Chapter 225 As long as our family is safe

Cen Yan felt that Old Man Cen’s attitude was very strange.

Why is he so obsessed with saying that his father is his son?

He spoke as if he cherished his father as his son, but in fact, he treated his father like a piece of trash.

Old Mrs. Cen, on the other hand, seemed to be confused, looking at this and that.

After a while, she suddenly laughed, and her tears came out: "So, Cen Dahai is really not your biological son? He is not the bastard born by you and that woman?"

"Shut up! Why are you talking nonsense in public?" Old Man Cen didn't expect that she would say this without any scruples at this time, in front of so many people, and he immediately reprimanded her harshly.

However, it was too late.

Old Mrs. Cen has such a loud voice that any little thing she mentions can be heard by half the village.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Old Man Cen with a gossipy look on their faces, surprised and curious. Could it be that Old Man Cen had another woman outside?

As expected of a scholar, he knows how to have fun!

Or is it that Cen Dahai is actually the old man Cen's lover, who gave birth to a bastard behind his back...

Did Old Man Cen decide to treat Cen Dahai's family so harshly because he was cuckolded by his old lover?

All kinds of good-intentioned or malicious speculations suddenly came to the fore.

"Grandpa Village Head, thank you for taking the trouble to come to my house to help today." At this time, Cen Yan expressed his gratitude to the Village Head.

"I'll be worried if I don't come, Cen Yan. I don't want anything to happen to you!" The head of the village looked at her meaningfully.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!" Cen Yan promised immediately.

"Well, that's good. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. If there's anything else I can help with in the future, just let me know." After saying this, the head of the village walked away.

Old Man Cen and his family also left.

Cen Yan and his family also returned.

Those who gathered outside to watch the fun naturally dispersed quickly.

"Dad, are you okay?" As soon as he entered the yard, Cen Yan immediately asked Cen Dahai with concern.

"Second brother, don't take to heart what the old man said. He just can't bear to see you do well." Cen Ying also said. What she said was what the old man Cen emphasized over and over again at the end.

"That's right, Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. Although you are a farmer, no one can predict what achievements you will make." Cen Yan said immediately.

What old man Cen said was really uncomfortable.

That sentence is like a psychological hint.

There is a person who keeps repeating in your ear that your life will be like this and you will never achieve anything...

Can you accept this kind of thing?

"Don't worry, I won't listen to a word he says in the future." Cen Dahai sighed, but he was not sighing because the quarrel between him and Old Man Cen had come to this point. Instead, he felt helpless. It seemed that his daughter still refused to believe that he really would never care about the old Cen family again!

"That's good, Dad. It's still early. If you are bored, go read some books with Brother Ji! Didn't you say before that you wanted to read the military books in his room?" Cen Yan smiled at him and suggested.

At times like this, reading is the best way to divert your attention.

Besides, Cen Dahai was indeed very interested in those military books.

"Uncle Cen wants to read military books? Let me recommend a few to you?" Ji Yunzhan said attentively after hearing this.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity to narrow the distance between him and Cen Dahai, and he must seize it.

Cen Dahai glanced at him.

If you want to talk to him as usual, don't pay too much attention to him.

However, after all, people are always soft-hearted and reluctant to give...

Since I need help with this order, I can't continue to be indifferent.

So, he had to try hard to look kind, nodded, said "hmm", and took the lead to walk in front and go to Ji Yunzhan's room.

Ji Yunzhan smiled and followed him forward.

Only Cen Yan and Cen Ying were left in the yard.

"I never thought that my second brother is really not the old man's son. Then who are his biological father and mother?" Cen Ying felt a little emotional and curious.

"Who cares who they are? Anyway, he is my father and my aunt's second brother. That's enough." Cen Yan sighed, "As long as our family is safe and sound, I don't want to know anything else, such as who my father's biological parents are."

"Well, I understand. Let's go and tell your mother the good news first. I guess she has been waiting anxiously." As Cen Ying said this, he took Cen Yan's hand and went into the house.

Li was naturally happy to hear the good news that she had completely severed ties with Mr. Cen.

On the other side, Cen Dahai entered Ji Yunzhan's room, and Ji Yunzhan enthusiastically recommended some books suitable for people who were just starting to learn about military books.

He was afraid that some of the characters were too complicated and Cen Dahai would not be able to understand them.

He kindly suggested that if there are words you don’t recognize or sentences you don’t understand, you can ask him.

In response, Cen Dahai just glanced at him speechlessly.

“I also read books when I was young, but later on, old man Cen stopped letting me read. But over the years, I have not forgotten at all about learning to read and write.” As Cen Dahai said this, he snatched the military book from Ji Yunzhan, walked to the side, found a chair to sit down, and then began to read with relish.

He reads very fast, almost one book a day.

After Ji Yunzhan told Cen Yan about it with amazement in his heart, Cen Yan was also very surprised.

But she doesn't have much time to pay attention to this.

Because I have to get busy with the thirty acres of land I bought earlier.

She is still preparing to improve the soil quality. The most busy task is to prepare the spiritual spring water. She needs to combine the spiritual spring water with other herbs to form a "potion" that can improve the soil quality. She will use this to irrigate the land and strive to completely transform the soil of the 30 acres of land as soon as possible.

Apart from that, we still need to recruit people.

The people we recruit must first be diligent and conscientious, and secondly, they must have good character.

These potions of hers are specially formulated and will surely become famous in the future because of their magical effect of improving soil quality.

But she didn't want these potions to be stolen...

When it came to choosing people, she actually didn't know much about the people in the village, so she shamelessly went to the village head's house and asked him to help introduce a few people who were willing to do the job and who were simple, kind, and trustworthy.

It’s actually easy to find people who can do the work.

After all, there are so many laborers in the village, and they usually go to the county town.

But if you can make money in the village, then naturally you will stay in the village.

"However, although you have already bought the land, hiring people alone is a considerable expense. Are you sure you can still come up with the money to pay them?" The head of the village was a little skeptical.
