Chapter 82: Chased Out 1

Where could they go? Madam Qian couldn’t think of anywhere.

“Don’t worry, Third Brother will lend us money. When the time comes, we can build a house and farm some land.”

Chen Hu knew that Madam Qian was worried. He comforted her gently.

“When the farmers are busy next year, I can work for the villagers. When they’re not busy, we can go to town and find work. As long as we have a place to live, our family won’t starve.”

Chen Hu became more and more determined. He was not afraid of hardship. He was willing to do any dirty work that others were unwilling to do, so he would definitely be able to survive.

He was not afraid of hardship. He was only afraid that no one would understand his hardship and be slighted.

As long as the people he cared about understood him, he was not afraid of anything. Chen Hu held Madam Qian’s hand and said, “Dear, believe me.”

Madam Qian held Chen Hu’s hand back. She said softly, “I believe you. I’ll follow you for the rest of my life. I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

“Okay.”

Chen Hu only replied with one word.

Madam Qian leaned against Chen Hu, and the two of them huddled close together.

The next morning, there was a commotion outside.

Chen Hu got up and realized that it was Mother Chen who had asked Madam Yang and Madam Wu to move all the food in the kitchen to the main room.

Mother Chen glared fiercely at Chen Hu.

Chen Hu’s cold expression as he held the stick frightened Mother Chen. She wanted to curse him but swallowed her words.

Chen Long and Chen Qiang were also holding clubs, but in the end, they did not dare to make a move.

Chen Hu did not say anything and went straight to the chicken pen to kill the chickens.

Seeing that he wasn’t making a fuss, Mother Chen thought that she had suppressed him.

When she heard the rooster crow, Mother Chen immediately reacted. She immediately slapped her thigh and howled, “Damn it, God, why didn’t you kill him with lightning?”

Mother Chen howled and ran to the chicken coop. Her anger made her lose her rationality and curse, “You bastard, do you want to die?”

Chen Hu looked at Mother Chen coldly. He did not even take out a knife. He took a bat and hit the chicken’s head to smash it. This ruthless method frightened Mother Chen so much that she stopped cursing.

Chen Long, who had followed them, was also shocked.

Chen Hu had smashed the chicken head.

Chen Hu killed two chickens and carried them to the kitchen without a word. He was still holding the bloody cudgel, and no one dared to stop him.

He went to stew the chicken.

When the fragrance of the chicken stew wafted, Mother Chen’s father’s expression was extremely ugly.

Chen Long and Chen Qiang’s children were arguing about eating chicken. As expected, they were beaten up.

After the chicken was stewed, Chen Hu placed it in a large pot and returned to the room to eat with his family.

Even though the food was moved to the main room, Chen Hu kicked open the door and went to get rice to cook. He didn’t even put any corn flour in the rice. Mother Chen’s heart ached so much that she felt dizzy.

Chen Hu’s family ate rice, chicken soup and chicken meat. The food that the rest of the family was eating was no longer fragrant in comparison.

The atmosphere at the dining table was tense. They couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Chen Qiang frowned and said, “Father, Mother, we can’t let Third Brother continue like this. If this continues, it won’t be long before they finish eating everything we have.”

When Chen Hu went crazy, he didn’t care about anything else. He ate and drank until there was nothing left. If this continued, they would suffer a loss. Their family didn’t split up, and Chen Hu ate whatever he wanted. They could die from anger just from thinking about the situation

Chen Long also gritted his teeth and said, “I think he doesn’t care about us anymore. If this continues, how will we live? If he doesn’t work, what’s the use of living!”

Chen Long was even angrier than Chen Qiang. His back was swollen from the beating yesterday and it was very painful. He had not eaten anything good, but Chen Hu had killed chickens and eaten meat. Just thinking about it made Chen Long very angry.

Father Chen was also angry. He slapped his chopsticks and stood up. “I don’t believe that he really dares to disobey me. I’ll go and ask him. If he still doesn’t repent, don’t blame me for ruthlessly chasing his family out.”

Father Chen walked out. Chen Qiang and Chen Long also got up and followed.

Arriving at the courtyard, Father Chen shouted at the house where Chen Hu and his family lived, “Third Brother, come out.”

Chen Hu heard the voice and Madam Qian looked at him worriedly.

Chen Hu nodded at her and took his club out.

He looked coldly at Father Chen and Mother Chen without saying anything.

Father Chen’s expression was cold. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll give you a chance. If you admit your mistake now, we can pretend that nothing happened.”

“And then, will it still be like before? Will our family work like cattle and horses for the entire family? Will our family still do the toughest and most tiring work?”

Chen Hu asked coldly.

Although he was disabled and not tall, the work he did was never less than Chen Long and Chen Qiang. The things he picked would not be lighter than theirs’, but Chen Long and Chen Qiang could eat their fill while his family could not.

He didn’t want to live the way he had before. His parents had never taken his efforts seriously. They had never treated him like a son. Therefore, he didn’t want to be their son anymore.

Chen Hu’s question undoubtedly angered Father Chen. He snorted coldly. “I think you’re too stubborn. In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless and chasing your family out like how the Su family removed Su Sanlang from the family tree.”

“Heh, since I refuse to obey, this has to be my fate, right?”

Chen Hu sneered and looked at Father Chen and Mother Chen sarcastically.

Father Chen also snorted. “I want to see if you can be the second Su Sanlang. If you’re capable, you can also go into the mountains to fight tigers. If you sell the tigers, you can buy land and build houses. If you don’t have the ability, you’ll end up dead in a ditch.”

Back then, Su Sanlang had fought a tiger. Although he was blinded, many people were still very tempted. There were even families from other villages who had gone hunting tigers. In the end, two of them were bitten to death by the tiger.

After that, everyone lost interest and realized that Su Sanlang was extremely lucky to be able to fight back against the tiger.

Chen Hu’s body was not as strong as Su Sanlang’s, and he was a cripple. Madam Qian also had a crippled hand, and the two useless girls could not help. They would probably faint from fear when they saw the tiger. Not to mention going to fight the tiger, they would be more likely to die.

If he didn’t have that ability and still wanted to turn the world upside down, he should taste the consequences of his actions.

Father Chen looked at Chen Hu coldly, waiting for him to lower his head and admit his mistake.

Chen Hu smiled sarcastically. “In any case, it won’t end well. I might as well have a good time.”

With that, Chen Hu turned around and returned to the house.

Father and Mother Chen gritted their teeth in anger.

Chen Long and Chen Qiang frowned and looked at their parents.

Father Chen said, “I think he’s possessed. Give him another night to consider. If he still doesn’t repent tomorrow, go invite the village chief and officer.”

Father Chen had already spoken. No matter how angry Chen Long was, he could only endure it.

They thought that after one night, Chen Hu should know how powerful he was and would admit his mistake. But when he woke up the next day, not only did Chen Hu not admit his mistake, he even went to kill two more chickens. This time, Father Chen was completely enraged.
