CHAPTER 566: REVISED: CHAPTER 366 REGRET IS USELESS

"Bad luck? Why is our family so unlucky? Isn’t this all Zhang Dadan’s doing?" Liu Hong roared hysterically.

He was so angry and aggressive that it startled Wang Cuifen, making her take a few steps back.

Zhang Dadan looked at her, then quickly walked towards his mother’s life. "Liu Hong, you must not spit blood! What does my design framework have to do with it? And what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Hong said bravely, "You... you didn’t let our family make soy sauce. You tempted us... If it wasn’t for the soy sauce, the villagers... the villagers..."

Before he finished, Zhang Dadan interrupted and said, "I never said I wouldn’t let your family make soy sauce. Don’t put that shit pot on my head!"

However, his understatement left Liu Hong speechless. Zhang Dadan had not explicitly forbidden them from making soy sauce at home.

But none of the villagers wanted to accept them, no one wanted to join them, and even if they made soy sauce at home, they couldn’t sell it.

Why was Zhang Dadan so small-minded? But why was he so small-minded?

Because I tried to shame him by working with the boss of Juxian, if I hadn’t done that...

But if there is anything in the world, if it’s done, it’s done. Regret is useless, it’s as useless as a fart.

"You... you... you..." Liu Hong had three words for him, but he didn’t know what to say.

His mother saw that he was still dead set and unrepentant, so she whispered to him, "Hong, you must bravely admit your mistakes, beg him not to ruin us!"

These days, Liu Hong had been reflecting on himself. He realized how ridiculous his initial actions had been.

He regretted it, but what was there to regret? For him to give up his face, bow to Zhang Dadan. How could that be possible? His only pride wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing.

It was this miserable pride that drove him into blind madness, even using malicious words against his mother.

Facing the villagers’ accusations, facing his mother’s repeated persuasion, he hesitated, he was about to reach his limit. Would his mother apologize to Zhang Dadan?

If he gave up his pride and admitted to Zhang Dan, then he would relentlessly give up. Wouldn’t they be worse than a dead dog?

Seeing him quiet, seemingly thinking about something, his mother advised, "Hong, we are all from the same village. If you sincerely admit your mistakes and repent, Dadan won’t hold it against you!"

Liu Hongwen instinctively glanced at Dadan, then looked back at his mother. His persistent heart wavered even more.

Despite his mother saying harsh words, she was the person who loved him the most. How could he implicate her?

They could ignore the villagers’ opinions and even leave, but they couldn’t see clearly. But what about their mother? She would stay in this village forever.

Due to their own misconduct, the villagers had to stay away from home, even Qin Mi’s mother had no one.

His mother’s eager gaze finally softened Liu Hong, and he lowered his head for a while.

"Zhang Dadan, I did many things to you before that weren’t right. I hope you, as a bigger person, won’t remember the actions of someone so petty. Please forgive me!"

Although Zhang Dadan clearly heard his words, the neighbors around were puzzled, looking at Liu Hong.

When people saw Liu Hong’s demeanor suddenly weaken, they were very curious. Some people muttered, "What is Liu Hong saying?"

"What do you mean? Of course, it’s too big, not daring while also provoking him!" someone responded.

Liu Hong’s sudden soft acceptance left Zhang Dadan taken aback, then he found himself in a dilemma.

Although he wanted to use Liu Hong to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he wasn’t so aggressive, so he couldn’t be a petty, heartless villain.

But on the other hand, who knew if Liu Hong was genuinely remorseful, or if he was just pretending to get revenge, hiding any bad thoughts?

"Liu Hong, did I do something wrong? Are you buttering me up?" Zhang Dadan asked, looking at Liu Hong.

Without waiting for Liu Hong to respond, his mother interrupted and said, "Dadan, Hong really knows he was wrong. He’s been reflecting at home for two days, saying he’s done many wrong things.

His mother’s words immediately caused a stir among the onlookers, everyone staring at him.

Did he really confuse Zhang Dadan? How could that be! He just stopped his mother from making a mistake, now he suddenly softened.

Furthermore, even when Zhang Dadan helped Liu Hong with the snake bite, Liu Hong didn’t sincerely regret it. Would he restart now?

While everyone was stunned and puzzled, Liu Hong said, "Zhang Dadan, I was wrong. I apologize for what happened before."

Was he... was he really apologizing? What was happening now? Everything was too sudden.

Zhang Dadan and Liu Hong looked at each other, seeing that although his eyes were unwilling, there was no cunning. He couldn’t help but be a little shaken.

The Rural Development! If you want to be a bad person, can’t you go all the way? How can you try to stop midway?

Zhang Dadan saw everyone staring at him, but he remained silent. What should he do? Forgive? Not forgive?

"Liu Hong, when your mother just apologized to me, didn’t you try to stop her? How suddenly were you exposed?" Zhang Dadan questioned.

His inquiry was in front of the onlookers, and the crowd turned their eyes to Liu Hong, waiting to see how he would explain.

Liu Hong looked back at his mother, then lowered his head again, replying sullenly, "I did something I’m sorry for you. It has nothing to do with my mom!"

He meant that when a person works alone, he couldn’t bear to let his mother apologize for it.

"Alright. I forgive you! Let him go." Zhang Dadan stood for a long time.

When they heard these words, the surrounding villagers were even more surprised. They never expected Zhang Dadan to forgive Liu Hong so easily. You know, Liu Hongfei not only secretly did bad things, but also competed with Zhang Dadan for wild mushrooms, even reporting the chicken farm!

This was Zhang Dadan’s iron-hearted attempt to place him in perpetual disaster, precisely why we avoided Liu Hong’s house, but would Zhang Dadan be so aboveboard?

Just as everyone was expressing bold thoughts, Liu Hong was very greedy. "Can you let my mother make soy sauce with everyone?"

Without waiting for Dadan’s response, Wang Cuifen said, "Liu Hong, what do you mean? We didn’t stop you from making soy sauce!"

Liu Hong’s mother came to apologize and beg for Zhang Dadan’s forgiveness, unable to make soy sauce. The small benefit, she just couldn’t bear her son being ostracized, not wanting to be seen as a plague to everyone.

"Hong, people have already generously forgiven you. Why are you still not satisfied?" Liu Hong’s mother gently guided her son.

But Liu Hongwang was far more profound than her in understanding that Zhang Dadan’s words of forgiveness had no impact at all. Only actions carried weight.

Only when Zhang Dadan relaxed and allowed his family to make soy sauce with the villagers would they believe Zhang Dadan had truly forgiven him and accept his mother again.

"Zhang... Dadan, I’m not being greedy. I think you should know my concern." Liu Hong spoke sadly.

Zhang Dadan hesitated for a long time but still couldn’t give a definitive answer. Once Liu Hong was truly accepted again, wouldn’t the village fools no longer fear him?

Seeing him hesitating, Liu Hong was about to vote in despair, but heard Zhang Dadan say, "Liu Hong, come with me..."
