Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

"You say I'm indecent? I think you're the one who's disrespectful to your age! Your mouth stinks more than a cesspool at your age! You're always meddling in everything, and look what you've done to your own son! You still have the nerve to criticize me? Saying I'm keeping a lover? Even lovers who keep lovers wouldn't want someone like you. Look at those two hairs on your head, still so smug!"

"You, you, you!"

Xie Guangkun was trembling with anger. Standing on the kang (a heated brick bed), he pointed at Chen Guiying, looking down at her, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You jinx! Get out of here right now! This is my house, it's not your place to cause trouble!"

"I'm causing trouble? You were the one who started it by swearing!"

Chen Gui stood firm, staring intently at him:

"You need to make this clear today: who's a jinx and who's immoral? If you can't explain yourself, I'm not letting you off the hook!"

Xie Yongqiang, sweating profusely, quickly grabbed Chen Guiying's arm and advised her:

"Guiying, shut up! He's my father. Just bear with it a little. Didn't you say you respected the elderly the most?"

Chen Guiying, enraged, flung his hand away and said angrily:

"Respect for the elderly depends on the person! Listen to what he's saying! He's so foul-mouthed, he deserves to be taught a lesson! I have to settle this with him today!"

Xie Guangkun was so humiliated by the insults that he lost his temper and his blood boiled. In a fit of rage, he completely lost his temper and reason.

He suddenly swung his hand and violently overturned the assembled kang table! Lin Chen quickly took the bowl away, while Pi Changshan licked his lips, having been so busy drinking that he hadn't eaten much food yet.

"Splash!"

A piercing cracking sound rang out, plates and bowls were overturned, food, soup, wine bottles and chopsticks were scattered all over the floor, and shards were everywhere, completely ruining a perfectly good meal.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed an empty bowl and smashed it hard at Chen Guiying.

Chen Guiying reacted quickly, dodging to the side. The porcelain bowl crashed against the door frame with a loud bang and shattered into pieces.

This completely enraged Chen Guiying.

Without saying a word, she ripped off her down jacket and threw it aside, then stepped onto the edge of the kang (heated brick bed) and rushed into it!

"You old bastard! You dare to hit someone? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not a Chen!"

Xie Lan quickly rushed over and hugged her waist to stop her:

"Guiying, don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!"

But she couldn't stop the enraged Chen Guiying at all; instead, she was dragged forward a couple of steps, which was completely useless.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Guiying rushed into the kang (a heated brick bed), grabbed Xie Guangkun by the back of his head, and held on tightly.

"Ouch! Let go! Let go right now! It hurts so much!"

He tried to raise his hand to resist, but his hair was being pulled tightly. The slightest movement caused excruciating pain to his scalp. More importantly, his heart ached. He was afraid of pulling all his hair out, so he could only passively follow Chen Guiying's force and move like a little chick, completely powerless to fight back.

"Are you still going to swear at people like that?!"

Chen Guiying gently pulled him towards the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed):

"You're usually so talkative, aren't you? Keep hurling insults! I think you're just bored and have nothing better to do!"

"Don't pull! Don't pull! Your hair is falling out!"

Xie Guangkun begged for mercy repeatedly, his steps becoming uncontrollable, and he was dragged all the way to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

With a forceful pull, Chen Guiying dragged the person off the kang (a heated brick bed).

With a muffled thud, Xie Guangkun fell heavily to the ground.

The room instantly descended into chaos. Yongqiang's mother rushed forward to help, Xie Lan clung tightly to Chen Guiying and tried to mediate, and Pi Changshan kicked the broken pieces on the ground aside, afraid of hurting anyone. Xie Yongqiang was caught in the middle, in a dilemma, anxiously pacing back and forth.

Lin Chen, however, finished his bowl of food, watched the commotion for a while, and then pretended to help Xie Guangkun up and put him back on the kang (heated brick bed).

Xie Yongqiang finally managed to squeeze to the middle, stood in front of her, and whispered to Chen Guiying, "..."

"Guiying, I'm begging you, please calm down and give me some face. Let's go first, and we can talk about it later."

Chen Guiying, panting heavily, pointed at Xie Guangkun on the kang (a heated brick bed) and warned him sternly:

"I'm letting you off the hook today because of Yongqiang! Xie Guangkun, let me tell you, if you dare to spew filth again, I'll teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, she picked up the down jacket from the ground, put it on, turned around and walked out, but turned back and called to Xie Yongqiang when she reached the door:

"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll leave myself!"

Xie Yongqiang sighed helplessly, glanced at the messy house and the disheveled Xie Guangkun, and quickly chased after him.

After the two left, the room finally quieted down, leaving only a mess.

Xie Guangkun slumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), slapping his thigh and wailing loudly, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"I can't live like this! What a misfortune for my family! To be bullied and humiliated by a widow, what's the point of my life!"

Yongqiang's mother stood by, both angry and helpless:

"You're just looking for trouble! You had to start a fight and hurl insults during a perfectly good meal, and now look what you've done – you've turned the house upside down!"

Xie Guangkun howled for a long time, but seeing that no one was genuinely trying to persuade him, his eyes darted around, and he immediately came up with a new plan.

He ran into the yard, found a rope, and reached up to tie it to the gate, pretending to be about to commit suicide, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"I don't want to live anymore! I'd rather hang myself! That way I won't have to suffer like this every day!"

Yongqiang's mother turned pale with fright and rushed forward to grab him tightly:

"What are you doing! Are you crazy! Get down here right now!"

She was too weak to pull Xie Guangkun away, so she quickly called Xie Yongqiang to urge him to come back.

Within two minutes, Xie Yongqiang ran home, panting. Xie Lan and Pi Changshan surrounded him, trying to persuade him. Chaos erupted again at the gate, and more and more people gathered. There was no shortage of onlookers in the village.

Lin Chen saw right through Xie Guangkun's thoughts.

This old man is just putting on an act, trying to kill himself? Does he even have the guts? He's been dragging his feet for ages, waiting for everyone to give him a way out and force Xie Yongqiang to give in.

He chuckled to himself, ran quickly to the gate, grabbed Xie Guangkun's legs tightly, and deliberately shouted loudly.

"Uncle Guangkun! Please don't do anything rash! Come down quickly! We can talk about anything!"

While verbally offering words of dissuasion, he secretly exerted force with his hands and pressed down sharply.

Xie Guangkun was already standing on tiptoe, with his neck just inside the rope loop. The sudden force pressed down on him, and he instantly fell down, the rope loop tightly strangling his neck.

He rolled his eyes on the spot, his tongue lolled out, his hands and feet kicked wildly, and a muffled gurgling sound came from his throat. His face turned purple instantly, and he couldn't even breathe properly.

The people nearby were so frightened that they panicked instantly, thinking that someone had really died, and they were all at a loss.

Lin Chen knew what was going on and knew how to control himself. Seeing that something was about to happen, he immediately loosened his grip and pulled the person down along with the rope.

Xie Guangkun collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently, tears and snot mingling together, unable to recover for a long time.

Xie Lan cried and said:

"Dad, what are you doing? What's the big deal? Is it really necessary to hang yourself? Thank goodness for Lin Chen, otherwise you would be dead here today!"

Xie Guangkun looked up at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. He felt that this kid was deliberately messing with him, but he had no evidence and couldn't say anything.

Lin Chen still pretended to be concerned, squatting down and gently patting his back to help him catch his breath:

"Oh, Uncle Guangkun, why did you do that! Was it really that serious! Look how dangerous that was just now. You can't be so reckless in the future."

Xie Guangkun coughed so hard he couldn't speak a complete sentence. He pointed at Lin Chen, and after a long while, he could only manage to utter a few words:

"You...you..."

Lin Chen gripped his fingers:

"Don't be so polite with me, no need to thank me, it's all my pleasure!"

The courtyard was filled with noise: some were crying, some were trying to comfort others, some were coughing, and some were just watching the spectacle.

Xie Guangkun, who was all smiles and scheming to become a model citizen and eyeing the position of village chief this morning, now looked at the noisy courtyard and completely lost his spirit and energy.
