Chapter 231: Stopping You From Leaving

Ji Yunzhan rushed over, held one of the merchants by the shoulder, and with a clever move, pulled Cen Dahai behind him.

Cen Dahai realized Ji Yunzhan's kung fu and was stunned for a moment, then quickly hid behind him.

"When these people saw me, they insisted that they had seen me before and asked me if I had ever been to Pingcheng. I have lived in these mountains all my life and have never been to Pingcheng. I explained to them, but they didn't believe me. I wanted to go home quickly, but they wouldn't let me." Cen Dahai explained helplessly.

"My friends, you may have recognized the wrong person?" Ji Yunzhan said to the businessmen after hearing this.

And this businessman is none other than Boss Du.

After seeing the excitement in Lao Cen's old house and confirming that his future bride was indeed having an affair with another man, he planned to take a walk around the village.

Then, I met Cen Dahai.

The reason I stopped Cen Dahai just now was simply to find out who he was.

But now, this person who suddenly appeared was obviously a powerful martial artist, which made him dare not act rashly again.

"Maybe I recognized the wrong person, but this brother looks very much like an elder I know, and I was really curious... So, I couldn't help but stand there and wanted to ask a few more questions, but I offended this brother. I apologize to you." Boss Du said politely, and he really bowed his head to Cen Dahai and apologized seriously.

On the side, Cen Yan's eyes flickered when he heard this.

"There are many people in this world who look alike. It's nothing strange to meet you. We have something to do at home, so we'll leave now. Bye." After Cen Yan said this, he immediately pulled Cen Dahai to leave.

Several people around Boss Du wanted to stop him again.

But Boss Du raised his hand to block it.

He nodded towards Ji Yunzhan.

Ji Yunzhan glanced at him, then left without any expression, following Cen Yan and Cen Dahai.

"Boss, didn't you say that this man looks like General Cheng's son? And General Cheng has been secretly looking for his real son, and the one in his family is a fake... Maybe this man is it? And, even if he is not, then if we bring him back and pretend to be him, maybe he can climb up to General Cheng's high branch." After Cen Yan and the other two walked away, an attendant beside Boss Du said this.

"Do you think it's easy to climb up the high branch of the Cheng family?" Boss Du frowned when he heard this.

He lectured his followers, "Whether this person is right or not, we can't do anything. Otherwise, even if we do a little more, it will make the Cheng family unhappy. A family like the Cheng family has no shortage of people who want to curry favor with them and climb up their social ladder. But look at these years, which insignificant person has succeeded?"

"But, are we going to let go of such an opportunity?" The man felt a little regretful.

After hearing this, Boss Du fell silent.

It would be a pity to give up like this.

But when dealing with the Cheng family, one must be careful to grasp the limit and not cross the line even a little bit.

He soon came up with an idea.

"It's okay to go and give the Cheng family a tip. Besides, the northern border has been unstable recently, with frequent wars, so conscription is inevitable. I see there are quite a lot of young and middle-aged people in this village, so maybe it would be a good idea to recruit soldiers here." Boss Du said meaningfully.

"I understand!" The follower's eyes quickly lit up when he heard it, and he understood what his boss meant.

"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go back." Boss Du looked at the sky and suddenly smiled. "Although I didn't get a wife, meeting that old man just now is a very good gain."

After saying that, he led his men and left the village.

On the other side, Cen Yan, Cen Dahai and Ji Yunzhan returned home, and none of the three spoke for a while.

After a while, Cen Dahai took the initiative to say, "Well, Xiaoyan, if there is nothing else, I will go and take care of your mother."

Having said that, he was about to leave.

"Dad, why did you go out today?" Cen Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I heard about Cen Shuang's situation, so I went to take a look, but I just took a look and left without stopping." Cen Dahai said awkwardly, "I definitely didn't mean to help."

"I know, Dad, you don't have to be so nervous." Cen Yan sighed, thought about it, and said to Cen Dahai, "Those people today were all called over by Cen Shuang. This is all a show. She used this method in order to marry Wei Zan."

She spoke very vaguely and did not say directly that she was the one who helped Cen Shuang complete the scene.

But when Cen Dahai heard it, he understood.

He opened his mouth, then nodded, said nothing, and went to find Li.

"What the businessman just said, could it be that the elder who looks like Uncle Dahai is Uncle Dahai's biological father?" Ji Yunzhan couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows." Cen Yan shook his head. "However, these strangers suddenly appeared in our village and stopped my father... I can't trust them. As for my father's biological parents, I think it doesn't matter whether we can find them or not. Anyway, I can support my father. His biological parents have never appeared to look for him for so many years, which shows that they are dispensable."

When Cen Yan said this, there was actually some resentment in her voice.

But it's true.

What's the point of giving birth but not raising a child, even if there is blood connection between the child and the mother?

The suffering that Cen Dahai endured might even be caused by his biological parents.

If he had been born in another family, he would not have suffered so many years.

Cen Yan was very open-minded about these things.

When Ji Yunzhan heard her say this, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said nothing more.

…

…

The marriage of Cen Shuang and Wei Zan was quickly completed under the auspices of the village head.

The head of the village gave them enough face.

The reason why he was willing to do this was that he didn't want to embarrass Miss Cen Shuang. After all, it was he who guided the two families in arranging the marriage. Even if others wanted to talk about something, they would never dare to say anything unpleasant in front of her.

However, the Cen family may not be grateful for this.

But that’s all in the past.

For this marriage, Wei Zan did not give too much dowry, only twenty taels of silver in total.

After all, most of the fifty-five taels were spent on gambling by Wei's father.

The night before Cen Shuang's wedding, Yu sat down next to her. Seeing how happy she was, her tears suddenly fell.

"Mom, tomorrow is a good day for me, why are you crying here?" When Cen Shuang saw her like this, his face sank.
