Chapter 245 The Village Chief Goes to Pick Up the Bride
Being stared at by Chu Huaixu like this, Chen Peng couldn't help but become nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on his back and forehead.
Chen Peng subconsciously took a step back and suddenly came to his senses.
Why is he afraid?
The person in front of him is just a little brat, who looks weak and probably can't even withstand a punch from him. How could he be scared by such a little brat?
Thinking this in his heart, Chen Peng instantly regained his confidence and straightened his chest again, "What do you mean? Isn't this simple? It means that after today, you will go your separate ways! This little girl will stay in our village and become my wife when she grows up, but that may not be the case for you——"
Chen Ming looked at Chen Peng angrily again, "Chen Peng, you didn't listen to my warning just now, right? I just told you, this is my future wife! Not your future wife! If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death."
"You want to beat me to death?" Chen Peng sneered, "Come on if you dare! Let's see who will beat whom to death between the two of us!"
The atmosphere between the two became tense.
It seemed as if a war could break out at any time.
At this moment, Chen Youwei ran over from a distance.
"A Ming, A Peng, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chen Youwei, Chen Ming and Chen Peng stood up straight instantly, with some fear on their faces.
Not only the two of them, but even the other children who were watching the fun became nervous at the same time.
It can be seen that they are very afraid of Chen Youwei.
Chen Youwei behaved very honestly, even a little poor at speaking.
How could such a person be feared by a group of children?
Especially the appearances that Chen Ming and Chen Peng just showed, they clearly have the personalities of little bullies.
How could two people with such personalities be afraid of an honest and decent man?
Unless, Chen Youwei himself is not what he appears to be.
Chu Huaixu looked at Chen Youwei calmly, but didn't see anything wrong on Chen Youwei's face.
It seems that he is exactly the way he appears.
Chen Peng and Chen Ming were like children who had made a mistake. They lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at Chen Youwei or answer his questions.
At this moment, Yu Youning came out and pointed at Chen Peng and Chen Ming. "They just said that I want to stay in your village and become their daughter-in-law when I grow up. Why did they say that?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Youwei's expression twisted slightly for a moment.
But soon, he said with a smile, "Don't be angry, Miss. They all grew up in the village and have never seen the world. They don't know any rules, etiquette or manners.
In the village, if they see something delicious or fun, they always want to share it with others.
They must have thought you were pretty, so they started arguing like they always do. Miss, please don't argue with them. I'll ask them to apologize to you."
Yu Youning looked at Chen Youwei suspiciously, "Is that really the case? But why do I feel like they've already done something like this?"
"No, no!" Chen Youwei waved his hands repeatedly. "How is this possible? Our village is simple and honest, and it's a remote place with few people coming here. It's impossible for such a thing to happen. Miss, you misunderstood!"
Chu Huaixu tugged at Yu Youning's clothes, stopping her from asking further questions. He smiled and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. But you still have to talk to them. People and things are different. You can't just assume it's yours just because you like it. What's the difference between that and a robber or a bandit?"
When Chen Youwei heard the words "robbers and bandits," the corners of his mouth twitched, but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to you about them in a bit."
"Then we'll leave first!"
Chu Huaixu said this, pulling Yu Youning and turning to leave.
Huo Qingchen was very unwilling, but after being looked at by Chu Huaixu, he still followed Chu Huaixu obediently.
The few of them quickly returned to Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan.
Liuyun is here too.
Seeing that several people had returned and didn't look very happy, Yu Tingwan asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why do you all seem angry?"
Yu Youning recounted what had just happened from beginning to end.
She has a pleasant voice and clear logic, and she explains things directly and clearly.
After hearing the whole story, Yu Tingwan also frowned and looked towards Chen Youwei.
As soon as I looked over, my gaze met Chen Youwei's.
Chen Youwei nodded with an apologetic smile on his face, and even bent his back as a silent apology.
Wen Shiyan chuckled, but his laughter was cold, "Tingwan, take Youning and the others back first, I'll go over and take a look."
"Then be careful."
"I will."
Wen Shiyan said this and walked towards Chen Youwei with big strides.
Chen Youwei looked at Wen Shiyan, who was striding towards him. The coldness in his eyes became even more intense. He lowered his voice and warned, "You guys, if you dare to let something slip or talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Chen Ming and Chen Peng quickly lowered their heads and promised, "We absolutely won't do that again!"
They had just finished talking for a while when Wen Shiyan came closer.
Looking at Wen Shiyan, Chen Youwei's back bent even more. "Brother Wen, I'm so sorry for scaring your daughter. I just asked them to apologize. Look at this..."
Wen Shiyan put his arm around Chen Youwei's shoulders and said, "Originally, children are talking and laughing, fighting and playing, and we adults shouldn't interfere. But—"
"I understand, I understand!" Chen Youwei nodded repeatedly, "I'll make them kneel down and apologize right now. You two, why don't you kneel down quickly and admit your mistakes! If Brother Wen doesn't forgive you today, you don't have to stand up anymore!"
Chen Peng and Chen Ming fell to their knees without even making any argument.
Their fear of Chen Youwei seemed to be engraved in their bones.
Wen Shiyan watched this scene and smiled softly, "They seem to be very afraid of Brother Youwei! Is this Brother Youwei's child?"
Chen Youwei's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. "No, I'm not married yet, but we're from the same village. I watched them grow up, and I usually took care of them more, so they're a little afraid of me."
"So that's how it is." Wen Shiyan nodded. "Since Brother Youwei has already interceded for them, I can't say anything more. Everyone, get up and don't do this again."
Chen Youwei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted at the two people on the ground, "Hurry up and stand up! Stop being an eyesore here! Go home and play!"
Chen Peng and Chen Ming crawled to their feet, and together with the other children, they turned around and ran, and soon they disappeared.
Looking at their hurriedly leaving backs, a dark light flashed in Wen Shiyan's eyes.
Chen Youwei just said a few words, but he scared them so much?
This village is becoming more and more interesting.
Chen Youwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Wen, do you want to go back and rest? The bride will be brought back in just over an hour, and then we can have the wedding banquet."
"Okay, I'll go back now. Is the bride's home far away? Why does it take more than an hour?"
"Not far." Chen Youwen said with a smile, "As for picking up the bride, there are poems urging her to get ready, blocking the door, and saying goodbye. The process is complicated, so it will naturally take more time."
"That's true." Wen Shiyan agreed, "Then I'll go back now."
"Brother Wen, take care!"
Wen Shiyan said nothing more and walked step by step towards the yard where they lived.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I realize that the courtyard they live in is very close to the center of the village, and there are many courtyards around it.
They were probably placed here so that their every move could be monitored at all times and to prevent them from leaving.
It seems that from the moment he met Chen Youwei, he had already figured out how to deal with them.
If there weren't so many of them and there wasn't a happy event today, I probably wouldn't have been so perfunctory with them.
Chen Youwei watched Wen Shiyan enter the yard, then turned around and walked in another direction.
After turning two corners, Chen Youwei entered a yard.
Inside the room, Chen Peng and Chen Ming were already kneeling on the ground.
The two men had obviously been kneeling for quite some time, their bodies swaying slightly.
When they heard footsteps approaching behind them, the fear on their faces became even more intense and their bodies began to tremble.
Chen Youwei walked around the two of them, sat on a chair, and looked down at them. "Do you know why I made you kneel here?"
Chen Peng and Chen Ming nodded repeatedly.
"I know! We said the wrong thing!"
"We shouldn't tell the truth before we catch them. This will easily alert the enemy!"
Chen Youwei sneered, his smile no longer innocent, but full of mockery, "Many of them are martial artists, and you can tell at a glance that they are not those idiots from before. Although I tried my best to hide it just now, they must have noticed something was wrong.
Today is the village chief's big day. If they start making a fuss and affect the village chief's good fortune, even your father won't be able to protect you!"
The two men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Uncle Chen, we were wrong! We really know we were wrong. Please, Uncle Chen, save us!" Chen Ming begged for mercy.
"Uncle Chen, why don't we take action and arrest them before the village chief comes back? That way we don't have to worry about them causing trouble! We will catch them sooner or later anyway!" said Chen Peng.
Chen Youwei raised his foot and kicked Chen Peng out. "I said you were stupid, and you really are. I just said that they are all martial artists, the best fighters in the village, and they have all been taken away by the village chief. If a fight really breaks out, it's not certain who will catch who!"
Chen Peng jumped up and said, "Then...what should we do?"
Chen Youwei sneered, "Last night and this morning, their food wasn't tampered with, so they must have let their guard down. At lunchtime, when everyone is eating, they'll be even less on guard. Then, we'll slip the drug into their food."
