Chapter 259 I Want to Be a Villain 49
The life of a country bumpkin actually cost the Qian family such a large sum of money, and the old lady felt extremely distressed.
However, Li Dashan is really cruel. Not only does the lion open his mouth, but he also asks the Qian family to deliver the money to him before the sun sets. Otherwise, he would go and tell the folks outside the Yamen now that the official had received his petition but had the intention of protecting the Qian family, and refused to open a court for interrogation for a long time...
There was already a sea of people outside the government office, and the government office also wanted reputation and face. They just wanted to get rid of this matter quickly, so everyone in the government office began to persuade the Qian family to find a solution quickly.
Mrs. Qian just wanted to vomit blood.
No, she had already vomited blood once. The doctor asked her to take a good rest and stop worrying, but how could she not worry? Bad things have happened frequently in the house these days. If she doesn't insist on cleaning up, the Qian family's century-old foundation will be destroyed in her hands.
So Mrs. Qian had to drag her weak body to raise money.
Recently, there was a religious ceremony at home, and a lot of money was spent on the house and herself. Cash, which was once abundant, is now running low.
Recently, the government is preparing for the marriage of Qian Feng and Ni Hong, and a large amount of cash has been spent. The total amount of active silver in the book is now only more than 300 taels.
Mrs. Qian only had four hundred taels of mobile silver left on hand.
The family was in such a mess right now, and she felt useless no matter how much she wanted to spend so much money in one go. Originally, she planned to delay it for two days to think of a solution, but now that the Yamen is forcing her, she is even more worried.
She went to several shops to collect cash, but she only got three hundred taels.
There is still a difference of five hundred taels.
Mrs. Qian could only recruit her second son and wanted to lend him money to make ends meet.
The second son was aggrieved because he was wrongfully accused last night and was thinking of breaking up the family. Now he said that because of the accident with the eldest concubine, the family not only had to help fill the hole, but also asked them to get money. The good-tempered second master once again became violent. Why?
"Mother, your heart is so biased! Not only do you want to give everything in this family to my eldest brother and the others, but you also want to give us all to the eldest brother, right? How do you supplement those two losers in private on weekdays? , we turn a blind eye and pretend we didn’t see it. But you can’t push yourself too far!
Now if the elder's house is short of money, we will take it, and if anything happens to the elder's house, we will bear it. Our second wife is the one who is taken advantage of, right? No! Not even a tael of silver. My children and I also have to survive, and we are also in difficulty. In addition, please clarify your account. When the family was separated, my father promised to give it to me, and I had to get it for my children. "
The second master walked away, and the old lady almost had a heart attack.
Treason!
She has always held an unparalleled position in the house, and her son has always respected her and would never talk back to her like this!
Mrs. Qian recruited a second daughter-in-law.
The second wife also had a dark face.
"I think I need to tell you something. The Taoist priest you invited home last time, it was you who emphasized how efficacious and powerful he was, so I invited him to perform a ritual. As a result, he defrauded me of hundreds of taels of silver."
"What!" The old lady had heard about the Taoist priest's visit to the second house, but she only thought they were doing fortune telling. Who knew they spent so much money!
"Yes. So we have no money. The reason is because you can't identify the person. In the end, this matter is still your responsibility. I am extremely poor over there. If you can, you'd better help me." Give us some money!"
The second wife is resentful and will not be polite.
"Qian Feng and Qian Xiang, you spend a lot of money to subsidize us. You won't be able to part with us now, right? If you want to subsidize Qian Feng 1,500 taels this time, then our second room will also have to ask for this amount."
The old lady was furious and scolded her for not understanding priorities.
The second wife waved her hands hastily.
"This matter can be reported to the official for resolution, and there is no need to spend this money. You are worried about affecting your eldest brother's official reputation, so you provided this money. Shouldn't you ask your eldest brother to find a solution for this matter? And Li Jingui also said it to his eldest brother. His son was overjoyed, and it was up to his eldest brother to find a solution.
If you insist on taking money from our room, both the master and I think it is better to report it to the government and let the government investigate it. This will not only help you figure out the whole story, but also save you money wasted and will not let a scum like Li Dashan take over. This huge bargain fuels his arrogance! "
In short, if you don't have money, you can force her to report it to the official. If the old lady wants to fill the hole, they also need a share of the second room.
The second wife left without any dignity.
Mrs. Qian was shaking with anger.
They are all traitors!
The eldest son was hundreds of miles away and had no time to ask for help. And the eldest son... She didn't want the eldest son to worry about these trivial matters...
Now, Qian Feng and Qian Xiang were robbed again, and for a while, no one in the house could borrow money.
Another news came from the house, saying that the second bedroom was really packing their luggage and preparing to move out.
Aunt Cai went to persuade her, but the second master only gave her four words: "Cold, disappointing."
At this time, the old lady must not let the second child and his family move out. As soon as they leave, they will start a family separation. If the family members inquire, they will probably find out about the scandal in the house. What if the second daughter-in-law goes to her parents' house again and talks nonsense...
"The younger brother slept with the older brother's fiancée, the two brothers fought, and there were thieves in the house..." When these things spread, the Qian family lost its reputation. As she gets older, she will still be known as "incompetent in managing the family". This must never happen.
The old lady sighed, and had no choice but to pack up her collections and go to the pawn shop... After living for most of her life, this was the first time she had to sell off her collections. Thinking about it, her heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached. .
In this way, the Qian family didn't collect the money until evening. She pawned two thousand taels of silver notes, took 500 taels to appease the second room, and sent the rest to the Yamen.
After receiving the banknote, Li Dashan found several respected people in the village to testify. He pressed his fingerprints and made a deposit, promising not to investigate Jin Gui's death, not to talk to the Qian family about Jin Gui's death, and not to complain about Jin Gui's death. Question the cause of Jin Gui's death, bury Jin Gui as quickly as possible, and never mention anything about Jin Gui to the outside world...
Except for the government, Mrs. Qian, and the Li family, outsiders only knew that he had received money from the Qian family to withdraw the lawsuit. They had no idea how much money he had obtained from the Qian family.
Li Dashan even asked his two sons and Mrs. Zhang to arrange a meal for the villagers, and used that time to secretly hide the silver...
He had thought that the Qian family might not be able to bear this tone, but he felt that with the current crisis, the Qian family would not do anything for at least the next two days, but he never expected that the "Qian family" would be so fearless and arrogant. It's on the door tonight! …
Tao Ran quickly checked the banknote and felt happy.
In the past two days, I have really struggled with counting money.
That night, plus the 1,400 taels seized from the Taoist priest, she got another 3,000 taels.
She felt that she could be selfish and find a way to realize a dream she had always had.
I get excited just thinking about it!
