Chapter 55

Chen Lao Da's wife was extremely unwilling. If it were up to her, she would have just thrown that little wretch away somewhere and not even bothered to keep her in the house. But Chen Lao Da was too insistent, and he had a point, so she could only reluctantly agree to his decision.

"Put it in that corner, don't place it in the center of the yard; it's just bad luck to look at it!"

Chen Lao Da's wife said angrily and walked into the house without looking back, leaving Chen Lao Da alone, shaking his head and sighing.

"What have I done to deserve this!"

Just as Chen Lao Da was about to find someone to help him move the coffin to the corner of the yard, a large, fat man stormed out of the house, drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"My mom told me that that little bitch Xiaoli is dead!"

The fat man stopped, panting heavily, his face full of fat and a bit of foolishness. There was no doubt that this was Chen Lao Da's foolish son, Chen Cong.

Chen Cong's foolishness was innate. As Chen Lao Da put it, this was the retribution from heaven for his excessive behavior in his youth. So from then on, he began to restrain himself, trying to reduce the villagers' hatred towards him.

In fact, over time, the villagers indeed no longer hated him as much, and even because of his low rental prices for farmland and fishing boats, he gained some support.

However, while time could change his image in the villagers' hearts, it could not change the fact that he had a foolish son.

His son was not completely foolish; he was more like half-foolish. If you said he was foolish, he still knew who you were. If you said he wasn't foolish, he would do things and say things that normal people wouldn't.

This was the worst situation, because he was foolish and uncontrollable. He would insist on things that were clearly wrong and had a very bad temper.

Chen Lao Da only had Chen Cong as his son. It wasn't that he didn't want more, but he later developed a blood disease and couldn't have any more children.

As Chen Cong grew older, his demands increased, and his foolishness became more pronounced. He knew Chen Lao Da's status in the village, so he always liked to bully people, shouting things like, "My dad is so and so, what are you going to do to me? Do you think I can't kill you?"...

The villagers, out of respect for Chen Lao Da's authority, had to endure it, but he knew that everyone was secretly laughing at him, no, everyone was mocking him.

But what could he do? He had a foolish son, and he was the only one. He couldn't just strangle him or ignore him because he was foolish, so he had to try to make him better.

But things didn't go as planned. As Chen Cong grew older, his temper became more and more violent. He not only beat the villagers but even hit his mother. His wife, out of concern for her son, always intervened when he wanted to punish him severely, saying that a foolish child couldn't be treated the same way.

As a result, his temper became even worse over time. Last year, his wife suggested that since Chen Cong was already 26, it was time to find him a wife, so the Chen family wouldn't end with him.

He thought it made sense and started to look for a match in the village, but no one's daughter was willing to marry Chen Cong because he was foolish and had a bad temper. Despite raising the price, he couldn't find anyone.

In desperation, he had to look outside the village. Fortunately, he had a relative in a nearby town. He contacted this relative, who then found a human trafficker for him. He spent money to buy a wife for his foolish son.

This wife was the one who jumped into the river, Xiaoli.

Xiaoli was a very beautiful girl, fair-skinned and well-figured. When he brought Xiaoli back, his wife was particularly pleased.

But because Xiaoli had been kidnapped and was scared, she strongly resisted, which made his wife very angry. When he was out, his wife beat her severely.

She also forced Chen Cong to sleep in the same room with Xiaoli. In this way, the wedding was hastily arranged by his wife after Xiaoli had been there for a few days.

After that...

"Did you hear what I said? Tell me if it's true!"

Chen Lao Da came out of his thoughts and found his foolish son pointing at him.

"I've told you many times, you should be polite when talking to people and not point at them!"

Chen Lao Da's face turned cold, and he slapped the hand away forcefully. He was so frustrated that he didn't even want to look at him.

"I don't care about that. Mom said Xiaoli is dead, so I won't have a wife anymore. I want a new wife!"

"How can you be so foolish! Your wife is gone, don't you know that?"

"You're the one who's foolish. I want a new wife! Mom already agreed, and if you don't agree, I'll burn down our house today."

"You idiot, you'll burn down the house if you don't get a wife? You're really driving me crazy..."

Chen Lao Da got angrier and angrier, picked up a stick from the ground, and hit Chen Cong. Chen Cong, seeing Chen Lao Da's anger, didn't dare to argue and ran back into the house, screaming.

"I damn... sigh!"

Chen Lao Da supported himself with the stick for a long time and finally threw it to the ground in frustration. He felt that he would be driven to death by this foolish son.

Late at night, the dim candlelight flickered in the wind, dispelling the cold and darkness.

On the bed, Chen Lao Da was frowning and arguing intensely with his wife:

"Chen Lao Da! Are you crazy! You actually said you want to lock your son in a cage? No matter what, he's still your son!"

"Do you think I want to? But look at him now. Do you know what he said to me? He said if we don't find him a wife, he'll burn down our house. Do you think he can be saved? If we don't lock him up, he might kill us in our sleep one day!"

"My son wouldn't do that! You're heartless, you can bear it, but I can't!"

"Who's in charge of this family, you or me!" Chen Lao Da was also furious:

"Even if he were a good person, you would spoil him! From tomorrow, I'll lock him in the warehouse. When he behaves, I'll let him out. If you dare to let him out early, just try it!"

Leaving these harsh words, Chen Lao Da got out of bed, picked up his pipe from the table, and went outside.

At the same time, the coffin in the center of the yard began to tremble slightly. "Sss..."

Soon after, water droplets started to drip from the seams of the coffin.

The sky became even darker.
