Chapter 112 Rumors

Chen Ming smiled and said, "Although I don't know anything, I can learn it. Ah Fu is right, as long as I am willing to learn, there is nothing I can't learn. In the future, I will learn how to tend the fields. Although my family's The fields are leased to others, but I will never be afraid of being deceived if I learn. I also need to learn how to do business. This business can make money faster than farming. If I have more money in the future, I will invest more in the business..." Behind him, his eyes were shining and he looked very confident.

Even though he looked tame when he spoke boldly, his heroic spirit still infected Wang and Chen Afu, who both laughed and were full of confidence in the future.

Chen Afu flattered him and said, "Dad is a child after all, and he only thinks about the long term. With dad planning, in the future we will not only be big landowners, but also big rich people."

Several people laughed.

After the discussion, Chen Afu went back to his yard and cleaned the room. I went out and called the chickens that were looking for food outside back to the backyard, locked them up, grabbed a few handfuls of brown rice and fed them to the chickens and the birds in the cage.

I went back to the house, changed my clothes, and sat on the kang to rest. Listening to the chirping of the two larks outside the window, and then looking at the simple furnishings around me, I jumped over the window and saw the faint red forest mountains. The setting sun had slipped to the top of the mountains. I felt that it was better to call my own home.

Not long after, Dabao came in with his mouth raised.

Chen Afu looked at his serious look and asked, "Why, is it Mr. Hu or Chen Aju who made you angry?"

Dabao shook his head and said dullly, "No, I went directly to the fields to tell grandpa."

Chen Afu asked, "Then why are you unhappy?"

Dabao climbed up to Chen Afu's lap and sat down, buried his head in her arms, and said with raised lips, "Mom, Si Xizi told me that Chen Juren became the prefect. He is such a big official, even better than the county magistrate. Da. Gao Lizheng of our village, we all have to be under his control."

It finally came through.

Chen Afu said, "Not only does Chen Juren become the prefect, but also the chief assistant, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. We live our lives and don't care what he does."

Dabao's eyebrows were knitted together, and he twisted his little fat fingers and said, "Some people asked me whether grandma cried, whether she regretted it, whether grandpa was angry, whether he hit grandma... How did they say that grandma was not talented? Being kicked out? They're so annoying."

What does it mean to be kicked out of the Chen family if you are not worthy? Chen Dabao didn't learn very clearly, and Chen Afu didn't know what the inside story was.

She sighed and said, "We can't stop the crowd, and we can't explain it. For some things, the more you explain them, the more enthusiastic they will be. Ignore them for now, and hope that things will slowly change over time." Calm down."

Hearing Dabao say "hmm", Chen Afu said softly, "Remember, don't say these words in front of grandma and grandpa."

"Oh, my son is not that stupid," Dabao replied, and then asked, "An official as big as the prefect will not put grandma in jail, right? If so, I will ask Uncle Chu for help."

Chen Afu frowned and said, "Of course not. Grandma is not unworthy or did anything wrong. Don't listen to those people's nonsense."

However, the harmful effects of gossip among ancient rural people who had little entertainment were also terrifying.

Since Chen Shiying's incident has spread throughout the village, and it has been spread so badly, Chen Ming must have known about it. But he didn't show it, and he was still as gentle to Wang and himself as before. He also expressed his intention to cheer up and let his wife and children live a good life. Regardless of whether he could do it or not, Chen Afu was in awe of his ambition.

This man is really good, much better than that hypocrite Chen Juren.

However, it is much better for Chen Ming to talk to Wang about this matter. After all, Wang would definitely be sad and even more embarrassed if she had to open up the wounds from many years ago. Chen Ming has a gentle temperament and is very kind to Wang. He will persuade Wang.

However, Xiangluo Village is less than ten miles away from Zhaojia Village. If anyone in the village had seen Chen Shiying, his life experience might be suspected.

If you think about it, you will doubt it. Anyway, you and the Wang family just don't recognize each other. If the Chen family doesn't recognize Wang, they certainly won't recognize her either. In ancient times, country people were afraid of officials. Even if they had doubts about the reputation of the prefect, they would not dare to speak out unless they had a weak head.

After the mother and son talked for a while, they heard the old courtyard becoming lively. Mrs. Chen, Chen Ye, Hu, Chen Agui, and Chen Dahu were coming.

Chen Afu and his son came to the old yard and asked Dabao and Dahu to play with Zhui Feng in the yard. Chen Afu went to the kitchen to be busy with Mr. Wang.

As we had agreed before, today's bus ride was already very hard, and we didn't want to do anything complicated, so we took out the small pot of braised meat that Chen Shi gave us. Leave half of it for Dafang to take home, and cut the other half to drink, and then make a pot of braised noodles with leeks and eggs.

Chen Afu entered the kitchen and saw Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Hu talking to Mrs. Wang in the kitchen. The expressions on their faces were unnatural.

Hu's eyes couldn't hide the spark of curiosity. After looking at Old Mrs. Chen on the side, she opened her mouth a few times, but still didn't dare to say what was in her heart. Humph, it doesn't matter how gentle and capable a second-hand person is, he is still making irresponsible remarks and cuckolding Chen Ming.

Mrs. Chen's face was a little gloomy. She glanced at Mrs. Wang and then at Chen Afu. She was angry that Mrs. Wang had been criticized by the villagers recently, and her own son was also criticized. I am also a little worried about Chen Afu, she is the daughter of the prefect.

If this girl knew that she had such a rich father, would she run to Chen Juren's house to recognize her ancestors? It was not easy to raise her, and she is so capable. If she ran away, her son would lose a lot. She must explain it clearly to her son, and never let her know her life experience. She must also let her son give Wang a warning...

Wang saw that the two people seemed to think that there was something wrong between her and her daughter. As for why it was not right, she didn't know unless they told her. She was puzzled and had to lower her head suspiciously to do her work.

Chen Afu guessed that they must have done this because of Chen Juren's matter, and she was very unhappy. Chen Shiying went to Dingzhou to be the prefect, which was decided by the emperor. What did Wang Shi have to do with herself? Besides, Wang Shi didn't cheat on the marriage. She was a child bride for Chen Shiying. Not only did the Chen family know it clearly, but even the villagers knew it.

Do they have to be so facey?

Chen Afu couldn't say anything to the old lady, but he would not be polite to Hu Shi. Now, she is not afraid of Hu Laowu plotting against Dabao, so she will not be as wary of Hu as before.

She said to Mrs. Chen, "Grandma, my mother has told my third uncle that you and uncle miss him, and asked them to come back and stay for a while during the New Year. But my third uncle..." She deliberately looked at Hu, laughed dryly twice, and swallowed her words.

Thank you for your reward and monthly ticket, thank you.
