Medic Martial Dragon King

Whoosh——

Upon hearing Jiang Mingcheng’s conditions, the villagers were all in an uproar!

Those terms were too harsh!

To kneel for three days and nights, such punishment only existed in the old society, and it was severe punishment at that—it was a life-threatening demand!

Moreover, to kowtow and apologize to Shen Yuqing? This was clearly a case of public vengeance, a retaliation!

Shen Mingcheng was truly despicable!

The villagers all understood, but not a single one dared to speak up. Because Shen Mingcheng was the absolute authority of this village, and anyone who dared to talk recklessly was simply asking for misfortune.

Thus, the villagers looked at Shen Xiaoqin and her son with pity, but were powerless to help.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoqin’s face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, and shouted, ”I will kneel, and I will also kneel for my son’s three days and nights; he need not kneel!”

Having said that, Shen Xiaoqin crawled in front of the ancestral hall, ready to kneel down.

Shen Mingcheng sneered, not saying a word from his lofty position.

”Don’t kneel!”

Jiang Chen was thoroughly enraged, and without caring about the consequences, he rushed forward, grabbed Shen Xiaoqin, and with a turn, he kicked the table in front of the ancestral hall over.

Shen Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then glared furiously and roared, ”Jiang Chen, are you trying to rebel?!”

Jiang Chen took a quick step and charged up to Shen Mingcheng’s face.

”Ah, you, what are you going to do...” Seeing Jiang Chen as ferocious as Kuang Shi, Shen Mingcheng was scared and took a few steps back. Shen Yuqing also hurriedly stepped back, keeping a great distance from Jiang Chen, fearing a sudden outburst that would get himself beaten.

”What I want to do! I’d like to ask what YOU want to do!” Jiang Chen glared at Shen Mingcheng furiously, ”You’ve said the word ’rebel’; do you consider yourself the emperor of this village? Do you treat us all as your domestic slaves?!”

His words struck a chord. The villagers, who had already harbored grievances against their leader, couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Shen Mingcheng had always been domineering, indeed treating everyone like domestic slaves!

Unfortunately, no one had ever dared to resist.

”You, you’re spouting nonsense! Don’t you even think about inciting trouble here...” Shen Mingcheng was a bit panicked, his lips twitching as he raised his head defiantly, ”We’re talking about your mother’s issue right now; don’t you drag other things into this.”

”Fine, let’s talk about my mother’s issue.”

Jiang Chen sneered, staring coldly at Shen Mingcheng: ”I heard that for the revision of the family records, if one donated money to refurbish the ancestral hall, they would get a good position, right? And that would ensure their name is preserved in the family records, correct?”

”Haha, yes, there is such a thing! Are you still considering donating money to atone for your mother’s sin?”

Shen Mingcheng laughed dryly twice, watching Jiang Chen with a smile that did not reach his eyes, ”This is doable, but while others can just donate a little, a bastard like you cannot. If others donate ten thousand, you have to donate at least a million to be rid of sin, and if you want a better position, then you have to donate even more!”

Shen Yuqing, who had retreated far away, suddenly burst out laughing, ”Hahaha... Jiang Chen, aren’t you just a freeloading son-in-law? And now you’re thinking of making a donation to redeem your mother and secure a good spot in the family records? Keep dreaming! Can you even afford it?”

Upon hearing this, some of the villagers couldn’t help but sneer:

”Exactly, after hitting the village leader’s son, he should apologize nicely. Shen Mingcheng is not someone who can be tricked so easily. He’s still hoping for such a good deal; let’s see how he’ll end this!”

”Alas, it’s Shen Xiaoqin who is to be pitied. She has just come back and is about to be driven out again.”

”No choice, with such a useless son, it’s their fate to be driven away wherever they go.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Shen Yuqing and then at the villagers, sneering as he looked towards Shen Mingcheng, ”How much money do you need to refurbish this ancestral hall in total?”

”Five million!”

Shen Mingcheng spread out his hand, saying with a smug look, ”I’m going to hire the best craftsmen to refurbish our ancestral hall. This is a matter of respect to our ancestors!”

”Good!” Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and he said lightly, ”I’ll donate the entire five million myself!”

”What?” Shen Mingcheng was stunned.

And at that moment, the surroundings fell completely silent!

”All donated?”

That was five million yuan!

Even if they pooled all the assets of everyone in the village, it might not total that sum.

Jiang Chen was actually going to donate it all? This must be fake!

All the villagers were stunned into silence, staring blankly at Jiang Chen.

Shen Xiaoqin was also taken aback, not knowing how much money Jiang Chen had. Thinking Jiang Chen was going to ask the Gong Family for it, she quickly rushed over and tugged at Jiang Chen, saying urgently, ”Xiao Chen, don’t talk nonsense!”

Seeing Shen Xiaoqin try to stop Jiang Chen, Shen Mingcheng immediately realized what was happening, thinking Jiang Chen was bluffing him, and said with a face full of mockery, ”Stop talking big here, are you showing off? You got that money? Five million, aren’t you afraid of dying from bragging? Don’t think that we don’t know, you’re just a freeloader!”

”What if I have it?” Jiang Chen replied with a cold smile.

Shen Mingcheng replied arrogantly, ”If you have it, your mother wouldn’t have to kneel, you could also enter the family records, I’ll even give you a good place.”

”I disdain to join your family records. What I want is to ensure my mother’s everlasting place in the family records, and her name to be first on the temple’s donation board, then you apologize to my mother!” Jiang Chen said, looking coldly at Shen Mingcheng.

Shen Mingcheng sneered, ”Okay! Bring out the money! If you bring out the money, I will apologize to your mother. Do you have the money? Always pretending with me?”

”I didn’t bring money,” Jiang Chen said indifferently.

—Whoosh—

The villagers were in an uproar.

He didn’t bring money, talking all this time?

So Jiang Chen really was just showing off!

The villagers looked at Jiang Chen with immediate disdain in their eyes.

Shen Mingcheng burst into laughter, ”Haha... didn’t bring money? If you didn’t bring money then...”

”But I have a card!”

Jiang Chen interrupted Shen Mingcheng before he could finish speaking, taking out his bank card.

Shen Mingcheng paused for a moment, then mocked again; ”What’s the use of a card? You think we haven’t been around? We don’t have a POS machine, if you can, bring out cash.”

”Without a POS machine you can send someone to withdraw, as long as there’s a bank anywhere, any amount of cash can be withdrawn,” Jiang Chen said coolly.

All the villagers were suddenly dumbstruck.

”Withdraw any amount of money? That’s a lie, right?”

”What nonsense! He’s just bluffing, thinking we’ve never seen the world!”

”Exactly, who in the countryside has a POS machine at home? I think he’s just putting on an act!”

”Definitely!”

The villagers caught on and mocked him one after another.

Shen Yuqing looked at Jiang Chen with a defiant expression, ”You’re just showing off, right? Hand over the card. I’ll go withdraw it. I want to see if money can really be withdrawn. I don’t believe your card has five million. If it doesn’t...hmm! Just wait to kneel right here!”

”Fine, take it. I hope you won’t be scared to death!” Jiang Chen replied with a cold smile, handing the card over to Shen Yuqing.

”Scare me to death? Oh, I’m so scared,” Shen Yuqing said, taking the card and sneering with disdain, ”Dammit, such a grand act of showing off, you’ll see what’s going to happen to you later!”

Afterward, Shen Yuqing immediately went home to drive away.
