"Chen Da Lei, what are you talking about? Who is being petty?"
When Chen Sanyou heard this, he became angry. He took off one of his shoes and threw it at him: "Get out of here! Don't pretend to be virtuous in front of me."
These words reminded him of the past for no reason, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
Damn Chen Da Lezi and Chen Bald Head! How dare he come to your door to ridicule me if you ignore him.
When Chen Changsheng saw Chen Sanyou suddenly furious, knowing that this guy was going crazy and beating someone again, he quickly ran away. After running far away, he turned around and yelled:
"You old thing! I'm talking to you so nicely and you hit someone! Just wait! I'm going to tell the clan leader that the older you get, the worse you get. It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"
Of course Chen Changsheng did not go to the clan leader, because the clan leader was Chen Sanyou's eldest brother, and going to him alone would be asking for trouble.
Angrily, he walked back with his hands behind his back, and met Chen Laoshuan on the way, so he pulled him and started to judge.
"Do you think that Chen Sanyou is angry? I talked to him properly, but he actually hit me with his stinky shoes...
Who am I doing for? That Dongcun doesn’t do anything serious all day long, but actually creates some mess, which makes the villagers in our village start to feel uneasy about farming, what’s the matter? I will tell Li Zheng later and let him take good care of it.
.”
Chen Laoshuan glanced at him and said calmly: "Then you should go quickly, you will be late and will not be able to catch up with lunch."
Chen Changsheng: ...Everyone is full of yin and yang, just like Chen Ergou!
"Huh!" He snorted, turned around and walked away. He was really a rat in the bellows, chewing on both ends.
Chen Laoshuan ignored him and went home alone.
He still remembers how this guy was so unkind and got him slapped. Now his butt feels a dull pain every time it is cloudy.
And I have a lot of worries, so I don’t have time to listen to other people’s complaints.
This year, his second son failed the college entrance examination, and Chen Laoshuan was so depressed that he couldn't even eat.
Before reaching the door of the house, I heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling coming from the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han, beating her child with a bamboo stick shamelessly.
Granddaughter Chen Wan is nine years old this year, and she can look like her husband's family. The Han family is still working hard and is not afraid that the child will be beaten up and will not find a good family in the future.
"That's enough! Are you done yet?"
For the first time in his life, Chen Laoshuan angrily scolded his second daughter-in-law, "Look what a beating Wan'er got? What on earth are you making such a fuss about?"
Mrs. Han was startled by her father-in-law's sudden scolding and quickly stopped.
Chen Laoshuan was especially upset and continued: "Ms. Han, I'm not talking about you. Look at the noise you made at home. Which of the neighbors on the left and right wouldn't secretly poke our family's backbone? Can we calm down a little bit? Let Erlang go.
If you can’t lift your head when you go out, why bother reading?”
Han didn't dare to reply, threw away the bamboo stick, turned around and entered the room.
Chen Wan sobbed for a while and ran out of the yard.
Chen Laoshuan ignored it and went back to his room angrily.
Mrs. Feng was sitting on the kang spinning flax. She glanced at him and asked, "What happened today? He suddenly started to discipline people."
Chen Laoshuan sat down on the edge of the kang, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang. He picked up a small teapot and drank a few sips. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Do you think that kid from the Jiang family in East Village is the second child in our family?"
of?"
Feng did not raise her head while she was arranging the thread: "Who knows, you don't care, why did you suddenly mention this?"
Chen Laoshuan took another sip of tea and said, "Others say that the Jiang family has made a fortune. First they caught big fish, then they planted gold ears, and now they have created a magic gourd. Even outsiders came to see it.
…”
"You finally believe it?"
Mrs. Feng immediately became energetic, stretched her neck and said: "I also saw the magic gourd, but unfortunately I couldn't touch it. It is said that if you touch it, you will have good luck. Look at the poor ghosts in the East Village, they are all in high spirits now.
Tsk tsk, at first I tried to persuade Erlang to touch it, but he just refused. Alas, now I have no choice but to touch it. The magic gourd was sold by the Jiang family. Hmph, the whole family is short-sighted, so you know
He accepted the money and actually sold all the treasures given by the gods."
Chen Laoshuan stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Tell me, if we recognize the child, will Erlang be sure of his success in the hospital examination?"
"That's right!" Ms. Feng slapped her thigh, "We should have come back a long time ago. It's embarrassing for a good little fairy boy. I'm not talking about Ms. Han. She is a very unlucky woman and won't do anything serious.
My son, I finally gave birth to a useful child, but she was thrown away. Our second husband married her and it was a bad luck for eight lifetimes."
"Okay!" Chen Laoshuan glared at his old wife, "Don't keep your mouth shut and say whatever you say."
Feng moved the spinning wheel, got off the kang, patted her clothes and said, "I'm going to ask Han where the child was thrown."
Chen Laoshuan was speechless, only holding the teapot and squinting in thought.
Mrs. Feng walked to the door of the second room and shouted loudly: "Ms. Han, come out and let me ask you something."
It took a long time before Mrs. Han raised the curtain and left the house, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Feng rolled her eyes at her second daughter-in-law, pushed her aside and walked into the room.
Chen Changping was sitting at his desk copying the Book of Rites and ignored his mother's arrival.
Mrs. Feng sat down on the chair next to her, glanced at her daughter-in-law, who had followed her, and said, "You and your wife are here today. I just want to ask, is the girl picked up by Jiang Sanlang's family in East Village one of ours?"
Chen Changping frowned, put down his brush and turned to look at my mother: "Mom, why do you think of asking this? I'll say it again, the child picked up by the Jiang family has nothing to do with us."
Feng's mouth twitched, and she turned to ask her second daughter-in-law, "Do you think so too?"
Mrs. Han glanced at her husband quietly and summoned up the courage to say, "Mom, let's go to Jiang's house and have a look."
"Mr. Han!" Chen Changping became angry. He suddenly stood up and overturned the chairs, "If you don't think it's embarrassing, I do!"
Then he said to Feng: "Mom, can you calm down? Why should I be in the mood to study if I'm so noisy?"
He failed to pass the college examination for several years in a row, and his mood was extremely low. Although he changed schools to study in several schools, he had little success.
So he studied at home and had no plans to go to the county school for the time being.
Unexpectedly, things are not quiet at home either. The children are crying and the adults are noisy. Now they are mentioning the children they lost a few years ago.
When he heard this, he felt as if he had eaten a fly, as if the most secret, fearful, and regretful scandal deep in his heart had been dug up, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
Seeing that her son was very resistant to this matter, Mrs. Feng did not dare to say anything, so she had to get up and leave.
Han also followed out.
The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
When the two of them left the yard, Chen Feng asked: "Ms. Han, what do you think? Is that child really ours?"
Mrs. Han nodded: "I think, mother, we might as well go and take a look quietly without letting my husband know."
There had been no movement in her stomach for more than three years, and Mrs. Han became increasingly anxious. If it hadn't been for the trouble Chen Ergou's wife had caused last time, she would have wanted to go to Jiang's house and steal the child back.
Whenever she mentioned recognizing the child to her husband, he immediately turned against her and refused to give her a good look for several days.
Today, my mother-in-law suddenly asked me about it, which was exactly what Han wanted.
"Well, it's settled. We and I will go to the Jiang family when we have time. If it's not from our family, we can't rely on the Jiang family." Feng touched her hair and said to her second daughter-in-law.
: "Mr. Han, I told you not to make Erlang angry in the future. The noise every day makes his brain hurt. How can he study well?"
Mrs. Han was very obedient this time. She lowered her eyebrows and responded, "I understand, mother."
"No! Someone jumped into the river!"
Suddenly, villagers' calls came from the distance: "Come quickly! Help!"
"Who jumped into the river?" Some villagers came out of their homes.
"Go and take a look. It seems that a child has jumped into the river."
"Oh, whose child is this? It's so hard to think about..."
Several villagers hurried towards the sound.
Han and Feng glanced in that direction, but didn't take it seriously and turned around to go back to the house.
