When she was 8 years old—
Father brought home a boy. Little Chen Yu thought he was here to steal her father away. His name was Shen Yan.
Little Chen Yu tried all sorts of ways to to...
Despite being moved, Chen Le's anger flared up again the moment he saw Wu Yongmei.
"Give me my money back!"
The first thing he said to the man was this. Wu Yongmei, somewhat annoyed, threw a card at him. Chen Le didn't catch it and it fell to the ground. "Pick it up yourself!"
After saying that, she tried to leave the farm, still cursing as she turned around. Chen Yu and Shen Yan heard every word she said; it was all slander against Chen Le.
But Chen Le had no interest in what she was saying. He just wanted to pick up the card quickly and go to the bank to check if the money in it was still there. This money was not only given by Chen Yu and Shen Yan, but also transferred by Chen Kang before his death.
"You stand there! What did you say about my uncle?"
Chen Yu strode forward and blocked Wu Yongmei's path.
"Pah! I say you whole family of sluts deserved to have your brother die young!"
Wu Yongmei's cursing style was just like that of a shrew on the street. Although Chen Yu was angry, she chose to watch her indifferently. If she really fought with this shrew, she would definitely become a rogue and stick to their house.
Chen Le rushed up from behind Chen Yu, grabbed Wu Yongmei by the collar, and shouted, "What did you say! Say it again!"
He stared at Wu Yongmei with bloodshot eyes. She was probably frightened by Chen Le's appearance. Since they met, Chen Le had never raised his voice to her.
"I...I said you're sick!"
Wu Yongmei was frightened and tried to shake off Chen Le's hand, but he didn't loosen his grip at all and just held on tightly.
With a cold and stern face, he stepped forward and said, "If you say another word against our family, we can sue you."
"Yes, we have plenty of time and energy, and most importantly, we have money. What do you have? You should know that yourself."
Chen Yu continued Shen Yan's words, which made Wu Yongmei tremble. She originally came from the countryside and was thinking of swindling Chen Le out of a sum of money so that she could quickly take the money back to her hometown and avoid being caught.
I didn't expect to be contacted by the town police as soon as I got back to my hometown.
She knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Brother Le, you know that's not what I meant. I beg you, please don't send me to jail."
Wu Yongmei looked at Chen Le with snot and tears streaming down her face, still muttering words of begging for mercy. She was indeed frightened by what Chen Yu and Shen Yan had said.
She's not very educated to begin with, and if she really gets arrested, her parents will definitely hate her.
Chen Le then shook off her hand and yelled, "Get out!"
"Don't do this to me, Brother Le. You can't let me go to jail. You know my family's situation. If I go to jail, my parents will definitely beat me to death. My younger brother still needs to go to university! Our whole family's hopes are on my younger brother."
Wu Yongmei cried so loudly it was earth-shattering.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again."
Chen Le turned his head away from Wu Yongmei's face, his mind filled with a multitude of emotions, so complex that he couldn't think straight.
Wu Yongmei scrambled away.
That was the end of it.
night.
Chen Le drove to town to buy groceries, leaving Chen Yu and Shen Yan to stay at the farm for a few days.
The farm has been renovated, and Chen Le's house has been changed from a two-story to a four-story building.
"Uncle, why did you suddenly decide to build a four-story house?"
Chen Le sighed softly, "I originally planned to get married, have my wife have two kids, and they could each live on a separate floor..."
His eyes were filled with disappointment. Chen Yu gently patted Chen Le's shoulder, "Uncle, we'll come and keep you company whenever we have time."
Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!
There was a rapid knocking at the door. Chen Yu was about to open it when Shen Yan stopped her, saying, "I'll go."
Upon opening the door, they found Jiang Yang and Wang Yue standing outside, followed by Huang Xiaoni and Li Ke'er...
"Why...did you get here?"
Shen Yan looked at everyone with a completely bewildered expression.
"Are you guys alright? Oh my god... I'm exhausted from running."
Wang Yue was breathing heavily, feeling like her lungs were about to burst out of her lungs.
"us?"
Shen Yan turned around and looked at Chen Yu, who was eating. She was also confused. She stood up and came to Jiang Yang. Only then did she realize that she hadn't let him know she was safe!
"Oops! My bad, I forgot to send the message. It's resolved now."
Chen Yu looked at everyone apologetically, while Huang Xiaoni scoffed, waved her hand, and went straight into the house.
Chen Le looked at them with a grin, "Are they all your friends?"
"Hey, Uncle, have you forgotten about us? I'm Jiang Yang, and she's Wang Yue."
"Oh, oh, oh, those two kids from next door to Chen Yu!"
"Look at your memory."
Jiang Yang followed him in, picked up his chopsticks and tasted a couple of bites of the dishes on the table. Chen Le counted the number of people who had come and realized that what he had cooked today was definitely not enough, so he ran into the kitchen and cooked a pot of noodles.
"I didn't know you were coming, so I'll just have to make do with this."
"Oh, it's alright, Uncle. We're really hungry. I feel like I could eat a whole cow raw."
As Wang Yue spoke, she put noodles into her mouth and almost choked. It was Li Ke'er who helped her catch her breath, preventing Wang Yue from being "killed" by the noodles.
As luck would have it, there were just enough rooms to sleep all these people, and Chen Le suddenly felt the liveliness of the place. With more people around, he no longer felt so lonely.
midnight.
Shen Yan walked to the door of Jiang Yang and Huang Xiaoni's room and knocked gently.
The loving couple paused, and Huang Xiaoni patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder, "Why do I think I heard someone knocking on the door?"
"You misheard me, continue!"
Jiang Yang tried to kiss her again, but Huang Xiaoni slapped him away, saying, "I really heard it."
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a look."
Jiang Yang's good time was interrupted, so he could only get dressed and go to open the door. Sure enough, there was someone there. "Chen Yan? You're eavesdropping here so late at night?"
"What kind of quirk is that? Want to learn my techniques? Let me tell you, this kind of thing can't be taught."
Speechless, Shen Yan didn't know what to say. He pulled Jiang Yang to the far end of the corridor.
After revealing his desire to propose, Jiang Yang looked at Chen Yan with a righteous expression and said, "You little rascal, finally, finally, the day you're getting married has come."
"Stop being silly, let's get serious. Tomorrow, have them take Chen Yu to town, and you can help me make some arrangements."
Just the two of us?
"My uncle is a human being too."
Jiang Yang thought for a moment and immediately agreed to Shen Yan's request. He even called his assistant and asked her to buy some proposal equipment for Shen Yan, including flowers, balloons, ribbons, and everything else.
Shen Yan patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder, "Good brother."
"Alright, since it's something important, I won't hold a grudge against you for interrupting my good time."
After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he immediately ran back to his room and told Huang Xiaoni about it. She then quickly informed Li Ke'er and Wang Yue.
