Farming and reading family

Chen Yuning finally nodded when she heard what her second aunt said.

"I don't need to ask to know that the Song family is not a good family." Chen Hanyue muttered.

After another busy day, the main body of the courtyard wall is basically completed. Tomorrow I will carefully repair the door frame and put on the finishing touches.

After dinner, a few people were deadlocked over whether to take Yu Ning downstairs.

"Let's go back." Chen Qing said as he stood up.

"I won't go back." Chen Hanyue said stubbornly.

She knew that since her elder sister had agreed to go back, she would definitely go back, so she could only resist in her own way.

Chen Qing and his wife are both honest and kind people, so how could they give birth to a traitor like Chen Hanyue?

"Han Yue..." Yang lowered her voice and gestured.

"I won't go back." Chen Hanyue said confidently, "The burn on my sister's leg hasn't healed yet. What if the skin is scratched and a scar is left? She can sleep peacefully at my second uncle's house."

Chen Qing hesitated when he heard his second daughter say this.

"Brother, let Yu Ning and Han Yue live here." Chen Ke said, "You are all exhausted after a day's work. You will definitely not have the energy to take care of her if you go back."

"I'll talk to Mom." Chen Jie said immediately, "Mom doesn't want to see the eldest girl tossing around like this, what if something bad happens to her?"

Since Chen Ke and Chen Jie said so, Chen Qing couldn't insist, so everyone left.

Chen Ke saw his elder brother and the others off, and when he returned to the yard, he pulled up a bamboo fence and thorns to block the entrance.

Gao E heard Chen Hanyue scolding Chen Yuning at the door of the cave. When Chen Ke approached, Gao E signaled Chen Ke to lower his voice, and then went back to the cave with him.

"After we finish our work tomorrow, I want the third brother to find out about the Song family. If the Song family is really not a good family, it would be better to cancel Yu Ning's marriage." Gao E suggested in a low voice.

Chen Ke knew that Yu Ning would not live well after marrying him, so he was silent for a while and said, "Just withdraw from the marriage."

Gao E was stunned. She thought Chen Ke would say that she was meddling too much, but she didn't expect him to be even more direct than her.

In fact, regarding the issue of the betrothal gift, Gao E knew that the Song family was not a good family, but her eldest brother and his wife did not seem to want to cancel the engagement, and Yu Ning had no such plans either, so she wanted to find out more and make them give up.

"Then how do I tell my brother?" Gao E worried.

Chen Ke knew that these variables were more or less related to him. The Song family had tried to curry favor with the Chen family and marry into their family because he passed the imperial examination.

But he didn't know how to say it.

"I think we should let the third brother go and find out, so that we can get an explanation." Gao E saw that Chen Ke was in a dilemma.

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded.

There wasn't much work to do that day, so Master Qin brought two people with him. However, not long after the eldest brother and the others came up, Jiang came up and took Yang's hand. She didn't know what she said, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left quickly.

"It must be something bad." Chen Hanyue tilted her head and took a look before following.

Gao E thought for a moment and called out to Lei: "What's going on at home?"

Lei was also curious: "I'll go back and take a look." She washed her hands and left.

Gao E took a look at the cave where Chen Yuning lived. Her mother-in-law took her sister-in-law away. Could it be related to Yuning?

Without thinking much, she started preparing food for lunch.

Not long after, Chen Hanyue ran up in a hurry.

"Dad, Second Uncle, Third Aunt and the Song family are fighting." Chen Hanyue shouted with some excitement.

Everyone in the yard was stunned. Chen Qing was still holding the tile knife in his hand.

"Who dares to hit my wife?" Chen Jie roared and walked away with the ash shovel.

Chen Qing and Chen Ke did not waste any time and followed him.

Gao E chased after him for two steps and said, "Master Qin, please go down and take a look. Don't let anything really happen."

When Master Qin and his companions heard what their master said, they put down their work and went over together.

Gao E was not afraid of any bad things happening, she just wanted Master Qin and the others to go down and form a formation. They had more people on their side, and they were all tall and strong men, so the Song family would definitely not dare to act rashly.

When she turned around, she saw Chen Yuning limping out of the cave, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Second Aunt looking at her.

"Did you hear that your third aunt and the Song family had a fight?" Gao E asked directly.

Chen Yuning nodded.

"Who do you want to help?" Gao E looked at Chen Yuning.

"After this beating, I'm afraid my marriage with Song Jun is over." It would be a lie for Chen Yuning to say that she didn't feel sorry. At least it would be bad for a woman's reputation.

"You know your third aunt's character. She protects her family the most. If the Song family hadn't gone too far, she would never have taken action." Gao E analyzed.

Chen Yuning knew this was the case. Third Aunt was a hot-tempered person who couldn't bear to see her family suffer any loss, but she never took advantage of others. Although some people in the village disliked her, most of them were good people.

"You don't have to think too much about it. You haven't gotten married yet. These are all matters for adults." Gao E comforted her.

Chen Yuning lowered her head and thought for a moment: "If I don't marry into the Song family, who else can I marry?"

This question stumped Gao E.

Before traveling through time, Gao E was forced by her family to go on a blind date and met her husband. He was not a good person either. He spent her money and despised her for not being able to have children.

She wasn't too sad. After all, she didn't rely on him financially. She thought that at worst she could just find another one.

But she wore it before she could find another one.

Fortunately, she wrote a will in advance and donated all her assets, so no one can take advantage of her.

"Why do I have to marry someone?" Gao E asked in return, "What is the purpose of marrying someone?"

Chen Yuning was stunned: "How can a woman not get married?"

This was also the sentence used by those who forced Gao E to get married. It was a completely unreasonable rule that no one could explain, but it had to be followed.

Gao E subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she thought that she was just an elder and could not be responsible for Yu Ning, so she could only remind him.

Thinking of this, the anger in my chest instantly dissipated.

Maybe I'm too lazy to discuss this long and boring topic that has no results.

"Go inside and take good care of yourself. You can't do anything if you go back now." Gao E said no more.

Chen Yuning thought about it and turned back to the cave.

Gao E thought that the two sisters had their own strengths. Chen Yuning listened to advice, while Chen Hanyue had her own opinions.

When Chen Qing and the others ran back, the villagers had already separated the Lei and Song families. The Song family was still mocking them, saying that Chen Yuning was half dead and that three taels of silver was too much.

Lei was blocked and couldn't get through, so he took off his shoes and threw them at the Song family.

When Chen Qing and the others arrived, the Song family members immediately shut up when they saw six or seven men.

"Wife, are you okay?" Chen Jie hurriedly supported his wife.

"I'm fine." Mrs. Lei wiped her hair from her forehead. "The Song family is a bunch of bastards. They only offered three taels of silver for the dowry, but they asked for a huge betrothal gift. They also said that Yu Ning was half dead and that it was a pity that Yu Ning had no place to be buried after she died."

Hearing what Lei said, the faces of the men in the Chen family changed.

Especially Chen Qing, how could he tolerate someone humiliating his daughter like this?

When Mrs. Zhu from the Song family saw that something was wrong, she immediately winked at Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu was also a little timid: "What you said is true. When it comes to marriage, it's about marrying two families. We should talk it over nicely."
