Farming and reading family

Gao E felt like laughing when she saw that Chen Ke seemed very uncertain.

Normally, shouldn't we be heroic and confident at times like this?

At the very least, you must act as if you are ready to die.

"Don't you want to buy back the house?" Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke was stunned.

He really didn't want to buy back the house because he knew very well that the house was located in low-lying areas and even the foundation would be lost after the flood, so buying it back would be a waste of money.

But there is no other way to make things too awkward with my uncle's family now.

"You should know that the house and the furniture inside cost at least two hundred taels, but he bought it for only sixty-five taels. Your uncle is bullying you, and you are very angry." Gao E reminded.

Chen Ke couldn't get angry about this matter at the moment, he knew it was a trap.

Gao E was speechless. Even if they were an extra, their acting skills wouldn't be like this.

"Think about how your uncle's family treated you." Gao E said speechlessly.

Chen Ke thought of his previous life when Chen Baolai forced him to adopt his youngest son and then humiliated him in various ways. Resentment and anger began to spread.

Gao E looked at the changes in Chen Ke's expression. It seemed that their grudge was not simple. How could he remain so calm?

If it were her, she would probably deal with those people as soon as she was reborn.

"I understand." Chen Ke turned and left with a serious expression.

After he was reborn, he thought about preventing Gao from selling his son and taking his family away from the flood. For the time being, he really had no time to think about anything else.

Since we are going to do this this time, let’s settle some old scores.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke's back and thought, as long as he is willing to grow, it will be fine.

Don't live your life again without making any progress.

After Chen Ke left, Gao E looked up and felt that the rain had subsided. Why did Chen Ke become even more anxious?

It seems that it is a problem of time, not a problem of rain.

At the headman's house, all the people Chen Ke had invited came, and Chen Qing also carried his father here, with Chen Jie standing beside them with a curious look on his face.

My second brother rarely interacts with the villagers. Why did he suddenly invite so many people? What is he going to do?

"Yi Cheng has already gone to invite your uncle, he will be here soon." Zheng Fengan looked at Chen Ke.

Until now, he still didn't know why Chen Ke called so many people here to bear witness.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Chen Ke bowed.

Seeing Chen Ke like this, everyone looked at each other and thought that scholars have a different temperament.

Chen Fansheng felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, thinking that his son had to go to the head of the village for a while instead of discussing things with him first, and even invited everyone in the village who had a say.

Just as he was thinking this, the door of the headman's house opened, and Zheng Yicheng came in with Chen Fancai, followed by Chen Baolai.

"Hey!" Chen Fan walked into the main hall of the village head's house and saw that it was full of people. "What's going on?"

Zheng Fengan glanced at Chen Ke and said, "It was your second nephew who asked for someone to be a witness."

Chen Fancai looked at Chen Ke. He was still angry about the carriage incident, but he smiled in front of so many people. "My second nephew, this is the first time you have invited so many people from the village. Do you have any ideas?"

Chen Ke stood up and saluted respectfully: "Uncle."

"You don't have to be so polite as we're family." Chen Fancai sat down on an empty chair on the side with a casual look on his face.

It feels good to sit down and let the scholar salute you.

Chen Jie on the side rolled his eyes. His uncle acted like a decent person in front of outsiders, making people think that it was their family that was looking for trouble.

"In that case, I'll be frank." Chen Ke stood up straight. "Uncle said before that my yard was only worth 65 taels. Now I'm buying it back for 75 taels. I hope you'll agree."

Everyone widened their eyes. Chen Ke invited so many people just for this?

Chen Fancai didn't react for a moment and thought he had misheard.

Chen Qing frowned slightly, thinking that this was impossible. Why did his second brother do this?

Chen Jie's face showed ecstasy. He had just wondered today if his second brother could buy back the previous yard. How could his second brother plan to buy it back so soon?

The yard is very big and close to Wangba River, so it will be convenient to do anything in the future.

Chen Fansheng was slightly stunned. Thinking about the leaking house, his second son would probably have a hard time living there. It was normal for him to want to buy back the previous yard.

Besides, Gao sold the yard too cheaply before.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Baolai jumped up. "You want to buy my yard for seventy-five taels?"

Although Chen Baolai didn't live in the new yard for a long time, he liked it very much. There was no mud at home when it rained, and the house was big.

Hearing Chen Baolai jumping up and down, Chen Ke stared at Chen Baolai with a gloomy look: "Before, it was your father who said that my yard was only worth 65 taels. I didn't have enough money to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so I had no choice but to sell it to your family."

"It's been less than half a year now, so what's wrong with me giving you an extra ten taels of silver?" Chen Ke asked. "Or is it that my uncle clearly knew that the yard was valuable and just took advantage of us because we couldn't raise the money?"

The villagers only knew that Chen Ke sold the yard to Chen Fancai's family, but they were not sure how much they got for it. After all, it was their family's business.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the price. Chen Ke spent more than one hundred taels on buying bricks and tiles for that yard, and then he bought more things like water. But Chen Fancai only gave him sixty-five taels?

At once, they all looked at Chen Fancai. They thought they couldn't afford so much money, but Chen Fancai was too cruel. He was also Chen Ke's uncle. If Chen Ke really got admitted to high school, he would also benefit from it.

Chen Fan quickly calmed down after hearing what Chen Ke said: "Nephew, this is not about money. The yard is mine now. I don't want to sell it, and you can't force me to buy it, right?"

After all, he is a person who works outside, so his speaking skills are better than others.

"Bullshit!" Chen Fansheng slammed his hand on the table. "What do you mean by forced buying and selling? Listen, everyone, is sixty-five taels a reasonable price to buy my second son's yard?"

"Gao was willing at the time, so what's unreasonable about that?" Chen Fancai spread his hands.

He was removing the fig leaf of Chen Fansheng's family, indicating that all the people in the Chen family relied on the Gao family.

"Second uncle is taking advantage of her because she is a decent woman and he is eager for her husband to succeed, so he is deceiving her." Chen Ke said angrily.

"Yes!" Chen Jie immediately agreed. "My uncle also wants our carriage. Everyone in the village knows about it."

Chen Fancai's mind raced, thinking that he had been tricked by the young man Chen Ke today, who had deliberately brought these things up in front of others.

But there was no way he would return the house to Chen Ke, he was not stupid.

"You are slandering me." Chen Fancai jumped up. "Anyway, this house has been approved by the documents and is mine now. If I don't sell it, you can't buy it." He was about to leave.

"Chen Fancai!" Chen Fansheng also stood up. "We're brothers. I've already given you all the advantages, but now you want to bully my son?"

His eyes were red from anger.

Everyone had never seen Chen Fansheng like this before, and they were immediately shocked, wondering what was going on between the two brothers.
