To the southwest, outside Chenjiazhuang Inn.
Early next month.
Chen Qing had woken up early, and Xiaoluzi had been pulled up by her in her sleepy state.
"He decided that he wanted to be the woodcutter."
"What?" Xiao Luzi was confused by Chen Qing's words.
Chen Qing pulled Xiaoluzi's leg and gently said to her: "That's wrong, he could just be that woodcutter."
Seeing Chen Qing's excited look, Xiao Luzi understood.
Seeing Xiaoluzi's confused face, Chen Qing continued: "Since he asks for marriage, he can't yell, so if he asks to leave, he can't stay."
She always believed that he was wrong and she had feelings for him, but it was already doomed. Since she couldn't change him, she had to change herself.
After waking up from her conversation with Xiaoluzi last night, she finally realized it.
"I beg you to accompany him to do something tomorrow. Once it's done, he's done."
You are like a rock, and I am like a pampas grass. The pampas grass is as tough as silk, and the rock cannot shift. Whenever she thinks of that sentence, Chen Qing's heart always feels cold.
Forget it, forget it.
Chen Qing dragged Xiao Luzi to the Chen Mansion early.
What makes Xiaoluzi feel gratified is that the eyes of Mingyue, that very weak woman yesterday, are already full of determination.
It turned out that although Zhang Jian was in charge of the family's finances and was not in charge of the incoming and outgoing expenses, all the land deeds and property deeds had been secretly hidden by Chen En.
Although Zhang Jian turned Chen Qing's room upside down, he found nothing. Although he is not the head of the family, the real power is really in the hands of the Chen family.
A large family like the Chen family naturally has many elderly people in the family. If Zhang Jian wants to truly control the Chen family, he needs the land deed of his family as support.
He originally wanted to wait for her to calm down and then coax everything to be fine, but last night he heard someone said that Chen Qing jumped into the river and was rescued, so he didn't have the nerve to go find her.
Thinking that after so many years of quarrel between husband and wife, Chen Qing would look back sooner or later. In his eyes, he was her god.
Mingyue's Chen Qing is indeed back, but there is a woman beside her who doesn't look like a good-natured woman. Zhang Jian went to greet Chen Qing with a smile on her face, but was slapped hard in the face by her indifference.
At that time, Xiaoluzi was more like a bodyguard, because compared to the gentle Chen Qing, Xiaoluzi was really a bit fierce, especially the green blood sword she used to dress up her pussy. Although it can't be pulled off, it looks gorgeous enough from the outside.
Chen Qing called her old housekeeper, and then asked all the elderly in the family to gather in the hall of her house. This was the first time in many years that Zhang Jian saw Chen Qing look like a master.
Xiao Luzi always stayed behind Chen Qing. She always felt that the woman in front of her wanted to announce something important, more like asking to arrange the disposal of the family property, and then she stayed out of the family. She seemed to really want to be the killer. woodcutter.
Sure enough, Chen Qing quietly asked the old housekeeper to bring the house deed, land deed, etc. She sorted the things in her legs, but she had not been exposed to such things for many years, and she didn't seem to understand them well, so she handed them to Xiaoluzi.
Although they have known each other for a short time, Chen Qing still trusts her very much. Firstly, she has saved her life, and secondly, that girl really knows more than him.
Xiaoluzi took the pile of things in a daze, so why don't you ask yourself to help her distribute them? Although Zhang Jian's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, the Baoshan family stopped him and said that the lady could arrange the things.
Then let’s have a guessing session. Let’s figure out the value first.
Xiaoluzi asked: "How much is the property deed worth?"
Someone answered.
"One hundred taels."
"Eighty taels."
Xiaoluzi and Chen Qing looked at each other. They were very satisfied with the answers. Although the answers were different, the maximum was one hundred taels.
Xiaoluzi picked up the stacks of papers and counted them. She asked, "One, two, three, four, five, six. That's fifteen pieces of land. How much is that worth per acre?"
At that time, the old housekeeper replied: "Generally, a piece of land is worth fifteen taels of silver."
One tael of silver is almost a thousand yuan. It seems that the Chen family is really a wealthy family. The total amount is more than three hundred taels of silver.
Xiaoluzi continued to ask: "Old uncle, I would like to ask, how much does your family spend in a normal month?"
The old housekeeper replied: "Except for banquets at home, the amount usually does not exceed fifty taels. The young lady's uncles each receive five taels of silver per month."
It seems that the Chen family is not extravagant, but they need to be more clear about it.
Xiaoluzi continued to ask: "Does the family have other livelihoods? How much is the monthly income?"
The old housekeeper replied: "Master Chen, please let me do the rice and grain business. I estimate it will be around eighty taels."
After hearing that, Xiaoluzi had an idea in his mind. She quietly told Chen Qing, "He helped me figure it out."
Chen Qing secretly leaned into Xiaoluzi's ear and said, "Sell them all for him."
After listening, Xiaoluzi continued: "Now the land deed is auctioned for one hundred taels, and the land is fifteen taels per piece."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from Didong replied: "How can this be so? They have no money."
People in the east began to talk one after another, saying that they had no money in the first place and that this method was inappropriate. Zhang Jian also came forward to persuade him, but Xiao Luzi and Chen Qing ignored them.
Xiaoluzi thought that she could take money from the pockets of a group of old people who were obviously rich but didn't know how to receive money.
Xiaoluzi shook the coupons in his legs and said, "Oh, I can't afford it if I don't have money. Then Miss Chen will sell it to rich people outside."
Someone said: "My girl is completely unreasonable."
In the eyes of these people, the family's thoughts have become deeply ingrained, similar to chewing on the old people, and it is nothing more than the tradition of the people at that time. But otherwise, it wouldn't work in Xiaoluzi's eyes. She wouldn't care if I had no money or was old.
"Okay, whatever we say, let them go." Pulling Chen Qing and holding the pile of bills, Xiaoluzi tried to walk out.
Nadong Ke made those old people, including Zhang Jian, anxious.
Xiao Luzi found it very funny to see them chattering and helpless. After all, the thing did not belong to Chen Qing. If she wanted to sell it by force, what could they do
Besides, after the thing was sold, Chen Qing had no idea what to do with it, so why did that group of people become so angry
"No, no, no, he's buying two pieces of land. He'll go back to his house and get the money."
"He has too."
It seems that they are richer than they thought.
Zhang Jian next to him was a little angry. There were so many land, and there were so many dealers on the land, and that family relied on those lands to make a living. If the house and the land were gone, what would happen
Seeing Zhang Jian, Xiao Luzi wondered if he could take advantage of him. "Qingqing, I asked my housekeeper to bring the account books, and he helped me study whether Dong's money was extra in the past two years." Chen Qing nodded, thinking that the girl in front of her was indeed smart enough, so she turned to call the housekeeper. Got the ledger.
The housekeeper was helping Chen Qing with the house deeds and land deeds, while Xiaoluzi had already begun to study the account book.
Although the writing brush is not very convenient to use, the calculation method of the ancients is extremely simple. Although you don't know the price, let's study the entry and exit first.
Xiaoluzi magically discovered that the last two months had actually exceeded his income, and most of that money had been spent on things. But isn’t it true that Xu’s family didn’t have access to the house? It wouldn’t be such a big expense.
Xiao Luzi quietly told Chen Qing about the situation. Chen Qing also thought it was strange, so she asked Zhang Jian face to face: "Brother Jian, why did I spend twenty taels of silver on fabrics for my home in the past two months and buy new copper coins?" Thirty taels, where are those things?”
When Zhang Jian was asked about it, he was a little embarrassed, because he didn't spend the money, so it went into his own pocket. Unexpectedly, Chen Qing would think of checking the accounts.
Zhang Jian replied, "I bought it. If I buy it, it will arrive in two days."
Xiaoluzi asked immediately: "Since the goods haven't arrived after buying it for so long, it's not an exaggeration to ask the boss to return it."
Xiaoluzi still refused to let him go, and if she hurt the man who was her friend, she would beg to pin him down.
"No, no."
Although Zhang Jian nodded, he felt very unhappy. I wonder where Chen Qing, who is usually soft and weak, found such a strong helper.
Xiaoluzi shouted loudly: "Then I won't retreat?"
Xiaoluzi's expression was very exaggerated, giving Zhang Jian the illusion that the woman in front of him could eat people.
Xiaoluzi was thinking about what to do if he ran away with the money, so that he would not be given any chance to escape with the money or something like that, so he said to Chen Qing: "Qingqing, I sent two people who are related to me. Dongren will follow."
Chen Qing nodded, called the two older guys, and followed Zhang Jian out to return the goods.
———
An hour passed, and the property and title deeds were almost sold.
Those people who say they have no money turn out to be quite rich.
Xiaoluzi encouraged the old housekeeper and his son to buy two pieces of land and wait for Zhang Jian to come back. As expected, Zhang Jian brought all the money back. As for where he got it from, Xiao Luzi and Chen Qing didn't want to know.
Now there was a pile of money and banknotes in front of them.
Chen Qing took a note and looked at it carefully, and then said to Xiaoluzi: "The bank notes in that bank are all from the Hongyang family. It seems they can be used everywhere."
Xiaoluzi nodded, thinking that so much money would be enough for Chen Qing to use for a long time, so he asked her: "What should I do with the money?"
When asked about it, Chen Qing really didn't know what to do. She looked anxious for a moment and said: "Xiaolu, he doesn't know either. He is responsible for the family's finances."
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoluzi looked at the people in Chenjiazhuang and asked, "How am I going to break up the servants?"
Dealing with mistresses and mistresses was indeed not a problem, but Chen Qing quickly thought whether she would be able to support them for the rest of her life.
Seeing Chen Qing's slightly embarrassed expression, Xiao Luzi quickly helped her out and said, "Please tell me what my future plans are."
Chen Qing lowered her head and said nothing. A closer look at her face showed that she was in trouble last month. She seemed to have made a big decision in her heart.
As she thought about it, her face became heavy and she lost the determination she had in the morning, and said, "He wants to get out of that village and see the outside world."
Xiaoluzi naturally also saw Chen Qing's entanglement. If he was excited about asking to leave earlier, but now is the time to really make a decision.
Because once you really take that step, it's hard to look back.
In this world, how many broken mirrors are reunited
"Qingqing, the Chen family in Mingyue is separated. There will be countless Chen families, Li families, and Wang families in Mingyue. They will definitely find their own livelihood. I don't have to worry too much about them."
Chen Qing nodded quietly.
"I can leave some money for them as a transition period to find a new owner."
Chen Qing nodded, took a banknote to the old housekeeper and said, "Well, old housekeeper, let me share it with the maids and guys."
The old housekeeper was excited for a moment and said: "Miss, how is that possible?"
But the old housekeeper understood Chen Qing's intention, so he took the banknote from her lap and said, "I would like to thank you, Miss."
Having watched Chen Qing grow up, the old housekeeper naturally knew why she was worried. Even if Mingyue sold everything, he would not tolerate her.
She deserves a better life.
Chen Qing smiled, and the housekeeper finally said: "Thank you."
Turning around, she said to Xiaoluzi again: "Xiaoluzi, let's go to the merchant's house with their silver and banknotes."
"Well, let me lead the way."
By the time he said this, Xiaolu had already put away the tickets and specially asked two guys to help pack them away.
Chen Qing and Xiaolu were behind the carriage, and Zhang Jian was behind the carriage.
Zhang Jian was arrogant all the way, "Qing'er, Qing'er, wait for him."
"Qing'er, Qing'er, does he really treat me?"
"Zhidong!"
"They could very well start over!"
"He doesn't take concubines anymore."
Zhang Jian chased her all the way behind, admitting her mistake and asking Chen Qing to express her love as a couple, but Chen Qing had already made up her mind that time.
Listening to Zhang Jian's voice behind him, Xiaoluzi shuddered unconsciously. At that time, you knew you had admitted your mistake. What were you doing before
Chen Qing murmured to herself: "When you are cruel to me, no matter what I do, he will never look back. But as far as he is given up by me, he is still the same person."
At this time, Chen Qing's sadness was beyond words, but it would eventually pass.
She smiled. She no longer cared about that man. What she cared about now and couldn't forget was the pair of innocent eyes when she woke up and the heartbeat of Luo Cheng that she could feel.
Soon, perhaps because he was tired from running, Zhang Jian stopped chasing him. Chen Qing thought to herself that that was all for him, so she asked Xiaoluzi, "Xiaoluzi, can he go south with us?"
Hearing what Chen Qing said, Xiaoluzi was extremely excited and replied: "It's not as good as he is, but in fact he is really not very good at taking care of those dolls." "
Chen Qing smiled softly: "He can."
At this moment, Xiao Luzi's eyes were full of surprise, and Chen Qing was full of admiration, and she even said: "Great, great!"
Then, Xiaoluzi said: "Then they exchanged the money and went to join Xiao Mafei first."
Chen Qing nodded and said softly: "Before, he had to write a letter. Xiaolu, I will wait for him."
Xiaoluzi asked with confused eyes, "A divorce letter."
Chen Qing was amused by her and nodded: "Yes. Letter of divorce."
Xiao Luzi also smiled happily, sincerely happy that Chen Qing was free from the scumbag.
