The General''s Little Peasant Wife Chapter 778

Chapter 778

Chen Qi’s body trembled and his face remained pale as he spoke, “Mother, let’s go in first . Then, we’ll talk . ”

Mrs . Chen glanced at her son, she felt that her son seemed to have lost a lot of weight since she last saw him . Not only that, it seemed that he had changed, as if he had suffered a major illness .

Mrs . Chen took her son into the house, then she looked at him and demanded, “Son, why did you take so long to come back? Did you bring back any good stuff for me? How much silver did you take back this time? Is it at least five hundred silvers?”

Without waiting for Chen Qi to speak, Mrs . Chen rained her questions one after another . Chen Qi only felt a breeze of coolness, listening to her questions .

He believed that even outsiders could see how terrible he looked? But his own mother did not seem to notice anything, she only cared about how much money he took back and what he brought back .

When the other people from the Chen family knew that Chen Qi had returned, they all quickly went out and stared at him with their eyes shining with greed .

Chen Qi had seen this sight several times, but this time he felt the gaze was too unsightly .

“Second brother, what did you bring back with you? How could you just bring back fifty silvers last time? What can we do with that amount? You need to know that our family has a certain status now . We will be laughed at by others if you bring back so little money . ”

“Sister-in-law is right . Second brother, that fifty silvers of yours last time, it’s like an insult, don’t you think so? You didn’t bring anything back with you too . ”

“That’s right . Second brother, you didn’t keep some for yourself, did you?”

“……”

Chen Qi looked at them without saying a word . At first, he had a little antic.i.p.ation, but it was all gone now .

How could they say this kind of thing as if they took him for granted?

Chen Qi looked at his older brother’s family and his third brother’s family, who kept talking, he suddenly wondered what had he done for the past one to two years .

“That’s enough . ”

The people who were talking excitedly, suddenly heard Chen Qi’s words, and they subconsciously closed their mouths and turned to look at him .

But that only lasted a short while . Chen Qi’s sister-in-law glared at Chen Qi and said in a very dissatisfied tone: “What is the meaning of this, Chen Qi? How dare you yell at your own sister-in-law . ”

“That’s right, second brother, people might misunderstand us . ”

Chen Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, after listening to them: “That’s my money . What I gave you was because of our relationship . I have the right not to give you that . How much money have I given you in the past two years? Why aren’t you guys content yet? The money that I brought back in the past two years adds up to at least two thousand silvers . And what about the things you guys sold secretly? Aren’t those things still not enough?”

“Enough? What is enough? It was not even enough to cover the expenses at home . ” screamed his sister-in-law .

If this was a typical family, the money was actually enough to not worry about food and clothes, but the Chen family focused on quality . After having the money, they started to behave arrogantly . They would not wear the clothes that were not the latest trend, and they would not wear accessories that did not look nice .

Chen Qi sneered and looked at his sister-in-law indifferently . He said, “Sister-in-law, if you want to spend money next time, then go make money yourself, don’t come to me again . ”

“What do you mean, Chen Qi?” Mrs . Chen, who had been quiet, suddenly asked, as she gazed sharply at him .

Chen Qi suppressed the self-deprecation he felt, and looked at Mrs . Chen: “My Boss found out that I stole from the workshop, she even knows where you guys sold the things, sold to who, how much money you got from the things you sold, who bought from you, and everything, she knows everything . Because of this, I was kicked out of the workshop, and my Boss even said, if we cannot return the amount of money we got from selling the things, she will send all of us to prison . ”

Chen Qi looked at his family in front of him after calmly explaining to them .

Sure enough, after listening to his words, the first to go out of control was Mrs . Chen, “What? She knows about everything? Chen Qi, you’re so useless . I can’t believe you can’t even do something so simple carefully . What do I need you for now? Why don’t you just die out there, why did you come back to be a burden on us all?”
