"What, what?" Wu Lian asked in disbelief and confusion.
If Chen Zhen still didn't understand what was going on after seeing this, then all his fame over the years would have been in vain.
So he repeated what he had said before, and then asked Wu Lian: "Do you want to resist? Do you want to stop being bullied like this?"
"No, no way. If they knew, they would definitely beat me even harder." Wu Lian quickly refused when he heard the word "resist".
It's not like I haven't thought about resisting before, but who could possibly manage household chores? Once the door is locked, who could possibly know what's going on inside? Good or bad, isn't it all up to the family to decide? And resisting would only bring him more severe beatings and scolding.
Seeing that he was afraid, Chen Zhen comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. I will make the decision for you when the time comes. Just tell me whether you still want to live your current life. If you meet your family, would you dare to resist?"
Wu Lian fell silent after hearing this. He definitely didn't want to live his current life, but what good would it do if he resisted this time? As long as he stayed in that family, he would not be able to escape the beatings and scoldings of his family.
Thinking of this, Wu Lian said to Chen Chen apologetically: "Brother Chen, don't worry about me. I don't have as good kung fu as you. I can't beat them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said angrily: "Can't beat them? If you can't beat them, why don't you use a stick? If that doesn't work, then use a knife. Although you are a brother, you are also a man at heart, right?
If you are a man, don't be timid. If anyone dares to hit you, just hit him back. If you don't go crazy, others will drive you crazy. So you might as well go crazy once to show them so that they won't dare to mess with you again.
After saying this, Chen Chen looked at Wu Lian again and asked, "You are 10 years old now, right?"
"12 years old." Wu Lian said timidly.
"12 years old? You've only grown this much at 12? Your younger brother Wu Tiezhu looks older than you." Chen Chen said without any politeness.
Then he continued, "You are 12 years old now. You can get married in two or three years, right? Considering your family's situation, do you think they will find a good marriage for you? It's good enough that they don't sell you off.
So if you don't resist now, when are you going to resist? When they push you into another pit of fire, will you resist again?
And if you don't fight back once, you'll be exploited by them for the rest of your life. You, your future family, and your children will all be unable to escape their clutches. If you don't think about yourself, think about your future children, right? Do you want to see them living the same life you're living now?"
"No, I don't want to." Wu Lian said with courage.
"That's right, you don't want to." Chen Chen said, "If anyone bullies you, you should bully him back. If he wants you dead, you should make him lose a piece of flesh.
Looking at you, you must be starving and underfed at home, right? Every household has a few chickens and ducks these days. If they don't let you eat, why don't you grab a knife, catch a chicken or duck from the cage, and kill it for yourself?
Why do you care if they scold you? The most important thing is that you are full. If they don't give you food every day, you can kill chickens and ducks every day. Do you think they will give you food later? After all, a chicken and a duck costs at least 40 coins each. How much does a bowl of rice cost?"
After hearing these words, Wu Lian said in confusion: "Can we still do this?"
"Of course," Chen Chen said matter-of-factly, "Your hands and feet are on your own body anyway. Isn't it up to you to decide whether to kill chickens and ducks? If you kill chickens and ducks, your parents won't chop off your hands, right? If they really dare to do that, then you can go to the government office and sue them and let them be beaten with a stick."
After listening to the conversation between Chen Zhen and the young man, Li Mo quietly walked over to He Jinshu and asked him, "Xiaoshu, is it really okay for this brother-in-law to openly teach that young man to do this?"
"What's the problem? Ah Zhen is teaching him not to suffer losses. I think Ah Zhen teaches him well." He Jinshu said as if it was a matter of course.
Li Mo looked at He Jinshu in disbelief after hearing this. "You weren't like this before. Where are the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor that you always talked about? Are they all gone after you get married?"
And what's with your tone and expression right now? You seem so sullen.
Wu Lian, who was standing aside, was silent for a long time after hearing what Chen Chen said. Then he looked up and said to Chen Chen with a firm expression: "Brother Chen, I will listen to you. I will resist."
Just like what Chen Zhen said, if he didn't resist now, when would he resist? Would he wait until they harmed him?
Even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his future children. Since Shen Zhen is willing to help him now, he will try his best. At worst, both of them will die, which is better than letting them torture to death.
Besides, he had already died once today. If Chen Zhen hadn't saved him, he would have died on the mountain long ago. In this way, there was nothing to be afraid of him.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Chen Zhen said with relief, "That's right. When you get back, just listen to my arrangements. I promise that no one will dare to bully you again."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Shen." Wu Lian nodded and said gratefully.
After talking about Wu Lian, Chen Chen walked over to He Jinshu and said to him, "Ah Shu, they actually dared to ignore my words. This is simply an insult to me. I'm very angry. I'm going to go back and deal with them."
"Okay, then I'll have someone invite Village Chief Wu for you."
"I must invite Village Chief Wu and the elders as well. I must teach them a lesson, otherwise they won't know how I, Chen Chen, got my name."
"Okay, no problem." He Jinshu nodded calmly and responded.
Li Mo, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but complain in his heart that this couple was really terrible. He should stay away from them in the future.
