Chapter 536 Car Crash
Soon, Hua Jingxing's car arrived at Guoyuan Village.
"Manager Hua, Happy Chinese New Year!"
Along the way, everyone who saw Hua Jingxing's BMW stopped to greet him and wish him a Happy New Year.
Their village owes its current prosperity not only to the village Party secretary, Tai Ranzhi, but also most to Hua Jingxing. Without Hua Jingxing, their village wouldn't have so many factories, and they wouldn't be living in apartment buildings.
Hua Jingxing had to endure the cold and roll down the car window to greet everyone.
By this time, someone had already gone to Tai Ran's house to report the news. Before Hua Jingxing even arrived at Tai Ran's house, he saw a group of people coming out to greet him.
"Oh! Brother Jingxing, we've been waiting for you!"
The one speaking was Tai Ranzhi's elder brother, Tai Chunzhi, who stepped forward to shake hands with Hua Jingxing.
"Happy New Year, brother!"
Hua Jingxing had already gotten out of the car and was shaking hands with everyone to wish them a Happy New Year.
"Brother, you and Jingxing walk home, I'll drive the car over for him."
The speaker was the third brother, Tai Angzhi, whose eyes widened when he saw the BMW. He had long wanted to take it for a spin, but had never had the chance.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yan quickly led Hua Jiao and Hua Rong out of the car, fearing that this idiot might cause a fatal accident.
"Third brother, you've just learned to drive, and your skills aren't yet proficient. You can't mess around with it."
The second brother, Taiyi, spoke up, feeling that this brother was unreliable, and offered a reminder.
"Second brother, don't underestimate him. My son Angzhi is doing very well. Even the coach praised him."
At that moment, a woman spoke in a shrill voice.
Hua Yan took one look and saw that the woman had high cheekbones, thin lips, and slanted eyes. It was none other than Gou Lanju, the third wife of the old man who never got enough of taking advantage of others.
Haha! The surname does have a homophonic meaning, but the given name is a bit of a waste, as it has nothing to do with orchids or chrysanthemums.
Everyone else was at home helping Shengfang cook, but only the cunning and lazy Gou Lanju came out to join in the fun.
"Yes, Second Brother, the instructor praised me for driving well. It's alright, it's not a long way, I'll be there in no time."
The third brother, Tai'ang, tried his best to win it over.
During the Lunar New Year, no one wants to speak ill of him.
Hua Yan and the others got off the bus, but there were quite a few people wanting to get on. The two children from the third brother's family scurried on, acting as if they were family. Gou Lanju's sister's child also got on the bus, and soon it was full.
Hua Yan didn't have time to look at Tai Angzhi's face, otherwise she would never have let him open the door.
Tai Chunzhi, Tai Yizhi, and Tai Ranzhi escorted Hua Jingxing home, while Hua Jiao, along with her two younger sisters, chatted with Tai Ji and Tai An.
Everyone was chatting and laughing when suddenly, with a loud crash, Hua Jingxing's BMW slammed into a wall, and with a crash, the wall collapsed.
"Oh dear! What's wrong!"
Gou Lanju let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. Actually, she also wanted to ride in the car, but she wasn't as quick as a child.
Everyone looked over, and Gou Lanju ran over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Haha! Actually, we didn't drive that far.
Everyone ran over without prior arrangement, including Hua Jingxing and Tai Ranzhi.
They opened the car door, took out the crying children, and then pulled out the grimacing Tai Angzhi as well.
"Waaah! Angzhi, are you alright?"
Gou Lanju, holding her son whose face was covered in blood, came closer.
"Lanju, if anything happens to me, you must take good care of our children."
As he spoke, Tai Ang's head lolled to the side, and he fainted.
"Oh my god! I can't live anymore."
Hua Jingxing, you have to compensate my family! If it weren't for your car, would my husband be dead? Would my son and daughter be injured?
"Waaah! Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, you have to stand up for me! We can't let Hua Jingxing get away with this!"
Gou Lanju cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"Third sister-in-law, what are you saying? Third brother isn't dead, he's just unconscious. What are you yelling about during the New Year!"
Tai Chun shouted sharply. He knew that his sister-in-law was the kind of person who felt cheated if she didn't get the better end of the deal, but he didn't expect her to turn around and accuse him before anything even happened.
"Yes! Third sister-in-law, our third brother is knocked unconscious. We need to get him to the hospital right away. Why are you talking about all that nonsense?"
The second brother, Taiyi, said with a serious expression. He realized that his sister-in-law was trying to extort money from him.
"Third sister-in-law, you really know how to lie through your teeth. Nothing's happened yet, and you're already blaming Jingxing. What were you thinking?"
Tai Ran was filled with anger and didn't want to give Gou Lanju any face.
"Third brother, we're family, how can you side with outsiders?"
Upon hearing that Tai Ran was going to tear off her face, Gou Lanju immediately jumped up.
"I'm speaking on behalf of outsiders? Haven't you done too many things against your conscience? Does everything have to please you?"
Tai Ran was truly angry. He had tolerated the grievances and losses his family had suffered in the past, but Hua Jingxing was a benefactor to his entire family, and he could no longer bear to be wronged like this.
"Third brother, are you even speaking human language?"
"So, are you in human resources?"
Tai Ran refused to give an inch and fought to the very end.
"Yes! Third Brother wanted to drive someone else's car, and Third Sister-in-law agreed. Before Manager Hua could even give her permission, you drove off. Now you've damaged their car, and instead of thinking about compensating them, you're expecting them to pay for it. It's truly an eye-opener."
Those watching the commotion couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up, unafraid of offending anyone.
Hua Jingxing didn't say a word. Even if Gou Lanju wanted to distort the truth, there were so many villagers watching, so he wasn't afraid.
Hua Yan looked at Gou Lanju with a calm and collected expression. She hadn't had much contact with her in her previous life, but this life had completely changed her perspective on the selfishness of human nature.
Taiji had already run back to find his mother, Shengfang. Shengfang was a reasonable person, but she was also incredibly powerful when it came to dealing with bad guys.
"Yes! Everyone's watching. It's really speechless that Third Sister-in-law is confusing right and wrong like this."
"Hehe! You guys are just finding out now. We're all from the same village, we see each other all the time, nobody cares, we just let it go. I never thought you could grow thick-skinned like that."
……
Everyone started talking at once, revealing all of Gou Lanju's past misdeeds. No one wanted to save face for her. Since she herself had no shame, why bother saving face for her?
"Shut up, all of you! Mind your own business! What's it to you?"
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Gou Lanju started to act out.
"It has nothing to do with them. Everyone just couldn't stand it anymore and was telling the truth."
Third Sister-in-law, you can't stand it anymore? When you did all those awful things, why didn't you ever think about this day coming to pass?
Sheng Fang rushed over in a panic, immediately entering battle mode. Taiji had already roughly told her what had happened, almost driving her to the point of exhaustion.
Normally, she was the younger brother's sister-in-law, and although this third sister-in-law was inhumane, she tolerated it for the sake of the bigger picture. But today, if she tolerated it any longer, this Gou Lanju would be riding on her neck and defecating and urinating on her.
"You've bullied so many people because you're unreasonable. We're all from the same village, and people don't hold it against you because of your parents and Ranzhi. Do you think you're right?"
"I don't care about anyone else today, but your third brother damaged Jingxing's car, so he has to pay for it."
Sheng Fang was in full force, displaying an air of self-sacrifice for the people.
"Oh dear! I can't live anymore. My Angzhi's life is still hanging in the balance, and this family is already siding with outsiders, trying to make us pay them money."
"Father! Mother! Come quickly! Look at your third son! He's dying, and he's being bullied by his brothers."
Gou Lanju simply sat on the ground and started wailing. She knew Sheng Fang was formidable, but she usually didn't bother with her. Judging from the situation today, she probably wouldn't let her off the hook.
