Chen An waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Come and sit down, and eat together."

How can you eat while letting your children go hungry?

Zhang Shaowen didn't know whether to leave or stay, and he stammered, "This food is too good. I've already received my wages, so I can't eat anymore."

Anyway, he would be going home soon and only had two meals at home, so he was not so hungry that he couldn't stand it.

Cheng Yue urged with a smile: "Work is work, and eating is eating. I've already made your portion. Come and eat with us. After eating, we'll go home quickly."

How much food can a child eat? She is not so stingy as to not care about other people’s eating. Her family has to eat anyway, so it’s just a matter of using an extra pair of chopsticks.

Chen Lin pushed Zhang Shaowen to his seat and said with a chuckle, "Let's eat together!"

Chen Lin used to be laughed at as a fool and never dared to talk to anyone, so he didn't have many friends in the village.

After spending half a day with Zhang Shaowen, he has become much more familiar with him. Besides, when Chen Gen scolded him just now, he still protected himself.

Chen Lin already regards Zhang Shaowen as a friend.

Chen Tong and Chen Ning said proudly: "Brother Shao Wen, my mother's cooking is delicious. You can't taste such cooking skills anywhere else. Come and try it!"

Zhang Shaowen swallowed his saliva. How could he not know that Aunt Cheng Yue’s cooking was delicious?

He ate the chicken that Aunt Cheng Yue brought over at first, and he also tasted the braised food that his grandfather brought back later.

Even my father and my second uncle said how delicious the scallion pancakes, egg soup and noodles made by Aunt Cheng Yue were.

Cheng Yue smiled indulgently at the two girls, "Show off!"

Then he served a bowl of rice to Zhang Shaowen, "Here, serve it. These are all home-cooked dishes. Eat quickly."

Eggplant with minced meat, loofah and egg soup, cold bean curd, fried meat with black fungus, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage with lard are indeed home-cooked dishes in Cheng Yue's opinion.

"Thank you, thank you, auntie!"

Zhang Shaowen was holding the white rice in his hand, his heart trembling. Aunt Cheng Yue called this a home-cooked meal?

Whose home-cooked meal is white rice with meat?

Chen Lin was eating so happily that he was afraid that the sound of his swallowing would be too loud. Never mind, he would stop being pretentious and would just eat if everyone told him to!

After taking a sip, his eyes lit up, and even the bad mood that Chen Gen had just brought up was swept away.

Zhang Shaowen took a deep breath and resisted the urge to eat crazily.

His mother often said, "You little brat, you're going to go bankrupt. Such delicious food, if you can't control your appetite, how much money will it cost you to finish it?"

Chen Lin was eating noisily and had already ordered a second bowl of rice. Zhang Shaowen was still holding the bowl he had just finished and chewing slowly.

Cheng Yue knew that he couldn't let go, so she scooped a spoonful of rice into his bowl. Zhang Shaowen almost burst into tears at this moment.

But the next moment he wanted to burst into tears even more, because Chen Lin comforted him: "Brother Shao Wen, eat more, you won't be sad when you are full.

Chen Gen has called me a fool since I was a child, but I am not stupid. It shows that what he said is all false. He said you are a thief, and he must have done it on purpose. We don't believe it. You don't have to care about him!"

Zhang Shaowen's hands trembled and he almost dropped the bowl. He quickly looked at everyone, fearing that he would be misunderstood, and explained in a panic, "I'm really not a thief. I didn't steal anything..."

Chen An and Cheng Yue looked at each other. What Chen Gen said? How could it be true?

They knew clearly what Zhang Shaowen was like, but they didn't know why Chen Gen said that.

Could it be that he dropped out of school because of this?

If Zhang Shaowen hadn't said it, they wouldn't have known about it. Now that they know about it, they can't just ignore it, lest the child feel misunderstood and feel bad.

Cheng Yue asked with concern: "Shao Wen, we all believe you, but why did Chen Gen say that? What happened before? Can you tell me?"

Zhang Shaowen saw that everyone had a concerned expression on their faces and did not doubt him or look down on him, and he suddenly felt very aggrieved.

He had never told his family about this and had kept it in his heart for a long time.

He always thought that things would fade away over time, but this matter was still like a thorn in his heart, so much so that he felt afraid whenever he saw Chen Gen.

But now that he is working with Aunt Cheng Yue, he must do it cleanly and honestly. He can't let Chen Gen ruin him again.

Zhang Shaowen put down his bowl and chopsticks, bit his lip and said, "I really didn't steal anything, it was Chen Gen who framed me.

We were studying together at the time, and Chen Gen often bullied me. I thought we were from the same village, so I just endured it and didn't want to argue with him.

But since the teacher often praised me for my intelligence, he became more and more difficult for me, and even teamed up with others to bully me, laugh at me, and say bad things about me.

Later, on one occasion, Chen Gen told the teacher that he had lost a brush and insisted on searching everywhere, so the teacher had to do as he was told.

Finally, the brush was found, right under the cushion where I was sitting. Chen Gen cried and made a fuss, saying that he would make me drop out of school, and even reported me to the government if I didn't.

No one believed my explanation at all. The teacher was very disappointed in me and was afraid that I would affect the reputation of the school, so I had to drop out.

On the day I dropped out of school, Chen Gen found me and I realized that he had deliberately framed me!

He told me that he just couldn't stand the fact that I was better than him. Even though my grandfather was the head of the village, we were still peasants.

He also warned me that if I said anything wrong, my grandfather would lose his job as village chief and our whole family would not be able to hold our heads up high. "

After Zhang Shaowen finished speaking, he started to cry, and Chen Lin, Chen Tong and Chen Ning also started to cry.

They felt aggrieved just by listening to it, not to mention that Zhang Shaowen had been holding it in his heart for so many years.

Chen An's face was gloomy. "I always thought Chen Gen was spoiled and ignorant, but I never thought he could do such a thing!"

He felt ashamed when he thought of Chen Gen as his nephew. Fortunately, the family was separated and now he just had to wait to sever the relationship. Otherwise, who knows what this bad guy might do, and it would be bad if it implicated the three children.

After hearing this, Cheng Yue felt angry and distressed because she could relate to the other person.

When she was a child, she was bullied by her classmates because of her good grades. Even if she dared to fight back, she only prevented the bullies from becoming more arrogant.

Although she was not physically bullied, she was subjected to rumors and isolation, which is a more terrifying form of mental bullying.

When she was a child, she couldn't understand why everyone bullied her.

Only when I grew up did I understand that some people just can't stand others being better than themselves, and they are jealous of you and want to destroy you.

Zhang Shaowen has been keeping silent, which only made Chen Gen think that he is easy to bully. No wonder he became even more aggressive.

Chen Gen is a bad guy who really opens our eyes. Not only does he direct and act out the frame-up, he also knows how to threaten others with the things they care about most.

The headman's family is kind and fair. If this matter is made public, it will only hurt their reputation. No wonder Zhang Shaowen didn't dare to tell his family.

Since when did good character become an excuse for being taken advantage of by bad people? How ridiculous!

Chen Lin said bitterly: "He is so bad! Brother Shao Wen, we all believe in you, don't worry, Chen Gen will definitely get his comeuppance!"

Here, Cheng Yue and the others were gently comforting Zhang Shaowen, while on the other side, Chen Gen had returned to the academy and was speaking ill of Cheng's braised food.
