There is a special reason why he doesn't want a wife.
On the one hand, it's because the Yuan Devouring Bottle is too special and he doesn't want to have one around him looking at it every day.
On the other hand, it is because his aesthetics has not yet integrated with the world, so he has not seen a woman who can make his heart beat.
But uncle is different.
He is already twenty-eight, so there is no reason why he should not want to get married and have children.
And when it came to marrying a wife and having children, he just left...
This reaction was too great.
There must be something fishy about this.
If you have time, you should inquire about it.
Chen Che silently remembered this in his heart.
…
Time passes day by day.
Chen Che helped watch the show during the day, came back to compete with his uncle in the evening, and went back to his room to practice silently at night.
After these few days, instead of forgetting about his uncle, he became more and more concerned about it.
Because he obviously felt that since he mentioned the marriage to his uncle, his uncle had become much silent.
…
It’s noon this day.
In a tavern opposite the Yuanbao Gambling House on Saqian Street, Chen Che and a young man wearing the uniform of the Sirius Gang were drinking and chatting.
The young man's name is Du Peng, he is also in the Qi and Blood Realm. He is twenty-six years old this year and has been a member of the Tianlang Gang for nearly ten years. He can be regarded as an old gang member.
After three rounds of drinking, Du Peng began to talk more.
"Brother, although you are young, your level of dealing with people is really this! You are worthy of someone who has studied before! You are just more sophisticated than us old guys!"
Du Peng said while giving Chen Che a thumbs up.
Although he was drunk, his words were not drunken words.
The young man in front of me can indeed be called an all-rounder.
It has only been more than ten days since I came to Tangkou, and I have become familiar with almost all the brothers in Tangkou.
This made him, who was somewhat dull by nature, extremely envious.
"Brother Du is joking. I only have some superficial ability to observe people's emotions. My real ability is still far behind."
Chen Che said modestly.
"Oh... you are still young, why are you anxious? As long as you wait a few more years, you will definitely have a great future. Then don't forget about me... burp!"
Du Peng burped while talking.
"That's natural!"
Chen Che decisively patted his chest in assurance, then lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Du, I want to ask you something."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Du Peng's tone was casual.
"As you know, my uncle Wang Zhen is already twenty-eight, but he has never wanted to get married. My mother was very anxious and asked him why but he didn't tell me. Do you know the reason?"
"belch……"
After Du Peng burped, his already red face turned a bit more serious.
"Don't tell me, I really know this...
Alas, it is indeed understandable that he does not want to get married."
"Brother, please give me more details."
Chen Che's heart moved and he quickly raised his glass and toasted Du Peng again.
Du Peng looked around and saw that there was no one at the table nearby, so he cautiously said: "The situation here is complicated...
Do you know that your uncle spent some time in jail three years ago?"
"Uh... I don't know."
Chen Che replied truthfully.
In fact, since my uncle joined the gang, he has rarely been around the family.
Apart from being imprisoned for stabbing Liu Agou, he really didn't know that his uncle had also been imprisoned before.
And what does jail time have to do with getting married?
Could it be that in this world, getting married depends on whether you have a good foundation?
"Your uncle was imprisoned three years ago...for insulting a decent woman! At that time, the news spread throughout the neighborhood!
What’s even worse is that the woman later hanged herself. If this happened, which other girl would dare to marry him?"
Du Peng came closer and said softly.
"What!"
Hearing this, Chen Che felt as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt from the blue, and he was a little confused.
My uncle insulted a decent woman three years ago... and even caused her to hang herself?
this……
After regaining consciousness, Chen Che began to search for memories about his uncle in his mind.
However, neither the memory left by the original owner of the body nor his own memory of contact with his uncle during this period could connect his uncle with insulting a good family woman.
Although my uncle was in a gang and dared to kill people, he had a bottom line. How could he do such a thing?
"Hey, can't you figure it out?"
Du Peng chuckled.
"Brother Du...could there be some secret hidden in this?"
Chen Che's tone was solemn.
He must figure this out today.
Du Peng sneered and said with some disdain: "Ah, to be honest, your uncle is indeed not that kind of person, but our hall master is that kind of person. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Che suddenly felt astonished when he heard this.
"He is taking the blame for the hall master..."
Upon hearing this, Du Peng quickly made a gesture of silence.
"I don't dare to say nonsense, I didn't see it with my own eyes, this is all my guess.
But nine times out of ten it is.
In fact, it's not just your uncle. There are several people in our hall who are from ordinary backgrounds and haven't taken the blame for him?
Let’s just talk about me. Once, the hall master took someone to collect a gambling debt and accidentally beat him to death. In the end, I did hard labor for more than half a year... It cost me forty or fifty taels of silver.
Can come out."
"There is such a thing..."
Chen Che whispered to himself.
He has actually met the hall leader Xu Feng once or twice.
The man looked smiling and easy to get along with. I didn't expect him to be such a person.
Du Peng then said again: "Oh, but this matter is not entirely without benefit.
how to say?
Only when you take the blame for the hall master can the hall master trust you completely.
It's equivalent to a certificate of surrender. Only by handing in a certificate of surrender can you be regarded as his and be able to live peacefully in the Langya Hall.
do you know?
In the past few years, there have been people who were unwilling to take the blame for him.
The results of it?
Those people were either disabled in disputes with other gangs, or died while escorting escorts outside the city...
Although your uncle took the blame, at least he is still alive, right?
It’s just that he was unlucky and took some blame.”
Chen Che frowned when he heard this, feeling very uncomfortable.
Du Peng asked back: "What? Your uncle never told you about this?"
Chen Che shook his head slightly.
Du Peng thought for a while and said: "I think your uncle seems to be very good to you. Maybe when it's your turn to take the blame, he will stand up for you.
He has already taken the blame anyway, so it doesn't matter if he takes the blame again.
Hehe, I have to say, you made a good uncle.
Why don't you just buy him a wife? It's not like our Sirius Gang doesn't have channels."
Chen Che said nothing.
After a long time, he stood up.
"Brother Du, thank you for letting me know. I'll treat you to this meal."
After that, he turned around, walked to the counter, put down some broken silver, and then left the tavern.
