Chapter 25
As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Mother Chen and Mrs. Tong turned pale, and Father Chen who opened the door in front trembled.

He hurriedly turned around: "Why is Master Liu here?"

Saying yes, he looked around again, for fear that Master Liu would appear suddenly.

"I just left. Master Liu brought a lot of servants with me this time. When he saw that your door was locked, he waited for a long time before leaving with a cold face. Don't mention how scary he is."

The three elders of the Chen family looked at each other, and they were lucky that they escaped unharmed by not wanting to visit Pihou.

Aunt Zhang saw the happy faces of the three of them, and couldn't help reminding: "I see Master Liu's posture, and he will definitely come again. I think you might as well follow and send Yuanyuan over."

"..."

Chen's mother's face was slightly ugly, she frowned and said: "Sister Zhang has something to say, you'd better not say it, my daughter is not a concubine."

"Why do you think you are so stubborn? After all, Master Liu is a wealthy family. Even if he is a concubine, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of the year!"

"Aunt Zhang, if you want to go, you might as well go by yourself!" Chen Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and raised her eyebrows as a provocation.

"Hey, what are you talking about, girl! Big sister, why don't you care about Chen Zhengping?"

Father Chen just pretended not to hear, and brought the whole family into the house, leaving Aunt Zhang silently smacking her tongue.

The husband and wife were full of worries, worried and angry, Master Liu vowed not to stop trying to rob someone.

The big girl must not be sent to someone else to be a concubine, let alone the No. 18 house, the messy things in the back house of the big family are not worrying, if you go in according to the big girl's temperament, you may even lose your skin if you don't die.

"Father and mother, Mr. Liu is robbing the daughters of the common people, we should report to the officials, even if the emperor judges him, he would not dare to be so rampant!"

"Master Liu's son-in-law is a fifth-rank official. I heard that he knows a lot of people. They are the rich and powerful who protect each other. When the time comes, it will be us ordinary people who will suffer."

Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips, it seemed that if she was not strong enough, she would only get beaten!

Right now, she can only be strong and strong, she wants to make money, make money, make money!
Seeing the silent eldest daughter, the couple's heart ached. Last time, they changed their temperament drastically, so they shouldn't do something stupid this time, right?

Father Chen sighed, born in a humble family, it is a crime to look good!

He pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before saying: "It's not impossible now, if you are happy, you will let the two of you get married in a few days, I think Master Liu will not snatch a married woman."

"..."

Chen Yuanyuan squeezed her eyebrows, is her father a little too naive, if she really wants to rob someone, it doesn't matter if you are married or not?
The most important thing is - which eye of her father's eyes saw her sympathetic monkey! ! !
"Father, calm down first. Let's not say that I don't like leather monkeys. Even if I do get married, can you guarantee that Mr. Liu will not embarrass us?"

Father Chen frowned and said nothing, he really couldn't guarantee it right now.

Seeing her son not saying a word, Tong's old face wrinkled into a ball: "Then what should I do?"

Chen Yuanyuan spread her hands and let out a long breath: "Grandma, don't be afraid, when the time comes, soldiers will come to block you, and water will come to cover you!"

"How can you not be afraid? During the day, your father and I go to work, and we have to do the work. Your grandma and Qingqing are at ease in the embroidery workshop. You and Yunsheng sister and brother stay at home, in case Liu What will the master do again?"

"Mother, why don't I go to work with you, and Yun Sheng will let him go to the school. Take all the valuables at home with you, even if Master Liu comes, it will be a waste of time."

Chen Yuanyuan's face was somber, if Master Liu dared to fight in front of the whole family, she would definitely make a fuss, after all, she was at the foot of the emperor, even if she really had a backer, Master Liu would not dare to make a big fuss.

Chen's father and Chen's mother hesitated for a while, but nodded in agreement.

The private schools in the imperial capital are no better than other places. Although the master is good, the training is also expensive.

There is no land at home, and everything costs money for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.All the money saved in the past few years has been spent, so that Yun Sheng is eight years old and has not yet gone to school.

Thinking back to a few days ago, the 50 taels of silver handed in by my daughter can free up half of the repair fee.

"Tomorrow is just in time for the fall semester, Yun Sheng, dad will accompany you to pay the repair fee."

"Father, can I really study?"

Seeing his parents nodding, Chen Yunsheng was very excited.

He wanted to go to school a long time ago, but his family's poverty has been procrastinating, and now he can finally go to school, and he is so excited that he can't wait to dance, but the atmosphere is not right now.

Chen's father shook his head and smiled wryly. He has been a waiter in the shop for more than ten years. After seeing all kinds of things in the world, he knows that it is not easy.

He said: "Yun Sheng, you can't waste your money and study hard. Dad doesn't expect you to get any fame in the exam. It's good to learn some skills and become an accountant in the future."

"Father, mother, grandma, I know, I am the son of Chen's parents, and I will be the pillar of the family in the future!"

"You boy, father is waiting for you to be successful."

The couple and Tong's were somewhat absent-minded because of Mr. Liu's affairs, but the youngest son was going to school tomorrow, which was also a rare happy event, so he specially boiled two red eggs as a celebration.

***
The next morning.

Chen's father first took Chen Yunsheng to the private school, Chen's mother took Chen Yuanyuan to Fulai Building, Tong Shi and Chen Qingqing went to the embroidery workshop, the Chen family was empty, and the gate was tied tightly by a chain.

Fulai Building is located on Tianmen Street, the main road, which is the most prosperous place in the Imperial Capital City, with a wide variety of shops, peddlers hawking their goods, and people rushing to catch the early market, making it lively and prosperous.

When the mother and daughter arrived, Fulai Building had just opened for business.

There were two men standing in front of the counter, who seemed to be settling accounts.

One of them was a fat middle-aged man, although his eyes were not big, he was very shrewd.The other is about 27 or [-] years old, a little thin, with two dark circles under his eyes, but he has some characteristics.

The fat man smiled faintly at the two of them: "Yulian is here? Why didn't you see that old boy Zhengping?"

This is the first time Chen Yuanyuan knows that her mother's name is Yulian.

Chen's mother blessed Fushen to the slightly fat man, explained it, and then asked shopkeeper Song if he could let the eldest daughter marry the kitchen to help him.

Seeing the girl wearing a mop on her head, shopkeeper Song couldn't help asking: "Yuanyuan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I've lost a lot of weight. Is the injury on the head better?"

The family ugliness should not be publicized, and the couple did not inform shopkeeper Song of the robbery.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded politely: "It's better, thank you for your concern, the shopkeeper, can Yuanyuan come back to work?"

The mother and daughter stayed in the back kitchen for a long time, and they could be regarded as old buddies, Shopkeeper Song readily agreed.Because I'm not the chef, I'm just helping the chef, so it's still a month or two.

About half an hour later, Father Chen also rushed to the restaurant.

A man in his early thirties, the corners of his eyes are covered with crow's feet. When he passed the threshold of the restaurant, Father Chen took a deep breath, bent down slightly, with a smile on his face, and started his day's work.
