Farming and reading family

Chen Ke brought his four children over, and Chen Fancai was so kind that he gave snacks to each of them one by one.

"Last time I saw so many children from the second brother's family, why didn't they come over?" Chen Fancai asked with a smile.

Chen Fansheng said angrily, "His wife is so ungrateful that she's raising someone else's child."

"Is that true?" Chen Fan looked at Chen Ke.

"They were all entrusted to my wife." Chen Ke didn't quite understand, and Gao E told him that they were entrusted.

"Oh." Chen Fan suddenly realized.

Among the group of children, there were two handsome ones who didn't look like they came from farming families.

"Since the second son's wife treats him as her own child, we can't neglect him." Chen Fancai said seriously.

"Dad, I want to go home." Chen Zhengchuan started to wander around.

Chen Fansheng was a little angry and thought it was Gao E who taught him that.

"Then let's go back first." Chen Ke said immediately before his father got angry.

The four children ran away.

"That's great." Chen Fancai looked at his eldest brother with a smile, "Our Chen family is also thriving."

Chen Fansheng liked to hear this.

When Chen Zhengyan and his friends returned home, they gave the snacks to their mother.

"You're back so soon." Gao E thought there would be a delay.

"It was my third brother who took the initiative to come back." Chen Zhengyan said with a smile.

"I don't like that second grandfather, and I don't want his snacks." Chen Zhengchuan said seriously.

"If you don't like it, feed it to the chickens." Gao E smiled and took the small basket.

The four children put the snacks into the small basket with disgust and dusted their hands.

"Why don't you like him?" Gao E looked at the third brother.

"I just don't like it." Chen Zhengchuan couldn't explain why.

"Okay." Gao E didn't ask any more questions. "Wash your hands and go eat."

The four children then dispersed.

Gao E looked at the snacks in the small basket and thought she was really stingy. It was normal that the children didn't like the worst snacks.

Chen Ke stayed in his elder brother's yard for half a day before coming back, looking as if he didn't dare to look at Gao E.

"Is their whole family gone?" Gao E asked directly.

"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded. "Dad said we'll go to He County tomorrow to have dinner with them."

"I won't go." Gao E refused bluntly.

"Dad wants the children to go." Chen Ke said in a low voice.

Gao E paused for a moment: "Okay."

Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Gao E would not let the children go.

"Then you have to keep a close eye on them. After all, this is your first time taking four children out." Gao E warned.

Chen Ke was surprised to hear that it was true. Gao E was the one who took care of all the children in the family, and he had never taken care of any of them before. "Don't worry, my lady. My eldest brother and third brother will be there by then."

Gao E nodded.

The carriage left Baotou Village, and Zhong Er tilted his head to look.

"Then Gao and you are a family?" Zhong Er asked uncertainly.

"Well, you rely on the fact that you are the daughter of a landlord and don't take us seriously." Chen Fan stopped pretending.

Zhong Er sneered, it's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road.

She had gotten herself into such a miserable state because of one of her sons, and this time she was going to kidnap both of her sons.

Early the next morning, Chen Fansheng stood at the door waiting for Chen Qing to harness the carriage.

"Adults are not as sensible as children. They keep harping on trivial matters. How can they be mothers..." Chen Fansheng shouted at the top of his voice.

Gao E heard it clearly at home, but didn't react at all.

"Can you bear it?" Lu Qingluo couldn't bear it anymore.

"Keep quiet when fishing, otherwise the fish will be scared away." Gao E glanced at Lu Qingluo.

"It's a waste of bait to fish for their whole family." Lu Qingluo said unhappily.

Gao E felt that what Lu Qingluo said recently made some sense: "It's time to completely pour out the sand from the soles of my shoes."

Lu Qingluo didn't know what Gao E was talking about.

Chen Fancai was also willing to spend a lot of money to invite Chen Fansheng and his family to dinner at Wanyilou.

"My second uncle is treating me to a meal, but it's not my dad who is paying for it, is it?" Chen Jie said sarcastically.

He felt that his second uncle's family was definitely not that generous.

"How can I let your father pay? I'll pay." Chen Fancai said with a smile.

"How do you talk to your second uncle like that?" Chen Fansheng was angry.

Chen Jie is also unrestrained now: "My second uncle can do anything, so what if I just say a few words?"

"You..." Chen Fansheng was angry.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm the one paying anyway." Chen Fancai said immediately.

"Then take out the silver first, otherwise you will not be able to take it out after a long time, or you will lose it or forget to bring it with you." Chen Jie said directly.

"Don't go too far, Third Brother." Chen Fansheng stood up.

Chen Fancai hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, don't be angry with me and the kids." He took out his wallet and said, "Your father said you are the manager here and watch over the serving of the dishes."

Chen Jie took the purse and took a look at it. There should be about twenty taels in it. He knew there must be something wrong. What did his second uncle want to do?

However, he remained calm and finished the slaughter first before saying, "Waiter, serve the dish according to the standard of twenty taels."

"Okay——" the waiter responded and went to the kitchen.

"You're not living like this." Chen Fansheng's eyes widened when he heard that a meal cost twenty taels.

"Dad, you don't know that a meal at Wanyilou costs only ten taels. We are sitting at two tables here, which is already shabby enough." Chen Jie said embarrassedly.

Chen Fansheng wanted to say that he was the manager of Wanyilou, so what if his father came to have a meal, but when he heard the price, he shut up immediately.

"Brother, it's okay. We are at this age and should see the world." Chen Fan hurriedly comforted him.

Chen Jie's eyes were full of suspicion. This Chen Fancai was definitely not normal.

Over there, Lei asked her father to look after the shop while she drove the carriage back to the village to find her second sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, what's going on with Chen Fancai's family?" Lei asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I don't know what's going on." Gao E told the story of Chen Fancai and his family returning.

"That's not right." Lei said suspiciously, "Given the character of that family, if they see that we're doing well, they'll definitely take some of our wealth."

"I thought so too. My father had mentioned before that I should return their land to them, but he didn't mention it again later." Gao E was suspicious.

When Mrs. Lei heard her second sister-in-law say this, she thought Chen Fancai's family had changed their minds: "What kind of business do they have outside? How do they make so much money?"

"I heard from your second brother that he was working for a wealthy family, but he didn't say anything specific." Gao E was unsure.

"We have to get to the bottom of this. What if they do some messy things outside and find out about us?" Lei said solemnly.

Gao E thought Lei was overthinking it. "You know your second brother well, but you don't ask too many questions. The third brother is smart, so you can ask him to find out later."

Lei nodded: "Okay. I won't be nice to that family."

"Yes." Gao E smiled. "The New Year is coming soon. When do you plan to come back?"

"Maybe around eighteen or nineteen." Lei estimated.

"It's only a few days away. You don't have to worry about things at home. I'll ask them to prepare things for both your families." Gao E said with a smile.
