Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Lu’s Convenience

Chapter 91: Chen Jing borrowed loan sharks

Views:

After the spring test passed, Lu Lin's shop became popular again. A staff member bought a big rooster, the treasure of the shop, from their store at a price of fifty taels. It happened that the grandson of the staff member successfully passed the examination of scholar.

The grandson of that member was only fifteen years old, and he was the youngest among those selected this time, so he was called a successful young man.

The grandson of that member became a scholar at a young age, and everyone praised him for his talent and learning. He will definitely be named on the gold list in the future, and it is not out of the question that he will be named a lord and minister.

As soon as the member was happy, he had a big banquet for the guests at home and set up a running banquet for several days.

At the banquet, the member took out the treasure of the town store to show off, and said that it was thanks to the treasure of the town store that his grandson had such good luck, saying that although fifty taels is a bit expensive, it is still considered a thing It's worth it.

At this time, everyone rumored that the treasures in the store really had miraculous effects. This kind of rumor even spread to the surrounding villages and towns. Many people came here to buy dolls, and all kinds of dolls became popular again for a while.

Grandma Shen was making dolls in the house, feeling very happy.

The business in the store is good recently, so I have to rush to work day and night. Although it is a bit hard, I have a bottom line in my heart.

Magpie and Lin Chun are already ready to start, and Grandma Shen now only needs to be in charge of the fight.

The rooster doll was sold out, and without the little yellow chicken doll, everyone had to turn their attention to other dolls.

Lu Lin didn't feel at all that the dolls in his store had such a miraculous effect of helping people get into college, he thought it was just a coincidence, but he was still very happy to see the customers so satisfied.

The reputation of the town store's treasure is so great that it has even spread to the village.

Both the doll and the spring test are hot topics, and the villagers love to talk about it.

"This time, a scholar who is only fifteen years old has been selected in this assessment, that's amazing!"

"It's Xu Yuanwai's family in the town. It is said that when that member's grandson was more than three years old, the old man found a master to enlighten him. After all, it is different from our rural students."

"That's right, the price of this ink, paper and inkstone is not cheap. This boy in the country has to use a piece of paper tightly. The rich man in the town doesn't have so many worries."

When the villagers thought of Lu Chengyu, they sighed again. The villagers originally thought that Lu Chengyu should win this time, but they didn't expect to lose the ranking again.

"I heard that Xu's grandson was able to pass the exam this time, all thanks to the treasure of the town store."

"The treasure of this town store is just a bigger doll, and it doesn't seem to be anything special."

"Why not special, it's worth fifty taels."

"That is to say, these old masters have money and have no place to spend it. This is such a big doll, how can it use so much money?"

"I heard that when this treasure of the town store first came out, it was looted by a few old masters."

Wan Li was staying in the shop, and saw a woman staring at the shop from a distance, with a strange expression on her face.

After a long time, the woman finally came to Wan Li and said that he was Chen Xiaomi's aunt and wanted to see Chen Xiaomi.

Wan Li was surprised, and sent Qin Lang in to report.

Qin Lang got a letter from Chen Xiaomi and took Chen Chun'er into the backyard to meet Chen Xiaomi.

Chen Chun'er is ranked fourth, she is Chen Xiaomi's sister-in-law.

Mr. Chen is a bit patriarchal, and he doesn't care much about this daughter.

Chen Chun'er got married when Chen Xiaomi was very young, and Chen Xiaomi didn't have a deep impression of this sister-in-law.

Chen Chun'er was married far away back then, to a butcher, and the dowry was not low.

Butchers still make money very quickly, but after all, it is a bloody job. White knives go in and red knives go out all day. In the eyes of the people here, the butcher has a strong spirit and is not a good match.

Back then, after my sister-in-law got married, she received more than twenty taels of dowry. After she got married, my sister-in-law didn't have much contact with her family.

After Chen Xiaomi's father had an accident, my sister-in-law came back to the Chen family and cried a lot. Before she got married, the sister-in-law seemed to have a good relationship with his father.

The sister-in-law saw that the three brothers were pitiful, so she secretly stuffed him with a hundred coins, telling him to take care of himself and not treat himself badly.

For Chen Xiaomi at that time, one hundred Wen was not a small amount of money. Because of this incident, Chen Xiaomi had a good impression of this little girl who didn't know much.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Chen Xiaomi asked in confusion.

Chen Chun'er hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your grandfather and grandmother, you found my house two days ago."

Chen Xiaomi asked with some doubts, "Why?"

Chen Chun'er married a butcher, and Chen Xiaomi was very young at the time, so she didn't have a deep impression of that man. However, from the mouth of the villagers, I learned that the man my sister-in-law married was full of flesh and unshaven. of. It is said that many butchers have a bad temper and like to beat people.

Chen Chun'er didn't bring much dowry out back then, and because of the distance, the two families didn't move around much.

Some time ago, Chen Jing met a person who said that he could get the internal test questions for the talent test, fifty taels a copy.

Chen Xiaomi was full of surprise and said: "There is such a thing?" As for the test questions, it should come from the Futai, if someone really leaked the questions internally, the news would spread and cause a big mess. "It's fake." If there were such internal test questions, Chen Jing probably wouldn't be able to.

Chen Chun'er nodded, "It is indeed fake."

Chen Xiaomi secretly said: Sure enough, this test paper really spread out, that is a big event.

"Did Chen Jing believe it?"

Chen Chun'er nodded, "Chen Jing believed it, and went back to Auntie to ask for money, but Auntie didn't agree, so Chen Jing borrowed usury without telling his family."

In fact, Mrs. Chen was also very excited when she heard that Chen Jing had a way to get the test questions for fifty taels. However, time was too tight at that time, and the Chen family didn't have much money left, so they wanted to make up the fifty taels as soon as possible. If so, the land must be sold, unless Feng sells the land at a low price, otherwise the land will not be sold for a while, and it will be delayed.

The old lady was afraid of taking risks, so she reluctantly refused.

Chen Jing was fascinated by the prospect painted by the liar, and felt that success or failure depended on one move, so he borrowed usury without telling his family.

Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, "He's crazy!" Is this usury so easy to borrow? When the silver money is rolled over, the principal can be doubled in two months.

Chen Chun'er shook his head and said, "Ah Jing really believed it."

After Chen Jinghua bought the test questions for fifty taels, she felt that everything was going well. She just waited for the exam to win the first place in the scholar list.

As a result, when the test papers were issued, Chen Jing realized that he had been cheated. The content of the test was completely different from the test questions that Chen Jing had bought before.

Chen Jing realized that he had been cheated. When he went back to find the person who sold the test questions, that person had already disappeared. Buying the test questions for the assessment itself was a matter of opportunism. If he went to the government and said Maybe I'll go in first, the higher ups are also very strict about the matter of favoritism and fraud, if found to be cheating, at least they will be imprisoned, and at worst they will be beheaded.

Chen Jing had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.

When the results of the spring examination came out, Chen Jing was indeed not on the list. His family members were extremely disappointed because his name fell to Sun Shan, so Chen Jing never dared to mention the fifty taels of usury.

Chen Jing was apprehensive at the beginning, probably because of his power to borrow money, and never troubled him. Later, Chen Jing muddled through and simply reneged on his debts.

Most of the people who can put loan sharks at high prices outside are not ordinary people. If the borrowed money is not repaid, the other party will definitely not let it go.

A few days ago, a few people who were not easy to mess with at first glance came to the Chen family to ask for money.

Several people beat Chen Jing up and threatened Chen's family that if they did not hand over one hundred taels of silver within the time limit, they would cut off Chen Jing's hand.

Mrs. Chen has always been domineering, but when faced with a few men with big arms and round waists, she can't become arrogant and only knows how to howl.

Chen Xiaomi said calmly: "Really? It doesn't matter if you borrow it. Grandpa and grandma will pay him back." There are more than 20 acres of land at home. If all the land is sold, it will be worth two hundred Two more, as long as half of it is sold, it is more than enough to repay the debt owed by Chen Jing.

Chen Chun'er sighed and said, "What's this called?"

Chen Chun'er and the Chen family hadn't been in touch for a long time. Unless something important happened to the Chen family, Chen Chun'er would not be notified. Now that something happened to the Chen family, the boss of the Chen family called Chen Chun'er back. Of course, the boss of the Chen family It didn't say that Chen Jing got into trouble, but that the old man was sick.

Mr. Chen was already getting old, and Chen Chun'er didn't become suspicious when he heard that Mr. Chen was sick.

It was only after Chen Chun'er returned to the Chen family that he found out that the old man was not sick at all, he was alive and well, but it was Chen Jing who was dying because of a beating.

Chen Chun'er was wondering at first, how could she think of her as a married woman when the people in her family are fine, but later on, she realized that the reason why her family remembered her as a married woman was because her elder brother was in a hurry and couldn't help it, so he was in a hurry After going to the doctor, she insisted on paying a share of the money.

When Lu Lin came back, Chen Chun'er had already left.

"Xiaomi, I heard that sister-in-law is here." Lu Lin walked in and asked.

Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes!"

"What is she doing here, don't you keep her for a meal?"

"I stayed, but she said she would go back early, otherwise, it would be dark and it would be unsafe to walk at night."

When Chen Xiaomi told about Chen Jing, Lu Lin was amazed.

"Sister-in-law asked me to borrow five cents for the fare." Chen Xiaomi said.

"Five cents?" Lu Lin asked in surprise.

Chen Xiaomi nodded, "All her money was given to the Chen family to leave, so when Chen Chun'er heard that the old man was ill, she didn't think much, and went back to the Chen family directly. As a result, when she arrived at the Chen family, the family asked her for money Only then did Chen Chun'er realize that he had been fooled."

Chen Xiaomi told Lu Lin what he heard from Chen Chun'er.

Lu Lin rolled his eyes, feeling a little speechless.

"Chen Jing buys test questions. There are quite a few opportunistic people here. Those who buy test questions are probably not good things. People who buy such things will definitely not make a fuss. When they find that the test questions are wrong, they can only admit it. Bad luck."

When Lu Lin was in the academy, he also heard about buying test questions, sometimes you can buy real ones, of course, if you are unlucky, you have more chances to buy fake ones.

Chen Xiaomi curled her lips and said, "This idiot actually believes in such a thing that falls from the sky."

Lu Lin thought to himself: Why don't you believe it? Individuals always have a fluke mentality. In previous lives, many people believed that 68,000 can be turned into millions, tens of millions.

"If Chen Jingzhen owes a hundred taels, then your grandpa and grandma should come to our side to make trouble." Lu Lin said.

Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "It's probably the case."

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for the villagers. With the Chen family's wealth, it is not difficult to get this money together, but if you really want to take it out, it will definitely hurt your muscles and bones. .
