Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Sometimes he is really well behaved.
Chen Jinshi seemed to be completely unaware and did not hesitate to expose his brother's tricks, fearing that his mother would not realize that this man was a hypocrite.
Chen Jichuan looked at his youngest son sighing. It was New Year's Day, and he didn't want to scold him.
Chen Jinxing was holding up his wine glass in a daze. Chen Ying clinked her glasses with his, and said, "Jinxing, make progress in the new year, and be diligent and progressive."
Chen Jinxing immediately came back to his senses, bowed while holding the wine glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He added: "Thank you for your care, Mom. I hope you can be at ease every day, have less work, and enjoy more peace and happiness."
…
After the New Year, everything returned to normal. Chen Jinshi studied harder and rarely bothered her. Chen Ying was indeed happy every day.
Chen Jinxing is now able to work independently at the counter, and Chen Jichuan's sudden illness has made both brothers mature a lot.
Chen Ying began to take Chen Jinyun to play on the counter. Chen Jinyun was very well behaved and would not cause trouble for her. From time to time, she could even help her with some errands.
"Boss, something bad has happened!"
Shopkeeper Bai hurried in, and Chen Ying looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Bai Jingnian was holding a medicine bottle with the Chen family's business logo in his hand. The business logo of the third branch of the Chen family was different when looked at closely. Chen Ying took it and took a closer look. It was exactly the thing from the second branch's shop.
"This is the Dingchuan Powder sold by the second branch of the Chen family. Boss, smell it, the formula is exactly the same as ours."
Chen Ying opened the bottle cap, sniffed it, and poured out some to check. The texture and color were exactly the same as her Dingchuan Powder.
Her face immediately became serious: "We should report it to the police. We can't let this matter go on." Even if the other party is from the Chen family.
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Miss Chen, that's not the problem. The problem is that they're blaming us, saying we stole their recipe, which is why they're charging us so low. And then they say that as someone from an outsider living in the Chen family, it's not surprising that you stole the recipe..."
Chen Ying tightened her fingers around the medicine bottle slightly, and gently placed the bottle on the table with a soft "click" sound. She smiled and said, "Shi'er has been taking my medicine since he was a child. The Second House cannot afford to confuse right and wrong in this matter."
Shopkeeper Bai continued, "Miss Chen, this is where the problem lies. The Chen family's second branch's business started selling this Dingchuan Powder two years ago, and it's priced high, so few people buy it and it's not very well-known."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ying calmed down. Sitting behind the table, she said calmly, "This isn't surprising. Shi'er's medicine used to be brewed at home. It wouldn't be difficult for the people from the second house to steal the dregs. My brewing techniques are simple and easy to learn. You can just put the pills I've been making on the shelves."
"Boss, the effect of this pill..."
Chen Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, this pill is even more effective than Dingchuan Powder. It's a formula I rethought."
"That's fine, let's take the Dingchuan Powder off the shelf and just sell this pill."
Chen Ying said, "No, Dingchuan Powder will continue to be sold, and the price of the pills will be increased, but not too high."
"Well, wouldn't that just lead to gossip? Wouldn't we continue to be scolded by the people from the second house?"
Chen Ying took a sip of cold tea, and a trace of barely perceptible anger flashed across her brows. It was really troublesome to be entangled with such a person. Fortunately, she had never intended to deal with anyone other than the eldest wife of the Chen family from the beginning.
"It seems that this official has to be reported."
When common people want to sue, it is not enough to just talk about reason, but Chen Ying is not someone who would rather die than take advantage of others' power. Although Chen Jichuan is the "rebellious son who chooses martial arts instead of medicine" in the Chen family, he has a say in official circles. After all, he occupies a different class identity from the rest of the Chen family who have been practicing medicine for generations.
The matter finally came to a head. The second branch thought that simply spreading the news would prevent it from becoming a big deal. Chen Ying had no evidence, so instead of making a big fuss, she simply took the low-priced analgesic off the shelf, and the second branch could continue to make their money.
Who could have thought that not only did Chen Ying not take Dingchuansan off the shelf, but she also reported the matter to the authorities, insisting that they get to the bottom of the matter.
Although the second wife was afraid, she also knew that Chen Ying had no evidence. The second wife had already started selling this Dingchuan powder.
When Chen Jinshi was passing by "Dulan Mongolian Medicine" after school that day, he happened to see these people making a fuss.
They pointed at Chen Ying's nose and said, "You live in the Chen family, so even if you encouraged the two brothers to secretly take the Chen family's secret recipe for you to see, it's also possible. Don't talk about evidence or not."
Chen Jinshi looked carefully and saw that the ones making the most noise were his second uncle and aunt.
He immediately became furious and pushed through the crowd, charging in like a bull.
Then he heard his second aunt say, "This matter is easy to resolve. We are all family. If you change your sign to a 'Chen' sign, we won't bother with you."
Chen Ying sneered, "This shop belongs to me completely. You want to keep things quiet and give me a way out? I have to tell you, no way!"
She glanced over and saw Chen Jinshi coming, so she pulled him over and said, "You said you've been taking this medicine since you were a child. I made it three years ago."
Chen Ying wanted to ask Chen Jinshi to come and testify and speak for her, but she didn't expect that Chen Jinshi was not born to be a reasonable person.
Chen Jinshi had a muscular body and red eyes. He rushed to his uncle and aunt and kicked them.
He then pulled his second aunt's clothes and said, "Bitch! Don't think I don't know what you are planning."
Seeing her husband being kicked out, his second aunt trembled with fear and accused him, "Chen Jinshi, I am your second aunt..."
He threw her fiercely against the pillar behind him. With a dull thud, his second aunt's back hit the pillar. He pinned her down, unable to move. All she could see was the destructive ruthlessness in his body.
"I don't care about your second aunt or eighth aunt, a bitch is a bitch! Get out!"
He pushed her to the ground, and Second Aunt threw herself on Second Uncle, wailing: "What a rebellious son your eldest brother gave birth to—"
Chen Jinshi clapped his hands, "spitted," and scolded them in front of the elders and villagers: "I have been taking my mother's Dingchuansan since I was a child. I don't know when you stole the recipe, but I, Chen Jinshi, have had asthma since I was a child. Doctors in Jinling have all seen it and said it is incurable. It was not until my mother came that I gradually got better. I, Chen Jinshi, am a living example. No one should dare to slander my mother! You two bitches, I will see you in court!"
After the people around had dispersed, Chen Ying sat on a chair in the shop. Shopkeeper Bai stood beside her, wiping his sweat. "Anyway, it's good that the matter is resolved."
Chen Jinshi walked in and looked at her intently, but Chen Ying didn't look at him.
He leaned over her, his tall figure like a dark cloud pressing down on her head, and she was completely shrouded in his shadow.
She still turned her head away from him.
"Amu, you've been wronged. The incident has been going on for several days. Why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Ying said in a cold voice: "It's the adults' business..."
"Don't say that!"
The tip of his nose almost touched her forehead, and his hot anger sprayed on her face. Chen Ying knew that he was really angry.
Chen Ying's jaw was tense, and she could clearly hear his rapid breathing, which was filled with suppressed anger, beside her ear.
"Do you think I'm incapable of helping you? Or do you simply never take me seriously?" Her affairs were none of his business? Just as Chen Jinxing had said, their relationship with her had been merely a formal one from the beginning. After she had repaid her kindness and done what she was supposed to do, regardless of any emotional connection, she would simply leave and have nothing to do with him anymore.
Is this really the case? Is this really the case? Eminem. When he thought about this, his heart ached.
Besides, Chen Jinshi was able to receive her care and love thanks to his father.
Chen Ying finally moved, no longer avoiding his burning gaze, and said sullenly: "No, it's because you are about to take the exam, and I don't want to disturb you. Secondly, your father can help me solve the problem, and Jin Xing can also testify for me. Things haven't reached the point where I must have your help."
Then there are his father and brother, who always take precedence over him.
Chen Jinshi felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.
Chen Ying felt that he was too close to her.
She reached out and pushed him, further and further away, until she could breathe freely. She breathed a sigh of relief. The oppressive feeling from his body almost made her breathless.
His anger had mostly subsided, leaving only a heavy gloom: "But they still bullied you."
Chen Ying noticed it, feeling a little aggrieved that she herself didn't even realize.
She was going to blame him for his impulsive behavior and said that the matter should not be resolved with force.
She patted his shoulder, decided to coax him, and said: "So you came at the right time today, Shi brother, it's a good thing you came, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
She showed a little weakness, which made Chen Jinshi completely lose his temper and began to reflect on whether he had just said something harsh to her.
He stood up straight and stood beside her, imitating Chen Jinxing's respectfulness.
"You're welcome, Am."
She pursed her lips and smiled at him, and he instantly became as obedient as a puppy.
"Have you finished your homework for today?"
Chen Jinshi waved to Wang'er to come over. Wang'er just came to his senses and came over with the book box.
He was still using the broken pen cap, untied the rope and took out a pen.
"There's still some left. I'll stay here with Eminem while I write."
Chen Ying smiled gently, as long as he didn't get angry, everything would be fine.
Shopkeeper Bai, who had just finished cleaning up the mess at the door, came in and said to her, "The Second Young Master is the most capable. He solved the problem in no time. The boss should have called the Second Young Master out a long time ago."
After hearing this, Chen Jinshi sat up straighter. He now occupied Chen Ying's medicine preparation table again and spread out his homework. Chen Ying let him do it.
"Emu, please read what I wrote before."
He handed her two booklets as if presenting treasures.
Chen Ying took it and said helplessly: "You are older now, you don't need to show me these every day."
Chen Jinshi said: "I'm used to it, Am, just take a look."
From the beginning, she forced him to greet her as the first thing he did when he got home from school, to checking his homework one by one and urging him to complete it, to now, he greets her every time and takes the initiative to show her his homework.
The more time went by, the more Chen Ying felt that he had bad intentions and was planning something bad.
She was really scared of him because he teased her when she was a child, so she never had a good face towards him.
But sometimes he is really well behaved.
For example, now.
She opened his book, and his homework became better and better. But when she opened his book for the first time, her eyes were dazzled by the scribbled words.
The whole page of paper showed the unconventional personality and impatience of that poor kid. Each word was written so sloppily that it seemed as if it were two words. His pen strokes were bold and restless, and the whole paper was filled with his unruly temper.
Now it is much neater, and the strokes are regular, not as light and impetuous as before. The strokes have a certain inherent sharpness, and one or two slightly sharp hooks can be vaguely seen.
Looking at these words, her mind unconsciously emerged the kick he had just thrown in front of her, and her heart suddenly felt like being gently pulled by something, soft and numb.
