Chapter 3857 Angry
While at the Le family's house, the Chen family members managed to control their emotions to save face, but once they were out of Zhou Qiufeng's sight, their faces darkened.

Fortunately, they weren't completely stupid and didn't say anything, following Master Lu in silence.

Once they were far from the Le family's house and saw no one, the Chen family could no longer hold back and complained that Le Yun had become cold-hearted and ruthless because she had become successful, rich, and powerful.

Regarding the family genealogy, it was indeed inappropriate for the Chen family not to include Leyuan's name in the family genealogy, but that decision was made by the previous two generations, not by them.

They are now willing to correct the mistakes of their predecessors and have all bowed their heads, but Yue Yun shows no mercy and refuses to acknowledge the Chen family as her maternal grandparents.

"Now that Yue Yun has money, she looks down on people!"

"Liu Tong used to say that Yue Yun was heartless and ruthless, and she really is heartless and ruthless..."

"Shut up!" Grandpa Lu originally didn't want to pay attention to the Chen family's murmurs, but as they talked more and more outrageously, he became so angry that his face changed. He turned around abruptly and glared angrily at the younger generation of the Chen family.

The group of people who were complaining were startled when they saw that Grandpa Lu's face was red and he was clearly angry. They were embarrassed and panicked.

"Grandpa Lu, we were just really holding it in, so we had to say a few words..."

Seeing that things were going badly, Chen Jian immediately admitted his mistake.

Seeing that Chen Jian was a coward who always cowered in trouble but acted like a hero when there was nothing to do, Grandpa Lu got even angrier. He threw down his basket, took two steps to Chen Jian's side, and slapped him across the face.

In full view of everyone, Chen Jian received a hard slap in the face.

A burning pain shot through Chen Jian, who instinctively raised his hand to touch his slapped face, still unable to process what had happened.

Seeing that Grandpa Lu's breathing had become heavy, Chen Shu quickly stepped forward to support him and soothe the old man's emotions: "Grandpa Lu, please calm down! It was our foul mouths that made you hit us. Please don't get so angry that you'll ruin your health!"

The other branches of our Chen family all have two or three senior members, but you are the oldest among the Chen family of Meicun. If you get angry, the senior members of the other branches will take the opportunity to lecture us, and we Chen family members of Meicun will never be able to hold our heads high in front of them again.”

“Grandpa Lu, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have gossiped.”

The Chen family members panicked and honestly admitted their mistake.

Having been slapped, Chen Jian disregarded the embarrassment of being humiliated in front of his own clansmen and hurriedly apologized to Grandpa Lu.

Because the family hadn't included Le Yuan's name in the family genealogy in Meicun before, after Le Yun became successful, the Chen clan members had no reason to ask Le Yun to help them out.

For this, the various branches of the Chen clan have ridiculed them quite a bit, and the few remaining elders of the Chen clan among the older generation have even pointed their fingers at them and cursed them mercilessly.

One reason why the Chen clan revises its genealogy is that the Chen clan has not jointly compiled a genealogy for over sixty years, and too many people are not included in the genealogy, so it is time to revise it again.

The second reason was to make up for the mistake by adding Chen Dazhuang's son-in-law and Chen Kang's branch of the family.

Chen Hongying is a daughter of the Chen family. Yueqing was born to Chen Hongying. Yueqing's children have the blood of the Chen family. The descendants of the Chen family's married-out daughters are also descendants of the Chen family.

The Chen Kang branch is full of outstanding individuals, making it the most successful branch of the Chen family among their clans. The son-in-law, Yue Yun, alone is enough to bring glory to the Chen family.

If we can re-establish kinship with the Le family, even if Le Yun doesn't treat the village chief and Liu Lu as well as she does, a little encouragement from the Chen family's youth could save the Chen descendants a few years of hard work.

Even if Yue Yun doesn't directly promote people with the surname Chen, as long as her name is on the Chen family genealogy, the Chen family will have won in terms of morale.

If anyone tries to talk nonsense, the Chen family can shut them up by simply saying, "Le Yun is a descendant of the Chen family women, and she has the blood of the Chen family flowing in her veins."

When members of the Chen clan jointly compile a genealogy book, the first priority is to persuade the Yue family to acknowledge their maternal grandfather.

Before they came, they thought they could persuade Yue Yun to agree by appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, and that she would accept the Chen family as her maternal grandparents' family out of consideration for her grandmother, Chen Hongying.

Unfortunately, when they actually faced Yueyun, they couldn't utter a single one of the arguments or reasoning they had prepared, and were completely overwhelmed by her three consecutive questions.

Their mission failed.

If the Chen family of Meicun cannot rebuild their relationship with the Le family, other branches of the Chen family will inevitably come to the Le family as intermediaries.

If it were other branches of the Chen clan who persuaded the Tongle family to acknowledge the Chen family as their maternal ancestor, then the Meicun branch of the Chen clan would forever be inferior to other branches of the Chen clan.

This is definitely not the outcome they wanted to see.

The Chen family in Meicun now only has Grandpa Lu as an elder of the first generation. The Le family also respects Grandpa Lu, so only Grandpa Lu might be able to persuade Le Yun to change her mind.

In the Chen family of Meicun, only Grandpa Lu could sit and stand with the older members of the same clan. When Grandpa Lu got so angry that he fell ill, the other branches used this as an excuse to teach them a lesson. They could only swallow their pride and suffer the consequences.

The Chen family members also regretted acting impulsively and only caring about complaining, not realizing they had angered Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu was furious at the fact that Chen Shu was all talk and no action when things were going well, but completely useless when trouble came. He shoved Chen Shu's hand away and started cursing at the Chen family.

“You bunch of bastards, you can talk a good game in front of others, spouting one theory after another, but when you get to the Le family, it’s like your mouths are sewn shut, you can’t utter a single fart!”

You can't utter a single word in a proper setting, but when it's your turn to speak, you talk more than you can talk. You might as well not have mouths at all, all you need are your butts!

Why don't you look in the mirror and reflect on what you did in the past? How dare you say Lele is heartless?

If I were you, I'd be embarrassed to go out without covering myself with three towels.

"Forget it. You never listened to my advice before, and now that I'm old, I can't control that anymore. You can listen to whoever you liked before, and you can listen to that person from now on. If you have any problems, go talk to them."

After cursing a few times, Grandpa Lu became even more upset and didn't even want to curse anymore. He sighed in disappointment, turned around, picked up his basket, and left.

The five members of the Chen family were blushing with embarrassment after being scolded. When they heard Master Lu say that they should go find whoever they used to listen to, they felt both ashamed and anxious.

Whom did the Chen family listen to in the past?

Needless to say, Chen Wu was among them.

Previously, Chen Wu was the wealthiest member of the Chen family in Meicun. He was the most educated and knowledgeable among his peers, and his words carried weight among the Chen family clan.

Two other members of the Chen family from the "Da" generation are at odds with Chen Dazhuang. They, along with Chen Wu, are the main obstacles preventing Le Yuan and Chen Hongying's descendants from being included in the Chen family genealogy.

More than 20 years ago, when the Chen family in Meicun was revising their genealogy, two other members of the Chen family from the older generation were still alive. Because of their interference with Chen Wu, not only was Yue Yun's name from Yueqing added to the genealogy, but even Yue Yuan's name was not included.

Because of the mistake made back then, the Chen family now has no confidence when facing the Le family.

In the past, Chen Wu and the other two branches of the Chen family led the Chen family into a ditch. If we still listen to them now, it's like knowingly jumping into a fire pit.

Chen Shu quickly caught up with Grandpa Lu, apologizing profusely: "Grandpa Lu, it's all our fault, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart. We'll reflect on our actions..."

He kept trying to please Old Master Lu, but Old Master Lu kept his head down and walked silently. When they reached the densely populated area of ​​buildings, Chen Shu shut up. Old Master Lu got angry and ignored them completely. Chen Shu and Chen Jian were at a loss, so they escorted Old Master Lu to the door and then dispersed.

Chen Yin was at home when he saw his father return so quickly and looking unwell, and his heart sank.

Looking at the basket the old man was carrying, which seemed untouched, they guessed that the gift had been returned by the Yue family.

The fact that the Le family even returned the gifts from the elderly man indicates that the people from the Chen family had mentioned revising the family genealogy to the Le family, but Le Yun refused them all, including the gifts.

Having guessed the reason, Chen Yin didn't want to ask directly. He went up, took the basket, put it aside, brought a chair for his father to sit down, and then went to pour him a glass of water.

After his father drank a glass of water and his expression softened, Chen Yin asked, "Dad, did Le Yun refuse to acknowledge her family?"

"Hmm." Grandpa Lu felt heartbroken when he thought of that incident: "Those few scoundrels from the Chen family used to stir up trouble in the clan, inciting their relatives to do all sorts of immoral things. I don't know what kind of bewitching potion the Chen family members drank, they all lost their brains and just listened to those bastards. Now that they see that others have become successful, they are eager to claim kinship with them. Who cares about them anymore!"

"What did Yueyun say that made you come back so quickly, Dad?" To be honest, Chen Yin couldn't help but be curious. The Chen family only took half an hour to get back and forth, which was incredibly fast.

"Chen Shu mentioned the matter of revising the family genealogy. Lele also remembered that the Chen family had revised the genealogy more than 20 years ago, so she asked a few questions, asking if her name was on it, if her father's name was on it, and if her grandfather's name was on the Chen family genealogy."

These three questions rendered the Chen family members speechless, unable to even stand up straight.

Lele said that the names of the Le family members were not included in the Chen family genealogy before, and they will not be included in it in the future.

She said that from now on, the Le family and the Chen family would treat each other as ordinary villagers, just like they had for the past few decades, and she refused to accept anything brought by the Chen family, making Zhou Qiufeng return it all.

"..."

Chen Yin was speechless. The absence of the names of three generations of the Le family in the Chen family genealogy was irrefutable proof that the Chen family did not acknowledge the Le family's son-in-law, and it was also the fundamental reason why the Chen family lacked confidence.

If Yueyun didn't care about that, everything would be fine, but since Yueyun does care, the Chen family has no grounds to stand on, whether it's based on blood ties or feelings.

This problem has no solution.

Le Yun refused to accept the gifts sent by her father, which showed that her father had also been implicated by the Chen family. Chen Yin did not ask any further questions, as asking any further questions would only make her father worse.

Grandpa Lu sat for a while to recover, then went out with a gloomy face to wander around the fields.

He was afraid he would suffocate if he didn't go out for a walk.

Going out for a walk can also help you calm down.

Grandpa Lu and the Chen family left the Le family in a huff, while Little Le, who had spoken with the Chen family once, was very calm.

However, as soon as she returned to the backyard, the bowl in her hand was snatched away by the tomboy. Seeing Wu Shao happily pounding the bowl, she was speechless.

Even her own job was taken away, so Yue Yun simply sat and acted like a pretty girl.

The handsome young man gently pressed a soft, adorable little girl down, letting her rest her head on his lap, and then he gently massaged her scalp.

"Little Lele, we don't need to get angry over those people. If we can't stand someone, we'll go put a sack on him tonight."

“I’m not angry, I just despise their practice of belittling the weak and praising the strong, and I’m ashamed of their selfish nature of not doing anything for personal gain.”

Le Yun separated a wisp of her divine consciousness and enjoyed the love of her beautiful brother.

"That's human nature. There are selfish people everywhere. There are many people in the world who can share wealth but not hardship. You'll get used to it, Lele." The handsome young man gently ran his fingers through the little dumpling's hair and coaxed her softly.

People are afraid of famous pigs.

The little dumpling has grown big and fat, and everyone wants to find a chance to pounce on it and take a bite.

The Chen family of Meicun used to look down on the Le family, but now that the Le family has risen to prominence, the Chen family wants to take advantage of their success. Since they don't have the opportunity, they'll look for one. They want to use the excuse of revising the family genealogy to renew the friendship between the two families.

That's a good idea.

It's pretty rotten too.

If the Chen family genealogy book contains the name of any generation of the Le family, revising the genealogy would be a good idea. Lele would have insufficient reason to refuse to acknowledge his maternal grandparents, the Chen family, and would be criticized.

However, there is no name of the Le family in the Chen family genealogy. The Chen family wants to use the pretext of revising the genealogy to reclaim Lele and his sons, depending on whether Lele agrees or not.

Given the precedent set by the Hu family and Lele's birth mother, the Chen family, knowing that no one in the Lele family was on the family tree, still dared to use blood ties to claim kinship with Lele, which is commendable.

The handsome older brother's voice was gentle and soothing, and the slight gloom in Le Yun's heart dissipated. She quietly became the obedient little sister whom her brother doted on.

Her consciousness wandered outside, and she also "saw" the Chen family's complaints and the process of Grandpa Lu reprimanding Chen Jian.

She wasn't surprised by the Chen family's reaction. After all, the fact that the older members of the Chen family could be fooled by Chen Wu and a few others into obeying their every word showed that they weren't very smart.

I just feel a little sorry for Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu was kind-hearted and had sound values. He always tried his best to guide the Chen family descendants to learn in a positive direction and maintain a good family tradition. He hoped that each generation of the Chen family would be stronger than the last.

Unfortunately, most members of the Chen family are short-sighted and only care about immediate gains.

Although the Chen family is somewhat profit-driven, they are not inherently bad-hearted. Therefore, even if Yueyun does not acknowledge the Chen family as her maternal grandparents' family, she will neither support nor suppress them, let alone take advantage of their misfortune.

Le Yun followed Grandpa Lu around with her divine sense and saw that he was in a good mood and hadn't gotten into any trouble because of the trip to the Le family. Reassured, she withdrew her divine sense.

She enjoyed a loving massage for more than half an hour, resting her head on her handsome brother's lap. The meat in the braising pot was ready, and Wu had to busy herself with other tasks, reluctantly putting down the mortar and pestle.

Little Le got up and started pounding the plants himself.

The braised pork was ready, and the bamboo tube chicken and braised pork belly were ready to be steamed. The handsome young man went to help.

The old and young alike took all the braised meat out and also separated some of the braising liquid, using two small pots to braise the pork intestines and chicken feet, as well as chicken and duck eggs.

Take out all the ingredients that are ready to be served, and replace them with Liu Shaoyan's ingredients in the braising pot and steamer.

Ren Shaowu divided the medicinal meal in half, following the old custom, with one half left for the Le family.

Ren Shao and Wu Shao each gave a portion of each item from their own portions to Lan San and Hei Jiu, and then split the rest equally with Chao Shao.

After dividing the medicinal food into portions, pack it up.

While Jun Shao and the handsome guys were packing up medicinal food, Liu Lu, Zhang Poluo, and others also brought their ingredients to Le's house and pickled the ones that needed to be marinated.
