Chapter 73: The Chen Family's Past

When the topic was opened, I couldn't stop it.

Under the narration of the short and fat old ghost, Chen Hao learned about the rise and fall of the Chen family decades ago.

The Chen family was indeed a small landlord who had been accumulated by generations. When it came to Chen Hao's generation, he had accumulated strength and stood out from the hard-working public and became the famous Mr. Chen.

With surplus food and no worries about food and drinking, the family naturally considers the great cause of inheritance. Mr. Chen does not disappoint the expectations of his ancestors. He married a wife and a concubine, gave birth to four children and three daughters, and is the best stallion in the local area.

However, good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, and things will go against their wishes.

Just as Mr. Chen's children grew up and became successful, and Mr. Chen felt that the Chen family could take another step forward, something big happened to the Chen family.

It was at the birthday party of Mr. Chen’s fiftieth birthday. Mr. Chen originally planned to take this opportunity to push his eldest son to the front desk and take over the business at home.

Okay, the eldest son gave him a surprise first and ran away from home, leaving only a last letter saying that he would take his third brother to participate, and if he didn't succeed, he would be successful.

Mr. Chen was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

He had repeatedly advised him not to get involved in this matter. Who knew that his eldest son had a trick on his face, but in private, and actually gave him a knife on his grand event.

Not only that, let's go, but also brought the third son, who was the best-study and most promising among the seven brothers and sisters of the Chen family.

This is not only a cheating man, but also a break from the Chen family's way forward!

He was angry and furious. Mr. Chen left that night. A great joy turned into a funeral.

After his death, Mr. Chen was very resentful and naturally resisted the reincarnation and witnessed his own burial and civil strife in the Chen family.

In just half a year, the glorious Chen family no longer existed, and the family business was even more fragmented, becoming a topic of conversation after dinner. Mr. Chen was originally resentful and almost turned into a ghost.

However, a person's behavior made Mr. Chen lose his way and he became a ghost from now on.

That person is Mr. Chen’s fourth son and Chen Hao’s grandfather.

Because when Mr. Chen's children were fighting for their family property, only Chen Hao's grandfather did not care about his family property, but silently chose to mourn Mr. Chen for three years.

Grandpa Chen Hao's filial piety moved Mr. Chen. From then on, he sat down to watch the Chen family be destroyed, his wives, concubines and children sold their property and went their separate ways. Then he silently watched Chen Hao's grandfather and rebuilt the Chen family by himself.

Chen Hao also heard about what happened later. His grandfather was too tired in his early years and left him sick. Finally, when Chen Hao was over three years old, Chen Hao's grandfather passed away. The next year, Chen Hao's grandmother was overly sad and followed him. From then on, the Chen family's glory and family difficulties were buried in the years and no one paid attention to it.

Now that I learned about the past from my great-grandfather, Chen Hao was speechless.

Unexpectedly, my ancestors were actually a landlord.

Tsk tsk, when I was studying, I saw Yang Bailao’s story, and I cursed it secretly. Now I think about it, I feel so fucked.

"That, great grandfather, what happened to the great grandfather and the third grandfather? And those elders, I have never heard my father talk about it." Chen Hao asked curiously.

Mr. Chen sneered: "What's there to say? Is there anything we can participate in? Two unfilial sons left without any news, and they probably died on a certain battlefield." Speaking of the past, Mr. Chen's face was full of anger and regret. The third son was the one who truly held all his hopes, but he was cheated by his eldest son.

Chen Hao comforted: "Great grandpa, don't be too sad. At least, our Chen family has not broken roots, right? You should know that in that era, many families were destroyed and their lineage was broken."

Mr. Chen glanced at Chen Hao and said, "It has been decades since these things, and I have let go of them long ago. But you have let me see the hope of the rise of the Chen family."

Chen Hao was ashamed, why did he talk about me again? I am different from you. You are a big landlord, I am a cultivator, and my development route is different. I will be satisfied if I can support my parents in this life and protect my worries for the rest of my life. I will be satisfied. Just let the rest go naturally.

"Haha, great-grandfather has been awarded. These days are not as good as before. Everyone is living a good life. There is no need to make too much trouble. As long as there is no shortage of food and drink and not worry about money, I think it's OK, are you right?"

Mr. Chen looked like an old fox and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will be successful sooner or later with this ability, and you will be unable to do so."

Chen Hao: “…”

What you said makes sense, I can't refute it at all.

Gugu! Gugu!

At this moment, amid the crowing of roosters, the rooster also walked into the old house of Chen's family, stretched his head and looked around, as if looking for Chen Hao.

Chen Hao was about to greet him, but Mr. Chen was surprised: "Is this your chicken?"

Chen Hao's mouth twitched, his face full of dark lines.

What is my chicken? Can I add the word "未分"? After all, I am a landlord, so I must speak in style. Old man.

"Ahem, this is given to me by someone else. Because it is a bit magical, I have raised it. Grandpa knows it?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

Speaking of which, in the eyes of the people, chickens are the same, at most they are divided into roosters, hens, and eggs. No matter where they are magical, they can eat them.

Mr. Chen looked at Chen Hao deeply and exclaimed: "I also grew up when I saw you. I didn't expect that you had such an adventure after only a few years of not paying attention. Not only did you have a skill, but you also raised a divine chicken. It seems that my Chen family is not only rising again, but also becoming an immortal sect."

Chen Hao was dumbfounded.

What the hell? Immortal Sect? Grandpa, are you really an ordinary person? Do you know too much?

As if he saw Chen Hao's doubts, Mr. Chen mocked: "It's different times. You have contacted too little. During our years, demons and ghosts, no one knows it. Just say that there is a Zhenhai Temple at the entrance of our gate, and there were also a high monk in charge. And there is a real story about the snake demon and the divine chicken fighting the Dragon King. I guess even if you know it now, it will be regarded as a myth."

Zhenhai Temple? Isn’t that a small dilapidated temple not far from Tongkou Town? When I was a child, I went in and saw it. It was a statue of a ferocious god. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to look at it. I didn’t expect that there were experts in charge?

Chen Hao became interested and asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, tell me."

Mr. Chen probably hadn't had such a chat for many years, and he didn't refuse when he heard this. He talked about something that happened when he was alive, although he did not experience it himself.

That was when Tongkou Town Wharf still existed, and it was next to the Wharf, called Jingnan River.

Baili Jingnan River, blue and white water dragon king.

There is another chapter later.
