“No, the person who sent us back yesterday was not a relative of Little Juan’s family.” Chen Ping answered his big brother’s question seriously and did not choose to avoid it.
“Then there really is such a thing. What exactly happened?” Chen Tao’s interest was piqued as he asked.
“It’s like this. “Yesterday, Meng’er and I went to the city to sell a ginseng that Meng’er picked by accident at the back of the mountain. The person who sent us back yesterday was the owner of the pharmacy. He liked Meng’er quite a lot, so he sent a small cart back for us.” Speaking of this… Chen Ping paused for a moment before continuing, “However, this Elder Liu, who was also the one who sent us back yesterday, wants to acknowledge Meng’er as his god-granddaughter. I also agreed to it. He went back to prepare the gift.”
Chen Tao frowned when he heard his brother’s words. He lowered his head and glanced at Chen Meng’er, “Little Ping, you’ve done this too rashly. You’re not familiar with Elder Liu and you know him well. How can you rashly agree to let Meng’er acknowledge him as her god-grandfather?”!!
“Big Brother, I know what you’re worried about. However, Elder Liu is really a good person. Moreover, there’s nothing in our family that Elder Liu can covet.” Chen Ping had a good impression of Elder Liu.
Seeing that his younger brother was so insistent, Chen Tao didn’t say anything more. After all, his younger brother already had a family.
In the end, Chen Meng’er didn’t receive the snacks that her first aunt brought. Before leaving, Chen Meng’er’s uncle, Chen Tao, looked very embarrassed. He shouted that he wanted to go in and call Chen Meng’er’s first aunt, Zhao Yanhong, out. But he was stopped by Chen Ping.
The father and daughter pair looked down on Zhao Yanhong’s methods, but they could not let the husband and wife fight over such a small matter. Therefore, Chen Meng’er and Chen Ping left Chen Tao’s house as if they were escaping.
On the way back, Chen Ping turned his head and looked at his daughter, Chen Meng’er. He wanted to say something but hesitated several times.
Chen Meng’er was puzzled. What was wrong with her father today? He kept looking at her with a conflicted expression. He always looked like he wanted to say something, but he was conflicted and kept his mouth shut. This made Chen Meng’er also conflicted, in the end, she could not hold it in and asked, “Father, do you have something to tell me?” “Yes.” When Chen Ping heard his daughter, Chen Meng’er, ask him, his heart suddenly became firm. “Father wants to tell you something, but your mother’s meaning is not to tell you now, saying that you are still young.”
When Chen Meng’er heard her father’s words, a thought emerged in her heart. Could it be that her father wanted to tell her about her background? “Father, tell me.” Chen Meng’er’s expression suddenly became serious. She started to think about what kind of expression she should show and what kind of words she should say when she heard her father tell her about her past.
“It’s like this. This ginseng sold for such a large sum of money. Your mother and I discussed it last night and said that your mother and I will take out 100,000 yuan from this sum of money. We are prepared to save the remaining 400,000 yuan for you as a dowry. Originally, your mother said that you were still young and that she would tell you about this when you were older. However, I know that my Meng’er is not an ordinary child, so I decided to tell you about this matter.”
Chen Meng’er had never expected that her father, Chen Ping, would actually want to talk about this after hesitating for a long time. She was even worried and hesitated for a long time.
“About this matter. “Dad, the money for selling the ginseng belongs to our family. Don’t even mention saving any dowry for me. I still need this dowry for a long time. When the time comes, this little bit of money might not be enough. Also, Dad, I will earn a lot of money in the future. I will let you, mom, and my brothers live a good life,” Chen Meng’er said, she nodded her head heavily and looked extremely serious.
Chen Meng’er didn’t know that her serious and cute look made Chen Ping’s heart soft and touched. “Then I will wait for you to earn a lot of money to support mom and me. As for your two brothers, don’t worry about them..”
