So now, Chen Anbang has no other choice.
Chen Xiaobei, Chen Xiaobei. You are really good at it! After sighing with emotion, Chen Anbang felt itchy with hatred when he looked at Chen Ermao and others.
In his opinion, what Chen Ermao stole was Chen Anbang's property, so he must be severely punished. He coughed and spoke slowly: "Chen Ermao, you heard it too. Chen Xiaobei is going easy on you, and the robbery on the road can be avoided, but do you admit to the theft?"
"recognize."
"recognize."
Chen Ermao and others hurriedly expressed their stance.
Chen Anbang nodded and looked at Chen Ermao and his family, "You all should get up too."
"As I said just now, bad behavior will be severely punished."
"In the hope that you will repent, I will keep your clan name for the time being, but you will have to send it to the county government tomorrow. By the way, Xiaobei, you will follow me tomorrow and explain this situation clearly to the county boss."
Chen Anbang is also very smart. Instead of following family rules and clan regulations, they handed the three of them over to the county magistrate, and asked Chen Xiaobei to follow them.
This kicked the ball to Chen Xiaobei's feet again.
Chen Xiaobei also secretly lamented that Chen Anbang is really an old fox. He handles things flawlessly and puts the offending things on himself. This is forcing himself to give in.
No, I have no way out.
Chen Ermao is a man who never keeps his word, so if he lets Chen Ermao go today, he will still attack Cui Hongyu tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he agreed quickly.
Then let the county master decide Chen Ermao's fate tomorrow.
When Chen Anbang saw Chen Xiaobei's promise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Chen Ping, tie his three bastards to a big locust tree and send them to the county government early tomorrow morning."
Watching the crowd gradually disperse, Cui Hongyu tentatively asked Chen Xiaobei, "Why don't you go talk to the head of the village and let the three of them go?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "If you let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles."
At this time, the second aunt Xiumei also came over and said, "Hongyu, don't be afraid. I will go to the county government with you tomorrow. No matter what, we have to let these bastards shed their skin."
At this time, Chen Anbang's home.
Chen Ermao's mother, Mrs. Jia, came again, holding Chen Anbang's hand, crying and crying, "Second uncle, you can't just die without saving me. How about taking Ermao to the county government?"
Chen Anbang sighed, "I don't want to either, but you also saw it tonight, and Chen Xiaobei won't let go. I don't care."
"Second uncle, what kind of friendship does Chen Xiaobei have with you? What kind of friendship do you have with my father? Can it be the same? You have to show your dignity."
While Jia was talking, she quietly took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and made a swishing sound.
Chen Anbang knew that there were copper plates inside, so there must be dozens of them.
"Hey, I understand how eager you are to protect your son."
"Let's go back and prepare some money for him, get him two clothes, and send him away overnight. Let them avoid the limelight before coming back."
The next day, when the sky got slightly brighter, a shocking news spread.
Chen Ermao and three others took advantage of the guard to take a nap, broke free from the rope and ran away without a trace.
After hearing the news, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew that Chen Ermao's escape was definitely not because the guard was napping, but one thing was certain, Chen Ermao escaped this time. I will definitely not dare to come back in a short time.
Therefore, I have to speed up the pace of making money and become stronger as soon as possible, because next time Chen Ermao comes back, the revenge on him will be even more intense.
Chen Xiaobei walked outside the village and went to the wasteland behind to look at the green leafy vegetables he had planted. Clusters of small sprouts had sprouted on the ground. After all, the weather was hot, so the germination speed was quite fast.
However, how can we do it just by growing such a few vegetables?
I still have to find a way to do something else.
While he was thinking wildly, someone next to him said hello, "Xiaobei, you got up so early."
Looking up, it was the beginning of winter, and he was walking towards the river carrying the fishing rod and fishing basket.
"Ah, Brother Lidong, you are going fishing again so early!"
Chen Lidong's expression became a little helpless, "Oh, those two fish last night were taken away by some god damned person who took advantage of the chaos. Let's try our luck this morning."
Watching Chen Lidong walk away, what he said to himself last night came to Chen Xiaobei's mind again. A dead fish more than a foot long can be exchanged for a copper coin, and if it is alive, it can be doubled.
But fishing is too slow.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but think of the sharp weapon he used to catch fish when he was in his hometown in the countryside.
That is the umbrella net.
The net is made into the shape of an inverted umbrella, with several holes dug on the side and fish bait placed inside.
Fish that smell the smell will get in through several openings, but once they get in, it's not that easy to get out.
Yes, use this method.
Chen Xiaobei became excited when he thought of this.
Chen Xiaobei ran home, gave Cui Hongyu and Qiaoer some instructions, took out dozens of copper coins and ran to the county seat. While thinking about it, he thought that running back and forth on his feet was really tiring. After he made a lot of money, he would One thing to do was to buy a carriage.
Chen Xiaobei went to the county town to inquire about it, and first went to buy an umbrella.
There is no ready-made umbrella net, so you have to make it yourself, so using an umbrella frame is quite suitable.
After asking around all the way, there was a shop selling umbrellas in front of them. Just as Chen Xiaobei was about to enter, several women came out of it talking and laughing. The leader was Liu Rumei.
Seeing Liu Rumei again, Chen Xiaobei no longer had the first panic and quickly stepped aside.
But she never expected that Liu Rumei had a super memory, and she had already remembered this poor boy whom she had only met twice.
"Hey, it's you! What are you doing here?"
"I've met Miss Liu, I'm here to buy an umbrella." Chen Xiaobei seemed very calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
Xiao Qing next to her looked at Chen Xiaobei and tugged on Liu Rumei's skirt, "Miss, let's go."
From Xiaoqing's eyes, Chen Xiaobei saw a trace of contempt. Then again, what reason did people have not to despise him?
Liu Rumei smiled and said, "You are a grown man, do you know how to pick an umbrella? How about I help you pick one!"
I really didn’t expect that Miss Liu was such an enthusiastic person.
Chen Xiaobei waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I don't dare to trouble Miss Liu."
However, Liu Rumei turned around and walked into the store, "Shopkeeper, bring out some umbrellas and let me take a look."
Seeing Liu Rumei being so approachable, Chen Xiaobei sighed secretly, he is such a good person, and a good person will have a safe life.
Having said that, he was really not good at picking out umbrellas, and he didn't know what the production level of umbrellas in this era was.
Liu Rumei picked up an umbrella and held it in front of him, "What do you think of this?"
"Okay, okay, this is just right, thank you Miss Liu."
Liu Rumei smiled, turned around and left.
Seeing that she had walked a long way, Chen Xiaobei came back to his senses and hurriedly asked the store, "How do you sell this umbrella?"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Just give me three copper coins. You are really lucky today. You met Miss Liu, a kindhearted person."
