Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 169 Cephalosporin Mixed with Wine to Send You On Your Way

Seeing the hatred in Liu Damei's eyes, Chu Chen instantly understood her thoughts.

Since you don't want to see him again, then don't see him again.

Then he turned to Li Qinglian and asked, "Qinglian, what do you think? What should we do?"

"My husband, I only have two relatives in this life: my mother and you."

After saying that, she stopped talking and looked up at Chu Chen resolutely.

"Okay, I see what you mean."

After saying that, he went downstairs again.

Seeing Chu Chen return, Li Lao Er revealed a cunning look.

Then she quietly leaned close to Chu Chen's ear and whispered something.

“I see large horse-drawn carriages coming and going from your Mashan Village, my dear son-in-law. You must be in the salt business.”

"Oh, how did my father-in-law find out?"

Seeing Chu Chen's puzzled expression, Li Lao Er revealed a triumphant smile.

“My dear son-in-law, the other day I was strolling around the entrance of Mashan Village and I secretly saw the supplies that were left behind on the horse-drawn cart.”

"But don't worry, only I know about this, not even your brother-in-law knows."

Halfway through his sentence, Li Lao Er held up two fingers, gesturing for Chu Chen to offer him a cigarette.

Chu Chen smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes, then lit one for him.

Li Lao Er took a sip before leisurely saying, "My dear son-in-law, selling refined salt is a serious crime. Luckily, I saw it. If someone with ulterior motives had seen it and reported it to the authorities, the consequences would have been..."

Li Lao Er didn't say anything more, but he believed that Chu Chen would understand.

It means that I'm the only one who knows about this stuff. If you don't feed me, then one day, the news that you're selling refined salt on your own will spread.

After listening to Li Lao Er's calm and collected explanation.

Chu Chen laughed at him: "Oh dear, it has to be my father-in-law. If it were anyone else, this matter would have been exposed long ago."

But in his heart he thought: You're courting death. It seems this father-in-law is wicked to the core.

Threatening me without even investigating properly? I don't have the capability to sell this stuff.

But since you're using this as a bargaining chip, that's enough to prove Li Lao Er's character.

If I didn't have such great strength, I would have been intimidated by you.

"Of course, that's what happens when I'm your father-in-law. Don't worry, I'll keep this secret to my grave."

Seeing Chu Chen's enthusiastic manner, Li Lao Er was completely relieved.

He thought to himself: Kid, let's see if you dare not treat me like royalty this time.

Chu Chen waved Hu Zi over and said, "Brother Hu Zi, what are you standing there for? Prepare some food and drinks for your father-in-law."

Tiger glanced at Chu Chen. "Why does this kid keep changing his mind? Has he lost his mind?"

However, he didn't stop moving. Before long, a table full of steaming hot food was served.

Chu Chen even took out two bottles of 53-degree high-tech liquor, which was unprecedented for him.

Since that's the case, then I'll let you eat a few more meals.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Lao Er made no suggestion whatsoever about taking Liu Da Mei back with him.

They actually decided to stay in this villa.

How could this be? To Chu Chen, if you've threatened him, then you're an enemy.

So, taking advantage of the early hour, he spoke to Li Lao Er.

“Father-in-law, I see that your house is quite dilapidated. Why don’t I come and take a look at it for you this afternoon when I have some free time?”

"Could we see if we can improve things for you and build you a house like a son-in-law's?"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Li Lao Er's eyes immediately lit up.

This son-in-law is quite something; he's even thinking of building himself a house like this.

"Then what are you waiting for? The sooner the better, let's set off now."

Li Lao Er felt himself sober up instantly and grabbed Chu Chen, ready to leave.

"Father-in-law, please allow me to make some preparations."

After saying that, he went upstairs to the second floor and entered the tea room.

He casually pulled out a strip of cephalosporin capsules and a whole case of 53-proof liquor.

Then he went downstairs and said, "How can a son-in-law go to his father-in-law's house empty-handed?"

After saying that, he told Hu Zi to drive the mule cart, which carried the group of people outside.

On the mule cart, Li Lao Er was smoking a cigarette and chewing on the betel nut that his son-in-law had just brought out.

Looking at the case of wine at Chu Chen's feet, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Haha, so what if you, Liu Damei and Li Qinglian, don't like me?

With a little manipulation, this wealthy son-in-law will be completely subservient.

Tiger drove the mule cart very fast, and when he delivered the four of them to Li Lao Er's house, Chu Chen sent them back!

The brother-in-law didn't say much throughout the whole thing, just stared blankly at his father and wife.

Given how little the younger sister and mother liked the three of them, how did they manage to get their brother-in-law to suddenly treat them so well?

However, being an honest man, he chose not to ask or say anything.

As soon as the four arrived home, Li Lao Er's daughter-in-law quickly grabbed the meat she had just bought in town and rushed into the kitchen.

I had a small glass of that baijiu at noon, and it tasted really good; it left a lasting impression.

As soon as we got off the bus, of course the first thing we did was cut some meat and cook.

Chu Chen, meanwhile, accompanied Li Lao Er, circling the dilapidated house and offering his critique.

They are planning how to rebuild and how to make it more convenient and comfortable!

This action greatly satisfied Li Lao Er.

He seemed to see the rest of his life ahead of him, living a life of extravagance like that of a landlord.

As night fell, Li Lao Er's daughter-in-law called out at the top of her lungs, "Dad, brother-in-law, the meat is all stewed, come in and eat!"

She shouted with all her might, as if afraid that the neighbor wouldn't hear her.

Li Lao Er had smelled the aroma of meat long ago, but Chu Chen was busy planning his house, so he couldn't refuse.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's call, he immediately said to Chu Chen, "My dear son-in-law, it's getting late. Come with me for a few drinks."

After saying that, she pulled Chu Chen into the house.

Chu Chen sat at the table and deftly opened the wine bottle. As the aroma of the wine wafted out, Li Lao Er frantically inhaled the scent of alcohol that filled the air.

"I knew it! The wine my son-in-law brings out is never bad!" Li Lao Er said excitedly, looking at the wine in Chu Chen's hand.

"Haha, father-in-law, sister-in-law, my brother-in-law doesn't drink, so let's have a few more drinks!"

After saying that, Chu Chen picked up the wine cup and filled three bowls with wine!

Li Lao Er couldn't wait to pick up his wine glass and take a big gulp.

The daughter-in-law also picked up her wine glass, gave Chu Chen a meaningful look, and downed half a bowl in one gulp!

Meanwhile, Chu Chen's brother-in-law was quietly shoveling large chunks of fatty meat into his bowl.

Two rounds later, three wine bowls were empty!

Chu Chen took the wine glasses handed to him by the two men and filled the glasses for all three of them.

Just as Chu Chen was about to pour out the two wine bowls, some powder from the cephalosporin capsules fell steadily into their bowls from Chu Chen's wide sleeves!
