Chapter 1042: Uncle and Nephew Digging Traps for Each Other

Chen Chuyang was speechless; this third uncle really came to cause trouble, as if he had no daughter at all—does he have to be so smug?

Shang Hongxue covered her mouth and snickered; seeing her husband being embarrassed made her the happiest, as if she couldn't wait.

Third uncle kept bragging about his daughter, making everyone show off their own beloved daughters so they could admire them and envy him. Xiao Qian, standing nearby, truly couldn't bear to watch; she hugged her younger sister and went back to their mother, lest the sister be spoiled by this father.

Chen Chuh rebuked, "Father, that's enough; if you keep this up, watch out for Mother causing you trouble."

"Ha ha, isn't Father just too happy?" third uncle Chen Shen patted his head, showing no shame at all.

Chen Chuh didn't know what to say, so he could only nod apologetically at Chen Chuyang. Compared with third uncle Chen Shen, this younger brother was steadier; if their roles were swapped it would be just right, but unfortunately, it couldn't be.

Chen Chuyang chuckled, "Third uncle, look—brother Chuh looks more like a father than you. Between the two of you, who is the son? Who is the father?"

Third uncle Chen Shen couldn't fail to grasp Chen Chuyang's teasing; he rolled his eyes and said, "Obviously I'm the father, kid. Don't sow discord; trying to split the relationship between us father and son is impossible."

"Our father‑son relationship is not something you can break."

As he said so, he clutched Chen Chuh's shoulder; Chen Chuyang felt uneasy, pushed his hand away, and moved aside, not wanting to stand with his father—it was too embarrassing.

"Ha ha ha, third uncle, look—brother Chuh thinks you're embarrassing. Stop acting like a whiner, be steadier; you're now the father of three children. Can you be as steady as I am?"

Third uncle Chen Shen: "…"

Your steadiness is a joke; when your daughter was born you bragged nonstop. If you hadn't done that, my daughter's birth wouldn't have turned out like this.

Using his own method against him, now you can't stand it.

"Kid, you are truly shameless."

"Likewise."

Chen Chuyang smiled, having seen third uncle's daughter being born, naturally he was to be set up with some pills; Chen Chuyang didn't mind at all, gave the little girl some gifts. Because of his relationship with third uncle, the pills were just pills, not worth mentioning.

Shang Hongxue also gave some gifts; when their child was born, third uncle had put in a lot of effort.

Three days after third uncle's daughter was born, the eldest brother's son was also born.

The first birth produced a son; Feng Lingling was very supportive, and the mother immediately told Chen Chuyang the good news. Afterwards, big brother Chen Chusheng bragged about his son, repeatedly urging Chen Chuyang to go back and see his child.

The purpose, of course, needs no explanation.

Shang Hongxue heard big brother's words and found them very funny.

"Brother Chuyang, I'll go back with you. Big brother has a child; it would be absurd for me not to go. Shang Hongchen let her properly raise the child on the mountain."

"Very well, madam."

Chen Chuyang grabbed Shang Hongxue's hand, and they vanished from the spot.

The Chen Clan.

A wave of joy spread throughout the Chen Clan.

Chen Chusheng had a son; this was a major event for the Chen Clan, also good news.

Naturally, this caused a stir in the Chen Clan, and second uncle Chen Chen also returned.

Third uncle Chen Shen, of course, couldn't be absent; he hurried back, saw Chen Chuyang return, and rushed over saying, "Kid, what a coincidence this time—our children were all born together. From now on, we won't lack playmates."

"Indeed, third uncle, your daughter will have to take some hits in the future; watching my daughter won't be easy. As the elder sister, she naturally must discipline her younger brothers and sisters properly."

Chen Chuyang boasted that his daughter, being the elder sister, would naturally discipline the younger siblings; in the future only Qing Meng would have the chance to beat third uncle's daughter, not the other way around.

Third uncle sneered, "Kid, your daughter dares to beat her aunt? Aren't you afraid your mother will beat your daughter?"

Within the Chen Clan, some matters still need attention.

For example, elders and juniors—this point still requires caution.

Principally, even if third uncle's daughter is young, she is still an aunt and must not be hit.

"Tch, they're the same age, friction between them is perfectly normal, right, madam?"

Shang Hongxue agreed, "Indeed, it's normal for kids to fight. Third uncle, you mustn't intervene."

Back then, Chuh and Qing Lian also had conflicts and often fought; the adults never intervened, which actually deepened their bond. After a fight, they reconciled the next day.

Moreover, doing so greatly benefits the children—it enhances their combat experience and stimulates their ambition.

"Kid, stop being smug; who will get beaten later is uncertain. My daughter is the best; she'll definitely beat your daughter into oblivion."

"Hehe."

The two fathers faced off; big brother Chen Chusheng came out holding his son, meeting them one by one.

When they reached third uncle, Chen Chuyang teased, "Third uncle, as an elder, not giving a welcome gift would be unacceptable."

A little bit of a trap is still a trap; big brother Chen Chusheng smiled, "Third uncle."

With that look, that smile, and that kid right in front of him, without a gift he couldn't leave the Chen Clan.

Third uncle Chen Shen, helpless, took out a gift and, reluctantly, handed it to big brother's son.

Second uncle Chen Chen, on his side, was ready and felt very pleased.

When it was Chen Chuyang's turn, third uncle Chen Shen began sarcastically, "Chuyang, as an uncle, you only give a few bottles of pills? That's unacceptable."

"In our Chen Clan, you're the wealthiest; do you have the nerve?"

"This is your own nephew, your big brother's first son; you can't even part with these things."

Chen Chuyang's smile froze; fortunes turn, and third uncle's revenge would not wait until the next night.

In response, Chen Chuyang shrugged, "Third uncle, it's just one of my gifts."

Saying that, Chen Chuyang produced a spirit medicine, a fifth‑grade spirit pill, and directly infused it into big brother's son's body, sealing it inside so the spirit medicine would nourish his physique, bringing great benefits to his future.

After that step, third uncle Chen Shen had nothing to say.

Big brother Chen Chusheng kept giving thanks; he naturally understood what it meant—his son's future would not be lacking, at least condensation of pills was inevitable.

That was enough for him.

He immediately grasped his son's physique and talent; naturally it couldn't match the special constitution of Chen Qinglian or that of Qing Meng, not even third uncle's daughter.

With Chen Chuyang's maneuver, his son's future won't be lacking; at least the foundation will be solid.

"Chuyang, thank you."

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Between us brothers, there's no need for this."
