She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

After Old Yang finished speaking, he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he slowly spoke again, "It was Wen Wuyan's bad luck. While working, he broke a family heirloom of our boss, which was worth ten taels of silver. At that time, the boss only asked him to pay nine taels and five hundred coins because of his hard work. A few days later, the boss went to another canal section for something, and it was during those days that Wen Wuyan injured his leg and was sent back home. When our boss came back and learned about this, he immediately sent the four of us here to collect the nine taels and five hundred coins."

When Gu Qingqing heard this, she looked at Wen Wuyan. This, this seemed a little different from what was said before.

The solution she heard Wen Wuyan and the workers talking about in the kitchen was that he lost money gambling at the construction site and had no choice but to borrow money from the manager. Even if it wasn't usury, since it was a loan, the principal had to be repaid.

How come Old Yang is now saying that he broke something valuable and needs to pay for it?

Gu Qingqing only thought about it for a moment, but she was filled with respect for Old Yang in her heart.

Before, she and Wen Wuyan had been thinking in a one-sided way, just thinking of a way to break off the engagement. They didn't think about whether it would affect his studies in the future if Wen Wuyan really had borrowed the money at high interest.

This time after Old Yang said this, it seemed like he had accidentally damaged someone else's valuables and he only had to pay compensation.

The result is a consistent loss of money, but the process is full of meaning.

"Ten taels of silver? What is worth ten taels of silver?"

"Yes, but don't think that we are farmers and don't know much, so you can deceive us."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, is there any evidence?"

After Wu Shan spoke first, the people who came also started talking at once.

Old Yang calmly pressed his hands, still looking good-tempered, "Don't worry, don't panic. You can also consult Wen Wuyan about this matter. Of course, since we are here, we naturally brought the things with us, but because of other reasons, our boss only gave us half."

"Please look, everyone." Old Yang said as he took out a jade pendant that was only one-third the size of his own from his lapel and shook it in front of everyone.

Gu Qingqing was now standing next to Wen Wuyan. She looked at the jade pendant in Old Yang's hand. Although she couldn't see what the pattern was, just by looking at one corner, it was not difficult to tell that the jade was of high quality and the workmanship was fine.

Wu Shan and Wen Dacheng looked at each other.

Wu Shan sighed. If the other party came to cause trouble, as the village chief, he would naturally not let his villagers be bullied.

But if that's the case...

Wu Shan thought about it, but he stepped forward, looked at Wen Wuyan and asked, "Wuyan, is what this old gentleman said true?"

Wen Wuyan is not stupid, otherwise Old Yang wouldn't have remembered him and made a special trip to give him some writings.

Although Old Yang's words were different from the original, he understood the other party's intention in his heart, and nodded very cooperatively, "I'm sure."

At this time, Old Yang spread his hands to the villagers, as if to say, look, this is it.

The most anxious person was Wen Dacheng. He walked up to Wen Wuyan anxiously and said, "How could this happen? Why didn't you tell us you were back? Ten taels of silver? Where can you get ten taels of silver?"

"Dad, I agreed with the manager that day that I would work harder and pay him back slowly with my wages, but I didn't expect something like this to happen now." Wen Wuyan said and lowered his head, as if looking at his legs.

Wu Shan also frowned. As long as the farmers were not lazy, took good care of their fields, took good care of their chickens, ducks and pigs, dug more wild vegetables, and sold the vegetables grown in their backyards in town, they would be fine.

If a family has few people and little land, they can earn two or three taels of silver from two crops a year. If a family has many people and much land, they can earn about four or five taels of silver.

Let’s not talk about other families, let’s just talk about Wen Wuyan’s family. Although Wu Shan knew what kind of food Wen Wuyan’s family was cooking a few days ago, after all, he came to ask his granddaughter for help at that time.

But in his mind, it's just earning hard-earned money.

Therefore, now, let alone ten taels of silver, it would be his utmost ability to come up with three taels of silver.

Old Yang rubbed his hands and said, "Wen Wuyan, although we were good friends when we were digging the canal, we have received orders from our leader today to bring the silver back no matter what. So, while everyone in your village is here, why don't you help them with some money? You can lend us some silver so that we can report back."

When the topic of moving the money came up, the villagers who had been filled with indignation just now suddenly fell silent.

You look at me, I look at you, and neither of us says a word.

Wen Wuyan's gaze was now directly on Wen Chen who was walking up to him, and Wen Chen also met Wen Wuyan's gaze at the same time.

Even before Wen Wuyan opened his mouth to speak, she spoke first, "Don't look at me, I don't have any money to lend you."

After saying this, Mrs. Wen Chen glanced at Zhang Cuilan who followed her. How could this be a fight? How could this be a murder?

I can't get anything done in a day.

Then he took another look at the cabbages spread on the ground, and his anger rose again.

"Don't forget, we have already separated. What happens to you has nothing to do with us." Wen Chen hastily drew a line between herself and Wen Wuyan.

"Separating the family? This person must be Wen Wuyan's mother, right? My son loves me, and even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. Hey, you are separating the family, not breaking off the relationship. If he is in trouble now and you don't want to give it away for free, you can consider it as a loan to your son, and let him pay it back slowly in the future!"

"It's so easy for you to say that. Why don't you lend him the money?" Mrs. Wen Chen glared at Old Yang with her triangular eyes.

Old Yang chuckled, "At most he and I are just acquaintances. You as parents don't even care about your own son, so it's not my turn to lend him this money. I still say that we must take the money today. If we can't, we will have to live here to guard it, and you will be responsible for our food and drink. You have separated the family, but he broke our leader's jade pendant more than a month ago. At that time, you hadn't separated the family yet, right?" Old Yang said as he swept his eyes over the crowd.

"No points." Wen Dacheng admitted decisively.

When Mrs. Wen Chen heard this, she almost jumped up, waving her arms and yelling at Wen Dacheng, "You are a dead man! Even if we didn't split up the family at that time, so what? What right did he have to come to us for trouble? Don't talk about these nonsense, we don't care about this matter. Since splitting up the family doesn't work, let's break off the relationship! While everyone is here, and the village chief is here too, let's break off the relationship now. Whatever happens to Wen Wuyan has nothing to do with us."

The villagers who came with her seemed to be used to seeing Wen Chenshi saying such things. They just looked at each other and didn't say much.

But the contempt in his eyes was completely undisguised.

This mother is the only one in the village who has done this.
