Chapter 339: Mother goes up the mountain, a battle between women?

How about it, Hongxue lass, is Third Uncle formidable?

Shang Hongxue said disdainfully, 'Not formidable.'

But it's entertaining to watch; not bad. Aside from that, Third Uncle's fist movements look very much like a monkey's.

Weird.

Third Uncle, you look like a monkey right now.

Third Uncle Chen Shen: '...'

Pfft. Chen Chuyang beside him could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

Hahaha, Third Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, but you're really hilarious.

Hahaha, monkey, Third Uncle, you're a monkey, hahahaha.

But speaking of it, Third Uncle, you really looked like a monkey just now.

The Chen Clan's bloodline is special: father honest, second uncle handsome, third uncle goofy. I didn't used to think Third Uncle looked like a monkey, but after a closer look, combining his fist movements just now, Chen Chuyang felt he was linking Third Uncle with a monkey; looking this way, he really is a monkey.

His laughter grew louder, unrestrained, the mocking tone rushing straight to Third Uncle's celestial crown. Third Uncle Chen Shen stood where he was, pointing at Chen Chuyang, so angry he could do nothing; helplessly he glanced at Chen Chuyang, then fixed his gaze on Shang Hongxue, putting on a fierce expression.

Hongxue lass, you're bullying too much.

He is Third Uncle, an elder; how can she say that about me?

Shang Hongxue hurriedly apologized: 'Third Uncle, sorry, I shouldn't have said you look like a monkey; I was wrong.'

Her apology was sincere and swift.

Third Uncle Chen Shen was furious; seeing the smile on that lass's face made him angry.

Clearly she was apologizing, but on her face there was no sign of apology.

And Chen Chuyang this nephew, can't you stop laughing? Is it really that funny?

Alright, Third Uncle, I won't laugh; you don't need to stare at me like that. Normally I don't laugh, but you're really hilarious. I never noticed before that you look like a monkey. You say our Chen Clan bloodline has no monkey blood; you going your own way is truly eccentric.

Third Uncle Chen Shen: '...'

That attitude made it even harder to swallow.

This nephew is clearly making him uncomfortable.

Hmph.

He was angry.

Chen Chuyang quickly restrained his smile and apologized: 'Third Uncle, people must respect their elders; when you're old, you should accept it; nephew won't laugh at you.'

Taking the opportunity to approach, Chen Chuyang whispered: 'Third Uncle, nephew can help you concoct some pills to help you regain your vigor.'

Third Uncle Chen Shen hastily pushed Chen Chuyang away, declaring righteously: 'Chen Chuyang, your Third Uncle has no problem, no problem at all, and doesn't need those pills; stop looking down on me.'

This concerns a man's dignity; how could one allow him to be defamed?

What does this nephew mean? Do I, Chen Shen, need those pills? This is an insult to my character.

Think of him, Chen Shen, a playboy of Longshe Cheng, a regular at all the grand venues; which beauty hasn't he tried? He never felt any strain; his body is excellent, with no issues at all. What look do these two have? Hmph.

Alright, Third Uncle, I know your health is excellent, but nephew really does have this kind of pill.

Recently nephew researched a pill; its effect is strong, guaranteeing that after you take it you'll be vigorous and lively.

I wouldn't claim a hundredfold increase, but tenfold is still there.

He raised an eyebrow, smiled.

You sure you don't need it?

Third Uncle Chen Shen fell silent, pondered a moment, then still refused.

Face to face, in front of Shang Hongxue he couldn't accept it.

He also cares about face.

What is that?

Why are they kneeling there? What happened?

Third Uncle finally noticed the three people kneeling—Hu Yueer and two others—kneeling on the ground; it looks like they haven't just knelt down, but have been kneeling for a while.

The three's condition is off, especially Hu Yueer, whose mental state is poor.

At a glance you can tell they've been kneeling for many days; the two children are similarly listless, though better off than Hu Yueer.

They, they just want...

Chen Chuyang briefly described the cause and course of events.

That's roughly it, Third Uncle; what do you think I should do?

Third Uncle Chen Shen frowned, looked at the kneeling Hu Yueer and company, then at the two children, turned back, gazed into Chen Chuyang's eyes—calm, without ripple, showing no sign of softening—and he let out a deep sigh.

Ah.

Nephew Chuyang, how do you plan to handle this?

Chen Chuyang laughed: 'Nephew still needs to ask Third Uncle you; Third Uncle, you tell me what I should do.'

The ball bounced back to Third Uncle again; Third Uncle Chen Shen had a headache—he didn't want to intervene or meddle, but those three were the ones he brought up the mountain; if he ignored them it wouldn't be justified, yet intervening also wasn't good.

Those two also count as his nephews; seeing them kneel constantly isn't a solution either.

It's just that Hu Yueer's method was off, leaving them in limbo—neither kneeling nor not kneeling works.

Helpless, he could only thicken his skin and ask: 'Is Foundation Establishment difficult?'

I don't know; I haven't tried, and I have no confidence.' Chen Chuyang said truthfully.

Do you have confidence?

Chen Chuyang shook his head: 'No.'

Chen Shen sighed again; looking at Hu Yueer, his gaze wasn't kind.

Then why go through all this? Surely she isn't really trying to force you to agree?

Uncle Chen Shen is not someone who knows nothing; after hearing a bit, he knows this nephew is not lying. This matter has no right or wrong, only different positions; one can only say that Hu Yueer truly... does not understand human relations, or perhaps she does understand and is deliberately acting this way.

I don't know; the nephew also has no idea.

Chen Chuyang said this on purpose, waiting for his uncle to speak.

Uncle Chen Shen didn't speak, but stared at the three kneeling Hu Yueer.

After a long while, he didn't speak, went down the mountain, and asked Liu Yuer some questions.

He also didn't know how to intervene in this matter; it's impossible to offend the nephew for an outsider, and he can't force Chen Chuyang for others.

This nephew Chen Chuyang yields to softness but not hardness; he won't do anything without benefit. If he speaks up, he will surely have to pay a considerable price, a price Chen Shen doesn't want to pay, after all, she is not his woman and has nothing to do with him.

If it were Liu Yuer and Zhang Nongqian, he would surely... grit his teeth and pay.

After an hour.

Uncle Chen Shen returned to Chen Chuyang's side again; it was obvious that he and Liu Yuer had reached an agreement. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Chuyang raised his right hand, stopped the uncle from speaking, lifted his head, and looked down the mountain.

There's a good show to watch.

In Chen Chuyang's eyes, he saw his mother climbing the mountain.

That aura, that bloodline sense, cannot be wrong.

Mother has already entered the Longshe Shan area and is rapidly approaching.

Chen Shen suddenly raised his head, looked down the mountain, and his expression changed.

How did sister-in-law come? This time, something will surely happen.
