Member Shen was not really interested in Tian Meng and wanted to use him, but because of Chen Changan.

Officer Shen felt that if he directly curry favor with Chen Changan, Chen Changan might not accept it or appreciate it, but the same could not be said for the people around Chen Changan.

Especially for relatives like the Tian family, who can get such help from Chen Changan, it means that the relationship must be good. Officer Shen can't let Chen Changan owe him a favor directly, and can't he let the people around Chen Changan owe a favor?

There are debts and repayments, and there is no friendship between them.

You can also get closer, but if you get closer, can you get closer to the water, the tower, and the moon first?

Meng Tan patted Chen Changsheng on the shoulder and pointed outside Member Shen.

[Learn a little bit. ]

Chen Changsheng:? ? ?

What to study?

The eldest brother and my mother seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand. When he was doing business, he thought his brain was pretty good.

In just a short time, Yuan Shen and Tian Dashan became brothers. "Brother Tian, ​​don't bother me. I'll arrange for someone to take you back. I just helped you a little. Look at you. You said all the good things to me. I I’m so embarrassed, that’s it, we are brothers.”

Tian Dashan looked excited, "Brother Shen, that's really troublesome. I'll send you some mountain goods when the time comes. The farmers don't have anything good to give you."

"Farm food? Mountain food is good. It's a good thing. You don't know how nourishing it is. I want to eat it but I can't."

Meng Tan:......

How could his business be so big? He is good at talking, has a good brain, and can do things well.

Fortunately, the two of them were still together, and before it got dark, Yuan Shen arranged for two donkey carts. Donkeys could run faster than oxen, and there were no horses to beat them.

To avoid Meng Tan and the others being asked questions about what they do and what they are like when they go back, Meng Tan wants to give them a thumbs up.

It wasn't until Meng Tan and the others drove away in the car that Member Shen stopped smiling and looked at Shen Jinzhu, "I think the Tian family is also pretty good. At least they are understanding. Your future sister-in-law is easy to get along with. I'll pull her out again." Pull over the Tian family, otherwise there will always be someone in the family who wants to take advantage, and it will not be easy for you to marry him."

"Dad!" Shen Jinzhu blushed, "We haven't reached that point yet."

"I'm so afraid. He, Chen Changan, owes me a big favor. This can be a big deal. Don't worry, dad will definitely let you get what you want."

Shen Wancai waved his hand, his face full of confidence.

"Dad, Chen Xiucai is not a fool. Look at his imposing manner in court today. He has lured the Wang family into a trap little by little. He is not a soft persimmon. Don't mess around and keep using calculations. He is afraid It’s because you look down on me.”

Shen Jinzhu was helpless and stared at her father, "I heard that his second brother, the one who married the Tian family, was working as a backer in the streets. If you are willing, you might as well help him out at a critical moment. It’s done.”

Scholars are most concerned about face, and if you help someone, you will be punished.

"Sure, dad listens to you." Shen Wancai smiled.

Let’s go back to Meng Tan.

At this moment, she was asking Chen Changan.

[Since you can see that Officer Shen is plotting against you, why don't you stop it? Dalang, you are a smart man. ]

There were two donkey carts, one for Tian's family and one for Meng Tan's family.

"It's not a bad thing, mother, a big ship can move with more than just the helmsman."

"I don't consider myself to be a gentleman, so I will naturally do the scheming. In three years, I will take the Jinle Township Examination."

Jinle is the provincial capital of Fuling County.

Meng Tan was surprised. After all, looking at Chen Changan's usual behavior, she thought Chen Changan would act like a gentleman.

"The expenses along the way are at least ten taels, not to mention that I have to become a disciple. I also need to spend pens, inks, paper and inkstones. If I don't have fifty taels of these, I can't get them."

Meng Tan felt that Chen Changan was being conservative.

Chen Changan said seriously, "The clan has supported us for many years. It's enough. Most of the clan members are poor. The Shen family has all the things I lack. So, what about accepting a favor?"

"The Shen family also needs a noble identity and a backer. If they directly join the noble family, they may not think highly of them. Then a scholar like me who comes from a family like me is worth investing in. If I become a If they become Jinshi, they will also follow suit. We can benefit from each other, so why not?" Meng Tan opened his mouth and wanted to say, isn't this selling himself out?

"Mom, do you think I'm too calculating?"

Meng Tan shook his head.

[I just didn’t expect you to be so transparent. How do you grow your brain when you are in your early twenties? How do you understand things better than me, a person who has lived for decades? ]

Moreover, he is able to lower his head, keep his face low, is good at scheming, and can even pull people into a trap with a smile.

He is really good material to be a traitor.

Meng Tan trembled.

[Don’t be a treacherous minister in the future, Dalang, my mother is afraid. ]

Chen Changan was a little helpless, "Mom, I don't know how."

His long-cherished wish is to strengthen the family and lead the Chen family to climb up, at least to have the ability to withstand certain risks.

The current Chen family is still too weak.

[It’s okay if you don’t. ]

Meng Tan sighed, turned around, and saw Chen Changsheng looking at her and Chen Changan in confusion.

"Mom, am I your biological child?"

Why can he understand every word of these words, but he doesn’t understand them all together?

I only understand one thing: the eldest brother wants money from the Shen family, and the Shen family wants to follow the eldest brother when he becomes an official and enjoy the world.

The question is, how can the Shen family be sure that their eldest brother will pass the exam?

Wouldn’t it be a waste of money if you fail the exam?

Meng Tan was speechless.

[You should suspect that your eldest brother is not your biological child, and your mother and I are both out of our minds. ]

Chen Changan covered his face.

When we arrived at Tian's house, it was already dark. Tian Yunxiang, sister and brother were sitting at the door. When the three dark figures stood up, Meng Tan was startled.

Liu Cuihua and Tian Xiutao cried together, "Son, there is no need to get married. From now on, my mother will support you. If you don't get married again..."

"Mom, what's going on?"

"I have to thank your brother-in-law's family for this..."

The Tian family generously lit the oil lamp and explained the whole story in detail to the third sister and brother who stayed at home.

The whole family emphatically thanked the Chen family again.

It wasn't until late at night that the two families made do with each other and fell asleep.

The next day, Tian Yunxiang, who had stayed at her parents' house for several days, finally returned to Chen's house.

Before leaving, Liu Cuihua took Tian Yunxiang's hand and whispered: "I see that my uncle is capable, and your uncle is even more capable. It's not a loss for you to marry into the Chen family. Men, sometimes they just mess around, and you don't deserve it." If you have a child, you can still survive by being patient."

"And this time, I think he has really changed. No matter how bad things are, your mother-in-law is still good. Ah Xiang, you have to live a good life."

"I know mother."

Tian Yunxiang nodded and stroked her less obvious belly. She understood that her husband's family had helped her mother's family too much, so she was naturally a head lower than her husband's family. If she was wronged again, her mother's family would not be able to stand out.

But she is not afraid. As long as she has this child, she doesn't care what Chen Changsheng does. She only needs to take good care of the child. The child is her hope.
