Chen Qingqing quickly stepped forward to help Sun up. "Second Aunt, don't worry. What I mean is, let's go there first and check out the most dangerous places."
Chen Zhanliang quickly chimed in, "Cuiqin, let's listen to Qingya and go take a look. There's a brokerage firm just across this street."
Hearing that they were going to the brokerage firm, Chen Zhancai turned pale with fright. If he went there now, he would be in trouble if he ran into Erbao.
No, we have to stop them right away.
He quickly stepped forward, blocking the crowd's path.
"You guys are being ridiculous. What are you going to do there? Someone saw Erbao earlier and said he went down that street. Let's hurry and chase after him."
Chen Zhanliang threw a punch at him, glaring at him and warning, "Get out of my way, or I'll kill you."
Chen Zhancai instinctively backed away, "Second brother, can you please change your bad temper? Don't raise your hand to hit people so easily. If you damage my brain, Father and Mother will not let you off easily."
"Don't try to scare me with your parents. If anyone dares to mess with my son, I'll beat not only you, but also your parents."
Seeing Chen Zhancai's repeated obstruction, Chen Qingqing became even more convinced that he had something to hide. Not wanting to waste any more time, she urged him on.
"Alright, Second Uncle, stop wasting time talking to him and let's go."
The group quickly walked towards the yamen...
Chen Zhancai originally intended to sneak away, but he was startled back by a look from Xiaoyu and had no choice but to follow.
He secretly figured that if the brokerage firm wasn't busy, his parents would probably have already signed the contract and left by now.
These people would be wasting their time going there; the brokerage firm would never allow outsiders to search.
Thinking about it this way, my tense heart immediately relaxed...
Old Mr. and Mrs. Chen tricked Erbao into coming to the front of the brokerage.
Grandma Sun came up with small, quick steps, "Oh my, you've finally come! I thought you two had stood me up!"
Grandma Chen smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry, something tripped me up just now, and I kept Grandma Sun waiting."
"Alright, alright, it's good that you're here." Granny Sun glanced at Erbao. "Is this the child you're talking about?"
"Yes, it's him. Can you sign and put your fingerprint on it now?"
Old Mrs. Chen had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to look Erbao in the eye; she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Grandma Sun shook her head and smiled, "Don't be in such a hurry, I have to check the goods first!"
"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right."
"Come on, follow me inside." Granny Sun stepped into the dental clinic.
Erbao was so frightened by Granny Sun's fierce face that he hid behind Granny Chen, saying, "Grandma, I'm scared, I want to go home."
"Silly child, with Grandma here, what are you afraid of?"
"Grandma, where is this place?"
"Good grandson, this is a great place. There's good food and fun things to do. You'll definitely love it here."
"Really? I want to eat osmanthus cake and braised pork knuckle..." Erbao couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Yes, yes, we'll let you eat your fill in a bit." Old Mrs. Chen waved to Old Mr. Chen, who was still in a daze, "Hurry up and take Erbao inside."
"Let's go, Erbao. With Grandpa here, we're not afraid." Old Man Chen grabbed Erbao's hand and led him into the dental clinic.
We entered a room with tiled floors. In the center of the room was a large octagonal table, laden with pastries.
Erbao's mouth watered as he looked at it; Grandma hadn't lied to him after all, there really was something delicious.
Seeing this, Grandma Sun casually took two pieces and put them in his hand, saying, "Good boy, eat them. After you finish eating, Grandma will take you inside for a checkup."
Erbao suddenly felt that Granny Sun was no longer so scary. He casually took the gift and said with a smile, "Thank you, Granny."
"Good, he's a sensible child." Grandma Sun's face was full of smiles, but the smiles didn't reach her eyes.
She sat down, waved for Erbao to come closer, and pinched his chin, saying, "Open your mouth."
Erbao panicked, dropped the snack in his hand, and struggled to break free.
He stared at him warily, his eyes wide. "What are you going to do?"
Grandma Sun sneered coldly, "Oh, this child is quite hard to beat. Be good, open your mouth and let Grandma see your teeth."
Erbao realized the danger and immediately ran to Grandma Chen's side, "Grandma, let's go, I don't like it here."
Grandma Chen glared at him first, then coaxed him in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Grandma Sun just likes you and wants to check your teeth. Be a good girl, open your mouth and let Grandma check if you have any bad teeth."
"No, I won't let her see it." Erbao's face was full of resistance.
"Why are you so stubborn, child!" Old Mrs. Chen lost her patience and said in a commanding tone, "Hurry up and open your mouth."
Erbao cried, feeling wronged, "Grandma, you're mean to me."
"Talk to the child nicely." Old Man Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly came over to Erbao, squatted down, and said in a conciliatory tone, "Erbao, be good, listen to Grandpa, just open your mouth and let this old lady see you, and then Grandpa will take you home, okay?"
Hearing him say that, Erbao reluctantly nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa."
Grandma Sun shoved her dark, grimy fingers directly into Erbao's mouth, causing him to gag repeatedly.
Old Chen was heartbroken and couldn't help but rush forward, saying, "Grandma Sun, be gentle, the child's throat is so delicate..."
"What are you yelling for! Do you think I don't know to be quiet? Do you need to teach me?" Granny Sun rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Go wait in the back!"
Old Man Chen retreated to Old Woman Chen's side, tugged at her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Old woman, this isn't selling a child, it's just inspecting livestock. Why don't we stop selling Erbao and go back?"
"Bullshit! If we don't sell Erbao, where will we get money for our son's travel expenses? Without travel expenses, how can our son pass the imperial examinations? If our son doesn't become an official, how can we live a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing?"
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Chen angrily shook off Old Mr. Chen's hand and glared at him with the most disgusted look in her eyes.
"You're such a useless piece of trash. You can't do anything serious, but you're good at talking nonsense. If you don't want to leave, then get out and stay out of here. Don't bother me."
Old Chen shrank back after being scolded and fell silent...
