Chapter 10 The Old Affair of the Chen Family

I heard Xiao Zhengtai talk about the situation of the three Chen Ming brothers that he knew, and thought of what Chen Ming said at night, plus his own brain supplement, Chen Afu knew some old things about the Chen family's past. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The father of the three Chen Ming brothers thought that they couldn't make money by digging in the soil, so they followed a distant relative to run a business. In the past ten years, he still earned some money and bought more than 20 acres of land for his family. I thought that I would stop running the last time, but that time I fell off a cliff on the way and died. At that time, the eldest Chen Ye was nine years old, the second Chen Ming was seven years old, and the third Chen Shi was five years old.

There were only women and children left in the family, so Chen Ming's second uncle and second aunt started to occupy their family property, moved the family to Chen Ye's house, and wanted to take over his family's fields to help manage them, and forced the widowed sister-in-law to remarry.

In people's eyes, the second uncle used the excuse that his nephew was small, and the widowed sister-in-law might remarry, and it was not wrong for him to want to help the housekeeper. But the widowed sister-in-law is determined not to marry again, and the child is smart and unwilling to be managed by relatives, which is not wrong.

However, the two uncles of the Chen family are in the prime of life, but the Chen family is orphaned and widowed, and the vast majority of the villagers think that the second uncle of the Chen family will win in the end.

Chen Ye is very thoughtful at a young age, and Mrs. Chen is not a cowardly woman, of course they will not let their property be taken away. After discussion, the two secretly sold four acres of land, and used the twenty taels of silver to give big gifts to the Gao Li Zheng family and the more respected families among the clansmen, begging them to help the orphans and widows.

These families didn't look down on the disdainful behavior of the second uncle of the Chen family, and they accepted a big gift, so they helped the mother and son of the Chen family drive away the second uncle who wanted to steal the widowed sister-in-law's nephew's family property and keep the family business.

Through this lesson, Chen Ye knew at a young age that his family must become strong so that he would not be bullied. He felt that just digging in the field did not develop, but it was too dangerous to run a business like his father. I think my two younger brothers are smart and are the seedlings of reading. persuaded Mrs. Chen to sell a few acres of land for her two younger brothers to study, but he dropped out of school when he was originally studying in a private school. He was not in a position to continue reading, and he could not read it.

Mrs. Chen belongs to the kind of woman whose husband is subordinate to her husband and her husband is subordinate to her son, and she obeys her son's arrangement.

Another four acres of land were sold, and there were eighteen acres left in the family. Since then, Chen Ye has gone out early and returned to the field with Mrs. Chen to work, and has not hired long-term workers to farm the land as before. Only when the mother and son are too busy to work on the farm, they will ask for a few days of short-term work.

Chen Ming and Chen Shi are both sensible, seeing that their mother and brother are working so hard, they also study hard. Chen Ming was born at the age of thirteen, and his husband said that he would definitely be able to show off his talents in the coming year. It's just that he got a cold in the second year, and then turned into tuberculosis, and almost didn't die, so he didn't continue his studies.

Chen Shi doesn't know how to read, but he is shrewd and lively, his mouth is extremely sweet, and he knows that he can't read a bright hall, and what he has learned is enough. When he was twelve years old, he stopped his studies and went to work as a clerk in a county shop, and later worked as a bookkeeper. Later, he married the daughter of the owner and went to Fucheng to open his own shop.

When Chen Ming was eighteen years old, the Chen family officially separated. Because Chen Ming was sick and dying at that time, the money for medical treatment was spent like water, and Chen Shi was going to Fucheng to start a business, and he also needed a lot of money.

The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and Mrs. Chen feels sorry for her second son, Chen Ming, but she doesn't want him to drag down the other two sons alone, so she proposes to split up. The family is separated, and the fields belonging to Chen Ming treat him, and if he can be cured, it is creation, and if he is not cured, he will not affect the other two sons.

There is a yard in the house, and there are sixteen acres of land left. The yard was given to the big house, and an extra acre of land was given to the big house, not only because Mrs. Chen wanted a big house for the elderly, but also because Chen Ye worked hard. The remaining fifteen acres of land were five acres for three brothers and a family.

Chen Ye first helped Chen Ming sell an acre of land, and Chen Ye and Chen Shi each added a tael of silver privately to buy the small courtyard where Chen Ming's family lives now.

As soon as the family was separated, Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye heard that the daughter of the Wang family in the neighboring village who was sold to Chen Ju's family in the neighboring town as a child daughter-in-law was brought back by her mother-in-law. They know that the daughter of the Wang family is a lucky star, and it was when she entered Chen Juren's house that she washed Chen Juren's father who was about to die. Moreover, she also learned a good hand of embroidery from Chen Juren's mother, and she can afford Chen Ming's treatment when she marries into the door.

Although the Wang family has been married once, it is not certain whether he is willing to marry a sick man like Chen Ming. Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye still went to the door in person. I didn't think about it, but I really said it.

This is another smartest decision made by Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye.

Wang entered the Chen family, not only "rushed" Chen Ming, worked hard to earn money to treat him, and gave birth to a daughter early due to an accident seven months later, and gave birth to a son a few years later. Although the girl is a fool, the son is well-behaved and sensible, but unfortunately he is lame again in the end.

The above is what Chen Afu heard about with brains, and she has more secret things that she doesn't know.

Wang's mother is a stepmother, and she said that as long as the Chen family can afford a dowry of ten taels of silver, she will marry Wang immediately. Chen Ming is already sick like that, where can he find ten taels of silver? There are still four acres of land left to save his life and live on, and he doesn't dare to sell it as a dowry.

When the mother and son of the Chen family walked out of the village in despair, the Wang family caught up with them. said that she had ten taels of silver given to her by Chen Ju's family, and she was willing to give them the silver as a dowry to marry the Chen family, but ......

Several people discussed quietly for a long time, and finally reached an agreement, Wang took out a silver ticket of ten taels of silver from the mezzanine of the sleeves of his clothes and handed it to Mrs. Chen. The Chen family asked the matchmaker to let the door propose marriage the next day, because Chen Ming was about to die of illness, and three days later, the Wang family was carried to Chen Ming's courtyard by a sedan chair.

Chen Afu thought that Mrs. Chen was still a good mother, and she really planned for her three sons. The three sons are now living different lives, but they are all living the best within their respective capabilities. If she were replaced by another village woman, her family would definitely not have a good life as her family.

Chen Ye and Chen Shi are also good brothers, especially Chen Ye, who has vision, courage, and knows how to care for his brothers appropriately, but he will not let his life go on.

Chen Ye's mother and son can do this step is not bad, at least they really plan for Chen Ming and Chen Ayuan. Although he didn't want to see himself and Dabao, he still tolerated the Wang family to raise them.

That eldest aunt Hu is Tai Chi, Chen Ming is sick and dying, this family is weak and sick except for the Wang family, where is there more money to honor her? Moreover, it is reasonable to honor Mrs. Chen and be grateful to Chen Ye, and still honor her? How old is she?

There's--that Chen Juren, uh, also surnamed Chen! That person is probably the father of this body, right? Listening to Xiao Zhengtai's meaning, it is not a secret that the Wang family has been a child daughter-in-law for Chen Juren.

He asked again, "Does Dabao know about Chen Juren?" ”

Xiao Zhengtai's big eyes purred around, and whispered, "The mother can only ask her son, don't ask grandpa and grandma." ”

Is it really a fool to be a mother? Chen Afu nodded with a smile and said, "Mother knows." ”
