The fierce wife is the happy head of the family

Chapter 43
In Tanping County, in the study of the Chen Mansion, Chen Erdong was teasing a few concubines, and Madam Chen walked in with the help of a maidservant and glared at them.Chen Erdong pushed the concubine away and quickly stood up, stammering, "Husband, madam!"

"Ma'am!" The concubines grabbed each other's hands, extremely nervous.

This Mrs. Chen is the daughter of a rich family. If it wasn't for the handicap in her left leg and no good family would dare to marry her, she wouldn't have married Chen Erdong, who used to look honest but was dishonest when he had money.

"The Chen family is already in the limelight and the business is already at a loss, you still have the mind to play around here!" Mrs. Chen flicked her veil and looked at the concubines angrily, "One day, when the Chen family falls into ruin, I will sell you all! Yihong Courtyard is for the family."

When the concubines heard this, their faces turned pale, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Madam, please forgive me! This servant will never dare again, never dare again."

Most of these concubines are good-looking among the maidservants, and they are somewhat pretty, and it took countless opportunities to get Chen Erdong's favor.

"Madam!" Chen Erdong trotted over, grabbed Madam Chen's hand, and Madam Chen's maid hurriedly retreated.The concubines knelt on the ground and kept trembling.

"Sit here, is the dessert I bought for you yesterday delicious? Do you want to repair the clothes that Xiu Niang made for you!" Chen Erdong took Mrs. Chen to the couch and sat down, covering her with a blanket very carefully, so that Mrs. Chen The bent left leg can't be seen anymore. Looking at it from a distance, I don't know how majestic it is.

No one can match Chen Erdong's inquisitiveness, so he likes to keep concubines, and Mrs. Chen just turns a blind eye.Chen Zhongxi stood at the door for a long time. The five brothers hated that his father had so many women, making the backyard always smoky.

"Zhongxi, you are here!" Mrs. Chen was the first to see Chen Zhongxi, and her mood improved.

"You all go down!" Chen Erdong waved at the concubines. The concubines looked at Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen was not paying attention to them, so she ran out quickly. Chen Zhongxi took a few steps back in disgust. " and left.

Only Chen Erdong and Mrs. Chen were left in the study, and Chen Zhongxi walked in, calling softly, "Father and mother!"

"Hey!" Chen Erdong and Mrs. Chen happily let him sit beside him.The Chen family's business is all managed by Chen Zhongxi. He has the highest status in the Chen family. Everyone is afraid of him due to his cold appearance and cold heart.

"Father, I think you are too free!" Chen Zhongxi looked at Chen Erdong, and Chen Erdong's heart skipped a beat. What does he mean?
"Zhongxi, why did you come back early today?" Mrs. Chen's attitude changed a lot. She was very kind to her five sons.

"I thought of something, I have to entrust it to my parents!" Chen Zhongxi said calmly.

"What's the matter?" Chen Erdong asked, Mrs. Chen listened carefully.

The youngest son of the Chen family, Chen Huhu, was going to ask Chen Erdong for some money, but when he heard Chen Zhongxi's voice outside the study, he was most afraid of his elder brother, so he turned around and was about to leave, after two steps, he crept over and hid behind the door to listen. .

When Mrs. Chen's personal maid went out, she told all the servants not to get close. This has been the rule of the Chen family for many years. He is the young master, so naturally no one stopped him. When he came in, there was no one outside the study.

"Did your parents know about Tang Qinglu?" Chen Zhongxi asked calmly.

Chen Erdong and Mrs. Chen looked at each other and nodded. Mrs. Chen asked suspiciously, "I know, she is the daughter of the Tang family adopted by the Lin family. Why did Zhongxi ask her?"

"The imperial court closed Yuan's overseas sales channels, imitations and wooden products are on the rise, and the prices are still cheap. The ceramic industry is not as prosperous as it used to be. Many ceramic families are facing closure. Our family's business has also plummeted, and some foreign money has been delayed. If we don’t come back, we don’t have much money left, and our family’s expenses are too high. If we can’t seek foreign aid, our family won’t last five years. At this time, many people are considering changing industries. I also have this plan, but our family has been doing it for so many years. In the ceramics business, if we change industries suddenly, we may not be acclimatized, and we will fail if we cannot figure out the way. It is best to have other industry pioneers lead us, otherwise there is no point in changing industries.” Chen Zhongxi seriously talked about the dilemma faced by his family.

"Five, five years, then, what should I do then?" Chen Erdong asked anxiously. He was a lucky man. He married Mrs. Chen when he was young, thanks to his father-in-law's good business management. The son took over to take care of the family business, and he had never taken care of the business seriously.

"The prosperity of the Chen family needs the help of a big family. The Lin family in Baiye County has the most capital. Tang Qinglu was raised by the Lin family. I investigated her. She is not as domineering as everyone said, but she is comparable to a man. Strange girl, she is also very much loved in the Lin family, if you can get in touch with her, and get to know the Lin family through her, it will be very good if the Lin family makes a move, whether it is financial aid or bringing us into another business." Chen Zhongxi continued to analyze, It has to be said that he has a keen sense of business, but suffers from lack of funds.

"But, our family rarely interacts with the Tang family, and we don't make friends with the Lin family, let alone see Tang Qinglu, how can we get in touch with her." Mrs. Chen was at a loss.

"It is precisely because of this that I came to discuss with my parents." Chen Zhongxi lowered his head, God knows how big a decision he made.

"Zhongxi, do you have a solution?" Chen Erdong's eyes lit up.

"Second brother was raised at Grandpa's house when he was a child. Tang Qinglu has been to Chenjia Village many times. They know each other. It is said that their relationship is not bad. I thought, let second brother be a chess piece. Through him, we can get close to Tang Qinglu." Chen Zhongxi said own ideas.

"As a pawn?" Mrs. Chen heard the meaning.

"Yes!" Chen Zhongxi nodded, "My second brother, you have urged me many times, and there are many people who are willing to marry their daughters to him, but he just refuses. In order to escape marriage, he went to the capital by himself and stayed for five years. Why? "

"He, he said he didn't like it. He wants to pursue his own ideals and take a teacher's lesson to teach and educate people!" Madam Chen said.

"Yes and no." Chen Zhongxi said, "He has fallen in love with Tang Qinglu and has never changed. He also knows that his identity is not worthy of her, so he went to the capital to see if there is a way out. It is best to fight for an honorable identity. It is estimated that he did not make a name for himself, and the past five years have not been good, and he has been thinking about her, so he came home."

Chen Zhongxi pointed out Chen Jiayang's heart straight to the point. Chen Erdong and Mrs. Chen were stunned. They never knew that Chen Jiayang was such a person.

"Then, what do you want to do?" Chen Erdong asked.

"I haven't figured out the specifics yet. Let my second brother get in touch with Tang Qinglu more first. Mother, you took time to bring Tang Qinglu back to the Tang family tonight. You were flayed to ask for marriage, and you were also rumored by the people. You must be very bitter. Men in this world Everyone has taken a fancy to her background, few people have taken a fancy to her, tell my second brother that this child is really pitiful, I believe mother, you have also heard some rumors, and you know how to do it." Chen Zhongxi explained to Mrs. Chen .

"Why did you say these things to him?" Mrs. Chen didn't understand, and neither did Chen Erdong.

"To this day, my second brother thinks that he is not worthy of Tang Qinglu, so he dares not go to see him. We have to stimulate him, let him take the initiative, and go to Tang Qinglu more often." Chen Zhongxi was very organized.

"If Tang Qinglu doesn't like Jiayang, or if the Tang family or the Lin family assigns Tang Qinglu to someone else, wouldn't Jiayang be seriously hurt? I don't think the Lin family will marry Tang Qinglu to Jiayang. In the end, if we Without the help of the Lin family, Jiayang failed to marry Tang Qinglu, he would be the biggest victim, he is innocent, we can't do that." Mrs. Chen thought of the consequences.

"Mother, if you want the Chen family to prosper, there will be sacrifices." Chen Zhongxi was very calm, he looked at Chen Erdong, "Father is a commoner, if our family goes bankrupt, do we have to go back to Chenjia Village? What will happen to those people?" Look at us? Huluo Pingyang being bullied by dogs, mother, you have studied, you know what it is like, mother, can you bear it?"

"I..." Mrs. Chen has never suffered, she can't bear it.

"Also, none of the younger brothers are married. If our family goes bankrupt, which girl is willing to marry them? Would you like to watch them change from a rich life to a poor boy with nothing and be bullied? The second brother is also Chen It is his responsibility to ensure the prosperity of the family." Chen Zhongxi was determined to persuade Mrs. Chen to persuade Chen Jiayang.

Mrs. Chen bowed her head, Chen Erdong didn't dare to speak, Chen Zhongxi knew that they had acquiesced in his words and actions.

Sacrifice the second brother to make the family prosperous?It was too scary, Chen Huhu couldn't listen anymore.He walked out.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, what's the matter with you?" Chen Jiayang just came back from the outside. He had been back a long time ago, but Chen Matchmaker is a greedy person. He invited him to dinner and was taken to buy something by her. He pays.This delay made him come back late, and he saw Chen Huhu who ran out in a panic and fell several times.

"Second brother!" Chen Huhu rushed over and grabbed Chen Jiayang's arm. He really wanted to tell Chen Jiayang what he heard, and he was about to say it. When he thought of Chen Zhongxi's cold face, he was afraid that Chen Zhongxi's plan would be ruined by Chen Zhongxi. Cursing, he held back, and said tremblingly, "Second brother, do you have any money?"

"How much do you want?" Chen Jiayang didn't ask Chen Huhu why.

"Forget it, forget it, second brother, how much money do you have?" Chen Huhu laughed, and patted Chen Jiayang's arm, "Second brother, you are the best second brother!"

"What's the matter?" Chen Jiayang asked gently, he felt that Chen Huhu had something on his mind.

"It's nothing!" Chen Huhu walked past him with tears in his eyes, he was destined to be terrified to keep the secret.

Chen Jiayang felt that Chen Huhu's back was too strange, and he walked up in three steps in two, "Fifth brother, second brother has some money on him, if you really need it, I can give it to you."

"Second brother, you must take good care of yourself, don't starve yourself, you know?" Chen Huhu said softly.

"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?" Chen Jiayang was worried.

"It's okay. I went out to drink with my friends yesterday. They plotted against me and asked me to pay an extra amount. I'll take it with my brother in a few days." Chen Huhu patted Chen Jiayang on the shoulder and left again.He couldn't stand Chen Jiayang's concerned gaze.

Strange!Chen Jiayang didn't even think about it.
