Chapter 287 I Can't Figure It Out
"I'm not saying shit to you. Every time I tell you to open your eyes and not get into any business, but this time you've stirred up a hornet's nest. If they come looking for us, we'll both lose our heads."
"Manager Qian, it's not that serious, is it? I've gotten to the bottom of everything, and there's absolutely no way there could be a single mistake."
The fat steward snorted coldly, "It's not that serious. Those two could easily kill us. You're still showing off. Get those two old bastards out of here!"
"Okay, I'll let them go."
Grandma Sun knew that she had caused a big disaster this time and offended someone she shouldn't have offended.
Turning to look at the old man Chen and his wife who were standing there in a daze, he gritted his teeth and said viciously,
"You two old fools, what happened to that kid just now? If you don't tell the truth, I'll skin you alive!"
"You, you ask me, I, we don't know either!" Old Mrs. Chen shook her head in astonishment.
Old Man Chen looked even more bewildered, waving his hands vigorously. "You don't even know what's going on, so what are we old couple supposed to know? Are you just going to let them go like this?"
When Grandma Sun heard this, she was so angry that she jumped up and down. "What else do you want if you won't let us go? Are you going to chop off our heads before leaving? You are obviously not good people. You actually brought a child of unknown origin to cause trouble. We have been severely harmed by you two old people who are not human. You must bear the loss today."
Old Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she quickly explained, "Grandma Sun, this child is indeed my grandson. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning. You can't blame us for your losses!"
"That's right, we have to be reasonable in everything. We didn't do anything. You were the ones who released the children. It has nothing to do with us old couple." Old man Chen also hurriedly agreed.
Grandma Sun was so angry that her teeth itched. "Manager Qian, this matter really has nothing to do with me, right? There must have been a mistake somewhere else, and we've been targeted. What happened today was purely an accident."
The fat steward could see that the old man and his wife were dressed in rags and it was impossible for them to know any important people. It must be a coincidence. Perhaps some powerful person came to Anyang incognito, and he happened to be unlucky and was targeted.
He waved his hand, "Alright, that's enough for today. Don't cause any more trouble here. If those two come back and surprise us, we'll all be dead. Let them get out of here and close the shop!"
"Okay, I get it." Grandma Sun wanted to get some benefits from the old couple, but since the person in charge had spoken, she had to listen. However, she was furious and kicked each of them. "Get out of here now! If I see you two old bastards again, I'll skin you alive!"
"Okay, get out, we'll get out right now!" Old Mrs. Chen felt as if she had been pardoned. She immediately grabbed Old Man Chen and hurried out, fearing that she would be blamed.
Chen Zhancai was hiding in the corner, stretching his neck to look out, when he saw the old man Chen and his wife stumbling out of the dental shop. He hurried to meet them.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
"Oh, my son, why are you here too? I was in so much trouble just now. I was almost scared to death." Old Mrs. Chen kept patting her chest with her hands.
Old man Chen was also panting heavily, "Son, you don't know, your mother and I were almost blackmailed just now."
Chen Zhancai ignored them and hurriedly asked Old Lady Chen, "Mom, what happened just now? Who were those two people? The pawnbroker's manager got beaten up and didn't even dare to fart, yet why is he still fawning over that damn girl like a grandson?"
"I don't know what's going on. I'm still confused!"
"This is strange. That damn girl is too powerful." Chen Zhancai was puzzled.
Old Man Chen snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with that damn girl? In my opinion, those two must be officials, otherwise the people in the pawnbroker's shop wouldn't be so scared."
Old Mrs. Chen shook her head in disapproval. "That's possible, but I just can't understand why they released those dozen children. Isn't that bullying?"
"Old woman, how come you, someone as smart as you, don't even understand this? There must be some aristocratic children among those children. They're angry and just let them go!"
"You're right. We are so unlucky. We came here so early and late, but ended up encountering such a terrible thing. If we had known it would be like this, we could have just come back in two days." Old Mrs. Chen pounded her head in frustration.
Chen Zhancai also felt the same way and could not help but stamp his feet in anger. "These people are really incapable of doing anything good and are more likely to cause trouble than good. They are deliberately trying to ruin my career as a government official. It really makes me angry!"
"My dear son, don't worry. I will be sad if you get yourself hurt. As the saying goes, there is always a way out. I will think of a way for you. Don't worry, don't worry!" Old Mrs. Chen was afraid that something might happen to her precious son, so she kept comforting him.
Chen Zhancai was upset and didn't know how to face his brother and sister-in-law when he got home. He shook his head helplessly.
"Mom, you said it so lightly, but how can your son not be anxious? Now things are a mess. Not only did I not get any money, but I got into trouble. You should think about how to explain it to my second brother and his wife when you get back!"
"Oh, my dear son, what do I have to explain to them? It's not illegal for me to sell my own grandson. I'm not afraid of anyone telling me about it. The worst that can happen is that people will stab me in the back. You don't need to worry about these things. I am responsible for my own actions and it has nothing to do with you. Just put your mind at ease. They won't dare to do anything to me."
"Okay, mother, I feel relieved when you say that."
Chen Zhancai felt relieved, but when he thought about the money he had earned and how it had gone, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Now that I have no money, how can I take the exam? How can I let my parents enjoy the good life with my son in the future?"
Old Mrs. Chen was at a loss, but she still smiled and comforted him.
"Son, I know you're filial, but now that things have come to this, it's definitely impossible for me to harm Erbao again. But don't worry, a living person can't be killed by holding their urine. There will definitely be a way. Let's go home and discuss it."
Hearing her say this, Old Man Chen frowned and shook his head, and couldn't help muttering, "Don't do these boring things, let's think about what to do when we get home!"
Old Mrs. Chen glanced at him and, for the first time, did not refute.
Thinking of her second son's murderous eyes, her heart trembled. Yes, what should she say when she gets home?
Forget it, don't think about it anymore. As the saying goes, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. Sooner or later, you have to face it.
Just be like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, let it do whatever it wants!
Thinking of this, they walked towards home...
