Chapter 50 Lao Chen’s dirty tricks

I haven't returned home for many days, and the weather today is even colder than the past few days. Xichun and his group walked in the village, which became a beautiful scenery.

"Hey, you guys are back for the New Year? Long time no see. Is business okay?" As soon as the villagers saw them, they all came forward and wanted to inquire.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can barely make ends meet, Aunt Ma, how are you these days?" Others didn't have any ill intentions, and Xichun was naturally happy to communicate with them.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I can barely eat enough. Your mother's side has made a lot of money this year. I heard it's a lot." Aunt Ma's family and Ma Xiaobao's family are also related, so they can't hide it in this village. How long, but everyone is too embarrassed to ask others how to make money.

"Haha, that's pretty good." Xichun didn't want to say more and went back with Aunt Zhang and the others.

Aunt Liu's family did not do business today. Knowing that Xi Chun was coming back, she had already cleaned her house in advance. It was clean and the garden would not be abandoned. However, the house seemed a bit dilapidated. No one lived there for a long time. Yes, it will naturally be like this.

"Xichun, you two will go to my house for dinner later. I know you are coming back, so I have prepared a lot of dishes. Don't do it yourself." The village chief's wife came to Xichun's house to say hello. The last time Xichun came back, they didn't have it yet. I went back as soon as I had time to invite him to dinner. This time, of course, I wanted to treat him to everything.

"Okay, then I will go to my aunt's house today to try her cooking skills." Seeing that she was sincerely inviting her, Xichun no longer refused.

In the evening, after Xichun tidied up the house, he and Taozi went to the village chief's house. Aunt Zhang had already gone to help.

"Spring is coming, come quickly, I'm about to prepare a meal. I'll be ready in a moment. Let's sit here first." The village chief's wife greeted them first when she saw them entering the house.

"Xichun, come, sit here and talk. Your aunt and the others are in the kitchen, don't worry." The village chief's family has been busy pushing tofu or making bamboo sticks every day in the past year. Naturally, they have made a lot of money, so they are very interested in Xichun. Even more grateful.

"Village chief, are you all okay? These are snacks I bought in the city for my brothers and sisters to try." Xichun took out two packages of snacks.

"Why are you so polite? We don't even have time to thank you. They don't have nothing to eat on weekdays."

"This is just my opinion." After Xichun put down the snacks, the children next to him stared at him. After being looked at by the village chief, he went to the kitchen to help.

"You work hard in the county, so don't be so polite. Otherwise, we would have the nerve to treat you to dinner. This year, our family has been blessed by the joy of spring, and we have made a decent income. We are much better off than before. , even many families in the village have benefited from it, and when everyone mentions the happy spring, they all praise it."

The village chief was very emotional. He was glad that his original decision did not allow talents like Xi Chun to be lost, otherwise they would not be able to continue to benefit.

"Speaking of which, the old Chen family has been really in trouble recently. I think this year, they might come to embarrass Xi Chun." When Uncle Zhang said this, the village chief naturally sighed deeply. .

"Hey, this old Chen family is really careless, Xichun, don't you know, your uncle's family heard that they are going to sell their daughter."

"Selling your daughter? I remember that their family's situation in the village was not in that situation. Why did you think of selling your daughter?" Xichun really didn't know about this. She had been in the county town, and she had never paid attention to the old Chen family. . "I heard that the eldest son of your uncle's family followed someone to the town and learned bad things. He lost money in gambling and was short of ten taels of silver. No, if he couldn't bear the money, he was going to sell your uncle's little girl to the city. The master here will be a maid."

"And there's this matter. No matter how bad the old Chen family is, they can still get some of the money, and the fields they bought back. They can get it with just a little bit, so why are they willing to sell their children to others? Become a slave?" Aunt Zhang had not heard of this either, and was a little surprised now.

"Then what good people can the old Chen family be? Otherwise, Xichun wouldn't have been bullied by them back then. I heard that it was Old Mrs. Chen who brought it up this time. Tell me, is there such an old woman who values ​​boys over girls? My grandson doesn't discipline him, but instead lets his granddaughter sell herself. If her family, Chen Lizhong, doesn't change her ways, I don't think they will end up bankrupt."

The village chief's wife came out with the dishes. When she heard them mention this matter, she naturally took over the conversation.

"Why don't you discipline him like this? It would be bad if you stop being addicted to gambling. Not even a family is enough to defeat him."

"No, that's why we called Xi Chun this time to remind you that I heard that your aunt is making plans for you. Either she wants you to pay back the money for their son, or she wants to discuss other matters. What's your idea? You should be careful and don't leave the village alone, those gamblers have no intentions."

"Okay, I listen to you. I won't leave the village alone. The lesson I learned last time has taught me to remember it."

"That's right, everyone should be more alert during this time. I think Chen Lizhong is also a ruthless person. I'm afraid that he will come to steal your money."

"Let's help keep an eye on it. If anything happens, just shout out. This old Chen family is getting more and more out of place. I think not only Xichun needs to be on guard, but everyone in our village should be careful."

"I have already told the village about this. As the new year is approaching, we must be careful not to let others steal our homes."

After dinner, Xichun and Aunt Zhang's family left. There were still a lot of things waiting to be done at home.

In the house of Lao Chen's family, there was no joy of the New Year at all. Mrs. Du was sitting aside and sighing. Mrs. Du's youngest daughter, Du Xiyue, was also crying. Only her eldest daughter, Chen Xique, was still doing embroidery.

"Mom, I am your daughter too. Do you have the heart to let me work as a maid for others? I heard that in rich families, they beat or scold the girls around them. I, I don't want to be sold."

"Hey, what can I do, mother? Your eldest brother owes gambling debts, and our family can't get out the money. If someone really chops off your brother's hand, what will he do in the future? Your brother hasn't even married yet. Well, are you asking your mother to make your brother unable to find a wife for the rest of his life because of you?"

"Yes, but don't we still have land at home? As long as we sell the land and add the money from grandma, we will definitely be able to pay it back." Chen Xiyue was still unwilling to give up.

"Don't say this in front of your father and your grandmother, otherwise they will have to scold you. That land is the lifeblood of our family. If the land is sold, what will the family eat and wear?"

"Mom, isn't there Chen Xichun? She is also from our Chen family. I heard that she is doing business in the city and has made money. She can definitely pay back the ten taels of silver." After all, she is his biological sister. Chen Xique was doing embroidery while reminded.
