Chapter 296 Show Him Some Color
Seeing that she was talking about something sad again, Chen Zhanliang hurriedly reminded her, "Come on, Cuiqin, stop standing here. Hurry up and take Qingya to sit inside."
"Yes, yes, come in quickly."
When Sun came into the house, she saw Dabao and Xiaoyu unloading a full bamboo basket from their shoulders. Her eyes turned red again.
"Qing girl, Second Aunt doesn't know what to say to you. You really helped our family a lot."
"Yes, how come you brought so much food? We don't know how to thank you." Chen Zhanliang was so excited that his nose was sore.
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don't be polite to me. Back then, when we were kicked out and had nothing to eat, you secretly helped us. Now that you're splitting up, it's only natural for me to help you. We're family after all."
"Yes, yes, we are a family." Chen Zhanliang nodded repeatedly. He was so moved that tears rolled down his cheeks. In order not to be discovered, he turned his head to the side.
Sun raised her hand to wipe away her tears and grinned, "Second Aunt was right about you. You are a good child with a conscience."
Hearing her say this, Dabao quickly took over the conversation, "Dad, Mom, my sister said that if you are willing, you can go to the sugar mill to work for ten cents a day."
"Really, Qing girl, do you really want me to work in the sugar factory?" The sudden surprise warmed Sun's heart.
Chen Qingqing nodded and said, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, as long as you are willing to go, the sugar factory welcomes you anytime."
Sun clapped her hands in delight. "Oh, that's great! If your grandma hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to work in the sugar mill a long time ago."
"I'm willing to go too." Chen Zhanliang nodded happily.
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, you can go directly there tomorrow, Dabao will arrange work for you."
Sun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Suddenly she remembered something and looked at Chen Qingqing, "Qing girl, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter, Auntie? Just tell me directly."
"That's what happened. The four mu of sandy land on the west mountain was allocated to us. Even though the harvest there has been poor every year, we don't want to leave it lying idle.
Aren’t people in the village all eager to plant beets? I’d also like to try planting them on those four acres of land. Can you give us some seeds?
"Yes, everyone in the village has been planting beets these days. Your second aunt and I have discussed it. If you have any extra seeds, we can also plant beets on our acres of land." Chen Zhanliang nodded and echoed.
Before Chen Qingqing could speak, Dabao spoke first, "Dad, Mom, aren't you just causing more trouble? My sister Qingqing bought all the beet seeds based on the land we registered for. There's no extra left. Even if you want to plant, you'll have to wait until next year."
"We just can't make the decision, otherwise we would have signed up long ago." Sun smiled regretfully.
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Since you want to grow beets, I'll ask the village head tomorrow to see if anyone has any extra seeds. If so, I'll send them to you."
"Okay, that's fine."
"By the way, how is Erbao? Do you want to prescribe some tranquilizers for him?"
"No need, Erbao is fine. He's already asleep in the west room."
"I'm glad he's okay. But for such a young child to encounter something like this, it's inevitable that it will leave a shadow in his heart. You should spend more time with him and talk to him more, so that he won't let it get to him."
Sun nodded. "If something like this happened to us adults, we'd be terrified, let alone a child. I feel so sad just thinking about how desperate he must have been."
"Second Aunt, you don't have to be too sad. In my opinion, let Erbao go to the academy with Chen Han in the future. We don't expect him to learn anything, but at least he can read and write."
Dabao said, "Sister Qingqing, I asked Erbao a long time ago. It's not that my parents don't want him to go to school, but he really doesn't want to study. He said that his head hurts when he sees the books."
Chen Qingqing smiled slightly, "In that case, we don't have to force it, let's talk about it later!"
Sun nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After a few more small talk, Chen Qingqing got up and left.
The sky gradually darkened and people who had been busy all day fell asleep early.
Dabao lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All he could think about was Chen Zhancai's ugly face.
He actually sold Erbao to a trafficker against his conscience. He is so heartless and ruthless.
This person is not a human being, his heart is completely corrupted...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly sat up, clenched his fists,
That thing is worse than an animal. We must teach it a lesson, otherwise he won't learn his lesson.
Thinking of this, he quietly got dressed, went downstairs, and tiptoed out of the house.
He found a wooden stick in the yard and decided to guard the old house. When Chen Zhancai got up to urinate in the middle of the night, he would beat him up with a stick to teach him a lesson.
When they arrived at the Chen family's old house, Dabao saw that the oil lamp was still on in the east room, so he gently pushed open the fence door and walked in with his body bent.
I tiptoed to the window and heard voices coming from inside.
Looking through the crack in the window, I saw Chen Zhancai with a sullen face, scolding the old man and his wife.
"Dad, Mom, I just can't understand. You all agreed with the traffickers to just sign the contract and get the money, and everything would be fine. But why are you guys so hesitant? The money we earned was just wasted by you two. Now I wonder where you're going to get the money for me."
"Oh, my dear son, you don't know, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's all thanks to that damned bitch, the child is not missing any arms or legs,
But she was so good, checking it over and over again, so meticulous, she almost wanted to pick some shit out of my asshole to taste it. I don’t even know what she wanted to check.
"Yes, son, your mother is right. That matchmaker was checking us like livestock, looking here and pinching there. If she hadn't wasted our time, we would have taken the money and left long ago. We wouldn't have been blocked by those bastards." Old Man Chen also explained.
Hearing this, Dabao immediately became furious and really wanted to rush in to vent his anger for Erbao.
But reason told him that the time was not right and he should not act rashly.
Chen Zhancai shook his head and sighed, "Yeah, if anyone is to blame, it's that damn girl. If it weren't for her, my second brother and his wife, with their stubborn brains, would never have figured out that we would sell Erbao to a human trafficker even if they smashed their heads."
