A lucky wife born again from a farm family

"But how to get this money?" Chen Zangjin asked: "Chen Shuihua is a person who wants money rather than life. She would rather die than take advantage of us."

Although my mother is powerful, Chen Shuihua is not an ordinary shrew. She is the master who can kill their whole family with a kitchen knife. She does things without any scruples. Chen Zangjin has learned this before, so she is worried that she is no match for Chen.

Chen Zanggu also said: "Yes, mother, the third sister is a generous person, and her money is not easy to exploit."

After hearing this, Old Ruan fell silent and began to think about how to deal with Chen. But Mrs. Chen is really too tough. Her family had quarrels with her before, but nothing good came of it. For a while, Mrs. Ruan really didn't know how to deal with her.

Little Ruan said at this time: "Auntie, do you still remember the gossip we heard when we first came to Fucheng? It was about an old father suing his unfilial son. The family still had a surname, and now I think it should be Chen Shuihua. A member of the same clan as my husband’s family.”

They arrived in He'an Fucheng in June. They heard about this gossip at that time and even helped scold the old beast who sued his son. Now that they think about it, the old beast is really pitiful. He should dig more of the unfilial son's money. .

Old Ruan said: "What do you mean? Say it quickly."

Little Ruan said: "Auntie, although Old Man Gu didn't sue his son, it gave the Gu Dashan family a headache. Finally, I heard from the women in the city that the aunt of the Gu family gave Old Man Gu a thousand taels. 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 worry about wealth?"

"That aunt of the same race is the third oldest." Lao Ruan went to Gujia Village to cause trouble several times, but she was not familiar with Gu Dashan's family. She only vaguely remembered that Gu Laosan and his wife were from a poor family. When her family went to Gu Village to make trouble at the head of the village, When they asked for money, the impoverished couple even came out to smooth things over.

But it had been so long ago that when old Ruan first heard the gossip about old Gu's family, he didn't think of it and just thought they had the same surname.

"The poor old man has to live on the children of the clan, so he must be good to the children of the clan. Asking them for money is indeed a good way." Old Ruan said, but he felt that it was not safe and frowned.

Seeing this, little Ruan saw through old Ruan's worries and asked, "Auntie, you think it's not safe to just attack Gu Laosan's family, because you're afraid that you'll get less money?"

Old Ruan nodded: "Well, the impoverished couple has already given the old Gu family a thousand taels, how much money is left? When it's our family's turn, we still have to decide whether we can dig out the money."

Then he said with a serious face: "This is a one-shot deal. If you want to dig, just dig the most. Otherwise, when Chen Shuihua gets angry, we won't get any money at all."

Little Ruan was very shrewd and had already targeted the Xu family. Hearing this, he said, "Auntie, didn't you say that Chen Shuihua's nephew is going to be engaged to a girl from a rich family? The old man from a rich family is here right now. In the city, why don’t we go to him and ask for money?”

Then he said: "Those are wealthy families. They must be face-conscious and are not willing to have relatives like ours. So we went to them and lied to them that Gu Dexing and Yinhua were engaged. Now that we know that their two families are getting engaged, we I don’t want to be a bad person, as long as they give our family three thousand taels of silver, our family will leave the city and never bother them in this life."

Old Ruan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was very excited, but he said: "Three thousand taels is too much, and the Xu family is not a fool, can they give us so much money?"

Old Ruan thought for a while and said, "Let's dig in from both sides. Let's dig out the Xu family's one thousand taels of silver, and then dig out Gu Laosan and his wife's couple hundred taels. Once we get enough money, we'll leave."

"Hey, my dear mother, you still have a way." Chen Zanggu was very happy. After all, their family had more than a thousand taels of silver, which was enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime.

but……

"Third sister really doesn't recognize her coming back?"

Chen Zangjin also asked: "Yes, mother, Third Sister's family has become rich. If we can recognize her, we can eat her for the rest of our lives..."

"Ah, stop dreaming. It's impossible for Chen Shuihua to recognize us." Old Ruan interrupted Chen Zangjin and said, "Besides, with Chen Shuihua's ability, even if we suck her for the rest of her life, she will still be able to suck her." If I don’t get more than a thousand taels of silver, I might as well just do the big deal and leave.”

After listening to this, the Chen brothers thought about Chen's temper and felt that what Old Ruan said made sense. They finally said: "Okay, let's listen to mother. Then when do we go to the Xu family? Do we want to take Yinhua with us?" "

When Chen Yinhua returned to the thatched cottage carrying a cloth bag, she heard this and asked, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

As she spoke, she handed the cloth bag to Old Ruan and said with a smile: "Mistress, there are a lot of people going to offer incense today. My granddaughter wants to get a lot of things, including food, a dozen copper coins, and a few more Sachet, if you sell the sachet, you can get money."

After hearing this, Xiao Ruan secretly glared at Chen Yinhua. This silly girl should hide good things, so why did she give them to her aunt like this? Can’t this be shared by the whole family?

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

Old Ruan put the things aside, took Chen Yinhua's hand, told her the family plan, and said: "Yinhua, you have been sensible since you were a child. This matter is related to our family's livelihood. You can do it." Done. When you get to the Xu family, you cry and say that you have known Gu Dexing since you were a child and have a marriage contract with him, so that you can get money from the Xu family."

Chen Jinhua cried when she heard this. She looked at Old Ruan and said, "Mistress, my granddaughter can do this too. You can just leave it to your granddaughter."

Old Ruan said: "I know you can do it, but Yinhua is more suitable. She can hold her composure better than you. When she is sad, she looks more aggrieved than you. The Xu family believes it more."

After hearing this, Chen Jinhua was not happy, but the old Ruan family was the one who made the decision in the family. The old Ruan family had always been partial to her second uncle's family, so Chen Jinhua could only swallow this sigh of relief.

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

Chen Yinhua felt that the family was wishful thinking. The Xu family could become a wealthy family and they were so easy to bully. When the time came, the whole family should not be captured and sold as refugees.

But old Ruan said: "It is precisely because the Xu family is a wealthy family and they want to save face that they dare not deny us money."

Then he said: "Okay, don't worry, just listen to me."

Old Ruan had made up her mind not to listen to Chen Yinhua anymore, but to talk to her family about her plan to make money from both sides.

Chen Yinhua was listening, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The third aunt's family was prosperous, her nephew was admitted as a scholar, and even the prefect had seen it. How could their family be so scheming?

This scheming person with fame will be arrested and imprisoned, and the first person to be arrested is her, the female liar who lied about being engaged to Gu Dexing.

The more Chen Yinhua thought about it, the more frightened she became, but she could not openly disobey the old Ruan family, so she could only think of other ways to save herself.

In the end, she decided to simply inform Mrs. Chen about her family's bad idea.
