Chapter 279

He held a woven bag in his hand, filled with potatoes. As he entered the house, the cold air made Chen Jinhua shiver. Thinking about how carefree Old Wang's family was living now, she couldn't help but feel furious.

She even found her husband, the village chief, unbearable to look at.

"Whose family? I see you're just idle all day, there isn't a single bad person in the village. I told you that something was off with Old Wang's family, but you said I was being paranoid. How have you been the village chief all these years?" Chen Jinhua berated him without mercy.

Chen Zhuangshi was so taken aback that he didn't know how to react.

After a while, he finally managed to sort things out: "Honey, did Old Wang's family bully Qinghe and Little Bai again?"

He sighed as he spoke: "Now their grain relations have been transferred to the county, they are county people, we can't do anything about it."

"What bullying? They are simply harming others! Old Wang looks honest, but you always say he knows his mistakes. I think the one who is completely wrong is you. Qinghe, this child, was stolen by them!

His real parents even came looking for him.

Over the years, you've seen how biased Wang Shoucheng has been. If it weren't for Qinghe's hard work, I think he would have been ruined long ago."

Chen Jinhua was so angry that she didn't know where to vent her frustration.

Chen Zhuangshi was also shocked. He had always suspected that Wang Qinghe might not be their biological child, but he never imagined that Wang Shoucheng had actually stolen him.

"Qinghe, you've suffered so much over the years. What do your real parents say? Do they plan to hold Old Wang's family accountable? If you want to pursue it, Uncle Chen will find witnesses from the village. Everyone's eyes aren't blind; they know how they treated you.

Plus, there's the matter with Zhao Guifen. Rest assured, everyone is on your side."

Chen Zhuangshi looked serious. He wasn't one for jokes and was very upright. Once he promised something, he would definitely help.

"His parents don't plan to pursue it. They say it was Qinghe's uncle who made Wang Shoucheng do this, and they plan to let it go," Chen Jinhua said, feeling even more heartbroken for Wang Qinghe.

This child had it too hard.

"How can there be such people? The child has suffered so much, endured so much hardship, and they just brush it off lightly? Qinghe, what do you think? If you don't want to let it go, Uncle will gather all the witnesses and evidence for you.

It's up to you."

Chen Zhuangshi had always felt a strong connection with Wang Qinghe. This child worked hard and was reliable, never complaining during the busy farming season.

He did whatever was asked of him at home, never slacking off.

He was a good kid.

Just with bad luck. Since this incident happened in their village, he hadn't taken Wang Shoucheng's strange behavior seriously enough.

If he had noticed earlier, he might have been able to help the child more.

At that moment, Chen Zhuangshi felt even more inclined to take care of Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe was very grateful for Chen Zhuangshi's offer: "Thank you, Uncle Chen. This really helps me a lot. Uncle, I don't want to let this go easily. I'll find the right opportunity to make them pay for what they've done."

"You're right. They did something terrible, and there's no reason for you to forgive them. Although others might talk behind your back, or your relatives might argue with you, Qinghe, as long as you stand firm, Uncle will definitely help you."

Chen Zhuangshi's promise moved Wang Qinghe deeply.

The couple had helped him and Bai Xiuxiu so much.

"That's better, at least you have some heart. By the way, who did you see at the village entrance?" Chen Jinhua was pleased with her husband's decision, knowing he wouldn't let her down.

"Look at me, I forgot to mention it. I saw Old Wang's family," Chen Zhuangshi, distracted by his wife, had forgotten to mention it.

"Old Wang's family? They're back in the village? They came at the right time. I want to ask them how they can do such shameless things. I'll make sure they never have the face to come back to the village. Is anyone at the brigade office?

If so, I'll use the loudspeaker.

I need everyone in the village to know what they've done!"

Chen Jinhua was about to leave.

"Come back inside, this isn't urgent. Some people are visiting relatives these days. Let's wait until everyone returns before we discuss it. I heard them talking about a few wives going to the mountains.

Their family is really strange.

The men stay at home, and the women handle everything."

Chen Zhuangshi disapproved of such behavior.

Although women can hold up half the sky, physical labor like mountain work should be done by the men.

Letting the women do the work while the men stay at home was unacceptable.

"Going to the mountains?" When Bai Xiuxiu heard that Zhou Jiaojiao was leading a group to the mountains, she felt a sense of excitement.

Of course, the most important thing was that if everyone in the village went to the mountains together, they might get some benefits.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Aunt Jinhua and then at her husband.

Her eyes were full of eagerness.

Wang Qinghe knew his wife well. Seeing her expression, he understood her thoughts.

He smiled helplessly and then spoke to Chen Jinhua and Chen Zhuangshi: "Uncle, Aunt, we came back this time not only to visit you but also to see my master and to go into the mountains. I want to hunt some game.

The New Year is approaching, and if we have some luck, it will make the holiday better.

My wife and I going to the mountains alone isn't very safe.

Why don't we go together? My hunting skills are decent, and you can help me corner the prey. Between our two families, we can bring back some game to share."

Chen Jinhua was immediately intrigued.

Since winter began, the family had eaten less meat.

It wasn't yet time to slaughter the New Year pig, and even if it were, there wouldn't be enough for everyone in the team this year.

The little bit of meat they had wouldn't even suffice for gifts.

Their son had found a girlfriend this year, and the two families would soon meet. They needed to prepare some meat for them.

They couldn't let others look down on their family.

There were so many occasions where they needed meat, and the elderly at home also needed nourishment.

Although the village had distributed more money this year, there were plenty of expenses as well.

Chen Jinhua looked at her husband with eager eyes, making it hard for Chen Zhuangshi to ignore her.

Chen Zhuangshi wanted to refuse. Qinghe's words clearly showed he wanted to help the old couple. As the head of the team and an elder, how could he take advantage of this?
