105: Rumors Broken



After Wang Cheng’s household and Huang Fulai turned their faces, both sides held their own arguments, but everyone had only heard about the medicinal plant merchant involved. They had never seen their true colors and had only heard of it. The son of the aunt who was spreading the rumors, the aunt that told Mama Wang about it, was the turning point.

The aunt’s son was Guan Li. He worked in a pharmacy. Guan Li was a cheerful young man, and many in the village knew him. After the rumors spread, Guan Li came back over the weekend to hear his mother tell him about the medicinal plant business.

After all, the protagonist of the incident was a villager of the same village, and the relationship between the other party and his mother was also very good, so he subconsciously paid attention, and then heard amazing news yesterday.

The medicinal plant dealer who wanted to pit Wang Cheng’s family was investigated, and had been broadcast on the TV news. The news reported that the merchant sold certain herbs that were not allowed in the country, and sold expired herbs to customers, such as some medicinal plants that had been stored for too long a time. After they molded, they still made it into medicine and sold them to customers. As a result, some customers' health deteriorated after taking it.

Immediately after the news spread, it attracted great attention from society. The relevant departments also started investigating the matter. All pharmacies under the merchant's name would no longer be allowed to sell to customers until they passed a qualified inspection.

In this battle, even young men who had not seen the world knew that things were serious. Even if, in the end, the merchant did not have to go to jail, the business of the pharmacy would still be affected.

After the news spread, the rumors broke.

If there was no problem with the businessman, then why should the government investigate him? Why would they make a move towards his medicine? How could they let his character go?

The people who originally supported Huang Fulai became angry and shameless. After knowing that they were deceived, they went to his door in groups, spreading the word. Some of the villagers had bought cheap medicine from the city because they were familiar with Huang Fulai. At the time, they thought it was really cheap, thinking that Huang Fulai could never lie to them, but it turned out to be problematic medicine.

Huang Fulai was too scared to go out. His wife was from the Wang’s village. After hearing about this, she had a big fight with him. She understood the nature of the villagers, and what her husband did was really wrong. In the end, she packed up their things and took her son back to her mother's home, leaving Huang Fulai to be frightened and alone. He didn’t even dare to step out the door, and finally had to switch villages overnight, thinking of waiting for the incident to calm down before returning to pack his other things.

When Wang Cheng learned about it, he had some guesses. He called his elder brother that night and asked if it was him.

"Brother, you're too aggressive, you can solve it all at once."

Wang Ning'an didn't have to work overtime tonight, so he had time to chat with him. When he asked about it, he explained, "I already knew about this Boss Xu when I was working in Shanhai City. He is an illegal businessman and is good at drilling loopholes in the law. I originally planned to resolve this person before the transfer, and the evidence was collected. However, the transfer order was faster than I expected, and the matter was temporarily put on hold. This time I heard you talk about him, I remembered this idea thanks to him pitting you, that's why I decided to take time to solve him."

"It turned out that there is still such a reason. Fortunately, big brother, you did it. Otherwise, our parents would be annoyed by that Huang Fulai. After we revealed his true colors, he spread rumors everywhere. Now, Huang Fulai has become a street mouse. The villagers all hate him."

"You don’t have to be polite to deal with this kind of ungrateful villain." If Ning'an was not in the capital, he would never let things end like this, Huang Fulai's life would be even worse.

Wang Cheng heard the indifference in his brother's words and explained: "Brother, don't worry, after this time, Huang Fulai will never be able to live in the village."

It was better to stay on the sidelines. Although Huang Fulai had attempted to cheat their family, after all, it did not cause any consequences. There was no need to ruin his family. His wife and son were not at fault, and there was no harm done to his family.

...

After Zheng Jingen bumped into Chu Yifeng at the Wang family’s jam shop, he sent someone to investigate after returning. The investigation data came to him the next night. It was only after looking at it that he discovered Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng had such a relationship. He was not worried that Chu Yifeng would discover his purpose, he was more worried about his attempts at Wang Cheng from time to time.

"Knock knock."

Mother Zheng opened the door and walked in. Zheng Jingen immediately covered the opened information.

"Jingen, mom cooked a bowl of Three Delicacies Soup for you. You worked so hard during the day. Eat it while it is hot." Mother Zheng put San Xian Tang in front of him and looked at her only son kindly. This year she was in her fifties, but she looked like she was in her forties. Although her skin was not like those young girls, she looked much younger than her peers.

[T/N: The three delicacies in this dumpling soup are everchanging, but are often shrimp, pork, and chicken.]

"Thank you, mom." Zheng Jingen held Mother Zheng's hand.

The smile on Mother Zheng’s face deepened. She cared more about this son than her younger daughter. For no reason, she no longer wanted to lose her son. Zheng Jingen knew the knot in Mother Zheng’s heart. For so many years, he attempted to unravel it, and now, finally, there was some news. Before he was sure, he didn't want it to be known by too many people.

Father Zheng found that his wife was not in the living room or their room. Hearing that his son had returned, he immediately came to look for his wife. As long as the son was at home, his wife would automatically forget her husband.

"Sure enough, here she has her son, and forgot the husband." Father Zheng complained.

Mother Zheng raised her eyebrows. "Of course, my son is the first in my heart, and the second is my daughter. You can rank third."

Zheng Jingen patted the back of Mother Zheng's hand and smiled, "Mom, Dad worked all day long, he must be tired, too. Give Dad a bowl of soup."

"Since Jingen has said so, I will show mercy and give your father a bowl." Mother Zheng looked at Father Zheng after she said it, with an expression of ‘please thank Lord Long En’.

Father Zheng couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I have a wife, Master."

Mother Zheng was satisfied and went downstairs.

After his wife left, Father Zheng narrowed his smile and looked at his son. His eyes immediately fell on the information in front of him, but he didn't move. "Jingen, I heard that you are investigating some things recently, and you know that many people are looking at the Zheng family, so be careful. "

"Dad, please rest assured, I have my own measures." Zheng Jingen had a slight hesitation after speaking, but finally did not add on.

Father Zheng didn't notice. After Mother Zheng had cooked the soup, she asked the servant to come up and tell him to go down. The couple sat and laughed in the living room. The picture was very warm. Who would have thought that such a warm and loving home almost collapsed? It took a long time to recover, but everyone in the family knew that there were still some regrets in the corners of the soul.

...

After the rumors passed, Wang Cheng and his parents returned to their original busy lives. As the jam in the warehouse ran out, Mama Wang and his auntie went to the jam shop with him these days, along with his cousin and several trusted villagers.

Time was rushing by, and the end of the month unknowingly came. The weather was even colder. Everywhere on the street, villagers wrapped themselves thickly. The Wang family’s jam shop had made a name in Chengping, and their customer base had basically been fixed. Wang Cheng later arrived, and after a few trips in the city, the supermarkets that liked the taste bought goods from him, and Wang Cheng took the opportunity to expand to several supermarkets.

But there was one more problem.

Although the customer base had stabilized, the production of jam was gradually unable to keep up. Wang Cheng was afraid that Mama Wang and his aunt were too tired, so he decided to expand the small factory and take in some people. In this case, the small factory would have to change places. Papa Wang took the initiative to find the address of a factory, and Wang Cheng also gave him this task with confidence. He had Mama Wang to help watch the shop, so he drove to the city that day.

A few days ago he received a call from Wei Dandan. At the time, the incident happened with Huang Fulai, and he later got busy. He didn't have time, so he didn't reply. When there was some time before the factory was found last night, he responded to Wei Dandan.

Wang Cheng drove the car below the company building and was about to make a phone call to Chu Yifeng. Someone knocked on his car window and he looked up to see Fang Tian who he hadn't seen in a while. He was the only one who knew his relationship with Chu Yifeng.

"What a coincidence!"

"Unfortunately, I just saw your car coming here, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you." Fang Tian straightened up. Even if he knew it for a while, he couldn't imagine how Wang Cheng could be in that kind of relationship with the boss.

Wang Cheng's car he drove was his elder brother’s. He didn't plan to go to the warehouse, so it was no wonder that he did not recognize without the truck.

"How are you doing recently?" Wang Cheng asked, walking out and closing the door.

Fang Tian knew early on that he had thick skin, and it was really difficult for him to show his embarrassed expression. Thanks to him, he had still been tangled for so long. "So-so. The company has expanded its business. I’m so busy that I’ve been like a dead dog all day, unlike you. As your own boss, you can go wherever you want."

"Don't envy me, I only have time today. Right, is the boss up there?"

"The boss now spends less and less time in the company, but your luck is good. He happened to be here today, wouldn't you know on the phone? You tell me honestly, now that you’re in front of me, are you and the boss really dating?” Fang Tian stared at him straightforwardly. He was still thinking before, maybe after talking to Wang Cheng, he would learn that that day was just his illusion, not true.

Wang Cheng suddenly turned to look in a certain direction.

Fang Tian didn't know why, and following his line of sight, he saw Li Yu coming down from her car. He looked at them facelessly at this second, and his heart stopped beating for a moment.

He was finished, shouldn't he be heard?

[T/N: Ummm… maybe read the Zheng family section again if you didn’t understand what was happening. Helped me at least, hehe]
