Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 77 Severing ties

After more than a month of hard work, the new house of Xiaoer's family was finally completed, and now they are repairing the courtyard wall. Xiaoer planned to enclose the wasteland and the barren mountains. When the villagers found out about this, they thought Xiaoer's family was crazy. Enclosing such a large piece of land would give them enough money to build several houses.

Xiaoer didn't care what others said, so she asked Shen Chengzu to hire 20 men with good reputations in the village to help with the repairs. They paid 25 cents a day, without including meals. Villagers in other villages heard about it and rushed to sign up. Shen Chengzu picked some hard-working men. To be honest, a total of forty-eight people were invited.

She plans to dig a few more ponds in the wasteland and raise fish, shrimps, crabs, and clams so that she can sell the fish and pearls in the space later. As for the two barren mountains, one is used to grow medicinal herbs and the other is used to grow fruits. The purpose is also to facilitate the removal of medicinal materials and fruits in the space.

She also asked Foreman Liang to build two simpler houses one behind the other at the foot of the two mountains, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The layout was that of a modern house. They were also brick houses, but only had one floor. , which was later used to house people who took care of crops on the mountain.

In the evening, the three Xiaoer brothers returned home and were immediately called to the bedroom.

"Why did you three invite people to surround all the wasteland with a monastery wall?" When Mr. Shen saw the three people coming in, he didn't let them sit down and went straight to the point.

"That way it will be safer. We don't have to worry about others stealing our things!"

"Bastard! What do you have for people to steal! I don't even know if anything can be grown in those wastelands! Do you know that the money needed to repair the courtyard wall is enough to build a house? I am here today. His face turned green from laughter!" Mr. Shen was so angry that his beard stood up.

"Isn't that right? In this world, the fertile fields of landlords are not fenced. Aren't the things they grow on their good fields better than those on your wasteland? You are so blind as a thief in the world!" Ms. Li was standing next to her. Add oil and vinegar.

"You prodigal brat, what did your mother teach you? Do you want to completely ruin our old Shen family while your father is not at home? Let me tell you, if you don't have money by then, don't ask me for it. We have already The family is separated, no matter what happens to your family, it is your family's business." Today, Shen Zhuang heard that Foreman Liang had not received his wages.

"Although I went to the south this time to make some money and come back, I also plan to buy land and build a house, marry Jinghua a good wife, and send Jingye and Jingzhi to school. In that case, the money will not be enough. If you need it, don't ask me to borrow it, so as not to embarrass me when you get it." Shen Chengzong spoke arrogantly, that was really arrogant and domineering!

"The third brother and his sister are not at home, leaving the whole family to a few children. This is not something that children can take charge of. The third brother is too reckless! He is too spoiled. If our mother is allowed to be the head of the house, I will definitely It won't be like this! My mother-in-law, who is diligent and thrifty, has always taught us." Lan shook her head.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang straightened her back, "Now that the family has been separated, you all know that I am important, and not just anyone can be the leader!"

The three brothers and sisters came in and only said a word before they were surrounded by several people.

"Mistress, don't worry, second uncle, if our family asks anyone to borrow it, they won't ask you to borrow it," Jingrui said angrily!

I really need to borrow money!

"Then it's agreed. Don't go back on your word when the time comes. I won't borrow it no matter how you beg me!" Shen Chengzong declared again and again.

“I’ve raised you so much, there’s no reason why I have to pay you back when you’re old!” No matter what, it’s you who should raise me, and I’ll use the money!

"Have you paid all the wages for building the house?" Mr. Shen asked Jingrui.

"Not yet, I'll give it to you when dad gets home."

"Have you paid for the materials to build the house?"

"Some of them have been paid. There are also glazed windows, floor heating and the like that have not been paid for." Hearing the glazed windows, everyone in the room took a breath, glazed windows, how much money does that cost?

"Have you paid off the bricks for the monastery wall?" Mr. Shen also felt very bad.

Jingrui shook his head and said, "I paid the deposit."

"You bastard, you still dare to build the courtyard wall without paying so much money. Tomorrow, I will ask your fourth uncle to persuade those people to go back. The courtyard wall will not be repaired!"

"But if we don't repair it, we will suffer even more losses!"

"You use colored glaze to make windows? How many have you made?" Lan felt uneasy.

"All our windows are made of colored glaze. They have been ordered and will be delivered within the next two days!" Xiaoer almost laughed to death from the imagination of these people. She even felt that she was a little internally injured from enduring it!

She has never seen anyone rely on random guessing to make things look like they are real!

"Do you know the price of colored glaze? How much silver does a colored glaze window cost?"

The three of them shook their heads. The Liuli shop has not yet opened, and the specific price has not yet been determined. How do they know, but the cost is very low!

"Father, mother, I once saw a glass cup at the county magistrate's house. That cup was bought by the county magistrate's wife at the Treasure Pavilion for twenty taels!"

Mr. Shen Zhuang's face turned pale when he heard this. A cup costs twenty taels. The windows in the third house's new house are very large, with so many windows. How much glass would it take to make it? How much silver would it cost? One hundred taels, no, one hundred taels is not enough for one window! A window of several hundred taels would cost tens of thousands of taels of colored glaze. Oh my God! Where can I have so much money to give to others?

As for those toys, she didn't believe that she could earn ten thousand taels of silver, so she could only borrow loan sharks. Thinking of the consequences of many people borrowing loan sharks, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and blue!

Everyone present thought about it, and everyone felt panic in their hearts. The entire Shen family doesn’t have that much money to pay for it!

No, they have separated a long time ago, why drag them into the water! That house was built and not for them to live in!

"Old man, do the parents and brothers who are separated need to pay back the loan sharks to their sons and brothers?"

"Mom, we are still parents and brothers after we separate! There must be a connection!" Lan said as if unintentionally.

Can't get rid of the relationship? Just cut off the relationship! After hearing this, Mrs. Li was moved with inspiration, clapped her hands and said loudly: "My family wants to sever ties with the third family. I have an elder above me and a young one below me, but we can't lose our lives!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang's eyes lit up and she severed ties with him. "Yes, my family will also sever ties with you. From now on, your family's affairs will have nothing to do with mine!"

Mrs. Lan didn't say anything, and the two elders followed her husband. Shen Zhuang said that my family included her, so there was no need to be ugly anymore.

Shen Chengzu was extremely anxious after hearing this: "Mom, what are you doing? Second brother, how can you sever the relationship with third brother? Dad, you don't care!"

"Third brother, you keep going. No one talks about you. You are willing to help me pay for the loan sharks, but I don't want to. When the time comes, don't implicate me. You can't harm us. You know, I still want to live for a few more years!"

Mr. Shen frowned tightly: "It would be too..."

"Old man, please don't make any mistakes at this time. This is a big deal that will bankrupt your family! If you don't do it right, we may become slaves!"

"I used to think that my third brother was the most down-to-earth and willing to work, but I didn't expect that he would be so ignorant of the importance of a divided family and not know how to live within his ability! Our entire wealth combined is not enough for a glazed window, how can we help? This is not even a tael of silver. It's a matter of time. How long will it take for so much money to be repaid? Will our children and grandchildren have to pay off the debt for that house?" Lan sighed.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen fell silent and broke off the relationship. He felt that he couldn't bear it, but if he continued to talk, Wen'er would have no money to go to school and manage, and he couldn't be an official, so the gain would outweigh the loss.

Just when Jing Rui was about to speak, Xiaoer gently pulled his sleeve and motioned him to be silent with her eyes. She wanted to see how rich their imagination was and how this matter would end. !

"Bao'er, go and ask your brother to write two documents, hurry up!" Mrs. Shen Zhuang was worried that Mr. Shen would regret it, so she decided to cut the knot quickly.

The two divorce documents were quickly written. Shen Zhuang and Shen Chengzong couldn't wait to press their fingerprints, and then handed them to Jingrui, "Your father is not here, so you can do it!"

Jingrui felt that this was over, "Master, can you not press it?"

How did things develop to the point where their family was evicted?

"No, press it quickly!" After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang refused quickly and even came to Jingrui and pressed his finger.

Xiaoer didn't know what to feel in her heart at this moment. She felt ridiculous for the stupidity of these people, but also felt sad for Shen Chengyao! ,
