Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids! Chapter 200: He Chunhong Causes Trouble at the Door

Chen Ruiyu saw how cautious his younger siblings were and reassured them, "I’m fine, really! Just like you said, everyone loves , and I have no mories of that woman from my childhood. At most, it’s just a bit of sadness for a while."

"Really?" Chen Xinyue’s eyes lit up.

Chen Ruiyu nodded heavily.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, Chen Wenjun went out alone and took the opportunity to pick up his youngest son on the way ho.

Lin Qin stayed at ho with the children after making a call to her workplace.

Chen Wenjun didn’t return with the youngest son until almost evening.

The family had dinner as if nothing had happened.

Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin went to the study.

"Today, I asked Wenfeng and Gao Lei to help investigate He Chunhong’s movents over the years. They worked on it from different angles, and we found out quite a lot."

Lin Qin saw he was in a good mood, which seed to be good news, so she imdiately sat down and cooperatively asked, "What did you find?"

Chen Wenjun pulled out a crumpled docunt from his pocket, "It’s all here. Back then, she went with her family to Xinxi, and in the following year, she remarried a local Dang man arranged by her family and had a son and a daughter.

Three years ago, her husband died, her son was rebellious and unruly, basically a hooligan, and her daughter went to work elsewhere and hasn’t returned much.

Recently, her son killed soone and ran. The police are pursuing him. She’s afraid the police will co to her door, so she hid back in Nanxi. Now that she knows Ping’an has beco successful, she naturally won’t let it go easily, but they probably don’t know that I have these materials. Let’s just watch them for now. If the He family dares to cause trouble, we’ll call the police and settle the old scores at the sa ti!"

Lin Qin occasionally tapped the table, lost in thought. As a woman, she knew He Chunhong would never let Ping’an go. If it weren’t for their blood relationship, Lin Qin would have wanted to deal with He Chunhong herself.

For now, they could only wait and see.

The couple didn’t take the initiative to act.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Lin Qin was about to leave when a group of people blocked her at the door.

She glanced around and saw He Xia and He Chunhong in the crowd, expressionless, finally focusing her gaze on the village head, Chen Yintao.

"Is there sothing, Village Head?"

Chen Yintao, seeing Lin Qin asking knowingly, looked a bit embarrassed and ingratiating, "Lin Qin, yesterday He Xia and they brought He Chunhong here, saying that He Chunhong ca back to recognize her son, and you all stopped her. They insisted I stand up for them. I don’t know what happened, so to give everyone an answer, I could only co along to ask. There’s nothing else."

He really didn’t want to make this trip, but the village had many Chen and He families, and all of He Chunhong’s convoluted relatives had co. He couldn’t just do nothing.

Lin Qin understood what he ant, and her unhappy expression eased a bit. She chuckled, "Village head, I heard sothing interesting. Why don’t we all listen?"

"Listen to what? Get Ping’an out here! Ungrateful bastard, not even acknowledging his birth mother. What is he? I’m telling you, Lin Qin, others may fear you, but I don’t! If you don’t clarify this today, no one will have it easy!"

The one speaking was He Chunhong’s cousin and He Xia’s nephew, nad He Yong.

Lin Qin sneered, "Fine! I also want to clarify this matter to stop soone from ssing up our family’s life! Village Head, what do you think?"

Chen Yintao nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, the matter needs to be resolved."

Lin Qin’s smile deepened. "In that case, I ask the village head to go back and gather all the elders of our Chen family, especially those who know the details from back then. Preferably, have them all co over! I’m Lin Qin, and I won’t let everyone make this trip in vain. In a few days, I’ll host a banquet at the village’s ancestral hall to treat everyone to a good al!

I heard our village is planning to build a temple, and we can contribute to that as well."

Hearing this, Chen Yintao imdiately responded warmly, "You wait, I’ll have Ah Cai go back and call everyone you need!"

"Lin Qin, what are you up to?" He Xia shouted harshly but nervously, and Lin Qin’s actions were completely beyond her expectations. She couldn’t guess what Lin Qin was planning next.

Lin Qin leaned lazily against the door, arms crossed, looking at He Xia and He Chunhong with a faint smile, "I want to see just how shaless people can be!"

"You!" He Xia cursed angrily, "If it weren’t for you bewitching Chen Wenjun and his son, how could Ping’an not acknowledge his birth mother? It’s all because of you, this wicked stepmother!"

The He family mbers nodded, agreeing with He Xia’s statent.

He Chunhong imdiately started crying, playing the victim to garner sympathy, making the onlookers even more indignant at Lin Qin.

Chen Yintao, listening to all the pointing and comntary, had his face half blackened in frustration and scolded, "What are you all arguing about? Even I don’t know much about what happened back then, what do you know!"

That was an old story from over a decade ago. Chen Yintao was only in his early thirties now and was just a young man back then, completely unaware of what was going on in Chen Wenjun’s family.

The elderly people who intervened back then had mostly passed away over the years, leaving only three or four participants alive. Two were severely hard of hearing, two lived under a boat for years and had severe rheumatism and couldn’t rember much. Even if he wanted to learn more, he couldn’t find anyone.

Only people like Chen Yongding and Zhou Shuifang could be asked, but they only knew that He Chunhong had abandoned her husband and child. So people said He Chunhong tried to harm the child, but there was no evidence.

As the village head, he was in a tough position.

The He family mbers were dissatisfied, but they tolerated it because Chen Yintao was the village head.

After about half an hour, Chen family villagers gradually arrived, all middle-aged and elderly people over forty.

Zhou Shuifang and Chen Yongding, upon arriving, pointed at He Chunhong and cursed loudly.

"He Chunhong! You were the one who abandoned your husband and child back then! It was you who couldn’t endure hardship and suffering, and it was you who tried every way to get rid of the child! Now that you see Ping’an has beco successful, you want to co and take the fruits of others’ labor! Who do you think you are!" Zhou Shuifang scolded energetically.

He Chunhong just cried, pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, refusing to respond.

He Xia, unable to bear it, argued back with Zhou Shuifang, "You and Chen Wenjun are all in cahoots! You never liked our Chunhong before, and now you’re splashing dirty water on her, slandering her. Be careful or lightning will strike you!"

"I!" Zhou Shuifang was so furious she rolled up her sleeves.

If they weren’t on the water at that mont, with both sides on their own boats, she would have rushed over to tear into He Xia.

Chen Yongding saw his wife’s emotions running high, realizing he couldn’t calm her, quickly looked at Lin Qin, and asked, "Where’s Wenjun?"

"He went out early this morning. Uncle, don’t worry, I can handle this." Lin Qin seed full of confidence.

But Chen Yongding was extrely worried. With things getting so big, how could Lin Qin handle it? Was she going to let them fight the He family in front of the house?

Ah! If only his old man had lived a few more years.

Chen Yongding sighed endlessly, knowing best about Ping’an’s situation.
