The summer wind is always so scorching.
Chen Gui lay on a tattered mat in the courtyard, and Chen Qingshan also lay on a straw mat.
The vast darkness of night.
Chen Gui frowned and said, "I feel that everything that happened today happened too quickly, and the people who came arrived too fast."
Chen Qingshan responded, "Does Father mean that Chen Dashui and Chen Ershui's arrival was too coincidental?"
"Well, as far as I know, Chen Dashui and Hu Zi's father don't usually have a good relationship. What a coincidence that they're drinking at home today."
Chen Qingshan began to slowly consider the outcome of the whole incident.
“Father, I remember now. When Chen Xian went to Chating Village to pick up herbs, I advised him that the mountain road was difficult to travel and it was too late today, so he should go tomorrow. But he insisted on going today.”
and.
"Did you see, Father? Chen Xian really did bring back herbs from Chating Village. This shows that he really went to Chating Village and didn't lie."
The strangest thing about the whole thing is that it takes at least two hours to travel from Qingxia Village to Chating Village and back.
How could Chen Xian have made the round trip in less than an hour?
"It's the young master of the Su family!"
"They rode there on horseback."
The two spoke at the same time.
Everything became clear.
The whole thing started with Chen Xian inducing the Jia family's son to steal.
Seducing their desires.
And he really did intend to go to Chating Village to buy things, as if all of this was an accident.
Chen Qingshan felt a chill run down his spine.
"My goodness, when did Brother Xian become so smart? He's so cunning."
Chen Gui said calmly, “Since ancient times, actions have been judged, not intentions. Brother Xian never intended to harm anyone; he was just setting a trap. In my opinion, the Jia family boy deserves it.”
"Of course, Brother Xian is really smart; he probably fooled the whole village."
Chen Gui clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Qingshan, you should learn from this. The younger generation is truly formidable."
Chen Gui frowned and said, "I don't think that old woman from the Jia family and Jia Yue are easy to get along with. Where will they go? Will they cause trouble for the village?"
Chen Qingshan calmly replied, "What's so difficult about that? We'll find them families in the mountains and help them all get married. That would be a good deed for us."
Chen Gui: "?"
"When did you develop such a mindset? It's truly remarkable. Firstly, once you get married and have children, your heart is only focused on your own little family, so you might not care as much about your older brother or anything like that. Secondly, once you have your own little family, you work hard every day, so where would you find the energy to think about other things?"
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this plan was good. First, no one could say anything about it; they would only think that the village head was thinking of them. A woman was struggling to survive in the village, but if she got married, someone would be there to shelter her from the wind and rain.
Secondly, it can also solve this potentially big problem.
Nobody knows if someone like that will turn evil and turn around to disgust others.
Disposing of them would not be in line with their principles of conduct.
Chen Qingshan was speechless: "Dad, is this how you perceive me?"
Chen Gui responded.
"You shouldn't have said that. Now that you've said it, I'm even more certain that it was Chen Xian's idea."
"Um."
The night was slightly cool.
Chen Gui murmured, "He shouldn't be underestimated. It seems that Chen Xian isn't a treacherous person. This is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune."
The buzzing of mosquitoes outside was so annoying that the Chen father and son got up and went back inside to sleep.
After dinner, Su Wenxuan and Su Wenhao lay in bed.
Su Wenhao chuckled, "Uncle Xian really knows how to take revenge without holding back overnight."
Su Wenxuan seemed to suddenly remember something.
My scalp felt cold, and goosebumps covered my entire body, slowly creeping up my neck from my face.
The old woman from the Jia family came to their door demanding an explanation.
Uncle Xian arranged for him to stay at his house that evening.
"The people in this village are terrifying."
Su Wenhao warned, "Don't be so blunt in the future. It's infuriating. In the county town, people around you know that our father is the county magistrate, so they give you some face. But in the village, who knows who you are? We were just lucky to run into Uncle Xian. Otherwise, with our brains, we would have been ambushed by that Jia boy. That Jia girl is really not easy to deal with; she's utterly wicked."
My thoughts surged instantly.
Su Wenxuan said casually, "Brother, didn't you see what Uncle Xian said to Chen Lizheng? I think I heard something about Granny Jia and Jia Yue getting married."
Su Wenhao: "...Awesome."
Have the women of the Jia family been arranged for another time?
Before today, Su Wenhao had practiced martial arts since childhood. His belief was to use the sword in his hand to quell the injustices in his heart.
It relies on brute force to overcome all techniques.
Simply put, it means using brute force to overcome calamities.
I never thought that I could solve a problem with my brain.
What happened tonight completely overturned his previous stereotypes about force.
While you're still worried about what might happen next.
The uncle has already taken care of the potential crisis that might follow.
The more Su Wenxuan reminisced and reviewed the events of the night, the more excited he became.
I felt like a caterpillar rolling around in bed, moving about and about.
Early the next morning.
Chen Gui took Jia's son to the yamen.
Jia's mother and Jia Yue followed far behind.
Because the evidence was conclusive, the verdict for the Jia family's son was handed down very quickly.
Destined to do manual labor.
Chen Gui went to the official media to explain his purpose.
The official media clerk was somewhat surprised.
