You want money, huh? I'll give you another 500,000!

"What's going on? The second boy of the Zhou Family looks down on us villagers?"

"That can't be right. Xiao Cheng just got back. Even though he's a young master from the city who barely comes home, he wouldn't look down on us!"

"Isn't this The Wretch from the neighboring village? Is he here to beg for money from the Zhou Family again?"

"This scoundrel should be driven away quickly. He goes to the city every day to beg for money. He's built a three-story house and even bought a car for his son! Yet he still cries poor and begs for food. How shameless!"

"Get lost already! What are you shouting for? Everyone knows what kind of person you are, Wretch!!!"

"..."

When the neighbors from the surrounding villages heard The Wretch's noisy words, they immediately gathered around.

They were all talking at once. At first, they thought Zhou Cheng, the Second Young Master who had just returned, was truly arrogant and looked down on the villagers.

But after seeing who was making the scene, they immediately sided with Zhou Cheng.

They were all villagers and knew The Wretch's character; they knew he was a professional beggar.

They knew he went to the city and other developed cities every day to trick people out of money by begging!

Hearing The Wretch's words, Zhou Wanyu's pretty brows furrowed, and she quickly spoke up to explain for Zhou Cheng.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense. My second brother doesn't look down on the villagers at all. Besides, didn't I already give you ten thousand yuan yesterday? Even if my second brother doesn't want to give you any now, you can't talk about him like that!"

Zhou Wanyu's voice was crisp and sounded very innocent.

As soon as she said this, the crowd of onlookers all frowned.

Some even exclaimed:

"Ten thousand yuan? That much? I can't even earn that much in two or three months."

"It really was ten thousand yuan. The Second Young Miss gave it to him. I was there at the time and almost couldn't help but want to beg for money too."

"Well then, you Wretch! You already got ten thousand yuan yesterday, and now you're still pestering them!"

"You Wretch! You already swindled ten thousand yuan yesterday, and today you're here begging and framing the Second Young Master of the Zhou Family. You really aren't afraid of divine retribution."

At this moment, the accusations from the people around him continued unabated, but to The Wretch, there was no pressure at all. He was a shameless professional beggar to begin with.

He had long since thrown the concept of 'face' to the back of his mind.

At this time, outside the Zhou Family residence, it wasn't just The Wretch alone; there was also a group of his fair-weather friends and fellow beggars.

When they heard from The Wretch yesterday that he had begged ten thousand yuan, they were all extremely envious. So today, they all followed The Wretch to the Zhou Family!

They all wanted to get some money from the Zhou Family. They knew the Zhou Family was truly wealthy; to the young masters and young misses of the Zhou Family, ten or twenty thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket!

If they could beg for ten or twenty thousand, they could live comfortably for a long time.

So they all rushed to the Zhou Family, just wanting to beg for money!

"What do you know? This young master of the Zhou Family just looks down on us. If he doesn't want to give money, then don't give it, but why look down on people?"

"Exactly! He had such an arrogant look the moment he got out of the car. What, are we villagers inferior? Is being rich so great?"

"..."

The Wretch's people spoke overbearingly. They were all part of the same gang. Sometimes when they were short on money, they would even team up to stage accidents for insurance scams. Their methods were seasoned, and they played the role of scoundrels to the extreme.

Zhou Cheng stood where he was, still holding Zhou Wanyu's phone. He listened to The Wretch's words, as well as the words of the neighbors and The Wretch's gang.

He felt a sense of irony in his heart. This was his first time returning to the village after his Transmigration. He had originally wanted to revisit and experience the rural life of his past life in a peaceful and quiet way.

He had thought about taking a step back in everything and not being too pedantic or pursuing matters.

He thought that the village was naturally a mixed bag with complex hearts. Especially when returning home in glory, one was more likely to see all sorts of monsters and demons.

Furthermore, the villagers' legal knowledge was insufficient, so he shouldn't take things too seriously.

He hadn't expected to encounter a scoundrel right after getting out of the car.

Even after he already knew the man's intentions and that he was swindling through begging...

When he was magnanimously prepared to bypass him and go home, the man actually refused to back down and even tried to morally kidnap him.

He hadn't expected this hoodlum scoundrel to actually act so overbearingly and even frame him as an arrogant young master with his nose in the air.

It was truly a headache. In that case, he might as well take things seriously!

Hearing his brothers' words and seeing Zhou Cheng standing there dazed without speaking, The Wretch's mindset immediately stabilized.

He thought to himself that, based on his years of experience begging in the city, young people who had just graduated were the easiest to trick.

They had just started working and had some spare money. At the same time, their hearts hadn't been hardened by society yet, and they still retained their innocence. So, when begging from them, he could always get some money more or less.

Just like Zhou Wanyu.

As for this Second Young Master of the Zhou Family! Although he knew a bit more than the Second Young Miss, Zhou Wanyu, he had immediately become dazed after being shouted at. To put it bluntly, he was just a young master without much experience!

As long as he acted like a scoundrel in a moment, the man would have to give money even if he didn't want to!

Thinking this, The Wretch immediately tried to pull away the bodyguard's hand while shouting:

"Let go! This road outside the Zhou Family home is public property. What right do you have to block me and drive me away?"

"Second Young Master Zhou, you don't have to give money, but you must apologize to me today! I may be a beggar, but I have dignity too!"

"If you don't apologize, we'll come to your doorstep every day to make a scene! When the time comes, don't even think about holding the Zhou Family's Birthday Celebration!"

Such shameless words sparked another heated discussion among the neighboring onlookers.

They all stood to one side, helping Zhou Cheng curse at The Wretch.

However, The Wretch still looked nonchalant, not caring about everyone's insults at all.

Zhou Cheng almost burst out laughing upon hearing The Wretch's words.

This world was truly bizarre.

A beggar was actually demanding an apology from the homeowner with full confidence just because they wouldn't give money.

Truly ridiculous!

"From what everyone's saying, your name is The Wretch?"

Zhou Cheng said, looking at The Wretch with interest.

His expression didn't fluctuate at all.

"My name is Second Son Xia. That bunch of people looks down on me, so they call me The Wretch, but I don't care. If you want to call me that, go ahead," The Wretch said indifferently.

He thought that since he was a scoundrel anyway, he didn't care about his reputation!

"Based on what you and my little sister just said, your wife is sick and desperately needs money for surgery?" Zhou Cheng asked again on purpose.

His tone even became soft and concerned.

The Wretch was stunned by Zhou Cheng's words.

His wife had run away long ago; where would he get a wife? He only had a son who spent all day out drinking and playing.

These were all lies he used to trick Zhou Wanyu.

But at this moment, hearing Zhou Cheng's words, he responded without even thinking!

"That's right! What about it?" The Wretch was a bit confused.

Could it be that after asking this, the Second Young Master of the Zhou Family was prepared to give him money?

That would be great!

"Surgery must cost a lot of money, right? My little sister gave you ten thousand yesterday, but that's certainly not enough!"

"How about this, I'll give you another five hundred thousand?"

Zhou Cheng said with narrowed eyes, a slight smile still on his lips.

But! At this moment, Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Wanyu, who were familiar with Zhou Cheng, had already felt the Killing Intent emanating from him!

As for Zhou Cheng, he was casually composing a script in his mind.

"Swindled Out of Ten Thousand Yuan by a Professional Beggar Upon Returning Home? I Turn Around and Give Him Another Five Hundred Thousand!"

This script is pretty good, right?

Five hundred thousand is easy to take, but the amount swindled would be exceptionally large! At least ten years starting! How will you deal with that?
