In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 288 Figured it out
Chen Qingqing took a few people out of the dental clinic. To avoid any complications, she hired a horse carriage and drove towards Nanshan Village.
At this time, Erbao's eyes were full of fear, and he curled up in Sun's arms and trembled.
Sun's heart was broken. She hugged Erbao tightly in her arms and comforted him softly.
"It's okay, Erbao, don't be afraid. Mom will never let anyone bully you again."
Chen Zhanliang was also extremely distressed, his face full of self-blame and regret.
"Son, it's all Dad's fault. If Dad had listened to your mother earlier and separated from the family, your grandparents and your third uncle wouldn't have had such bad intentions towards you."
Sun shook her head and tears fell again.
"Zhanliang, this is not your fault. I have been wavering too.
Thinking that my third son would pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, our family would be exempted from taxes and corvée labor, and our lives would surely get better and better.
But I never thought my parents would be so shameless. They even sold their own grandson to support my third son. They are worse than livestock."
Hearing them mention the old man and his wife, Erbao came back to his senses from his fright and shouted loudly,
"They are not my grandparents, nor my third uncle. They are all bad people, bad people."
Sun gently stroked Erbao's head and comforted him, "Erbao, don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
"Erbao, don't be afraid. Dad is here. They won't dare to bully you." Chen Zhanliang also reached out and patted Erbao on the back.
Erbao looked up at Sun and sobbed as he began to complain about his grievances.
"Mom, my third uncle said he would take me to eat chicken legs and watch monkey shows, so I followed him. When I got to town, I met my grandparents. They took me to a strange place.
Those people were very aggressive, and they made me take off all my clothes, touched me all over my body, and even looked at my butt. Finally, they locked me in a small dark room..."
"These damned beasts are completely devoid of conscience. They will be punished and die a miserable death!"
Sun was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and wished she could tear these evil people into pieces immediately.
Chen Zhanliang clenched his fists tightly, and veins on the back of his hands bulged.
"I've worked so hard for this family, but I never thought they would do such beastly things for money. Cuiqin, don't worry, I won't compromise again this time."
Hearing them say this, Chen Qingqing knew that they were heartbroken.
Old man and his wife Chen have repeatedly provoked their two most filial sons. They have failed to treat their children equally, and it is only a matter of time before they separate and live separately.
It’s not too late for Second Aunt and Second Uncle to see through the truth now.
Xiaoyu, sitting in the corner of the carriage, lowered his head and thought about his own things. He had thought that he would leave here tonight, but it seemed that now was not the time for him to leave.
Chen Zhancai has no bottom line for his own selfish desires. If he sets his sights on Qing Yatou again, how will he repay his gratitude in the future?
Forget it, I'd better wait a little longer, at least until Chen Zhancai has solved the travel expenses for the exam.
The carriage soon arrived at Nanshan Village.
Dabao came back from Anyang County after delivering goods. When he heard that Erbao was taken to the town by Chen Zhancai, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Fortunately, Chen Zhanshan stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Dabao. Your sister Qingqing and the others have been gone for over an hour. They must have found Erbao by now."
"Uncle, it's impossible for someone like my Third Uncle to take Erbao to town for no reason. Who knows what evil plans he might have. I'm worried. I have to go find them."
Chen Zhanshan was also worried, "In that case, let's go together."
After they had walked a few steps, they saw a carriage driving into the village.
When the carriage stopped, Chen Qingqing and others jumped off the carriage one after another.
Dabao hurried forward, looking anxious, "Dad, Mom, you're back. Erbao, where did you go with Uncle San? Was he really so kind as to take you to buy delicious food?"
Erbao cried and threw himself into Dabao's arms, "Brother, I was deceived by my third uncle. He and my grandparents want to sell me off."
"What? They want to sell you out? Don't be afraid, Erbao. I'll settle the score with them later. Today I'm going to beat the shit out of Chen Zhancai." Dabao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Chen Zhanshan quickly persuaded him, "Dabao, calm down. Don't do anything stupid. If you hit a scholar, you will go to jail."
"I'm not afraid. Today I'm going to beat to death Chen Zhancai, that beast who eats people's food but doesn't take their shit. Even if I have to go to jail, I'm going to vent this anger in my heart."
Seeing Dabao staring with his eyes wide open and not afraid of death, Chen Qingqing was worried that he would do something stupid, so she came closer and lowered her voice and said,
"Dabao, Chen Zhancai really deserves to be punished, but if you get into trouble for a person like that, it's really not worth it. There are many ways to vent your anger. You can do it secretly, so you can vent your anger without being caught. Isn't that safer?"
Dabao understood what Chen Qingqing meant and nodded heavily, "Sister Qingqing, I'll listen to you."
Chen Qingqing didn't want to get too involved in other people's family affairs. No matter what Chen Zhanliang and his wife planned, she let them handle it on their own.
"Take good care of Erbao. If you need any help, just let me know. Remember, don't act impulsively. Think more about your parents and your brother."
"Don't worry, Sister Qingqing, I won't do anything stupid."
"That's good. You and your family should discuss how to solve what happened today."
"I've made up my mind. I'll go find the village head and ask him to come over and write a document. I want to divide the family property."
"If you've made up your mind, just do it. There's no need to look back. Remember, in this world, anyone can live without anyone else, and even live better."
Chen Qingqing said this deliberately for Chen Zhanliang and his wife to hear.
Although this couple is a little more cunning than their parents, Old Man Chen and his wife have indeed educated them very well, and at least they are very filial.
If Chen Zhancai had not been spoiled, he probably would not have become so selfish.
Chen Zhanliang nodded thoughtfully, "Qing girl, don't worry, I know what to do."
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded. She was not stupid. At least she understood what she meant. "Second Uncle, we can't help here. We will go back first."
"Okay, then walk slowly."
After sending Chen Qingqing and the others away, Chen Zhanliang's smile faded.
He should have left his biased parents and blood-sucking brother like the eldest wife long ago. That little bit of blood relationship almost killed his child. What is there to be nostalgic about?
"Dabao, go ask the village head to come over. I have something to say."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Seeing that his father had figured it out, Dabao's steps as he walked out of the house felt a little lighter.
Chen Zhanliang and Sun led Erbao into the yard and saw Liu Fengjiao leaning against the door frame and looking out.
The moment she saw Erbao, she was stunned for a moment. Something went wrong and her plan failed.
These three damn things can't even do such a small thing. They are such useless trash.
Now that the truth has been exposed, I guess the second house will be in chaos.
Thinking of this, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly turned and went into the house...
