Chapter 381 Shameless
"They're really going too far. They're making trouble again after just a few months of peace. Are you, the boss, not confused?"
Lin said, looking at Chen Zhanshan with a worried look on her face.
"As long as you open this door, their family will be a bottomless pit, relying on you like a blood-sucking worm. We can't let this cause trouble!"
"Xiumei, don't worry. I'm not as stupid as you think. How could I not know what they are like? If they were a little more decent, they wouldn't live like that. I won't cause any trouble for our daughter."
"Really? You didn't lie to me? But I just saw that old couple were so happy that they couldn't stop grinning."
Lin was really scared, she knew Mrs. Chen too well.
Greedy, selfish,
As long as she can get something for nothing, she will keep asking for more.
Chen Zhanshan knew her worries, and quickly told her what had just happened, and then said,
"Even if beggars came to our house, I couldn't chase them away. They were already so old, so I couldn't say anything. I just let them take it."
"You're right. Even if I were at home, I wouldn't be able to say anything. It's really unfortunate to have such scoundrel parents." Lin couldn't help but sigh. "They are getting more confused and inhumane as they get older. It would be fine if the third child could fight for his own dignity. If he doesn't grow up, how will his family live in the future?"
"Okay, Xiumei, you walked your own path, and you got the blisters on your feet yourself. Just live your own life, and we shouldn't worry about you."
"What you said makes sense, but I'm just worried that you'll do something stupid and become soft-hearted again."
"No, my heart turned cold when they planned to send me to the palace to be a eunuch and wanted to sell my daughter. If I forgive them, how can I be worthy of you and the child?" Chen Zhanshan thought of the past, and endless sadness surged in his heart.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about other people's affairs." Lin couldn't bear to see the man sad, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Boss, Qing girl is coming back soon, shouldn't we prepare something to eat quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhanshan quickly counted the days on his fingers, "In a few days it will be the end of the month. Last time she said she wanted to bring Xiaohan back with her, so we should prepare a few more dishes that our daughter likes."
"Yes, yes, yes, both children are back. They love the stir-fried gourd strips with pork slices that I made. I have to soak the gourd strips in advance!" Lin said, and turned around to get busy.
Qingshui Town.
Jishidiang is already on the right track, with patients coming to see patients constantly. Fortunately, Li An's medical skills are good, so Chen Qingqing rarely needs to see patients.
Everyone in the town knew that Ruyilou was under the protection of the Fan family, so no one dared to cause trouble, and the business was booming.
Chen Feng also realized the importance of knowledge. He had already registered at the Confucius Academy and would take time out every day to study.
Although the business of Qingfeng Restaurant is not as good as before, Wu Duoduo's stay in Ruyi Restaurant was not in vain. He has figured out the hot and sour noodles so well that the taste is pretty good and it has attracted many diners.
Early that morning, Chen Qingqing planned to go to the Confucius Academy to pick up Chen Han and take him home to visit his parents, and also to check on the growth of the beets in the field.
If the beet harvest is good, she will consider whether to expand production further.
Chen Qingqing stood in front of the Confucius Academy with great anticipation. She missed that brat quite a bit after not seeing him for a few months. She wondered if he had grown taller or gained weight.
Suddenly, a familiar figure jumped into my eyes. It was Chen Han. I hadn't seen him for a few months and he had obviously grown taller. His blue gown was above his knees. Although the gown didn't fit him well, it couldn't hide his upright posture.
Chen Han also saw Chen Qingqing at a glance, his eyes lit up instantly, and he ran over quickly, "Sister, I missed you so much!"
Chen Qingqing wanted to reach out and touch his little head, but she found that he had grown to be as tall as herself without her noticing. She patted his arm gently.
"I miss you too. Let's go home."
The two of them got on the carriage, which slowly headed towards Nanshan Village.
******
As the saying goes, "I am not afraid of no good things, I am afraid of no good people".
Ever since Old Lady Chen got the upper hand, she has been sticking to Chen Zhanshan like a dog-skin plaster.
The old couple did nothing all day long but waited at the door. As soon as they saw Chen Zhanshan coming home, they would follow him.
He walked into the house without caring about anything. As soon as he saw food, he would go up and spit on it, then touch everything and eat and take it.
Chen Zhanshan and his wife were disgusted. Faced with the old couple's almost rogue behavior, they said what they had to say.
But the two of them were so thick-skinned that even a needle couldn't pierce them. No matter how they were ridiculed, they still did their own thing.
Chen Zhanshan and his wife were extremely troubled by this. They had no choice but to close the door tightly, just like they were guarding against thieves.
As the saying goes, "Old ginger is spicy, young loaches are slippery, and old rabbits are hard for eagles to catch."
They completely underestimated Mrs. Chen's ability.
Seeing the door closed, Old Lady Chen just smiled faintly and thought to herself,
You have a plan, I have a ladder.
The devil is one foot high, the Tao is ten feet high.
You are still a little naive to fight with me!
The old couple were still waiting outside the door. As soon as they saw Chen Zhanshan and his wife enter the house, they would squeeze in if they could.
If I really can't squeeze in, I'll just pretend to be someone from the sugar factory and knock on the door. It always works!
One day, the old couple was sitting in the yard chatting when they saw a carriage passing by the gate.
"Old woman, it seems that dead girl is back." Old man Chen stretched his neck and looked outside the gate.
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips in disdain. "Come back if you want. What does it have to do with us?"
"Oh my goodness, this is a serious matter. That coward Chen Zhanshan will definitely have to complain to this damn girl. This damn girl is not an easy person to deal with. If she really causes trouble for us, what will we do?"
"Look at your little ambition. Even if that damned girl knew about it, what could she do? Don't forget, we are the parents of the scholar. If she really dares to make trouble and make me unhappy, I will immediately go to the county government to complain. With my son's status and position, if the county magistrate doesn't beat her to death, she will be very lucky."
"Yes, you are right, old lady. I don't think they dare to cause us any trouble, but we will have to eat mixed flour steamed bread for the next few days."
"Yeah," Old Lady Chen couldn't help but sigh, "This little bitch isn't as easy to deal with as those two wimps. If she really gets angry, I really can't stop her."
Old Man Chen nodded in agreement, "Then let's not stand guard outside the door for the next few days."
"Why are you still standing there? Wait until that damn girl leaves!"
Old Mrs. Chen is self-aware and knows that soft persimmons are easy to pinch but hard bones are hard to chew. If you can't afford to provoke them, you can avoid them.
She had a good idea, but she couldn't resist her greed.
I'm used to eating sweet food and can't stand sour food. I can't stand it after two days.
Looking at the mixed flour steamed bread in front of him, he complained to Old Man Chen, "This thing is inedible. It's too irritating to the throat."
