My 1995 Small Farm.

When Chen Ling brought Wang Susu to the county town, it was already past four in the afternoon, close to five.

After the New Year, the days tend to get longer, but in the mountains, it gets slightly dark at this time of year.

Wang Susu was holding her breath the whole way, heading straight for a fight with Qin Qiumei's in-laws.

However, when they arrived, Qin Qiumei's parents-in-law, who had just seen off their relatives, saw Chen Ling and his wife arrive in their car.

Wang Susu, with a cold face, held the child, giving off an impression that strangers should stay away.

The two shrewd old men knew perfectly well that something was wrong.

Old people are cunning, and old horses are slippery.

The two old men were only stunned for a moment, but when they saw each other, they quickly greeted each other with smiles.

“Oh dear, Fugui, Susu, why didn’t you come sooner? His aunt came at noon and laid out a table full of delicious dishes, including the wild boar and venison you gave me.”

"How can you talk like that, old woman? It's alright if Fugui is late. I'll prepare a table full of good wine and food tonight. Fugui is an outsider, so he can have plenty of good wine and food whenever he comes."

The two old guys were working in perfect harmony.

There was absolutely no difference between her and usual appearance.

But this time, Chen Ling felt a sudden, inexplicable disgust.

That's just how he is.

Previously, he thought that was how the older generation in the countryside were. He was familiar with human nature and knew the obsession people had with carrying on the family line.

He had also heard of a rural area in a coastal province in the south, which was already quite enlightened in later times.

Moreover, it's a developed province or region.

If a daughter marries and cannot give birth to a son, the groom is allowed to annul the engagement.

A woman who is jilted will feel ashamed even in her own family home.

At the time, Chen Ling was deeply shocked.

Therefore, compared to Yang Jianzhong's parents, the two in the Yang family don't seem to have gone too far.

but.

Now that he's here, these two old guys clearly know what's going on; they're perfectly aware of it, yet they're still pretending.

They play the "you can't hit a smiling face" game.

They only talked about how things would be during the Lunar New Year.

This made it seem like whenever Chen Ling and his wife argued, it was as if the two of them were at fault.

Don't be fooled by later generations' jokes like "It's the New Year" or "Since we're already here."

In fact, in the countryside, people still only recognize this as "the New Year".

This simple sentence seems to allow one side to stand on the moral high ground.

So this is what happened.

Chen Ling frowned.

He had previously thought the two elderly people were very kind and understanding.

Back then, Wei Jun fabricated rumors about him and Qin Qiumei, among others.

The elderly couple were quite open-minded, saying they knew what kind of person Chen Ling was and didn't take him seriously at all.

Looking back now.

It's not that I didn't take it to heart at all.

This clearly shows complete indifference and disregard.

Their son found a rich woman in Shenzhen, had a son with her, and will never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life, and his family line will continue.

Naturally, he no longer cared about Qin Qiumei, his daughter-in-law.

……

With that in mind, we've figured out the psychology of those two old guys all at once.

Chen Ling decided not to be polite with them.

He immediately stretched out his hand and blocked the two old men from continuing their conversation.

"Okay, stop."

"Is Qiu Mei here? I need to talk to her about something in person."

Chen Ling's words were direct and blunt.

The two old men froze, unable to utter a single word.

People say that Chen Ling is cursed.

It has to be said that he had a stern face, looking like he was ready to tear off all pretenses and show no mercy.

It's really frightening.

The two old men were also a little scared, knowing that if Chen Ling acted recklessly, he wouldn't care if you were old or young, male or female; he could break an arm or a leg without hesitation.

Wang Juxiang, his mother, and his two uncles are living examples. Furthermore, Chen Ling recently single-handedly wiped out an entire wolf pack.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such a fierce person, filled with anger?

"Wealth, riches..."

The two old men were terrified, their eyes filled with panic, and they even had the urge to beg for mercy.

"Stop talking nonsense and call Qiu Mei out. I don't want to come into your house."

Chen Ling frowned, his imposing aura quite intimidating.

His outburst calmed Wang Susu down a bit.

On the contrary, they were afraid that Chen Ling would scare the two old guys to death.

Fortunately, Qin Qiumei heard the noise and came out on her own.

"What's wrong, Fugui? I heard you shouting in the outhouse. Who upset you? Why are you so angry during the New Year?"

As Qin Qiumei walked towards the door, she asked with concern.

Since it was the New Year, Qin Qiumei dressed up even more beautifully than usual.

He just looked noticeably haggard.

Anyone who's been through it can tell at a glance that she has something on her mind.

"Am I angry? What do I have to be angry about?"

Chen Ling replied with a cold expression.

"Sister Qiumei~!"

When Wang Susu saw Qin Qiumei, it was clearly none of her business, but the moment she saw Qin Qiumei come out and her haggard face, she was struck by her appearance.

Wang Susu couldn't help but get teary-eyed and start to shed tears.

"Susu! What's wrong with you!"

Qin Qiumei cried out in surprise and rushed over, ignoring the baby Wang Susu was holding, and hugged the mother and child tightly.

He glared at Chen Ling through gritted teeth and said, "Did Fugui upset you?"

"No, it's not."

With tears streaming down her face, Wang Susu held Qin Qiumei's hand tightly, feeling somewhat unable to speak.

She genuinely felt sorry for Qin Qiumei, who had been deceived for so long.

She was cheated by her husband and in-laws for several years.

At this moment, Chen Ling still spoke with a cold face: "My family is fine, it's Yang Jianzhong's problem."

Chen Ling was also helpless about the fact that women cry so easily.

Their ability to empathize and connect is inexplicably strong.

"what?"

Qin Qiumei was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned deathly pale.

He stood there, stunned, not daring to speak.

When her in-laws heard that Chen Ling had indeed told them this, they adopted a confrontational attitude.

The two of them first gave an awkward laugh, but the next second they could no longer fake a smile, their faces filled with terror and fear.

In a panic, Yang Jianzhong's mother tried to call for help, but the old man next to her quickly stopped her, covering her mouth, afraid of angering Chen Ling.

Why is Chen Ling acting so recklessly? They used to listen to him all the time, but now they don't.

If someone provokes you or someone you hate, you don't care how many people are around; you'll just throw a punch.

It's as easy as hunting wolves and leopards in the mountains.

The elderly couple now have a grandson, and their son is doing well in the south. If he loses an arm or a leg, or is crippled or half-dead by Chen Ling, what will happen?

That would be far too much of a loss.

"Fugui, let's talk this out. Let's talk this out. Our family has never mistreated Qiumei in the past few years."

The old man spoke hastily, not daring to argue, only trying to make amends by saying that Qin Qiumei hadn't suffered any injustice.

"Don't give me that. You all know what kind of person I am. I value sincerity in making friends. If you try to play dirty tricks or schemes on us, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Chen Ling waved his hand: "Su Su can't bring herself to talk about Yang Jianzhong's matter. You two should talk to Qiu Mei yourselves. Let me make this clear from the start: I have connections in Shenzhen, and I've already found out everything I needed to."

Don't try to fool me or think you can get away with it.

"Fugui, Jianzhongzhen..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiumei realized that some of her suspicions had come true.

Su Su's tears and Chen Ling's anger were both meant to vent her anger. (End of Chapter)
