Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2538 Chen Qing's Secret

At that moment, he told how he visited the textile garden and how he participated in Wu Yijun's cotton textile project.

Then Chen Lin outlined his plan: he planned to rebuild a cotton textile factory on the sandy land along the river in the south, and produce it with Australian secret techniques.

"...What Australians lack most now is all kinds of cotton cloth. As long as they are woven, they can be sold..." Chen Lin exaggerated the market prospect, "Nowadays the silk workshop is in depression, and the life of the people is also difficult. If there is such a In the cotton spinning factory, everyone has a livelihood, and the life of the relatives can be a little easier."

Although the Chen family of Nansha is well-known locally, it is quite powerful.But the foundation is still shallow.Because the family has never had an important breakthrough in the imperial examination over the years.Benefiting from the collective support under the clan system, there have been some scholars, but none of them have passed the exam.The highest honor is just a bagong, and he has never been awarded a real job.

Although the Chen family in Nansha is known as the heirloom of farming and reading, this "reading" obviously has no gold content. Without the fame of raising people to be a scholar, they will not be able to join the ranks of the gentry. The local power is very limited, and they all live by gathering together , The large number of people has become a force in the county.

Because of this, except for a few people engaged in industry and commerce, the members of the Chen clan still rely on farming and work for their livelihood.Working in the silk workshop was a major source of income for the Chen family in the past.

Although the silk workshop has been restored now, Chen Xuan quoted a large number of workers with foreign surnames because of his "inappropriate position", and the Chen family members were excluded from the competition. There are many complaints.

Not long ago, the Chen family was ransacked by rebels, and everyone was impoverished from top to bottom. As soon as Chen Lin's "plan to build a factory" was thrown out, he immediately won the support of young people.

"After you go back, talk to your parents and elders, and talk about the benefits of this cotton textile factory." Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Chen Lin immediately ordered someone to share the "gift" he brought with everyone.

"These are some small items I bought in Lingao. They are not valuable items, but they are all practical items at home. Take them back to your family."

These things are actually just: candles, matches, candy, mosquito repellent water, household medicine... Although they are not valuable, they are practical and effective.

Chen Lin said something to cheer everyone up again, asking everyone to wait for the news of the start of construction of the cotton textile factory at any time.When the time comes to hire workers, the tribe will definitely be given priority.

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Lin walked into the courtyard with excitement, looked at the stars all over the sky, and felt that there were endless possibilities in front of him.He glanced at the east and west rooms where the practice team lived, the lights were still on: what are they still busy with?Probably because of the new textile factory.Although it is the property of Wu Yijun's family, there is also a share of their family here.The point is, once this project can be done well, I will be recognized by the Australians, and I will have a great chance to get on the big ship of the Australians in the future.

He was planning to go to the side room of the practice group to "discuss matters", but suddenly saw Chen Qing in the corner cuddling with someone and talking about something, they looked very affectionate.He was secretly surprised: I didn't hear that Chen Qing had any friends in the village, but I didn't expect this kid to be quite capable...

Walking over quietly to take a look, it was like a thunderbolt: it was his cousin/sister Chen Yue who was snuggling in Chen Qing's arms!

Speaking of which, Chen Lin is not a pedantic, old-fashioned, old-fashioned, feudal figure—he is a young man himself.It's not that he can't see the poverty of Chen Qing's family.It's just that the girl's move is too unrestrained: the big girl's family is snuggling in the arms of a man in the middle of the night, what kind of thing is this?The most terrible thing is that Chen Yue is Chen Lin's clan aunt in terms of patriarchal clan!
Although Chen Qing's family is very different from Chen Lin's grandfather's family, after all, it was passed down from the same ancestor. Such a thing is a great shame to the family, and both men and women will be put to death by dipping in a pig cage!

If this incident comes to light, Second Uncle can accuse him of lax discipline if he grasps the handle!Just drive him out of the village.The tribe will not have another word.Not to mention regaining the power of the clan, setting up a business, even whether he can gain a foothold in the village in the future has a big question mark!

Thinking of this, he was already in a cold sweat.Because he was afraid of alarming others, he didn't stop immediately, but waited for Chen Yue to hand something to Ah Qing, and then hurried away before appearing from the dark place.

"Aqing!"

"Uncle Ninth!" Ah Qing was awakened from his dementia by the voice, and unconsciously pressed his chest.

"Bring it!" Chen Lin stretched out his hand with a sullen face.

"what……"

"Don't pretend to be confused!" Chen Lin lowered his voice, "You are so courageous! Aren't you afraid of death?!"

Chen Qingqi and Ai Ai reluctantly took the things out of his bosom.

Chen Lin took a look, but it was a handkerchief.He put the handkerchief away carefully, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing! You and Chen Yue are aunts and nephews! You dare to do such a thing against human relations! Let the clan know, you and her are both Life is at stake!"

Since ancient times, the same surname has not been married, not to mention that they are all descended from the same clan.

Chen Qing was full of disappointment and fear, and begged in a low voice: "Uncle Lin, Chen Yue and I are in love, don't tell the clan..."

"It's good that you know the seriousness!" Chen Lin said, "Who else knows about this besides you?! Do your parents know?"

Chen Qing quickly shook his head and said, "No one knows!"

"No one knows, how do I know? Don't think that your affairs are kept secret and no one will know. Others probably just don't want to be troublesome!" Chen Lin let out a heavy breath, "Finally, God is kind enough to let you I see it."

After saying that, he asked again: "Aside from this handkerchief, what tokens of love have you exchanged with Ah Yue? Take them out as soon as possible! Don't be caught as ironclad evidence!"

"It's gone...it's gone..." Chen Qing said tremblingly.

Without further ado, Chen Lin kicked it over, and scolded in a low voice, "You want to die and throw yourself into the river outside the village as soon as possible, so as not to implicate others! I'll ask you again, is there any?"

Seeing that Uncle Jiu, who had always been amiable on weekdays, turned so ferocious tonight, Chen Qing was frightened, so he could only admit "there is more".

"Go, go to your room and take out everything!" Chen Qing "escorted" his nephew to the sleeping room.Forced him to take out all the things that Chen Yue gave him, except for the handkerchief, shoes and socks made by her own hands, and finally, there was even a bellyband...

This pissed off Chen Lin, it was simply outrageous!He gave Chen Qing two mouths, and asked, "You shameless bastard! Tell the truth: where did this come from?!"

"No, no," Chen Qing covered his face, terrified by Uncle Jiu, and argued, "Yue'er gave it to me."

This time, Chen Lin was so angry that Tianling Gai was about to fly up. He never thought that the girl who was always well-behaved and obedient would do such a "shameless" thing!
He really wanted to kick this nephew to death.But he calmed down immediately.Chen Qing is his right-hand man, and Chen Yue is his younger sister.He has to protect them from harm.

He took a breath, calmed down, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything here? Don't lie to me, if something happens, both of you will die!"

"It's all here, it's all here..."

Chen Qing wrapped up all the items, brought him to the stove, saw no one around, and stuffed him directly into the stove.

There were still embers in the stove, and it burned up immediately.Chen Lin was still worried, so he poked it with a stick again to make sure it was all burned before going back.

"Tell me honestly: did you and Chen Yue...have..." Chen Lin felt uncomfortable.

Chen Qing hurriedly said: "No! Of course not!"

"That's good!" Chen Qing asked again: "Did you give her any tokens?"

"Only a pair of silver earrings, which I bought myself."

"Is there any special mark?"

"No, just type the name of the silver shop."

"What's the name of the name?"

"Maoyu. It's in the county seat..."

"Not your name?"

"No, no." Chen Qing shook his head in fright.

Chen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, a pair of silver earrings was no evidence, he warned in a low voice: "I will pretend that this has never happened. You should restrain yourself and stop thinking about it earlier. Otherwise you will Neither Yue'er nor Yue'er ended well! I will naturally find a good wife with you in the future, and you don't need to be in a hurry." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind Ah Qing who was full of disappointment.

After Chen Lin taught his nephew a lesson, he called his sister over and reprimanded her in a low voice.

"...You are a good girl, how could you do such a shameless thing! Unexpectedly...unexpectedly..." Chen Qing couldn't tell what happened when he saw the girl's bellyband for a while, so he turned a corner, "Ah Qing is your nephew! You don't want to die! If the clan finds out, they will be soaked in a pig cage!"

Chen Yue was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, repeatedly admitted her mistake, and begged her brother not to report it.

"...Don't be afraid, I am your elder brother and Qing'er's uncle! Even if you do such a scandal, I have to cover it up for you. I have already ordered him to burn everything you gave me. He sent it The earrings are fine, just keep them—don’t wear them out. If someone asks where you got them, just say I bought them for you—understand?”

"Yes, brother." Chen Yue was so frightened at this moment that his brother would do whatever he wanted.

Chen Lin let out a heavy breath, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays there are dangers everywhere, you don't want to take the wrong path, wrong step, wrong step. At that time, your lives will be lost, and it will be difficult for me to survive in the family! You are rare Don't live alone with Qing'er." He thought for a while, "Last time Miss Li told me that she wanted to bring a spinner's apprentice to help. You can move to her room and learn from her!"
