Chapter 228 Bluffing
Thinking of Xiaoyu, Li the butcher's heart trembled, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"Brother, I'm not afraid of him. That fool is really good at kung fu. I don't think two or three of us combined would be his match."
"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're good in every way except that you don't like to use your brain."
Shopkeeper Li glanced at him sideways, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Why don't you bring more brothers with you? As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves. Even if that fool is really capable, we have more people and we don't think he would dare to act recklessly."
Butcher Li scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment.
"Brother, you're right, but the brothers I know are just a bunch of street urchins who eat and drink for free. They can eat and drink for free, but it's really hard to ask them to do anything for you.
If I don't spend some money, I'm afraid no one will be willing to support me. I have to find more than ten people to help us two brothers vent our anger. Including food and drinks, it will cost at least dozens of taels of silver.
You know, I'm just a pork seller. I don't have the money to seek revenge, so I have to swallow my anger."
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and smiled, then waved his hand generously, "This little money is nothing. As long as I can vent my anger and help me close the deal, I'll pay for it. I'll give you 100 taels first. Is that enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough. As long as big brother is willing to spend money, I will take care of this matter."
Butcher Li patted his chest excitedly and agreed, but he was making a small calculation in his mind. He was beaten badly by that big fool last time, and this time he wanted to show off his strength by virtue of his large number of people. If he didn't do anything stupid, it would be fine, but if he was shameless, he would beat him half to death.
Shopkeeper Li nodded with satisfaction. This was the sentence he had been waiting for. Chen was shameless. If she was not made to pay the price, she would not know that there were some people in this world whom she could not offend.
He smiled, but couldn't hide the viciousness in his eyes, "Brother, I leave this matter to you, don't let me down."
Li the butcher said with a smile, "Don't worry, big brother, my brothers will do this kind of thing, but they are just bluffing and will never cause trouble.
But then again, even if things really get out of hand and a fight breaks out, there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as no one is killed, our relationship with Wang Qichang will make it a minor matter, and a minor one will be forgotten."
"You're right, but don't act rashly unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Okay, big brother, I've got this in mind. Now when are we going to find that little girl?"
Hearing this question, Shopkeeper Li lowered his head and thought for a while, "I have some things to deal with these days. You can gather the brothers first, and I will keep you informed."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
Although Shopkeeper Li was giving these instructions, he knew that the gang of brothers under Butcher Li were a bunch of rogues who bullied the weak and feared the strong. If they took action, the little girl surnamed Chen would definitely not get any good results...
Nanshan Village.
When Chen Zhanshan heard that Chen Han had passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Lin's face was full of pride and pride. She grabbed Chen Han's hand and her voice trembled with excitement.
"That's great! We have a successful student in our family! You really make your parents proud."
"Yes, I'll work harder in the future and try to pass the exam to become a scholar." Chen Zhanshan also echoed.
Chen Han nodded heavily, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will work harder and will not let you down."
"Okay, as long as you work hard."
Chen Zhanshan smiled, then said to Chen Han earnestly,
"Although you have passed the examination and become a Tongsheng, you must not be arrogant in the future. If you only learn half-heartedly, your parents will definitely not let your sister support your studies anymore."
Before Chen Han could even open his mouth to speak, Lin glared at Chen Zhanshan and said angrily, "Today is a happy day, why are you saying these things? Our Xiaohan is not that kind of unruly child."
"Mother, I'm not being nosy. Back then, my third brother passed the imperial examination and became a student a year earlier than Chen Han, but he became lazy and spoiled by his family. Now he's become a half-baked lazy idiot, unable to lift or carry anything. He's a complete loser."
"No matter what, he has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar." Lin shook her head and smiled, "Okay, head of the family, don't worry. Our Xiaohan is sensible and will not become like him."
Listening to the two people's mumbling, Chen Qingqing knew that Chen Zhancai had disappointed his parents too many times.
In order to support him, they worked hard in the fields year after year, carried heavy bags at the docks, and spared no food or clothing, hoping that he would one day be able to hold his head high.
But in the end, he had to sell his own brother's daughter and force his own brother to become a eunuch. How could he not be disheartened by such a ungrateful and ungrateful person?
Chen Qingqing smiled and took over the conversation, "Dad, don't think about those sad things. We let Xiaohan study for the sake of wisdom. As for how far he can go, we just do our best. If he is not a good student, it is good to be able to read and write."
Chen Han also said seriously like a little adult, "Dad, don't worry, I know what I am capable of. If I really am not cut out for studying, I will never force you."
"Okay, Dad believes you." Chen Zhanshan nodded with satisfaction.
******
At this time, Wu Baoan came to Chen Zhanshan's house.
He had already informed the villagers door to door, telling them to attend the wedding banquet of Chen Zhancai who had passed the examination for a scholar in three days.
From the expressions on their eyes and faces, it can be seen that most people are somewhat reluctant.
But they all had the same concern, worrying that if Chen Zhancai became successful one day, given his petty nature, he would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.
I had to agree reluctantly.
Hearing the sounds of talking and laughing in the room, Wu Baoan called out, "Is Qing girl home?"
Chen Qingqing hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him, "Uncle Village Chief, please come in and sit down."
"I just saw you coming back, so I came here."
Wu Baoan walked into the room with a smile. Seeing Chen Han there, he casually asked, "Xiao Han is back too. How did you do on the Tongshi exam?"
Chen Han bowed and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Li Zheng. I passed the exam smoothly."
"Good, that's really great. Keep studying hard and strive to achieve fame and honor as soon as possible. Only in this way can you stand out and bring honor to your family."
"Xiao Han will remember the village head's teachings and will not let my parents and my sister down." Chen Han nodded in agreement...
