When Uncle Chen fell down like this, the aggrieved brothers were stunned.
Brother Chen, who was standing at the door and was closest to his father, stepped forward and supported him.
Only then did I realize that my father's eyes were closed tightly, but his hands and feet were trembling. This looked like what the town doctor said...a stroke!
People who are slightly older are prone to this disease. If it occurs, hemiplegia may occur in mild cases and the hands and feet cannot be used. In severe cases, life may be lost!
Thinking of the latter, Brother Chen's expression changed drastically: "Dad is sick, we have to send him to the hospital!"
The other brothers also gathered around, carried him, looked for help, and quickly sent him to the town.
With such a big battle, everyone in the village knew about Fourth Uncle Chen's illness. Naturally, some people were curious about the cause... You must know that for all strokes, a small number of them occur on their own, and most of them are due to urgency or anger.
Recently, the Chen family is preparing to split up, and each of the brothers has their own thoughts. Whoever has so many sons would probably get angry, right?
The daughters-in-law of the Chen family did not want to hide this. They straightforwardly told everything that had just happened.
Everyone looked surprised.
The Taohong that Boss Chen wants to marry is really a liar as Tian Guihua said. He has already taken the money and run away!
The money he took away was the family savings that Mr. Chen stole!
Those savings were obtained in exchange for grain after this year's autumn harvest. When the brothers divide their families this time, apart from the family land, that is the most valuable thing to share!
Fourth Uncle Chen was so angry that his son gave away all the money he had saved for most of his life!
Tian Guihua, who was recuperating at her neighbor's house, woke up in the morning and was hesitating where to stay after leaving her neighbor's house. She then learned what happened to the Chen family. In fact, for Tian Guihua today, her natal family didn't care about her, and Xiaoye took care of her.
She has been there for several days, and they will definitely not let her in again. The only place she can go to is the Chen family.
Just now she was planning to hang out in front of Chen's house after going out... Unexpectedly, she heard about this.
The aunt who brought her back was an enthusiastic person. After explaining the matter, she helped her analyze the stakes: "The brothers have said that if Taohong cannot be found and the silver cannot be recovered, the three taels of silver will have to be left to Chen.
The boss will return what he earns to them."
Tian Guihua had no intention of leaving the Chen family, and she had a strong sense of substitution. If the family were to be separated, and she had no foundation at all, she would be in debt for three to three liang! Thinking about it is suffocating.
Especially her sisters-in-law, who are not easy to mess with. They usually use guns and sticks to criticize Sang and Huai. If she owes them money, she still can't afford to pay it back... I'm afraid that every day will be miserable.
For a moment, Tian Guihua had the intention of quitting.
The Chen brothers sent their father to a medical clinic in the town. After the doctor looked at it, he determined that it was a stroke. Fortunately, he was sent in time and after acupuncture, he could barely save his life. But he wanted to get out of bed again...
It is absolutely impossible.
In other words, Uncle Chen is paralyzed!
The sisters-in-law and others took precautions, and when the brothers and brothers helped him back to the village, everyone knew that Uncle Chen's illness was all caused by Boss Chen.
There is another very important thing. All the thirty-odd copper coins that Ye took out were given to the medical clinic, and only two sets of medicine came back. This was the result of the brothers' pleading.
After spending all the copper coins, they could only think about it long term if they wanted to find a carriage to chase Tao Hong.
Boss Chen was not good to his wife, but he still had basic respect for his father. When he saw his father lying unconscious on the bed, he felt a little guilty. He knelt in front of the bed, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time.
The brothers outside discussed it and asked Brother Chen to come out. The second brother Chen said: "Brother, dad is sick. We are all sad, but now is not the time to be sad. The most important thing is to treat dad. The doctor said
As long as he takes medicine on time and takes good care of himself, dad can still get out of bed and even eat and work by himself."
"This disease must be cured! However, our money has been taken away by Taohong, so we must find someone."
He said it eloquently, and the three brothers beside him all looked in agreement. Boss Chen knew that they had discussed it before, and nodded: "You are right, I have no objection."
The three brothers below were a little anxious. Brother Chen gave them a reassuring look and said, "We came here to tell you something. Let's go find Taohong. If everything goes well, we can recover the money and cure my father. Naturally, everyone will be happy."
But what if I can’t find it?”
Mr. Chen made a trip himself, knowing that there was little hope of finding the person. When he heard this, he was confused: "If I can't find him, I can't find him. What can I do?"
"When we are looking for someone, we can't just rely on our legs. Even if we drink the northwest wind, we won't be able to fill our stomachs. We have to hire a carriage, right? We have to eat and drink, right?" Brother Chen asked in return, and continued: "My dear brother is here to settle the score and come to you.
I just want to tell you that if this person cannot be found, you will have to pay back all the expenses along the way!"
Boss Chen: "..."
After talking for a long time, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.
He had searched for it once, and he really wanted to recover the money. He didn't have high hopes of finding the person, and frowned and said, "I don't think I can find him."
Brothers: "..."
Anyone who knows that their share of money will be squandered will be angry. Brother Chen endured his anger and said, "What about what you want?"
Boss Chen didn't know what to do either.
At this time, he regretted that he had not listened to Tian Guihua.
In other words, he felt some blame Tian Guihua for not speaking up earlier. What's more, he felt some blame Tian Guihua for being so stubborn and irritating Xiaoye, so much so that he attracted the liar Tao Hong.
Thinking of this, Boss Chen's heart moved and he suggested: "Taohong is a liar, right? Can we report it to the government? Are we afraid that the government can't find someone when they are looking for someone?"
The eyes of the brothers lit up. Brother Chen was so anxious that he wanted to set off immediately. He hurriedly asked: "Brother, what do you say about the travel expenses? If you admit that you will pay it back in the future, I will go to the county to report it to the official now!"
Boss Chen didn't want to agree and looked left and right, but didn't look into the brothers' eyes.
Three taels of silver is already a lot. After the separation of the family, the land allocated to him should only be enough for the three of them to eat and drink. I am afraid that he will not be able to pay off the debt in this life. If it is more... what will happen to the two sons in the future?
Chen Laosan was anxious: "Brother, you have to be responsible. If you were a man, you should agree to this."
The other brothers also tried to persuade him, but their words were similar. The meaning was the same: the incident was caused by Mr. Chen, and all the expenses incurred had to be repaid by him.
The sisters-in-law and others stood not far away with their arms folded, fearing that their family would suffer a loss.
Mrs. Ye sat in front of the bed and watched over the old man, listening to the arguments among the brothers outside. It seemed that the eldest son was stubbornly refusing to agree, and gradually, the commotion outside became louder and louder.
Tears burst out of Ye's eyes, and she lay on the edge of the bed crying: "Retribution...it's all retribution..."
Brother Chen was besieged by everyone, so he reluctantly agreed. Brother Chen received a satisfactory answer and immediately went out to find a carriage.
There were not many carriages in the town, so it was inconvenient for everyone. In desperation, they found Chu Yunli.
Therefore, Chu Yunli got the news an hour after the incident happened.
She was not in a hurry to hitch the carriage, and listened to Brother Chen with great interest. She shook her head and said, "It's inconvenient. You can find someone else."
Brother Chen: "..." I feel like you are playing tricks on me!
Chu Yunli saw what he was thinking and said calmly: "Everyone in the village and town knows that I have to pick up and drop off two children every day. If I go to find someone with you, I may not be able to come back in the afternoon."
Brother Chen wanted to ask the Liu family's generous couple to pick him up, but he was afraid that she would push him away, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I have a lot of family members, so I'll ask someone to pick them up for you."
Chu Yunli shook her finger: "No."
Before Brother Chen could ask, she had already said to herself: "Some things cannot be said to have happened. At that time, our mother and son were harmed so badly by your Chen family that we almost couldn't find a place to stay. When we came back, we were bullied by Xiao Ye's family.
No. These are all caused by you. It would be magnanimous of me not to seek revenge from your family. If you want me to help you... there is no way!"
Brother Chen felt that he was wronged.
The adoption of the child was not so much a matter of family discussion as it was a matter of discussion between Shuangqing and Dafang. The brothers just did not stop it.
Firstly, the adoptive children were the children of the eldest family, and it was not their turn to say yes or no. Secondly, if Chen Chuanyuan had studied, he would have taken care of his cousin. Thirdly, Chen Changfu had a lot of money at that time. If Chen Chuanyuan was allowed to
Come on, even if he doesn't share it with his cousins, they can always borrow it, right?
In short, Chen Chuanyuan’s adoption will be beneficial to the rest of the Chen family!
But the one who got the benefit was clearly the eldest brother, and because they didn’t separate the family, their second brother was also resented by this woman!
Anyone who is well-informed knows that Li Nianqiu bought wasteland in the town to grow sugar sticks, and made sugar that was purer than the Zhang family, making a lot of money. Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a person?
As a result, because of Dafang's incident, not only did he fail to make friends with her, but he even developed a grudge against her. This injustice... there was simply no place to talk about it.
If there hadn't been such a trouble in the big house, now Li Nianqiu is still Chen Changfu's wife, and there is no issue of adoption, and their family will not have any grudge against Chen Changfu. With Chen Changfu's close admiration for his parents, the Chen family wants to "borrow" money.
Isn't it easy?
There are only two words in Brother Chen's mind right now: Regret!
regretful!
Very regretful!
If he could, he just wanted to beat himself to death while hanging high at that moment.
