escaped from the gathered villagers, even the village chief couldn’t keep his composure.
We can’t do without TV; this matter needs to be taken seriously.
"Suizi, what kind of resolution do you want? Speak up, the chief will certainly administer justice impartially." For Feng Chengcheng, no, for the sake of justice, the village chief spoke.
"I want to find the person who first started the rumour and make him come and apologize to my husband in person. Not only that, but he also has to announce it over the village loudspeaker for three straight days: Yu Jingting, I was wrong."
"This——" the village chief was at a loss for words.
"I am out of firewood at home. It would be just right to cut down the antenna pole and take it back." Yu Jingting joyfully gestured to the outside.
In order to watch TV now, there had to be a particularly high antenna outside the house to receive the program. On windy days, while people in the house watched TV, someone outside had to manually adjust the pole to keep the signal stable.
Boss Yang leapt over and passionately implored the village chief:
"Great man, we must bring fair justice to Yu’s big brother. Look at how anxious his wife is!"
We can’t just take down the antenna pole at his place!
"In Water Margin, there’s monk Lu Zhishen uprooting willow trees, in our village, we should have a Yu Jingting plucking antenna poles!" Suizi was resolute and her words even rhymed.
The village chief had no choice but to ask loudly.
"Who started the rumour about Tiegen?"
The people in the house looked at each other, but no one wanted to speak
"If no one speaks, you’re all accomplices. Jingting, take down the antenna pole!" Suizi was relentless.
Yu Jingting grinned, his small canines shining under the light bulb. As he moved towards the outside, he started singing.
"Holding a kitchen knife, I’ll chop the electric pole, sparks and lightning along the way~"
One more line he whispered to himself, Wang Family Alley has thousands of lovely wives, but his wife is the most beautiful. When she’s on a roll, she’s electrifying, it makes him almost want to drag Suizi along to cut the cable~
"It was Li Youcai!!!" To protect his own antenna pole, Boss Yang stepped forward.
Although the others didn’t know who started the rumour, someone had to become the sacrificial lamb now. Settle it quickly and they might still catch the ending song of the show.
So, the crowd joined in, It was Li Youcai!
Why did he always provoke Yu Jingting, this ruffian? If not for Li Youcai stirring things up, would they have wasted a precious episode of their beloved show?
The unconscious Li Youcai, who Suizi knocked out, unknowingly became the outlet for everyone’s vented anger.
"It was him, he came today and took Yu Jingting’s spot."
"Not only did he occupy the spot, he was looking for trouble."
"Only he was saying it, not us!"
Li Youcai wanted to be a hero, but it turned out the opposite way. No one dared to offend Yu Jingting, so they pushed him out as a scapegoat.
"Suizi, I’ll make him come apologize to you tomorrow!"
"What if he doesn’t show?" Suizi pressed the village chief for his assurance. If she let him off so easily, the whole effort would be wasted if Li Youcai denied it tomorrow.
"Then he won’t be paid! He’s the team accountant and I’m in charge of him!" For the sake of watching Feng Chengcheng, the village chief carried out justice impartially.
Only then was Suizi satisfied.
If you say you are going to bring justice to Yu Jingting, you must follow it through.
Even a single day delay wasn’t acceptable. Late justice was not justice.
Suizi, with reddened eyes, spoke with a crying voice, delicate and fragile-looking, yet more persistent than ordinary people.
Standing there, she gave off a mountain-like pressure that no one dared to overlook.
Watching Suizi’s profile, Yu Jingting’s mouth dried up.
The little woman was tempting him again...oh, plant!
