Such a righteous and understanding girl, it seems like it wouldn't be bad if she could really marry the eldest brother.
Chen Qingqing's fondness for Wu Cuihua grew even stronger, and she said sweetly, "Sister Cuihua, you're such a kind person."
Hearing her praise herself, Wu Cuihua laughed and teased, "You little rascal, your older brother said you're the most honest among your family members, but in my opinion, you're a clever little devil."
"No, I was just telling the truth!"
Chen Qingqing was speaking from the heart. Although Wu Cuihua was Wu Shiren's biological daughter, she was completely different from her father.
Wu Shiren was stingy and miserly, but Wu Cuihua was generous and kind-hearted. Every time Chen Zhanshan came to visit Chen Feng, she would secretly bring him some food.
Although the people in the main house never ate the food that was taken back, it cannot be denied that Wu Cuihua was a kind-hearted girl.
The two chatted for a while, then Chen Feng hurriedly came over.
Wu Cuihua quickly stood up, "Chen Feng, are you done with your work? Sit down and rest for a while."
"Thank you, Cuihua, for spending so much money." Chen Feng looked grateful as he saw the leftover steamed buns on the table.
"Why are you being so polite with me? I get along well with Qingya, and I like her a lot. You should invite her to come often in the future."
"It's a blessing that you like my little sister. I'll definitely make sure she comes to visit you often."
"Okay, you guys chat, I'll go get back to work."
Seeing Wu Cuihua leave, Chen Feng took a closer look at his sister and suddenly noticed the scabbed wound on her forehead.
He frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Little sister, what happened to your injury? Who bullied you?"
Chen Qingqing was taken aback. She had clearly covered her wound with her hair, yet Chen Feng still managed to spot it. It seemed he truly loved the original owner's younger sister.
Seeing the undisguised concern in his eyes, she smiled slightly.
"Big brother, no one is bullying me."
"Tell me the truth, don't lie to me, did Chen Ruolan bully you again?"
"No, it wasn't Chen Ruolan, it was, it was Grandma who did it."
Chen Feng clenched his fists. "Isn't it enough that she favors Uncle San's family? Why does she have to hit you too?"
Chen Qingqing's face showed sorrow. "Big brother, you haven't been home these past few days. A lot has happened. Grandma doesn't have money to pay Uncle's tuition, so they want to sell me to Butcher Li in town as a second wife. I..."
"What? It's one thing to be biased, but to have designs on you? Who is that butcher Li? How could they dare to give you to him?"
Chen Feng was furious, clenching his fists and looking angry. "Little sister, don't be afraid. With your big brother here, I will never let them push you into the fire."
"Come on, brother, I'll take you home. If Grandma doesn't call off this marriage today, I'll break Chen Zhancai's legs. Let's see how that cripple can study then."
Chen Qingqing felt a warmth in her heart. It felt good to have an older brother who doted on and protected her. She wouldn't mind having a whole bunch of older brothers like him.
However, if Chen Zhancai's leg were actually broken, things would turn out badly, and Chen Feng might end up in jail.
She chuckled and said, "Brother, please sit down and let me finish."
Chen Feng glared angrily. His grandparents had been biased for a long time. In order to let the third branch of the family go to school, they would do anything and come up with all sorts of bad ideas. When they got vicious, they didn't care about blood ties at all.
"Little sister, don't say anything more. If I don't avenge you today, I'm not your big brother."
"Big brother, you don't need to stand up for me. Because of this incident, Father and Mother have seen through Grandpa and Grandma's true colors. We have already separated from them."
"Really?" Chen Feng was skeptical.
"Brother, you still don't believe me?"
Chen Feng frowned. "Little sister, I believe you, but Grandpa and Grandma are the kind of people who have no bottom line. As long as Uncle is wronged, they will do anything despicable."
You absolutely cannot go back after the family has separated, lest they cause trouble.
"Brother, I'll go find Manager Wu in a bit and borrow a few taels of silver from him to rent you a house in town. In a few days, we'll bring Mom, Dad, and your younger brother over. We won't get involved with them; we'll stay far away from them, out of sight, out of mind, to avoid suffering their humiliation."
Chen Qingqing chuckled, "Big brother, don't worry, no one will bully our family anymore. Our eldest branch has not only separated from them, but also written a letter severing ties."
"Sever ties?" Chen Feng frowned, then sneered, "Sever ties is good, then such family ties are better off gone!"
Recalling the scene in the kitchen, Chen Qingqing changed the subject, "Brother, come home with me. Wu Shiren has no intention of teaching you cooking. You'll never get ahead if you keep doing those dirty and tiring jobs. If you really want to learn cooking, you can find another place later."
Chen Feng frowned slightly. He could tell that Wu Shiren didn't want him to learn cooking, but when he thought of his family, he gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing.
He endured so much humiliation and worked like a slave for others, all so he could learn a trade.
I hope to earn lots of money in the future and bring my parents, younger brother, and younger sister over.
I will never live with those selfish, vicious, and cold-blooded people again. From now on, I will not be looked down upon or have to act according to others' wishes.
Now that he's cut ties with the old house, he can't leave even more. If he doesn't learn to cook and earn money, his family will definitely have a hard time.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Little sister, you underestimate your big brother. Don't let his lack of instruction fool you; I'm not stupid. I secretly learned things when the chefs weren't looking."
To be honest, I've learned a lot of cooking methods, but I just haven't had the chance to practice them.
Once I've learned enough, I'll find a job as a cook in a small restaurant, and then I'll be able to earn money.
"Once I save up some money, I'll open a restaurant. You can help me collect the money then, and our family will be able to live a good life..."
