Chapter 4 Being Beaten
Chen Jintang looked at the pheasant and his eyes lit up. When she picked the mushrooms, she was still thinking that the stewed chicken was the best. Unexpectedly, her second brother actually beat the pheasant.
Chen Yunxuan saw her gaze and smiled and lifted the two rabbits tied up in his hand: "Do you like it if your sister? I'll raise it for you when I get home."
Chen Jintang shook her head, pointed to the pheasant carrying Chen Yunxuan on his other hand and said excitedly: "Second brother, let's eat mushrooms to stew chicken tonight!" She pointed to the mushrooms picked in her backpack and said: "Look, I have picked a lot of mushrooms."
Chen Yunxuan looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, although there are many bacteria in the mountain, you can't eat them randomly, as they will be poisoned."
"Second brother, don't worry, the ones I picked are all non-toxic and can be eaten." Chen Jintang said.
Chen Yunxuan was puzzled: "How do you know which ones are poisonous and which are not poisonous?"
"I read it in the book." Chen Jintang said.
Chen Yunxuan thought of the days when his sister was reading books at home and became silent.
When the brother and sister went back, they saw a group of people around their doorstep from afar.
A wailing sound came from the crowd.
"It's the second uncle's voice." Chen Yunxuan frowned and pulled Chen Jintang into the crowd.
I saw Shen Song being tied up by a tall man, with a few innocent faces standing beside him, and he kicked him a few times from time to time.
Opposite them, Chen Mu, Wu Qiuniang and Shen Yunzhe stood with their pale faces.
Chen Jintang's grandfather and grandmother were begging Chen Mu: "Amu, he is your brother. If you don't use money to save him, he will be beaten to death!"
Chen Mu looked at his parents with a look of disappointment and pain: "Dad, I can't take out twenty taels of silver! Our family has no land, and we need to spend money to buy food and drink. How can we save so much money?"
As soon as Chen Mu said this, Chen Yukang and his wife were a little short of breath. Chen Yukang coughed a few times and said to him: "Not twenty taels, you can give ten taels of silver, and we will pay ten taels of silver."
At this moment, the people kicked Shen Song a few more times, and the kicks made Shen Song howl: "Don't kick, don't kick. I really don't know that Wan'er has a husband. She told me that her husband had died long ago, oh..."
The men punched and kicked him after hearing this, and said fiercely: "Wan'er said something different from what you said. Wan'er said you forced her."
Shen Song was pale and wanted to defend himself when he heard this, but was shaved and stolen on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, twenty taels of silver, no one can be left."
This was said to Chen Yukang and his wife and Shen Mu.
The old couple Chen Yukang had long felt so distressed that they covered their hearts and shouted at me.
When Chen Jintang saw this, he understood.
It turned out that Shen Song and a married woman named Wan'er had sex with him. She was discovered by someone else's husband and fed twenty taels of silver.
The old couple Chen Yukang couldn't afford so much money, so they took them to their house to ask their father for it.
But it's really shameless.
The tall man in the head turned his gaze to Chen Mu again. Seeing him wearing a long gown, he couldn't help but tug his lips and said, "Mr. Chen, if you teach in the town, you must have two taels of silver for a month. In this year, even if you need to spend money to buy food and drink, you have to save five or six taels of silver, right?"
When the onlookers heard this, they whispered to each other.
"Why is Mr. Chen so much money for repairing a month? After farming for a year, we can save two or three taels of silver if we save food and drink."
Chen Mu looked a little angry. These people obviously just asked for it and deliberately came to cheat them.
It is true that he spends two taels of silver a month, and he doesn't have much money to eat or drink.
But his family not only only eats and drinks, but also gives his parents five hundred filial piety money every month, but also buys pens, ink, paper and ink, which are all expensive.
"A Mu, they are right. You can easily earn two taels of silver in a month, but you can't spend much food and drink. Why can't you get ten taels of silver? They beat your brother!"
While talking, Old Woman Shen beat Chen Mu angrily.
Seeing this, Wu Qiuniang hurriedly stepped forward with a heartache to block Chen Mu's fist.
"Mom, don't do this. Our family has a lot of money. Azhe and Axuan need to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone to go to school. They ask us to take out ten taels of silver. It's really a embarrassment for us."
Chen Jintang had been full of anger when he saw that Old Wives Shen punched her mother mercilessly, she couldn't help but rush forward and clenched Old Wives Shen's wrist.
"Grandma, are you too biased? It was your youngest son who did something unethical. You didn't hit him? But you came to hit my parents. What's the reason?" Chen Jintang sneered.
Old Woman Shen didn't expect to be questioned like this by her granddaughter. The force that grasped her wrist was like an iron chain. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. Her face couldn't help but turn blue and white, and she couldn't help but say ruthlessly: "You fool, what do you know? Why don't you let me go quickly!"
Chen Mu sighed and said bitterly: "Okay, okay, I'll give you ten taels of silver."
As he said that, he signaled Wu Qiuniang to get it.
Wu Qiuniang hesitated for a moment and wiped her tears and said, "That's the travel fee you are going to take the provincial examination."
I only had ten taels of silver, but I had saved it for many years.
She knew that her husband was interested in career, but her family had no money to let him take the scientific examination. She finally saved the ten taels of silver to prepare for travel expenses when the provincial examination next year, but now...
Wu Qiuniang wiped her tears and took out the silver.
The two brothers Chen Yunzhe and Shen Yunxuan stood aside and watched, wanting to stop them, but they also knew that what their father had made up his mind was not something they could stop.
Therefore, he could only glar at the culprit Shen Song.
Seeing that his sister-in-law had taken out the silver, Shen Song was excited and shouted sharply: "Sister-in-law, father-in-law, give them the silver, your son will be beaten to death."
Chen Jintang stopped Wu Qiuniang. She looked at Chen Yukang and old lady Shen and said, "This money is the travel expenses my parents have saved for many years and are preparing to take the provincial examination. Just giving it to others like this is equivalent to breaking his future."
Her eyes became colder inch by inch: "When you split the family, you didn't share acre of land with us, and you even asked my father to take out five hundred cents every month to honor you."
