Under the justice of everyone in the family, Chen Xiaomi and the Chen family formally signed the divorce letter.
The letter of severance stipulated that Chen Xiaomi would buy out the relationship with the Chen family with thirty taels of silver, and the Chen family would not be able to find the three brothers Chen Xiaomi for anything in the future.
The old lady had a stinky face and kept cursing bad luck.
It has been a long time since such a thing happened in this family, and many onlookers watched with relish.
After receiving the divorce letter, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi left Dashi Village.
Lu Lin glanced at the letter of divorce, and said: "With this thing, it doesn't matter if the old woman really hanged at our door in the future."
Chen Xiaomi said sullenly: "Almost, fifty taels of silver."
Chen Xiaomi felt that the price was a bit high for this divorce letter.
The house in the country would not be able to be disposed of for a while, so Chen Xiaomi taught the patriarch how to deal with it.
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and said, "Sometimes, certain investments are necessary."
Chen Xiaomi nodded, and said: "A few days ago, those bastards in the town approached Chen Jing and told Chen Jing that it was one hundred taels, but it has been a few days, and I am afraid it is more than one hundred taels."
Lu Lin nodded, and said, "Yes!" This is contaminated with usury, and if one is not sure, the family will be ruined. However, the matter of getting the divorce letter has nothing to do with them.
Lu family.
Wang shi said depressedly: "Chen Xiaomi actually sold his house in the country for thirty taels of silver. This Li shi is really shameless."
Wang's cursing was not really to complain to Chen Xiaomi, but to feel sorry for Yinzi.
Thirty taels! The Lu family has been living a tight life recently. One tael of silver, the Wang family also values it very much. Before, the Wang family wanted their son to do hard labor for the sake of one tael of silver, which made Lu An very resentful.
In order to repay Chen Jing's debt, Chen Xiaomi paid thirty taels at once, which really made Wang's heart ache! In Wang's eyes, Chen Xiaomi's money is Lu Lin's money. It should be used to honor her, how could it be used for nothing by those in the Chen family.
Feeling dissatisfied, Mrs. Wang walked out of the village, calling Chen Jing a bastard who wanted a young boy who had left home to pay back the money he owed for buying the test papers.
Chen Jing owed one hundred taels of silver, which was an astronomical sum in the eyes of the villagers.
The villagers were also curious about why Chen Jing owed the money. The Chen family was vague, and the villagers became even more curious about the "insider story" suddenly revealed by the Wang family, which aroused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
As a matter of fact, the Tang Corporation had leaked the "inside story" secretly before, but because it was private, many people still didn't know about it.
The effect of the Wang family's fanfare is still amazing.
If you are caught cheating for personal gain, you will not only be banned from the exam for life, but you will still be imprisoned if you fail.
This old lady Chen originally wanted to hide it, but in the end, she was picked out of the inside story, and she couldn't help being angry.
However, the Chen family was too busy wiping Chen Jing's ass, and had no time to trouble the Lu family.
Chen Xiaomi's house was finally decided by patriarch Chen Ding, who sold it for seventeen taels. Because the sale was urgent, the villagers did not pay a high price.
Chen Xiaomi also gave another thirty taels, which is forty-seven taels.
Mrs. Chen took out more than twenty taels of silver at the bottom of the press box, and there was still a gap of thirty taels. For the thirty taels, the Chen family sold three mu of land.
"Why did Chen Xiaomi's house only sell for seventeen taels?" Mrs. Chen said unhappily.
"Isn't that house a bit old? So, it's cheaper." Mr. Chen said.
"The patriarch sold this house to his nephew. I think he got a kickback." Old lady Chen said sullenly.
Mr. Chen sighed, and said, "Okay, it's not an extraordinary time, it's the only way!"
Old Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Yes, yes, everyone in the village is watching my jokes now. Before that, the Lu family's inferior land was sold for nine taels of silver per mu. Come to me. Those people are only willing to pay six taels, isn’t this bullying people for nothing?”
Mr. Chen took a deep breath. This usury does not wait for anyone. It is not an option to procrastinate like this. If the place is cheaper here, it can only be cheaper.
It is not easy for the old man to set aside so many lands, and his heart is very distressed.
Mrs. Chen reckoned that there was a shortfall of the remaining ten taels of silver, so she could ask her daughter's family for it.
Chen Chun'er was tricked back to the Chen family last time, knowing that the old man was fine, but after Chen Jing got into trouble, Chen Chun'er went back.
In Chen Chun'er's view, if Chen Jing could cause such a big disaster, then the Chen family is a bottomless pit. The two elders of the Chen family who were not satisfied originally asked their daughter to bring money, but in the end, no one was seen at all.
"Boss, Chun'er probably won't come back this time." Mrs. Chen said sullenly.
The last time Chen Chun'er came back, the old lady originally wanted to make a fortune from Chen Chun'er, but in the end, Chen Chung'er only brought two hundred Wen, which disappointed the old lady, "I think this girl doesn't plan to take care of the family life, It is impossible to expect her to send money, let's go to the door and ask for it."
Mr. Chen said with some embarrassment: "The one Chun'er married was a butcher."
The old lady said indifferently: "What's wrong with the butcher? Chun'er came out of my stomach. Chun'er has been married for so many years. This man is here during the holidays. I don't know how to come here to pay my respects."
Mr. Chen thought about the difficulties at home, and said: "Then I will find some people to go with me."
When the Chen family members arrived, the butcher Chen Chun'er was slaughtering pigs.
A big pig was disemboweled, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Butcher Zhang was covered in blood.
Butcher Zhang himself had a rough appearance, and now he was covered in blood again. He looked murderous, and shocked a few villagers who followed him to watch the excitement.
The butcher chopped the three-foot-long butcher's knife on the chopping board with blood on it, and the old man who wanted to beat the autumn wind had to run away in despair.
The villagers who went with the elders of the Chen family also felt unlucky.
The story of the elders of the Chen family who went to their son-in-law's house to ask for money, but came back in despair, also spread in the village, and the villagers saw another joke.
This old man Chen is too bullying and afraid of being tough. I heard that his son-in-law's butcher's knife flickered, which frightened him so much that his legs went limp.
"I heard that the head of Chun'er's family told the old lady that there is no money, and if you want meat, you can cut two catties and go away. Who is this old lady Chen? She was so scared that she didn't dare to ask for it."
When Chun'er went out, she didn't bring much money. It's been so many years. It's unreasonable to bother the daughter who is going out for the sake of her grandson!
"If you ask me, Chen Jing caused this incident, but he didn't show up. This person is too irresponsible."
"That's right, he looks like a promising person on weekdays, but when it comes to critical moments, he reveals his secrets."
"The second elder of the Chen family, I don't know what to think, but he praised such an irresponsible grandson to the sky."
The Chen family sold another mu of land, and finally solved the problem, because it took a few more days, and the money had risen to 105 taels. People are not easy to mess with.
As soon as the strong men came out, Mrs. Chen was frightened. In desperation, she had to ask a few relatives who went door to door to borrow some money for emergency.
This time, the Chen family took out all their family assets, sold five acres of land, and owed some foreign debts, which can be said to be broken.
Because of this incident, Da Fang and San Fang completely fell out.
Although the old man saved Chen Jing's life, he was completely disappointed with Chen Jing, and he didn't want to send Chen Jing to school again.
"The Chen family's family background is really rich!"
"That's right, but after selling five acres of land, life will be tighter in the future."
"This old lady has so much money in her hand, she was still crying poor. When Chen Xiaomi and the others just left the Chen family, they slept in a cave!"
"With so much money, the old lady sold her grandson to be her servant before, which is too cruel."
"The Chen family originally wanted to find a daughter to contribute a share, but Chen Chun'er is a butcher in charge of the family, which is terrible."
"It's very fierce. I heard that on the day the Chen family went, the butcher slaughtered a pig weighing more than two hundred catties, and the blood was all over the ground. The two elders of the Chen family were frightened and didn't dare to speak. "
"Chen Xiaomi sold all the houses in the country, so he doesn't plan to go back to the village in the future!"
All the villagers were quite sympathetic to the Chen family's sudden disaster, but seeing that the Chen family seemed to have solved the matter without much injury, they became sour again.
Chen family.
"Father, Chen Xiaomi sold the house!" Chen He asked.
Chen Shouren nodded, and said, "That's right, I'll leave it to the patriarch."
Chen He said a little excitedly: "Father, grandma promised me that she would bring me the house."
Chen Shouren was also a little upset, "Isn't this something about your big brother, there's nothing you can do about it."
Chen Heman said angrily: "It's too unfair, and grandma is too biased. Why didn't he solve the trouble himself caused by the hall brother?"
Chen He took a fancy to a girl from a neighboring village. Recently, the two families were negotiating marriage. It was almost settled, but when Chen Jing's incident broke out, the woman said to look at it again. In fact, Even if the woman agreed to continue the marriage, the Chen family would not be able to offer the dowry.
Originally, Mr. Chen agreed to give Chen He eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift, but when Chen Jing's incident broke out, the family spent all the silver to solve Chen Jing's problem.
Chen Shouren looked at his son and felt apologetic, but the family's money was all spent, and there was no money left.
Chen Shouren was also a little anxious about his son's marriage. According to the original situation, many people were willing to marry in. However, the family has just gone through the incident of Chen Jing, and their vitality has been greatly damaged. Everyone in the village knows the basics. Someone will be willing to marry.
If you wait a few more years, it will be difficult to find the age of your son.
Chen Shouren was worried about his son's marriage, and hated Chen Jing so much.
