As soon as the words are signed, the matter of harmony and separation is a certainty.

The village chief asked him to go to Mrs. Wang's house to move Chen Wenyan's dowry back to Chen's house, and when Mrs. Wang heard this, her face sank.

But she didn't dare to stop it, and she had to cooperate with the village chief to move things out according to Chen Wenyan's dowry list.

Chen Wenyan is an only daughter, her father and mother thought that anyway, if their daughter married in the village, she could go home on weekdays to honor them, so she waved her hand and took out all the money in the family to buy a dowry.

Wang Chunsheng didn't think about Chen Wenyan's dowry at first, who made his father lose his life after being deceived by Wang Yingying, and there was one less earner in the family.

Now what is the imperial court to improve the saline-alkali land, his family's more than 20 acres of land, it is definitely not possible to grow it by himself, their ancestors are people who have been big officials, how can they really make mud legs.

But if he didn't grow his own family, he had to hire tenants, and the family had to spend money on weekdays, and the money in his hand was not enough at all, so he put his idea on Chen Wenyan's dowry.

He didn't take much, so he took advantage of Chen Wenyan to fall asleep, and took some broken silver to use for the family's expenses, while his mother's money was saved and taken out when he had to do so.

Wang Chunsheng's plan in his heart is very beautiful, Chen Wenyan's silver is all put together, he occasionally takes a little, it is definitely not so easy to find.

But Chen Wenyan is not stupid, she still has a small scale in her dowry, and every time she takes the silver from it, she will weigh it again, and then write it down with charcoal.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Chunsheng took it, she found that something was wrong, but she didn't see it with her own eyes, so she didn't say anything, but pretended not to know, until she saw Wang Chunsheng stealing her dowry silver, and she happened to be scolded by Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law, as soon as she went home, she told her father and mother about it.

Chen Wenyan is not a person to be messed with, when she went home, she took some of the dowry money and brought it back to her parents' house.

This will count the dowry, she is taking out the list of her own flat diary, and by comparison, good fellow, there are nearly four taels of silver missing.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Wang's mother and son with wrong eyes, they thought they would take some if they stole it, but it turned out that these four taels of silver were enough for half a year's expenses, which is too shameless!

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed when she was seen, not ashamed but angry.

Because she really didn't know how much silver she had taken in total, she didn't look at the broken silver that Wang Chunsheng gave her every time, so she just took it and put it in her own small box.

But she vaguely remembered that her son had handed in four or five times, and each time it was a small piece of broken silver, how could there be four taels of silver!

She had to make up for the four taels of silver that were missing, and that wasn't the same as asking her to die.

"Impossible, how can there be nearly four taels of silver, this list must have been moved!"

The redness and swelling on Mrs. Wang's face dissipated a little, and she had already spoken clearly, and she would stare at the list viciously, eager to tear it off.

The village chief had a calm face, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and looked directly at Wang Chunsheng, "Do you recognize this number?" ”

After Wang Chunsheng came back from Chen's house, the whole person was very sluggish, and when the village chief asked him, he slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on Chen Wenyan, who was indifferent, and his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Wang was afraid that her son would admit it, so she hurriedly took his hand, "Son, I can't recognize it, I can't recognize it!" ”

The village chief tapped his cane, since that illness, his patience with the Wang clan was much less than before.

"The eldest husband dares to act, take it and admit it, if you don't admit it, go to the yamen, you have to make it clear."

Wang Chunsheng's heart was very chaotic, hesitation, entanglement, confusion, regret and other emotions were intertwined, and he felt extremely painful.

But his mother was still tugging at his hand, and he didn't stop chattering, and his hands were all hurting.

"Enough!"

Wang Chunsheng's ears were buzzing, and the whole person was extremely irritable, so he raised his hand and shook off Mrs. Wang.

"I think I'll go and get the money out now."

After speaking, he ignored Mrs. Wang and strode in.

He knew exactly where his mother's money was hidden, and not long after entering, he took out the little box.

Mrs. Wang saw that the whole person was not good, so she hurriedly rushed over, "Don't take it, don't take it!" ”

This is her money, and no one is allowed to take it.

But Wang Chunsheng dodged, Mrs. Wang threw herself on the ground, just fell a dog and ate, she was still in pain, and she had no strength to get up.

She could only watch as her son opened her box, took some of the silver she had saved for many years, and put it on a small scale, which was enough to owe Chen Wenyan the silver.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her eyes turned black and she fainted.

After the dowry was counted, Wang Chunsheng hugged the box, helped the old lady, and entered the house with a decadent face.

Chen Wenyan and her mother were overjoyed, and when the clan relatives helped move Chen Wenyan's dowry back to Chenjiagou, she waved and shouted at the top of her voice:

"My sister has left the wolf's den, it is worth celebrating, if all the relatives are free, they will come to my house for a banquet the day after tomorrow, the dishes are not the best, but they must be enough."

Chen Wenyan and her father were smiling, standing behind her mother-in-law.

He and his mother-in-law don't spend much money on weekdays, since his daughter got married, he went to sea to fish, saved a lot of silver, last year he went to work in Gu Su's field, saved silver, and this year he served in labor and saved a lot of silver.

I can still afford to hold a banquet for my daughter.

The people of the Chen family all knew that Chen Wenyan and her family were in charge of Chen Wenyan and her mother, so when they heard this, they hurriedly responded with a smile.

After all, Chen Wenyan and Li, Chen Wenyan is a wronged person, and moreover, Chen Wenyan is a junior in the clan, and the people of the Chen family are all good-natured, which will be distressed to Chen Wenyan.

This did not promise to leave with a smile, and when he went home with his back foot, he prepared some things for the Chen family, saying that it was to celebrate Chen Wenyan's escape from the sea of suffering.

Chen Wenyan was a little worried at first, her own harmony would make her relatives have bad opinions, and when the time came, she would embarrass her father and mother, and she would really be unfilial.

But in the evening, she was called by her father and mother to the hall to receive the clansmen, and when she received the gifts endlessly, the hanging heart was completely let go.

Her eyes were mist, the tails of her eyes were red, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.

Listening to the comforting and reassuring words of the clansmen, looking at the things they sent, and feeling their very sincere concern, my heart was sour and sweet.

How lucky she is to have such a good family and clansmen.

Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, and she lay in bed for two days when she was sick, and when she was just a little better, she heard the crackling firecrackers in the village, which gave her a headache.

"It's not a New Year's holiday, what kind of firecrackers are put in, there are dead people in the house, right?"

Her mouth was poisonous, Wang Chunsheng came in with the medicine, and when she heard it, she paused, looking at her old lady with no emotion in her eyes.

"Today, Wen Yan's family will hold a drink, and invite everyone in the Chen family to celebrate her success and escape from our wolf's den."

After speaking, he ignored Mrs. Wang, put the medicine aside and left.

Mrs. Wang was originally narrow-minded, but when she heard this, she became even more angry, raised her hand and pointed to the door for a long time, and fainted again after a while.
