Chapter 57: Confrontation
Seeing her husband’s repeated refusals, Jin Duoduo’s temper flared up.
"Mo Yougen, you’re hiding something, that’s why you’re afraid to confront me together. You’re just a faithless man, see if I don’t beat you to death."
Jin Duoduo had always been rather fierce, plus she was from the city, so she felt she had a higher status than the others in Luwei Village. She was always the one in charge at home, but she never thought her husband would one day cheat on her.
Seeing Jin Duoduo being so relentless and also noticing the increasing number of people pointing fingers, Mo Yougen’s veins popped out on his forehead, but he knew this wasn’t the right time for him to lose his temper.
"Jin Duoduo, even if Li Xue’er’s son has a birthmark on his lower back, how can you be so sure it’s mine? How can you decide something based solely on a birthmark? That’s just too arbitrary."
"But that birthmark is leaf-shaped, exactly like the ones that run in your family."
Mo Yougen responded calmly, "It’s just a birthmark; it’s normal if it looks the same."
"Nowadays, I think you can do a blood test."
Someone in the crowd murmured softly.
Others began to realize the same thing.
"Yes, it’s quite simple."
Mo Yougen’s face turned dark as he realized there was no avoiding this. He looked at Jin Duoduo with eyes that wished he could eat her alive.
Jin Duoduo felt a chill deep inside from his stare; she had never seen her husband like this before. Could it be that she really was in the wrong?
No...
The one who did wrong was clearly Mo Yougen, so why should she be blamed?
"Yougen, since your wife doesn’t trust you, just go to the hospital for a test. I heard it’s very convenient now."
"Yes, Yougen, otherwise your family is going to be noisy forever. Better to figure it out early."
It was the older relatives who were advising, and even if Mo Yougen wanted to resist, he could only force a smile.
"Uncle, there’s no need for a test. I don’t even know Li Xue’er. We’ve got no relation at all, so this is impossible. Duoduo is just making a fuss on an important day like this, which is disrespectful to Uncle Lu."
Hearing what Mo Yougen said, the others fell silent.
If the person involved says there’s no relation, then pressing the issue seems unfounded. However... thinking about what Mo Yougen’s wife had said, they couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
How could there be such a coincidence? Li Xue’er’s son having a birthmark exactly like Mo Yougen’s family was suspicious enough on its own.
At this point, Mo Yougen couldn’t worry about what others thought. He quickly walked over to Jin Duoduo and whispered harshly in her ear, "Hurry up and go back, don’t embarrass me anymore."
Jin Duoduo initially wanted to say something, but when she saw Mo Yougen’s expression, she couldn’t help but shiver. She never knew her husband could be so terrifying, so she instinctively nodded.
Everyone thought the matter had passed, but unexpectedly, the next day, Jiang Huirong came rushing in, storming into Mr. Lu’s place. As soon as he saw Mo Yougen, he punched him directly.
The crowd was stunned by this sudden turn of events, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.
By the time they reacted, Jiang Huirong had already swung his fist again.
"Jiang Huirong, what are you doing?"
Lu Dashan was the first to react, quickly stepping in to break up the fight.
The others also snapped out of it, holding Jiang Huirong back.
Mo Yougen, with a bruised nose and swollen face, touched his forehead with a dark expression as he glared at Jiang Huirong.
Jiang Huirong panted heavily, eyes full of hatred, as he looked at Mo Yougen and said resentfully, "Mo Yougen, how dare you fool around with that bitch Li Xue’er and have a son, only to blame me for it. You really calculated well."
Ever since Jin Duoduo burst in, revealing the leaf-shaped birthmark on his son’s back, Jiang Huirong’s world had crumbled. He thought he finally had a son, only to find out it was someone else’s, making him a cuckold.
That bitch Li Xue’er even whined and wailed claiming innocence, but when he forced them to get a blood test at the hospital, she finally panicked.
And the blood test showed that the kid wasn’t his since their blood types didn’t match at all.
Mo Yougen finally realized the situation and resented Jin Duoduo even more. If it weren’t for her words, no one would have suspected a thing.
But he was adamant about not admitting to this.
"Hai Rong, you must be mistaken. I barely talked to Li Xue’er; I don’t even know her."
Jiang Huirong sneered, "Mo Yougen, stop denying. I took both of them to the hospital for a blood test. With mine and Li Xue’er’s blood types, there’s no way we could have a kid with that blood type. So that kid is not mine, but yours."
As he said this, Jiang Huirong, full of resentment, struggled to move forward and hit Mo Yougen again.
Though the others sympathized with Jiang Huirong, this was no place for a fight, so they tried their best to hold him back.
The bystanders, however, began whispering among themselves.
"Heavens, it really is Mo Yougen’s kid. I knew there couldn’t be such a coincidence; that birthmark is clearly Mo Yougen’s family trait."
"Yes, it’s understandable why Jiang Huirong is so angry."
Another person shook their head, saying, "To be fair, Jiang Huirong is also at fault. He had his own family and kids but decided to mess around with Li Xue’er, leading to his divorce."
After hearing this, a few others couldn’t help but shake their heads.
"It’s important to live a righteous life and act with integrity. One must not lose their moral compass."
Mo Yougen heard this as well, gritting his teeth with rage, wishing he could devour Jin Duoduo alive.
It was all the doing of that troublesome wife, Jin Duoduo, otherwise no one would have suspected a thing. But he couldn’t admit to this; otherwise, how could he remain the village head?
"Jiang Huirong, even if that child isn’t yours, that doesn’t prove he’s mine. So get everything straight before you come accusing me. I’m telling you, I’m not familiar with Li Xue’er."
Seeing Mo Yougen deny it, the crowd couldn’t help but murmur among themselves.
"I can’t believe Mo Yougen is so irresponsible. I’m pretty sure that kid is his, yet he refuses to admit it."
"Yeah, it’s heartless and unjust."
Amidst the chatter, Lu Shuang emerged with a grim face, looking directly at Mo Yougen. "Mo Yougen, because of your issues, there’s been constant arguing these days. My father can’t even rest peacefully, so you’d better leave. If you want to return, make sure everything is settled first before coming back."
