"But how do you pick this silver?" Chen Zangjin asked: "Chen Shuihua is a person who wants money rather than life, she would rather die than be cheap." ”

Although his wife is powerful, Chen Shuihua is not an ordinary shrew, she is the master of their family who can overturn them with a kitchen knife, and she has no scruples about doing things, Chen Zangjin has been taught, so she is worried that her family is not Chen's opponent.

Chen Zanggu also said: "Yes, mother, the third sister is open-minded, and her silver is not easy to pick." ”

When Lao Ruan heard this, he fell silent and began to think about how to deal with Chen. But the Chen family is too tough, and the family has also made trouble with her before, but it didn't get any benefits, and for a while, the old Ruan family really didn't know how to deal with her.

Xiao Ruan said at this time: "Auntie, do you remember the gossip we heard when we first came to Fucheng? said that it was an old father who sued his unfilial son, and the family still took the surname, and now I think it should be the same clan of Chen Shuihuafu's family. ”

They arrived in He'an Mansion in June, and they heard about this gossip at that time, and they also helped scold the old brute who sued his son.

Old Ruan said: "What do you mean? Hurry up and say. ”

Xiao Ruan said: "Auntie, although the old man Gu did not succeed in suing his son, it gave the Gu Dashan family a headache, and finally heard from the woman in the city that the aunt of the Gu family gave the old man Gu a thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver, if we can force the elders of the Gu family to give us one thousand taels of silver, will our family still be rich? ”

"That aunt of the same clan is the third in line." Lao Ruan's went to Gujia Village a few times, but he was not familiar with Gu Dashan's family, and only vaguely remembered that Gu Laosan and his wife were out of the house, and when her family went to Gu Village Chief's house to ask for money, the desperate couple also came out to play a round.

However, the time is too long, and when Lao Ruan first heard the gossip of the old Gu family, he didn't think about it, he just thought it was the same surname.

"The old man has to live on the children of the clan, so he has to be good to the children of the clan, and it is indeed a good way to ask them for silver." Old Ruan said, but he didn't feel very safe, so he frowned.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan's saw through Lao Ruan's worries and asked, "Auntie thinks it's not safe enough to only attack the third family, and I'm afraid that there will be less silver?" ”

Lao Ruan nodded: "Well, the desperate couple has already given the old Gu family a thousand taels, how much silver is left?" When it's our family's turn, whether we can pull out the silver is still two words. ”

He said with a heavy face: "This is a one-shot deal, if you want to pick the most, otherwise when Chen Shuihua gets angry, we won't be able to get any silver." ”

Xiao Ruan is very shrewd, he has long aimed at the Xu family, and when he heard this, he said: "Auntie, didn't you say that Chen Shuihua's nephew is going to marry the young lady of the rich family?" The old lady of the rich family is in the city at the moment, why don't we go to him and ask for silver? ”

He also said: "That's a rich family, he must love face, and he is not willing to have relatives like ours, so let's go to them and lie to them that Gu Dexing has a marriage contract with Yinhua." Now that we know that the two of them are going to get married, we don't want to be bad guys, as long as their family gives our family three thousand taels of silver, our family will leave the city, and we won't get in the way of their eyes in this life. ”

Lao Ruan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was moved, but "Three thousand taels is too much, so the Xu family is not a fool, can they give us so much silver?" ”

Lao Ruan thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's pick both sides, pick out a thousand taels of silver from the Xu family, and then pick a few hundred taels from the third husband and wife, and let's leave if we get the silver." ”

"Eh, my dear mother, you still have a way." Chen Zanggu was so happy, after calculating this, their family had more than 1,000 taels of silver, enough for them to eat and drink well for a lifetime.

But......

"The third sister really didn't recognize it?"

Chen Zangjin also asked: "Yes, mother, the third sister's family is rich, if we can recognize her, how good it would be for us to eat her for the rest of our lives......"

"Ahh Lao Ruan interrupted Chen Zangjin's words and said: "Besides, with Chen Shuihua's hard search, even if we suck her for a lifetime, we won't be able to absorb more than a thousand taels of silver, so it's better to just do the big ticket and leave." ”

After hearing this, the Chen brothers thought of Chen's temper, and they all felt that what Lao Ruan said was reasonable, and finally said: "Cheng, we listen to our mother." So when are we going to find the Xu family? Do you want to take the honeysuckle with you? ”

When Chen Yinhua returned to the grass house with a cloth bag, she heard this and asked, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" ”

As she spoke, she handed the cloth bag to Lao Ruan's and said with a smile: "Milk, there are a lot of people who go to incense today, and my granddaughter wants a lot of things, including food, more than a dozen copper plates, and a few sachets, and the sachets can be exchanged for money if they are sold." ”

Xiao Ruan's listened, and secretly glared at Chen Yinhua, this stupid girl, if you want to hide good things, why did you give it to your aunt like this? Can't this give the whole family a share?

Lao Ruan was very satisfied, and felt that Chen Yinhua, the granddaughter, was very sensible and took care of the family, but these things were nothing compared to more than a thousand taels of silver.

Lao Ruan put his things aside, took Chen Yinhua's hand, told her the family's plan, and said: "Yinhua, you have been sensible since you were a child, this matter is related to the livelihood of our whole family, you have to handle it." After arriving at the Xu family, you cried, saying that you had known Gu Dexing since you were a child and had a marriage contract with him, so that you could get the silver from the Xu family. ”

Chen Jinhua cried when she heard this, looked at Lao Ruan and said, "Milk, your granddaughter can also do this, just leave it to your granddaughter." ”

Lao Ruan said: "Milk knows that you can do it, but Yinhua is more suitable, she is calmer than you, when she is sad, she looks more wronged than you, and the Xu family believes it more." ”

Chen Jinhua listened, although she was not happy, but the old Ruan family was in charge, and the old Ruan family had always been partial to the second uncle's family, so Chen Jinhua could only swallow this breath.

Chen Yinhua frowned when she heard this, looked at Lao Ruan, and said, "Milk, what if the Xu family doesn't believe it, or directly turns against us?" ”

Chen Yinhua felt that the family was delusional, and the Xu family could become a rich family, it was so easy to bully, so don't arrest and sell their whole family as homeless people when the time comes.

But Lao Ruan said: "It is precisely because the Xu family is a rich family and wants face that they dare not give us silver." ”

He said, "Okay, don't worry, just listen to the milk." ”

Lao Ruan made up her mind, and no longer listened to Chen Yinhua, but told her family about her plan to pick up silver on both sides.

Chen Yinhua listened to it next to her, and the more she listened, the more she felt that it was inappropriate, the third aunt's family was developed, and her nephew was admitted to Xiucai, and even the prefect had seen it, so could their family be so calculating?

This person with a reputation for calculation will be arrested and sent to prison, and the first person to be arrested at that time is her, a female liar who lied that she had a marriage contract with Gu Dexing.

The more Chen Yinhua thought about it, the more scared she became, but she couldn't disobey Lao Ruan's clearly, so she could only think of other ways to save herself.

In the end, she decided to simply go and report to the Chen family and tell the Chen family about the bad idea of the family.
