Chapter 19 Killer



Chen Chen sat down on a chair in the main hall and asked Tang Qiao, "What's wrong with mother? Who made her unhappy?"

Tang Qiao suppressed his laughter and said, "Who else could it be besides you?"

Me? Chen Zhen wondered inwardly, "My mother found out so quickly about me having manure thrown at me in Wujia Village today?"

Thinking of this, he cautiously asked Tang Qiao, "Second brother-in-law, tell me, why is mother angry with me?"

Tang Qiao looked at his eager face and said with a stifled smile, "It's because you're too nice to the He family. You've even outshined me, so I'm jealous."

After hearing this, Chen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said as if it was a matter of course: "So it's because of this? What's there to be jealous about? Isn't it normal for me to be nice to my partner?"

After hearing this, Tang Qiao smiled and said, "You should go and comfort your mother. She's been worrying a lot about your marriage."

Chen Zhen thought about it and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go help mom cook." Then he got up and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Shen was helping Mother Shen cook. When Shen Chen came in, she said to Mother Shen, "Mom, let me cook dinner tonight. You've been working hard recently. Go to the main hall and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Mother Shen didn't hesitate to give in, so she gave him her seat. After all, her brother's cooking was better.

But she didn't leave. Instead, she moved a small stool and sat there to chat with Chen Chen: "Are the two elders of the He family okay at home?"

"It's okay, but the food at home is not that good. I have to send them some food tomorrow." Chen Chen said.

Mother Shen nodded when she heard this. She had to send some food over. There were two elderly people at home, one of whom had a leg disease, so it was inconvenient for her to buy things.

Then he asked again: "How did Mr. He's leg get injured? Can it be healed?"

Shen Zhen did not answer Shen's mother's question, but only said: "Mom, don't worry about this matter. Whether it can be cured or not, Ah Shu will worry about it."

After hearing this, Shen's mother said nothing. Indeed, if there was a way, He Jinshu should have found a way to treat it long ago.

After the meal was ready, Old Man Shen, Big Brother Shen, and Second Brother Shen also came back from outside, and then the family started to eat.

A few days later, on the day when the house was to be delivered in town, Chen Chen went to town early in the morning, got the key from the landlord, and then entered the house.

Because the owner takes good care of the house, there is no major problem with it. They can move in directly as long as they buy some daily necessities.

So Chen Zhen didn't delay and went straight out to the street in the town where things were sold and bought some pots, pans, clothes and quilts.

By the time they bought these things and brought them home, it was already noon. It was definitely too late to make lunch, so Chen Zhen prepared to go out for lunch, and then call He Jinshu back for dinner, and then sleep together in the house.

After cooking in the afternoon, Chen Zhen went to the private school. It only took about 10 minutes to walk from home to the private school, so he arrived there quickly.

After the servant informed him, He Jinshu came outside and asked Chen Chen when he saw him, "What do you want from me?"

"Ashu, have you forgotten? I told you before that I bought a house in town. Why don't you come home for dinner tonight? You can also stay in the house at night." Chen Chen looked at He Jinshu and said with a smile.

He Jinshu refused immediately upon hearing this: "No, I'm fine living here at the private school. I still have to study at night, and staying at home will affect my studies."

After hearing this, Chen Chen said, "It won't affect your studies. I've prepared a room specifically for you to use as a study. You can study in the study at night. I won't disturb you. Besides, didn't you promise me last time that you would live with me in town?"

It was you who wanted to buy the house. I didn't promise to live with you, He Jinshu thought to himself, so he still refused coldly: "No, I have classmates living here. If you have any problems, we can discuss them with each other and make progress together."

Chen Zhen knew he couldn't agree to this, so he said angrily, "If you don't go home for dinner, I'll come over every day to bring you food. It's your choice. I can't have a long-distance relationship with you. Long-distance relationships are the biggest hidden killer in relationships. I will never allow any cracks in our relationship."

He Jinshu was really confused about Chen Zhen's logic. He hadn't figured out what long-distance relationships meant yet, and now there was this killer. He didn't understand. He just didn't want to go home with Chen Zhen for dinner. Could there be a killer coming to kill them both?

Seeing that He Jinshu remained silent, Chen Chen tried to persuade him again, "Ah Shu, don't be so stubborn. We're both going to get married, and we'll have to live together sooner or later. Why don't you come back and live with me? Besides, the house is so close, it won't interfere with your studies."

He Jinshu was silent for a while, and finally said, "Wait a moment."

Seeing this, Chen Zhen said happily, "Okay, you want to tell the Master, right? Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

After hearing these words, He Jinshu turned around and walked towards the private school without saying anything.

"What did you say? You won't live in the private school anymore? What happened in your family? Are you not going to study anymore?" the teacher asked in surprise.

When He Jinshu heard the teacher's question, he didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He just said with a dull face: "Someone bought a house outside, and I want to live there."

Someone? Buying a house? The Master glanced at He Jinshu suspiciously, then remembered that He Jinshu was getting married, so he said with a look of understanding: "So that's the case. Okay, then you can go. But young people should learn to be restrained and not be late or leave early."

He Jinshu didn't understand the teacher's implication and replied calmly, "I won't be late or leave early."

The master waved his hand and said, "Then you can go out. Remember to tell the kitchen not to cook your meals in the future."

He Jinshu replied yes and walked out.

After that, he packed up his things, said goodbye to the kitchen, and walked out of the private school.

Seeing He Jinshu coming out, Chen Zhen outside the door quickly took the food from him, then said with a smile, "I have prepared dinner at home, you can eat when you get home."

He Jinshu hummed lightly when he heard this.

"I sent a lot of food to grandma, you don't have to worry about them starving." Chen Chen said again.

"Thank you." He Jinshu said sincerely. Because he had to study, he had not been able to take good care of the two elderly people, which was something he felt very guilty about.

So now Shen Zhen has helped him fulfill his obligations, and he is very grateful.

When Chen Chen heard his words, he disagreed and said, "Ashu, you don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."
