Having satisfied their craving for acting and enjoyed the jokes, Cheng Yue and Chen An gave a soft laugh and prepared to leave as well.
This commotion lasted from dusk till dawn, and I was starting to get hungry.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning just smeared mud on their faces to make their performance more realistic, which shows their dedication. They should go home and take a good rest.
Seeing the mocking looks on their faces, Chen Ping was furious. "Don't be so smug!"
I wonder if the second son is blessed by a deity, because even such a flawless plan went wrong.
Moreover, those two girls had already been kidnapped, yet Chen An managed to rescue them. It was far too lenient for them!
Li Manying had already lost all face because of this incident, and now the beggar incident had made them suspects for the entire village.
They had originally hoped to share Chen Ancheng and Yue's money after the deal was done, but their attempt backfired, and they didn't get any benefit at all!
Chen Ping grew angrier the more he thought about it!
Cheng Yue turned her head away and said, "You really have a big heart. Why don't you hurry up and help your brother-in-law find his son? What if something really happens to him? How will you explain it?"
Zhao said anxiously, "What does this have to do with us! We didn't lose the child!"
Cheng Yue replied nonchalantly, "Oh."
Why bother telling her this? It's none of her business...
Chen Ping closed his eyes in anger, "Did you do this on purpose?"
He thought about it over and over and felt that something was wrong. Cheng Yue and Chen An must have known about their plan in advance, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Cheng Yue said calmly, "Are you speaking human language? I can't understand you."
She thought to herself: "It'll be your turn soon," and she couldn't be bothered to say anything more.
After saying that, she took one of Chen An's hands in each of theirs, turned around and left without looking back. Zhao Shi and Chen Ping were so angry that they pointed at their backs with one hand and trembled, while hurriedly pinching their philtrum with the other.
At this moment, they didn't know whether to hate Chen Ancheng and Yue first, or to be afraid that Zeng Youcai would never find his son.
Chen Ping was not as optimistic as Zeng Youcai. After all, he was a beggar who had spent his whole life begging for food and had never seen much silver.
Zeng Youcai only promised a pittance, and both men agreed to become kidnappers, which shows how greedy they were.
Now that they have Da Bao and Xiao Bao in their hands, it's the perfect opportunity to extort them. How could they possibly let this chance pass them by?
Zeng Youcai, but dared not report it to the authorities, was bound to suffer a great loss, and his anger might well be directed at them.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Ping hated Chen An and Cheng Yue even more. If they hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have ended up in this dilemma!
Inside the house, Chen Gen had been fast asleep until now. Upon waking, he called for his mother. Zhao Shi, jolted awake, rushed into the house shouting:
"Mother what! You don't have a mother anymore. That shameless slut of a woman has long since gone to be Zhang the Sloppy's wife!"
Chen Gen was startled and didn't know what to say. How could his mother be gone when he woke up?
Chen Ping also came in and embellished Li Manying's story. After listening, Chen Gen clenched his chubby hands and ran out of the house.
That damned Li Manying! She doesn't care about his reputation at all. He's about to get married, and she's deliberately ruining him by doing this.
How could he have such a mother! So filthy!
Before long, Chen Gen started making a scene at Zhang Lata's house, his voice getting louder and louder, and the whole village had to watch the spectacle once again.
As Cheng Yue walked up the mountain, she picked at her ear as she listened to the howling below. "If Li Manying knew that she had been tricked like this, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause?"
Chen An nodded, "Then we definitely have to let her know."
"There's no need to tell her specifically. She'll find out sooner or later. Once the troublemakers are gone, that family outside will definitely be back soon."
After Cheng Yue finished speaking, she continued, "Let Chen Ping do his job for a few more days. Once he brings the person back, we'll..."
At this point, causing damage won't be very effective. If you want to really strike someone hard, you need to do it when they are at their most triumphant.
Isn't Chen Ping's greatest pride in his job and his mistress?
Chen An had nothing to say; when that family ruthlessly plotted against him, he lost his last shred of compassion.
They took advantage of the situation, so they should bear the consequences of harming others!
Finally, Chen An sighed, "That's it. Uncle Sloppy is really unlucky. Why did Chen Ping target him..."
Cheng Yue agreed, "Uncle Sloppy was doing just fine on his own, but now there's Li Manying. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
Although Li Manying has quieted down a lot recently, that's only because he doesn't dare to target them anymore. He's still just as domineering towards others.
Although Zhang the Sloppy is an old widower, he is a decent person. Being with Li Manying, he might not be as happy as living alone.
This whole thing is ridiculous... Chen Ping is truly a scoundrel!
After returning home and having dinner, Chen An was about to go to the county town when Chen Tong pleaded, "Mother, let me go with Father."
Zeng Youcai's children were all lost, so he probably wouldn't have the time or energy to care for them. That's all in the past now, and there's no danger.
She didn't want to stay at home. Her mother and sister were making pastries, and she couldn't help them, which made her feel useless.
In comparison, it's better to go to the shop; at least she can do the accounting quickly, and it gives her a sense of accomplishment!
Most importantly, she was going to tell her older brothers, Zeng Dabao and Zeng Xiaobao, which was incredibly satisfying!
Cheng Yue knew what the girl was thinking, so she had no choice but to agree.
Chen Tong grinned, then happily went to fetch the oxcart and left with Chen An.
This child… Cheng Yue felt quite helpless, and then said to Chen Ning, “Let’s start with the two of us!”
Chen Ning nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
With the crisis over, she was no longer worried. Besides, she had witnessed quite a spectacle today, even though some of it was something she shouldn't have been watching. But since she had already seen it, she was happy.
All day long, Cheng Yue and Chen Ning focused on making pastries and zongzi in the kitchen and didn't leave the house at all.
Because the oven is in the yard, whenever something is being baked, a sweet aroma wafts out in waves.
Zhao Xiangxiu and Cuicui suffered greatly outside. On one hand, there was the indescribable smell of chicken and duck droppings, and on the other hand, there was the sweet smell of pastries. They would swallow their saliva and then feel nauseous.
Ugh! This mixture doesn't even taste as good as pure chicken and duck droppings!
