Chapter 151 Soldiers

After chatting with Chen's mother, Hongmei left.

Before I walked out of the courtyard, I saw a weak young man in a thick cotton-padded jacket, with a tight face and awe-inspily strode in front of him, followed by a teenager who was a few years younger than him with the same serious face.

Seeing this, a little confusion flashed in Hongmei's eyes. She couldn't help asking the little maid who sent her out and said, "Who are they? Why are you in a hurry?"

The little maid looked up and replied, "Oh, the one walking in front is Chen's mother's eldest son Chen Da, the head of the surrounding farm, and the back is her second son Chen Er. They came probably because they have to discuss with Chen's mother about the spring broadcast these days."

Hongmei became clear and muttered, "It turns out that they are the two sons of the godmother."

"Hmm." The little maid answered and said, "Chen Zhuangtou is very capable, and Chen's mother often praises it."

As he spoke, Chen Da and Chen Er had already walked to Hongmei's side.

Now Hongmei is the goddaughter of Chen's mother. When she saw the two brothers, she had to bow her knees to greet them.

However, Chen Da and Chen Er were full of their feelings, and their footsteps did not stop. They passed by Hongmei without looking at them.

Hongmei was angry, but there was a little maid watching. She could only suppress her unhappiness, pretended to be fine, and continued to walk forward.

Waiting to return to the wing, Hongmei said to Fuduoduo, "When I came back, I saw Chen's mother's eldest son and second son hurried to find her. Something probably happened. Do you want to inquire about it?

Fuduoduo shook his head and said, "No, Nian Jiang and Chunfu have gone. If you go to explore again, it will arouse Mrs. Chen's disgust." After saying that, she looked up and saw the hesitation in Hongmei's eyes. She asked, "What's wrong? But what happened?"

Hongmei thought for a moment and listened to what had just happened to Fu Duoduo, and said, "Do you think they are too oblivious?"

Hearing the words, Fuduo squeezed his lips and smiled and joked, "In my opinion, it's not that they are arrogant, but that you are careful."

"Auntie, I don't have any maidservants." Hongmei said disoingly.

"Why not?" Fu Duoduo said, "If they have something in their hearts, how can they pay attention to other things? Besides, it's just an hour for you to worship Chen's mother as your godmother. How could the two brothers know so soon? Not to mention, there is such an annoyance today, and ignoring you is not intentional. With that, she thought slightly, looked at Hongmei, and said with a smile, "If my guess is right, if you meet again in the future, the two brothers will definitely compensate you." The words are very clear.

Hongmei was puzzled and asked, "Why? Auntie, why did you say that?

Fuduoduo explained, "I think Chen's mother will definitely tell her son that she accepted you as her goddaughter today, and will also say that she has just left and ask them if they have met you. Don't you think the two brothers will remember anything? Out of affection, in addition, you are the close-fitting maid around me. The compensation is not light, and maybe there are gifts. After saying that, he covered his lips and smiled, and said jokingly, "If I give you rare things as gifts at that time, don't hide them. I'm reluctant to take them out to let everyone see the freshness."

"Oh, auntie, look at what you said, this is not even there." With that, Hongmei stamped her feet and said embarrassedly.

Fuduoduo spared Hongmei and said, "If there is a shadow, it will be known in a few days."

In fact, it won't take a few days, and it will be known tomorrow morning.

Because Chen's mother saw her eldest son and second son coming in and saw them without saying a word. She sat solemnly in front of her and looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

So, Chen's mother took the lead in talking and said, "Today, I received a goddaughter named Hongmei, who is my aunt's personal maid. You have to treat this god sister well, better than your own sister, you know?"

"Dad sister?" The eldest son frowned and asked.

Mother Chen nodded and said, "Well, although she is young, she is very clever and thorough." After a pause, he continued, "by the way, she just got out of me. You should meet the girl in a green jacket, who is quite upright."

Chen Da and Chen Er couldn't help looking at each other, and their pupils suddenly dilated, looking suddenly.

When Chen's mother saw it, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? What's your expression?"

Chen Er looked at Chen Da, and the corners of his mouth were so beautiful that it was difficult to speak.

Chen sighed and said lightly, "Nothing, I just thought she was just an ordinary maid, so I missed it." Seeing that Chen's mother still wants to explore, he then said, "Since she is my god sister, I'll go to find a rare thing later and send it to her in person tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

Of course, Chen's mother said yes, but looking at the expressions of the two brothers, she guessed that this matter must not be so simple.

However, she knows that her eldest son has always been a measured person. Since he doesn't say it, it also has his reason. After all, she can't help it, and she can't let go of this matter anymore, not to mention that there are other more annoying things to be solved.

So, Mother Chen transferred the question and asked, "What happened to the Grange when you came in such a hurry?"

Chen Da sighed again and said, "These tenants are unrelenting and insist on reducing the rent, otherwise they will continue to make trouble." With that, he hesitated for a moment and said in a discussion tone, "Mom, you see, if they are like this, there is no way. Besides, when there is a letter from Yufu responding to how to deal with it, the season of spring sowing will definitely pass wrong. This year's harvest will be greatly affected. At that time, we will be in trouble. The superiors will think how much we are greedy. It's better to hire some farmers first and implement the spring sowing first. As for the rest There is always a way to solve it." After saying that, he looked at Mother Chen and waited for her to make a decision.

Mother Chen said, "Before Hongmei came, I also had this plan. However, let's wait and talk about it."

Chen Da doesn't understand, but he is calm and patient to listen to Chen's mother's words.

As for Chen Er, he was a little anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why? Can that red plum turn things around? Mother, I can't wait for this spring broadcast!"

Mother Chen explained, "She doesn't have the ability to turn things around, but her master can." With that, he brought Hongmei's letter to Yu Shiyi to Chen Da and Chen Er. In the end, she also analyzed and said, "Although my aunt was sent to recover from illness on the surface, in fact, the young master wanted to protect her. Nowadays, Yufu is in chaos. If you are not careful, your aunt will step into the trap set by others. The young master is really good at his aunt. You said that since my aunt is so favored by the young master and received a letter from my aunt, won't you open it immediately and solve this difficult problem?

Chen Da understood and nodded secretly in agreement.

Chen Er was in the fog and asked, "Mom, the young master spoils my aunt, but what does it have to do with us? This is a matter of the Grange, and it has nothing to do with aunt! How can the young master solve it immediately? In my opinion, we'd better think about another fold! I think the eldest brother's method is quite good. Although it damages our own money, a little construction can improve our family's reputation around here.

Hearing this, Chen's mother knocked on Chen Er's head and scolded, "What's good? This is the next strategy. There is no way. Do you think these farm fields are all your own? What about the reputation? Can we afford it? Once you get it, there will be suspicion of seizing the master. You don't know how you will die at that time.

Chen Er was very wronged and said, "Mom, what's wrong with me? Isn't that what the eldest brother proposed?"

Chen's mother was so angry that she gave Chen Er a chestnut and scolded, "Your eldest brother didn't say anything about creating a reputation. Don't make trouble. Listen carefully and talk about it later."

"Oh." Chen Er touched the hurt head and answered gently.

Seeing this, Chen Da handed Chen's mother a cup of tea and said, "Please calm down. The second brother is young and didn't expect it to be so comprehensive. It's reasonable. I can just mention him more in the future. At present, I'd better think about the countermeasures of the farm."

Mother Chen took a sip and said, "You are still considerate and sensible. This second and third brother will add obstacles to me." With that, he was particularly angry and stared at Chen Er fiercely.

Chen Er was stared and shrank his neck and dared not say another word.

After a few sips of tea, Chen's mother continued to say, "I think this letter will arrive in Yufu tonight, and there should be a response tomorrow. Well, boss, you should continue to deal with those tenants. It's better to persuade them to stop tossing around, work hard, tell them about what Yufu knows about this matter, and tell them the worst result. I hope they can understand the truth that thin arms can't twist their thighs. If I say so, I will go to my aunt now and tell her our plans. At the worst, I will pay for it myself and implement the spring broadcast event in front of me first. In this way, we can still leave a kind reputation in front of our aunt, which is only good and not bad.

Chen Da nodded and got up to prepare to leave.

Chen Er muttered in a low voice, "Well, it's also a reputation. Why can't I say it?" When Yu Guang saw that Chen's mother stared at him fiercely, he immediately put away his complaints, pointed to the bridge of his nose with a smile, and asked, "What about me? What should I do? At least I'm a man who can stand up."

Mother Chen looked at me again and said, "Just follow your eldest brother, grow your brain, and don't make us any trouble." After saying that, he stopped talking to Chen Er and left straight away.

Chen Er made a mischievous face at Chen's mother's back.

When Chen Da saw it, he shook his head helplessly and said, "You are a child's heart."

Chen Er didn't say anything and smiled at Chen Da.
