Chapter 99: Debt Collection
Although it is not too serious to hit five boards, the Fan family has always been extremely arrogant, who dares to touch a single hair of her?
At this moment, she only felt that her butt hurt so much, as if it was cracked!
Fan originally thought that Wen Shang was a fool and couldn't say clearly, and he didn't know the situation at the beginning of the month, so he didn't let himself make it up?
But she never expected that she would know these at the beginning of the month, and she actually received five boards because of one sentence!
This anger began to run wild in his stomach, but Fan didn't dare to make a mistake at all.
Shocked by the applause, the county lord asked in a majestic voice: "Fan, did you take Father Wen's money, and how much did you charge?"
Wen Li trembled and pushed Fan's hand.
Fan hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "My lord, I did receive my eldest brother's money, and I received ...... It's a hundred taels!"
"One hundred taels, why did the couple say two hundred taels of silver at the beginning of the month?"
Many people in Wucun did know about the confiscation of the silver, but as for how much silver was collected, only the two of them and Wen Shang knew.
At that time, Wen Shang did see the silver in the wooden box, but he was a fool after all, and after such a long time, if he knew how much silver it was, Fan would definitely not believe it.
After all, Wen Shang has lived in the Wen family for two years, and Fan is still clear about Wen Shang's IQ.
"My lord Mingjian, my eldest brother really gave one hundred taels at the beginning, and the person who sent my nephew here said that he asked me to take good care of my nephew, until he died, and the rest of the silver taels will all belong to our Wen family!"
Wen Li heard Fan say this, although he was scared when he told a lie, but he also knew how many silver taels he had, except for the two of them, only Wen Shang knew.
Both husband and wife knew that Wen Shang was a fool, usually they told the fool what he was going to do the next day, and the fool would forget it that night, and they were beaten a lot for it, so it would be a fantasy if the fool could remember this matter now.
With a little more confidence in his heart, Wen Li rolled his eyes and spoke: "Yes, my lord, our husband and wife received one hundred taels and received one hundred taels, where did they become two hundred taels now?
The county magistrate asked Wen Shang again: "Wen Shang, is it one hundred taels or two hundred taels?"
Before coming to the yamen, there was an explanation of Wen Shang at the beginning of the month.
At the beginning of the month, he had already known that so much silver was absolutely impossible for Fan to admit it.
She glanced at Wen Shang, only to see him scratching his head and scratching his ears, as if he was thinking hard, and muttered, "It seems to be two hundred taels, and it seems to be one hundred taels...... I only remember my eldest brother telling me to my uncle and aunt...... One hundred taels ......"
He looks stupid and silly, and he has almost forgotten what he told him at the beginning of the month, but because he is really a fool, he really can't remember the events of the year, so the vague appearance is more like a good statement with the beginning of the month.
In fact, the two hundred taels of silver were also asked from Wen Shang after his head was injured at the beginning of the month, because he was injured at the time, but the person looked a little more sober than before, so the beginning of the month took the opportunity to ask these things clearly.
It's just that I didn't expect Wen Shang to gradually get confused again, and he didn't have the Qingming when his head was first injured, and he became fond of being coquettish and cute, and he was also first-class when he played Lai.
At this time, at the beginning of the month, she didn't care how much it was, and even if Fan really admitted that she had received two hundred taels at the beginning, she knew that she could only get back a small part of the money.
Compared with what a fool said and what a normal person said, the county magistrate naturally believed the words of a normal person more, so he asked Fan again: "How much money is left in this hundred taels now?"
How much can a fool spend in two years?
So when Fan said that there were still sixty taels left, the scene was in an uproar.
"Just now this fool's lady said that her husband has been a pig and a dog in the past two years, but now this person says that people have spent forty taels of silver in two years, this difference is too big, right?"
"That's right, even an ordinary family of three can't spend forty taels in two years!"
Fan Shi listened to this discussion, and only felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, but in the end, it was about money, and she retorted with a dead face: "You don't know, that fool eats a lot! He can eat two people's portions in one meal, and he is hungry fast!"
"And this fool is extremely unclean, every time he goes out in clean clothes, he comes back at night and is dirty! And the clothes are torn after a few days, I don't know how many clothes I bought him, do they all fall from the sky and don't cost money?"
"This fool costs two people money alone, and I took care of him for two years, shouldn't I charge some hardship fees?"
The county magistrate didn't answer this, but just asked the two at the beginning of the month: "What do you say?"
Wen Shang eats a lot of food, because he does the most work and the hardest!
And it's not that he doesn't like to be clean, but Wen Li always arranges the dirtiest work for him, he is honest, he does whatever he asks him to do, and he never shirks, so how can his body not be dirty?
It's just that she didn't bother to care about these at the beginning of the month, she is now anxious to build a house with money, and she doesn't want to entangle so much with the Fan family.
"Then return the rest of the silver taels to us. ”
Sixty taels of silver, even if you eat and drink well every day and don't do anything, you can live for three or four years, so now that he said that he wanted to return the money to Yue Yue and Wen Shang, Fan only felt that his heart hurt like a knife.
In her heart, this money has long been hers, and when she accepted this money, she never thought that one day she would take it out again?
The county magistrate closed the case, and the Fan family returned sixty taels of silver to the beginning of the month and Wen Shang today, and they never owed each other anything.
......
Both returned to Wucun and stepped into the Wen family again, and at the beginning of the month, they only felt that this time was really fast.
It felt like she was kicked out of the Wen family yesterday as if it happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, she actually came back to the Wen family as a debt collector.
Wen Lin went back to the White Horse Academy in Pingcheng yesterday afternoon, so only Wen Lei was at home at this time.
Fan's heart was indignant, but she didn't dare to disobey the order given by the county lord himself.
"You are standing in the courtyard, and you are not allowed to set foot in my house!" said Fan, who began to vent his anger.
Yue Yue said lightly: "If you invite me in, I won't go in, hurry up and give me the silver, I have a lot of things to do." ”
Fan's anger was blocked in his chest, and he was extremely uncomfortable, but this money really couldn't escape, and he had to return it to the beginning of the month.
He snorted and entered the room, while Wen Li looked at the two of them in the courtyard like a thief, as if as soon as he left, Yue Yue and Wen Shang would steal his things.
After a while, Fan came out and handed a cloth bag to the beginning of the month.
Wen Shang hurriedly took it and sent it to the beginning of the month.
At the beginning of the month, he reached out and untied the cloth bag, counted it, and there were only fifty taels in it.
"You're too old to count? There's only fifty taels of silver here, a whole ten taels less!"
As soon as the words fell at the beginning of the month, Fan's exploded, "You hurt my son's head, don't you have to spend money to see a doctor?"
"And my son is a scholar's brain, so he was injured casually? You have to compensate me for the medical expenses of ten taels of silver!"
At the beginning of the month, he sneered and said, "Your son needs ten taels of silver for medical expenses if he hurts his head, so have you ever compensated Wen Shang's head at that time?"
"That's a fool asking for it!What is our business!" Fan stomped his foot, "Take the silver and get out of here, it's really an eyesore to look at you!"
Fan Shi began to drive people away, but at the beginning of the month, he didn't leave, raised the corners of his mouth and said directly: "Wen Lin hurt his head and he also asked for it, one sum is counted, if you don't want to give silver, then I have to go to the yamen again." ”
Hearing the word "Yamen", Fan felt that the pain in her buttocks was even more intense, she was anxious and afraid, and shouted in a sharp voice: "You hurt Lin'er, we also accidentally injured a fool, we will give you at most five taels of silver, no more, if you still want to go to Yamen, then I won't accompany you!"
"Then hurry up and bring the five taels of silver. "At the beginning of the month, I was willing to talk to her about a word of nonsense.
Fan was unwilling, but there was really no way, so he went back to the house and touched for a long time before taking out five taels of silver.
Wen Shang stepped forward and took five taels of silver from Fan's hand, causing Fan to scold: "What a white-eyed wolf with no conscience, it's really ungrateful to lose your wife to feed and drink for you for two years!"
Wen Shang directly raised his eyes and glanced at Fan, and Fan couldn't help but be startled when he looked at Wen Shang's eyes.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of the fool's mouth, and his eyes were more like a pillar of ice, and she couldn't help but shudder.
God, is this still the fool Wen Shang she has beaten and bullied for two whole years?
