183: After modification: Chapter 183 Refuse to Admit to Death 183: After modification: Chapter 183 Refuse to Admit to Death “You all are slandering me!

You…

you say I stole a chicken, and that means I stole a chicken?

I admit that I was wrong before, but I’ve already apologized to Xiaoyu.

Why do you keep clinging to my past mistakes?”

Wu Xiaoyu, seeing his shamelessness, couldn’t help but admire it slightly.

He raised an eyebrow and laughed, “Fine!

Liu Sheng, you really have some nerve!”

“How about this, I’ll let the neighbors know about today’s incident.

Whether you’re a chicken thief or not, they’ll have their own opinions on it!”

Liu Sheng, seeing that they were determined to publicize the matter, finally showed some hesitation and tentatively said, “You…

really want to tear down all pretense?

What’s the benefit to you if you ruin my reputation?”

Benefits?

There were none.

But at the very least, it would make the villagers see Liu Sheng’s hypocrisy and deceit once more!

“I’m just following the example!

Whether the villagers believe it is up to them.

Maybe they’ll even think you’re just here to pick mushrooms?” Wu Xiaoyu laughed.

Liu Sheng looked at the two of them, silent for a long time before he finally begged, “Xiaoyu, I was wrong today!

I shouldn’t…

I shouldn’t have come up the mountain!

I won’t oppose you again in the future!

We’re all neighbors, there’s no need to make things so tense, right?”

“So tense?

When you were telling people that my chickens were pumped with hormones, why didn’t you think about us being neighbors?” Wu Xiaoyu asked sternly.

Liu Sheng, hearing this, was even more shocked and spoke without thinking, “How did you know…”

Wu Dushan, seeing Liu Sheng admit that it was him spreading the rumors, felt a surge of anger and slapped him across the face.

Although Wu Dushan hadn’t practiced any martial arts, he had been doing farm work for years, recently carrying grain and water up and down the mountain daily.

His hands were strong, and Liu Sheng, unable to stay steady, stumbled and fell to the ground from the hit.

Wu Dushan was about to kick him when his cousin Wu Xiaoyu stopped him, advising, “Brother, let it go!

Don’t hit him.

If we hurt him badly, people will think we’re petty!

Let him go!”

Wu Dushan, feeling unsatisfied with just letting Liu Sheng go so easily, scolded Liu Sheng with a frown, “Get lost!

If there’s a next time, I’ll break your legs!”

Liu Sheng, lying on the ground, was stunned at first when they decided to let him go.

Then he slowly got up, cast a doubtful glance at the two of them, and fled in a hurry.

After Liu Sheng left, Wu Dushan said discontentedly, “Xiaoyu, why did you let him go so easily?

He not only came to steal chickens but also spread rumors about our chickens being pumped with hormones.

People like him deserve a beating!”

Wu Xiaoyu picked up a bucket of water and said as they walked, “What use is beating him up?

It would only make the villagers think we’re petty!”

“So that’s it?

We just let this go?”

Let it go?

No way!

Didn’t Liu Sheng love spreading rumors?

Didn’t he cherish his reputation?

How will he face the village once the news of him stealing chickens spreads?

After finishing their chores, Wu Xiaoyu said with a gleam in his eye, “Brother, go home and tell my sister-in-law about this incident!”

Wu Dushan, hearing these words, suddenly felt enlightened.

This is called…

repaying him with his own methods, right?

Wu Dushan knew his wife’s personality very well.

If he told her about this, the whole village would know by the end of the day.

By then, no matter how Liu Sheng tried to argue or counter-accuse, his reputation would already be tarnished.

The last time Liu Sheng secretly competed with Wu Xiaoyu to buy mushrooms, although it was underhanded, it wasn’t a significant moral failing.

It was just greed and somewhat understandable.

But stealing chickens was against the most basic moral principles of the villagers.

A thief was as bad as a rat everyone wanted to beat.

Even though he only stole one chicken, the villagers would hang this on the pillar of shame, making him someone everyone guarded against.

Sure enough, after Wu Xiaoyu’s sister-in-law spread the news, everyone in the village knew about Liu Sheng stealing chickens.

Some people didn’t believe that Liu Sheng would stoop so low, but rumors have power.

Even if it wasn’t true, after being passed around, it became true.

Liu Sheng’s mother, having just finished dinner and intending to chat by the street corner, heard people talking about her son and couldn’t help but stop to listen.

When she heard them say that her son went up the mountain to steal chickens and was caught by Wu Xiaoyu, she got angry.

How could people slander her son like that!

He would never do such a thing!

Just as she was about to argue, someone said, “I heard Dashan gave him a hard slap!

His face was swollen so much…”

Swollen face?

Liu Sheng’s mother, hearing this, became doubtful.

Her son had come back with a slightly swollen face, claiming he had accidentally fallen.

Could it be…

Liu Sheng’s chicken-stealing incident spread so wildly in the village that he didn’t dare to go out.

But staying home, his parents constantly scolded him, making him feel extremely frustrated and oppressed.

And why did all this happen?

It was Wu Xiaoyu, who spread the news in the village!

All this for a chicken?

Ruining his reputation, damn it!

So ruthless!

Liu Sheng had no remorse.

He only felt hatred and anger.

He hated Wu Xiaoyu for being better and stronger than him.

He hated himself for being weak and cowardly, even for his own despicable nature.

Why couldn’t he even be a proper villain?

He wanted revenge, wanted to make Wu Xiaoyu pay, to ruin his reputation, to leave him with nothing.

But he had nothing.

How could he do it?

Just because he couldn’t, didn’t mean others couldn’t.

Anger made Liu Sheng’s mind work a bit sharper.

Liu Sheng thought carefully and finally called Chen Zhaofeng again.

It was already late at night.

Chen Zhaofeng, just having fallen asleep, was annoyed when the phone rang.

Groggily, he answered, “Hello…

who’s this?”

When Liu Sheng saw the call connected, he excitedly said, “Hello, Boss Chen, it’s me, Liu Sheng from Daxin Village…”

Before he could finish, Chen Zhaofeng on the other end cursed, “Are you crazy!

Calling this late at night?”

Liu Sheng, despite his anger at being cursed, held back and smiled, “Boss Chen, don’t get mad.

I have some news about the chickens…”

Chen Zhaofeng, hearing about the chickens, immediately perked up, put on a coat, sat on the sofa, and patiently asked, “What’s up?

Have you discovered the secret of his chicken farming, or did you steal one?”

The word ‘steal’ pricked Liu Sheng’s nerves.

Damn it!

If not for you hiring me to steal the chickens, I wouldn’t have been caught by them and gossiped about by the whole village.

But to get back at Zhang Dadan, Liu Sheng suppressed his resentment and explained, “Boss Chen, I’ve observed for several days.

It seems he really is using hormones on the chickens!”

Chen Xingye, though suspicious that Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens were hormone-boosted, as regular chickens couldn’t grow that fast nor be that tender.
