Chapter 251 It's like asking her to exchange her life for money!

"Nothing." Cen Yan shook her head, looked at Cen Yang, and said, "Xiao Yang, I'm a little thirsty and want to drink sour plum soup. Can you go and pour me a glass?"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Cen Yang said obediently and walked out.

When Mrs. Li and Aunt Liu saw this, they looked at each other and knew that something must have happened.

Cen Yan wanted to send Cen Yang out to discuss something.

"Yan, what exactly happened?" Li's face looked a little serious.

"On my way back, I heard people in the village running and shouting, saying that all the people in the old Cen family were hacked to death..." Cen Yan's expression also became solemn.

"What? How could it be!" Li was shocked beyond words. "Who did it?"

"I don't know yet." Cen Yan shook his head. If it was the same as in his previous life, then when the government officials came to check, they would only say that he was killed by bandits...

"Could it be that he has made an enemy?" Aunt Liu speculated.

"It's hard to say." Cen Yan still shook his head.

"Yan, then, then our family..." Li's face turned a little pale.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Our family has completely severed ties with the Cen family. Nothing will happen." Although Cen Yan had no confidence at all, she still comforted Li.

When Aunt Liu heard her say that, she suddenly became a little scared.

Cen Yan looked at her and could understand her feelings: "Aunt Liu, if you are worried, you can go home and hide for a while, but I want to tell you one thing in advance. Our family is going to move to the county town. Do you want to continue to work with us or find another family?"

"Well, I have to go back and discuss this with my family." Aunt Liu hesitated.

The monthly stipend given by Cen Yan is very tempting.

Moreover, this does not include the deductions made by the middleman.

If she looks for other work, she is afraid that the broker will deduct money from her and her income will be much less.

But if I don’t leave now, or follow him to the county town…

"Then go home and discuss it now." Cen Yan said happily.

"But if I leave now, what about your mother and children?" Aunt Liu felt that it was too unkind of her to do so.

"It's nothing. I'm very free today. I can just stay at home and take care of my mother." Cen Yan said.

"...Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family now, and ask about Old Cen's family. I'll be back tonight!" Aunt Liu said, and left.

As soon as she left, Li wanted to pull Cen Yan aside to talk about the murder of the old Cen family.

However, at this time, Cen Yang came over carefully with a bowl of sour plum soup.

"Sister, your sour plum soup is ready."

"Okay, Xiao Yang is becoming more and more capable." Cen Yan comforted him with a smile.

I had just taken two sips of sour plum soup when someone came home and knocked on the door.

"Yan..." Li was still a little scared.

"It's okay, Mom. I'll go take a look." Cen Yan glanced at Li and comforted her. Then he put down the sour plum soup in his hand and went to open the door.

"Xiao Yang, come here." Li called Cen Yang to the bedside and held her hand tightly.

Cen Yang didn't know what happened, but he was very keenly aware that something bad might have happened, so he immediately came out to comfort her: "Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Xiao Yang is so sensible..." Mrs. Li listened to her son's childish words, and suddenly all the fear in her heart disappeared.

Outside, Cen Yan opened the door and saw that it was Chen He, the grandson of the village head.

"Why are you here? What happened?" Cen Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him.

"Is everything alright at home?" Unexpectedly, Chen He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her open the door.

"It's okay." When Cen Yan heard him say that, he immediately guessed what it was about, but his face remained expressionless.

"That's good. The entire Cen family was hacked to death with a knife... no one was left alive, including the elderly and children. As soon as my grandfather heard the news, he thought of your family and asked me to come back quickly to check on them..." Chen He said, looking at her.

"Is this actually true?!"

Cen Yan showed a look of shock. "On the way back, I vaguely heard someone talking about it, but I just listened to it and didn't take it seriously at all! Who would have thought that this was actually true?! Who did this? In the village, is there no movement at all? Didn't anyone notice it in advance?"

She asked a series of questions.

However, after hearing this, Chen He just shook his head and said, "We still don't know anything. This is really strange because there is really no movement at all... My grandfather told you to close all the doors in your house and not open them to anyone easily. Don't go out for the next few days. When the government officials come and start investigating this murder case, you should move out quickly during this time."

"I see." Cen Yan nodded. "Grandpa Lizheng really always remembers me. Brother He, thank you for making this special trip."

"What are you thanking me for? My grandfather treats you as his own granddaughter, and I also treat you as my own sister. Well, I'm going to go back and assure grandpa that he is safe. Take care of yourself." After Chen He finished speaking, he left.

Cen Yan glanced outside and found that many people were pointing at their own door and talking, but they were actually watching the fun.

Obviously, the whole village was shocked by what happened to Old Cen's family.

And their family was separated from Lao Cen's family.

Cen Yan closed the door and walked into the house. Suddenly, he thought of the unborn child in Yu's belly...

If it weren't for this unexpected disaster, her child would have been born in a few months!

well.

She sighed and went into the house.

"Who's here?" Li was listening to the voices outside the room. She felt relieved knowing that no one was breaking in. But when she saw Cen Yan enter the room, she immediately asked.

"It's Brother He. The village head asked him to come. After seeing that everything was fine at our house, he left again." In front of Cen Yang, Cen Yan didn't want to say much, nor did she want to send him out again.

After hearing this, Li nodded with relief.

Both mother and daughter were silent.

When Aunt Liu left, she said she would be back in the evening.

But unexpectedly, she came back not long after.

However, she looked very happy when she left, but when she came back, she was carrying a package and her eyes were red.

"What's wrong?" Cen Yan and Li asked immediately when they saw her like this, wondering if she was bullied at home.

"Well, it's nothing to say. I went back and told my husband what my boss said to me today. He scolded me and asked me which is more important, money or life. Then he sent me back." After Aunt Liu said this, her eyes became even redder.

After hearing this, Cen Yan and Li didn't know what to say.

Aunt Liu's husband said this...

It's like asking her to exchange her life for money!

After all, if disaster really happened to Cen Yan's family, any normal person would not be willing to let his wife come over at this time!
