The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1706 Chengfeng delivers things to Ge Dongqing

Shang Xi then changed the subject and said to Yu Hua, "Yu Hua, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Besides, you shouldn't be so overprotective of your brother-in-law. It's not good for your little brother's growth. I'm not trying to criticize you, but Yu Hua, you're just a worrier. With so many people in your family, you should let go when necessary. Whether they're under your command or not, they won't go hungry. You should focus your attention on yourself more in the future. Look at how much weight you've lost since your little brother got married. Getting married is ultimately a good thing, especially now that things are fait accompli. If Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are watching from heaven, they'll be very happy to know that your Chen family has gained a new member. Yu Hua, it's not that I'm bringing up Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen today, but the marriage you're so strongly against doesn't mean Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen don't approve of it. Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are both reasonable people. I don't believe they would oppose Qing Sheng and He Ye's marriage."

Cheng Feng chimed in, "That's right. When I married Shang Xi, my Uncle Chen even spoke well of her. We all know what Shang Xi's situation was like!"

"Why are you dragging me into this? We're talking about Big Eyes. You two are not allowed to use this as an excuse to ramble on and on, or we won't get back to the point by sunset."

Yu Hua, considering the bigger picture, pointed at Cheng Feng and said unfriendly, "Cheng Feng, you're shameless. I won't argue with you, I'll let you off for now. But you have to take care of what happened to Da Yan today. Let's go, let's leave the city now and find Da Yan's uncles and demand an explanation."

Yu Hua is going, and Shang Xi has to go too.

Fearing that his uncles, who had large eyes, would be difficult to deal with, Cheng Feng also brought several servants with him.

Upon arriving outside the north gate, it became clear that Big Eyes wasn't malnourished at all; it was hereditary, inherited from his ancestors. His uncles were just like him—short and thin, practically skin and bones. Even more striking was the large, distinctive eye size unique to Big Eyes' entire family. Just standing in front of them, it was obvious they shared the same ancestor; those big, bright eyes screamed cunning and shrewdness.

They all knew Cheng Feng and Shang Xi. Cheng Feng didn't know these two people, but Shang Xi not only knew them, but was also very familiar with them. The house they lived in was built by Shang Xi and the others; they had worked and eaten together. It's just that at that time, Shang Xi didn't connect Da Yan with these two people. Unexpectedly, they were all from the same family.

So as soon as he asked, the man's uncles confessed everything. Shang Xi realized they were indeed from the same family; Da Yan was timid, and his uncles weren't much better.

Cheng Feng didn't waste any words. He asked Da Yan's uncles, "How many relatives does Da Yan have? Who is in charge?"

The eldest uncle with big eyes spoke up, "There are only my second uncle and I left as relatives."

Cheng Feng said, "This boy with big eyes works in my Prince's mansion, so you don't need to find a slave trader. I want this person; name your price!"

Shang Xi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, Cheng Feng hadn't given the big eye to his uncles.

The two uncles with big eyes exchanged a glance, then held up two fingers. Cheng Feng chuckled, "You two are quite bold in asking for prices!"

Yu Hua whispered in Shang Xi's ear, "Isn't this outrageous? These big eyes are only worth two hundred taels?"

At this moment, Cheng Feng said to the servants beside him, "Give them twenty taels."

The two men who received the silver exchanged a glance and smiled. They had finally sold Big Eyes, and they wouldn't have to be a burden to their brothers anymore.

Upon hearing that it was only twenty taels, Shang Xi looked at Yu Hua, and Yu Hua looked at Shang Xi. The two of them stared at each other, lamenting how worthless the people here were! They had both assumed that the two fingers held up by the two uncles represented two hundred taels, but it turned out that they only wanted twenty taels.

At this moment, Big Eyes secretly tugged at Chengfeng's sleeve, "Young Master, the money that was stolen from me is still in my uncle's hands!"

Cheng Feng turned and left: "I don't want it!"

Big Eyes followed closely behind, afraid that his uncles would catch him and take him back, but he kept muttering under his breath, "Young Master, there's a whole bunch of copper coins here, and you just say you don't want them!"

Cheng Feng glanced at him sideways: "If you want it, go back and ask for it yourself!"

Big Eyes shook his head like a peddler's drum. No matter how thin or small his uncles were, they could beat him up as easily as playing a game. He was already terrified of being beaten. Since Cheng Feng didn't stand up for him, he didn't dare to ask his two uncles for money.

Once they entered the city, Shang Xi finally spoke up and asked Cheng Feng, "They asked for twenty taels, why did you say they dared to ask for such a high price?"

"Go out and ask around, how much is a skinny kid like Big Eyes worth?" Cheng Feng's words were full of disdain.

Before the two women could press Cheng Feng for answers, Da Yan lowered his head and said, "I'm only worth five taels of silver. If I were in better health, I'd be worth seven or ten taels. As you can see, my uncles are both short, and my father is thin and small. I'm sure I won't grow tall or fat either. So, even when I grow up, I won't be worth twenty taels."

Yu Hua said, "You do have some self-awareness. But you know perfectly well that your eldest and second uncles treat you badly, so why did you go out of the city to find them? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"I'm going to fly a kite, and I'll give some candy to my friends while I'm at it." Big Eyes became sad when she mentioned the kite. "I'm never giving them candy again. They ate my candy and even stole my kite. I lost a lot of money going out of town. I'm not playing with them anymore."

Even after arriving home, Da Yan was still upset about not getting his copper coins back. Cheng Feng pointed to the three wooden boxes on the table and said to Da Yan, "Send the top one to Cang Man, the middle one to Boss Qian, and the bottom one to Lord Ge Dongqing."

"Yes!" Big Eyes rubbed his red and swollen eyes, picked up the three wooden boxes shakily, and walked away quickly.

Yu Hua asked Cheng Feng, "What are we sending to Lord Ge now that it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"

Shang Xi also wanted to know why she was sending gifts to the Ge family again today, after having just sent gifts during the New Year.

Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Uncle Ge recently took a new concubine, so I have to send him something as a token of my appreciation!"

"He's taken another concubine?" Yu Hua reacted the most strongly among those in the room. "That Ge Dongqing is so shameless! Can he even handle all these women? Wait, did the matchmaker really find him a woman with a big bottom who's good at bearing children?"

Shang Xi was speechless. She didn't want to criticize this person in any way. She only wanted to say one thing, which was also what she really thought: "Whether a big butt is good for childbirth or not is secondary. I think Uncle Ge is just a lecher!"

“Yes, that man is a lecher.” Yu Hua then asked Cheng Feng, “What did you send to Lord Ge when he took a concubine?”

"It's not a valuable item, but it has a good meaning; it's a bronze jade ruyi! I think my Uncle Ge will definitely like it when he sees it!"
