Hearing the conversation between the two women, Chen Erniu couldn't help but laugh inwardly, thinking to himself, "You have no idea that the old Chen Youtian didn't just slip and hurt his butt; it was I who kicked his butt until it swelled up!"
But he didn't reveal this, for fear that he would end up having to talk about how Sun Yuelan was almost taken advantage of by Chen Youtian.
Chen Erniu had promised Sun Yuelan he wouldn't say anything, so naturally, he wouldn't speak of it.
With nothing to do during the day, Chen Erniu pretended to catch crickets in the yard when in reality, he was pondering how to covertly lend a hand to Sun Yuelan and her daughter.
Their lives were truly hard, and Chen Erniu really wanted to help them.
But the difficulty lay in the fact that it was still not convenient for Chen Erniu to tell Xu Xiuxiu about this.
Otherwise, it would have been much easier to help Sun Yuelan through Xu Xiuxiu's assistance.
