Chapter 241 (Second update)
Chen Laiqing thought that Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang would go to He's house in Shuanghe Village to hold a banquet tomorrow morning.

That's a big deal, and it can only be done well if you have a good rest.

If something goes wrong, not only will their reputation be bad, but if no one asks them not to speak up, it will be a waste of work.

Chen Laiqing then said, "Luo Cheng, let me ask Chun Baoniang. Even though you and Jiaoniang are busy, it's not a big deal, just leave it alone."

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Laiqing, "I'm sorry, Uncle Chen."

Chen Laiqing smiled heartily, "Why is it troublesome or not? After all, they are still relatives. You and Chunbao are relatives, and you and I were originally relatives. From this point of view, Chunbao and I are also relatives."

Talking and discussing, the two walked to the tavern unconsciously.

Luo Cheng said, "Uncle Chen, don't tell Jiaoniang about Chunbao."

Chen Laiqing smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, I will handle this matter quietly."

Luo Cheng was worried, and said, "If Uncle Chen encounters a problem, you must tell me. Uncle Six is ​​an unreasonable person. When dealing with him, he won't listen to reason. You have to use some ideas." Shock him."

"I know, don't worry." Chen Laiqing patted Luo Cheng's shoulder and smiled.

Luo Cheng opened the courtyard door.

Chen Laiqing went to sleep in the cabin on the second floor.

Luo Cheng entered his and Li Jiaoniang's room.

"Where have you been?" On the bed, Li Jiaoniang yawned and asked, "Why have you been gone for so long, with Uncle Chen?"

Luo Chengxin said, does Li Jiaoniang belong to a fox?

She was so smart that no sound could hide from her.

"Well, he is thoughtful, so I walked outside with him." Luo Cheng lied, "Lonely middle-aged man, his daughter got married, and his daughter-in-law disappeared. I lamented life. I talked nonsense with him for a while. Small talk."

"Uncle Chen thinks so?" Li Jiaoniang was a little surprised, "Isn't he always very cheerful?"

"That's the surface. It doesn't make us worry. You are always alone when you go in and out. You will feel lonely to some extent."

"Okay, maybe." Li Jiaoniang said.

But she was thinking in her heart, find an opportunity to be a matchmaker for Chen Laiqing and find a wife.

Luo Cheng didn't pick up the tent to go to bed, but rummaged through the small cabinet.

Li Jiaoniang blinked and sat up, "What are you looking for? The lamp is not burning, can you see it?"

"Light up the lamp, it's too bright and it will dazzle your eyes." Luo Cheng rummaged through it, "I found it... I'm sweaty after walking, and I'll take a shower before going back to sleep."

Holding the clothes he found, he went out again.

Li Jiaoniang laughed, she wouldn't sleep next to him, so what?

After Luo Cheng came back, Li Jiaoniang felt relieved, sleepiness struck again, she rolled to the innermost side of the bed and fell asleep.

After taking a shower and returning, Luo Cheng found that Li Jiaoniang had fallen asleep.

He gently reached out and pulled her arm over.

Li Jiaoniang was in a deep sleep and didn't respond.

Luo Cheng quietly hooked the corner of his lower lip.

He had to get up early tomorrow, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

The next day when the rooster crowed for the first time, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng got up.

When Luo Cheng went to harness the carriage, Li Jiaoniang wrote a note and put it on the table in the main room. It was a message for Chen Laiqing.

She briefly wrote down the arrangements for some things in the tavern.

Luo Cheng gently opened the backyard door, and was about to drive the carriage away when Chen Laiqing came.

"Luo Cheng, it's early."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, why did you get up so early?"

Chen Laiqing was going to Yushan Village, which was about ten miles away from here. He had to walk to the intersection of the market and wait for the mule cart that went to Yushan Village to sell tofu and lamp oil. He wanted to hitch a ride there.

However, he didn't tell the truth to Li Jiaoniang, he just smiled and said, "I can't sleep, I'm used to getting up early, I go for a stroll on the street, take a walk around and come back to make herbal tea."

"Please ask Uncle Chen to watch over the tavern, let's go first." Li Jiaoniang smiled and waved.

"Just don't worry about it." Chen Laiqing said with a smile.

As soon as Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang left, Chen Laiqing washed up in a hurry, took some change that he had saved in the past few days in his hand, carefully locked the windows and doors, and walked back to the intersection of the village.

In August, the moon is particularly bright at night.

Although there are still several days before the fifteenth day, the moon in the second half of the night is still much brighter than usual.

The main street of the market is clearly illuminated.

It was still early, and there were only occasional early risers walking on the street.

Picking up the salesman's burden, he was going to sell in the village.

When it is not a market day, people will sell goods in the village.

When Chen Laiqing arrived at the crossroads back to the village, the shopkeeper of the tofu shop in the market really came driving a mule cart from the opposite road.

Chen Laiqing shouted, "Shopkeeper Luo, can you take a ride in a mule cart?"

There are not many families who can afford mule carts. When everyone travels and sees a car, they will beg for a ride.

Those who have cars will receive some tips.

"I'm going to Jinshan Village, where are you going?" Shopkeeper Luo asked.

From here to Jinshan Village, you have to pass through two villages. The fare to the nearest village is cheaper, and the farthest Jinshan Village is more expensive.

Two or three miles further on from Jinshan Village is Yushan Village.

It is also possible to only go to Jinshan Village.

Chen Laiqing replied, "I'm going to Jinshan Village, how much is it?"

"One village has four wen, and we have to go to three villages, twelve wen." Shopkeeper Luo said.

"Good." Chen Laiqing paid the money and climbed into the mule cart.

"Yo yo——" Shopkeeper Luo flicked his whip, and drove the mule cart forward.

Chen Laiqing thought in his heart, if he sat in the mule cart, he would receive twelve cash for one person, and for a few more people, it would be a hundred cash.

If he had a mule cart, why not run this business?

Only pull people?
There are many people who go from the village to the village and from the village to the village every day.

However, he just thought about it, he didn't have that much money to buy a mule cart.

Ten miles away, Chen Laiqing got up early, and the mule cart swayed, and he fell asleep.

When I woke up, the mule cart had entered Jinshan Village, and someone was calling for tofu.

Chen Laiqing got out of the car, thanked him, turned a fork, and walked towards Yushan Village.

He inquired, and soon found the wooden house where Mrs. Zhong lived.

At this moment, the genius is dim.

Zhong Shi and Chun Ya just opened the door.

Seeing Chen Laiqing coming early in the morning, the two of them were shocked.

"Isn't this... the second brother of the Chen family? What's the matter?" Zhong asked in surprise.

Chen Laiqing was in a hurry, so he didn't make any detours, and asked, "Yes, there is something wrong, sister of the Zhong family, where is Chunbao?"

He purposely asked Chun Bao, in order to find out what Zhong Shi said, to see if Zhong knew anything about Chun Bao.

If Mrs. Zhong acquiesced that Chunbao followed Luo Fucai, he would not be able to take care of Chunbao's affairs.

It is not easy for outsiders to intervene in how people's own parents manage their children.

If not, he can help.

If Zhong doesn't know, then Luo Fucai is lying to the child.

"Chunbao? His father went to see his aunt." Zhong smiled, "His aunt has been thinking about him for a long time, so let's go and play for a few days."

Although they are separated from Luo Fucai, they are no longer a couple, but their son is still a shared son.

She is raising her son, Luo Fucai has the right to see her son, and she can't stop Luo Fucai's relatives from wanting to see Chunbao.

Luo Fucai said that Chunbao's aunt was dying, and the old man was thinking about Chunbao every day, so she couldn't stop Chunbao from seeing her.

"His father took him to his aunt's house?" Chen Laiqing was startled, obviously living with another woman.

Luo Fucai has only been separated for a few days, and now he has fallen in love with another woman. Judging by the intimacy of their conversation, it doesn't look like they just met each other.

Did Zhong know that Luo Fucai married another wife?

Chen Laiqing couldn't point it out clearly, he didn't tell the truth.

"That's right, second brother of the Chen family, why did you suddenly find Chunbao? What's the matter?" Zhong asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Chen Laiqing said awkwardly, "A person who often goes to the tavern to drink tea is a teacher. He is recruiting students, and I go to work in the village. When I come here, I think of Chunbao, so I come to ask about it." .See if Chunbao wants to go to school. This kid is not too young."

Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you, Chen's second brother, for caring about Chunbao. Chunbao's school has been found, and it's in the village. When his father brings him back, he will go to school."

"That's how it is..." Chen Laiqing smiled, "That's kind." He waved his hand, "Go ahead, I have something else to do, so go ahead and do it first."

"The house is dilapidated, so I won't invite the Chen family's second brother to drink tea." Zhong said with a smile.

These are all polite words.

She is a single woman, how can she invite a foreigner into the house?
Chen Laiqing would not really come in, so he walked back with his hands behind his back.

While walking, he was thinking about Zhong's words.

It seems that Luo Fucai lied to the Zhong family.

It's no wonder that Chunbao was silent, because he didn't want to give Chunbao to Zhong when he went to see his aunt.
