After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi returned home and stayed up late to make sausages in preparation for setting up the stall the next day. With the cheating tool of space, it was no problem to make a thousand sausages in one night.

In order to make the shape better, she used plastic film to shape it and froze it in the refrigerator to ensure the taste.

While she was busy, Jiang Chen had already returned home and brought the bad news. Previously, he had only compensated Shen with 100 taels of dowry silver, but now he wanted 600 taels. Jiang's mother fainted.

That’s six hundred taels. Even if you sell the entire Jiang family, you still can’t afford the compensation.

On the way back, Village Chief Jiang had already learned the bad news, but there was nothing he could do as this was six hundred taels of silver.

Father Jiang asked, "Is there no other way? Is this really the only way to get the money?"

Jiang Chen: "The county magistrate has already made the verdict, it's written in black and white. If I don't pay back the money, I will lose my reputation as a scholar, and my path to the imperial examination will be cut off."

"How can this be done?"

Father Jiang said, "But we can't even raise the money even if we sell everything we have, including our house and land. What should we do?"

Village Chief Jiang smoked his pipe and said, "The only solution now is to ask Shen for help. As long as she agrees, the money will be easy to negotiate."

Jiang Chen: "It's difficult. Shen is not the same person she used to be. She won't be soft-hearted."

Jiang Chen had a hunch that asking Shen Nanzhi for help would only make her happier and make him more embarrassed, so he couldn't afford to pay even a penny less.

"Isn't this going to kill people? The county magistrate is targeting us on purpose. Did Shen bribe the county magistrate?"

Jiang Chen: "Be careful with your words. We cannot slander the county magistrate's reputation. We will go to jail if we do."

Father Jiang was helpless, his face full of sorrow. Sister Jiang cursed: "I knew she was a jinx. Nothing went well for us after she came into our family. Now she wants so much money, isn't she forcing us to die?

Why don't we just go find her and die in front of her."

Jiang Chen: "Don't say such useless things. We still need to collect money. How much money can your family give?"

Even if she died in front of Shen Nanzhi, she would not be soft-hearted, and might even be happier.

Mrs. Jiang tugged at the man's sleeve, winked at him, and told him to go back to the house and talk.

Boss Jiang looked irritated, not just because of the money, but also because something was not right with him when he lay down for the past two days and he never got up.

This is not normal. I used to wake up early every morning with a flagpole standing tall. Now it's like a dead snake. Is there something wrong?

I don't dare tell anyone about this. I'll go to the city and see a doctor when I have time.

He didn't take Jiang Dasao's hint seriously. "If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she wanted to beat him to death. The family property hasn't been divided yet, and they also have a share of the family money. If they are burdened with so much debt, how will they live in the future?

Father Jiang said, "You should ask your mother. She helped your mother-in-law out. She can't handle anything. She has lived in vain at such an old age."

Jiang's mother cried and said, "You don't give me a chance to live. Why didn't you tell me to sign that fatal thing? I would definitely not agree if I knew."

Jiang Chen: "It's meaningless to talk about that now. I was injured at that time, and they spent a lot of money to hire a doctor to treat my injury, and they also saved my life. If I don't sign, the Shen family will not agree."

At that time, there were more than a dozen burly men from the Shen family standing there, all staring at him signing. What could a weak scholar like Jiang Chen do?

He didn't want to talk about such embarrassing things.

"How much money do you have at home?"

"Where can you get the money? How can such a large family not need money for food, clothing and other necessities? You haven't gone to the city to do odd jobs, and the little you earn from the farm is only enough to eat."

The original owner was very active when he came home and took on most of the housework. The men were too lazy to do the work. Who would be willing to work hard doing odd jobs to earn money when they could have a ready-made meal?

In the past two years, the family has been living a comfortable life with Shen Nanzhi's money, and the men in the family are rarely embarrassed.

"How many are there? Why are you talking so much?"

Father Jiang was impatient, and when Mother Jiang got angry, she said, "It's less than a hundred taels of silver, it's really all the family assets."

Jiang Chen: "I have saved fifty taels. If I borrow from my classmates, I can get one hundred taels. I still need four hundred taels."

There are so many things that make people despair. Mother Jiang even wants to die.

"Village Chief, you have to find a way to help us!"

The village chief was helpless, “No one in the village is rich, as you know, our family is not as rich as yours.

The only solution now is to sell the land. If you sell your house and land, you will get two hundred taels. You can find a way to borrow money for the rest."

"Sell the house and the land? Where will we live? What will we eat and how will we live in the future?"

"Let's take care of the present. If the fourth brother loses his title of scholar, we will have no hope at all."

"No one can say anything if we live in the original thatched cottage of Shen's. If we add two rows of houses at the back, it will be enough for us to live in."

Jiang Chen didn't want to sell the house or the land, and couldn't help but regret it. If he had agreed to Shen Nanzhi's divorce, it would have been solved with one hundred taels. But now it cost six hundred taels, and he was being watched by the county magistrate. He was really unlucky.

As a person, you need to be decisive, know when to give up and when to gain, and not act on impulse.

Jiang Chen gained a valuable experience, and became more generous in his conduct and gained recognition from many of his classmates.

Mother Jiang's eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Xun's children. Shen had divorced them, and the children were not her biological children. Was she going to keep them to eat for free?

"Selling them will earn you a few taels of silver, which is better than wasting food by raising them in the future."

The retribution came so quickly. Even though Jiang Xun had memories of his past life, he was just a child at this moment and had no power to protect himself. He was so scared that his face turned pale. "Grandma, we can all farm and support ourselves. We are filial to you and just ask for a place to live."

"Who are you calling grandma? I have so many grandchildren, why would I want you to call me grandma?"

When Jiang's mother saw them, she thought of Shen and felt so angry that her teeth itched.

Jiang Xun: "We can go and beg our mother. She might be soft-hearted and let our father go."

When Jiang Ke thought of meeting Shen Nanzhi, he felt guilty and scared to the point of having his legs go weak and wet his pants.

Jiang Yu was shocked: "Second brother, why did you wet your pants?"

Jiang Ke: "..."

He was actually so afraid of his mother that his mind went blank. Jiang Xun felt a little disgusted. This brother didn't look like he would become a high-ranking official in the future.

Jiang Chen knew his fear and did not blame him: "Go to your room and change your clothes."

Jiang Ke ran back to the woodshed and added a wooden board in the corner, which became their shelter.

Compared to being under Shen Nanzhi, he suffered much more, but Jiang Yu inexplicably trusted Jiang Chen and wanted to follow him wholeheartedly.

These are all because their grandmother can't tolerate them. As long as they can hold on for two years, their father will pass the imperial examination and their good days will come.

Jiang Xun followed back and felt that something was wrong with his second brother. "What's wrong with you? Tell me the truth, or don't blame me for not caring about you."
