The Little Widower (farming)

74

The Chen family is either advancing or retreating. When Meng Qi and the others came in the morning, they had already attracted the attention of the villagers.

At this moment, everyone in the village was gathered in front of Chen Qing's house, ready to watch the excitement.

The reputation of the Chen family is not good in the village. I don't know why, but the village children who are supposed to be as tough as cattails are particularly difficult to raise in their village. Many families in the village have only one child.

But the Chen family has a lot of children, so they are very proud in the village. Because there are many brothers in the family, they can bully the children of the same age in the village at will.

Until these few years, the Chen family seems to have suffered retribution. Chen Dabao, who got married early, still has no children, and the other brothers of the Chen family have not been able to give birth to children either.

The villagers let out a vicious sigh, but still did not dare to openly quarrel with the Chen family until today.

The people who were guarding Chen Laosan's house looked like they couldn't be offended. The swords were shining coldly in the hot sun.

The other two sons of Chen Hu's family, namely Shuang Baotai, rushed home, took out a kitchen knife and walked in front: "If you are afraid of a ball, fight with them!"

The two of them stepped forward and talked to Zhou Yuan who was standing at the door. Looking at each other, Zhou Yuan has actually been suppressing the anger in his heart for the past two days. He does not think that the Chen family is Chen Qing's relatives, these are just the murderers who caused harm to Chen Qing.

Mrs. Chen pulled the two brothers back and stepped forward. She looked around at the people guarding the house, but Chen Qing was nowhere to be seen.

She smiled: "That bitch Chen Qing, how much did you pay to come here?"

Zhou Yuan didn't like what Old Mrs. Chen said very much, and he labeled Chen Qing with one mean word after another, so he didn't say anything. , but aimed at Old Mrs. Chen, waved a dagger and flew out, passing in front of Old Mrs. Chen's cheek, taking the scarf on her head with it, and nailed it with the dagger to the girl not far away. On a tree.

The feeling of the dagger grazing her cheek made Old Mrs. Chen's knees weaken instantly. She slumped down on the ground, and little water marks appeared on the originally dry ground.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "If I hear you scolding A Qing from your mouth again, your head will fly out next time."

The twin brothers rushed up and wanted to chop Zhou Yuan with the knife in their hands. They even Before he could see Zhou Yuan's movements clearly, the kitchen knife in his hand had already flown out. Zhou Yuan grabbed one with one hand without any effort.

Then other people in the escort agency came forward. Chen Qing heard the sound and ran out. When he saw Zhou Yuan confronting the Chen family, he immediately looked up and down at Zhou Yuan, for fear that he would be injured again.

Zhou Yuan touched his hair: "I'm fine."

Then Chen Qing saw Old Mrs. Chen slumped on the ground and her two brothers who had just been taken care of.

Chen Qing walked up to Old Mrs. Chen and looked at her condescendingly. Old Mrs. Chen was still shaking. The brother who always seemed to be timid had grown up. In the past, how could he dare to stand in front of him and speak.

"My father and my younger father built the house, and this homestead also belongs to them. Whether it is burned or bulldozed, I will not let your family enjoy the house they have worked hard for half a life to get." Chen Qing's voice was steady, not trembling like before.

"I just don't understand, we are also your children, how can your heart be so biased." These words should have been asked by the father himself, but he can never ask them again.

"My child, he is just a bastard." Old Mrs. Chen couldn't stand up because she was wet. "I raised him with a mouthful of food. It's already a kindness on my part. What else do you want me to do? "

It turned out that Chen Qing's father was not Mrs. Chen's biological child at all, but was brought back by Mr. Chen from outside. Mrs. Chen firmly believed that this was a bastard born by Mr. Chen outside, so she beat and scolded her father at every turn. It would be better if he died.

After receiving the compensation from the murderer, she felt that the Chen family's father finally had some value in living. His reckless husband wanted to sue the government, so she took care of his timid husband as well. Ichiban.

It wasn't until Chen Qing sold herself that she could never come back, that she felt her life was going smoothly. Unexpectedly, the son of a bastard would dare to come back and cause trouble for them!

Hearing what Mrs. Chen said, Chen Qingcai finally felt relieved: "No wonder it is like this."

Although Mrs. Chen was unkind, his father was filial and would still give Mrs. Chen money when his own family was in poverty. , I think this is probably to thank her for her upbringing. What her father has repaid is enough.

"No matter how you make trouble today, I can't let your family live in the house anymore." Chen Qing said, "I have the documents from the Yamen and the deed of this homestead. If you still want to make trouble, we won't You 're soft-hearted. It's all my fault..."

Mrs. Chen wanted to scold Chen Qing, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Zhou Yuan standing aside like a god, so she had to stop. I endured the rest.

Seeing so many people, the Chen family had no choice but to give up. Chen Dabao's family temporarily lived with the old lady.

It is not easy to build a house in the village. Ms. Lin didn't want to serve her parents-in-law, let alone the old lady, so she found an excuse to go back to her parents' home. The remaining Chen family members were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Now Chen Qing is no longer the little brother who lets them bully him. He is married to a man who seems to be very rich and powerful. It is impossible to get any favors from him.

"He will leave eventually, right? Just wait until he leaves and then move in!" said the unmarried daughter of Chen Hu's family, "Do we have to rob him now?"

This girl's name is Chen Mei, although this year At eighteen, the matchmaker is about to cross the threshold, but the Chen family has been picking and choosing. She is not married yet and has to sleep with her grandmother at night.

Although the Chen family has a bad reputation in the village, everyone in the village wants to marry the younger brother and sister of the Chen family, just to see if Chen Meixiang is as fertile as the Chen family.

"What do you, a daughter of a family, know?" Chen Hu's daughter-in-law said, "We can't let the boss still live with us now."

Chen Mei snorted, opened the door and went out.

Although the Chen family was anxious, they were helpless. The family lived tightly in a courtyard. Especially when they heard that Chen Qing was going to make up for the funerals of his two fathers, Mrs. Chen was even more angry. Smashed the bed.

When the old man died, they didn't even hold a ceremony, and they couldn't even afford a coffin. They just used a straw sweep and set off a bunch of firecrackers and that was it. Now Chen Qing, that little boy, wants to hold a funeral for someone who has been dead for so many years. , this is a slap in their face.

But there was nothing they could do. There were too many people to beat them, and they didn't dare to scold them. Who knew if Chen Qing's husband would go crazy?

The day after the confrontation with the Chen family, the people from the escort agency went back first, leaving Meng Shuanzi to accompany them here so that Chen Qing and the others could guard the house when they went out.

Chen Qing took Zhou Yuan to his father's grave.

It's not quite accurate to say it's a tomb. It's just a tomb bag. After so many years of exposure to wind and sun, its outline has become invisible.

Chen Qing followed his memory and found his father's grave. Before he could speak, he burst into tears. Zhou Yuan knelt down with him without wiping his tears. He needed some time to vent his emotions.

"I, I'm back, dad, I'm sorry, I just came back now..."

"I'm unfilial, I didn't protect my little dad..."

"I..."

Zhou Yuan still pulled him over: "Stop crying, A Qing "

"Dad, I'm getting married. This is Zhou Yuan. He's very good. If it weren't for him, I might not even be able to come back." Chen Qing wiped his tears carelessly, "I came back this time to take you back to where we are now." "My home is very, very good there, there is no wind and sand, there are many trees, there is a lot of water, it is very good."

Chen Qing finally understood Aunt Sun's chattering when she went to the grave. There was always a lot to say, but Zhou Yuan was just quiet. Accompanying him all the time, he kept talking a lot and even talked about the pigs raised at home.

After a long time, Chen Qing stood up and said, "Dad, I want to see my little dad now."

Dad and little dad were not buried together. People from the Chen family helped dig dad's grave, while dad's grave was only He dug alone, so it was very crude. When Chen Qing was digging, he was afraid that he would not find it, so he specially found a place where he could have a reference. There was a poplar tree not far from the Hun River. He was buried under the poplar tree.

The wind and sand here are so strong that only white poplars can grow.

Chen Qing saw the poplar tree, and the wind and sand had completely blown away the grave bag. Chen Qing knelt beside the tree. He had complicated feelings for his little dad. During the time he was wandering, he actually resented him.

It's obvious that the two of them can live a good life, so why do they have to think about it?

After he met Aunt Sun and experienced the pain of losing her son with Aunt Sun, Chen Qing finally understood his younger father. He was soft-tempered and timid. In a village where the Chen family was rampant, he felt that he had brought Chen Qing with him. He couldn't survive at all. Chen Qing could get married. Should he follow Chen Qing when he got married?

I heard from Brother Du Feng that he went to find Du Feng before leaving. How desperate must he have been to go to Du Feng, who was not very old at that time.

"Dad, I'm back." Chen Qing patted the land gently, "I'm fine now, have you seen it?"

"The husband I'm looking for is like you said." Chen Qing Touching the ground in front of him, "You should be relieved, right?"

Chen Qing cried so much today that he started sobbing, and then he cried until he hiccupped. Zhou Yuan kept giving him some relief, and it took him a while to calm down. .

They had dinner at Aunt Du's house. Aunt Du cooked a lot of hometown dishes. She couldn't remember what Chen Qing liked to eat. She also remembered that when Chen Qing was young, he didn't seem to have the qualifications to say whether he liked it or not. It could fill his stomach. That's pretty good.

After they paid their respects, Meng Shuanzi rode back to town, while Chen Qing and Zhou Yuan stayed at Aunt Du's house for dinner.

Zhou Yuan and Chen Qing didn't move their chopsticks much during the meal. Instead, Zhou Yuan was talking to Du Feng. Zhou Yuan thought that since Du Feng was a salesman, he must have channels to get goods.

"I can take you there, but you want too much, and they may not have that much," Du Feng said.

"Thank you, Brother Du. It will be easier if you have acquaintances."

Du Feng nodded. He did not look at Chen Qing. He really let go. Aunt Du is already looking for a matchmaker. I believe she will be able to drink Du Feng's wedding wine soon. .

Chen Qing pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe we can't drink Brother Du's wedding wine. When things here are over, we will go home."

"By the way, aunt, there is one more thing. The man who killed A Qing's father back then ..."

Aunt Du patted her forehead: "I just said that I forgot something! That person died two years ago."

Chen Qing was stunned: "Dead?"

Zhou Yuan? She squeezed Chen Qing's hand, feeling a little unbelievable.
