Wang Daming looked at He Zhenzhen's carefree expression and felt relieved.

He was worried that she might act recklessly if cornered.

"But you promised to cut me a share after we get the money, so don't go back on your word."

Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

He Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, you'll get your part."

The two of them were shamelessly discussing someone else's property.

Li Hongzhuan, the village chief's sister, listened nearby, fuming with anger.

"You shameless people, get out of here!"

He Zhenzhen's actions had truly disgusted the villagers; when they found out what she had done today, they couldn't help but spit in disgust.

They had seen shameless people before, but ones this brazen were rare.

He Zhenzhen was shoved and stumbled, immediately revealing a fierce expression.

"Old hag, you dare lay a hand on me? Don't think just because you're older, I won't fight back."

Li Hongzhuan was furious, "Get out! Don't stay at my house."

He Zhenzhen acted all nonchalant.

"Why so angry during the New Year? What's wrong with staying at your place? Aren't you scared living in such a big house alone? If we leave, what if some thug sneaks in at night to steal? Just think of us as helping you keep an eye on the place."

The old lady was trembling with rage.

Don't think she couldn't tell, He Zhenzhen's words were outright threats.

If she drove her out, she feared some thug might actually come to steal, also likely instigated by He Zhenzhen.

It's truly hard to get rid of troublesome people once you let them in; Li Hongzhuan was so angry that she felt dizzy and went back to her bedroom to lie down for a while.

Otherwise, she feared she might faint from anger.

He Zhenzhen spat.

"What a fool, trying to fight me!"

Wang Daming didn't say a word beside her, but he instinctively moved a bit away.

He didn't even want to acknowledge this woman as his mother.

In the past, considering they had to live in Daye Village, He Zhenzhen had been somewhat restrained, yet even so, she was known as a shrew in the village.

Now, without any reservations, she revealed the darkest aspects of her character.

Even Wang Daming had to be on guard around her.

"What's up? Why so far away, don't you want the money anymore?" He Zhenzhen seemed to notice his thoughts and glanced at him sideways.

"Ha-ha, no, I was just wondering where Caidie went."

Wang Daming tried to change the subject, but looking around, he realized he hadn't seen Zhang Caidie for a while now.

He Zhenzhen pouted, "She's having a fit, not fit to be seen."

"What?"

Anyway, they were in this together, so He Zhenzhen didn't hide it. She took Wang Daming to the storeroom where Zhang Caidie was temporarily staying.

As soon as he opened the door, a terrible stench wafted out, making Wang Daming involuntarily cover his nose.

"Oh man, what's that smell? It's worse than a latrine."

Entering, he saw Zhang Caidie tied to a pillar in the room, her lower body in filth, covered in excrement and urine.

Foam hung from her lips, and she seemed unconscious.

There was no trace of her past glory as a celebrity.

"What happened to her?" Wang Daming was startled, "Why don't you take her to the hospital? What if something happens?"

Not that he truly cared about Zhang Caidie, he was just afraid of being implicated.

He Zhenzhen pinched her nose, "Can she be taken to the hospital? If we take her there, they'll report it and have her locked up."

Wang Daming looked at Zhang Caidie's state, and a terrible suspicion crossed his mind.

"She isn't doing that stuff, is she?"

"What do you think? Why else would I have to ask Zhang Qianhai for money, if not being drained by her? That stuff is a bottomless pit."
