Chapter 6 Playing as a Pig and Eating a Tiger
The villagers now knew that Old Mrs. Shen was pretending to be dizzy.
"The patriarch and the village chief are here."
A loud voice spread at the entrance of the village, and the villagers stood aside.
The patriarch had a slightly white hair, a slightly long white beard, wearing a brown thin-faced dress, with his hands on his back, and walked over with a serious expression.
Behind him was the village chief, a middle-aged man in his thirties frowned when he saw Chen Tingtang lying on the ground.
Chen Tingyu ran to Chen Shiyun and patted his chest, "Second sister, I really invited the patriarch and the village chief."
Chen Shiyun patted his head and smiled warmly.
The patriarch's face was serious and looked at the three Shen family members, with disheveled clothes and disheveled faces.
He looked at Chen Shiyun squatting on the ground again, and his sleeves showed the crisscrossing scars on his arms.
His face changed and he asked, "Yunjun, who did you get your injury?"
When they came here, some villagers had already told him about the matter here, but they didn't say anything about the injury.
Chen Shiyun lowered her head and cried out in grievance.
Old Mrs. Shen's face turned pale. Just as she was about to speak, Aunt Zhang spoke loudly, "It was the Shen family and Ren Jiazi who fought. Yunjun not only had many injuries on her arms, but also had many injuries on her body. Just now, several aunts saw it."
The women walked out and nodded repeatedly, "Class leader, we all saw with our own eyes that Yunyun had many injuries, old and new injuries."
The patriarch's face darkened, and his round eyes glared at Old Lady Shen, "Chen Maizi is your son after all, and Yunjun is also your granddaughter. He died and left behind the orphans and widows. If you treat them like this, aren't you afraid that Chen Maizi will die with your eyes open?!"
Old Mrs. Shen wanted to refute, but everyone stared at her.
In addition, what Chen Shiyun said was reasonable and well-founded, no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. Everyone knew that she sold the dead girl to a son.
Old Mrs. Shen started to sing a trick, sat on the ground, and started crying, "I'm also doing it for Yunjun's good. Our Shen family is poor and can't afford to raise her anymore. I just thought about selling her to a son. It's better for a son to find her a good place than wandering in Shanghe Village."
Chen Guzi also helped Old Mrs. Shen up and stared at Chen Shiyun, "Look at it that makes you angry!"
Chen Shiyun sneered in her heart, she is such a shameless beast!
She ignored them, stood up and looked at the patriarch, 'stubbornly' and wiped away the tears in her eyes, "Class Chief, I want to return the money I have to sell to me now. When the people find me, I will return the money to them."
When Old Mrs. Shen heard this, she spoke directly, "No!"
She also has to use the fourth brother to take the scholar exam. If she pays it back, how can the fourth brother still take the scholar exam?
The patriarch looked at Old Mrs. Shen, his eyes full of majesty, "You sold Yunjun to someone else's son, just made a big mistake. I'm going to make the decision today. You must return this money to Yunjun, otherwise according to the rules of Shanghe Village, your Shen family will move out of Shanghe Village from now on!"
The patriarch spoke, and Old Mrs. Shen had no choice but to hold her breath and said, "Just one tael of silver, I will give it to her when I go back later."
One tael of silver?
The villagers were a little confused, and some sneered.
The patriarch and the village chief frowned, with some suspicion.
Chen Shiyun shook her head, her voice full of grievances, "Grandpa, when the clan leader beat me, he said that they spent fifteen taels of silver to buy me, and wanted to sell me to the yard to make a lot of money. Fortunately, I escaped."
Fifteen taels of silver?!
The old lady of the Shen family cheated people!
He said that he found a good family for Chen Shijun, but he was going to be sold to the yard after being hungry and lost weight!
In the place of the gouyuan, the innocent girl has entered and she will never come out in her life.
Old Mrs. Shen was stunned and reacted and shouted, "Bad, how could it be fifteen taels of silver, it was obviously eight taels of silver!"
The eight taels of silver were priced only if she had worn out her mouth.
The patriarch's face looked even more ugly, and his eyes looked at Old Mrs. Shen with a little disgusting.
Chen Shiyun looked honest and looked at the patriarch sincerely, "Grandpa, I didn't tell any lies. They kept saying that I had spent fifteen taels of silver to buy me."
The patriarch looked at the person opposite him, and his face was fat and bloated.
But those eyes were as bright as stars, with tears in their eyes, as if they could speak, and they were pitying when they blinked.
He also has a granddaughter, who is as big as Shen Shiyun, but his fate is completely different.
The patriarch looked at Old Mrs. Shen coldly and scolded, "The fifteen taels of silver must be returned to Yunjun today. If you don't pay it back, your Shen family will move out of Shanghe Village today. You don't want you to step into Shanghe Village again in the future!"
The villagers all knew that the patriarch was really angry. After all, it was better to be a beast to be able to do something that would sell his granddaughter!
Old Mrs. Shen cried out loudly, but she didn't give her money.
Their Shen family is all men, and it costs a lot of money to marry a wife, and the fourth grandson also costs a lot of money to go to school. Now the family has only thirty taels of silver.
Asking her to give Chen Shiyun fifteen taels is equivalent to killing her half of her life!
Chen Shiyun's eyes were slightly narrowed, and a sarcasm swept quickly.
She looked at the patriarch with a gentle voice, with a little cowardice in her mouth, "Grandpa, if it really doesn't work, please go to the yamen to report to the officials. I want to sue them. I don't want to swallow my anger. I'm afraid that my grandma will sell me again."
The patriarch frowned. If Mrs. Shen still didn't pay, she would have to report to the official.
This incident happened to Shanghe Village. When it was reported, the patriarch was embarrassed, and it was better not to report to the officials.
He looked at the old lady Shen who was making trouble and scolded, "Caohua, do you give this fifteen taels of silver? If you don't give it, I will not only drive your Shen family out of Shanghe Village, but also take you to the county government to seek justice for Yunjun!"
Old Mrs. Shen stopped crying in fear, and Chen Guzi didn't dare to say anything.
"I will give this fifteen taels of silver to Yunjun now."
Old Man Shen’s voice came from a distance, holding a dry tobacco pole in his hand and walking with his back hunched.
Old Mrs. Shen was reluctant and wanted to stop her from acting.
Old Man Shen stared at Old Mrs. Shen, holding a dry tobacco pole and swung her twice, "You are the ones who have caused this to happen. Now, no matter how much it costs, you must give it to Yunjun, unless you think that our family and all of us were driven out of Shanghe Village and went to the yamen to have a meal together!"
Old Man Shen doesn't get angry on weekdays, but when he gets angry, Old Mrs. Shen is still afraid.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she didn't say anything in the end, and gave it to her. When she got back, she must take back the money!
Old man Shen took out fifteen taels of broken silver and handed it over to Chen Shiyun in front of the patriarch and the whole village.
