Chapter 66 Doubt
The uncle's murderer was standing opposite. Chen Qin felt chills in her heart. Fear filled her heart. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand.

He watched helplessly as his brother Chen Zhuang walked past the murderer and happily headed to the grain storage yard.

She didn't know where the courage came from. Chen Qin gritted her teeth, raised her steps, and rushed to her elder brother's side.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

"Brother, let's go quickly!" Chen Qin eagerly pulled Chen Zhuang's arm, but with his weak body, he couldn't pull it no matter how hard he tried.

"Leave? Where are you going? You can make a lot of money here today." Chen Zhuang asked doubtfully, "What happened to you?"

"Brother, let's go find daddy." Chen Qin was almost crying, tears welling up in her eyes. From time to time, she turned her head to look in the direction of the dock, as if the murderer was about to rush over and chop at herself with a knife.

"What's wrong with you? Come with me. The adults are over there to help move the machine." Chen Zhuang loved his sister very much. Seeing her in such a hurry, he didn't care about making money.

The two quickly found their father, Chen Liu, but unlike Chen Zhuang, Chen Liu did piecework. What he moved was some machinery, which required the joint efforts of many people. It was not tiring but very slow, so it was guaranteed. Now that he was leaving, it was equivalent to The previous hour or two were wasted.

"What happened?" Chen Liu asked.

When Chen Qin saw her father and brother, the family was reunited. The courage she had just gathered finally gave out, and she couldn't help it anymore and cried.

"Don't cry. What happened? Who bullied you?" Chen Zhuang immediately became helpless when he saw his sister crying.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Chen Qin has not yet recovered and is speechless.

"Is it that Chen Xun? Tell me, my brother fought with him!" Chen Gong roared loudly.

As soon as the word Chen Xun came out, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

"No! No! He didn't bully me." Chen Qin quickly waved her hand to deny it.

But the pear-shaped face and the whimpering denial were not convincing at all.

"Let's go! Brother, go argue with him." Chen Zhuang pulled his sister to leave.

"What's wrong!" At this time, the steward who was directing the relocation finally came over and asked.

"It's okay! Steward, I have something to do and I can't continue working today. Please find someone else to take my place." Chen Liu grabbed his impulsive son, stood in front of the two, and explained to the steward.

The steward looked at the family of three. She knew Chen Qin. The first girl to enter the patriarch's courtyard was well known to everyone in the management of Chenjiazhuang.

It was only because of Chen Qin that Chen Liu could find this easy job. You know, the people who moved the valuable machinery were all Chenjiazhuang's own people.

"Since you have something to do, let's go and do it. Xiaojiu, come over and pay Chen Liu your wages." The steward called the clerk over.

"Don't dare, don't dare. I just started work today and have to leave. How dare I ask for money." Chen Liu refused quickly.

"After all, he has done something good." The steward wanted to form a good relationship, but who knew if Chen Qin would one day climb a branch and become a phoenix.

Seeing that she was crying so hard but she didn't dare to tell who the person who bullied her was, the clan leader might have taken advantage of her.

However, the steward was still a little strange. The clan leader had always been very upright, so why did he bully the little girl and run back home in tears, without the other members of the family trying to stop her? This would affect the image of the Chen family.

"If you have something to do, go home and don't mess around here. There are many people coming and going on the pier, and it will have a bad impact." The steward advised.

"Yes, let's go back now." Chen Liu quickly returned to his temporary home in the slum area with his son and daughter, pulled down the curtain, looked at Chen Qin and asked: "What is going on, please tell me slowly. "

In fact, he had the same suspicion as the steward. In the eyes of poor people like them, this was actually a good thing.As long as the Chen family recognizes this, Chen Qin will be out of the sea of ​​misery in her life, and even her brother Chen Zhuang will be able to benefit from it.

"I saw my uncle's murderer on the dock today." Chen Qin had already controlled his emotions.

A little girl who is a little over 13 years old is already very strong to be able to do this.

"What!" Chen Liu couldn't believe it was this.

"On the dock? Why didn't you tell me then?" Chen Zhuang believed in his sister. She had been smart since she was a child and would not admit her mistakes.

"I was scared at the time. I didn't know if there were any of his accomplices around, so I didn't dare to say anything." Chen Qin replied weakly.

"What you did is right. Those pirates are very vicious. You should be careful." Chen Liuxian touched his daughter's head and was glad that his daughter did not act recklessly today: "You can see clearly, they really killed your uncle. Pirates?"

On the day of the accident, Chen Liu and his son were cooking salt outside, and only his daughter was doing some housework at home.

Chen Liu's eldest brother Chen Er fell into the sea due to a storm when he went to sea. Not only did he break his leg due to debris, but he also suffered from a disease. He was very weak and could only do some knitting in the village. Live easy.

Who would have thought that the pirates would go straight to the village that day, and most of the people outside the village would escape, but most of the people in the village would be captured or killed.

"I can see clearly, it must be the pirate who killed the uncle." Chen Qin confirmed.

"It shouldn't be." Chen Liu frowned: "Chenjiazhuang was also hit by pirates. Many people died. How can these pirates still operate in Chenjiazhuang's private port?"

"No, that person is the person who works for the elder brother. He should be the steward of Chenjiazhuang." Chen Qin told even more shocking news.

"Is that the middle-aged man with the scar on his face?" Chen Zhuang asked.

"Yes, it's him. I remember this scar, it must be him." Chen Qin confirmed.

"I'm going to kill him right now to avenge my uncle." Chen Zhuang mentioned the long knife at home and was about to rush out.

"Come back!" Chen Liu yelled and stopped his son: "We haven't figured out the matter yet, so don't be reckless."

"But that was the murderer of my uncle!" Chen Zhuang argued, but he stopped obediently.

"Your sister is still young, so she may not necessarily recognize the right person. Please wait for me to investigate carefully before making a long-term decision." Chen Liu planned to stabilize his impulsive son first, lest he get into trouble, causing his family to be displaced again, and even affecting his family. The villagers of Yushan Village have finally achieved a stable life.

"I'll go with you." Chen Zhuang demanded.

"You watch your sister at home, and I'll go by myself." Chen Liu refused.

When Chen Zhuang thought that there might be pirates on the dock, his sister was weak and at home alone and really needed his own protection, so he stopped forcing it.

"You two stay at home and wait for me. Don't do anything without permission before I come back." Chen Liu warned again: "If the pirates really come to attack here, Chen Zhuang, take your sister and run away to Chenjiazhuang. When we get there, It’s safe there.”

"Dad!" Chen Qin didn't know what to say.

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister." Although Chen Zhuang was impulsive, he was very responsible.
