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

Jiang Chen threw the problem to the Lin family and hurried into the city to raise money. He also had to sell the house and land. Except for the wealthy man in the city who could come up with so much money, there would be no buyers in the town.

As for whether the Lin family could come up with fifty taels of silver, there was no doubt that they could not do so. He just wanted to force the Lin family to show the most sincerity. It was not that easy to become his wife.

Not to mention the future wife of a juren, there was once a landlord who wanted to marry him, but unfortunately he was already married.

Jiang Chen was lost in thought and kept silent along the way. He went to look for his classmates and friends as soon as he entered the city. However, the way everyone looked at him was strange today. In the past, they were as enthusiastic as good brothers, but now they kept their distance and avoided his gaze.

He found his best classmate Xie Jin, pulled her to a place where no one was around and told her about the loan. Xie Jin waited for him to finish, and then looked embarrassed: "It's all over the place. You took the eldest lady's dowry, spoiled your wife and killed her. You have a bad moral character. How could you do this?"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, his face full of injustice: "Brother Xie, don't you know what kind of person I am? This is clearly a slander. At the beginning, Shen volunteered to subsidize the family, and I didn't force her.

As for favoring my concubine and ignoring my wife, it was because Shen was disobedient and unfilial first, so I took my neighbor's sister as my concubine, also for the purpose of being filial to my mother.

Her family did save me back then, and I can't deny it. I just want to put an end to this matter once and for all, and have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore."

Jiang Chen's words were half true and half false, and Xie Jin couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong. "Well, every family has its own problems, but I'm not well off. You know, I've spent a lot of money on buying books, all thanks to my family. How much do you want to borrow?"

"At least four hundred taels of silver are needed. My family is poor and we only have some land and an old house, which are not worth much. I only earn a few dozen taels by copying books every day.

Shen is really trying to force me to death. Maybe she wants me to give up and give in to her. I will never give in to such a despicable and ugly woman. I would rather die than lose my integrity. "

"It's indeed excessive. I'll ask my family and try my best."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. If you help me this time, I, Jiang Chen, will definitely treat you as my brother in life and death in the future."

"That's too much. I'm going home now."

Jiang Chen was full of expectations. Even if he didn't have four hundred taels, he would always have two hundred taels. Xie Jin was simple-minded and cared about his reputation, so he would definitely not take less.

I can borrow the rest from someone else, and maybe I can even keep the house and land.

However, there are not many naive young masters, and Jiang Chen is lucky to catch one like Xie Jin.

Facing the ridicule and taunts from his classmates, Jiang Chen continued to study calmly, waiting for Xie Jin. The calmer he was, the more boring those people found him and they dispersed.

It has to be said that Jiang Chen was able to pass the exam and become the only scholar in the village. He has some talent and a strong mind, and in some ways he can be considered a talent.

When Xie Jin returned home, it was such a coincidence that he turned out to be Mr. Xie's son. Shen Nanzhi was also at Xie's house at that time.

It was a coincidence that everyone came. Mr. Xie was impressed by Shen Nanzhi's wine tasting skills. He wanted to invite her to taste the new wine varieties brewed at home and improve the old wine. He thought Shen Nanzhi was a talent.

Shen Nanzhi accidentally made another connection for himself.

In her previous life, she knew that if she wanted to do big things, she had to join the circle of wealthy people. Those top clubs charge millions of membership fees a year, and so many people buy them just to squeeze into this circle.

Now Shen Nanzhi has handed over the family's sausage business to Aunt Niu and several children, and has come to visit the Xie family to establish friendship with Mr. Xie.

The new wine has one more grain added to the original Wuliangsha. Mr. Xie asked Shen Nanzhi to guess which one was added.

Shen Nanzhi took a sip and frowned, "It's a rare crop. Let me think about it."

Mr. Xie was very proud: "You can't think of this even if you rack your brains. This is a new crop that I discovered by chance. It is very rare. The taste may not be as good as Wuliang Shao, but the raw materials are not expensive and the profit is higher."

Shen Nanzhi was a little bit unbelievable, "Could it be sweet potato?"

Is this era also here?

In the past life, there was indeed a kind of liquor called sweet potato liquor, which was mostly brewed by farmers for their own drinking. She hadn't tasted it for a long time.

"You also know about sweet potatoes? I bought them from a foreign merchant when I was out doing business. I only have more than ten acres of land, and the yield is higher than I thought, so I want to use it to make wine. Miss Shen, are you really an ordinary village girl?"

Shen Nanzhi could only use the word speechless to describe his feelings at the moment. Even his lies were covered up by others.

"Thank you, sir. If you can find foreign merchants, so can others. Although I am ugly, my father has always loved me and taught me many things, including reading, writing, accounting, housework, business and farming."

The dead Butcher Shen was taken out and used again, to thank him for teaching the child to read, which made it easier for Shen Nanzhi to act.

Later, I will offer a big pig's head to Dad and worship him properly. Or I can burn a few beautiful girls for Dad so that he will have someone to serve him?

Shen Nanzhi's thoughts were a little distorted. She wondered what expression Butcher Shen would have when he received the woman.

Mr. Xie laughed, "It's my luck to know Miss Shen. Sit down and have some tea. Do you think this wine can be sold?"

Just as he was about to speak, Xie Jin rushed in, "Dad, I have something to tell you, it's urgent."

"Didn't you see your father entertaining guests? You don't know the etiquette, leave."

Xie Jin glanced at Shen Nanzhi and said, "Where did Dad find this girl? She's pretty, but she's too fat. If Dad marries her, won't she be crushed to death?"

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

Mr. Xie began to take off his boots and beat the outspoken and rebellious son to death.

Shen Nanzhi said: "Thank you, sir. Wait a minute."

Mr. Xie thought she was begging for mercy for his son, but she broke the chair leg directly. "Mr. Xie, use this to beat the child. Beat the child hard and early, so that he can remember it."

Mr. Xie: “…”

Xie Jin: "You ugly woman are so vicious, Dad, where did you come from? Send her away quickly, how can our family allow such a vicious and ugly woman to come to our house!"

Shen Nanzhi was not angry. Although some people have grown up, they are still naughty children at heart and deserve a beating!

"Thank you, Master. Are you still not going to fight?"

"Beat me, I'm going to beat you to death, you stinky boy, you know nothing but you humiliate the guests, I think you've been studying for so many years but it's all in vain."

Master Xie picked up the table leg and chased out to beat him. Shen Nanzhi grabbed a handful of peanuts and started eating them, occasionally flicking one out, leaving Xie Jin no way to dodge. Master Xie's stick hit her back and butt hard, and she screamed in pain instantly.

Mrs. Xie was shocked. "Why are you beating the child? Are you going to kill him? I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. If you want to hit someone, hit me first."

Shen Nanzhi took a sip of tea and said, "Sure enough, someone is protecting him, otherwise this kid wouldn't dare to be so outspoken, and he would suffer sooner or later.

Loving mothers often spoil their children. The ancients were right. "

The old steward of the Xie family who was standing by and serving could not help but look at her deeply. This girl was really insidious. She caused the young master to be beaten and still made sarcastic remarks.

Shen Nanzhi suddenly glared back at him, "Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"I dare not discuss the master's affairs."

What it means is that as an outsider, you should not interfere in other people's family affairs.

Shen Nanzhi had nothing to do anyway, so he took the opportunity to chat with Manager Xie while watching the fun. "You, it's not right to think like that.

Old slaves like you have served the master all your life, just like your own family members. If the young master is incompetent, you servants will not have a good life.

I think your young master has a kind nature, but he is too naive and doesn't know how to control his words. If he were to negotiate business with someone, he would be cheated and count money for others. If this business were handed over to him, he would lose it sooner or later, right?"

"The young master is still young and lacks experience, but he will change slowly."

"Maybe your wife thinks the same way. How young is he? He's old enough to be a father. Brains are not determined by age. They are innate. If you don't teach him later, he will become useless sooner or later."

Butler Xie: "..."

You just can't stand to see our young master being good. Even though the young master deserves a beating, it's not the place for outsiders to lecture him.

Awkwardly silent, Shen Nanzhi continued to eat the snack, "This snack is too dry and tastes average. Try the ones I made later."

Butler Xie was even more speechless. This girl really didn't consider herself an outsider.

Mr. Xie finally came back, panting angrily: "You want to piss me off to death, you rebellious son, why did I give birth to someone like you?"

Shen Nanzhi added fuel to the fire: "Children are all debts, just bear it, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Mr. Xie should calm down and learn to get used to it."

Mr. Xie: “…”

It felt like she was comforting herself, but it felt weird.

Xie Jin and Mrs. Xie came in together, rubbing their buttocks and legs, looking at Shen Nanzhi with fear in their eyes.

Mrs. Xie was dissatisfied, "Who is this girl?"

"I invited him to give the winery's new brew a heads-up. He's a friend. Didn't you hear the bullshit your son said? Who would say that about a guest?"

Shen Nanzhi nodded and greeted: "Hello, Madam Xie. I am not qualified to seduce your master in my current state. You don't have to be on guard against me."

Mrs. Xie blushed, "I don't think so."

Mr. Xie asked his son, "It's not time for a rest yet, why are you back? Have you gotten into trouble?"

Xie Jin quickly said, "No, I want to borrow some money from the account office. My classmate is in trouble and needs money urgently. I have to help him!"

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

Could it be Jiang Chen?

"How much?"

Mr. Xie is not a miser. His son wants money to help his classmates. They will be friends in the future, so the money must be spent.

Shen Nanzhi shouted, "Wait a minute, Mr. Xie, you should ask clearly why Mr. Xie's classmate wants to borrow money? How much does he want to borrow? Otherwise, he will be cheated. Mr. Xie is so innocent, I am afraid he will meet bad friends."

"Yes, explain it clearly."

Xie Jin had no choice but to tell the truth. Shen Nanzhi listened carefully and nodded continuously, as if he was not talking about her.

"That vicious woman is so hateful. Brother Jiang should pay the money to get rid of her. Brother Jiang has a miserable life, being cheated by such a vicious woman.

As a classmate, I can't just stand by and watch him die, right? It's only four hundred taels, anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal."

Shen Nanzhi: "..."

Is this the original origin of this sentence?

Mr. Xie disagreed: "This is someone else's family affair. We can't just listen to one side of the story. Let someone check it out. Four hundred taels is not a small sum. Why don't you try to earn four taels of silver for me? Have you become stupid from studying? Four hundred taels is our family's monthly expenses. How can it not be a small sum?"

Shen Nanzhi said: "No need to investigate, just ask me."

"Why am I asking you? Do you know?"

"Because no one knows better than me, because I am the vicious woman you mentioned, Jiang Chen's wife, but we are divorced already, so he has to pay me back if he borrows money from me."

Everyone in the Xie family: "..."

You've heard so much, but now I'm saying you're the person involved. That's so embarrassing.

Shen Nanzhi continued, "My father saved Jiang Chen, so I asked him to marry me. This is not too much, right?"

Everyone nodded, thinking it was not too much, after all, it was a life-saving favor.

"My dowry of more than 100 taels of silver was spent by their family. They also drove me to live in a thatched cottage. Everyone in the village knows about it. Do you think the Jiang family is right?"

The Xie family shook their heads: "That's not right, this is taking your dowry."

"Jiang Chen also thought I was ugly and didn't consummate the marriage with me. He also blamed me for not having children. I had to adopt a child because I wanted a complete family. Am I wrong?"

"No, Miss Shen is too pitiful."

Mrs. Xie was heartbroken. She knew how painful it must be for her not to be recognized by her husband's family. As a woman, she understood it better.

Shen Nanzhi wiped the corners of his eyes and continued, "That's fine, but he actually had sex with his neighbor's sister in broad daylight in the back hills, and the whole village saw it. Where can I put my face?"

“It’s so exciting!”

Mrs. Xie's eyes lit up and she actually thought it was quite beautiful.

Shen Nanzhi found it funny. Women's focus is always off.

"He also took that woman as a concubine, using the same standards as a principal wife. If it were you, would you be able to tolerate it?"

"I can't stand it. Beating him to death is not too much."

Xie Jin was confused. Who was right?

"This case was just sentenced the day before yesterday. The county magistrate personally made the judgment, and Jiang Chen has also pleaded guilty. You will find out if you ask around.

Moreover, he owes me six hundred taels of silver, and he wants to borrow four hundred taels from you. He really treats you as his own brother and spends your money as if it were his own."

Mr. Xie's face darkened: "This Jiang guy is too bullying. Does he think that there is no one in my Xie family who is easy to bully?"

"It's not that he's easy to bully, it's that your young master is easy to deceive. If I were in his place, I would also want to attack him."

Xie Jin blushed: "You are lying, Jiang Chen is not such a despicable person."

"Whatever you think, I can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Mr. Xie, if you think you are right, then lend him the money. I can get my money back sooner."

"You don't have to tell me, I will definitely lend it to you. I believe in Brother Jiang."

"The best brother in the world, I admire you so much."

Mr. Xie's face turned red with shame. This stupid son was so embarrassing. He never realized he was so stupid before.

"I don't have money. If you want to borrow money, find a way yourself. Don't ask me for it. If you spend my money and don't obey me, do I think I'm the one who's taking advantage of you?"

Let the victim be the one who suffers the most and stop coming to me to clean up the mess all the time.
