The Devil's Tribulation

As soon as Chen Cuihua went out, she saw a group of villagers gathered outside the yard, all confused. Then she heard her husband questioning her with an angry face: "Tell me! What is your relationship with that fat guy Pan? Whose son is it?!" Chen Cuihua was confused and asked: "Husband, what's going on? Which fat guy? Of course the son is your son, are you crazy?!" The village chief was so angry that he trembled all over: "Okay, okay, you won't tell me, right? You wait, you wait!" As he said that, he turned and went to the kitchen. When he came out, he was holding a kitchen knife in his hand and shouted: "If you don't tell me clearly today, I will chop you first, and then chop that bastard!" As he said that, he was about to chop Chen Cuihua. Chen Cuihua was so scared that her face turned pale, and her lips trembled as she said: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?!"

The villagers nearby saw this and quickly grabbed the village chief, otherwise someone might die. The village chief roared like a tiger, "Let me go, let me go!! Let me cut this shameless man a few times, and he still wants to cheat me. Hu Zi, let go! Let go!" Hu Zi didn't dare to let go, because if someone died, he might be sued.

Hu Zi hugged the village chief's waist tightly and advised: "Aunt! Just tell me, everyone in the village knows about you and Butler Pan, you can't hide it anymore!" Chen Cuihua's heart skipped a beat and she thought: "What about him and Butler Pan? Isn't it just a conspiracy to frame that brat and Liu Yuexin? How come the whole village knows about it? Impossible!" Chen Cuihua couldn't figure it out, but looking at her husband's expression, it shouldn't be for this matter. Then what else is going on between her and Butler Pan? Chen Cuihua suddenly thought: "He also asked if the son is his. Is he saying that Butler Pan and I are having an affair?" Chen Cuihua, who had just reacted, looked at her husband with an angry face, and suddenly tears came out of her eyes. She said aggrievedly: "Husband, don't you believe me? We have been married for twenty years, and now you doubt me and even say that the child is not yours?"

Seeing Chen Cuihua's aggrieved face, Village Chief Pan cried out in pain: "If I didn't believe you, I would have let you deceive me for so long! You have nothing to do with that fat man? Then why do you always run to Pan's house! Tell me! Why?" Chen Cuihua was suddenly speechless. Could she say that she was going to get some firewood, rice, oil and salt? Seeing Chen Cuihua speechless, the village chief thought that he was right. He struggled to break free from the obstruction of several people and came to Chen Cuihua. As soon as he raised the kitchen knife, Hu Zi, who had followed him, snatched the kitchen knife away. However, it didn't matter. He was originally trying to scare Chen Cuihua. If he didn't have a knife, he would use his hands. He raised his hand and slapped Chen Cuihua twice, making her eyes sparkle and she fell to the ground. Then he raised his leg and kicked her a few times, shouting: "You still don't say it, right? I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!" Although Chen Cuihua was not a lady from a wealthy family, she had never been beaten or scolded like this. She cried and said, "Husband, I really didn't, really didn't! Please forgive me."

Pan Chengfeng was so happy watching from the crowd, secretly said: "You vicious woman wanted to harm me! Now you are beaten to death by your own husband, you deserve it!" But thinking that you have to involve the fat man, you can't let the village chief beat Chen Cuihua to death. Everyone in the crowd talked about it, watching the village chief beat his wife, pointing fingers. Suddenly, a voice came from the back of the crowd: "Don't just beat Auntie, the adulterer hasn't been found yet." Yes, where is the adulterer? Everyone followed up and said: "Yes, yes, we should ask Butler Pan in person."

The village chief heard what everyone said and then remembered that the adulterer had not been caught yet. So he pulled Chen Cuihua up and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Pan's house to find that fat man and confront him face to face! If you dare to tell a lie! I will take you to see the official!!" Chen Cuihua was so scared that she begged for mercy, "My husband, I really didn't do it, please forgive me!" The village chief ignored Chen Cuihua's pleading and dragged her to Pan's house. A group of villagers naturally followed, and Pan Chengfeng followed the crowd and went to Pan's house with everyone.

At the Pan residence, Master Pan was drinking tea leisurely, thinking that good things would happen in a few days, and he was in a very good mood. Thinking about Liu Yuexin's face and figure, his heart was burning with excitement, and he heard the servant come to report: "Master, the village chief and a group of villagers outside said they want to see you for something." Master Pan was a little strange, because this cousin would never come to see him at ordinary times, but that sister-in-law would often come to the house to pick up some things. Master Pan was too lazy to care, it was just a matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and his Pan family didn't lack these things. Master Pan asked doubtfully: "Did he say anything?" The servant replied: "No, he just said that he would tell you when he saw you." Master Pan was a little unhappy. What did he have to see him for? Thinking about it, he stood up and said: "Let's go and see what my cousin wants to do?"

Pan Dahu brought his servants and several guards to the gate. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Pan Dahu was shocked. There was a group of villagers outside. They looked like they were here to call for punishment. How had he offended this cousin? After thinking for a while, he was sure that he had not offended him. He felt relieved and asked, "Brother Dabiao, what's the matter? Why do you have to make such a big fuss?" The village chief hadn't noticed it at first. When he turned around, he found that there were quite a lot of people behind him. It was estimated that half of the people in the village were gathered here. The village chief didn't expect that there were only a dozen people watching the excitement at the door, but now there are at least more than a hundred people.

On this journey, Pan Dabiao calmed down. He couldn't bear to kill Chen Cuihua. After all, how could they not have feelings for each other after 20 years of marriage? But now the matter has really become a big deal. If he doesn't make things clear, he and Chen Cuihua will not be able to stay in the village, especially his son. He can't help others raise a child for more than ten years in vain. Thinking of this, Pan Dabiao sneered and said, "I don't dare to be Mr. Pan's brother. I came here today to ask Mr. Pan to call out your housekeeper. I have something to ask him." After he finished speaking, he saw Chen Cuihua's nervous face, and he got angry again! Is there really an affair? The village chief is now heartbroken. Seeing this, Mr. Pan knew that it was not a trivial matter, and he didn't dare to neglect it. He ordered the servants, "Go and call out the housekeeper."

Since Pan Chengfeng frightened him that day, Butler Pan has not dared to sleep for the past two nights. He would be awakened by the slightest noise. He had two dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he was seriously sleep deprived. Now he only dared to make up for a short sleep during the day. He was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Butler Pan was startled, lifted the quilt and sat up, shouting, "Who is it?!" He was afraid that there would be no response after knocking on the door. Fortunately, someone immediately answered, "Butler, the master asked you to come over." Hearing this, Butler Pan felt relieved and asked, "Did he say what?" "No, he just said you were asked to come over." This servant was also mean. He knew that it must be a big deal for so many villagers outside to look for him, but who made the butler treat people harshly? Why should he tip him off? Butler Pan put on his clothes, opened the door and asked, "Where is the master?" "At the gate." "At the gate?" Butler Pan looked puzzled, but he still followed him.

As soon as he arrived at the door, housekeeper Pan was shocked. There was a crowd of people at the door, more than when the village chief first came. When the villagers heard that there was something exciting to watch here, they all put down their work and ran to watch the excitement. Who made this small mountain village too quiet at ordinary times? Housekeeper Pan paused. He was not afraid of a group of mud legs. He often bullied them. So he bowed to Master Pan and said, "Master, do you want to see me for something?" Master Pan pointed at Pan Dabiao in the crowd and said, "It's the village chief who wants to see you for something." Housekeeper Pan turned around with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the crowd. After searching for a while, he saw the village chief in the crowd, and Chen Cuihua beside the village chief. Seeing Chen Cuihua covered in mud, he subconsciously asked: "Chen Cuihua, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in mud?" When the village chief saw the dark circles under the housekeeper Pan's eyes, he could not control his anger. When he heard the fat man start to care about Chen Cuihua, he said angrily: "Fatty! When is it your turn to care about my wife!" The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, especially Pan Chengfeng, who laughed the loudest. He was really just there to watch the fun and was not afraid of trouble.

The village chief's face was livid, and housekeeper Pan was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to respond, but he still asked calmly: "What does the village chief want to talk to me about? I'm busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Hearing people calling him a fat man, housekeeper Pan's tone was naturally not good. The village chief was furious, and he pulled Chen Cuihua and pointed at housekeeper Pan and asked: "Bitch! You still don't say it, right? Is this fat man the adulterer?!" Chen Cuihua was so scared that she nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head. The village chief was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her again! The corner of Chen Cuihua's mouth was bleeding. When housekeeper Pan heard this, he realized that he was here to catch the adulterer, and the adulterer to be caught was him!
