"What do you mean by saying it's always someone else's fault no matter what happens? Are you all so overbearing?"

Liu Yao said mockingly.

Gao Changjing pointed at Chen Fang with his finger.

He said excitedly, "Back in the day, Tongbu Village was a backward and remote little village. With over a thousand residents, if anyone fell ill, they could only wait to die. It was his parents who came to this village. Since then, the children in the village could be born safely, and the elderly could live to a ripe old age. Do you know how many people have received kindness from Mr. and Mrs. Chen Zhiguo? Their family are benefactors of our Tongbu Village. In our village, as long as one is the son of Chen Zhiguo, they can do anything."

These words were spoken with great fervor.

They also brought many of the older folks to tears.

Gao Changjing looked at Meng Donglin.

He said, "How can you be so ignorant? If your dad were still alive, he'd whip you to death. Have you forgotten, you brat, when you broke your bone playing around as a kid? If it weren't for Doctor Chen saving you, you'd be a cripple right now. How can someone so ungrateful still have the face to stay in our Tongbu Village?"

Rebuked in this way,

Meng Donglin's face was filled with guilt.

He lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

At this moment,

Xing Huifang stood out.

Hands on her hips, she said, "Uncle Gao, what are you talking about? Just because I was bullied by another man, should my man just stand by and watch? How are you acting as an elder? Should I, as a woman, have no shame?"

Gao Changjing heard this.

He was just about to speak.

Chen Fang interrupted him.

He asked, "Uncle Gao, may I say a few words?"

Gao Changjing nodded indulgently.

He said, "Child, speak."

Chen Fang nodded slightly.

He said, "What happened today, I won't explain. No matter how I explain, they will frame me. Brother, could you please go to the bedroom again and pick up a few pieces of clothing from the floor for me?"

The worker brother glanced at Meng Donglin.

Waiting for his approval,

he hurriedly ran inside.

After a while,

he came out holding two pieces of clothing.

These were the clothes Xing Huifang had taken out of the wardrobe for Chen Fang to change into.

Chen Fang hadn't even had the chance to put them on before so much had happened.

Chen Fang took the clothes and handed them directly to Meng Donglin, asking, "Brother Donglin, look, are these your clothes?"

Meng Donglin suspiciously opened them and after a glance, shook his head, saying, "These aren't mine. Where did they come from?"

Chen Fang looked at Xing Huifang.

Xing Huifang, who had been commanding just moments ago, now looked tense, with sweat beginning to form on her forehead.

"These clothes," Chen Fang said, "were given to me by your wife, Xing Huifang, to change into. Since they aren't yours, whose are they?"

Chen Fang unfolded the clothing.

The clothes were quite large.

They didn't match the skinny Meng Donglin at all.

But at the scene, there was one person who they suited perfectly.

All eyes, as if by some unspoken agreement, turned towards the plump Liu Yao.

"It's Mr. Liu's. I've seen him wear this set of clothes before,"

blurted out a colleague suddenly.

Liu Yao immediately realized something was terribly wrong.

Waving his hands repeatedly,

he said, "They aren't my clothes, not my clothes. How could my clothes appear in Old Meng's house? It must be Chen Fang's doing; he stole my clothes to frame me."

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, by your logic, I harassed Xing Huifang and got caught red-handed by you all, and then I brought these clothes to frame you. Do you think that's possible? Unless someone knew beforehand that something was going to happen in this house today, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Chen Fang asked.

Meng Donglin suddenly slapped his thigh,

and said, "Mr. Liu, it was you who had me on duty at the construction site today, then you suddenly came back and took a few of us out for drinks. After finishing the drinks, you said it wasn't enough and wanted to continue at my house. Could it be that you had all this planned beforehand?"

Upon hearing this,

Liu Yao became even more panicked.

He stammered, "Old Meng, how can this... how is this possible? I don't know... didn't know this would happen... It... It has nothing to do with me."

Gao Changjing had already sensed something was off.

He glared fiercely at Xing Huifang.

He demanded loudly, "A'Fang, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Xing Huifang clearly lacked composure.

Rebuked like this,

she shuddered all over.

Looking up, she saw the questioning and angry eyes of the villagers.

She could no longer hold back.

With a thump, she knelt on the ground.

Crying and sobbing, she said, "Uncle Gao, Uncle Gao, I was wrong... it was Liu Yao who told me to do it, he told me to seduce Chen Fang intentionally, and then have our Old Meng catch us in the act."

"You wretched woman, you're framing me!"

Liu Yao knew things had gone terribly wrong.

He even tried to rush over and kick Xing Huifang.

But the villagers stopped him.

Gao Changjing asked, "Why did you listen to him?"

"He... I and him... we have already... wuu wuu wuu... I can't say it..."

No sooner had Xing Huifang finished speaking,

Than Meng Donglin, foolish as he may be, understood what she meant.

Fury consumed him.

He slapped Xing Huifang across the face and yelled, "You whore, you slut! I work hard to make money to support you, and you cheat on me at home? Do you have no shame? You even collaborate with an outsider to trap your own man, you are worse than a pig or dog…"

"Wuu wuu wuu... Donglin, I was wrong, I will never dare again..."

Xing Huifang was struck.

Covering her face, she started to sob pitifully.

Meng Donglin turned around.

And looked towards the panicked Liu Yao.

Liu Yao's mind went blank.

He kept retreating.

And said, "Donglin, that... it was an accident, all accidents... I didn't do it on purpose... If today's events cause us to lose our job site, then none of us will be able to make money..."

"Make your mother! Does your father care about money over his own dignity?"

Ultimately, Meng Donglin couldn't hold back anymore.

He flew into a rage.

And tackled Liu Yao to the ground.

His fists rained down on Liu's body and face like raindrops.

Liu Yao, except for begging for mercy, had no strength to fight back at all.

Just like that,

a brutal beating ensued.

Liu Yao was left barely breathing.

He lay on the ground groaning, unable to even muster the energy to speak.

Meng Donglin, panting, stood up.

And walked up to Chen Fang,

and with a thump, knelt down.

With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Chen... leader, it's all my fault, I was wrong to blame you, I apologize to you."

Chen Fang tried to help Meng Donglin up from the ground.

But Gao Changjing stopped him.

He said, "Tonight, you'll kneel here until daybreak, then divorce your wife in the morning. Such a woman is of no use to keep around."

"No, Uncle Gao, please, Uncle Gao, I don't want a divorce, I don't want a divorce..."

Even though Xing Huifang had an affair with Liu Yao,

she also knew that Meng Donglin was a decent husband.

Hearing this, she began to cry bitterly.
