Chapter 3: A Scuffle
If it's a trap, just fall into it immediately.
Cen Yan wanted to laugh, but held it back.
She looked frightened as if she was being scolded. She wanted to say something but hesitated, not daring to say more.
"Mom..." Cen Dajiang was frightened at first and tried to persuade her again, but was interrupted.
"Shut up! I'm telling you! You, you want to implicate your eldest brother? No way! Just you? Are you worthy?!" Old Mrs. Cen seemed to be frightened. Her words were incoherent and she ignored her eldest son.
As she said that, she suddenly got up from the ground, swung the broom and was about to hit Cen Yan again, "I, I will beat you to death! As long as you die, my eldest grandson will not be implicated!"
At this time, she did not forget to beat and scold Cen Yan.
She knew that if Cen Yan went to jail, her beloved grandson would not be able to pass the imperial examination. However, the first thing she thought of was not to let Cen Yan go, but to beat Cen Yan to death so that her grandson would not be implicated by Cen Yan...
But she didn't think that if she killed someone, what good would happen to Cen Han since he had a murderer grandmother?
Cen Yan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she quickly hugged her head in fear, begging for mercy and screaming in panic: "Grandma, don't be angry! I was wrong! I dare not say it anymore! Please don't hit me! If you hit me again, I will really die!"
Her shout startled everyone in the room, including Old Lady Cen.
Why is she crying so miserably before she even hits anyone?
"Stop!" At this time, Old Man Cen, who had been listening outside for a while, finally spoke up.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Cen Yan holding her head in a pitiful manner, huddled in the corner, while Old Lady Cen held a broom high in her hand...
His sharp eyes first slashed across Cen Yan's face, and then he stared at Old Lady Cen.
This old woman can't read a single word and doesn't understand anything. All she does is bully the four people in the second house.
We are all family, so even if the second branch suffers a little loss, it’s no big deal.
Therefore, he usually turned a blind eye to it and didn't bother to care about her too much.
But now, she was getting more and more noisy, and even wanted to bring the matter to the government, to embarrass him and ruin Han'er's future? Did she also want to kill Cen Yan?
She didn't even think about the fact that if she really killed someone, Han Ge'er's life would be really over!
This stupid woman!
He must not let her get into trouble!
Old Man Cen had been a scholar for decades, but his biggest regret was that he failed to pass the imperial examination, so he was neither high nor low, and finally had to return to his hometown to farm.
His two sons, the eldest and the youngest, were not good at studying, which made him very disappointed.
But fortunately, the eldest grandson of the first house, Cen Han, was actually very talented in studying.
He put all his family's efforts into cultivating this grandson, hoping that Cen Han would pass the imperial examination and fulfill his lifelong wish.
It can be said that Cen Han is his only hope.
In addition, he also attaches great importance to his reputation and will never allow anyone to tarnish it.
However, what Old Lady Cen did today completely hit his sore spot!
It's not just Old Lady Cen, but also her granddaughter Cen Yan, who is usually timid, gloomy and quiet. Her actions and insights today were really unexpected.
But when he glanced over, he saw that his granddaughter was so scared that she lowered her head and trembled all over, not daring to look him in the eye.
So, everything she said today was just a coincidence?
At this moment, Old Lady Cen couldn't help but drop her hands because of his sharp gaze.
But when she thought of the broom in her hand, Cen Yan had not yet tasted the pain of being beaten, so she could not let her off easily. She unwillingly moved the broom again and accused Old Man Cen: "I am disciplining my granddaughter. This is a matter in the backyard. Why don't you take the eldest brother and the others to work in the fields? Why are you running here to meddle in other people's business?"
"Disciplining your granddaughter? I think you are just looking for trouble!" Old Man Cen started scolding without any politeness. "You want to frame your granddaughter for such a small matter and send her to the government to be convicted? You are a grandmother! How can you behave like a grandmother? You are just an unreasonable shrew!"
I have to say that what Old Man Cen said was very high-sounding.
He did not mention that he was afraid of damaging his reputation or ruining his lifelong wish. He only accused Mrs. Cen of being wrong and lacking the tolerance and kindness that an elder should have.
It can be seen that he is very concerned about his reputation.
When Mrs. Cen heard him say that about her, she immediately got angry.
"You old man, did you take the wrong medicine today? What do you know about what happened in the backyard? Who are you to talk about it here? I gave birth to your children and suffered a lot in my life, but in the end, you still say that I don't look like a grandmother? Then who do you say looks like a grandmother? Who looks like a grandmother?" She jumped and shouted.
When Old Man Cen heard this, he knew that she was recalling old memories again.
He was engaged to be married in his early years, but the marriage did not take place.
After she married Old Lady Cen, she heard from someone else talking about this marriage, saying that he and the girl from that family were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and had a very good relationship, so she always had to make trouble with him a few times.
What I didn't expect was that even after decades, she would still be jealous of this!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you see what time it is! Why don't you hurry up and cook? The eldest brother and I still have to go to the fields to work. The meal may not be ready when we come back!" Old Man Cen frowned and scolded.
After all, he was in front of the younger generation, and he felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to say more.
But how could Mrs. Cen ask for forgiveness?
She immediately threw the broom in her hand, stretched out her arms and jumped, and was about to slap Old Man Cen in the face: "Explain it to me clearly! If I don't look like the child's grandmother, who does? Have you not forgotten your childhood sweetheart, your good sister? Right!"
"You bitch! Get out of here!"
"Hey! Dad! Mom!"
"Stop it, Mom!"
"Get out of my way!"
“Ouch!”
For a moment, Old Lady Cen grabbed Old Man Cen and the two of them started wrestling with each other.
The three brothers Cen Dajiang, Cen Dahai and Cen Dahe also rushed over to try to separate the two.
However, Old Lady Cen was used to being aggressive. She scratched, scratched, kicked and stomped. Not only could the three brothers not hold her back, they also got hit several times.
Li was stunned and looked at this sudden farce in disbelief.
She couldn't understand it. It was clearly her mother-in-law who wanted to teach their second wife a lesson and deal with Cen Yan, but how come in the blink of an eye, the mother-in-law started fighting with her father-in-law?
Only Cen Yan had a faint smile on his face, and a cunning glimpse flashed across his pair of black and white eyes.
She was held in Li's arms and no one tried to stop the fight.
No one noticed that all this was provoked by her with just a few words.
At this moment, there was a sudden "slap" sound, which finally stopped the shouting of the unreasonable old lady Cen.
Old Mrs. Cen’s hair was disheveled, her eyes were wide open, she covered her swollen cheek, and stared at Old Man Cen in disbelief: “You, you actually hit me?”
"As the head of the family, what's wrong with me hitting you?" Old Man Cen said with a cold face as he tidied up his clothes that had been pulled into a mess.
This crazy woman just grabbed my neck several times, and it's burning with pain now.
He raised his hand and touched it, and actually saw blood.
Old Man Cen's face immediately darkened, and he raised his voice and said, "If you dare to make trouble again, believe it or not, I will divorce you!"
