On the other side, Chen Shu had already picked up Chen Gen, and after leaving the yamen, he found an ox cart to put Chen Gen on.

Twenty lashes of cane were no joke. At this point, Chen Gen's buttocks and legs were already covered in blood.

Chen Gen cried out in a particularly tragic voice, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Chen Shu covered half of his face with his sleeves and said unhappily, "Brother, please stop shouting and just bear with it. I feel embarrassed with so many people watching!

You said you were the same. You were not studying in the academy at this time. How did you go to the government office for falsely accusing someone? It was a false accusation, but how did someone catch it and report it to the government?

No one in the village has ever been to this place. If people knew about this, would our family lose face?"

Chen Shu was only called by Chen Ping to pick up Chen Gen. When he arrived at the yamen, the officer only said that Chen Gen got into trouble because he framed others.

He just didn't understand. After all, Chen Gen was a scholar, so why was he so careless in doing things?

Wasn't it just that he was beaten with twenty sticks? As for shouting like that, so loudly, is it glorious? He was pointed at and criticized by others, and couldn't even raise his head.

Chen Gen's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He became even colder when he heard Chen Shu's complaints. However, he was in so much pain at the moment that he had no intention of arguing with Chen Shu.

He said with a faint breath: "It hurts, let's go to the clinic..."

Chen Shu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, please bear with it for now. The county hospital is very expensive, and I was fined two taels just now.

All the money in the family has been spent on you, so there is no money left. Save as much as you can and wait until you get to the town."

It’s so far from the county town to the village, is it free to use a ox cart?

The more Chen Shu looked at Chen Gen, the more he disliked him. They were obviously both the child of the family, but why did he have to work at such a young age to support his older brother's studies?

When they were young, both of them were sent to school. However, the elder brother did not finish his studies because the teacher said that he was smarter. Who could have afforded to support only one of them?

However, his parents said that they were brothers, and no matter who became successful, the other would have a backer. Only then did the reluctance in his heart disappear, and he was at ease to support his elder brother.

But his elder brother hasn't made any progress over the years except for gaining weight. He even suspects that the teacher made a mistake in his judgment.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu suddenly realized a serious problem, "Brother, now that you have entered the government, I am afraid that you can't study anymore!"

Chen Gen was not at all panicked when being questioned, and was even very angry.

Even after he was beaten like this, his own brother was indifferent and was still very stingy with his spending. Now he even asked about his studies!

Study, study! The whole family only wants him to study. Who knows how hard it is to study? Aren’t they just thinking that he will benefit from it when he succeeds?

Chen Gen cursed Chen Shu hundreds of times in his heart for wanting to take advantage without paying anything in return, but he was in so much pain that he was too weak to speak.

When Chen Shu saw Chen Gen's look, he felt heavy in his heart. He was afraid that his money was wasted.

This money is enough for him to marry several wives!

Chen Shu really wanted to ask clearly, but this was on the street, with people coming and going, and who knows who might know him. He was a respectable clerk working in Jinxiu Pavilion and he couldn't lose face here.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when we get home!

Chen Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, drive faster!"

Since nothing can be obtained from the question, let Chen Gen suffer a little.

The ox cart was not moving fast, but when the man pulled the reins, the speed increased a little, and the bumpy feeling became even worse.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!" Chen Gen was thrown into a grimacing, screaming, and feeling extremely angry.

This is his own brother, a ruthless person. When he gets better, he will definitely give him a good beating!

When they arrived in the town, Chen Shu found the smallest-looking clinic, parked his ox cart in front of the door, and called for the doctor to come out and see the patient.

The doctor didn't think much about it and just pulled down Chen Gen's pants in the street and started to examine him. Since he was beaten so badly and there was blood all over the place, there was nothing he shouldn't see.

"It's a bit serious, but he's strong and should be able to recover easily. Come in and I'll prescribe some medicine for you."

Chen Shu went to the clinic and asked the doctor to prescribe the cheapest medicine.

He doesn’t look like a poor man by the way he’s dressed, so why is he so reluctant to spend some money on medicine?

The doctor was puzzled but didn't say anything. In their line of work, they had to keep their mouths shut.

Chen Shu took out the medicine and saw that there were already four or five people surrounding the ox cart, looking at Chen Gen's butt and laughing with their hands covering their mouths.

The coachman covered his face with his hands and sighed that he had lost face. He had been driving for so many years and had never encountered such a thing. It was really an experience that broadened his horizons.

Chen Shu ignored Chen Gen's screams, pulled up his pants and shouted to leave.

"You, you did a great job of embarrassing me outside!"

Chen Gen rested for a while, the pain eased a little, and he even had the strength to speak. He knew that Chen Shu had definitely done it on purpose just now, just to humiliate him.

Sure enough, seeing that he could not be relied on, he treated his elder brother like this. He finally saw clearly that all his previous flattery was just pretense.

Chen Shu glared at me, "Brother, don't you know how heavy you are? How can I move you? What if I hurt you and you keep screaming? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Chen Gen was a fat man, twice as big as himself. He had to ask the officials to help carry him out of the yamen just now. If it were him alone, he would have been crushed to death.

Chen Gen gnashed his teeth in anger, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to close his eyes and keep silent. He would talk about everything after he got better.

Not only Chen Shu, but also his vicious second uncle's family, he will definitely settle accounts!

As luck would have it, not long after the ox cart left the town, the two brothers ran into Cheng Yue and his friends.

Chen Shu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. Was that his limp second aunt? Why were there two money-losing people following her, and even Zhang Shaowen?

Not only has his appearance changed a lot, he is also wearing new clothes and riding in a ox cart. What is going on?

Chen Shu stretched his neck and looked forward. Wasn’t that his second uncle and Hanzi?

Didn't his second uncle's leg break? How could he catch the ox cart by himself?

That’s not right. Where did the ox cart come from?

But it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he can save some money on car fare.

Chen Shu asked the man to drive the ox cart to the side of Cheng Yue and the others, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "Stop, take us back!"

Chen An and Chen Lin were driving the carriage facing forward, while Cheng Yue, Zhang Shaowen and the two sisters were facing backward. They had already seen Chen Shu and knew at a glance that this was the way to bring Chen Gen back.

They didn't want to care about it, but Chen Shu insisted on walking into the gunpoint. He and Chen Gen are indeed brothers.

Cheng Yue was too lazy to say more, and only sneered: "If you have a brain disease, go get treatment."

Chen An looked back and immediately raised the reins, not even wanting to roll his eyes at Chen Shu.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

Like Chen Gen, Chen Shu never took Chen An's family seriously under the education of Zhao and Chen Ping.

Cheng Yue always treated him with great kindness and treated him like her own son, but now she actually dared to mock him like this?
