Chen Qi shook his body and said with a pale face: "Mom, let's go in and talk first."
Mrs. Chen took a look at her son and felt that this son seemed to have lost a lot of weight since the last time they met. Not only did he lose weight, but his whole person also changed, as if he had experienced a serious illness.
Taking Chen Qi into the house, Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Qi: "Son, why did it take you so long to come back this time? And what good things did you bring to mother? How much silver did you bring back? Do you have five hundred taels?"
Before Chen Qi could speak, Chen Qi's questions popped up one after another. Chen Qi felt his heart sinking as he listened to her questions.
His current state can be seen even by an outsider, right? But his mother didn't seem to see anything. She only cared about how much money he brought back and what he brought back.
People in the Chen family gradually learned that Chen Qi had returned, and hurriedly went out, looking at Chen Qi with bright eyes.
Chen Qi had seen this kind of sight many times, but this time it was extremely dazzling to him.
"Second brother, what did you bring back? Why did you have the nerve to bring back only fifty taels last time? What can you do with fifty taels? You must know that our family is a person of status now. If we knew that you were an accountant, we would be in trouble If you take so much money home, you will be laughed at."
"What my sister-in-law is saying is, second brother, were you just begging for money last time you got fifty taels of silver? You only had fifty taels of silver and nothing else."
"That's right, brother, don't just keep the money to yourself, right?"
“…”
Chen Qi looked at their faces without saying a word. He originally had a little expectation in his heart, but now it all turned into coldness.
How on earth did they say such obvious things
Chen Qi looked at his eldest brother's family and his third brother's family who kept clamoring, and suddenly felt what he had done in the past two years.
"enough."
Everyone who was talking enthusiastically suddenly heard Chen Qi's words, subconsciously closed their mouths and turned to look at Chen Qi.
But it was only for a short while. Chen Qi's sister-in-law glared at Chen Qi and said very dissatisfied: "Chen Qi, what do you mean? You actually yelled at your sister-in-law."
"That's right, second brother. People who don't know better think what happened to us."
Listening to the two people's strange words, Chen Qi laughed at himself: "That's my money. I gave it to you out of friendship. If I don't want to give it to you, that's what I should do. How much money have I given you in the past two years? Why? Aren’t you satisfied? The silver I got back in the past two years is at least two thousand taels. This doesn’t count the things you stole and sold. Why aren’t these things enough?”
"Enough? What's enough? It's not even enough to cover the family's expenses." The eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family screamed.
If it were an ordinary family, this amount of money would be enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing, but it turns out that the Chen family is the best. After they have money, they even wear rich clothes. They don't wear clothes that are not the latest style, and their hairpins are not good. Don't wear it.
Chen Qi looked at the clamoring Sister-in-law Chen with a sneer and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, if you want to spend money from now on, just go and earn it yourself, and don't come to me again."
"Chen Qi, what do you mean?" Mrs. Chen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, her cloudy eyes full of sternness.
Chen Qi suppressed the self-mockery in his heart and looked at Old Mrs. Chen calmly: "My boss found out that I took things from the workshop, including where you sold them to, who sold them to, and how much they sold for." , who the buyer was, everything was investigated clearly, because of this I was driven back by the owner, who said that if we can’t make up the money from the sale, our family will be put in jail.”
After speaking calmly, Chen Qi looked at the family in front of him calmly.
Sure enough, after listening to what he said, Mrs. Chen was the first to go berserk: "What did you say? She already knew it? Chen Qi, you are a waste, you can't do this well, why should I keep you?" Why don't you die outside and come back to drag us down?"
