Chapter 1

The Cheng family has indeed fallen into decline, and the character of Young Master Cheng has severely impacted the next generation

She feels very wronged. These people do not believe her words, yet Cheng Hao does not come out to clarify either

This cunning woman has great abilities, causing the Cheng family to be in turmoil for quite some time without peace

I am

He entered the house quite naturally

Cheng Yi chimed in from the side, saying that he would try to persuade him

Zhou Honghong gritted her teeth, desperately gripping his hand, her nails digging in.

His name is Cheng Yi

Come back early. Without waiting for her to finish speaking, he hung up the phone

After this, the second concubine enjoyed a period of great prosperity. However, this Young Master Cheng, having indulged excessively, became frail and weak, and passed away at an early age

The young woman, feeling despondent, threw herself into the river that very night. It was only then that her mother realized she had made a grave mistake and, in her anger, reported the incident to the authorities

She wanted to escape out the door, but he was too strong, and she simply could not break free. "Cheng Yi, what exactly do you want?"

Now the whole town knows that her daughter has lost her innocence

Zhou Honghong, if you do not agree, then I will have no choice but to cook the rice first

The old master frowned at Zhou Honghong's attitude, dropped the betrothal gifts, and left.

The next day, Cheng Yi approached Zhou Honghong

Cheng Yi sat leisurely on the sofa, not even glancing at her, and said a second sentence. "I am Cheng Yi, your man from now on"

She feels that this town is truly wonderful, much quieter than her own town, and she sleeps more comfortably here than in the big city

The eldest grandson of the old master of the Cheng family, Cheng Hao, was naturally lecherous. One night, he defiled a young woman from the town.

But this is intentional

He still smiled, but his tone was very distant: "Zhou Honghong, first calm the old master down, so that both you and I can be well. Otherwise, he will come looking for you and me every few days; don't you find that annoying?"

Currently, the old master is firmly convinced that the Cheng family owes Zhou Honghong an explanation, and thus he has instructed Cheng Yi to make amends on behalf of that eldest grandson

Perhaps it was the unpleasant experiences of his childhood that gave him an inexplicable sense of strangeness in her eyes

Mother Zhou comforted her, saying that after a while, everyone would gradually forget about this matter

Cheng Hao only said no. He did not lie; he intended to force Zhou Honghong, but he was unsuccessful

In the midst of the chaos, she groped for a brick and hurled it fiercely at Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao cried out in pain from the blow and released her.

Cheng Hao loves to visit prostitutes, while Cheng Yi has a penchant for gambling

This side has reached an agreement. However, on the other side, the young lady is completely unwilling, making a fuss at home about not getting married. Her mother has already accepted the betrothal gifts and is determined to have her marry into the Cheng family

Zhou Honghong believes that Cheng Hao is a typical person with a simple mind, and apart from his brute strength, he is easy to deal with in other respects

Suddenly, a ringing sound startled Zhou Honghong awake

She also does not know whether he is colluding with those thugs to cheat, but she has noticed that he is quite skilled at gambling

The old master's son, Master Cheng, is a man of great charm. In his youth, he was entangled with a seductive woman and fathered a son.

She pulled the quilt up to cover her head. The ringing stopped and then rang again, ringing and stopping repeatedly. In the end, she still answered it

The two had encountered each other before, but had not exchanged a single word. Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "You are Zhou Honghong?"

If it can be said that Zhou Honghong is afraid of Cheng Hao, then her fear of Cheng Yi is fear upon fear

The old gentleman indeed remarked that she was not young anymore; in the past, women of this age would already have several children.

Cheng Yi instead smiled, and that smile made her even more afraid. "Well, that's good. I will just consider it as meeting my mother-in-law in advance mhetushu .com com."

That group of women was completely engrossed in their own conversation, showing no regard for the dialogue between the mother and her child

The disgraceful deeds done by Cheng Hao, just say it was me

Zhou Honghong stared blankly at her phone, then shouted, "Cheng Yi, you bastard"

She knew that Cheng Yi probably did not know she had left. In other words, he had not returned to their house for such a long time

Zhou Honghong eagerly wanted to explain, but everyone thought she was just trying to cover up. She truly found herself at a loss for words. Since then, while walking on the street, she felt that the gazes of others were filled with pity and curiosity.

Zhou Honghong has been in Huangxi Town for nearly half a month, but Cheng Yi has not contacted her.

Mom, it's nothing. I'm fine," she hurriedly comforted.

Cheng Yi also let her go and gave her a few more reminders

Mom Zhou came over and pulled her, anxiously asking: "What on earth is going on?"

The old gentleman is well aware of his grandson's character and does not trust him, firmly believing that he is one who dares to act but lacks the courage to take responsibility, insisting that he must bear the consequences.

Cheng Yi does not know her. However, the name of Cheng Yi is known throughout the town

Zhou Honghong was afraid he would get serious, and said anxiously, "Alright. You let go quickly."

The old gentleman remained quite calm, stating that Cheng Yi had long admired Zhou Honghong, and he had come for Cheng Yi.

The young lady has encountered this misfortune, and in her deep sorrow, she is even contemplating suicide. Yet, her mother is audaciously going to the Cheng family to demand an explanation.

Mother Zhou found it difficult to comprehend the conservative thoughts of this old gentleman

However, the Cheng family still has a grandson

One of them reacted and shouted: "Honghong has lost her virginity!" Upon hearing this, the crowd agreed and said: "Who did this? What a sin."

Cheng Yi only glanced at her after finishing his words, and then he left

Cheng Hao is notorious, and the moment Zhou Honghong saw him, she was already on guard. Upon noticing his movements, she quickly fought back and shouted for help

The town is a conservative place, and it is quite a terrifying matter for women to lose their virtue

He remained silent after listening, stood up directly, and approached her to remove her pants

Zhou Honghong was born in Yongji Town, which, although not large, is rife with gossip and rumors

Zhou Honghong, how should I put it, I look forward to your guidance in the future

Unfortunately, during this time period, everyone has gone home for dinner, and hardly anyone will pass by here

On weekdays, he appears to be a small-time thug, leading a group of ruffians

She was dumbfounded

My mother is sleeping in the back room I am going to call someone

The old master came to the Zhou family with a betrothal gift

Old Master Cheng was a stubborn man who understood the importance of reputation for women. He discussed with the mother and advised her not to report to the authorities, proposing to marry her daughter to Cheng Hao, assuring her that her daughter would be free from worries about food and clothing for a lifetime

One day, Zhou Honghong was on duty at school and returned home later than usual. She thought about getting home early, so she took a shortcut.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the town was abuzz with rumors that Zhou Honghong had been assaulted. People were eagerly inquiring about the identity of the assailant, and as they speculated, they eventually pointed fingers at Cheng Hao. Consequently, they came to comfort Zhou Honghong, urging her not to overthink the situation, assuring her that Old Master Cheng would certainly provide her with an explanation

One day, Young Master Cheng had a sudden whim and decided to emulate the ancient practice of having multiple wives and concubines, claiming that he had taken a second concubine, bringing the seductive woman and her child into his household

The authentic young master of the Cheng family has departed

The old master spent a large sum of money to settle this matter privately, and when he returned home, he gave Cheng Hao a severe beating

She reached for her phone on the bedside table, but after seeing the caller ID, she put it down again, allowing it to ring.

There is a prominent family with the surname Cheng in the town, and they are particularly talkative

Upon hearing this rumor, the old master immediately questioned Cheng Hao

She believes that not everyone is so fortunate, and one must inevitably rely on cunning and strategy.

Seeing the rumors about his grandson forcing Zhou Honghong intensifying, the old man has firmly established the idea that he must take responsibility for Zhou Honghong

"Well, I don't want others to constantly remember that I took over Cheng Hao's woman"

After a while without hearing her response, he finally looked up at her, his gaze cold. "Have you forgotten? The old man has betrothed you to me."

In the evening, the old man said that Zhou Honghong probably denied the matter out of shame. After all, she was bullied by the Cheng family, and with such rumors circulating about her, how could she ever get married in the future

He had that expression, half-smiling, half-serious, which made her afraid of provoking him. She feigned weakness. "I do not know you, and you do not know me. If it is just for those rumors, it is truly unnecessary."

Mother Zhou declined, stating that her daughter is still young and it is not appropriate to consider these matters too early

This Cheng Hao was also feeling frustrated. Damn it, he failed to accomplish the task and was hit by that woman. Now he was being forced to take responsibility, which he certainly refused. He argued back at the old man a few times in anger, and that night he packed his things and ran away from home

The old gentleman was so enraged that he jumped up and hurriedly searched for someone everywhere. He did not know where Cheng Hao had hidden, and after searching for ten days, there was still no trace of him

Zhou Honghong was eager to explain, but a group of women chattered away, completely ignoring her as the person involved

As she passed through a narrow alley, she happened to encounter the drunken Cheng Hao. Upon seeing her, he grinned and lewdly lunged towards her.

Cheng Yi ... ... I ... ...

Only after sending that group of women away did Zhou Honghong tell her mother what had happened. Knowing that her daughter was safe, Mother Zhou let out a sigh of relief

The old gentleman was once again worried that the incident with that young lady attempting to take her own life would happen again, contemplating how best to persuade her.

The mother originally thought that this girl, lacking a son to cherish, would not be a bad match for the Cheng family, and without even asking her own daughter's opinion, she agreed to this marriage proposal

I think you are mistaken; there is no such thing. What qualifications does that Old Master Cheng have to promise her to him

"Zhou Honghong, when will you return?" Cheng Yi's tone was consistently cold.

Cheng Hao's scheming nature was restrained for a period due to this matter, but later he became reckless again

Zhou Honghong was home alone, suspecting that this Cheng Yi was not a good character. She initially did not want to close the door, but seeing that the neighbor seemed to be looking over here unintentionally, she decided to shut the door slightly, hoping that her mother would return soon

At present, the emotions of the onlookers have reached an unprecedented climax

Who would have thought that half a month later, the old master of the Cheng family suddenly visited the Zhou family, a move that further confirmed the rumors of Zhou Honghong being violently assaulted by Cheng Hao

At this point, the old master could hardly wait to expel the second concubine and her son from the house. The second concubine pleaded desperately, saying that she only hoped for a place to settle down and promised not to cause any trouble thereafter. After some consideration, the old master decided to keep the mother and son.

Zhou Honghong herself firmly expressed her refusal

Upon seeing her, they were filled with panic and confusion, her clothes disheveled, and her skirt stained with blood, they exclaimed: "What happened?"

Zhou Honghong was completely unconcerned about where she had hit Cheng Hao, and hurriedly ran outside. In her panic, when she rushed home, she happened to encounter her five aunts and six grand-aunts.

Mother Zhou and Zhou Honghong were both taken aback, hurriedly explaining that there was absolutely nothing of the sort.
