Farming and reading family

He was the eldest grandson of the Deng family, yet he was beaten by a peasant. How could he bear it?

Chen Zhenghui kicked Deng Zhuo to the ground and said, "Try to touch my brother."

Several guards were about to beat Chen Zhenghui.

Chu Rong hadn't made a move, but when he saw they were going to attack Chen Zhenghui, he finally made a move. He threw the four-sided mace, and several guards covered their wrists and screamed.

"You're dead." Deng pointed at those people and said, "I'll let my father kill you."

"Who is your father?" Gao E looked suspicious, wondering where this second-generation rich man came from.

Deng Yu came over quickly: "Who dares to hit my son?"

Gao E turned her head and saw Deng Yu.

Deng Yu's eyelids jumped. Why was Gao E here?

"Lord Deng?" Gao E looked at Deng Yu.

Deng Yu looked at the group of people and then at Gao E.

"Father, these peasants actually dared to attack me. You should kill them all." Deng pointed at Chen Zhengyan and the others with a vicious look on his face.

When the people of Baotou Village heard Gao E call the other party "Sir", they became alert instantly, but did not retreat.

Gao E didn't know what Deng Yu was doing here, but she knew it was no good. "Don't mess around now."

Deng looked at his father angrily and said, "I am the eldest grandson of the Deng family. Didn't father say that I can do whatever I want?"

Gao E snorted inwardly, what a noble family education, it was just like this, no wonder the Deng family would decline.

Deng Yu was a little embarrassed: "Don't make trouble, get back to the carriage first."

"Father!" Deng said unwillingly.

"Go back!" Deng Yu scolded.

Deng then reluctantly returned to the carriage.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam Chen." Deng Yu came here to ask Gao E for something, so naturally he had to be nicer. He could let his son suffer a little and then compensate him later.

Gao E then bowed and said, "It's just a fight between children. Zheng Yan, take your brothers home."

Chen Zhengyan bowed politely and left with his brothers.

Deng Yu looked at Gao E's children with some disdain in his eyes. The rules are set for the poor. As long as they always abide by the rules, the world will be peaceful.

Gao E noticed the disdain in Deng Yu's eyes: "What's the matter, Lord Deng?"

Deng Yu then smiled and said, "I've heard that your village of Batou is wealthy. Seeing you today, I can see that it is truly extraordinary."

Before getting down to business, you always have to lay the groundwork so that it won't be so awkward.

"Mr. Deng, thank you for your kind words." Gao E said nothing more.

Deng Yu just took a look around the village and was shocked. He felt that the unruly people should not live so well, as it would make them lazy and not work well.

"I wonder what Lord Deng is here for today." Gao E didn't chat with him.

Deng Yu put on a smile and said, "Honeycomb coal is indeed a good thing that benefits the people. But why do other people's honeycomb coals have a strong smell and burn for a short time, while your honeycomb coals have a small smell and burn for a long time?"

Deng Yu felt that there must be a secret recipe.

He failed to return the property to the family twice in a row, and the family was furious, so he promised this long-term source of income.

However, it is obviously impossible to transport honeycomb coal to various places, so they decided to use the Chen family's secret recipe.

Coal mines are not rare, and the Deng family can find a lot of them as long as they are willing to look for them.

"Lord Deng is asking about this matter." Gao E looked indifferent.

"If this method is promoted, more people can benefit from it." Deng Yu said sincerely.

"Actually, it's not a secret. There are all kinds of impurities in coal, including things with strong odors and incombustible gangue. Just wash it with water before making honeycomb coal. The light ones will float up and the heavy ones will sink, leaving the clean coal in the middle." Gao E said simply.

However, water-washing coal requires large equipment and a large amount of water, which is a troublesome task with current manpower.

Deng Yu had a serious expression on his face. He had sent people to secretly check out the honeycomb coal workshop in Jiming Mountain, but he hadn't seen such practices being done there.

Could it be that she had already washed herself in the mountains?

There is indeed a big river at Jiming Mountain, which is deep in the ground and has a fast-flowing flow.

"So that's how it is. I appreciate your advice, Madam Chen, you are so righteous." Deng Yu said in a high-sounding manner.

"As long as I can help Lord Deng." Gao E smiled slightly.

Deng Yu felt that Gao was trying to curry favor with him.

Now that he knew the secret recipe, Deng Yu didn't want to stay any longer: "I have some important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye, Lord Deng." Gao E didn't want to keep him either.

Gao E sent Deng Yu to the village entrance and watched Deng Yu's carriage go away.

"Father, why don't you kill those untouchables?" Deng said with a look of anger on his face.

"You can kill them, but you have to find a reason. If you don't have a reason, don't do it openly. Do it behind their backs." Deng Yu said with a smile.

"Then my father did it behind my back." Deng said directly.

Deng Yu smiled.

Gao E returned home and called all the children over. Seeing the injuries on their faces, she asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Chen Zhenghui said nonchalantly.

"You have been focusing on martial arts in recent years. You are different from your elder brother." Gao E saw that Zhenghui still wanted to fight for three hundred rounds.

Chen Zhenghui really felt that he didn't fight well.

"Zhengyan, tell me what happened today." Gao E looked at Chen Zhengyan.

Chen Zhengyan saluted. "That young man stepped in dog shit. My third brother saw it and started laughing. He then had his servants hold my third brother down and lick his shoes clean. I tried to reason with them but to no avail, so my second brother started fighting with them. The uncles in the village saw them bullying the weak and came to our aid."

Gao E was furious in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. "Next time, if you encounter someone so arrogant and domineering, and one who brings servants to guard the house, I will first ensure that I will not suffer any loss, and then go to the master immediately."

"I understand." The four children said in unison.

"As long as there is an adult with the other party, you should also find an adult. Not everyone is reasonable." Gao E taught.

"Then today's incident didn't cause any trouble for Nyonya, right?" Chen Zhengyan was a little worried.

Judging from my mother's attitude towards that person, that person must be an extraordinary person.

"I am your mother. You came to me. This is my business and I will handle it." Gao E looked at them.

The four people felt relieved when they heard their mother say this.

Gao E took the opportunity to teach them a lesson and then let them go.

After the children left, Gao E sat in the main room thinking about this matter. Even if Deng Yu came this time to ask something of her, she probably would not let this matter go.

Tao Meiyun came over after seeing the men unloading the coal briquettes and asked, "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Gao E laughed dryly.

"It looks like something's wrong with you." Tao Meiyu looked at Gao E.

"The children had a conflict with Lord Deng's son, and they all gave in." Gao E did not elaborate.

"Deng Yu, the prefect of Tanzhou?" Tao Meiyun was suspicious.

"You know him?" Gao E was surprised.

"I don't know him. I heard He Tangchun talk about him. He doesn't seem to be an easy person to get along with. How could he give in so easily?" Tao Meiyu looked unconvinced.
