The life of a country bumpkin actually cost the Qian family such a large sum of money. The old lady felt extremely distressed.
However, Li Dashan is really ruthless. Not only does the lion speak loudly, but he also asks the Qian family to deliver the money to him before the sun sets. Otherwise, he will go and tell the folks outside the Yamen now that the official took the paper from him but had to cover the money.
With the heart of family, he refused to open the court for interrogation for a long time...
There was already a sea of people outside the government office, and the government office also wanted reputation and face, so it just wanted to end the matter quickly, so everyone in the government office began to persuade the Qian family to find a solution quickly.
Mrs. Qian just wanted to vomit blood.
No, she had already vomited blood once. The doctor told her to take a good rest and not to worry anymore, but how could she not worry? Bad things happened frequently in the house these days. If she didn't insist on cleaning up, the Qian family's century-old foundation would be destroyed.
Her hands.
So Mrs. Qian had to drag her weak body to raise money.
Recently, the family had a religious ceremony, and a lot of money was spent on the house and herself. The cash that was originally abundant is now running low.
Recently, the government is preparing for the marriage of Qian Feng and Ni Hong, and a large amount of cash has been spent. The total amount of active silver in the book is now only more than 300 taels.
Mrs. Qian only had four hundred taels of mobile silver left on hand.
The house was already in such a mess, and it was useless for her to have to pay so much money in one go. Originally, she had planned to delay it for two days to think of a solution, but now that the Yamen is forcing her, she is even more worried.
She went to several shops to collect cash, but she only got three hundred taels.
There is still a difference of five hundred taels.
Mrs. Qian could only recruit her second son and wanted to lend him money to make ends meet.
The second son was aggrieved because he was wrongly accused last night, and was thinking of breaking up the family. Now he said that because of the eldest concubine's accident, the family not only had to help fill the hole, but also asked them to get money. The good-tempered second master once again became violent. With this,
What?
"Mother, your heart is so biased! Not only are you going to give everything in this family to my eldest brother and the others, but you are also going to give us all to the eldest brother, right? How do you supplement those two losers in private on weekdays?
, we turned a blind eye and pretended we didn’t see it. But you can’t push yourself too far!
Now, if the eldest brother-in-law is short of money, we will take it, and if anything happens to the eldest brother-in-law, we will bear it. Our second wife is the one who is taken advantage of, right? No! We don’t even have a tael of silver. I and several children also have to live, and we are also in difficulty. In addition, you can also take care of the accounts.
Please make it clear. When the family is divided, what dad promised to give me, I have to get it for my children."
The second master walked away, and the old lady almost had a heart attack.
Rebellious son!
She has always held an unparalleled position in the house, and her son has always respected her and would never talk back to her like this!
Mrs. Qian has recruited a second daughter-in-law.
The second wife also had a dark face.
"I think I need to tell you something. The Taoist priest you invited home last time, it was you who emphasized how efficacious and powerful he was, so I invited him to perform a ritual.
As a result, he defrauded me of hundreds of taels of silver."
"What!" The old lady had heard about the Taoist priest's visit to the second house, but she only thought they were doing fortune telling. Who knew they spent so much money!
"Yes. That's why we have no money. The final reason is because you can't identify the person. In the end, this matter is still your responsibility. I am extremely poor over there. If you can, you'd better help me."
Give us some money!"
The second wife is resentful and will not be polite.
"Qian Feng and Qian Xiang, you spend a lot of money to subsidize me. You won't be able to part with us now, right? If you want to subsidize Qian Feng 1,500 taels this time, then we will also need this amount for the second room."
The old lady was furious and scolded her for not understanding priorities.
The second wife waved her hands hastily.
"This matter can be reported to the official for resolution. There is no need to spend this money. You are worried about affecting your eldest brother's official reputation, so you paid this money. Shouldn't you ask your eldest brother to find a solution for this matter? And Li Jingui also said it to his eldest brother.
His son was happy, so it was up to his eldest brother to find a solution.
If you insist on taking money from our room, both the master and I think it is better to report it to the government and let the government investigate it carefully. This will not only help us understand the whole story of the incident, but also reduce the amount of money wasted.
Let a scum like Li Dashan take advantage of this and fuel his arrogance!"
In short, if you don't have any money, force her to report it to the official. If the old lady wants to fill the hole, their second wife will also need a share.
The second wife left without any dignity.
Mrs. Qian was shaking with anger.
They are all traitors!
The eldest son was hundreds of miles away and had no time to ask for help. And the eldest son... She didn't want the eldest son to worry about such trivial matters...
Now, Qian Feng and Qian Xiang were robbed again, and for a while, no one in the house could borrow money.
Another news came from the house, saying that the second bedroom was really packing up and preparing to move out.
Aunt Cai went to persuade her, but the second master only gave her four words: "Cold and disappointing."
At this time, the old lady must not let the second son's family move out. If they leave and start a family separation, the family may find out about the scandal in the house if they follow up. If the second daughter-in-law goes to her parents' house again and talks nonsense...
"The younger brother slept with the elder brother's fiancée, the two brothers fought, and there was a thief in the house..." When word spread about this, the Qian family lost its reputation. As she gets older, she will be known as "incompetent in running the family."
This must never happen.
The old lady sighed, and had no choice but to pack up her collections and go to the pawn shop... After living for most of her life, this was the first time she had to sell off her collections. Thinking about it, her heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached.
.
In this way, the Qian family didn't collect the money until evening. She pawned two thousand taels in silver notes, took 500 taels to appease the second house, and sent the rest to the Yamen.
After receiving the banknote, Li Dashan found several respected people in the village to testify, and after pressing his fingerprints and making a deposit, he promised not to pursue Jin Gui's death, nor to use Jin Gui's death to make trouble with the Qian family, nor to complain about Jin Gui's death.
Question the cause of Jin Gui's death, bury Jin Gui as quickly as possible, and never mention anything about Jin Gui to the outside world...
Except for the government, Mrs. Qian, and the Li family, outsiders only knew that he took money from the Qian family to withdraw the lawsuit. They had no idea how much money he got from the Qian family.
Li Dashan even asked his two sons and Mrs. Zhang to arrange a meal for the villagers, and used that time to secretly hide the silver...
He had thought that the Qian family might not be able to bear this tone, but he felt that with the current crisis, the Qian family would not do anything at least for the next two days, but he never expected that the "Qian family" would be really fearless and arrogant.
It's on the door tonight!...
Tao Ran quickly checked the banknote and felt happy.
In the past two days, I have really struggled with counting money.
That night, plus the 1,400 taels seized from the Taoist priest, she got another 3,000 taels.
She felt that she could be selfish and find a way to realize a dream she had always had.
