Sure enough, when Qin heard that it was Chen Erlang who said it, he immediately concluded that Chen Lang was deliberately spreading rumors.

"Qin An, Qin An, what can I say about you?"

"Chen Erlang is a man who has severed all ties with us. He hates our family to death and wishes us all bad luck."

"He said this just to throw dirty water on Xiao Xia and make the villagers mistakenly think she is a fickle woman, right?"

"How could you follow him and fool around like that?"

Qin An thought, Sister, you said it the wrong way, didn’t you?

Chen Lang is busy making money now, so he doesn't have time to hate you.

But you are the ones who are hoping that Chen Lang will get into trouble day and night.

Even if Chen Lang's claim of seeing Chen Xia in the county town was a lie, then Chen Xia looking at that picture album must be true, right? How could an unmarried girl like her hide in her room looking at such things?

Even if you want to learn these things, you have to wait until a few days before the wedding.

Learning these things now means that her mind has become wild and aroused, and she can't wait to taste the taste of that thing.

And is there any need to guess who did that kind of thing with her?

The answer is obvious.

Qin An really didn't want to explain, so he said, "Sister, you can think whatever you want. Anyway, I have done my best to remind you, brother. If anything happens later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Chen Xia, who was in the room, also ran out at this moment and said, "Uncle, I was learning etiquette from the eldest lady in the county town and was doing well. You insisted on sending me back, saying that a country girl only needed to learn a little and there was no need to learn so much."

"I won't bother with you about this matter, but because of what that bastard Chen Erlang said, you come here to ruin my reputation. What are you thinking?"

"Are you doing this because you're worried that I'm too close to the eldest lady and it will be difficult to discipline me in the future?"

These words almost made Qin An faint from anger.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. You and your family are all right." Qin An said with a sullen face, "I won't come to this house anymore!"

After that, he rolled his sleeves and left.

Chen Xia looked at Qin An's back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Uncle, please don't hate me. Who told you not to let me be with Xiaoliu?"

……

Qin An was not in a hurry to return to the county town, but came to Chen Lang's house.

Seeing Qin An's face turn pale, Chen Lang guessed that he must not have gotten along well with Old Chen's family.

But this is also normal, the Chen family is a group of weirdos.

Not to mention that nothing has happened to Chen Xia now, even if something happens in the future, the people in the Chen family will not look for the reason in themselves, and will most likely vent their anger on Qin An.

"Uncle, don't be angry, sit down and have a glass of water." Chen Lang brought a stool and asked Qin An to sit down and rest.

Qin An took the water cup and said, "This Ni'er wasn't like this when she was little. How come she learned some rules but ended up with bad habits?"

"The eldest lady was so good to her, yet she actually made up rumors about her."

"If the young lady knew about this, I wouldn't be able to face her anymore."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Uncle, you haven't had much contact with Chen Xia. In fact, she has had this personality since she was a child."

"A sophisticated egoist."

Qin An was stunned for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "A sophisticated egoist? Erlang, you used that word so brilliantly."

Chen Lang said, "Uncle, you're joking."

Qin An took a sip of water and sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about them. I've done what I should have done anyway. If anything happens in the future, let my sister and her family regret it themselves."

"I'm going back."

Chen Lang quickly grabbed him and said, "Uncle, you've come all the way here, how can I let you go back with an empty stomach?"

"Eat your meal first, then leave. I'll take you back in a bullock cart later."

Qin An thought for a moment and said, "Alright, it's a good opportunity for me to try your cooking. The dishes at Tianshangju are quite expensive, and my uncle's salary is meager, so I can only eat there two or three times a month."

Chen Lang said: "I promise to make sure you, uncle, have a satisfying meal today."

Qin An said, "By the way, I saw you bought some writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. So, are you thinking about taking the college entrance exam again?"

Chen Lang shook his head. "No, I've given up hope of passing the exam. I bought these for Xiuzhi and her daughter, as well as for my apprentice. I want to teach them some culture."

Qin An nodded approvingly: "Well, that's a good idea. Now that your business is gradually expanding, it will be helpful for you to let Xiuzhi learn arithmetic."

"Guoguo should also learn some culture and not end up like Chen Xia, who has no knowledge at all and is full of bad people."

"I happen to have some enlightenment reading materials at home. I'll ask someone to send them to you later."

Chen Lang said, "Thank you very much. I have sold all my books. The ones I use now are all compiled by myself."

Qin An said, "I have nothing to do anyway. Bring me your writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I'll copy some articles for you to help you teach."

Chen Lang hurriedly called the three little girls over, so that Qin An could copy the article while also teaching them to read, killing two birds with one stone.

More than an hour later, Li Xiuzhi invited everyone to dinner.

Sun Yuwei also happened to come to pick Cuicui up at this time.

Chen Lang asked him to stay for dinner, but Sun Yuwei refused no matter what. Chen Lang compromised and asked him to let Cuicui stay.

"It's normal for an apprentice to eat at his teacher's house," said Chen Lang.

Sun Yuwei had no choice but to let go of Cuicui's hand and told her to be obedient and go home after dinner.

After everyone had a hearty meal, Chen Lang drove the ox cart to take Qin An back to the county town.

When he arrived at the city gate, Chen Lang did not go in because he was worried that he would not have enough time to leave the city.

"Uncle, please give this package of braised beef to Doctor Xu in Pingzhilin." Chen Lang handed Qin An two oil-paper bags. "The other one is for you. Braised beef is the best with wine. But uncle, you're home alone, so don't drink too much. Otherwise, if you get drunk, there'll be no one to take care of you."

Qin An said, "I still have the raw beef you gave me at home. I can just braise it myself. It won't look good if I use yours."

Chen Lang put the oil-paper bag into Qin An's hand without hesitation and said, "Uncle, I have a whole cow, so this is not a big deal."

"Besides, the taste of my braised beef and yours is quite different."

Qin An pointed at Chen Lang's nose and scolded him with a smile: "You kid, you're making fun of your uncle."

"But you're right. Cooking is definitely not my strong point. I'll gladly accept this package of braised beef."

Chen Lang said, "My uncle likes it. I'll bring you some in a few days."

Qin An said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back quickly, otherwise the sun will go down and we won't be able to see the road clearly."

Chen Lang waved goodbye to Qin An and hurried home.

After returning home with a bulging stomach, Chen Lang saw Li Xiuzhi and said with a fiery look in his eyes, "My dear, let's learn some culture tonight!"
