Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

Qinghe Town.

As one of the four towns in An County, it has always been prosperous.

Especially recently, because of the emergence of a new big family, it has become more prosperous.

Why?

It's because of the black gold paste.

Because of the large-scale sales of the county tycoon Xu, the whole county knows about this thing.

And the birthplace of this thing is currently in Qinghe Town, and a large group of merchants have come to purchase goods.

Not only from An County, but also from the neighboring county.

"Alas, it's a pity that Chen and the rich merchant Xu seem to have a tacit understanding. They don't sell secret recipes, but only finished products."

"Okay, so what if they sell secret recipes? It's your turn as a merchant?"

"What's the matter? Isn't it okay to think about it?"

"..."

The two merchants who came from the neighboring county to purchase goods quarreled.

Behind them, the renovated Chen's medicine shop has opened.

That's right, the black gold paste has been included in the medicine shop, which has been promoted invisibly.

...

Chen's compound.

Chen Nuo sat in the hall, talking to his uncle about the business these days.

"Uncle, the business in the next county will depend on you."

"Hey, don't worry, I can do this."

"That's good..."

"How are the tribe members doing recently?"

"Well, satisfied, very satisfied, the tribe members who are willing to come to Qinghe Town have been allocated houses, and there are jobs to do, and the money they get is much more than working in the fields."

Because he had to develop in Qinghe Town temporarily, Chen Nuo moved some of his tribe members here.

Because it was almost winter, there was basically no work in the fields, so there were quite a few people willing to come.

It also filled some of the Chen family's power in Qinghe Town.

After talking to his uncle, Chen Nuo came to the backyard and started to exercise his hands and feet with punches and kicks.

In order to better exert his strength, Chen Nuo also bought some superficial martial arts from those escorts.

Basically, it teaches people how to fight, elbow the heart, poke the eyes, and steal peaches.

Even so, based on the strength and speed of Chen Nuo's skin and flesh realm, the power he exerted should not be underestimated.

After practicing for an hour, just after putting down the stone lock, Sister La, who was wearing a light red long skirt and short jacket, and a light red peach heart headband wrapped around her forehead, came over and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead for him.

At this time, Sister La was different from the previous two months. After these days of maintenance and nourishment with cooling liquid, her cheeks, which were originally a little sallow, have become white and tender. With that dress, she looks even younger and more beautiful.

Chen Nuo lay on the recliner, took the honey water with honey, and drank a sip.

Thinking of the delicious food to be eaten at noon, he couldn't help laughing.

This is called life~

Now that the family has finally developed a little, Chen Nuo must enjoy it a little.

Before, there was no condition, but now there is condition. As the patriarch, everyone can eat. What's wrong with him enjoying it?

It's not a very extravagant thing.

Just then.

There was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

The servant walked over to open the door.

These servants were all newly recruited, and some of them were surnamed Chen. For example, the better positions such as the cook and the doorman were all from the Chen clan.

"Brother Nuo."

The rough voice made Chen Nuo know who was coming.

However, "Huh?"

"Chen Yong, Chen Li, did you come together?"

It was not just Chen Yong who came in, but also Chen Li!

"Well, I met him halfway." Chen Yong waved his hand, trotted over, looked at Chen Nuo's honey, and smiled.

He rolled his eyes, "Here, give it, give it, don't ask for it anymore."

"Okay, brother."

Chen Yong has been coming here almost every day these two days. What's the purpose?

Of course, it's to eat and drink for free!

Chen Li, on the other hand, basically won't come here without official business.

He looked at Chen Li.

Chen Li's face was solemn, "Chief, something happened to Chen Le."

? ? ?

Chen Nuo was stunned.

Then he realized who Chen Le was.

Chen Le, the grandson of my great uncle, went to the county town to be a butcher.

He often didn't go home, wasn't close to the people in the clan, and didn't even come back for his own clan leader's ceremony. Last time, I asked my uncle to tell him to come back, but he said he was busy and couldn't come back...

"I remember that he didn't come back last time because he hooked up with a woman, right?"

"Yes, that's right, and the incident this time was also because of that woman."

"Oh? Tell me."

After all, Chen Le is the grandson of my great uncle, so he should be taken care of. Moreover, now that the big things have been temporarily resolved, it's a good time to teach this kid a lesson.

He didn't even come back when my great uncle fainted, he was rebellious!

"That guy fell in love with a woman, a tofu seller. His parents died early and he only had one younger brother. Originally, this was not a big deal, but the woman's reputation was not very good."

"It seems that she is unclear with many gangsters in the city. People in that alley basically say so. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"I don't know how they fell in love with each other. Chen Le..."

At this point, Chen Li suddenly stopped talking.

?

"Tell me, what happened?"

Chen Nuo asked.

Chen Li licked his lips and said dryly, "He wanted to marry her, but the woman asked for too high a gift. Chen Le, Chen Le, went to the gambling house to gamble."

"..."

Chen Nuo was speechless.

He seemed to have guessed what happened.

What kind of good place can a gambling house be?

That place, nine out of ten bets are lost, and the other one is a scam!

Only the dealer wins!

It's a den of demons.

Those who get involved in this place basically have no good end, especially Chen Le, this idiot, who actually wants to win the betrothal money in it, which is simply hilarious.

"So?"

"So he was detained. He was still earning money at the beginning, but he was soon fooled. The people of Yule Casino found a clan member working in the county and asked him to send a message back to prepare a ransom, otherwise they would chop off his hand and take over the butcher shop."

"How much?"

"One hundred taels of silver."

"..."

Chen Nuo shook his head, "This person, whether good or bad, it's okay, only stupid ones will get into trouble."

"Don't let anyone tell my uncle about this, we can handle it."

"Yes."

Sitting on the recliner, Chen Nuo began to think about this matter.

First of all, is this a trap?

No, the Chen family is only now prosperous, and Chen Le and that woman have hooked up before.

Then, should we save him?

A member of the clan who has made no contribution to the family, is unfilial to the elderly, and is involved in gambling for a woman. To be honest, in Chen Nuo's eyes, the only value of this person is to live as a breeding pig and provide life points.

Compared to one hundred taels of silver, not saving is actually the best choice. He is not worth the price, but the butcher shop is.

Moreover, this person is the grandson of the great uncle...

It is impossible not to save him...

So in the end, how to save him?

Pay money?

Kidnap him?

Or, use connections?

"It's really annoying."

Chen Nuo looked unhappy.

Chen Li nodded in agreement beside him.
