Chen's
"Father, you can't just leave him alone!" Chen Shouxin said a little excitedly.
With a cold face, Chen Shouren said: "Father, I have already said that my eldest nephew is not suitable for studying. He stutters even in the examination of a child student. How can he pass the examination of a scholar, let alone become a master of juren."
Chen Shouxin looked at the third child full of annoyance, and said, "Third brother, what do you mean? You say such things at this time."
Not to be outdone, Chen Shouren said: "Brother, what Chen Jing owes this time is not a few taels of silver, but a hundred taels! This family's land may have to be sold for more than half to make up for the money, but the family If you really want to sell all the land, what will you eat in the future? Big brother, do you want to starve to death the whole family, parents, for your son?"
Chen Shouxin said disapprovingly: "How can you say that it is so serious that a hundred taels is not serious? Boss, if you don't think it is serious, then you should pay your son back the money yourself, don't beg your parents."
"Ah Jing is also your nephew, do you want to watch him being beaten to death? Why are you so cruel!"
Chen Shouren said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, the incident caused by your son will force the whole family to death, and you think I'm being cruel?"
Mr. Chen looked at the two sons who were facing each other, sighed, and said, "Okay, don't quarrel, or let's join together!"
Chen Shouxin said angrily: "Seriously, fourth sister, to come to see you, you only brought two hundred Wen."
Chen Shouxin was still a little apprehensive about the butcher Chen Chun'er married, so he didn't dare to say it directly, he just said, "Father is sick, let Chen Chun'er come back and have a look."
As soon as Chen Chun'er came back, she was asked by the Chen family to detain her. The family asked her for money, but Chen Chun'er only brought two hundred coins, and finally gave them all to the Chen family, so that she was able to escape. Chen Shouxin felt that Chen Chun'er did it on purpose.
"Father, you really want to sell the land!" Chen Laosan asked
Old Master Chen sighed, and said, "Just sell a few acres, and then look for millet."
The old lady Chen said excitedly: "Chen Xiaomi has a lot of money, if he is willing to help, we don't have to sell the land."
Mr. Chen glared at the old lady, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you don't know what kind of temper Xiaomi is!"
"I can't live through this day. If he doesn't want to pay the money, I will hang myself in front of his shop. I still don't believe that I can't cure him." The old lady howled dryly.
Chen Shouxin nodded, and quickly said, "That's right!"
Chen Shouren was consistent with Chen Shouxin on Chen Xiaomi's issue. Chen Shouren really didn't want to give Chen Jing the money, but the family couldn't really do nothing. With the style of a person who puts seals on him, I'm afraid he won't let it go.
Therefore, in the current situation, if Chen Xiaomi is willing to pay more, then they can pay less. If Chen Xiaomi pays all of them, that would be even better.
"Father, what do grandpa and grandma say!" Chen He asked hurriedly when he saw Chen Shouren entering the room.
Chen Shouren sighed, and said, "Master, grandma is planning to protect Ah Jing."
Chen He said unhappily: "Father, Brother Datang owes a hundred taels of silver this time! It's a whole hundred taels! This whole family has worked so hard to farm the land, and it's just a year of hard work. With an income of more than twenty taels, this big cousin owed a hundred taels all at once, what is the whole family working so hard for!"
Chen Shouren sighed, and said, "Your grandpa and grandma have no choice but to protect him. Your cousin borrowed usury money, and you can't pay it back. Even if your cousin dies, those people won't give up easily." .”
Chen He gritted his teeth, a bit of hatred flashed across his eyes.
There was an uproar about Chen Jing being found at the door of his house and beaten up.
Many people in the village were curious about what kind of trouble Chen Jing had caused, and he was beaten up.
"It seems that Chen Jing borrowed a hundred taels of silver from someone."
"It is said that it was originally fifty taels, but now the interest rate has been rolled to one hundred taels."
"The people in this town are too dark-hearted. How long has it been! Why did they roll to one hundred taels?"
"What the hell did Chen Jing do to owe so much money! Could it be that he is addicted to gambling? There is a gambler in the village next door. His relatives don't recognize him. He took his parents' coffins to gamble, and his family was ruined. !"
"My dear, I owe a hundred taels of silver, how can I pay it back!"
"I heard that Chen Chun'er was also called back, and he should be counting on Chun'er to help pay back some."
"Chen Chun'er has been married for so long, how can she be expected to pay?"
"Is there no other way, this is one hundred taels!"
Once the incident with the Chen family happened, the Tang family felt better. The Chen family and the Lu family were originally big families in the village, and the two families were secretly arguing. A while ago, the Lu family had been unlucky, but the Chen family was peaceful. Tang felt very uncomfortable. Hearing that Chen Jing suddenly owed a hundred taels, Tang felt rather gloating.
The focus of the villagers' discussion also shifted from Lu Chengyu's failure to the money owed by Chen Jing.
"Cheng Yu, do you know why Chen Jing owes money?" Tang asked.
Lu Chengyu thought about it and said, "He may have gone astray."
Tang said suspiciously: "Wrong way?"
Lu Chengyu nodded and said: "I heard that someone secretly sold the test questions for the spring test before the spring test. False test questions."
Lu Chengyu encountered such a thing two years ago. He had a classmate who was mediocre but liked to show off. After getting drunk, the man said that he must be nominated for the gold list this time. If he is lucky, he will also be awarded a scholar first name.
Lu Chengyu found it amusing to hear that person's bragging, and learned that the person had bought the test paper after following the classmate's words. I checked the test paper bought by that classmate.
After entering the examination room, Lu Chengyu found that the test questions bought by his classmate were wrong. After leaving the examination room, Lu Chengyu found that the classmate was a little out of breath, cursing, but he was vague when asked by others.
His classmate bought fake test questions, but he didn't dare to say anything, and secretly swallowed the bitter fruit. The family is rich and powerful, although fifty taels is a lot, it didn't hurt his bones.
Lu Chengyu found that every year there seemed to be people selling "examination papers" secretly. This was already an old trick, but every year, students got involved.
This time Lu Chengyu heard that Chen Jing owed fifty taels, and got out of another one hundred taels, so he suspected that Chen Jing had fallen into the trap.
When Tang heard Lu Chengyu's guess, she couldn't help gloating, thinking that Chen Jing was just a fanciful person who wanted to use some heresy methods to get a title on the gold list. Tang completely forgot that Lu Chengyu had no good intentions in marrying Li Fangyue.
"I'm afraid the Chen family will be sad this time." Shaking his head, Tang said to himself: I'm afraid the Chen family will sell their land this time. During this period of time, many people in the village seem to have made some money by relying on the kang and making embroidery. Money, if the Chen family wants to sell the land, they don't know which family the land will fall into.
Chen Jing lay on the bed, feeling a little panic in his heart, and secretly scolded the person who sold him the test questions all over.
"Father, when will Grandma pay me back the money!"
Chen Jing was really hurt two days ago, thinking that those people were going to chop off his hands, he was terrified.
"Your grandma is trying to find a way, and your third uncle has been making trouble." Because of Chen Jing's debt, the conflict between Da Fang and San Fang has been very serious lately.
A bit of hatred flashed in Chen Jing's heart, Chen Shouren stood by and watched, making Chen Jing very angry.
"Why didn't you investigate carefully and just bought fake exam papers." That's a whole fifty taels! Although Boss Chen felt sorry for his son, he was very angry that his son owed such a large sum of money.
Chen Jing had a dark face. The person who sold his exam papers at the beginning said that he had a strong background. If he hadn't been tight, he would never have sold this thing.
Chen Jinghui's purchase of the exam papers has something to do with Lu Chengyu. Because Lu Chengyu married Li Fangyue, many people in the village thought that Lu Chengyu was a surefire candidate for the exam. When Chen Jing knew that there were exam papers, he thought that if he passed , Lu Chengyu didn't pass the exam, so how beautiful he should be!
The result was that he failed the exam, and neither did Lu Chengyu.
Boss Chen looked at Chen Jing, sighed, and said, "That's one hundred taels!" Boss Chen is a countryman who digs food in the fields, and this one hundred taels is an astronomical figure for Boss Chen. However, there is no way for this situation at the moment.
Old Mrs. Chen was sitting on the kang, sobbing softly.
Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Okay, why are you crying?"
The old lady said angrily, "This is one hundred taels!"
"Sell the land."
The old lady said excitedly: "How can you sell the land casually?" The Lu family has been selling land for a while, and the old lady Chen has been gloating, but she didn't expect it to be her turn so soon.
"If you don't sell the land, what can you do?" The old man sighed.
The old lady only felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes. For the one hundred taels of silver, she would have to sell ten acres of land. If so much land was sold, they would be poor households in the village.
The old man said sullenly: "Why is this Ah Jing so inconsiderate that such a thing happened."
The old man always thinks that Chen Jing has the most flexible mind. If anyone in the family can stand out, it must be Chen Jing. Therefore, he always favors the big house. Even after the death of the second child, the boss wanted to sell Xiaocai, so he also acquiesced. But he didn't expect Chen Jing to make such a big mess for him.
Even so, he couldn't let it go. The old man was in the village recently, and he heard people talking about Chen Xiaomi a lot.
Chen Xiaomi is now working in the town, and many people in the village make money by making embroidery for Huaxia Commercial Firm, so they speak highly of Chen Xiaomi. Seeing the grandsons who separated early from the family live happily, Mr. Chen also Can't tell what it feels like.
