"Second child, in front of your sister-in-law and a few brothers, I said a word of slapping your face, if you beat me and your mother, I will love you, I won't let you do dirty work, eat the best and wear the best. Your mother stuffed you with silver without concealment, and I also turned a blind eye, but look at what you have done? Let's go to that first...... In that place, you were beaten and almost lost your life, but you still don't have a long memory, and you borrowed a loan shark, didn't you take your whole family into the fire pit? The more Old Man Chen spoke, the more excited he became, and the cigarette pouch in his hand didn't hit the fire several times.

"The second child was deceived, where does he know the disadvantages of borrowing as a farmer." Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her second son and said dissatisfied.

"You're still biased towards him, and it's because you're biased toward him that you've become like this. Tricked into it? The black and white letters are pressed by the handprints. Old Man Chen's angry beard flew up.

Chen Zichang knelt on the ground and shivered.

Zhang glanced at it disdainfully, and seized the opportunity to ridicule Zhao: "Is the second brother an honest farmer, the second sister-in-law knows best, how can the honest people of our village go to the town to raise fans." ”

Zhao gritted his teeth and held back tears, full of hatred in his heart.

"There's nothing about you lazy." Mrs. Chen couldn't stand the ridicule of her second son, "I know best who my son is, I don't go to the town to raise fans because of Baozhu's black-hearted things, even this loan was instigated by him, I'll go to Wangshanwo, I'll see if my good sister-in-law actually raised such a black-hearted son." ”

Mrs. Chen stood up.

"You sit down for me." Old Man Chen snorted.

"Your son was deceived and you are still pretending to be a good person, my poor dick." Mrs. Chen began to cry.

Old Man Chen looked at Lao Gao in embarrassment, and Lao Gao's face was not shocked, as if the turmoil of the Chen family had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Mrs. Chen crying, Chen Zichang seemed to grasp a straw, walked to Mrs. Chen on his knees and cried, "Mother." My son is young and ignorant, he was deceived, I have cut off contact with Qingbi in Cuihualou, and I will serve my mother at home from now on. ”

There is no mention of loan sharking.

Mrs. Chen was even more soft-hearted, and screamed obediently.

The scene of mother's kindness and filial piety made the atmosphere freeze for a while.

"Dad, I was confused. Just spare me. Chen Zichang shouted at Old Man Chen with tears.

"You are confused, why are you not confused when you borrow usury, why are you not confused when you take the money to do flower things." Old Man Chen was furious, and waved his palm to give Chen Zichang a slap.

The crisp slap made the air freeze.

"You dead old man, why did you do it, son, don't you feel distressed?" Mrs. Chen pounced on her to stop it.

"If I don't hit him this time, I may cause some trouble next time." Old Man Chen pushed Mrs. Chen away, picked up his slap and wanted to hit him, but was avoided by Chen Zichang.

"Brute. Brute. Old Man Chen's voice trembled, and he chased after Chen Zichang and hit him with his head and face.

Old Mrs. Chen rushed over and hugged Chen Zichang and protected her tightly.

"If you want to beat him first, you can just beat my mother to death." Mrs. Chen shouted in distress.

Old Man Chen couldn't beat his wife, so he had to sigh heavily and sit back on the kang again.

"Uncle Chen, look at this money" Lao Gao brought everyone's focus back to the money.

Old Man Chen looked at Lao Gao's face was discouraged, and Li couldn't bear it.

"Two hundred and twenty taels of silver, second brother. Why are you borrowing so much money? Chen Zifu, who has always been honest and doesn't speak, couldn't help but open his mouth.

Chen Zichang lowered his head and did not speak.

"It's not about raising powder. You didn't listen to what your fourth brother just said, wrap up that green and red. Second brother. You are so pompous, don't talk about pretending to be an uncle outside with the money from the public middle school, and you also borrowed loan sharks, you think that everyone in our family can make money like, and you can mess around outside. Zhang's high voice spread throughout the courtyard.

"Mother, don't protect the second brother. He is not afraid that others will know about such shameless things. Zhang quenched a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Mother" Zhao looked at Mrs. Chen with tears in her eyes. She hated Chen Zichang to death in her heart, what could she pay back so much silver? She was afraid that Old Man Chen would let them figure out their own way, she was 110,000 unwilling to take out her private money, and now she could only stabilize Old Mrs. Chen and let this debt be reduced to the upper house. There's something for everyone.

"Second sister-in-law, don't wipe your eyes and tears, this debt is owed by the second brother, and it will be repaid by you. You have two smart girls in your hands, and you can make money by selling one of them if you don't have money. Zhang's big horn said.

"Milk, you have a word." As soon as Chen Xuemiao heard that she was going to sell herself, she was so frightened that she went straight into Mrs. Chen's arms.

"What nonsense, your father hasn't said anything about this debt yet." Mrs. Chen put her arms around Xue Miao and reprimanded Zhang.

There was silence in the room.

"Second brother, tell me what you borrowed this silver for, and do you have any leftovers in your hand?" Old Man Chen asked hopefully.

"No, there's nothing left." Chen Zichang's eyes dodged, and when he saw Old Man Chen's gritted teeth, he didn't dare to lie, so he poured out his words as they were, "Part of this money was rented in the town to support Qingbi, and the rest was gambled by me." ”

"Loser." Old Man Chen scolded.

"Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, the second brother has everything. In my opinion, there is a father like you, Qi Lin spends more than half of our family's silver every year to study at the White Horse Academy, and I am afraid that he is doing a living there in the name of reading that we don't know. Zhang exploded his voice.

"What nonsense?" Zhao glanced at Zhang, pulled Mrs. Chen's trouser leg and cried, "Mother, you have to be the master of the house." He is young and ignorant, what can I do if he is deceived of these silvers, I am afraid in my heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back, and I will arrest the master and put him in prison, so it will hurt Qi Lin. There will be an exam in the spring next year, and the teacher said that if he can't keep it, he is a showman, what can he do if he is affected by his father, our family doesn't expect him to be the official. ”

Zhao Shi looked at Old Man Chen through the gap between his fingers, and sure enough, his brows relaxed, Qi Lin is a grandson who spent a lot of effort to cultivate in the upper room, if it is because of this matter, it is not a trivial matter. Mrs. Chen's eyes widened even more, but no. Qi Lin is a weapon for her to fight in the ring with the dead Liu family in front of her, no matter what, she can't let her eldest grandson be wronged because of this matter.

"Mother, when Qi Lin comes out, your good days will come, and then you will be the wife of the official family." Zhao looked at the expressions of Old Lady Chen and Old Man Chen, and swept Zhang again. "At that time, not only will my father and mother be happy, but our whole family will also be happy, and even the children of the big egg, the second egg, and the third egg will also be the young master of the official family."

"His father, the second child owes a debt, let's admit it, but whoever is in the house is not from the Chen family, and if it is from the Chen family, they all have to bear this debt, and everyone has to pay it back together." Mrs. Chen was coaxed by the Zhao family and wiped a handful of tears. "In the future, when Qi Lin develops, you will all follow the blessings, and you will bear the debts together before enjoying the blessings."

Old Man Chen was silent, and it seemed that he acquiesced to this statement.

Cai and Li glanced at each other.

"That's not good, the money saved by our family tightening their belts is all for Qi Lin to study, and he should be good to us if he reads well. This debt is two different things, and it cannot be the same thing as enjoying the blessings of Qi Lin in the future. "Zhang is not confused at all when he encounters money.

"Yes, it's two different things." Chen Zigui echoed. He glanced at Li and said, "Count on Qi Lin to study." It's better to count on Qi An to study. ”

This sentence made Mrs. Chen fall down angrily.

Seeing that this family was talking endlessly, the smile on Lao Gao's face couldn't be contained, and he interjected in a gap: "I'm here to collect debts today, not to listen to your trouble." Chen Zichang, what did you say at the time, you said that your daughter was going to marry into the Ding Mansion as a grandmother, so I dared to lend you the money. Why can't you afford it now? ”

Xue Yao wants to marry into Dingfu as a grandmother? The news shocked everyone.

"Is this true?" Mrs. Chen asked Zhao.

Zhao looked embarrassed, answered yes and no, answered no and no, and froze for a while.

Old Mrs. Chen turned her gaze to Chen Zichang: "Second child, what's going on?" ”

"I see Xue Yao getting face in Dingfu. thought he was going to marry into Ding's mansion, and he talked nonsense casually. Chen Zi said in a long voice.

"It's a shadowless thing, you are ruining the innocence of your daughter." Zhao held the handkerchief and cried.

Zhang had a smile on his face: "Oh, this is a great thing, if Xue Yao marries into the Ding Mansion, let alone the grandmother, even if it is a room, three or five hundred taels of silver is a trivial matter." ”

When Zhao heard this, he hated it even more.

"I don't care what you say, anyway, the deadline for this profit is today." Lao Gao put on an aggressive face, "I don't have time to listen to you grinding your teeth here, now several families are urging me to borrow money, and the profit of more than two hundred taels of silver a day is enough for my family to eat and drink for a few days, you can't stand in my way." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything for a while.

Old Man Chen knew that the money was to be repaid, but how could he say that there was two hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Suddenly, Lao Gao seemed to remember something, stared at Chen Zigui and said with a smile: "Chen Zigui also borrowed fifty taels of silver from me in the name of Chen Zichang, and it has been less than a month. ”

Chen Zigui's brain exploded with a bang.

"What, fourth, fourth, you...... You're going to die. Mrs. Chen fell on the kang with a snort.

Old Man Chen's face was like ashes, and he was speechless.

"Dad, you borrowed it too." Zhang jumped up, sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Fourth brother, you black-hearted seed, why are you borrowing money in my name?" Chen Zi trembled angrily and pointed at Lao Gao, "Why did he borrow money in my name, I don't recognize this account." ”

"It's okay if you don't admit it, you don't divide your family, you don't divide each other, you borrow together to repay your debts." Lao Gao smiled.

After a long time, Old Man Chen asked weakly: "Fourth, what are you doing with this money?" ”

Mrs. Chen had already cried, took off her shoes and threw them at Chen Zigui: "The black-hearted seed actually harmed your second brother, and you can't die well." ”

The Zhang family was about to run towards Chen Zigui, it seemed that he was going to fight, but he was dragged by the Cai family and the Li family.

"What's the matter, I borrowed the money, and the second brother borrowed more than mine, so why didn't my mother say a word, and I started beating and scolding when it was my turn. I borrowed loan sharks, all of which I learned from my second brother, who raised flour in the town, but I didn't raise flour, I ate and drank. "Chen Zigui's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Zhang's heart felt slightly better, at least his own man didn't raise fans.

Mrs. Chen fell on her back again in anger, and simply lay on the kang and couldn't get up.

A quiet voice appeared at the window: "Auntie, uncle is looking for you." ”

The Li family went out for a while and came in again, smiled at Lao Gao and said, "Brother Gao, please come over." ”

The countrymen respect the scholars, and as soon as they heard that Chen Xiucai was invited, the old high school followed the Li family to the West Wing without saying a word.

After a cup of tea, Li accompanied Lao Gao into the upper room again.

"Uncle Chen," Lao Gao said with a smile, "I respect Chen Xiucai as a scholar, since he has spoken, the silver will give you a grace period of two days, and the profit of the two days will not be counted, and I will come to the door to get two hundred and ninety taels of silver two days later." ”

Although the silver will be returned after two days, after all, there are still two days to think of, Old Man Chen showed a grateful smile at Lao Gao.

After Lao Gao walked out of Chen's house with a smile, the upper room was noisy again. (To be continued......)
