Farming and reading family

Chen Fansheng never thought that he would have to deal with the jailer in his life, and he was still submissive even if he was given money.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle." The jailer took Chen Fansheng in.

"Ah, ah." Chen Fansheng bowed and nodded. "Just a few words, please eat some cakes." He lifted the cloth covering the basket.

The jailer thought to himself who would want a piece of cake, but when he took a look at the cake with stuffing, he saw that the fragrance filled his nose and he couldn't help but take one.

"Brother, brother..." Chen Fancai shouted as soon as he saw that it was Chen Fansheng.

The jailer took the bread and left. Chen Fansheng turned around and saw Chen Fancai clinging to the fence and shouting. He paused for a moment and then slowly walked over.

"Brother, save me." Chen Fancai shouted excitedly, "I asked you to take good care of me when Mom passed away."

Chen Fansheng put the basket on the ground and sat down on it, saying heavily, "But I didn't take good care of it."

Chen Fancai knelt on the ground and swallowed his saliva when he saw the cakes in the basket. Then he looked at Chen Fansheng excitedly: "Brother, in this small place like Hexian, as long as there is money, anything can be done. Chen Ke's wife is the master of the richest man, and she has plenty of money."

Chen Fansheng lowered his eyes. He knew Chen Tao.

But in his eyes, Chen Tao was just a child living in his second brother's house, no different from other children.

"I made this meat pie specially for you." Chen Fansheng took the meat pie.

Chen Fan had just raised his hand when Chen Baolai grabbed it even faster and started eating.

"Don't fight over it, we all have one." Chen Fansheng took another one and gave it to Chen Fancai.

Chen Fancai then took it and started to eat. The oil came out as soon as he took a bite, and he was dizzy with the fragrance. He didn't bother to beg Chen Fan for life and ate three cakes in one breath.

"Are you full?" Chen Fansheng looked at Chen Fancai while he ate.

This was the case when he was a child. Whenever there was something delicious at home, he would stuff it into his mouth. Chen Fansheng got used to it and thought it was normal for his younger brother to eat something delicious.

Chen Fan was about to speak when he burped: "Alright."

"Yesterday I went to my parents' grave and sat there until dark, thinking that my life was really not that great." Chen Fansheng said slowly.

As soon as Chen Fancai heard his brother mention his parents, he tried to talk about emotions: "If my parents were still alive, they would definitely save me."

Chen Fansheng knew this was the case: "Then how can I save my grandchildren?"

Chen Fancai was excited: "Brother, why don't you believe me? I really said that to paralyze the kidnappers."

People really laugh when they are speechless. He is not blind or deaf, and he understands his brother better than anyone else.

Chen Fan only saw his elder brother's smile and knew that his elder brother didn't believe him: "Brother, if I go down to see my parents first, how are you going to tell them then?"

When Chen Fansheng heard Chen Fancai say this, he sighed deeply: "My parents would probably be very pleased to see that the Chen family has so many children and grandchildren."

Chen Fan paused for a moment and said, "Brother, you don't care about me anymore."

Chen Fansheng didn't know how to manage it.

"I'm a member of the Chen family. When the time comes, I'll say that we did this together. I want to see if your precious son can still become an official." Chen Fancai threatened.

Chen Fansheng looked at his brother with a wry smile.

"If you don't save me, we will die together." Chen Fancai continued to threaten.

Chen Fansheng put the basket beside the railing and said, "Eat more." Then he stood up and left.

Chen Fancai stood up unwillingly and shouted, "If I don't have a good life, no one else can have a good life."

Chen Fansheng didn't look back.

The prisoners in the cell saw that there were still some breads left and started to grab them.

"Don't grab it, it's mine, it's mine..." Chen Fancai tried to protect the cake, but was beaten up.

Chen Fansheng returned to Baotou Village like a wandering soul, and Chen Qing followed him from a distance.

He didn't know what happened to his father. He didn't know what he had said to Chen Fan in the cell, but why did he become like this when he came out?

Before they reached the village, the yamen runners came on horseback.

The bailiff went straight to find Gao E.

"What?" Gao E thought she had misheard. "Dead?"

"Yes." The bailiff nodded. "Today, Chen Fansheng went to see Chen Fancai and brought him meat pies. The people in the prison beat him up for trying to steal the meat pies. After that, he convulsed and died."

They say calamities can last for thousands of years, but Chen Fan's death seemed rather sudden and swift: "Was he beaten to death?"

"The Lord is investigating." The yamen runner was also unsure. "I just came here to report the news first."

Gao E nodded and handed a silver coin to the yamen runner: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

The yamen runner happily took the silver and said, "This is my job, but it might be related to the meat pie Chen Fansheng sent."

Gao E's heart skipped a beat, wondering if her father-in-law had poisoned Chen Fancai to death.

She suddenly remembered the meat pie her father-in-law asked her to make, which required celery to be chopped finely.

There would certainly be nothing wrong with her vinegar cress, unless someone can't eat cress.

"How is that possible?" Gao E immediately denied, "My family made the meat pie, and my whole family ate it."

When the yamen runner heard Gao E say this, he immediately laughed: "It's not that there's something wrong with what Madam Chen made. What she made may not be the same as what she sent."

Gao E laughed dryly: "Master Cao will have to investigate this matter to find out what's going on."

After she sent the yamen runners away, she saw her father-in-law wandering to the door of her eldest brother's house. When he reached the door, he seemed to react and turned to go to the door of Chen Jie's house.

Chen Qing came over only after Chen Fansheng entered the door.

"What's wrong with Dad?" Gao E asked in confusion.

"It became like this after I went to see Chen Fancai." Chen Qing also looked puzzled.

After hearing what her eldest brother said, Gao E was certain that this matter was related to her father-in-law: "Then eldest brother, please keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing happens."

Chen Qing nodded.

"By the way, someone from the government office came and said that Chen Fancai has died." Gao E suddenly said.

"What?" Chen Qing's first reaction was also related to his father.

What Chen Fancai did was originally only related to Chen Fancai's family. If his father killed Chen Fancai, then it would become their family's matter. His father was really confused.

"How did he die?" Chen Qing was a little nervous.

"It hasn't been investigated yet. It's said that someone in the cell beat him up for a meat pie, and then he convulsed and died." Gao E looked at Chen Qing's reaction and guessed that he was also thinking that it was his father who killed Chen Fancai.

Chen Qing looked at the sky and said, "I'll go to the county government office tomorrow to inquire about it."

"I'll let He Jiabei go, and my eldest brother will look after Dad." Gao E was worried.

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "Chen Fan just died. Dad must go and see him. I'll ask him."

Gao E thought about it and realized that if Chen Fansheng didn't go, it would seem a bit unusual: "Okay."

After talking, Chen Qing and Gao E quickly went to the second brother's house.

Chen Fansheng was already sitting in the main room with wine served to him. He drank a large bowl of wine in one breath. He drank too quickly and choked, coughing and his face turned red.

Chen Qing hurried over to pat his father's back: "Dad, go slower."

Chen Fansheng waved his hand.

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment: "The yamen runner we met just now came to report that Chen Fan had just died."
