Chapter 288 The Annoying Chen Ergou
They thought things would finally settle down, but it seems Chen Ergou just can't stop.
While Wan Qiqi was busy in the kitchen for a while, Chen Yongliang came to complain to her, followed by Chen Yongxing...
Finally, Chen Yongnian came in looking rather unwell, as if he too had encountered some troubles.
Wan Qiqi was frustrated. How could Chen Ergou alone cause the three brothers to suffer such a setback?
Just because Chen Ergou is older and the elder brother, does that mean he can bully his younger brother at will?
However, time did not end there; in fact, it intensified.
"Waaah... Mother..." Pingping rushed over and hugged Wan Qiqi's leg tightly.
Then, An'an came in wiping away her tears, "Waaah... Mom, Uncle bullied me... He not only took away my bird, but also said he would beat the wolf cub to death..."
Holy crap!
Wan Qiqi cursed inwardly.
This person is really taking advantage of us, even bullying children!
Wang Zhi, Old Mrs. Chen, and Yunniang all looked over at the same time.
Wan Qiqi's face darkened rapidly, and her hand holding the spatula trembled.
Grandma Chen glanced at Wang Zhi and gestured for her to go and take a look.
The Chen family was feasting on fish and meat; she didn't want to be sent back to the old house by Wan Qiqi because of these things.
Wang Zhi lowered her eyes and sighed. She walked to Wan Qiqi's side, took the spatula from her hand, and said in a low voice, "Qiqi, you take care of this. I'll handle the kitchen."
Grandma Chen was so shocked her jaw almost dropped!
Is this her daughter-in-law?
She was clearly told to go and comfort Wan Qiqi, to stop her from getting angry.
As a result, this person took the work from Wan Qiqi and let her handle it!
What to deal with?
Are they going to kick her grandson out on New Year's Eve and let him go hungry?
That won't do!
No matter how bad the grandson is, he is still a descendant of the Chen family.
Wan Qiqi had only taken two steps when she was immediately pulled back by Old Mrs. Chen.
Grandma Chen laughed and said, "Oh dear, Qiqi, don't be angry. It's not good to keep wild animals at home, so you can't blame Ergou. But don't worry, Grandma will never let Ergou do that!"
Wan Qiqi glanced at Old Madam Chen, a hint of disgust in her eyes.
If the old lady could really control Chen Ergou, the Chen family wouldn't look so bad.
It's a perfectly good year, and we shouldn't let this person ruin our good luck and make us unhappy while eating.
She said coldly, "Grandma, look how Pingping and An'an are crying. We can't cook anymore. Why don't I have Yongnian take some vegetables and send them back while it's still early?"
Grandma Chen immediately let go of Wan Qiqi's hand, her smile freezing on her face!
She doesn't want to go back to eat!
Although Yunniang did all the housework.
But Yunniang's cooking was just so-so, not as good as the Chen family's, and she had to help out herself.
At the Chen family home, she only had to watch and wait for the food to be cooked and eaten.
She immediately forced a fawning smile and said, "Ergou is really going too far. It's one thing to bully Yunniang at home, but to bully the child here is another. He deserves to be scolded!"
Wan Qiqi ignored them and led Pingping and An'an outside.
Her two chubby little ones, whom she had raised with great care, were bullied and came to her crying. How could she just sit idly by?
No matter what, she can still support her two little ones.
Chen Ergou has made a mess of the Chen family, so don't blame her for being ruthless!
As soon as they reached the passageway between the kitchen and the main room, they heard Chen Ergou calling out from the main room.
"Master Wan? Hah... Your adoptive father did such a heinous thing, he really disgraced Yunhe County!"
"Wanrong is so hypocritical, and you, his adopted son, are probably no better! You came to Lotus Village with my sister-in-law because you wanted her money, didn't you? Let me tell you, her money belongs to the Chen family, and you won't get a single penny!"
"Hey! I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
"I'll kill you, you son of a murderer. You'd better get out of the Chen family..."
As Chen Ergou was speaking, he suddenly met Wan Ziyan's calm eyes, and his words came to an abrupt halt.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression from the person sitting in front of him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Wan Ziyan released the calmed-down monkey and stood up from the chair.
He was relatively tall and looked down at Chen Ergou, saying in a deep voice, "His Majesty's decree states that I have no connection with the deceased Master Wan. By saying this, aren't you going against His Majesty's will?"
Chen Ergou was rendered speechless by Wan Ziyan's retort.
Although he was not very discreet in his speech, he knew that one could not speak carelessly about the emperor, or one would be beheaded.
He swallowed hard and said, "Even if you have nothing to do with him anymore, you must have come to Lotus Village for a reason. You want my sister's money!"
Wan Ziyan sneered, "You think that confiscating my property will leave me penniless? I am not very capable, but my monthly salary is more than what you earn in a year. Is a mere hundred taels worth me coming all the way to Lotus Village?"
Chen Ergou took two steps back, trying to control himself and not panic, but he could not hide the panic in his expression.
He couldn't understand why this person spoke so calmly, yet every word felt like a sharp blade cutting into him.
"You...I...I don't believe you!"
A hint of disgust flashed in Wan Ziyan's cold eyes.
He glanced at Wan Qiqi in the passageway out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze paused for a moment.
Wan Qiqi never expected Chen Ergou to be so bold as to provoke Wan Ziyan.
Wan Ziyan is usually gentle and seems harmless, but he is actually an ordinary person who can attract the attention of officials in the capital who want him to enter officialdom.
She smiled gently at Wan Ziyan and nodded, signaling him to continue.
