854, the mother of the unjust death of the son twenty-four
"What kind of concubine?" Mrs. Chang sneered: "The maids in my house have at least been educated for many years and know how to advance and retreat. If someone from a farmer's background and doesn't understand something becomes my son's concubine, then that's my son's fault, okay?
"
"That's her taking advantage of my son!"
The words were extremely contemptuous, and every word was belittling. It was really unpleasant to hear.
The father and son felt bitter in their hearts. Mrs. Chang had never been so mean before. Although Mrs. Chen had only been in jail for a few days, they had seen enough of human kindness, but this was the first time they were pointed at and scolded like this.
Mr. Chen is not one to be offended: "Then what do you want?"
Mrs. Chang did not hesitate: "Cancel the engagement! Cancel the betrothal gift!"
Master Chen said coldly: "It's okay to cancel the engagement, but there is no betrothal gift. She is here anyway. If you like her, just take her away."
Of course Mrs. Chang does not want Li Xiangyu. She has never taken this country girl in her eyes from the beginning to the end. In fact, she also knows that with the Chen family in such a state of decline, it is basically impossible to return the betrothal gift.
She dropped the marriage document in her hand: "Give it to me, I don't want it. Keep the marriage document! Return your share to me."
How did Mr. Chen know about the marriage certificate?
After thinking about it, I asked my son to go to Li Xiangyu's house and search around, and found a bright red and gold-plated marriage certificate.
Mrs. Chang expressed her disdain again before walking away.
When Li Xiangyu woke up again, it was already late. She was lying on the bed with no one around her. When she thought of something, she immediately got up and rummaged through the box.
As soon as the box was opened, it was messily rummaged inside. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, so she took out the things one by one, but she didn't see the marriage certificate. She squatted on the spot, tears streaming down her face, and she just felt
There was despair.
She sat on the ground until dawn. The door was pushed open and Master Chen walked in. He said in a cold voice: "Sister, follow me into the city."
Li Xiangyu subconsciously asked: "What to do?"
Master Chen frowned: "Don't ask! Just follow me."
How could Li Xiangyu really not ask?
Nowadays, if the Chen family does not want to do the same, they will starve to death in a short time. When Master Chen came back from the city yesterday, his face was dejected. Without asking, he knew that he had been rejected.
If the Lin family ignores the Chen family, then this Zhuangzi may not be able to live there for long. Under such circumstances, what good can Master Chen do if he asks her to go to the city?
However, staying may not really bring you happiness.
For a moment, she was in a dilemma. At this moment, she extremely regretted stopping Mrs. Chen that day. If she had not stopped Mrs. Chen and allowed Mrs. Chen to run away, the Yamen would not be able to catch the person, so there would be no conviction. The Chen family would not have to worry.
Raise the money and return it to Yuan Wanhua.
Then, the Chen family will not be kicked out, and she will not have to face such hardship.
Money can't buy it, I already knew it.
Who knew that the Yamen only arrested Mrs. Chen herself, but she could drag the entire Chen family into the cliff?
Li Xiangyu took his time, but Master Chen became impatient: "Hurry up! We still have to walk when we enter the city."
When it comes to walking, Li Xiangyu is right. Has she walked very little since she was a child?
The brother and sister entered the city all the way. Li Xiangyu was thinking a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. It would be better if the brother sold her to be a girl, but if he sold her to such a dirty place... she didn't dare to think about it deeply.
Fortunately, as soon as he entered the city, Master Chen found a carriage and said, "Go to the Chang Family Medical Center."
Li Xiangyu felt relieved but also a little confused. After getting on the carriage, he tentatively asked: "Brother, what are we going to do?"
Master Chen whispered: "Didn't you give each other gifts before? Let him pay for it!"
Li Xiangyu: "..."
He also said that they were given to each other, and they didn't return the betrothal gift yesterday, so why did they have the nerve to ask others to return the gift?
This man! He is afraid of being forced to do things. He has a good reputation like Mr. Chen, and even after being forced, he doesn’t care.
Among the three medical clinics of the Chang family, Shuyu'an Medical Clinic is the largest. There are six doctors in it, including the Chang family's father and son.
Master Chen found a woman: "Go and call Dr. Chang. My sister is unwell... please."
She said this half-hiddenly, and the woman suddenly glanced at Li Xiangyu beside her.
Li Xiangyu was confused by what she saw, but she also knew that Master Chen wanted to call Chang Jiu out to talk to him alone.
The woman didn't know what she said, but Chang recovered very quickly. When he saw the brother and sister in the alley, he immediately turned around and left: "We have nothing to do, don't come looking for me."
Master Chen ran around for a while and finally asked someone out. How could he let him run away? With quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed him and said, "How can it be okay? If it hadn't been for my mother's accident, you would have gotten married the day after tomorrow!"
Chang Jiu struggled for a long time, unable to pull out his sleeves, and asked helplessly: "What are you going to do?"
Young Master Chen was careless: "Nothing. I heard that my sister gave you a lot of things before, but now our Chen family can't afford to eat. Yesterday your mother came to break off the engagement. Shouldn't those things be returned to us?"
Chang Jiu: "..."
I really didn't expect there to be such a shameless person in the world. His expression was hard to express: "We also returned the gift! I returned the gift to you, shouldn't you also return the gift from the Chang family to me?"
Master Chen said seriously: "Mr. Chang, we want to get married. Now it's your Chang family who wants to cancel the engagement, but we don't want to cancel. If you don't cancel, the marriage will continue..."
"Quit!" Chang Zhi really despised Li Xiangyu, especially after he wanted to marry her and send his sweetheart away, he only had disgust for her. He really didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
I want to get some money to send people away.
He took out a purse and thrust it roughly into Master Chen's hand: "There are ten taels in it, which is enough. Don't come to me!"
Master Chen didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He was stunned for a moment while holding the purse before he realized what he was doing. He also felt that Chang Shu was so happy to take out the money. If he hesitated a little longer, he would definitely take out more.
Subconsciously, he grabbed the person again.
Chang Jiu looked impatient: "What are you doing again?"
Mr. Chen didn't know what to say. The two families had given each other gifts before. Because of Li Xiangyu's identity, Mrs. Chen was not willing to bother with it. The things she gave were not expensive. Most of them were sachets made by Li Xiangyu himself.
Fan covers and the like.
"My sister worked day and night to embroider a sachet for you. Her fingers were all swollen. Why are you using this to send a beggar to work?"
Greedy!
Chang Jiu frowned: "Don't go too far!"
In fact, he didn't have much money with him. Firstly, it wasn't much, and secondly, if he was given more money, the Chen family would be able to make more money, and maybe there would be a next time.
Master Chen smiled: "I've gone too far. How do you treat me? If you don't give it, I'll tell you that my sister already has your child... Anyway, for Doctor Chang, this won't be the first time." Yue
The more he thought about it, he felt that this method was feasible. He turned around and gave Li Xiangyu a warning look, and continued: "You bullied my sister, and if you want to end the chaos, you have to ask me and my father."
Chang Shu laughed angrily: "I don't even see what she looks like, how could I possibly have a child with her! Just tell me you can? I don't have anyone else in the Chang family, and I have the most doctors!"
Master Chen's smile deepened: "Yes, in this city, who is studying medicine, who dares not to give face to the Chang Family Medical Center? He has this child! If my sister is let down by you and becomes thinner, who do you think outsiders should listen to?
?”
Chang Jiu almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
As Mr. Chen said, if the Chen family insists that Li Xiangyu has a child, and she acts like she has been let down, but the people at the Chang Family Medical Center say no, including the doctors in the city, outsiders will definitely think that he has a child.
After he bullied someone else's girl, he didn't want to take responsibility, so the Chang family used their power to oppress others.
"I don't want more, just give me three hundred taels!" Mr. Chen also stretched out three fingers: "You have to give it readily, and you and our Chen family will never appear in front of you."
Three hundred taels!
The lion really opens his mouth. When did money become so easy to make?
Although Chang Shu did not take over the medical clinic, he sat in the medical clinic all day long, and he probably knew the profits of the medical clinic. If all three medical clinics were successful, he would have to save three hundred taels of silver for a month.
At this moment, Chang Jiu wanted to eat the Chen brothers and sisters! But if he didn't give it, looking at Master Chen's unyielding attitude, he would definitely cause trouble in the future. If he just gave it like this, how could he be willing?
Glancing at the girl behind Mr. Chen who lowered her head and said nothing, he sneered: "Now that you have my child, how can you still be outside? Come on, follow me home!"
Master Chen: "..." I actually admitted it!
Li Xiangyu: "..." As if in a dream, she looked at Master Chen, remembering her fear when entering the city, and nodded: "I'll go with you!"
Often healed and speechless.
He suspected that the brother and sister had laid so much groundwork just to allow him to take the girl back.
Now that things have happened, the Chen family is so willing to take risks. Even if he feels that he is being plotted, he can only admit it.
It was already noon, and the Chang family and his son were going home for lunch.
Mrs. Chang was ordering people to serve food when she saw her son coming back with a girl. She had a bad feeling in her heart, thinking that her son had been coaxed by the vixen outside again. When it became clear that the man had left yesterday
When he kissed the country girl, he suddenly became angry: "Why did you bring her here? You want to go against me, don't you?"
In her opinion, her son must still resent her for sending that woman away!
Chang Jiu was even angrier than her: "Do you think I want to take him?"
Mrs. Chang frowned: "Since you don't want to take her, get her out. When I see her, I will be so upset that I can't eat!"
Chang Jiu said with a cold face: "I'm afraid it won't work."
