Chapter 129: Quarrelsome
Yan Qinghong's family has a good life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, this is not bad, but it is only compared with other families in Dongping Village, and it has not yet reached the point of prosperity.
After Yan Jincheng was admitted to Xiucai, if he sat in the museum to teach, he could still save some money. But he was bent on preparing for the exam, studying in Dufeng Academy, sometimes making friends with his classmates, and not sitting in the library for a few days all year round, spending more money than making money.
It is almost impossible to come up with eight hundred taels of silver at once.
"How much money did you pawn? What about the other silver?" As soon as Chen heard about the money, he thought of the silver that Yan Jincheng said.
Yan Jincheng glanced at Gu's, "Mother, that pile of things didn't cost a few taels of silver." ”
"How many taels are not counted?
"Lady, you go inside and take out the silver, and collect it for your mother first. Yan Jincheng knew that her mother's problem was wrong, she didn't spend much, but the money was tight.
The silver couldn't be hidden, so the Gu family walked in and took out the more than eighty taels that Yan Jincheng pawned yesterday, as well as the more than one hundred taels of silver he took from Yuxiu's house.
Then, she took out a gilded hairpin and handed it to Yan Jincheng, "Xianggong, this is my dowry, and I have only kept this valuable one over the years, you can take it to the pawnshop and see how much it can be." ”
The Chen family was very satisfied with Gu's initiative to take the marry, and as a result, the silver that Gu handed over was a total of two hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver, "It's not even three hundred taels, Yuxiu's cheap hoof, dare to say that there are one thousand taels!"
Chen scolded twice and put away all the money.
Yan Jincheng came back soon and said that he had pawned three taels of silver.
Chen took it and threw it in the money bag, a total of three hundred taels, and there was still a shortage of five hundred taels of silver.
She didn't dare to delay, and pulled Yan Jinpeng to hurry back to Dongping Village, scraped together all the money in the family, and barely had four hundred taels, "God, this is going to force us to death! God doesn't have eyes, how can that nonsense not let her rot her tongue......"
"Xiucai Niang, what nonsense are you talking about? You didn't steal Xiuxiu's things?"
"Of course not, they have something for people to steal. Seeing that my uncle was arrested, I didn't know how to come out and tell the truth, this is a loss of conscience!" Chen sat at the gate and scolded in the direction of Yuxiu's house.
"Xiucai Niang, it really can't be fake, it can't be fake. When the time comes, the county lord will check it himself, if you don't accept it, it's useless to scold in the village, you have to go to the yamen to scold. Aunt Hong was washing clothes by the dripping pool, and when she heard Chen's scolding, she said sarcastically.
"That's right, what's the use of scolding, if you don't have a weak heart, you will swear a poisonous oath, whoever takes it will cut off your children and grandchildren, and your hands and feet will rot. Sister-in-law Rong answered on the side.
Chen choked, she was still in awe of ghosts and gods, how dare she really swear by a curse.
In the evening, Yan Jincheng didn't care about the ugliness, took advantage of the hazy night, and secretly went home.
Yan Qinghong was taken away from the village, stayed in the town for a while before being sent to the county, and Tian Yue took him to meet him in the afternoon.
Tian Yue has already revealed in his words that after the county magistrate returns to the Yaya, he will definitely let people search at home and pawnshops, if it is verified, Yan Jincheng's loss of fame is still a trivial matter, and the life of the father and son is a big deal.
Moreover, now it's not just the bitter lord to withdraw the case, this kind of big case of stealing thousands of taels of silver, if the county magistrate cracks it, it is a political achievement, even if the bitter lord doesn't sue him, the magistrate will not be willing.
Yan Qinghong still spared his life in the end, and asked Yan Jincheng to go home to raise money, if he didn't work, he would sell the house and land, and then make up the money first.
Chen had no choice but to let out the wind and say that he wanted to sell his house and land.
Han was naturally unhappy, but in the end it was Yan Jinpeng's father, she couldn't say that she wouldn't save people, right?
In the end, the three of Chen's mother and son finally got together 800 taels of silver, and the family had 30 acres of fertile land, and 5 taels of silver were sold for 150 taels of silver per acre.
This kind of high-quality fertile land could originally be sold for eight taels of silver per mu. But as soon as the buyer heard that it was Yan Qinghong's family, he knew that they were going to make money to make money, so this bargaining was naturally ruthless.
They sold this set of courtyards for a hundred taels of silver.
Han's dowry began when she entered the door, and in order to study for Yan Jincheng, she was sold the dowry land one after another.
This time, Chen mentioned that the Gu family became a gilded hairpin to make money, meaning that the Han family also had to learn.
Han saw that this was all sold out, how could the family live? Yan Qinghong and Yan Jincheng did the sin, they didn't get any benefit from this house, and they had to sell her things again to repay the debt, so they didn't do it.
Chen scolded Han for being disobedient and unfilial, and Han asked Chen to talk about how much money Gu's sister-in-law had made over the years.
"Working in the fields, feeding the chickens and pigs, we're all busy inside and out. The sister-in-law's family lives in the town, the eldest brother and the father and son are studying and going to school, and they haven't seen a needle and thread back from home for all these years.
Yan Jincheng heard Han's words, and scolded Yan Jinpeng, "Jinpeng, you don't care about your daughter-in-law?
Yan Jinpeng said angrily, "Big brother, how much did your sister-in-law dowry?"
Yan Jincheng's face flushed with anger, "Okay, okay, are we relying on you to support us? What are you talking about? I don't care." He was so angry that he went back to the chamber and lay down.
When Han heard Yan Jinpeng's words, he felt a sweetness in his heart, for the first time in so many years, Yan Jinpeng stood on his side.
She saw that Yan Jincheng was going to hide in the room, so she quit, "Big brother, you make it clear, if you don't care, who are you going to let care? Leave it to Jinpeng? I'll go to the town to find my sister-in-law and make it clear." ”
Han's mother's family heard that something like this happened to their daughter, and they also rushed over, and when they heard this, they angrily dragged Yan Jincheng to the town.
The Chen family wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Han's mother, "Mother-in-law, my mother-in-law married into your family, but she didn't enjoy a day of happiness." We gave her five acres of land for the dowry, and now what? Your eldest son said no matter, okay, return the dowry, and we will take our daughter home. Let's let everyone judge, two daughters-in-law, why should we owe our Qiao Niang?"
The Chen family usually takes a small advantage, but Yan Qinghong has the idea of things. She quarreled but the Han family was too powerful, not to mention the fight, and in the end, it was the people of Dongping Village who helped persuade Han's mother to leave.
"All of you comment, our Qiao Niang married into her Yan family, got up early and worked in the dark, what about her eldest daughter-in-law? ”
For the Gu family's marriage, the people of Dongping Village really don't know, as soon as Han's mother revealed the bottom, everyone exclaimed, it turned out that the daughter of the official family was willing to marry, which is the reason.
