Chapter 393 Everyone knows

"Why are you cursing your older brother?"

Wan Qiqi's rhetorical question left Chen Yongxing speechless.

He looked up at Wan Qiqi and could sense that she was teasing him.

If something really happened to the eldest brother, his sister-in-law wouldn't be able to be so relaxed.

Could it be that he's mistaken?

Before Chen Yongxing could ask a question, Wan Qiqi continued, "Yongxing, you're in charge of the family during this time. It's not just the wasteland, but also your mother and the others."

Chen Yongxing sensed the seriousness in Wan Qiqi's words, and her tone was heavier than before.

“Yongxing, you are the man of the family. There are some things your sister-in-law wants to tell you. You need to keep your mother calm.”

"good."

"Tang Qiwen is out!" Wan Qiqi said softly, but her expression was slightly serious.

Chen Yongxing was taken aback.

Tang Qiwen?

The next instant, the scene of the market in Hefeng Town flashed into his mind, his eyes trembled, and his expression was filled with disbelief.

"How...how did he get out?"

"I don't know, and I don't know what he'll do next, so you must be very careful," Wan Qiqi said earnestly.

Chen Yongxing suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't it very dangerous for you to go back to town?"

“Even if he wanted to take revenge on me, he wouldn’t do it openly.” Wan Qiqi’s first reaction was the same as Chen Yongxing’s.

Upon reflection, she realized that she was actually safer in town.

If Tang Qiwen returns and something happens to her in town, the first person everyone will think of will be Tang Qiwen.

The town also has the Tao family and the martial arts school, so even if Tang Qiwen seeks revenge, someone will be watching him.

Furthermore, Pingping is still in town, and the restaurant is still open for business. If she backs down because she is afraid of Tang Qiwen's retaliation, what will happen to the child and the restaurant?

No matter the reason, she has to go back to town!

Chen Yongxing's mood became heavy.

But they were also glad they came out late, otherwise they would have been at the mercy of others.

My eldest brother now works in the county government, and he has his martial arts master and fellow disciples in the town; although my second brother Wan is not here, my sister-in-law has a good relationship with the Tao family, is on good terms with Miss Fang, and even has a good relationship with the current county magistrate...

In short, Tang Qiwen will not act rashly now that he has met his elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, please be careful. Leave the house to me," Chen Yongxing said with a firm look in his eyes.

This was also a guarantee from Chen Yongxing to Wan Qiqi.

This will allow the other party to focus on managing the affairs at hand, and as the younger brother, he will certainly do a good job in handling the affairs at hand.

Wan Qiqi did not continue to entangle with Chen Yongxing, and left Lianhua Village with An'an in a mule cart.

Soon, the mule cart arrived at Hefeng Town.

The street scene was just like always, but Wan Qiqi didn't feel relaxed as before; instead, she felt depressed.

Going home, putting down her luggage, and going out, Wan Qiqi barely had a moment to rest.

An'an followed Wan Qiqi without stopping.

She asked curiously, "Mother, aren't we going to a restaurant?"

Wan Qiqi reached out and touched An'an's head, saying gently, "Go on! Let's pick up your brother from school first, and then go to the restaurant."

The academy closes earlier than the restaurant, so there's no problem picking up Pingping before going to the restaurant.

Soon, the mother and daughter arrived at the entrance of Hefeng Academy.

This was the first time Wan Qiqi had waited for Pingping at the school gate since he started school.

As always, vendors lined up at the entrance of the academy, waiting for the students.

Most of the people who come to pick up their children from school are women.

They gathered in small groups, talking about the recent changes in their children and praising how amazing the academy was.

There were also several horse-drawn carriages at the entrance, which were prepared by wealthy families to pick up their children.

Wan Qiqi stood with An'an on the side, not squeezing in with the crowd.

"Sister Qi?" someone suddenly called out from the crowd.

Wu Gousheng squeezed through the crowd and looked at Wan Qiqi in astonishment, "Sister Qi, weren't you in the village? When did you come back to town?"

"I just got back, and the timing was perfect, so I thought I'd come pick up Pingping." Wan Qiqi's expression was calm, flawless, and showed no trace of her previous worries.

“Pingping has plenty! You must be tired from coming all this way, so just rest,” Wu Gousheng said.

Wan Qiqi's disguise was so good that Wu Gousheng didn't notice anything amiss.

Just then, the academy gate opened, and students came out in twos and threes.

Those who are picked up are usually the younger children who are newly enrolled this year; the older children go home by themselves.

Regardless of the type, people's eyes will always linger on the street stalls, and occasionally someone will stop to buy something.

Children from wealthy families often don't look over; they simply get into their carriages after leaving the house and drive away.

After a long while, Pingping and Wu Gousheng finally came out of the door, with a little follower beside them.

Although it was Wan Qiqi's first time meeting Feng Zheng, she recognized him at a glance.

Feng Zheng, standing beside Pingping, glanced at the carriage and said, "Chen Yunqian, my servant has come to pick me up. I'll come find you to play again tomorrow and bring you some toys."

Pingping glanced at him, a hint of impatience on her face. "You're so noisy!"

"I'm just arguing with you, what can you do about it?" Feng Zheng grinned smugly, patted Wu Choudan on the shoulder, and said, "Protect Chen Yunqian well. If he loses even a single hair, I'll hold you responsible."

After saying that, he ran to the carriage and climbed on.

Wu Choudan said in a low voice, "I'm not his servant, he just knows how to order me around."

"Ignore him." Pingping said, then saw Wu Gousheng from behind the crowd.

Then, he fixed his gaze on the half of Wu Gousheng's head that was peeking out from beside him.

Although he only saw the hairpins in the hair and the bun, he could still recognize who owned which silver hairpin.
