Farming and reading family

The two brothers from the Chen family started to worry about this matter last night.

Chen Qing was worried about not having enough money. Before, it was the second brother who paid for Yu Ning's medical treatment and medicine. Now there are so many things going on in the second brother's family, he can't let the second brother pay for it again.

Chen Jie felt that all three brothers had to go out. Although his second brother had been separated a long time ago, his father was injured this time when he went to his second brother's house.

But when his second brother came last night, he didn't take the initiative to talk about this matter, and he didn't know how to tell him.

If it were in the past, Lei would have made a fuss a long time ago, but now that she had gotten the upper hand from her second sister-in-law, who was also easy to get along with, she didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the Chen family was very depressing early in the morning. Lei quietly filled the water tank, and Chen Jie also obediently went to clean up the chicken manure.

At this time, the door was pushed open. Everyone looked over and saw Chen Ke coming in carrying two smoked fish.

"The second son is here." Jiang was delighted to see the second son.

"My wife asked me to bring two fish to nourish Dad." Chen Ke brought the fish to the kitchen.

Jiang took the fish, but she didn't believe that Gao had asked the second son to send it down. "Okay, then wait, let's drink some fish soup together." She pulled the second son closer and whispered, "Mom will boil an egg for you."

Chen Ke was a little embarrassed: "I won't eat downstairs, my family is waiting for me to go back and eat."

Jiang was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I have something to talk to my brother about." Chen Ke said and left.

When Lei heard that the second brother wanted to look for the eldest brother, she immediately pushed Chen Jie twice, indicating that he should talk about the money for the medicine.

Chen Jie felt a little embarrassed, but he still went over there.

Chen Qing originally wanted to take the second brother to see his father, but the second brother gestured to his eldest brother to go back to his room. When they arrived at the big house, Chen Jie also came in.

"What's the matter?" Chen Qing was a little worried. He wondered if the second brother came so early because there was another wild boar in the yard.

"My wife said that we will pay for Dad's medical consultation and medicine." Chen Ke said directly.

"Really?" Chen Jie became excited, but then he felt that this was not a good idea. "We can't let Second Brother go all by himself."

Chen Qing nodded: "Third brother is right, Dad's affairs are not just your business."

"That's really what my wife said." Chen Ke said with certainty, "Nowadays, only our second branch has more money. Besides, everyone has been busy with my family's affairs recently."

"That's also..." Chen Qing felt that this was not right, as he was the eldest in the family.

"It's settled." Chen Ke took out some small change, about three taels. "My wife said we shouldn't talk about this anymore, and just pay it directly to Doctor Sun, so Dad doesn't have to talk about it anymore."

Chen Qing felt that it was a bit unreliable, and he knew his second brother's wife's temperament.

"Since Second Sister-in-law has said so, we can't refuse her face." Chen Jie laughed. "Well, if there is anything with Second Brother, feel free to call me and Big Brother."

Chen Qing wanted to say something but was stopped by Chen Ke: "We are all family, don't worry about this."

"Second brother is right." Chen Jie added fuel to the fire.

Chen Qing had no choice but to nod: "We'll go up after we finish our meal."

Chen Ke went to see his father, said goodbye to his mother before leaving.

Lei pulled Chen Jie into the house with some uncertainty: "Did Second Brother really say that?"

"My eldest brother is here too. How could I lie to you?" Chen Jie was very sure.

He doesn't want to take advantage of others, but he is really poor now.

"Second sister-in-law is so generous." Lei smiled happily.

When Chen Ke returned to the cave, Gao E had already prepared dinner. The family of six quickly ate and began to clean up the yard.

Master Qin came with three craftsmen in the morning. Seeing that everything was ready, the bricks had been soaked in water and mixed with lime, they could start building the wall.

Originally, he thought that the Chen family could build the wall slowly if they were not well off, but now that they have made up their minds, he is just a craftsman and all he needs to do is do his job well.

The area where the fence was to be built had been cleared earlier, and a few people quickly cleaned it up and were ready to build the wall.

Chen's father said he would ask a few people in the village for help, but he had fallen and was injured. Chen Qing and Chen Jie didn't want to ask anyone for help, so they asked their own family to help.

Chen Hanyue also came up today to help Second Aunt prepare lunch.

Looking at so much food being put into the pot, as well as fish and shrimp, Chen Hanyue thought that life was better at her second aunt's house.

Gao E saw the little girl stealing glances at her from time to time, so she smiled and asked him, "How is your sister?"

"I'm much better after taking the medicine." Chen Hanyue replied immediately. "My sister even said she wanted to thank Second Aunt."

"What's there for a family to thank?" Gao E felt that Chen Hanyue was much smarter than her sister. "Then what did the Song family say?"

In fact, Gao E was not optimistic about this marriage, but her sister-in-law had not agreed, so she could not say anything. After all, she was just a second aunt.

So I wanted to see Chen Yuning's attitude through Chen Hanyue.

As soon as Gao E mentioned the Song family, Chen Hanyue's face darkened. "I really don't know what my mother is thinking. The Song family is in such a state, and she still plans to marry my sister into the Song family."

"So what does your sister think?" Gao E asked directly.

Chen Hanyue was silent.

She was three years younger than her sister and knew nothing about marriage, let alone her sister's marriage.

It's just that she looks down on people like the Song family.

"Has your sister ever complained to you?" Gao E changed the question when she saw that Chen Hanyue couldn't answer.

"Not really." Chen Hanyue thought seriously, "I just don't want to mention it. She and Song Jun were engaged a long time ago. Maybe my sister hasn't thought about what would happen if she didn't marry Song Jun."

After hearing what Chen Hanyue said, Gao E stopped asking questions.

It was the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. My eldest brother's family are all honest people and have never experienced such a thing. It is normal that they don't know how to deal with it.

Chen Yuning cooked for lunch in the afternoon, but she ran upstairs not long after she went downstairs. I don’t know what she said to her parents, but the three of them ran downstairs in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Gao E saw that Lei was also looking at the people who were leaving curiously.

"I don't know." Lei was also very curious. "I'll go and take a look." She said and left.

On the one hand, she was worried that something really might happen, and on the other hand, she wanted to watch the fun.

As soon as they left, Chen Ke had no choice but to come over to help Gao E.

The adults from the Chen family went to Chen Ke's house to help early in the morning, leaving the old and the young at home.

Jiang first boiled some medicine for her husband and placed the medicine pot under the eaves.

Chen Hanyue was not at home, so Chen Yuning had to decoct the medicine herself. Seeing that there was medicine in the medicine pot, she thought that Hanyue did not pour out the residue yesterday, so she poured it out.

As a result, her grandmother came out and asked Chen Yuning if she had spilled the medicine. Her grandmother scolded Chen Yuning as a spendthrift and kicked over her medicine jar.

Chen Yuning fell back to avoid the medicine bottle splashing on her face, but her legs were burned severely and she screamed in pain.

When Jiang heard Chen Yuning's screams, she became even angrier and picked up a broom to hit him. Chen Yuning was beaten until she lost consciousness. Only then did Jiang throw away the broom out of relief.

When Chen Hanyue returned to the Chen family, she saw her sister fainted under the eaves.
