Chapter 4027

When Chen Dalu from Meicun was about to leave, Chen Kang did not try to persuade him to stay. The other representatives of the Chen family also had no reason to stay at the Le family's house, so they took the opportunity to resign.

Chen Kang did not keep the guests and treated everyone equally, allowing each branch of the Chen family to take their belongings back with them.

The Chen family member silently took the gift. Although it was embarrassing for them to take the gift back themselves, it was better than having the Le couple return it in person.

If Zhou Qiufeng from Yueqing doesn't want to run away herself, asking her close friends to return the gifts would be even more embarrassing.

At this moment, the Chen family members also regretted their actions.

They shouldn't have tried to take shortcuts. They should have gone to Chen Kang's house in Yue City to get acquainted with the family. If they had visited Chen Kang's house, Chen Kang would naturally have reciprocated by visiting their various branches of the family in return.

After visiting each other and formally recognizing each other as relatives, it would be natural for them to contact Chen Kang again to reconnect with him when he returned to Mei Village and stayed at the Le family's house.

They wanted to visit Chen Kang through marriage, but they didn't actually set foot in Chen Kang's house. They only came to the Le family to find Chen Kang when he returned to Mei Village. Their intentions were too obvious.

The Le family girl felt that the Chen family was only interested in profit, so she naturally disliked them.

It's too late for regrets now.

The Chen family from Meicun followed Grandpa Lu without saying a word. Representatives from the other branches of the Chen family also remained silent. They parted ways at the fork in the road in front of the vegetable garden in front of the Le family's house.

The Chen family members from Meicun went directly back to the Chen family home, while the other branches of the Chen family walked along the main road of the village, away from the Le family home. The leaders of each branch responsible for compiling the genealogy gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

It's impossible for the Chen family to acknowledge the Le family as relatives now, and Chen Kang's insistence on separating the clans is probably beyond redemption. Nevertheless, the matter of compiling the genealogy cannot be abandoned halfway.

If the Chen family's nearly year-long effort to reunite the family genealogy is halted because the Le family does not recognize the Chen family, the Chen family will become a laughing stock.

The leaders of the various groups discussed the matter and decided to take advantage of the fact that everyone had come to Meicun to visit the Chen family in Meicun and come up with a specific set of rules.

The team leader made a decision, then went back to discuss it with representatives of his clan, and continued onward. When they reached the ground in front of the village office building in Meicun, they changed direction and headed to the Chen family in Meicun.

They still went to Chen Dalu's house.

Chen Dalu is the only member of the "Da" generation in Meicun, so it is only natural for representatives from all branches of the Chen family to go to Chen Dalu's house to discuss matters.

After leaving the Le family's house, Chen Dalu remained silent, walking with his head down all the way back home.

Chen Shu, Chen Jian, and others escorted Grandpa Lu home, fearing he might get sick from anger. They, along with Chen Yin who was waiting for news at home, comforted and reassured Grandpa Lu.

Before they could appease Grandpa Lu, representatives from several Chen families arrived.

Chen Yin received his clansmen, and Chen Shu and Chen Jian also stayed behind.

When the younger generation of the Chen family discussed the rules for compiling a genealogy, Chen Dalu did not offer a single suggestion or opinion, no matter what others asked for.

After seeing off his fellow clansmen, Chen Kang wanted to talk to Lele, but he held back and chatted with Cheng Wu, Yi Lao, and Yan Lao in the main room about everyday matters.

Soon, Zhou Qiufeng and Zhou Wei returned from the market.

When Zhou Qiufeng got home, she glanced around and asked, "I heard the Chen family came again. Could it be that they went upstairs or to the south building to meet Lele?"

Cheng Wu laughed: "All branches of the Chen family have come. Xiao Lele gave Chen Dalu a chance and came downstairs to meet the Chen family representative."

Lele, being a tough kid, exposed the Chen family's secrets in front of them, leaving them speechless and humiliated. The Chen family couldn't lift their heads and left in a sorry state.

Lele had the gifts taken back exactly as they were, which was very efficient. Qiufeng, I'm not trying to criticize you and Yueqing, but you two are far inferior to your daughter. The Chen family comes time and time again, and you even invite them to stay for meals. You're too kind-hearted.

Lele was sitting on that chair right in front of the incense altar. The moment she sat there, even the older members of the Chen family, who used to act all high and mighty and boss you two around, didn't dare look Lele in the eye. They were as docile as little chicks the whole time.

Zhou Qiufeng: "..." She and her husband were just peasants, how could they compare to Lele!
Zhou Wei glanced at her husband and continued, "The Chen family came to the Le family under the pretense of visiting Chen Kang. Qiu Feng and Yue Qing were only keeping their tempers down to give face to their uncle Chen Kang."

Chen Kang remained silent, his head bowed.

Zhou Qiufeng didn't want to embarrass Le Shan's great-uncle too much, so she smiled and said, "The Le family and the Chen family are no longer related, but they are still from the same village. When they come to visit, we, as the hosts, should entertain them."

"Today, Lele made it so clear that the Chen family should not treat the Le family as Chen Kang's family. I suppose the Chen family will no longer try to curry favor with your family under the guise of associating with Chen Kang."

Cheng Wu wouldn't give Chen Kang any face; between Chen Kang and Lele, he would definitely favor Lele.

Zhou Qiufeng felt relieved. She hoped that Lele could solve the problem once and for all this time, preventing the Chen family from visiting, so that she and her husband wouldn't have to deal with them.

However, she wouldn't say those words. She took out some wild Schisandra chinensis fruit that she had bought at the market from the basket, washed some and put them on the table, then washed another plate and took it upstairs to Lele and Cao Bingyue to eat.

Cao Bingyue doesn't really like Schisandra chinensis, but Le Xiaotong loves the wild fruits from her hometown and happily finished a plate of them.

Zhou Qiufeng washed the wild fruits, then washed the half basket of jelly fruit she had bought, drained it, and then washed the handful of scallions she had brought back.

She's always busy, doing this and that, never idle.

After finishing some odd jobs, I started preparing lunch around noon.

After 11 o'clock, Yueqing and Village Chief Zhou returned from herding cattle, and Yueqing's father also helped to prepare lunch.

It wasn't until after 11:30 that the four handsome men who had gone out fishing early in the morning returned to the Le family home, covered in dust. They had a good catch, bringing back more than half a bucket of shrimp and small fish, as well as several pounds of loach.

At noon, Cheng Wu and Cao Bingyue also had lunch at Le's house.

After finishing their meal, the handsome guys carried their tools and went to find Zhou the Skinflint to continue fishing for fish and shrimp.

After finishing his meal, Cheng Wu went home to rest for lunch, and Cao Bingyue also went home to rest.

The handsome guys were only in charge of catching the shrimp, not cleaning them up, so Zhou Qiufeng and Zhou Wei had to take over the job of selecting and cleaning them.

Old Yi Yan went to the second floor for tea in the afternoon.

While Xiao Lele went to the South Building, Chen Kang followed. When he arrived at the Le family's South Building, he hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "Lele, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Le Yun asked frankly, "Grandpa, are you referring to your desire to help the Chen family clan, or to the past when the Chen family bullied me?"

"All."

“My great-uncle is unaware of the past events and they have nothing to do with him. It’s only natural for my uncle to value blood ties and want to help the Chen family. I understand that. However, it is my great-uncle’s business to help his relatives. I will not give the Chen family any extra benefits.”

The young boy spoke frankly, and Chen Kang's face flushed: "...I originally thought that Chen Fengnian and his three brothers were a bit weak, and I was thinking of seeing which branch of the Chen family was more promising, and helping them out if I could, so that their clan brothers could help each other in the future. But I...was hoping for too much."

"It's nothing. My great-uncle has his own perspective and hasn't done anything wrong." Le Yun didn't care about her great-uncle's selfishness and didn't try to dampen his spirits.

If the great-uncle had supported the clansmen from Xiaojiuhu, he might have received some reward. But if he had supported other branches, he would only have raised ungrateful wretches in the end.
