Chapter 108 Trying on New Clothes

There was a commotion in the next yard over a box of cakes, and Chen Zhanshan and his wife naturally heard it all clearly.

Thinking of the day when Chen Zhancai came back and instigated Old Lady Chen to ask him for money, Chen Zhanshan felt depressed.

The third brother has lived in the town for these years and seems to have learned to enjoy himself and forgotten his original intention.

He is becoming less and less responsible. When he gets home, he treats his children like a big boss.

We used to live together and I had become numb and accustomed to it.

After moving out and living alone, I realized how wrong the third brother was...

He frowned and sighed, "Xiumei, it's a good thing we moved out and started living on our own, otherwise we would still be exploited by them in the old house."

Lin smiled faintly, "Who says it's not true? There are only the second and third sons left over there. Parents don't treat them equally, so it's normal for the Zhanliang family to have some complaints."

"My grandparents are so partial. Erbao has become so skinny that he can't even have an egg to eat, and yet my grandma wants to snatch a box of cakes and give it to Sister Ruolan.

Chen Jiye and Sister Ruolan have eaten all kinds of delicious food. They used to show off in front of Erbao and me, saying how much good food they had in town. Oh, Erbao is so pitiful.

Chen Han and Chen Erbao were both eight years old. He was only one month older than Chen Erbao. He wanted to protect Erbao from the bottom of his heart. What's more, they grew up together and were almost inseparable, so they had a very close relationship.

He put down the pen in his hand and raised his head, complaining indignantly on behalf of Chen Erbao.

Hearing his mumbling, Lin chuckled softly, "I know you have a good relationship with Erbao. If you have something delicious in the future, why don't you call him over to share it with you?"

Chen Han shook his head like a little adult, "Mom, Erbao also has self-respect. He knows that we have separated from my grandparents and are now two families. He is embarrassed to come to our house for dinner."

Seeing Chen Han worried about Erbao, Chen Qingqing smiled helplessly, "Xiaohan, you should focus on studying hard now. When you have the ability in the future, you can naturally take care of Erbao. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you help Erbao?"

Chen Han nodded heavily, "Sister, I know."

Chen Qingqing has always felt sorry for Chen Zhanliang's family. No matter how much they give, they will eventually be drained dry by the vampires in the third room. Instead of this, it would be better for them to live separately.

She was unwilling to leave because she must have hope for Chen Zhancai. After all, she had supported him for so many years. If he could really pass the imperial examination, it would be a prestigious thing in this small Nanshan Village. It would also make it easier for Dabao and Erbao to find a partner.

Furthermore, if Mr. and Mrs. Chen did not propose to divide the family, the second wife would be regarded as unfilial if she moved out, and would not be able to hold her head up in the village in the future.

At the beginning, Old Lady Chen drove out the eldest wife, divided the family, and broke off the relationship because she thought she could control Chen Zhanshan.

But she didn't expect that something unexpected would happen to her and she ended up losing both her money and her life. I guess Mrs. Chen must be regretting it to death now!

Chen Zhanshan smiled and said, "Well, we can't take care of the things going on in the old house. If your second uncle's family really can't make ends meet, they will naturally come to us for help. If we can help, we will definitely not refuse."

Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement. "Master, you're right. Zhan Liang and his wife are good people. They helped our family when we were in the most difficult time. Regardless of the quality of the gift, they helped us through the crisis at the time. I will definitely repay this favor when I have the chance."

Chen Qingqing agreed with a smile, "Mom is right, I agree with this approach."

"I agree too." Chen Han raised his hand.

Chen Zhanshan stood up with a smile and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, "Ever since Qing girl dug up the ginseng, our family's good luck seems to have come all of a sudden, and it can't be stopped.

I can earn ten cents every day in the town these days. Although it is not as much as Qing Yatou earns, ten cents a day is three hundred cents a month, and I can save more than three taels of silver in a year.

Qing girl, don't risk your life digging ginseng in the Wild Wolf Valley anymore, or your parents will worry."

"Dad, don't worry, I won't joke with my life."

In order not to make them worry, Chen Qingqing nodded obediently, but she didn't think that way in her heart. If she only relied on the three taels of silver her father earned, how could she support Chen Han's studies, and how could she open a restaurant for her elder brother Chen Feng in the future?

Besides, she was obsessed with the nine-leaf ginseng king on the mountain, so how could she not dig it up?

Although the current money is enough for her family to live a good life, she does not want to let her skills go to waste. She wants to open a clinic to help more people in need get rid of the pain caused by illness.

Of course, people like Fan Tong and Fan Hun are exceptions. She doesn't want to deceive people, but the magic ring given by the black and white ghost brother agrees with her to punish the evildoers, so she can't blame herself for having no medical ethics.

At this time, Lin was holding a set of clothes in her hand, and she said to Chen Qingqing with a smile, "Qing girl, come here and try on the clothes."

"Mom, you work really efficiently. My clothes are already ready in just a few days."

Lin was a little embarrassed by the compliment. "Mom saw you often went to town and always wore patched clothes. I was afraid that people would look down on you, so I took the trouble to make some clothes for you."

Lin heard from the wife of the village head that her daughter had made a bet with Chen Ruolan. Her daughter was sensible and was afraid that she would worry, so she didn't say a word about it when she came back. Fortunately, the wife of the village head told her, otherwise she would have been kept in the dark. So she worked day and night to make clothes for the past two days.

Chen Qingqing looked at Lin's red eyes, took the clothes and put them aside, pulled up her hands, and found that her hands were full of needle holes and bruises at the puncture points.

She felt a little distressed, "Mom, it doesn't matter what I wear. My daughter doesn't care about other people's eyes."

"That's true, but too many people nowadays are snobbish and tend to curry favor with those who wear bright clothes. Mother doesn't want you to suffer because of this." Lin said with a loving face, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go try on the clothes and see if they fit you."

"Yeah." Chen Qingqing nodded, took the clothes and went into the house, quickly changing them.

A pair of trousers and a short jacket. Although the fabric is not expensive, it is very comfortable to wear.

Lin's work on the waist part was particularly good, which highlighted Chen Qingqing's slender waist when worn. A circle of fine blue lace was carefully sewn at the neckline.

The apricot-colored dress makes her look even more beautiful.

Chen Qingqing came out and turned around in front of Lin. "Mom, your craftsmanship is really good. It fits me perfectly. Thank you, Mom."

Lin smiled and gave her a glare, "Why are you being so polite to your mother, kid?"

Chen Qingqing's heart was moved. She was no longer alone in this life.

She has a father who loves her, a mother who cares for her, an older brother who protects her, and a younger brother who adores her. It feels so good...
