Chapter 11 - 11 10 Old Affairs of the Chens

?Chapter 11: Chapter 10 Old Affairs of the Chens Chapter 11: Chapter 10 Old Affairs of the Chens After hearing the boy speak about what he knew of the three brothers Chen Ming, and recalling what Chen Ming had said in the evening, along with his supplement from his own imagination, Chen Afu knew something of the Chen family’s past affairs.

The father of the three Chen siblings disliked toiling in the fields because it didn’t earn them much money, so he followed a distant relative to do business. He made some money over ten years and gradually added over twenty acres of land to their property. He intended to retire after one last business trip, but unfortunately, he fell off a cliff and died on that journey. At that time, the eldest, Chen Ye was nine years old, the second child, Chen Ming was seven years old, and the youngest, Chen Shi was five years old.

Only women and children were left at home. Chen Ming’s uncle and aunt had the idea of occupying their property. They moved to Chen Ye’s home, intending to take over his fields, and drove the widow to remarry.

In the eyes of others, the uncle supposedly wants to help manage the family affairs because of the possible remarriage of the widow and the young age of the nephews. However, the widow vowed not to remarry, and the children, intelligent as they are, didn’t want outsiders to intervene in their affairs, which is understandable too.

Although Chen Ye’s uncle and aunt were strong and able, Chen Ye’s home had only a widowed mother and orphaned child. The vast majority of the villagers believed that the final winner would be Chen Ye’s uncle and aunt.

Chen Ye was a thoughtful teenager, and Mrs. Chen was not a weak woman; of course they would not let their property be taken away by others. After discussion between the two, they secretly sold four acres of land and used the twenty taels of silver they earned to send generous gifts to Junior Officer Gao’s family and the more reputable members of their clan, asking them for help.
