This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 284 Chen Suling Stays at Chen Shuning's House

"The wind is gentle, the moon is bright, and the leaves cover the window lattice..."

Silver light bathed the ground as Chen Hongjiang hummed a tune as he entered his home. Voices emanated from within the house, and upon hearing that everyone was present, Chen Hongjiang turned, bolted the door, and walked back inside with his hands behind his back.

"You two brothers were both raised by your sister."

Realizing that Wang Erxiu's tone was wrong, Chen Hongjiang stopped and was full of confusion. What happened?

"The last time your sister and I had a quarrel, it wasn't entirely her fault." Wang Erxiu's tone revealed disappointment and guilt, and she continued, "I say I'm not partial, but most of the housework is done by your sister.

"Second and third sons, tell me yourselves, how does your eldest sister treat you two? Don't worry about the little pocket money your sister earns!"

Chen Hongjiang lifted the beaded curtain and said, "Your mother is right. Second and third sons, real men should not think about the money in a woman's pocket.

Besides, your mother and I are not old yet, and we can earn enough to build a house. When the time comes, you two brothers can pay a little gift, and we will have no problem getting married."

Chen Xue saw the reactions of Chen Shan and Chen He, and it would be self-deception for her to say that she was not heartbroken.

"Mom, I'm going to bed first. I still have work to do tomorrow."

Chen Xue left with a sullen face, and Chen Shan's expression wasn't looking good either. He was the second child, so marriage was imminent. But since they didn't have a house, finding a partner was difficult.

If his sister could help him, he would have suffered less. He would have been able to hold his head high and choose a good marriage partner in the future.

Chen Shan's eyes darted around, and he didn't know what he was up to. Seeing him like this, Chen Hongjiang was furious and warned him, "Second brother, what are you thinking?"

Chen Shan looked up, his eyes met Chen Hongjiang's, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Put away your evil thoughts. She's your sister. She's devoted to you, and you can't let her down. Just look at your uncle and you'll see what happens when you're ungrateful."

Wang Erxiu wanted to scold his two sons and echoed: "Although the circumstances are different, the principles are the same. If your uncle wasn't greedy, would he have gotten involved with Wei Chunhong?"

Mentioning this, Chen Hongjiang bravely asked: "Erxiu, I don't have to do farm work these days. I want to go see my brother."

"It's not that I don't want you to go," Wang Erxiu said earnestly. "My eldest brother is in the city prison. How much would it cost for you to go there and back? We don't have the money."

Chen Hongjiang's eyes became dim.

Seeing this, Wang Erxiu sighed and said, "Boss, let's grow more food next year. Save some money, and after the wheat harvest next year, you can go visit Big Brother. I won't stop you then."

Chen He grabbed his trouser pocket and mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, Brother Tieniu recommended me to work at the bun shop in town. I can save some money, and I'll give you some when the time comes."

Chen Hongjiang smiled and felt much better.

"Dad doesn't want your money. Third brother, save the money you and second brother earn. Building a house and getting married will all cost money. If you have money, your mother and I will feel less pressure."

I'll find a way to take care of your uncle. At least he gets to eat in jail, so it's okay for me to visit him later."

"Quack--"

"I see—I see—"

The sounds of cicadas, frogs, and crickets could be heard from time to time. Guo Junyue and Chen Shuning sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

The sky was full of stars and fireflies were dancing in the air. Guo Junyue was waving a palm-leaf fan with a smile on her face.

"Shuning, the countryside is completely different from the city." Guo Junyue looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky in the city."

The sound of the elders talking came from the room. Sun Xiaoping walked down the stairs carefully, opened her arms and shouted, "Sister, hug me."

Chen Shuning stood up, held her in his arms, and sat next to Guo Junyue.

Guo Junyue raised her chin towards Sun Xiaoping and asked in a low voice, "Shuning, what's going on with them?"

"The elderly couple in the next yard are my grandfather's younger brother and his wife. Although we live next door, we rarely visit each other.

As far as I can remember, Aunt Suling took care of all the housework and even worked in the fields with them. My grandfather couldn't stand it and often quarreled with them.

Guo Junyue suddenly understood and said softly, "So, your Seventh Grandpa and Seventh Grandma think your family is meddling in other people's affairs and that's why they don't want to interact with your family?"

Chen Shuning gave a wry smile and replied, "Yes! Actually, they don't interact with anyone. They didn't show up when we stood up for Sister Shuyi, or when our house was smashed by the Revolutionary Committee."

Chen Shuning pointed to the low courtyard wall and said, "With such a low wall, they can hear every movement in my house clearly. The whole family huddled in the house, afraid to show their faces, for fear that we would implicate them."

Guo Junyue said disdainfully: "What kind of person is this!"

Sun Xiaoping picked at her fingers, saying nothing. Chen Shuning fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and asked, "Xiaoping, is your father good to you?"

Sun Xiaoping nodded and replied, "Dad listens to Grandpa. If Grandpa is unhappy, he beats me."

"Bah!" Guo Junyue scowled coldly and cursed loudly, "How could there be such a person? I'll go there tomorrow too. I'm going to skin Sun Tiegou and his son alive."

"Sister, you can go with us, but you can only watch the fun." Chen Shuning was worried and warned her earnestly, "It's easy for things to get into trouble when there are too many people. You're a dancer, so you can't get bumped into anything."

Guo Junyue thought for a moment and replied, "Then I'll just watch from afar. Shuning, how are you going to resolve this? Are you going to let them divorce?"

"My uncle-in-law is easily influenced and has no opinion of his own. When Sun Tiegou is not around, he listens to Aunt Suling. When Sun Tiegou is at home, he listens to his father.

Xiao Ping is so young, we can’t let her lose her father. It would be best if we can avoid divorce. However, we can’t let Aunt Su Ling endure it forever.

"so what should I do now?"

Chen Shuning listened attentively for a moment, then pointed inside the house and replied, "My grandfather said they should separate and live separately. I also think it's better to separate."

Chen Shuning raised his chin, his eyes fixed on the roof of Chen Chunshan's house next door, and whispered, "Chen Suling and Sun Qiangzi are getting a divorce, and Sun Tiegou must be forcing Sun Yingzi to divorce Chen Chunshan.

We can't do such a thing as leaving Mancang and Xiaoping without a real parent just to vent our anger. Besides, divorced women are in a bad situation."

"This matter is not easy to handle." Guo Junyue sighed. "I think your Seventh Grandma is not a pushover. Sun Tiegou is even more outrageous than her. Will she agree to split the family?"

Sun Xiaoping raised her head and said, "Sister, I don't want to go home." She looked so pitiful that Chen Shuning felt distressed.

"Don't worry, no one will dare to hit you in the future."

Chen Shuning shook his wrist, sending a cool breeze across Sun Xiaoping's face. Chen Shuning's words were like heavenly music to Sun Xiaoping's ears.

"We will solve your grandfather's problem. No one will dare to beat you in the future, and you and your mother will be able to eat."

Chen Shuning raised his hand to gather Sun Xiaoping's hair, then turned to Guo Junyue and said, "My fourth uncle is the village chief. Tomorrow he will go find the village chief of the next village and have a good talk about this matter.

If all else fails, I can still go find Director Han from the Women's Federation. We've dealt with each other before. Or I can go find Comrade Sun Yuanchao from the Public Security Bureau. In Dahe Town, no one can bully our Chen family."

I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, don't blame me for being rude.

"Then why did you bring so many people?" Guo Junyue had never seen such a scene before and didn't understand the Chen family's actions: "Aren't you going there to fight?"
