in the yard
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin, puffed her cheeks, and said angrily, "You want me to pay Chen Jing, but I don't want to give him money."
Chen Jing caused a disaster by himself, why should he help? He didn't hit the rocks and he was good enough.
"I heard that Mrs. Chen said that if you don't pay him, she will hang herself at the door of the store." The matter of the Chen family has become quite a big deal, and it has spread in the village. Recently, people from the village came For delivery, I will mention it to Lu Lin.
Chen Xiaomi said indifferently: If you want to die, let her die. "Dead old woman, it's good to die! It's clean to die."
Lu Lin said helplessly: "If she dies, it will be very troublesome."
The etiquette is very strict in this place, this dead old woman really hanged herself in front of their shop, others don't care about their past festivals, they just say that Chen Xiaomi is not filial.
"She's just talking casually. Don't I know her well? In the past, my father didn't listen to her, so she would spend all day looking for death and living a few times a month." However, his old man just followed the old woman's tricks, the old woman If he makes a fuss, his father will be out of control.
Lu Lin rubbed his forehead, and said, "You and the Chen family only broke up verbally without any real evidence. This is an opportunity, and you can use this to coerce them into writing a divorce letter." If it interferes, the matter of the old man and the old lady will not affect them in the future.
When you arrive at a place, you must follow the rules of that place. Although Lu Lin thinks that this place is stupid, but in such a big environment, if you are unable to challenge this kind of rules, you can only endure it for the time being.
This Huaxia Commercial Bank is under the name of Chen Xiaomi. Lu Lin is always worried that this matter will be exposed. Once this matter is exposed, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Chen Xiaomi thought for a while and said, "One hundred taels is too much."
Lu Lin curled his lips and said, "Of course it doesn't cost a hundred taels." If they give the money too readily, people will inevitably take it for granted. "Take this opportunity to get rid of the house in the country."
Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, "Do you want to sell the house?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's right, we don't live in this country house, and it's meaningless to keep it locked there."
Lu Lin has been to the countryside several times and found that there are some problems with the house. Someone should have sneaked into their house when they were not at home.
"We spent a lot of money on this house at the beginning! It's a pity to sell it casually." Chen Xiaomi muttered.
Chen Xiaomi blinked. Lu Lin also spent a lot of effort to repair the house.
Lu Lin sighed, and said, "If we develop in other places in the future, the houses in the village will definitely be occupied by other people."
The third child of the Chen family has two sons, Chen He and Chen Qu. The eldest son, Chen He, seems to be getting married soon.
The Chen family's house is not enough, Chen Laosan seems to have his eye on their house, he doesn't dare to move right now, but after a long time, they have been developing in the town, Chen Laosan took people to live in it It's also possible that when the old lady lies down in the house, he can still pull her out by force.
Even if he pulled him away for a while, he couldn't watch him every day at his hometown. The old man was old, and if he bumped into him, he would be in big trouble.
There are too many bad things going on in the village, the elders of the Lu family and the Chen family are not easy to mess with, and Lu Lin doesn't like the countryside very much.
Lu Lin thought that it would be better to sell the house now than to be in trouble at that time.
Chen Xiaomi scratched his head, the house in the country was his escape route, and Chen Xiaomi was still a little bit reluctant to ask him to sell the house suddenly.
"This, let me think about it again." Chen Xiaomi thought to himself: This house was built with a lot of effort back then, I knew it would turn out like this, and I didn't need to spend so much effort back then.
Grandma Shen was a little surprised when she knew that Lu Lin wanted to sell the house.
"A Lin, are you so tight on money?" Grandma Shen asked.
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the houses in the countryside are not live in, and it's a waste to keep them empty."
Grandma Shen nodded approvingly, and said: "Yes! It's useless to close this house. If you go to the countryside and want to find a place to stay, you can live with Grandma."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Alright."
Grandma Shen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ah Lin, the one who owes the money is Chen Jing, and it has nothing to do with you."
The fact that Chen Jing owed money had already reached Grandma Shen's ears.
This matter is now the favorite topic of discussion among the villagers. Recently, when many villagers came to deliver goods, they tested Grandma Shen's tone and wanted to know whether Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi would give Chen Jing money. Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin How much money did you earn and how much money did you pay
Many people expressed their sorrow for what happened to the Chen family.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Grandma, I know." He didn't intend to let the Chen family take whatever they wanted, at most he would pay half of the money.
Lu Lin squinted his eyes, a little speechless flashed in his heart, and thought to himself: The second elder of the Chen family is really eccentric! Chen Jing caused such a big disaster, but the second elder is willing to clean up the mess for him. Forced his son to go hunting in the mountains.
Chen Xiaomi thought about Chen Jing's matter, he should be found sooner or later, but if the Chen family didn't find him, he would act as if he didn't know anything.
Before Chen Xiaomi could figure out how to deal with the Chen family's affairs, news came from the Chen family, saying that the patriarch had invited her.
"The patriarch of the Chen family is looking for me!"
"The patriarch!" Lu Lin scratched his head. The power of the patriarch is also very great, and he should give some face. However, they are now living in the town, and the patriarch can control only a limited amount.
The Chen family didn't know how they did it, but they actually invited the patriarch of the Chen clan to come forward. The old patriarch was very old and seemed to have ignored things for a long time.
"The Chen family is going to hold a clan meeting in the ancestral hall." Chen Xiaomi pouted, showing limited respect for the patriarch.
Lu Lin frowned, and said, "The Clan Association is really mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people."
Chen Xiaomi squinted his eyes and said: "Maybe the old man gave the patriarch a gift, it should be a gift." Most people in this village sweep the snow in front of their own houses, and he doesn't live in the village regardless of other people's tiles being covered with frost. Yes, the patriarch also specially asked someone to bring him a message, it must be a gift.
"Very likely." Lu Lin thought to himself: The patriarch also needs to eat. There are several patriarchs in this village, and the lives of many patriarchs' families are average.
The news that the Chen family was going to hold a clan meeting suddenly spread in the village.
The village is very curious about the Chen family association.
"Why is there a clan meeting all of a sudden?"
"It's probably because of Chen Jing's affairs. Chen Jing has borrowed so much money, and it has to be resolved."
"Why does Chen Jing owe so much money? The old lady Chen said that Chen Jing was deceived, but she didn't explain clearly how she was deceived."
"Let me tell you, don't tell anyone else that Chen Jing bought fake exam papers, that's why he owes so much money."
"Fake exam papers, cheating in the spring exam!"
Several people who heard the truth couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
The Lu family and the Chen family had been feuding for a long time. The Chen family was unlucky, so the Tang family naturally had to step up and step on it. Hearing his son's speculation from Lu Chengyu, the Tang family exposed the truth.
It's not easy to say it clearly, but it has been circulated in private.
the next day.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin went to the countryside together, directly to the ancestral hall of the Chen clan.
"Xiaomi, you're here."
"Brother Xiaomi, long time no see."
The Chen clan held a clan meeting, and many other clan members came to watch the excitement.
Chen Xiaomi has been living in the town now, and it is rumored that he rescued the big boss in the town, and many people in the village rely on Huaxia Commercial Bank for food, so whenever Chen Xiaomi appeared, someone came up to make friends.
As soon as Chen Xiaomi entered the house, he saw many old people in the clan who were not young.
When Mrs. Chen saw Chen Xiaomi, she looked over sharply.
Chen Xiaomi was wearing a light blue robe, her hair was tied up with a crown, and she looked very energetic.
In Mrs. Chen's impression, Chen Xiaomi was still a brat in tattered clothes. Seeing Chen Xiaomi change so much, she felt very uncomfortable.
The space in the ancestral hall is limited, only a few elders of the clan can sit, and the others can only stand.
Chen Xiaomi belongs to the younger generation and can only stand.
"Xiaomi!" Chen Qiye, who was sitting on the side, looked at Chen Xiaomi and said.
Chen Qiye is over seventy years old. He is an old birthday star in the village, and his seniority is very high. This time the clan meeting invited him.
Chen Xiaomi said flatly: "Master Qi is too much for the prize, I'm just trying to make ends meet, trying to make ends meet."
"Xiaomi, you should have heard about your cousin. After all, you are relatives and connected by blood. You are the only one to help with this matter." Chen Ding looked at Chen Xiaomi and said.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at the patriarch, and said calmly: "I don't understand what the patriarch said. What happened to Brother Chen Jing? Brother Chen Jing read sage books and received the teachings of sages since he was a child. He knows a lot more than I do. Now, where do you need my help!"
Old Master Chen sighed and said, "Xiaomi!"
Lu Lin frowned when he heard this, Mr. Chen's heart was too biased, and it was too much to give Chen Xiaomi the name of dying as soon as he came.
Lu Lin said in embarrassment: "Old man, is Brother Chen Jing going to die? If he is sick, he should go to the doctor. If someone wants to kill Chen Jing, he should report to the police!"
When Mrs. Chen heard what Lu Lin said, she suddenly exploded, "Shut up, do you have a place to speak here?"
Chen Xiaomi glanced at the old lady and said, "Grandma, you are still in good spirits! From the looks of it, Brother Chen Jing shouldn't have had any serious problems, so I don't need to worry about it."
The patriarch glanced at Mrs. Chen, and said angrily, "Say a few words less."
The patriarch frowned. They called Chen Xiaomi here and expected Chen Xiaomi to pay for it. As a result, the old lady put on airs as before.
The patriarch also saw that Chen Xiaomi was pretending to be stupid. Chen Ding didn't believe what happened to Chen Jing after so many days, and Chen Xiaomi didn't know about it.
"Your cousin owes a hundred taels, you can help me pay some, otherwise, those people might kill your cousin Chen Jing!"
Chen Xiaomi said unhappily: "Patriarch, I just gave birth to a baby, and my own baby can't afford it. Do you want me to starve my son to death and subsidize Brother Chen Jing?"
"It's just a little Shuang'er." The old lady was a little disdainful when she heard Chen Xiaomi talking about her son. From the old lady's point of view, Xiao Shuang'er was not a son at all.
Mr. Chen glared at the old lady unhappily. They still want to ask Chen Xiaomi to pay, but his wife is putting on airs at this time. If Chen Xiaomi quits, the one hundred taels will really come from home. From now on, how will you live your life!
