Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"How...how dare you talk to me like that?"

Mei Yan subconsciously took a half step back, but quickly stuck out her pregnant belly again. "Fang Wei, I came here for you! You don't know—"

"I don't know what?"

As Fang Wei spoke, he took two quick steps, then suddenly grabbed the basin of dirty water used for washing diapers in the yard and tossed it aside.

"Splash!"

A whole basin of dirty water was poured directly onto Mei Yan!

Her brand-new floral print dress made of polyester fabric was instantly soaked through, and water kept dripping down her back!

The curls in her hair had flattened, sticking to her face in strands, and the powder on her face was washed away, leaving streaks.

"ah!!!"

Mei Yan screamed, completely stunned.

This new dress she's wearing cost her over ten dollars! She bought it specifically for today's protest!

Daya and Erya's eyes widened in surprise as they stared blankly at the wicked woman who had become a drowned rat.

Wu Shaoli was completely taken aback by Fang Wei's sudden action and had no idea what to say.

"Fang Wei! Are you crazy?!"

Mei Yan screamed and tried to pounce on Fang Wei and scratch his face.

The fabric at her chest was soaked through and clung to her body, revealing glimpses of her floral blouse underneath, which swayed violently with any movement.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned to the side, and she missed her target, stumbling and almost falling.

"Am I crazy?"

Fang Wei sneered, "Mei Yan, I haven't even asked you yet, who gave you the right to come to my house and cause trouble?!"

"I'm pregnant with your son!"

Mei Yan clutched her stomach, looking like she'd been bullied. "Fang Wei! Search your conscience! The child in my belly is from your Fang family!"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for treating me like this today?!"

The courtyard fell silent immediately.

Wu Shaoli and her two daughters stared intently at Fang Wei, wanting to see how he would react to these words.

"My seed?"

Looking at Mei Yan's face, which was streaked with dirty water, Fang Wei suddenly asked with a puzzled expression, "Mei Yan, when did I touch you? I don't remember doing that."

"What...what do you mean?!"

Mei Yan panicked, her heart pounding: "You dare to deny it?!"

"What debt should I acknowledge?"

Fang Wei glanced at her stomach and curled his lip: "Don't you have any idea whose child that's in your belly is?"

That bitch!

It's bad enough that he was cuckolded for most of his life, but he was also so heartless that he didn't even wait for him to die on his own!

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mei Yan's face changed instantly, and she even stammered.

How could that good-for-nothing know she slept with other men?!

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Fang Wei scoffed, "Mei Yan, let me ask you, doesn't Zhao Laosan come to your place every few days? You two seem to have a very good relationship!"

"That dress you're wearing, did Zhao Laosan buy it for you?"

He actually had no idea whose child Mui Yan was carrying.

But who cares whose it is!

As long as we can find it any kind of father, that's fine!

And that bitch must have slept with Zhao Laosan too!

"I have absolutely no relationship with Zhao Laosan!"

Upon hearing Zhao Laosan's name, Mei Yan's eyes visibly widened in panic. "Fang Wei, don't make false accusations!"

"No?"

Fang Wei raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "Should we go and call Zhao Laosan over now, so the three of us can confront each other?"

"He'd probably be very happy if he knew he suddenly had a son."

"you?!"

Mei Yan's face turned white, then red, then pale, and suddenly she sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing.

"That damned beast! He got me pregnant and now he's denying everything!"

"I'm a perfectly innocent young woman, and you've just ruined me like this!"

She shouted loudly, but her eyes kept secretly watching Fang Wei's reaction.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll... I'll smash my head against your wall and die!"

Mei Yan had used this trick many times before, and it always managed to subdue Fang Wei completely!

This man is most afraid of losing face; as soon as she throws a tantrum, he backs down!

This time, Mei Yan cried for almost two minutes, but Fang Wei didn't even move, just staring at her coldly.

"Are you done registering?"

Fang Wei waited until she stopped breathing before saying, "Get up when you're done!"

"I won't get up!"

Mei Yan slammed her hand on the ground, crying and cursing, "You heartless bastard! I was sincere to you, I followed you without any status or relationship, and this is how you treat me?!"

"..."

A mocking glint flashed across Fang Wei's face. He squatted down, stared at Mei Yan, and whispered, "Mei Yan, do you think I, Fang Wei, am a complete idiot?"

"You think I can't see through your scheme, that you and Zhao Laosan are working together to set this up?"

Mei Yan's eyes widened immediately: "I didn't—"

"Don't rush to make excuses!"

Fang Wei interrupted her directly, continuing in a cold voice, "Do you know what the higher-ups are up to this year? A crackdown!"

"Do you know how many years you could be sentenced for hooliganism and fraud combined?"

Mei Yan shook her head blankly.

"A minimum of ten years."

Fang Wei raised a finger and said threateningly, "If the situation is serious, getting shot is not out of the question."

"You conspired with Zhao Laosan to swindle my money, and now you're trying to pin the child you're carrying on my name. Don't you think that counts as fraud?"

"If you make a big fuss, do you think the police will bother with a slut like you who deliberately destroys other people's families?"

"I...I..."

Anita Mui stammered, unsure of what to say.

Of course she knows about the crackdown!

A few days ago, the township posted a notice saying that it would crack down on criminal offenses!

But she didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that those were for catching murderers and rapists, and had nothing to do with ordinary people like her!

But now that Fang Wei said that...

"I...I didn't cheat you out of your money!"

Mei Yan's face was pale, and her voice was trembling with tears.

She's still young, she doesn't want to get shot!

"You think you can just say you don't have it?"

Fang Wei stood up, looking at her coldly. "Mei Yan, I'll give you two choices!"

"First, get out of my house right now! Never show your face in front of my wife and children again! I'll pretend this never happened."

"Article Two..."

His voice suddenly grew louder, and could be heard even outside the courtyard.

"I'm going to the police station right now to report this! I'll say that you, Mei Yan, and Zhao Laosan conspired to swindle and cheat me out of my family and even tried to defraud me of money!"

"Do you think the police believe me, an honest, law-abiding farmer with a family?"

"Would they still believe a woman with such a ruined reputation like you?"

Fang Wei himself felt a little shameless when he heard these words.

If you really want to investigate, he's not exactly a clean person, having been involved with Mui Yin for so long.

The banner of "crackdown" is purely for scare tactics!

He was betting that Mei Yan and Zhao Laosan wouldn't have the guts to verify it.

These kinds of swindlers who cheat and deceive in the countryside are most afraid of people in uniform. As soon as they hear the words "police station," their legs go weak!
