Seeing Chu Chen's arrogance, Tie Zhu's mother cried out to Village Chief Wu, "Village Chief, are you just not going to do anything? Are you just going to watch this guy act so arrogantly in our village?"
Intervene? How? Village Chief Wu thought to himself, I don't have their money, and I can't beat them. Today, they are still right. I want to intervene, but how do you want me to intervene?
I told you a long time ago not to mess with this guy, but you refused to listen. Didn’t you learn enough from the last lesson, and now he’s doing it again. Who can do anything about this?
Although Village Chief Wu thought so, he couldn't say it. He only said objectively: "No matter what, you are the ones who made the mistake first. It's not your place to interfere with who Mr. He wants to marry, and you shouldn't use this matter to insult him. So it's up to you whether to apologize or not."
He is the village chief of a dilapidated village. He has little money but a lot of troubles to deal with. He is too lazy to take care of them now.
At this moment, a villager who was watching the excitement reminded Tie Zhu's mother, "Tie Zhu's mother, don't you go home and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Tiezhu's mother no longer cared about anything else and immediately pulled her son home.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Zhen also prepared to go home with Grandma He. Before leaving, he said thank you to Village Chief Wu. He felt that Village Chief Wu was a good person, at least fair.
Village Chief Wu just waved his hand at Chen Chen without saying anything. He now gets a headache whenever he sees this guy. Every time he sees him, they are either fighting or arguing, and there is no peace.
On the way home with Grandma He, Grandma He told Chen Zhen, "Brother Zhen, don't spend money like this in the future. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this."
Chen Zhen nodded casually and said, "I understand, Grandma He."
After the two returned to the He family, Chen Chen went into the house to see Grandpa He first.
Grandpa He's legs were broken a few years ago. Usually when He Jinshu was not at home, he would stay on the bed in his room because Grandma He could not hold him.
Only when He Jinshu is around will she take him out of the room to bask in the sun.
After Chen Chen greeted Grandpa He, he said, "Grandpa He, do you want to go out and bask in the sun?"
Grandpa He smiled and said, "Then please, Brother Zhen, carry me out."
After hearing this, Chen Zhen lifted the quilt, carried Grandpa He to the chair in the main hall, and made him a pot of tea.
After that, he went to the kitchen to cook, and Grandma He followed him to the kitchen to help.
While helping Chen Zhen clean up the chickens, Grandma He asked Chen Zhen, "Brother Zhen, how did you get to know Xiaoshu?"
"That day I went to Wu Ergou's house to fight, and on the way back I met Ah Shu. I knew he was the one for me at first sight, so that's how we met." Chen Chen replied.
After hearing what Chen Chen said, Grandma He thought, did Chen Ge'er fall in love with Xiao Shu at first sight? It would be such a pity if Xiao Shu missed such a good boy like Chen Ge'er. She would have to talk to Xiao Shu about it later.
After asking the two old people about their tastes, Chen Chen stewed half a chicken with mushrooms into a pot of chicken soup, made the other half into braised chicken with scallion oil, and made another into crispy chicken, and then stir-fried a plate of vegetables.
He Jinshu's family ate brown rice, so Chen Zhen had no choice but to make brown rice, thinking that the next time he came, he would bring some refined rice for Grandma He and the others.
After accompanying the two old people to dinner, Chen Zhen sat with them in the yard for a while.
When a few people were chatting in the yard, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Zhen stood up and opened the door, only to see a woman standing outside with a child of seven or eight years old.
When Chen Chen saw the newcomers, he asked directly, "Are you here to apologize?"
The woman said embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm really sorry, children are ignorant and have caused you trouble."
Chen Chen didn't respond to her words, but just turned sideways and said, "The people you should apologize to are Grandpa He and Grandma He."
Seeing this, the woman pulled the child forward and said to Grandma He, "Aunt He, the child is ignorant and has caused you trouble. I'm really sorry."
After saying that, he pulled the child with his hand and asked him to apologize to Grandma He.
The little boy clasped his hands and stammered, "I'm sorry, Grandma He, I was wrong. I will never knock on your door again."
Seeing this, Grandma He didn't know what to say. She just said that it's okay as long as you admit your mistakes and correct them.
Seeing that Grandma He wasn't angry, the boy's mother tentatively asked, "Aunt He, our child knows he was wrong and has apologized. Can we just let this slogan-shouting incident go?"
When Grandma He heard this, she did not agree immediately, but looked in the direction of He Chen and asked what he meant.
Seeing this, Chen Chen directly refused and said, "No, your apology offsets the door-smashing incident, but what about the reputation of our Ah Shu that was ruined by your child? This has not been made up for yet. Come to the He family tomorrow and shout the slogan 100 times, not once less. If you miss one, I will come to you again."
"I won't shout, that would be too embarrassing." The little boy looked at Chen Chen and said stubbornly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen blindly said, "What's there to be ashamed of? It's your blessing to be able to sing praises to scholars. Maybe if you say it more often, you can also become the top scorer in the imperial examination."
After hearing this, the little boy asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Chen Zhen continued to deceive, "How could it be true? Haven't you seen those scholars start their morning reading before dawn? They shout so loudly, and they all come this way, so what do you have to be ashamed of?"
The little boy thought it made sense, so he agreed and said, "Okay, I'll come over and shout slogans tomorrow."
Seeing this, Chen Zhen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you can go back first. Report on time at Sishi tomorrow. This thing will only work if you shout it in the morning. Got it?"
"Don't worry, I will come on time tomorrow." The little boy patted his chest and promised.
Then he took his mother home.
Seeing this, Grandma He hesitated and said, "Brother Zhen, is this okay?"
Wouldn't this be too damaging?
Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Grandma He. These kids have been taught the wrong way. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't learn their lesson."
After hearing this, Grandma He didn't know what to say and could only acquiesce to Chen Zhen's behavior.
After staying with the two of them for a while, he carried Grandpa He back to the house, and then Shen Zhen returned to the Shen family.
When she got home, Shen's mother was about to go to the kitchen to cook. Seeing Shen Chen coming back, she said sarcastically: "Oh, you still remember to come back? Why didn't I invite you to dinner?"
When Chen Chen heard this, he was confused and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? You're talking so strangely."
After hearing this, Mother Shen rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and went straight to the kitchen to cook.
