Farming and reading family

She thought that there wouldn't be many family members if they moved down and lived separately, and since they had been through hardships together, there would be at least some trust among them. However, reality slapped her in the face.

There are people in this world who can share hardships but not happiness.

Jin Ruyi wanted to laugh when she heard this: "Do you know how to set the rules now?"

Gao E heard her mockery: "I am from a small family, I really can't think that far ahead."

Jin Ruyi knew Gao E was mocking herself: "I know a few people who have helped the Yun family before. They are pretty good people. I will show them around when they first arrive. If you need anything in the future, you can just call them over for help."

Gao E nodded.

After Jin Ruyi finished writing the list, she went to Peng Can and rode to Luoyun Village to look for someone.

Gao E took Xiao Wu to play in the main room, as if she didn't see Qin in the yard.

Before making dinner, Jin Ruyi brought back four maids and told them that this was their real boss.

The four maids also knew the rules. When they arrived at the Chen family, they looked straight ahead and greeted Gao E without joking.

"What are you going to do?" Jin Ruyi sat down to warm himself by the fire. He was freezing from walking back and forth.

"First deal with him according to family rules, and then send him to the government office." Gao E said directly.

Jin Ruyi felt that Gao E really liked sending people to the government office: "What about her daughter?"

"You think too much." Gao E said angrily, "When she was stealing, she didn't even think about her own daughter. Why should she think about others?"

Jin Ruyi was silent.

"If I'm unfaithful once, I'll never be trusted again in my life." Gao E said coldly.

Jin Ruyi nodded: "Okay."

The two were chatting about the chattering children at home when they came back from outside. When they entered the yard, they saw Qin kneeling in the yard and were stunned for a moment, then walked around Qin to the main hall.

Qin was already shivering with cold, and seeing Chen Zhengyan and the others coming back was like grabbing a life-saving straw: "Master, Master, please ask the boss for mercy, otherwise the boss will drive us mother and daughter away."

Gao E had already walked to the threshold of the main hall and heard Qin pleading with the eldest brother and others.

"Mom..." Chen Zhengyan looked at his mother.

Chen Zhenghui and Chen Zhengchuan took two steps forward and stood side by side with their eldest brother. Although they didn't know what was going on, they would stand with their eldest brother.

Jin Chao and Yun Zhou behind them showed no intention of speaking, and even Tian Xier, who was following behind them, hid herself and did not dare to show her head.

"Qin stole things worth hundreds of taels from the house and was caught on the spot." Gao E stated the reason directly.

Several people looked at Qin in shock.

Qin hurriedly explained: "I didn't steal it, I just took it to have a look."

"Taking something without permission is called stealing." Chen Zhengyan didn't expect Qin to do such a thing. "You said it was taking, but does that mean my Chen family's things are yours?"

Qin was stunned. The children at home usually treated her with respect and even called her Aunt Qin affectionately. Why did they suddenly turn against her?

Gao E was quite satisfied with the boss's response: "Then how do you think Zheng Yan should handle this?"

Chen Zhengyan hesitated for a long time and said, "We don't have any family rules now, so why not send him to the government for punishment?"

Gao E nodded, then looked at the people behind her: "Do you have any objections?"

A group of children shook their heads.

Qin's face was filled with despair. Suddenly, she saw Tian Xier and said, "Xier, Xier, please save me. Please beg for mercy. In the future, you will work like a slave to repay the young masters."

Tian Xier was frightened by her mother's appearance and started crying, and Que'er beside her also started crying in fear.

"He!" Gao E called out.

He came out of the kitchen in a hurry, wiping her hands on her apron. "What's the matter, Boss?"

"Take them into the house first." Gao E felt a headache after hearing this.

He hurriedly pulled Tian Xier and Que'er back to the house.

"Who said the Chen family doesn't have family rules?" Gao E looked at them. "Qin is guilty of theft. According to the twenty rules of the family, she must be sent to the government office."

Qin's face turned pale and she almost fainted from fright.

Immediately, four maids pressed Qin down on a bench and started beating her with carrying poles.

Qin, who was originally trembling, now screamed louder than a pig being slaughtered, which scared Lei and the others over.

Some neighbors didn't know what was going on and stood at the door of Chen Ke's house watching.

After beating her, Gao E told Lei what had happened.

"What a black-hearted bastard." Lei wanted to grab the carrying pole and hit him a few more times. "If it weren't for my second sister-in-law saving you, you and your daughter would have died long ago. How dare you steal things?"

Many people saw Chang Zhinan giving Gao E something during the day. It was a gift from the county magistrate's wife, so it must be very valuable.

Qin was regretting her decision to the point of her intestines turning green. She had always thought that her boss was easy to talk to and she could tolerate her mother-in-law like that, but she never expected that her boss would be so cruel.

If it happened again, even if she had the courage of a bear and a leopard, she would not dare to covet the boss's things.

When the people outside heard that it was Qin who stole the things that the county magistrate's wife gave to Gao E, they immediately asked Gao E why she didn't beat Qin to death. What was the point of keeping such a person around?

Gao E said that every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. Now that the punishment has been given according to the family rules, it can be sent to the government office tomorrow.

Those people said that Gao E was too kind to tolerate such a person.

When Chen Qing heard about this, he went home and saw Yang cooking in the kitchen: "Why didn't you go and see what happened at the second brother's house?"

Yang looked up at her husband and said, "The second son's wife is capable and can handle it herself. Besides, my mother is there, so I would be in a dilemma if I went there."

Chen Qing went over and sat on the kitchen threshold in silence for a while: "You are the eldest daughter-in-law in the family. If something happens at home, you should go there. Even if you can't take charge, you should still take care of it."

Yang looked at Chen Qing with a spatula in her hand: "My mother-in-law is still alive, so it's not my turn as the eldest daughter-in-law."

All daughters-in-law become mothers-in-law eventually, and Yang feels that she has no say in the family now.

Chen Qing fell silent again. When he saw his mother like that today, he suddenly became worried that Yang would become like that in the future.

As he got older, he took advantage of his seniority to make things difficult for his son and daughter-in-law, and he thought it was justified.

"If it were your turn today, what would you do?" Chen Qing asked slowly.

The sound of Yang stir-frying shattered Chen Qing's words, and she didn't even look up at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing didn't say anything else. He got up and went to the main room. He saw Yu Ning and Han Yue coming in from outside. When they saw their father standing in the yard, they immediately stopped.

Chen Qing glanced at them and said, "Get ready to eat."

"Okay." Chen Hanyue pulled her sister and ran.

After dinner, Gao E and Jin Ruyi sat there to make family rules. Jin Ruyi simply wrote down the Jin family's rules, and Gao E modified them according to the situation of the Chen family. The two discussed them repeatedly.

After it is written, I will show it to Chen Ke, and then the matter will be completely settled.

"Are you really not going to take care of Tian Xier?" Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E uncertainly.

"Given Qin's situation, Tian Xier will probably be sold by the government. If you want to buy her then go ahead." Gao E said directly.

Jin Ruyi smiled suddenly: "You are just too cautious. You are still worried that someone from the Tian family will come to ask for Qin and Tian Xier."

"I have never had good luck. Things that are impossible for others may happen to me." Gao E did not dare to be careless.
