Does the young master of the Zhou family really look down on us villagers?

Although their voices were low, Zhou Cheng's Physique was different from ordinary people, and his hearing was top-notch, so he heard them clearly.

However, Zhou Cheng didn't say much; he had already anticipated this kind of scene on his way back.

Besides, what did this even count as? In his past life, when he hadn't made any money at work and didn't have a girlfriend, coming home for the New Year and passing through the "intelligence hub" at the village entrance was what was truly terrifying.

As long as you passed by, you would inevitably be the aunties' next topic of conversation!

"Second Young Master, welcome home." The butler stood before Zhou Cheng, welcoming him respectfully.

Because his grandparents were elderly, Zhou Yuanbo had also provided them with a butler and several servants at the old Family home.

Their usual duties were maintaining the hygiene of the villa's courtyard and taking care of the elderly.

Zhou Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

Then, he followed Zhou Feiyu into the courtyard.

Although the courtyard at the old Family home wasn't as luxurious or expansive as the manor in Shanghai.

But it was still extravagant! It covered an area of five mu! Zhou Yuanbo had used the old Family home as the center, purchased the neighbors' plots at a high price, and then combined them to build it!

Zhou Cheng looked around the surroundings; it really was quite nice.

Just as Zhou Cheng was following Zhou Feiyu into the house while lost in thought during a moment of Divided Soul, a voice rang out beside him.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, please have mercy. You've just returned, please have mercy..."

Zhou Cheng heard the voice and looked ahead of him!

At this moment, a man dressed simply but with all his limbs intact was standing in front of Zhou Cheng, begging with a QR code!

This is a beggar?

Zhou Cheng frowned. The man's appearance was just a bit plain, and his limbs and body were perfectly healthy. Why was such a person standing before him begging?

"Eh? Uncle, why are you here again today? Didn't I transfer ten thousand to you yesterday?"

Before Zhou Cheng could speak.

Zhou Wanyu, standing to the side, spoke first.

"How is your wife's illness now? That ten thousand should have been enough to help you, right?" Zhou Wanyu added, showing concern for his wife.

His wife is sick?

Zhou Cheng was doubtful? He remained standing still!

"I went to the hospital yesterday and paid the ten thousand you gave me, Second Young Miss, but the doctor said it's still far from enough. So, I had no choice but to come here again."

The man said with a long face, appearing extremely helpless and sorrowful.

This caused the inexperienced Zhou Wanyu to believe him again.

However, in Zhou Cheng's eyes, this man—from his clothing and the act of carrying a QR payment code to his rhetoric—was full of loopholes.

This was clearly a professional beggar committing fraud!

"Second Young Master, your very presence exudes nobility. Please help me. If you do, you'll surely be filled with blessings and live a long, healthy life. Moreover, the Zhou Family is the wealthiest Family in our entire city; you will surely advance ten thousand steps further and flourish forever..."

The man's stream of words was continuous.

He spoke very articulately.

However, such words were useless against Zhou Cheng; his expression didn't even flicker.

Nor did he have any intention of giving money or taking out his phone to transfer funds.

"How pitiful. How about this, I'll transfer another five thousand to you," Zhou Wanyu said.

She had never started a business, never suffered, and had never lacked money since childhood. She had no concept of money at all and couldn't distinguish the man's deceptive tactics.

So, after hearing this, she wanted to transfer money to him again.

Hearing Zhou Wanyu's words, the man's face suddenly lit up with joy. He quickly pressed his palms together and said, "Thank you, thank you so much, Second Young Miss. If I ever have the chance, I will surely repay you..."

After saying that, he held out the payment code and presented it to Zhou Wanyu.

He added greedily, "Second Young Miss, please make it ten thousand. I'm truly at my wit's end; my wife's surgery can't wait any longer..."

This greedy remark made Zhou Cheng frown!

It was one thing to have swindled ten thousand yesterday, but he was back to swindle more today. He even had the audacity to ask for ten thousand when he heard Zhou Wanyu mention five thousand!

Did he really think the Zhou Family's money was easy to swindle, or that the Zhou Family members were brainless?

Zhou Cheng snatched Zhou Wanyu's phone away.

"If you feel like you have too much money, you can transfer it to me. Now put your phone away and follow me inside," Zhou Cheng said.

Zhou Wanyu was a bit surprised to see her phone snatched away!

The man was stunned upon seeing Zhou Cheng's actions and hearing his words.

Then he became anxious. He was clearly about to get another ten thousand, yet at the critical moment of the transfer, he was stopped by this Zhou Cheng!

So he immediately looked at Zhou Cheng and spoke:

"Second Young Master, the Zhou Family is so wealthy, what's wrong with transferring a little money to me? My wife is still lying in a hospital ward and desperately needs money for surgery right now."

"I beg of you, please have some mercy and pity a beggar like me."

The man said with a tearful face.

Doing his best to sell his misery for money.

However, Zhou Cheng ignored him. Holding Zhou Wanyu's phone, he prepared to walk around him and head straight home.

But Zhou Cheng's attempt to go around him was futile.

The man was like a leech, immediately following and stepping in front of Zhou Cheng again.

"Second Young Master, it's fine if you don't want to transfer money to me or if you don't pity me, but why are you stopping the Second Young Miss from giving me money?"

"Do you know? To you, this ten thousand isn't even enough for a single meal, but to me, it could really save my wife and my whole Family!"

The man was relentless and even resorted to direct moral kidnapping.

Zhou Feiyu looked at the beggar and then at Zhou Cheng, saying nothing. He naturally saw through the man's flawed rhetoric at a glance.

As for Zhou Wanyu, she was still curious why Zhou Cheng had snatched her phone, but at this moment, she didn't have any objections. Unconsciously, she had already formed the belief that whatever her Second Brother did was right.

Zhou Cheng didn't speak. Seeing the situation, the surrounding Zhou Family bodyguards stepped forward and pulled the man away!

Telling the man not to block the way!

But at this moment, the man seemed fixated on Zhou Wanyu's ten thousand. After Zhou Cheng's flat refusal and not even looking him in the eye, he seemed to feel humiliated.

As if his self-esteem had been wounded, his emotions boiled over and he began to struggle.

"Is the Zhou Family's young master really this arrogant, this noble, this contemptuous of us villagers?!"

"If that's the case, then what are you noble rich people even doing back in the village? Why don't you just move to the city for good!"

The man shouted.

Hearing this made Zhou Cheng feel quite helpless.

I didn't seem to say a single word to him just now, so how am I being arrogant?

People nearby heard this and quickly gathered around!
