Farming and reading family

Chen Ke had an idea when he heard his father say this. His father probably didn't know what they were doing, he only knew that they often went to the city.

"Your uncle has come to me and asked me to tell you something." Chen Fansheng continued, "How much money do you have left from the money you saved for the exam?"

Chen Ke wanted to say more than before: "No movement."

"Nothing has been moved?" Chen Fansheng looked suspicious. "Then it must have cost you a lot of money to move up there. Where did it come from?"

Chen Ke lowered his head and said, "Ms. Gao sold all the jewelry she had."

This is true, but the money is not enough to buy what they have now.

The money they have now is earned from selling crickets.

Chen Fansheng was moved when he heard Chen Ke say this.

He knew that Gao had some things with her when she married him. That was her last bit of dignity, which she valued more than her own life. She would fight to the death with anyone who dared to touch her.

I didn't expect that he would be willing to take it out.

"So it was my uncle who came to tell Dad that I often go to the city?" Chen Ke asked cautiously when he saw his father was silent.

"It could be him, living at the entrance of the village, staring at other people's houses every day." Chen Fansheng said unhappily.

Chen Ke understood.

His family was the only one in Batou Village that had a horse carriage. Even though he came back late, there was still noise. He must have been seen by his uncle's family.

"I understand. I will pay attention to it." Chen Ke nodded.

Chen Fansheng hesitated for a moment: "The Gao family is very proud and arrogant. Now that they are willing to treat you like this, you should be more tolerant."

"Yes." Chen Ke nodded.

The father and son chatted for a while, and Chen Ke asked about his father's health before leaving.

Chen Fansheng sighed as he watched his son leave. If his son couldn't go to high school, he would probably be suppressed by his younger brother for the rest of his life.

Gao E was curious about why her father-in-law was looking for her husband at this time. As soon as Chen Ke came back, he told her that his uncle said they often went to the city.

"What does it have to do with him?" Lei was unhappy when she heard it.

Gao E thought about it seriously and thought that Uncle Chen Ke was just a talkative person and probably didn't know what they were doing.

But this also reminded them that if someone noticed them, they should be more cautious.

"Second sister-in-law?" Lei saw Gao E didn't say anything.

Gao E smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's cook the meal first."

Chen Qing and Chen Jie didn't come back until the afternoon. Digging a trap for wild boars is a physical job, so Chen Jie sat down and drank half a pot of water as soon as he came back.

In fact, they also considered setting some traps to catch other wild animals, but Peng Can wanted them anyway. In the end, they gave up and thought it was good enough to catch a wild boar.

"Take a rest, harness the carriage and go for a stroll in front of your uncle's house." Gao E came out of the cave.

Chen Jie looked confused: "What's wrong?"

Chen Qing was also confused.

Gao E told him about her uncle's gossips about her father-in-law: "If they like watching it so much, let them watch it to their heart's content."

"Oh!" Chen Jie was also angry. "My uncle's family can't stand seeing any good in us. They even want to take the carriage."

Gao E knew that Chen Fancai's family wanted to buy the original owner's carriage, and she had tried to persuade them in various ways when she bought the original owner's house.

But the original owner could live without a house, but not without a carriage.

After all, that's a show of face.

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will make my uncle wish he could find a hole to crawl into." Chen Jie said confidently.

Chen Qing wanted to say something but stopped himself, thinking that the family's quarrel was too ugly and it was a laughing stock. However, his uncle never treated them as a family, so he lowered the price to buy his second brother's house.

After Chen Jie had eaten and drunk his fill, he brushed the horse and put back the bells he had taken off before setting up the carriage and heading to his uncle's house.

It was almost dusk and there were more people passing by the village entrance. I saw Chen Jie driving back and forth in front of his uncle's house.

"Uncle, look at how handsome our horse is. Look at the color of its fur, how shiny it is." Chen Jie shouted loudly, "When this carriage leaves, people in the city will turn around to take a second look."

"Uncle, you've been working in the city for so many years, and you've never ridden in such a nice carriage, right? I know you covet my second brother's carriage, but it's no use coveting it."

……

Chen Jie mocked and ridiculed, and some people who didn't understand what was going on stopped and stood aside to listen, wondering what the Chen family was going to do next?

In fact, the elders in the village all felt that Chen Fansheng had done his best for his younger brother.

But now that Chen Fancai's family lives a good life and he can have a say in the government, he becomes closer to Chen Fancai.

Chen Fancai was furious when he heard this. He had gone to his eldest brother to stir up trouble today, but the anger ended up spreading to him.

He knew that Chen Jie was a reckless person who could say anything, and as an elder, he was always narrow-minded in what he said.

"Dad?" Chen Baolai couldn't help but ask, "What is Third Brother going to do?"

"Don't worry about him. He left when he said he had enough." Chen Fancai was also very angry.

"No." Chen Baolai said and went out.

Just when Chen Jie was thinking that it was boring to talk alone, Chen Baolai opened the door and rushed out.

"Third brother, what are you doing at my doorstep?" Chen Baolai asked directly.

"Let your family take a good look at our carriage." Chen Jie said excitedly, "Every time your father sees our carriage, go to my father and tell him about it. Look how much he loves it."

"As your nephew, I can't deny your father a good look. Go, call your father out and let me take a good look. If not, I'll take him for a walk." Chen Jie said generously.

"You..." Chen Baolai was angry. "Who cares about your carriage?"

"What are you talking about when you come to my house and say you don't want it? When you forced my second sister-in-law to sell the house, weren't you still coveting this carriage? Now you say you don't want it? Who will believe you?" Chen Jie said sarcastically.

Chen Baolai's face flushed red from holding back his anger: "What's so great about having a carriage?"

"It's great to have a carriage. We can go to the city whenever we want and go wherever we want. Driving my beloved little carriage, and the bells are jingling." Chen Jie shook his head proudly.

Chen Baolai felt so angry that his chest ached when he heard Chen Jie say this.

The people around laughed when they heard this, thinking that Chen Fancai's family was planning to take Chen Xiucai's carriage again, which was why Chen Jie came to help his second brother vent his anger.

Chen Fancai couldn't stand it any longer and rushed out of the yard: "How dare you, a junior, come to your uncle's house and talk like this?"

"My uncle is so arrogant that he doesn't even let the younger generation have a say." Chen Jie said exaggeratedly, "So, if my second uncle wants our carriage, we can't say anything?"

Chen Fancai was so angry that his face turned pale: "I'll go talk to your father."

"Would you like to go in a carriage?" Chen Jie blocked the carriage in front of his uncle. "Then you can sit in the carriage and talk. How impressive."

Chen Fancai was so angry that he wanted to slap the boy twice. After he made such a fuss, the whole village probably knew that he coveted his nephew's carriage.

"I won't bother with you." He said and turned to go home.

"Then I would like to thank you for not making a fuss about it." Chen Jie clasped his fists behind him.
