After the two left, everyone looked at Cheng Yue and Chen An, feeling both angry and worried.
"Mother, what should we do? What is he trying to do?!"
Chen Lin sounded worried. Zeng Youcai had already hired people, but he was afraid that it would be impossible to guard against them all. What if the girls were really kidnapped?
Chen Tong and Chen Ning also pouted and looked at Cheng Yue, really not understanding why Zeng Youcai wanted to kidnap them.
Cheng Yue comforted her, "Don't worry, now that you know his plan, that will definitely not happen!"
As for what Zeng Youcai was planning to do, Cheng Yue had already guessed roughly, "He must have found out that the shop is backed by Master Chen, so he thought of kidnapping Xiaotong and Xiaoning to blackmail us."
The purpose of kidnapping is nothing more than two things: to kill or to obtain money. If someone has money, they wouldn't dare to kill; therefore, it can only be to obtain money.
Furthermore, if he only wanted revenge, he wouldn't have gone to a dilapidated temple to find someone; he would have found a matchmaker or something and sold the child.
But he didn't do that, and Cheng Yue understood after thinking about it carefully.
After hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't meant to kill them. But the relief was only temporary, and they started to feel anxious again.
After all, it's kidnapping no matter what, and who knows what might happen?
Chen An asked doubtfully, "They also said they would act in the chaos. I wonder what kind of trouble they're going to cause?"
Cheng Yue said, "It should be related to Chen Ping going home, but we don't know the specifics."
Chen Ping has a mistress who has given birth to a child who is currently studying. Now that Chen Gen has lost all hope, Chen Ping will definitely make his mistress's status official as soon as possible so that he can openly and legitimately reclaim the child.
Could it be that Chen Ping went home to resolve this matter? Is he going to cooperate with Zeng You? But what are they planning to do?
Seeing Cheng Yue frowning, Chen An could only advise, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. Anyway, we're going home. Just be more careful."
Cheng Yue sighed, "Alright, we'll play it by ear."
Chen Lin was a little worried. "Father, Mother, why don't I go home with you tonight?"
Since Zeng Youcai dared not cause trouble at the shop, everyone was safe. But since things weren't peaceful at home, he couldn't hide here.
Cheng Yue shook her head, "You can't go back. You stay at the shop. Your father and I will protect your sisters."
After thinking it over, Chen Lin had no choice but to agree. If he went along, it would be even more dangerous for him. If something really happened, he would not only be unable to protect his sisters, but he would also delay his parents' affairs.
After they finished speaking, Cheng Yue and the others prepared to go home.
Upon arriving in town, the oxcart turned and headed towards the dock; she needed to inform Uncle Chen about this matter.
Meanwhile, Chen Ping had already arrived home when he happened to run into Zhao Shi and Li Manying fighting.
When Zhao saw Chen Ping return, she immediately burst into tears: "Son! You're finally back! Your wife doesn't cook or sweep the floor, she just waits for me to serve her. What a disgrace to our family! Son, divorce her! Divorce her!"
Chen Ping's head started buzzing again, and he closed his eyes in anger.
Li Manying was caught in the act by Chen Ping and was just about to explain when Chen Ping said to Zhao Shi, "Mother! Please calm down. Even if Manying is not good, she has still given me two good sons. How can you divorce her?"
"There are so many things to do at home, just lend a hand. If she won't do it, you can. Why are you complaining all the time? You're just making yourself a laughingstock!"
Zhao choked on her breath, her face turning red. She pointed at Li Manying and then at herself. These were the words of her eldest son.
Just as Chen Ping's eyes were about to twitch, Zhao finally realized that she had deliberately said it for Li Manying to hear!
She said, "How could my good son help that slut Li Manying to talk about her?"
It seems she will soon meet her new daughter-in-law and grandson. Let Li Manying be proud for a while!
Li Manying never expected Chen Ping to say such a thing. Although she felt something was off, she was still overwhelmed with joy.
Even when they were newly married, Chen Ping was indifferent to her and would only blame her for anything. When had he ever defended her like that?
"Husband, it was my fault. I was just saddened to see Xiaogen like this, and I couldn't control my emotions. That's why I was a little rude to Mother. I will definitely change!"
Chen Ping nodded with a forced smile, "Yes! I understand, but we can't do that again."
This is for you, take it. I know you love snacks, so I bought some especially for you. You've been working hard lately.
And this meat, I'll cook it later, and our family can have a nice reunion dinner.
Li Manying accepted it with both hands, her heart overflowing with joy. After fifteen years of marriage, she finally understood what happiness meant!
"I remember, it won't happen again. I'll go cook now!"
Chen Ping sneered inwardly. Women are so easily fooled; no matter how clever you are, it's all for naught!
After washing up in the evening, Chen Ping looked at Li Manying with tender eyes and pulled her into the house, making her heart pound and her face flush with embarrassment.
"My husband, we..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Manying felt dizzy and fainted.
Chen Ping kicked him, "Wake up! Wake up!"
There was no movement.
Zhao crawled in, "Son, is this medicine any good?"
