Chapter 122: Chen Li’s Land
The Chen family wanted to target this land after Chen Xin’s accident and the Chen family’s desolation.
Although this land was not big, it was still very valuable at the moment. Moreover, they wanted to take back Chen Li’s land and transfer it to their future daughter-in-law. This way, not only could they protect the land under their son’s name, but they could also shut the in-laws up. Liu Wei had thought of such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.
“Li Li, I always knew that you were a kind-hearted child. You definitely can’t bear to see your brother’s marriage fall into ruins, right?” After Chen Sheng put down the firewood on his back, he returned to his room and sat with the others.
Yun Yang’s instincts told him that something might happen, so he did not continue to play with the swings in the Chen family’s courtyard. It was rare for him to change his playful character and sit quietly beside Yun Xi.
“Li Li, I know that I have let you down for so many years. However, your younger brother shares the same bloodline as you. How could you bear to see him unmarried for the rest of his life and end the bloodline of our Chen Family?”
Chen Sheng looked at Chen Li with a face full of sincerity and guilt. He even managed to squeeze out a few tears. However, these were probably fake tears!
After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he kept glancing at Liu Wei from the corner of his eyes, hoping that she could finish his sentence.
“Yes, Li Li, you don’t want our old Chen family to have no descendants either. Now the girl’s father has relented, saying that as long as our family gives them a piece of land under the girl’s name, it will be fine.”
As Liu Wei spoke, she looked at Chen Li’s expression, completely oblivious to Yun Xi’s cold eyes as she sat beside Chen Li. Seeing that Chen Li’s expression did not change, she continued to speak.
“You also know that our Chen Family only has a small amount of land. We are still depending on this piece of land to support our old age. As for your brother’s piece of land, he still has to support his family in the future. He doesn’t have any extra land to be transferred to his future wife.”
“Then what do you mean?” No matter how stupid Chen Li was, she understood what was happening in front of her. It turned out that her stepmother had her intentions set on the piece of land under her name.
“Li Li, everyone says that once a daughter is married off, she will never come back. I remember that there is an empty piece of land under your name. Why don’t you make a little sacrifice for your brother’s marriage and give this piece of land to your brother?”
Liu Wei finally said what she wanted to say all along.
Although Chen Li was a little ignorant, she was not completely a fool.
“This piece of land is also very important to our family. I also have my own children and husband who need money. If I don’t have this piece of land, I won’t have any other sources of income.”
Chen Sheng’s family had a lot of lands that could be farmed on the plains. However, toward Yun Xi’s house, the land would be a hilly terrain. There was not much land that could be farmed on to begin with.
Therefore, after Chen Li married into this village, the village chief heard that she still had a piece of land elsewhere and did not allocate any land for her in the village.
“Li Li, doesn’t your husband still have a large piece of land under his name? Moreover, he is also working as an accountant in your village. I believe that you are not lacking in money.”
Liu Wei looked very aggrieved again as she looked at Chen Sheng with tears in her eyes. Indeed, it was her best act to get what she wanted.
“Yes, you can’t just watch our Chen Family die! Although I didn’t raise you, I’m still your biological father. You have the blood of our Chen family in you. You should be considerate.”
Chen Sheng could tell from Chen Li’s words that she was unwilling to give up this piece of land, and his tone was a little angry.
However, this couple was really a match made in heaven. One played the good cop, the other played the bad cop. The two of them used the matter of family and descendants to guilt trip Chen Li.
“I...” Chen Li was still unwilling in her heart, but she could not bring herself to say anything too heartless.
“My mother will not give this land to an uncle whom I have never met before.” Yun Xi stood in front of Chen Li and said this to Chen Sheng.
“Child, how can you interfere in the conversation between us adults!” Chen Sheng was initially intimidated by this girl’s aura, but he then realized that she was just a little girl.
He quickly changed his voice and berated Yun Xi loudly.
