Farming and reading family

Life has been good in the past two years. Chen Fansheng looks healthier than before. Chen Qing calls his father to get up every day, and everything is fine.

"Uncle Sun couldn't possibly lie to me." Gao E was puzzled.

"I'll ask later." Chen Qing knew that Uncle Sun had no reason to lie to them.

"Dad didn't say it on his own initiative, maybe he didn't want to say it. Just pay attention to it later." Gao E reminded.

Chen Qing nodded.

Gao E left after saying this without going to see Yang.

Yang leaned on the window and watched Gao E come and go. She wanted to call Gao E, but she didn't dare.

She was worried that Gao E would know that Chen Qing had divorced her and would mock her.

Chen Fansheng came back late today, and Chen Qing was already sitting in the yard. He opened the door and saw Chen Qing paused for a moment, then closed the door and went back into the house with his hands behind his back.

After Jiang passed away, Chen Fansheng didn't pay much attention to Chen Qing.

"Dad." Chen Qing stood up.

Chen Fansheng then turned and looked at Chen Qing.

"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me." Chen Qing looked at his father.

"I'm fine. Are you hoping that I'll die soon so you don't have to worry about an old man like me?" Chen Fansheng said sarcastically.

"That's not what I meant..." Chen Qing explained hurriedly.

"Hmph!" Chen Fansheng went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Chen Qing stood in the yard somewhat helplessly.

He didn't tell Gao E about this, and he didn't know how to tell her.

His father probably also felt that it was Yang who made his mother angry to death, but he couldn't get angry with his daughter-in-law, so he blamed him.

That day, Gao E went to Qingtan Gorge to see the progress of the construction of the academy. Chen Ke knew she was coming and came to find her, and then followed her all the time.

"Is there something wrong, my husband?" Gao E saw Chen Ke lowering his head and looking reluctant to speak.

Chen Ke hesitated again and again: "Madam, can you give me some silver?"

Gao E looked at Chen Ke in surprise. Although Gao E had arranged all of Chen Ke's daily needs and gave him five taels of pocket money every month.

In Gao E's words, a man cannot be without money. Without money, he will have no confidence to speak.

On weekdays, Chen Ke rarely goes out to entertain guests, so he should have saved some money.

"How much does my husband need?" Gao E didn't ask him what he wanted the money for.

"Ten taels, ten taels is enough." Chen Ke smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, I'll ask Wu Yang to bring it over every night." Gao E nodded.

Chen Ke wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start: "Thank you, my lady. Then I will go to study first."

As soon as Chen Ke left, Lu Qingluo looked disgusted: "You are useless."

Gao E glanced at Lu Qingluo. Lu Qingluo was not convinced, but didn't say anything else.

A few days later, Chen Ke came back to ask Gao E for money.

"How much is needed this time?" Gao E was puzzled.

Chen Ke held up two fingers: "Twenty taels."

Hearing Chen Ke say this, Lu Qingluo put her hands on her hips and was about to question him, but Gao E immediately stopped her.

"Husband, wait a moment." Gao E went to get the silver for Chen Ke.

Chen Ke felt embarrassed and left with the silver.

"Is he not done yet?" Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E angrily.

Gao E is also easy to talk to and gives you what you ask for.

"Follow him." Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo unhappily.

"Okay." Lu Qingluo ran out excitedly.

According to Lu Qingluo, what's the use of having a man like Chen Ke? I really don't know why Gao E praises him so much.

As soon as Chen Ke walked out of the door, he gave the silver to his father and couldn't help complaining: "Dad, you should spend it sparingly. It's only been a few days."

Chen Fansheng was dissatisfied: "Dad gave birth to you and raised you. You live in such a big yard now. What's wrong with spending some of your money? Besides, I'm doing this for your own good."

Chen Ke didn't know how his father was doing good for him, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Chen Fansheng took the silver and left.

Lu Qingluo thought it was a big deal, at least Chen Ke had a mistress. Gao E was angry and divorced Chen Ke, but who knew it was that old man who wanted it.

Could it be that Chen Fan has a mistress?

Lu Qingluo went back and told Gao E somewhat dejectedly.

Gao E thought of what Uncle Sun said about Chen Fansheng always going to the clinic and looking for quack doctors. Could it be that Chen Fansheng bought health supplements?

When elderly people buy health supplements, they can spend all their money on them.

"Follow my father-in-law and see what he is doing." Gao E felt that this matter had to be clarified, otherwise it would be endless.

"I'm not going." Lu Qingluo was not interested in Chen Fan having a concubine.

"He spent my money." Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo. "And yours."

Lu Qingluo thought about it and went out.

Gao E laughed from behind.

After following Lu Qingluo for a day, he came back with a look of devastation on his face.

"What's wrong?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

"That Chen Fansheng met a Li Banxian in He County. He wanted to learn Taoism from him and become an immortal, so he bought a bunch of pills. The pills were made of stove soil, black from the bottom of the pot, and some Polygonatum powder. He wanted one or two taels of silver each, and they said it could prolong life." It was the first time Lu Qingluo knew that someone actually believed such a thing.

No wonder there are so many scammers. There are actually people who believe that they can make a living for three years after opening a business.

Gao E was not surprised to hear this. He really did buy health supplements.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingluo saw Gao E was still in the mood to laugh. "Why don't you take care of him quickly? With the speed at which he spends money, he'll spend all the gold and silver he has."

Gao E thought about it and felt that Chen Fansheng must have complete faith in Li Banxian now, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much money. She couldn't do anything about it, and neither could Chen Qing and the others.

After all, he is the elder, and I don’t know what trouble will arise if I tell him.

"Wait until Chen Fansheng goes to find that Li Banxian again. Once you have determined the location, report to the authorities and let them catch him red-handed." Gao E said in a low voice.

Lu Qingluo thought so too, and decided to make Chen Fansheng look bad at the same time.

She is not a member of the Chen family, so she has no idea that family disgrace should not be made public.

That night, Chen Ke came back to ask for money. This time, he kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Gao E at all.

He wanted fifty taels this time, and he knew it was a large sum of money.

Gao E directly took out a hundred taels of silver and asked, "What happened to you, sir?"

"It's nothing." Chen Ke didn't want to lie to Gao E, after all, Gao E gave him the silver directly.

"If there's anything, my husband must tell me." Gao E said with concern, "Now our Chen family can have a say in He County."

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded.

He took the silver and almost fled, not daring to say much to Gao E.

Lu Qingluo didn't say anything this time, just waiting for Chen Fansheng to go to He County tomorrow.

Chen Fansheng really lived up to expectations and went to He County early the next morning.

After Lu Qingluo determined the location, he went to report to the police. When Cao Geng heard that it was the Chen family's matter, he took people there. After pushing open the door, he was a little dumbfounded.

Chen Fansheng was shirtless, and a lady named Xu was sitting next to him crying.

Lu Qingluo widened her eyes. Jiang had just passed away, and Chen Fansheng couldn't stand the loneliness?

At this time, the bailiff brought Li Banxian over.

"Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life." Li Banxian didn't have the demeanor of a master at all. He kowtowed desperately to admit his mistake.

Chen Fansheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, not even bothering to put on his clothes.
