Farming and reading family

When Jiang heard Chen Jie ask this, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She didn't know where Chen Fansheng would go. He never told her when he went out. Occasionally, she would see him coming back with a bottle of wine.

"Your father may have gone to buy some wine." Jiang guessed.

"Then sister-in-law, please take care of mother, and we will go find father." Chen Ke bowed and took Chen Jie out.

Chen Jie walked out, hands on his hips, helpless: "How many taverns are there in He County?"

"Let's look for the one nearby first." Chen Ke suggested.

"Then let's look for them separately." Chen Jie suggested.

"Okay." Chen Ke said and chose a direction.

Chen Jie was not in a hurry to look for him. Seeing his elder brother walking away, he chose another direction.

He couldn't swallow the humiliation of having his parents beaten, and since filing a complaint with the authorities didn't work, he resorted to some underhanded tactics.

When Chen Jie found Lu Hao, Lu Hao was humming a little tune while brushing his horse. He was startled when he saw Chen Jie.

"Brother Chen San." Lu Hao was speechless. "If you scare someone, they'll scare them to death."

Chen Jie looked at the horse that Lu Hao had brushed: "Did my second sister-in-law give it to you?"

"Let me take care of it." Lu Hao and Chen Jie were trying to get close to him, probably unaware of what happened yesterday. "Tell me if you need it someday that would be convenient."

Chen Jie nodded: "You are living well now that you are not at my house."

"Who am I, Lu Hao? I can thrive wherever I go." Lu Hao boasted.

Chen Jie laughed: "Do you know anyone in the underworld?"

Lu Hao instantly perked up: "Which road?"

"As long as he's a brother, it's fine. Help me deal with someone." Chen Jie approached Lu Hao and lowered his voice.

"Who?"

Chen Jie looked around to make sure no one was around: "Qian Gaosheng."

Lu Hao paused. After Sister Gao left yesterday, he didn't know what had happened. Now that Chen Jie said this, Lu Hao knew something had happened.

"How are you going to clean up?" Lu Hao looked mysterious.

"Put him in a sack and beat him up." Chen Jie did not hide it. Lu Hao was also one of his own.

"He's a cripple, why would he look for someone from the underworld? I'll go with you tonight." Lu Hao said readily.

"Really?" Chen Jie clung to Lu Hao's shoulders. "I didn't expect you to be so loyal."

Lu Hao thought that he was also someone who took money from the Chen family: "We have a relationship, so don't be so formal."

"Okay, then prepare the sacks and I'll come to you in the evening." Chen Jie instructed.

"Then I have to check it out first. Qian Gaosheng has a lot of bad friends." Lu Hao was cautious.

"It's my duty." Chen Jie nodded. "I'll treat you to dinner later."

"What do you want to eat? If the village makes some smoked meat, just bring me some."

"Okay." Chen Jie was happy.

It was already dark when he returned home. His second brother and father had also returned. The atmosphere at home was very depressing. There was an oil lamp on the table and no one spoke.

"Has Second Brother found Dad?" Chen Jie smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere.

As a result, everyone looked up at him and fell silent again.

"I'll go to the kitchen to help my sister-in-law cook." Chen Jie said and left.

"You stay." Chen Fansheng finally spoke.

Chen Jie had no choice but to stand there.

"This matter ends here." Chen Fansheng said directly, "Rongxiu has no way to survive if she follows Qian Gaosheng. If she takes the money and escapes, she will suffer less."

"Listen to what your father said, is it human language?" Jiang was angry. "She stole, stole!"

Chen Fansheng slammed the table and said, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Jiang was so angry that she shed tears but could not say anything.

"Anyway, this matter is settled," Chen Fansheng said without question. "As for Qian Gaosheng, he's done something wrong to begin with, and he's a cripple. I don't think he'll cause any more trouble, so you can rest assured."

Chen Qing and others found it easier to accept this result.

No matter what, this matter must have a result. If Dad is willing to make concessions, things will be simpler.

Jiang didn't dare to say anything, but burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Cry, cry, cry, you just know how to cry. Would these things have happened if you hadn't found the Qian family?" Chen Fansheng said irritably.

Chen Qing and the others didn't know how to comfort them, so they just stood there like wooden statues.

After the family finally finished their meal, Chen Fansheng went to bed early. Jiang sat in the room and didn't want to sleep, but Chen Fansheng ignored her.

Yang lived in Qin's house, and Chen Qing and his two brothers squeezed into the house where Chen Rongxiu had lived.

"I'm going to the toilet." Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Jie found an excuse to go out.

Chen Qing and Chen Ke didn't say anything, but no one knew what they were thinking.

After a while, Chen Qing suddenly said, "Then Lord He was quite easygoing when he came to our house. Is that really what he said?"

"Officials are all like this. They are usually friendly, but when you really ask them for help, they become a completely different person." Chen Ke also felt that Lord He was too ruthless.

Chen Qing sighed.

In fact, he felt sad that his parents were beaten like that, but he couldn't go and beat Qian Gaosheng up, otherwise the matter would be even more difficult to deal with.

Chen Ke didn't know how to comfort his elder brother: "When the house in the village is built, we will bring our parents back. It will be much better if we are all around."

Chen Qing didn't respond.

He felt quite conflicted about this matter. His parents were indeed worried that they would suffer losses outside, but when they were at home, the family was in turmoil. At their age, it seemed that they had to do something.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, but neither of them fell asleep.

After a while, Chen Qing suddenly sat up: "Has the third brother been out for too long?"

Chen Ke also reacted, and the two of them immediately got out of bed to look for someone.

In the end, they didn't find it at all. Both of them had a bad feeling. The third brother never suffered any loss, but he was a little too quiet today.

Chen Jie and Lu Hao had already arrived outside Qian Gaosheng's house, but they hid in the shadows and did not go in.

"Today, because of your Chen family's matter, Qian Gaosheng invited a lot of people to his house for a drink." Lu Hao said in a low voice.

"Where does he get the money when he's a cripple?" Chen Jie complained.

"The Qian family has some assets. I heard that Qian Gaosheng forced his wife to be a prostitute and collected a lot of money." Lu Hao pretended not to know who Chen Rongxiu was.

Chen Jie's expression was very ugly, but he quickly calmed down: "When will these people leave?"

"I don't know. Maybe he won't leave all night." Lu Hao spread his hands.

Chen Jie was speechless. Lu Hao said he came to scout the place, but he really just came to scout the place and didn't even make any preparations. If these people didn't leave in one night, wouldn't his trip be in vain?

And it won’t be easy to find such opportunities in the future.

As soon as the two finished talking, two people appeared on the street. Chen Qing and Chen Ke came to find Chen Jie.

Lu Hao suddenly had an idea: "Brother Chen, we are here." He immediately greeted him.

It was too late for Chen Jie to cover Lu Hao's mouth.

Chen Qing and Chen Ke came over and saw Chen Jie and Lu Hao hiding in the shadows, holding a sack.

"Come home with me." Chen Qing said dissatisfiedly.

"I won't!" Chen Jie said stubbornly, "My parents were beaten like that, I must beat Qian Gaosheng up."

Chen Qing knew that Chen Jie was going to do this secretly.

Lu Hao suddenly screamed: "Fire, fire..."
