The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2020

[Chapter 2020 Qiyou Fanwai (96)]

The IOU written by Mr. Chen San had his fingerprints on it, and the people in the casino would naturally not leave it. However, since people said that it was 60,000 taels of silver, they would definitely not spread the word.

Chen Zhonghe looked at Mr. Chen San, who was kneeling on the ground shaking into a sieve, and asked, “I really owe 60,000 taels of silver?” When he asked this, his tone was very calm.

Master Chen San said with snot and tears: “Big brother, they are the ones who made the money. Then, I, I don’t know why I owe so much money.”

After finishing speaking, Master Chen San crawled over and hugged Chen Zhonghe and cried, “Big brother, big brother, you must save me. If I don’t pay back, they will take off my arms and legs.”

Chen Zhonghe kicked Master Chen San away with one kick, with a chill in his eyes: “If you want to remove your arms and legs, then remove them! It’s useless to keep them anyway.”

Master Chen San screamed and howled: “Big brother, big brother, you can’t wait to die, big brother…”

Cui shi walked in from the outside with a cane trembling: “Boss, he is your brother, do you really have the heart to watch him get killed?”

Chen Zhonghe said with a blank face: “No one wants to harm him, he is courting death himself.”

Master Chen San turned his head and hugged Mrs Cui: “Mother, mother, I know I’m wrong. Mother, save me, I don’t want to be a human.” Without arms and legs, the only torso left is a real human. .

No matter how Cui begged, Chen Zhonghe would not let go. Being forced into a hurry, Chen Zhonghe knelt on the ground and said, “Mother, even if you kill me, I have no money to pay him back.”

Seeing that Chen Zhonghe had eaten the weight, Mrs Cui threw himself on his knees in front of Chen Zhonghe: “Boss, mother begged you, please save your brother! Do you really have the heart to watch him become a man?” He is a desperado who wants money but not his life. If he doesn’t give money, he will really make his youngest son a jerk.

Chen Zhonghe said blankly, “Mother, there is not that much money at home.”

Hearing this, Master Chen San shouted loudly: “Why don’t you have so much money? Just the two shops on East Street, any one is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.” East Street is the most prosperous area in the entire capital, there The shop is about the same as the hen that lays the golden egg. The two shops of the Chen family are in very good locations, and they are relatively large. The annual rent alone costs more than 20,000 taels.

Hearing this, Chen Zhonghe stood up and walked in front of Master Chen San, raised his hand and gave him a slap.

This slap exhausted all of Chen Zhonghe’s strength. Master Chen San was beaten and vomited blood.

Seeing that Chen Zhonghe was going to be beaten, Cui Shi protected him: “You want to kill him, don’t you? If you want to kill him, kill me first.”

Mr. Chen San didn’t want to die, and in order to save his life, he still cares about his ancestral business: “You just can’t bear it. For the sake of money, you even gave up your brother’s life. You say, are you still human?”

Mrs Cui hesitated and said, “Zhonghe, let’s take a store as a mortgage and redeem it after a while.” She said that the mortgage is not a sale, but also because she knew that the ancestral property could not be sold. If you sell it, the eldest son will become a prodigal son.

Chen Zhonghe said, “I won’t help him repay the debt. Mother, if you don’t want him to become a man, you can make up your own money to help him pay it off!” After speaking, he turned around and went out.

Staying in the mansion, he was suffocated, and he went out with his personal entourage. Walking on the street, Chen Zhonghe felt exhausted and lonely as never before.

The entourage watched him wandering away for fear of an accident: “Master, I heard that the eldest uncle has a relationship with the owner of the Four Seas Casino, why don’t you ask the eldest uncle to come forward and resolve this matter.”

Chen Zhonghe said lightly, “I’m not at the point where I’m incompetent to seek my son-in-law.” I would rather lose money than seek Yun Hongpo. It’s not that it can’t be pulled down, but it’s unnecessary.

I never dared to speak again.

After walking for a while, I was a little hungry, so Chen Zhonghe took his entourage to the Fortune Restaurant for dinner.

He was drunk, but his entourage took him home.

The next day, Chen Zhonghe went to the yamen like no one else. Then at night, he stayed in the yamen and did not go home.

Seeing this, Mrs Cui knew that Chen Zhonghe really didn’t care about this matter, and was a little anxious at the moment. But she couldn’t break into the yamen, and Chen Zhonghe’s consent must be obtained if the money in the public school exceeds 2,000 taels. In desperation, Mrs Cui could only take out her own coffin book. That’s not enough, I took something to pawn.

Mrs. Chen Er knew, and there was another scene. But this time, Mrs. Cui used her own private property, not the public’s money, so Mrs. Chen didn’t get any advantage.

Chen Mudan looked at Mrs. Chen Er who was so angry that her chest hurt, and asked worriedly, “Mother, does the uncle really care about the uncle?” Master Chen Er has no talent for studying, and he was admitted with reluctance. Then, the family got him an official position. He has been an official for more than ten years, but now it is only a general judgment of the sixth grade. Therefore, the Chen family still relies on Chen Zhonghe.

Although Mrs. Chen Er didn’t know how many Tiji Cui had, but 60,000 taels must have hurt her. The money was originally theirs. But now, it’s all gone.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen felt her chest hurt more and more: “If he was willing to take care of it, he wouldn’t let your grandmother sell her.”

Cui took out the coffin book, and sold several pieces of her favorite ornaments, and only then collected 60,000 taels of silver. The people from the casino got the silver ticket from Huitong Bank and were about to leave.

The big housekeeper said to them: “Our master said that the third master owes you no more debt to your casino, and our Chen family will not recognize it. As for whether to unload his arms or legs or his life, it’s up to you.”

Several local ruffians heard this and knew it. This Chen San can’t lend him money again in the future. Because I borrowed it, it was also the meat buns who beat the dogs, but there was no return.

This matter was resolved, and Chen Zhonghe came back. The first thing he did when he came back was to cut down on the government’s expenses. Except for Mrs. Cui, everyone else’s monthly payment and daily expenses have been halved. And I told the accountant that, except for the 1,500 taels of silver that was allocated to the backyard every month, no one else would go to the accountant to ask for any money without his permission. This includes Cui Shi.

Knowing this, Mrs Cui’s head twitched with anger: “Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son as you.”

Chen Zhonghe said with a blank expression: “Mother, I have already spoken to the public. In the future, the Chen family will not recognize the debts owed by the third child.”

Seeing that it was too hard, Mrs Cui came softly: “He’er, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Mother can’t just watch him be beaten to death!”

Chen Zhonghe said indifferently: “If you allow him more, it will not be enough to fill in the entire Chen family. If the Chen family is defeated, mother, you and I will have no face to see the ancestors of the Chen family in a hundred years.”

Cui was blocked so much that he couldn’t speak.

Good things don’t go out and bad things travel thousands of miles. Mr. Chen San owed a huge gambling debt, and Mrs. Cui was so confused that he sold the ladder to help him pay off the debt.

Chen Muqing was very surprised when he found out, and called Hong Po’s personal entourage, Yuan Yi, to come over: “It is said that my grandmother sold the ladder to help my third uncle pay off the debt. Is this true?”

Yuan nodded and said, “It’s true.”

In the past, when his third uncle caused trouble, it was his father who helped to deal with the aftermath. This time, it was her grandmother who came forward to solve the problem.

Chen Muqing asked, “My father, did he do anything?”.

Yuan Yi said with a smile: “The eldest master has spoken to the public, saying that the Chen family will not care whether the third master Chen gets into trouble or owes a debt in the future.”

Chen Muqing was startled. In the past, whenever anything happened at home, his father came forward to solve it. This time, it’s really not like her father’s behavior.

In fact, it was also Mrs. Chen’s departure from home, which stimulated Chen Zhonghe. For the sake of the mother and the younger brother, the troubled couple does not marry their children. But in the end, the mother and brother didn’t read him well at all, but instead scolded him for not doing enough good enough. When your heart is cold, you will naturally be able to act ruthlessly.

“How much gambling debt does my third uncle owe?”

Hearing 60,000 taels, Chen Muqing took a deep breath. No wonder his father lost his hand this time. Although the Chen family had a relatively rich family background, they couldn’t help but lose like this.

Seeing this, Yuan Yi said: “Grandma, the situation like Mr. Chen San is 100% set up by the casino. If you want to recover the money, it is not difficult.” The casino is also winking, no Anyone can count. If he came forward to ask for the money, he could get most of it back.

Chen Muqing shook her head and said, “No need.” If she came forward to ask for the money back, then her third uncle would look to her for anything. His father left it alone, how could she get into this trouble.

In early April, good news came from Jiangnan. Chen Huanzhang passed the exam and was still the head of the case.

Knowing this, Han Jingjing smiled and said to Chen Muqing, “Huanzhang, this boy is really promising.” Jiangnan has always been a place for talented people, and Chen Huanzhang’s top in the exam is enough to prove his excellence.

Chen Muqing said with a smile: “This is just the beginning, there will be a township test and a meeting test in the future.”

Han Jingjing said with a smile, “Don’t worry, with Huanzhang’s talent, he will definitely pass the hometown test and the national test.”

“I borrowed my mother’s auspicious words.”

Han Jingjing said with a smile, “I should send someone to tell my father-in-law and my mother-in-law about this matter, so that he will be happy too.” The news of Prince You’s Mansion is much better than that of the Chen family.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, “Okay.”

The Chen family is a scholar family. As long as future generations can pass the imperial examination and enter the official position, the Chen family will not be defeated. So when he heard that his son passed the examination, Chen Zhonghe’s haze for the past few days was swept away.

Back home, Chen Zhonghe told Cui the happy event. Mrs. Cui has not spoken to him for more than half a month because of Mr. Chen San, but the first thing Chen Zhonghe does when he goes home every day is to say goodbye to Mrs. Cui. As for Cui’s ignoring him, Chen Zhonghe didn’t take it to heart either.

Filial piety is the first priority, and children of scholars like Chen Zhonghe pay more attention to filial piety. But in their hearts, the most important thing is family. Family heritage and inheritance are more important than filial piety. And this time, Mr. Chen San just violated this bottom line, and Chen Zhonghe naturally couldn’t tolerate it any longer.

Cui Shiyi was happy: “Really?”

Chen Zhonghe nodded and said: “This matter was sent by the palace to inform, there should be no fake.”

When Cui Shi heard the three words of You Wangfu, displeasure flashed in his eyes. There was an accident at home that day, and she sent someone to find Mu Qing to ask her to help solve the matter, but she was stopped by Princess You and didn’t see anyone. There is really no benefit to marrying such a person.
