Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack
Chapter 501: Traveling Through Time and Being a Slave (3)
When Ning Ning came through, the world's biggest festival had just ended.
For officials like them, celebrating a festival is more than just celebrating a festival. They have to entertain and socialize, with people coming and going in the house and the servants all being very busy. So after the festival, the lady, in gratitude for everyone's hard work, gave everyone a reward.
Unfortunately, Chen Yiming was a bastard's son, and his aunt had died, so no one supported him and he could only rely on the monthly salary to live a tight life. He usually found fault with and deducted the money from the original body, and this time he simply agreed that the reward money from the original body would be his.
Of course, he still had to pretend, saying that giving you the silver was a foreigner, and taking the silver would be equivalent to admitting that I treated you like a servant, so it would be better to give you a gift as a thank you.
The original body was stunned by his tricks, but at this time Ning Ning came through and said, "Since you said equality, then just take everyone's money equally."
But, do you have the courage?
Having embezzled so much money from so many people, they were bound to make a fuss, but Chen Yiming's behavior was too embarrassing, and he did not have time to brainwash so many people, so he did not dare to say anything and could only take the money and be content.
As for what he said about Ning Ning hearing it wrongly, everyone knew that it was an excuse and no one would believe it.
So, these servants started to make things difficult for him. For example, when he went to get something, they would tell him that it had just been distributed out of stock, or that he would get something of inferior quality, or they would simply give him the wrong thing.
He became less and less careful in his work. Two days ago, when he was riding a horse, the horse threw him off. Although he was not injured, he was embarrassed in front of the whole street. He was so angry that he scolded the horseman.
But the groom stiffened his neck and said, "Our horse has never had any problems. The master and the eldest son have ridden it before. How come the second son had a problem? Could it be that the beast recognizes people? I didn't go out with you. If it falls outside, you can't blame me!"
"You %¥%...¥%¥...¥"
But no matter what, he couldn't scold his servants every day. At that time, officials all cared about their reputation. As long as the servants didn't make serious mistakes, they had to be lenient to them, otherwise people would say that they had a bad family tradition.
It's impossible that only the servants around him have problems every day!
This matter alarmed Chen's father. After some inquiries, he found out that it was he who deliberately withheld the reward money. Chen's father was so angry that he called him over and scolded him severely.
The reason why he didn't beat him was because Chen's father was somewhat suspicious. After all, he was a bastard's son. If he was so greedy for money, could it be that he himself was also deducted from his wealth?
So he asked Chen's mother indirectly, which made her feel very aggrieved.
Tsk, this time Chen's mother also hates him.
Chen's mother also ordered the housekeeper that in the future, all reward money should be distributed directly from the public office and not sent to individual courtyards to prevent someone from embezzling it. This was simply a slap in his face in public!
Chen Yiming was almost angry to death. He could only vent his anger to Ning Ning in private. "A Ning, what's wrong with you? Didn't I say that you and I get along so well? I treat you like a brother and never treat you as a slave. But you actually instigated everyone to make trouble with me, making it difficult for me to move around in the mansion. This is really too much."
Ning Ning bowed and saluted, "I am just a servant, how can I be on good terms with you, young master? You are really embarrassing me, please stop saying that."
"Why can't I say it?"
Chen Yiming seemed to be really wronged, his eyes were almost red, "You know, although I have brothers in the Chen family, they are from different mothers after all. How can they treat me sincerely as a bastard? That's why I want to recognize you as my brother, but you——"
"Well, Second Young Master, you still——"
"Don't interrupt me. I have always believed that being brothers requires more than just blood ties. It also requires similar personalities. It's rare that you can listen to me, so I regard you as my closest relative—"
"No, Second Young Master, you——"
"It's nothing. We have always called each other brothers in private. I didn't even let you call me Young Master. Doesn't that prove my sincerity?! My eldest brother is just a pedantic person. I have nothing to say to him. In my heart, I have never treated you as a servant!"
"Second Young Master, you should look back."
Chen Yiming was stunned, his neck seemed to make a sound, "click", and then he saw his elder brother's face livid, "Okay, you are really my good second brother, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I simply couldn't believe it. You regard me as a pedantic person, but you call the servants brothers, and you think we don't treat you sincerely. It seems that you have been wronged. In this case, let's let Dad do justice, so that we won't be accused of mistreating a bastard's son!"
"Hey, no, big brother, that's not what I meant. Please listen to my explanation, big brother——"
Chen Yiming hurriedly chased after him to explain, but the man refused to listen and went straight to report the case to Chen's father.
Mother Chen also cried, "Although the second son is not my biological child, I believe I have never treated him harshly. Others have never been short of him. Why does he hate me so much and would rather be on friendly terms with the servants? It's not a big deal that I was wronged, but if this matter gets out, wouldn't it also affect the reputation of the mansion? Woo woo, I am really wronged!"
After hearing this, Chen's father hit Chen Yiming with the stick hard and fast, making him howl like a wolf. His buttocks and thighs were swollen, and some places had broken skin and blood was flowing.
But no matter how he begged for mercy, Father Chen was determined to teach him a lesson. When he was tired of beating him, he handed the stick to the person in charge, "Come here, beat him hard, no mercy, beat this evildoer to death without paying for his life!"
Seeing that the beating was almost over, Chen's mother began to plead, "Forget it, this child was not like this before. He fell off the carriage on the way to Beijing and was unconscious for two days. After waking up, his words and deeds changed a lot. He is always on guard against me, as if I want to harm him. It is probably because he has seen the world in Beijing and his heart has become wild. After all, he is still a child. We can just teach him slowly."
Just like that, when Chen Yiming was carried back, he was already unconscious and had fainted completely!
Then he had a high fever and was in so much pain that he was grimacing. The Chen family would hire a doctor for him, otherwise they would really be branded as being harsh on their illegitimate son.
But in this era, a high fever can easily be fatal, so Chen Yiming could only grit his teeth and endure it.
He was not popular in the mansion, and no master came to visit him. In the past, he would have complained in private, but now he dared not say anything. He could only stare at Ning Ning when no one was around, "A Ning, do you hate me?"
Ning Ning looked confused. "Second Young Master treats me so well, how could I bear a grudge against you? You were talking behind the eldest young master's back before, and your voice was getting louder and louder, so he heard it. I kept reminding you, but you didn't react. Second Young Master, if the other masters in the mansion heard what you said, they would be unhappy. Don't say it again in the future."
Seeing that Ning Ning had no intention of being displeased and was even trying to persuade him and think about him, Chen Yiming breathed a sigh of relief.
