Farming and reading family

Gao E's words made Lei think for a long time, and Gao E didn't care what she suddenly thought of.

Suddenly, Lei said seriously, "Should we invite a high-ranking monk to come and determine the cause and effect relationship between us and Chen Fancai's family?"

Gao E couldn't underestimate the peculiar way of thinking of Lei Shi: "Let's just keep this matter to ourselves. We don't know whether that family is alive or dead now. Dad must still feel guilty."

Lei felt helpless when she thought about it: "What if they come back this time?"

Gao E hasn’t made up her mind yet.

When Chen Qing and his friends arrived at the clinic, they found out that the two elders had already gone to the government office.

As soon as Qin left today, Jiang became more and more angry. It was clearly their family's money that was stolen, and they were beaten by the Qian family, so she went to report it to the authorities.

She felt that she was definitely right this time, and since his family had a good relationship with the county magistrate, he would definitely make the decision for her.

He Tangchun was helpless after hearing the whole story. How could the Chen family have such a mistress? The family could not expect a peaceful life.

He was wondering whether to invite someone from the Chen family, but then he thought that if something like this happened, the Chen family would probably come themselves, so he left Jiang alone for the time being.

It was already afternoon when Chen Qing and his men arrived at the yamen. Jiang had not eaten yet and the wounds on her body were still painful. She burst into tears when she saw her three sons.

Seeing his mother was beaten black and blue, Chen Jie wanted to go to Qian Gaosheng to settle the score, but was stopped by Chen Ka.

"Second brother, look at what they did to mom." Chen Jie was angry.

Although he felt that his mother was sometimes unreasonable, he would definitely be angry when he saw her being beaten like this.

"Let your second brother go to Lord He to find out what's going on first." Chen Qing also stopped Chen Jie.

"You must ask about our family's silver." Jiang immediately said, "That little bitch Chen Rongxiu, your father took her in out of kindness, but she actually stole from our family."

When Chen Ke heard his mother say this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing he didn't bring Chen Rongxiu back with him. What if she robbed his house...

"You go and ask first." Chen Qing quickly asked his second brother to leave first.

Chen Ke nodded and turned to leave.

Jiang started to accuse their father of beating her because of Chen Rongxiu...

He Tangchun didn't expect that it was Chen Ke who came, but he understood immediately.

The last time Jiang from the Chen family made trouble at the government office, Gao E came and said she would handle it impartially. It seemed that Gao E didn't want to care about her as a mother-in-law, and she would try to avoid her as long as she didn't meet her directly.

"My name is Chen Ke, and I'm honored to meet you, Lord He." Chen Ke saluted.

"Mr. Chen is here for your mother's matter, right?" He Tangchun asked directly.

"Yes." Chen Ke felt uncomfortable being embarrassed after hearing Lord He speak so directly.

"Then I'll be frank. It was indeed wrong for Qian Gaosheng to beat someone, and I can punish him. But your parents secretly hid someone else's wife and let her run away with someone else. How do you explain this?" He Tangchun asked directly.

Chen Ke was terrified: "Your Excellency, please understand. My family is also a victim. We don't know who is looking for Chen Rongxiu. Besides, we are also victims. Chen Rongxiu stole our money and ran away."

"Then let's talk about whether it is true that your parents secretly hid Qian Gaosheng's wife." He Tangchun did not say anything to Chen Keduo.

Chen Ke was speechless.

He Tangchun found it boring. If Gao E were here, she would definitely say that Chen Rongxiu was visiting her relatives and there was no way she was hiding anything.

"So this matter is very difficult for me. If Qian Gaosheng is punished, your Chen family will have to return Qian Gaosheng's wife." He Tangchun spread his hands.

Chen Ke looked embarrassed. Where could they find Chen Rongxiu at this time?

"So I suggest you settle this privately." He Tangchun said directly, "Now Qian Gaosheng is saying that your parents are hiding Chen Rongxiu. If you push him hard enough, he can say that your parents abducted and sold Chen Rongxiu. Anyway, Chen Rongxiu can't be found now, so whatever he says is the truth. Your parents are so old..."

"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Chen Ke said hurriedly.

He Tangchun felt that Chen Ke was too easy to fool. No wonder Gao Shi was able to stay calm without telling him about so many things. "It would be best if you could figure it out. Go back and discuss it with your family."

Chen Ke left with many thanks.

He Tangchun was increasingly confused as to why Gao E fell for such a man.

Chen Ke went to the front and told his elder brother and the others about what happened. Chen Qing's expression was solemn. Although Chen Jie looked indignant, he didn't say anything.

"What do you mean?" Jiang was unwilling. "You mean we can't get our money back?"

"Let's go home first." Chen Ke suggested.

"No, I won't go home unless I get the money back. If the county magistrate doesn't help me, I will kill myself in front of the county government office." Jiang said stubbornly.

That was more than ten taels of silver, which she had saved by living frugally. How could it be gone just like that?

Chen Ke looked at his elder brother helplessly.

Chen Qing hadn't expected things to turn out this way: "Then prepare yourselves, Dad and Mom. If Qian Gaosheng really accuses our family of trafficking women, my second brother won't have to take the imperial examinations anymore, and you and Dad might be exiled."

"What?" Jiang was incredulous. "Who kidnapped Chen Rongxiu? She's the one who's begging and refusing to leave our house."

"Apart from our family, who else can testify?" Chen Qing spread his hands.

Jiang hesitated to speak. She felt it was shameful and didn't tell anyone.

The three Chen brothers were helpless.

"Qin can testify." Jiang said suddenly.

"Qin is my second brother's wife's servant and cannot testify," Chen Qing explained.

"Why not?" Jiang was unwilling. "I don't care anyway. Qian Gaosheng must return the money to our family."

"I paid for it." Chen Ke said speechlessly.

"What do you mean you paid? Your money is not our family's money." Jiang glared at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke felt a little suffocated. He had never felt that his mother would make him so suffocated before, so he had no choice but to look at his eldest brother.

Chen Qing felt that it was useless to reason with his mother: "Since mother thinks we can't handle this matter, let's go see father and then go home." He said and left.

Chen Jie looked at his second brother: Just leaving like that?

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, bowed, and followed his elder brother.

When Chen Jie saw that his eldest and second brothers had left, he turned around and ran, even running ahead of his second brother.

Jiang stood there in a daze. She thought that her sons would come and give her whatever she wanted, but they just left like that?

He was so angry and hungry at the same time that his eyes went dark and he fainted.

The three people heard the noise, turned around and ran back in a hurry.

Seeing that his mother had really fainted, Chen Qing hurriedly carried her on his back and ran out.

When she arrived at the clinic, she received two injections and drank a bowl of brown sugar water. Then she was prescribed a few tonics. When she heard that it would cost three taels of silver, Jiang almost fainted again.

No matter what, the three Chen brothers carried their mother back home this time, but their father was not at home.

"Could Dad have returned to the village?" Chen Jie guessed.

"Impossible." Chen Qing was sure.

His father is a very face-conscious person, and after something like this happened, it is impossible for him to go back at this time.

"Then let's go look for it?" Chen Ke looked at the sky and felt that he might not be able to go back tonight.

Chen Jie thought that since He County was so big and they were unfamiliar with it, where could he find Dad? "Mom, where does Dad usually go?"
