On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

"Dad, Dad!" Chen Yunshan had just entered the house and called out excitedly while walking towards the inner room.

Patriarch Chen, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard a noise outside the yard and saw his eldest son, who had a silly look on his face, running in with interest.

Patriarch Chen frowned and couldn't help but scold: "You are so old, why are you still so noisy!" After that, he coughed again.

Cao hurriedly patted her husband's back to calm him down, and then glared at her eldest son.

Seeing that his father was coughing badly, Chen Yunshan gave up the idea of ​​gossiping.

He quickly stepped forward to help his father calm down, "Dad, your cough is getting worse, I think we should go to the clinic tomorrow!"

Patriarch Chen suppressed the sweet taste in his throat and said after a long pause: "Why waste that money? It's an old problem. I cough when the cold wind blows. It will be fine after this spring!"

Chen Yunshan looked solemn, obviously disagreeing with his father's opinion.

But his father's temper was too stubborn, leaving little room for change.

Chen Yunshan could only look to his mother for help, hoping that she could persuade his father to go to the clinic.

After all, he had watched his son grow up, and he was so simple-minded that as soon as his son stuck out his butt, he knew what he was going to fart.

He interrupted his eldest son and winked at his mother, "Come on, what's the happy news that has you rushing here in such a hurry?"

Only then did Chen Yunshan excitedly recount the dispute that had taken place at the entrance of the village.

"What a pity, Chen Yi wasn't there just now, otherwise, as a face-conscious person like him, he would be so angry to death if he saw his granddaughter trying to beat his son!"

Patriarch Chen glanced at his son and said, "Stop gloating over their misfortune. Next time you encounter something happening to their family, don't get involved." After saying that, he coughed loudly again.

He slowly leaned against the bed, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and waved at the two of them, "You all go out, let me rest for a while!"

Although the mother and son were worried, they were afraid that he would get angry again, so they all withdrew.

"Mom, since Dad refuses to go to the pharmacy, I'll go get a doctor tomorrow. It's no use keeping Dad coughing like this!"

Cao was also worried. This stubborn old man was very stubborn. She was afraid that if a doctor was called, he would get stubborn and drive the doctor away. What if?

She knew that her husband was worried about money, and she only had five taels of silver in her hand.

There are signs of another severe drought this year. If this trend continues, Cao is worried that there will be little grain left after paying taxes, so she looks at the whole family in the yard.

Thinking of her husband who had been coughing all night and couldn't sleep, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you a tael of silver later. Go to the county town tomorrow and ask a doctor to come back and see your father!"

Chen Yunshan nodded repeatedly.

Patriarch Chen, who was leaning against the head of the bed to calm down, naturally had no idea what the mother and son were planning.

After the heart-wrenching coughing fit, he took away the handkerchief that was covering his mouth and coughed up blood.

He put the handkerchief away and stuffed it back into his arms, feeling disappointed.

He was very sad at this moment.

He was not worried about his own health. He was already at this age, and his sons had all started their own families and careers, so he didn't have to worry about them anymore. Even if his health deteriorated, he could just close his eyes and kick his legs.

But he had another identity, the patriarch of Chenjia Village. After he arrived there, he was troubled about who to choose as the patriarch.

Those who are barely accepted either lack the qualifications or the ability.

Although Chen Yi has both the qualifications and strength, he is unwilling to let the other party become the patriarch of Chenjia Village.

This is not his selfishness or personal grudge.

In fact, he discovered that Chen Yi had flaws in his character.

Chen Yi talks about being righteous and moral, but in secret he uses all means to deal with his neighbors who are from the same hometown in order to grab land.

When Chen Yi returned to his hometown, although the Chen family had land, it was not as large as it is now.

I remember that when he returned home, he was very friendly to me and asked me to help him buy back his land.

He naturally agreed, and when he met someone selling land, he would connect him with him.

In just over a decade, the land he owned grew to nearly 100 acres, and he became a small landlord comparable to Mr. Zhao in Xixi Village.

If such a thing had not happened, he would have been deceived by the appearance he had created and continued to work for him!

That time, he told me that he wanted to buy the five acres of land from Zhuzi's family in the same village.

It was because the five acres of land just happened to divide his family's land. If he could buy that piece of land, his family's land could be connected into one piece.

Watering, fertilizing and weeding will be more convenient in the future!

Although he had some concerns, he still went on the trip to help Chen Yi. However, the result was predictable: the other party was not willing to sell their land.

These days, land must not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary.

After receiving the news, Chen Yi also expressed his understanding.

But just one month later, Zhuzi owed money to loan sharks due to gambling and had his leg broken by the debt collector. In order to raise money, he had to sell all the family's land to Chen Yi.

Afterwards, Zhuzi's mother became ill and passed away soon after.

Zhuzi's wife was also forced to divorce and was taken away by her family!

Under the successive blows, Zhuzi also fell ill.

He went to visit him and saw that the once energetic and honest child had become so thin that only a bag of bones was left. His sunken eye sockets and pale face made him realize that Zhuzi had no hope of survival.

How could it come to this?

He will never forget Zhuzi grabbing his hand and crying as he was dying.

He confessed that he was bewitched by a ghost. He was just carrying grain to sell, and after getting the money, he was somehow deceived and went to the gambling house.

He really couldn't believe that such an honest child would get addicted to gambling, and he couldn't believe that he would borrow money to gamble in a casino!

After this incident, he had some doubts in his heart whether this was a trap set by Chen Yi, because how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

The land that he originally couldn't buy finally came to his wish because of the misfortune of Zhuzi's family!

Unfortunately, Chen Yi was a cautious person who did things very carefully, so he couldn't find any evidence to confirm his guess.

At that time, he was young and energetic, so he went to question him, which made him even more defensive, and the result of the investigation ended in failure.

The relationship between the two took a sharp turn for the worse.

Perhaps out of fear, Chen Yi began to build his reputation in the village.

As Chen Yi's influence in Xixi Village expanded in recent years, many villagers often benefited from his favor, and most of the villagers worked as odd jobs in his home during the slack season.

The Chen clan members became more and more dependent on the Chen family, and therefore supported Chen Yi even more. They thought that after he left, the position of clan leader would naturally fall into his hands.

The head of a clan plays such an important role. First of all, he must be kind, generous, fair and selfless.

His strong sense of responsibility made him worried whenever he thought about a person like him who was motivated by personal gain and had flawed morals having the power to manage the affairs of the clan.

Now Chen Yi's family is the only one in power in the clan. Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he often regrets that if he had not helped him wholeheartedly, would Zhuzi's family still be alive and well now?

His emotions were fluctuating as he thought, and he couldn't help but cough violently again. After a long while, he slowly closed his eyes.

Never mind, there is no point in thinking too much. He has to try to survive for a few more years before the up-and-coming talents come to the fore!
