Then, without waiting for Chen Ping’s reply, Aunt Chen continued to ask, “Is he a relative of yours? But it’s strange, how come I’ve never heard of him before?”
Chen Ping looked at Aunt Chen’s enthusiastic gossiping manner. He really couldn’t handle it. Moreover, he didn’t know how to introduce Elder Liu. Was he talking about the old man he met by chance, or was he talking about Meng’er’s god-grandfather?
Therefore, Chen Ping laughed and said to Aunt Chen, “Aunt Chen, I’m in a hurry to go to my big brother’s house. I can’t talk to you anymore.” As he said that, Chen Ping pulled his daughter, Chen Meng’er, and sped up, fortunately, although Chen Ping was anxious to escape from this gossipy Aunt Chen, he still didn’t forget to accommodate his daughter, Chen Meng’er’s footsteps.
“Hey, Little Ping, you haven’t answered me yet. Why did you leave?” Aunt Chen’s voice entered Chen Ping’s ears, but Chen Ping didn’t stop.
“Heh, Meng’er, your mother has foresight. If I really give money to your uncle today, then perhaps this afternoon, our family’s matters will be discussed throughout the village.” Chen Ping tilted his face, he said to his daughter, Chen Meng’er.
“Yes, mom is still the best.” Chen Meng’er nodded in agreement, but… she secretly said in her heart, “Our family will stay at home today and do nothing. What happened yesterday has already become the focus of discussion after dinner.”
Just as Chen Ping and Chen Meng’er walked into Chen Tao’s house, Chen Tao’s wife, Chen Ping’s sister-in-law, saw Chen Ping and greeted him warmly, “Oh, Little Ping, Meng’er, why are you here?”
“We’re here to return the money.” Chen Ping smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.
“Is that so?” Chen Ping’s sister-in-law’s eyes lit up slightly when she heard Chen Ping say that he was here to return the money. She felt that the things that were said in the village seemed to be true. Chen Ping’s family must have found some rich relative. “Little Ping, Meng’er, come in quickly. Don’t stand at the door. Everyone is in the house. Come in with me.”
“Eh? Okay.” Chen Ping was quite respectful to his sister-in-law. Although she was a little greedy and valued money more, her heart was still good. It could also be said that she would listen to his big brother Chen Tao for everything.
“Little Ping, I heard from the villagers that you and Meng’er came back yesterday. Was it an old man who sent you back in a small car?” Chen Ping’s sister-in-law could not help but ask. “Yes, there was such a thing.” Chen Ping did not expect his sister-in-law to actually be involved in this matter. If it had to be said, in front of others, Chen Ping could laugh, but in front of his sister-in-law, he could not do so.
“That old man who sent you back in a small car, is he a relative of your family? is he a relative of Little Juan’s family?” Chen Ping’s sister-in-law continued to ask. “This is not a relative of Little Juan’s family.” Chen Ping braced himself and answered. Chen Meng’er, who was beside Chen Ping and holding Chen Ping’s large hand, looked at the light of gossip in her aunt’s eyes. When she heard her father, Chen Ping, say that he was not a relative of her mother’s Liu Juan family… the light of gossip instantly turned into a light of excitement.
She immediately nodded helplessly. She knew what her aunt was thinking about. However, she was destined to be disappointed.
“So, this is a relative of your old Chen Family? But I’ve been married for so long and I’ve never heard of it?” Chen Ping’s sister-in-law said excitedly.
“This.” Chen Ping didn’t expect his sister-in-law to think the same as the people in the village.
“I say, why are you so talkative? If you have the time to ask so many questions, you might as well go to work.” Just when Chen Ping didn’t know how to answer, his eldest brother, Chen Tao, appeared like a savior; he appeared in front of the father and daughter.
“Uncle.” Chen Meng’er saw Chen Tao and called out sweetly. Aside from her parents, there were also her two brothers. Her eldest uncle, Chen Tao, was the only one who doted on her. Therefore, Chen Meng’er’s relationship with her eldest uncle was also very good.
“Meng’er is here too. Come to uncle quickly. Uncle will find you something delicious.” When Chen Tao saw his niece, his originally gloomy face suddenly brightened up. This made his wife feel very uncomfortable watching from the side.
She mumbled, “Chen Tao, that’s all you have. You only dare to give me a look. Also, what’s wrong with me asking? Don’t tell me I can’t ask?”
Chen Tao’s wife spoke in a low voice, and she deliberately did not speak clearly. Therefore, everyone present did not hear what she said clearly.
However, Chen Tao’s face darkened, and he angrily said, “What are you mumbling about? Go and find some food for Meng’er..”
