Farming and reading family

Gao E thought about it for a moment. He knew all the villagers. He said he was looking for Chen Ke but didn't say who he was. He must be from outside.

Thinking of this, she walked out of the room and saw He Tangchun standing outside.

"Lord He?" Gao E was very surprised.

When He heard the boss's address, she was so scared that she bowed and stepped aside.

"What does Lord He want from my husband so late at night?" Gao E asked suspiciously.

He Tangchun stood in the shadow outside the door, and Gao E couldn't see He Tangchun's expression.

He Tangchun felt a little awkward: "Let's go have a drink with Mr. Chen."

"It's really unfortunate. My mother-in-law has something to do, and my husband has gone to He County." Gao E felt that He Tangchun was very depressed. "Mr. Du is over at the school. Mr. He can go and have a drink with Mr. Du."

He Tangchun and Du Weiqing also knew each other. People like him were very ostentatious, so I probably wouldn't get anything out of him even if I went to drink with him.

But now I can't find anyone else.

"Well... okay." He Tangchun nodded and turned to leave.

Gao E was a little surprised as to why He Tangchun looked so worried.

But she didn't think much about it. Why should she care about other people's men's affairs?

The three Chen brothers were now gathered around the bed, feeling very depressed.

Jiang's life was saved, but the doctor said that she would not be able to stand in the future, her mouth and eyes would be crooked, her speech would be unclear, and she would need someone to take care of her. Even if she recovered well, she would never be able to be like a normal person.

This matter started when Jiang came back yesterday. The women in the families of those neighbors who failed to buy charcoal came to quarrel with Jiang. Jiang was very angry and said that they were liars. She also tried to get back the 10% of the money that was overpaid to them.

The quarrels continued like this until late at night. Chen Fansheng was so annoyed that he went to bed without having dinner.

At night, Jiang heard some noise outside and thought it was a thief, so she asked Chen Fansheng to get up and take a look. Chen Fansheng thought there was nothing outside, so he ignored it.

Jiang muttered that maybe someone was angry and came to steal their things, so she got up to check, but she fell down as soon as she walked out of the room.

Chen Fansheng heard the sound of Jiang falling but didn't pay attention to it, thinking that she would get up by herself. It was not until the cool wind outside made Chen Fansheng unable to sleep that he realized that Jiang had not returned yet.

When he went out to check, Jiang had already fainted. It was the middle of the night and he couldn't find anyone to help. It was almost dawn when he finally managed to get Jiang to the clinic.

The doctor used acupuncture and decoctions to save Jiang's life, but she became like this.

After understanding the whole process, the three people didn't know what to say. If her mother hadn't taken the initiative to take charge of this matter, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

"Your mother is like this." Chen Fansheng said first, "You can go back tomorrow and do what you need to do. I will take care of your mother."

"How can we leave Mom and Dad alone when they're like this?" Chen Qing knew it would be troublesome, but decided to take the initiative to take care of it. "Let's pack up and go back to the village together tomorrow."

"I'll go to the Gao family to borrow a carriage." Chen Ke said immediately.

Chen Jie didn't say anything. There really was nothing he could do.

Chen Fansheng felt a little awkward: "Now you all live separately, and there is no house for me and your mother."

"Dad and Mom, please stay at my house when you return." Chen Qing said directly, "Living separately just adds an extra door. Our houses are next to each other, so no matter what happens, we can always take care of each other."

Chen Ke knew that it would definitely not work out for his family, as his large family lived in a crowded space.

Chen Jie's child is young, and Lei just gave birth to a child, so she can't take care of him.

"My second brother and I will contribute more to the usual expenses," Chen Jie said. "The doctor said Mom still needs to take medicine."

Chen Fansheng nodded: "I'm just a burden to you."

The three of them were silent. If Dad had disciplined Mom more before, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

So it was agreed that Chen Qing would keep watch first while the others went to sleep.

In the morning, He brought breakfast to Mr. Du. When she came back, she said that Mr. Du had not gotten up yet. She was worried that something had happened. After all, it was the first time that Mr. Du had not gotten up yet when she had breakfast.

Gao E thought that He Tangchun went to drink with Du Weiqing yesterday, and maybe something happened.

She immediately called Luo Dagang to go with her to take a look.

As soon as the two men arrived at the school, they saw Du Weiqing standing under the eaves and stretching in a very ungraceful manner. When he saw the two people looking at him, he twisted his waist casually twice.

"Good morning." He waved his hand.

"As long as you're alright." Gao E looked around the yard. "When did Master He leave?"

"I don't know." Du Weiqing glanced at the room where Chen Ke lived. "He only brought wine but no snacks. It's really boring."

Gao E thought it was good that he was alright: "Since he's alright, let's go over and have dinner."

Du Weiqing followed Gao E to Chen's house and asked, "What happened yesterday that made you call Chen Ke away in such a hurry?"

"Family matters." Gao E didn't want to talk about it.

Du Weiqing was also tactful and stopped asking.

In the morning, Jin Ruyi took Peng Can to Luoyun Village to look after the poultry and livestock. Gao E stayed at home to look after the younger children and watched He Shi doing the rough housework alone, busy as a top.

It seems that I need to buy two more servants.

Just as she was thinking this, someone knocked on the door and He hurriedly got up to open it.

"I'll go." Gao E shouted.

Only then did He stop and continue working.

Gao E opened the door and saw Tao Meiyun standing outside: "Why are you here?" She thought Tao Meiyun came because of He Tangchun's matter. "Didn't He Tangchun leave?"

"Did he come to your place last night?" Tao Meiyu was surprised.

"You don't know?" Gao E said as she raised her hand to support Tao Meiyu.

"How should I know? I thought he went to sleep with the flowers and willows." Tao Meiyu said unhappily.

"Did you two have a fight?" Gao E felt curious.

"It's not that we had a quarrel, it's just that we found out some things." Tao Meiyu sneered.

Gao E felt that this was a bad thing, otherwise He Tangchun would not have behaved like that: "Last night, my husband was away, and he went to drink with Mr. Du, but Mr. Du despised him for not bringing any snacks."

Tao Meiyun knew He Tangchun never did these things, so the fact that he brought alcohol was a surprise. "I didn't come to you today for these trivial matters."

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the main room and sat down around the charcoal brazier.

"What's that?" Gao E asked, putting up the iron net. "Roast some chestnuts?"

"Okay." Tao Meiyun nodded. "Who did the Yun family offend?"

"What do you mean?" Gao E was surprised.

"Take a look." Tao Meiyu said as she handed a letter to Gao E.

Gao E put down the tongs, took the letter, opened it and began to read. The more she read, the more solemn her expression became.

"It was so obvious that the Yun family was wronged, but everything was settled. Now, no one in Qinzhou Prefecture mentions this matter at all. The Tao family also took a lot of effort to find out about this." Tao Meiyu said that the Tao family had tried their best.

Gao E smelled a conspiracy. The Yun family was like a stumbling block that was being removed, but she had no idea what was going on.

"Then... can Yunshuang still enter the palace?" Gao E became worried.

"Don't worry about this. Now she and the Tao family have a common enemy." Tao Meiyu sighed.
