Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 312 Finally Quiet
Chen's slap stunned Qu Laokouer.

Chen was gentle and good-tempered. Ever since she married Qu Laokouer, she listened to her husband in everything.

Although their life was hard, the couple rarely even quarreled.

Over the years, Chen has worked hard and always respected her husband.

No one expected that she could actually take action and slap Qu Laokouer loudly.

"You old fool, I'm warning you, if you want to live a good life, just shut up and be quiet.

My son has worked very hard to earn his current position and family fortune. If anyone dares to mess with me, I will fight him to the death.

At worst, I'll exchange my life for yours, but I won't let you ruin the good life of my son's family."

Chen stood in front of her two sons with her arms open, protecting them like a hen protecting her chicks.

At this moment, that thin body seemed to be full of strength.

Chen's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only was Qu Laokouer stunned, but everyone in the yard was stunned.

Even the brothers Qu Shaoyang and Qu Jiang were unable to react for a moment.

"Xingjia, don't just stand there, quickly take people to clean up." Qu Shaoyang was the first to come to his senses and shouted to Xingjia.

Upon hearing this, Xing Jia immediately led people to clean up the small courtyard at the east end.

At this time, Qu Laokouer also came to his senses. Looking at his old wife who was glaring at him, Qu Laokouer's mind was filled with what Chen had just said.

Qu Laokouer lost his temper all of a sudden. He no longer had the unbridled and unreasonable spirit he had just had. He completely collapsed.

He squatted on the ground, holding his head with his hands, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Mom, don't be angry, it's not worth it.

In this way, you and my father will live in the small courtyard at the east end first. If you feel that the place is too small, I will find another place and build a bigger courtyard for you later."

Qu Shaoyang sighed and reached out to support Chen, who was shaking with anger.

"Alas, I shouldn't have agreed with your father and come all the way here to cause you trouble.

I didn't expect that your father would change so much once he got here.

This damn old man, he just had enough of his good life and has to make trouble.

Fourth brother, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him from now on and won't let him make trouble again.

You don't have to build a house, just a place to live that's close to you, and I can help take care of my daughter-in-law and grandson."

Chen took a while to calm down before speaking.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want, as long as you feel comfortable living here."

Qu Shaoyang helped Chen sit down and squatted beside her to chat with his mother.

Xingjia was efficient and quickly led his men to clean up the courtyard. Then they moved Qu Laokou and Chen's clothes and luggage to the courtyard at the east end.

Chen grabbed Qu Laokouer by the back of the neck and dragged her old man to the courtyard.

After the old couple left, Bai Zhi, Bai Wei and others hurried into the east room to tidy up, and then moved Chen Xiuyun's luggage back to the east room.

Everyone returned to the east room and sat down to chat. "Third brother, do you know why our parents came to Guandong?"

"What else could it be? Those three at home are a bother.

Before the New Year, didn't you ask someone to bring some money and gifts back to honor your parents?
As a result, the other three families became jealous and tried every possible means to take money and things away from my parents.

If my mother doesn't give it to me, the three wives will just say bad things about me."

"Old Five and his wife are the worst kind of people.

It was agreed at the beginning that my parents would live with them and they would take care of them in their old age.

At first, I agreed nicely and coaxed my parents into giving them all the keys to the house.

As a result, these two conscienceless people not only secretly took away the things and money you sent back, but also locked up all the food. They fed their parents leftovers all day long, and they still couldn’t eat enough.”

"Our parents had no other choice, so they came to the outside of the pass to look for us.

Fortunately, when you went back that year, you secretly gave our mother some money, so the two of us were able to make it through."

Qu Jiang sighed and told what he knew.

"Fuck, these beasts, are you waiting for me to be free again? I must go back and deal with them properly."

After hearing this, Qu Shaoyang slammed the table angrily.

"Okay, it's not worth getting angry with them. Since mom and dad are here, just pretend that they don't exist from now on.

As long as my parents can live in peace and stop making trouble, it will be better than anything else."

Qu Jiang is also very troubled now. Fortunately, he is far away, so out of sight, out of mind.

"By the way, I heard from your second uncle that you got promoted again? You became the general manager of something?

"What's going on? Tell me about it." Qu Jiang asked curiously.

Chen Yunhan's return was like a flash of fire, coming and going in a hurry.

Everyone just heard him say that Qu Shaoyang became a general manager and got promoted.

Chen Yunhan couldn't explain exactly what happened, and he didn't have the time to explain it to everyone in detail.

So not only Qu Jiang was curious, but even Chen Xiuyun and Yang Qionghua also wanted to know what was going on.

Qu Shaoyang recounted the story of how he was assigned to the Eastern Circuit, was appreciated by the Circuit Inspector, and became the Chief of Wood Tax.

Qu Jiang and others were also very happy after hearing this.

It was getting late, so Chen Xiuyun asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes to welcome Qu Shaoyang.

"Third brother, go to the east courtyard and take a look at our parents later.

My father had such a stubborn temper that he was slapped in the face by my mother in front of so many people. I was afraid that he would be embarrassed and would start quarreling with my mother.

Third sister-in-law, you stay here and chat with Xiuyun for a while, I'm going to visit my master in the East Courtyard."

Qu Shaoyang would give clear instructions every time before going out.

Chen Xiuyun is in charge of household affairs. If Xingjia and Jiang Chunfu cannot make up their minds about matters outside, they will consult Liu Dongshan, who will have full authority to make the decision.

After being away for such a long time, I must go and visit my master and his wife.

After arranging matters at home, Qu Shaoyang immediately went out and went to the Liu family next door.

Liu Dongshan and Lin Ruolan, a couple, have already learned the news that Qu Shaoyang has returned.

Just now, Qu Laokouer was scolding Qu Shaoyang and his brother in the yard, and Liu Dongshan and his wife also heard some of it.

At that time, Liu Dongshan wanted to go to the West Courtyard, but was stopped by Lin Ruolan.

No matter what, they are father and son. Although Liu Dongshan is Qu Shaoyang's master, he is still an outsider.

"Originally, because Xingjia and Chunfu always came to you to discuss everything, Shaoyang's father had a problem with you.

Now that Shaoyang is back, the father and son are arguing. If you go over to persuade them, won't they be even more dissatisfied with you?" Lin Ruolan counseled Liu Dongshan.

Liu Dongshan thought it made sense, so he didn't go to the next room to stop the fight.

As the noise in the west yard gradually died down, the couple finally let go of their worries and went back to the house.

Not long after, Qu Shaoyang walked into the Liu family's gate carrying some things.

"Master, Master's Wife, I'm back. Here are some snacks I bought for Shuanzhu and Xiaofeng."
