Chapter 325: Chen Chuyang: Being a Son Is Too Hard

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang saw his third uncle, who had gone and returned, the man came back again.

At first, he went straight to Liu Yuer, not to him.

After waiting for a long time, the third uncle finally left the room, but his gait was odd; he struggled to the side of Chen Chuyang and sat down, struggled to pour a cup of tea and swallow it in one gulp, did this for three cups of tea, then exhaled a cloud of foul breath, and all his sorrow and fatigue were released at that moment.

The weary man immediately leaned on the table; in front of Chen Chuyang he was too lazy to put on a show, relaxed for a while, and then recovered.

"Third uncle, do you have to push yourself so hard?"

"Can't not push. While your father hasn't changed his mind, I need to speed up so that Yu'er becomes pregnant with my child; then we can move straight to the Chen Clan, and then I won't need to trouble you."

The third uncle is also a clever person; fearing his father's change of mind, such matters must certainly be prepared in advance.

But it would be troublesome if, later, the father says "I never said that."

Such a thing is indeed possible; it can only be said that the third uncle preemptively anticipated his father's anticipation.

"You aren't unaware of your father's character; when he's shameless, he's truly shameless. I must settle this quickly; only when Yu'er moves into the Chen Clan can I be at ease."

"Then you don't have to push so hard; take care of your health, don't ruin it."

The third uncle rolled his eyes at Chen Chuyang, scolding, "Chuyang nephew, you kid really hope my health deteriorates, don't you?"

"No, how could you think that, third uncle? I'm concerned about you; look at you, your essence is depleted, that's not good, you need to replenish."

"Your third uncle doesn't need any tonics; I'm in fine health."

After speaking, the third uncle stood up, patted his chest, proving how strong and formidable he is.

He doesn't need any tonics at all, nor any enhancement.

Men, after all, are all two‑faced.

In terms of aura, one cannot lose.

"Alright, sit down," Chen Chuyang, fearing that the third uncle would damage his own frail frame, quickly let him sit.

The third uncle reiterated, "My health is excellent, kid."

"Got it."

No need to reiterate.

If he repeats, there must be a problem.

"Third uncle, you didn't come up the mountain this time just for this matter, did you?"

Third uncle Chen Shen slapped his head and shouted, "Ah, I almost forgot the main matter."

"Chuyang, you must help your father; after so many days, your father still hasn't resolved matters with your mother. Now the whole Chen Clan is anxious, everyone cannot cultivate properly; if this continues, they'll go mad."

"This time, no matter what, you must go down the mountain for a trip."

Chen Chuyang already knew this; for the third uncle to leave and return, there must be something big.

He had long guessed this.

Father cannot possibly settle mother; mother is truly angry.

That kind of anger is something father cannot comprehend.

When he first saw Hu Yueer and the two children, Chen Chuyang was also troubled; he had already anticipated his mother's anger. This matter wouldn't be so easy to calculate; otherwise, after some days another would appear, endless.

Such a matter must be finished in one go, with no room for any luck.

Chen Chuyang also understood his mother's intention, and instead was not anxious.

He lifted the teacup and drank slowly.

The girl Shang Hongxue followed up; whenever there was gossip, she would appear.

Hu Yueer and the other two were assigned tasks; if not strenuous, then simple weed removal, pruning and planting of spiritual herbs—tasks that didn't require them, yet they weren't allowed to handle.

Many fruit trees also needed pruning and weeding; this job was just right for them.

Hu Yueer and the two worked hard, daring not to show any dissatisfaction; or rather, such tasks were trivial to them, and they were happy to do them. They had also adapted to life on Longshe Shan.

Without the initial fear and worry, Chen Chuyang completely let them be, caring about nothing.

They understood the dangers of Longshe Shan, knew where they could go and what they could do; they were all clear.

Third uncle Chen Shen saw Shang Hongxue arrive and gave a look.

Shang Hongxue spread her hands, indicating she was powerless.

"Chuyang nephew, when will you go down the mountain?"

Chen Chuyang leisurely sipped tea, not at all hurried.

Chen Shen, on the contrary, grew more anxious; he couldn't be as relaxed as Chen Chuyang.

"Chuyang, give me a definite answer—how long before you go down the mountain?"

"The Chen Clan is about to explode; if you don't go, then..."

Chen Chuyang glanced at the third uncle and said slowly, "Third uncle, my doing this is also for your good."

"Think about it: the longer this is delayed, the more beneficial it is for you; Aunt Yu'er also gets more time. Once I go down and resolve it, your matters won't be so easy to handle. Are you sure you want me to go down now?"

The third uncle Chen Shen, upon hearing that, suddenly understood.

"Right, how did I not think of that?"

He slapped his own head hard, then pounded it three more times in succession.

With some force, the slapping sound could be heard.

Shang Hongxue covered her mouth and giggled; this third uncle is so funny.

The third uncle grinned with clenched teeth, shifted his body, and moved a bit closer to Chen Chuyang.

"Chuyang nephew, you truly are a good nephew to the third uncle; only you keep thinking of me. I hadn't thought of that. This matter cannot be rushed; it must be solved slowly. Their haste is their problem; we must not be hasty."

"Chuyang, for the sake of the third uncle, you must not go down the mountain too early; no matter who asks you, don't go down."

Chen Chuyang looked at the uncharacteristically changed third uncle and couldn't help laughing.

"Got it, Uncle, go hurry up and attend to your business."

"Huh?"

Uncle Chen Shen's face kept changing, his legs were still trembling; now letting him do anything, he wasn't interested.

Besides, Yu'er was still lying in bed, unable to get up.

They rested temporarily for half a day, then would continue at night.

"Chuyang, you and Hongxue girl also need to hurry up; Uncle is waiting for your child to be born."

"Hongxue, you say yes or no?"

Shang Hongxue blushed deeply.

Immediately she turned her back on Uncle, saying nothing, not answering, not speaking.

With her head lowered, her whole face turned red.

She was still very shy.

Chen Chuyang, on the other hand, was not shy, and retorted teasingly.

"I'm not in a hurry; rather, Uncle, you need to speed up, otherwise you'll be slower than me later."

"By then, you'll be mocked by your nephew."

While speaking, his gaze swept over Uncle's pants.

That mocking smile, that mocking expression.

Uncle Chen Shen immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Kid, your Uncle is fine, no problems at all."

"Really?"

"You just wait for me."

Uncle went back to fighting.

This time, it's likely to be awful.

Chen Chuyang laughed and said: "Uncle, you're really not fun to tease."

In the room, Uncle might suffer.

Shang Hongxue shyly said: "Brother Chuyang, you're really messing with Uncle, is that okay?"

"I'm doing this all for Uncle's good; Uncle ought to thank me."

"……"

Brother Chuyang is full of bad ideas.

Too bad.

She really likes it.
