Chapter 6 Someone Always Sacrifices

Chen Zhanshan stared at Old Lady Chen in amazement, unable to believe that these words came from his own mother's mouth.

She actually agreed to become a eunuch?

Does she know what it means to be a eunuch?

He must have misheard what my mother said, that's for sure...

Old man Chen was also stunned, and asked in surprise, "Old woman, what are you talking about?"

Old Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes and cleared her throat.

"Old man, since the boss can't bear to leave Qing girl and wants to take on everything himself, someone will have to sacrifice anyway, so I think this is not a bad idea.

Working in the palace is a pretty good job. Not only do you eat well and wear warm clothes, but you also get a monthly salary. It's much better than suffering at home."

"Come on, old woman, forget it. Do you know what entering the palace means? It means cutting off your penis. Without that thing, how can we continue the Chen family lineage?"

"Our Chen family is quite prosperous. The eldest has two sons, the second has two sons, and the third is still young and has plenty of opportunities to have children.

The eldest brother now has a successor. He entered the palace and has the money to arrange a marriage for his son Chen Feng, saving him from having to work as an apprentice in a restaurant in town.

Old man Chen was a little tempted, but when he thought about cutting off his lifeblood, he felt cold under his feet. Although the old woman's analysis was good and that the advantages of the eldest son entering the palace outweighed the disadvantages, he still shook his head.

"No, no, no, I feel a chill on the back of my neck just listening to this. It would hurt so much to cut that thing off! Most people can't stand that kind of pain."

"Look at your little achievement, and you won't get anything. Why are you grinning here? Since Qing girl doesn't want to marry Li the butcher, and the boss doesn't want Chen Han to suffer, then let him serve in the palace." Old Lady Chen made the final decision.

Old man Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Qing girl doesn't want to marry, so this is the only way."

Chen Zhanliang shook his head like a rattle, "Dad, Mom, you can't let my eldest brother go down this path. Even if my third brother doesn't pass the exam, so what? I think as long as our family is together, it's more important than anything else."

Old Lady Chen glared at the talkative Chen Zhanliang with dissatisfaction, "Shut up right there. If you want to feel sorry for your elder brother, you can go to the palace."

Chen Zhanliang was so frightened that he trembled. He immediately shut up and tightened his crotch, fearing that the thing would be hit.

Chen Qingqing curled her lips and smiled. The fox tails of the old man and his wife were exposed. For the sake of money, they would do anything to achieve their goals. They even gave up their own son. How great!

Chen Zhancai's eyes lit up. If the eldest brother entered the palace to work, he would have money every year. Not only could he support his studies, but he might also have enough money to redeem Ruhua from Chunfeng Tower. Then he could be with Ruhua openly, and enjoy the happiness of having two wives.

He suppressed the joy in his eyes and said hypocritically, "Brother, you can go to the palace without worry. As long as I am at home, I will never let my sister-in-law suffer any grievances."

"Third brother is right." Old Lady Chen looked at Chen Zhanshan and her expression softened rarely. "Big brother, pack up and go to Qingshui Town to register tomorrow. Enter the palace as soon as possible so that your third brother can also enter the academy earlier."

Liu Fengjiao's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She was rich, rich. As long as the eldest brother entered the palace, even if Qing girl didn't want to get married, she probably wouldn't be able to do so.

When the time comes, after she is knocked unconscious by a dose of sleeping pills, you can decide who to marry her to.

She suppressed her smile and said, "Brother, we will definitely take good care of your sister-in-law and the children for you, so you can go without worry!"

Chen Zhanshan's face was dazed, and his heart was broken as he listened to his closest relatives pushing him into the abyss.

He was just trying to scare his parents, thinking that he worked hard at home and that they cared about him. He never expected that they would be so cruel...

Lin's face was pale, her whole body was shaking, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Her legs went weak and she knelt beside Chen Zhanshan, not caring about being shy and hugging him.

"My child's father, even if we have to beg, our family must stay together.

No matter how prosperous the palace is, no matter how much money you can make, my children and I don't care. You must not abandon us and go down that road!"

Chen Qingqing also persuaded, "Dad, I agree with my mother. Even if we have to beg, as long as our family of five is together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Chen Zhanshan was awakened by the voices of his wife and daughter. Looking at their anxious expressions, he forced a smile.

"Xiumei, if I go to the palace to work, our family's life will be better, and Qing girl won't have to marry Li the butcher."

Chen Qingqing was almost amused by Chen Zhanshan's train of thought. He thought that sacrificing himself could protect his wife and children? This idea was really stupid.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Dad, if my grandparents really cared about you, they would have agreed to let Third Uncle take a year off before taking the exam, instead of selling me out or letting you serve in the palace.

You have become a cripple and will have to live the rest of your life without dignity. You cannot become a victim of their selfishness."

After hearing his daughter's words, Chen Zhanshan was touched.

"Qing girl, Dad doesn't want to either, but if I don't join the palace, how are your grandparents going to get the money to support your third uncle's education?"

Chen Qingqing was completely speechless after hearing this. Her father always thought that it was his duty as an older brother to support Chen Zhancai's studies.

So for so many years, I have been allowed to be exploited by the old man Chen and his wife, and I think it is justified.

He was about to be sent to the palace to be a eunuch, but this silly father was still thinking about others.

"Dad, where did my grandparents get the money to support my third uncle's studies? That's their business, and it has nothing to do with you.

Also, you are your grandparents' biological son, yet they are willing to let you become a eunuch.

If you weren't at home, my mother and I wouldn't have a good life, but would have been even more miserable.

Not only will I be sold to Li the Butcher, but my mother and brother will also become helpless.

Living a miserable life in this house, if you really care about us and want to do good for us, you can't enter the palace."

Lin's eyes were filled with tears. "Zhanshan, what my daughter said makes sense. If you were not here, who would care about us?"

After hearing what the two said, Chen Zhanshan regained his senses. At this moment, he felt scared and terrified, but more of him was relieved. If he really left, what kind of life would his children and his wife live?

He spoke after realizing it belatedly, "Xiumei, Qing girl, I will not enter the palace. I will protect you forever."

Lin's tense nerves relaxed, and she felt her whole body was wet. She exclaimed affectionately, "Zhanshan, you finally figured it out."

Chen Qingqing also smiled, "Dad, as long as our family is together, no matter how difficult the days are, they will definitely pass."

Chen Zhanshan looked at the traces of blood on his daughter's forehead and wiped it gently. "Does it hurt?"

Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, "With Daddy here, I don't feel the pain."
