Lucky men are the last to have children, and fertile women are the last to have children

Chapter 485: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 35
In the evening, the sky of Fengqi County was dyed with a gorgeous sunset. Under the reflection of this afterglow, the whole city looked more prosperous and charming.

The streets and alleys have already become bustling with people coming and going, showing the vitality and vigor of this city everywhere.

Li Mingxuan came to the door of the wing room where Chen Mufeng and Zhang Shuhan lived with great interest, knocked gently on the door, and called out, "Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, are you in the room?"

Inside the house, Chen Mufeng was practicing calligraphy. During the imperial examinations, in addition to writing brilliant essays, having good handwriting was also very important.

It’s just like a person’s face. If he can’t even write well, it’s hard for the examiner to like him.

Because he was practicing so hard, he didn't notice Li Mingxuan's voice.

Zhang Shuhan, who was reading a policy paper nearby, heard it. He quickly put down the book, stood up, opened the door, and let the person in.

When Chen Mufeng heard the noise, he put down his pen, stopped practicing, and walked over with a smile.

"Hahaha, you two really work hard, no wonder you write such good articles."

Li Mingxuan walked in with a smile, his eyes swept across the desk in the room, looking at the wet ink and the unfolded books, he admired the diligence of the two even more.

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? I just practiced writing."

Chen Mufeng smiled faintly. He was tall and straight, with an elegant temperament. He asked again, "Brother Li, why are you here now?"

Zhang Shuhan also looked at him. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of inquiry.

"I saw that it was time for dinner, so I came here to invite you to eat. I have reserved a table at Zuixianlou, let's go together. You have just arrived in Fengqi County, so it's a good opportunity to see how prosperous Fengqi County is and see how other students are doing. It can be considered as a preliminary test, hehe."

Li Mingxuan looked at the two of them and did not hide anything. He stated his purpose truthfully with a hearty laugh.

Chen Mufeng knew that Li Mingxuan meant well, so he didn't refuse. "Brother Li is right. We should go out for a walk."

Although Zhang Shuhan didn't want to go out, he couldn't refuse at this time, so he followed him out.

Chen Xiutian did not follow him out and stayed in the villa.

It is not convenient for him to follow in such occasions.

On Yu Yao's side, after a non-stop journey, the carriage has arrived in Mangkhut County.

She and driver Wang stopped briefly in Mangkhut County to eat something and resolve some personal issues before continuing on their journey.

In Shijing Village, in a small courtyard, is Yu Yao’s parents’ home.

At this time, the place was in chaos.

Chen Xiuyuan had a painful look on his face. At this moment, he was being pinned to the ground and beaten with fists and kicks by Yu Yao's two brothers, Yu Dazhuang and Yu Erzhuang.

Yu Dazhuang beat and scolded: "My good sister married your Chen family, and your mother stole my sister's money, which is fine, but you also told her to get out. Do you really think that there is no one in our Yu family?"

"That's right, Chen Xiuyuan, I'm telling you, my sister is missing, and if your Chen family doesn't pay you 30 taels of silver, this matter will be forgotten."

Yu Erzhuang also said this viciously, but his hands did not stop moving.

The two men did not dare to really kill him, they just wanted to scare Chen Xiuyuan and ask for 30 taels of silver.

If my sister hadn't run away, even if she couldn't live with Chen Xiuyuan, she could still remarry with her looks, and then she could receive a betrothal gift.

Now that the person has run away, where can they collect the betrothal gift? Naturally, Chen Xiuyuan will have to pay for it.

As for where Yu Yao went or whether she was dead or alive, they didn't care.

Yu Yao's parents were watching on the side, looking angry and cursing. They kept saying things like "my poor daughter, you must pay me compensation."

She seemed sad and worried about her daughter, but every word she said was about money.

The neighbors nearby rolled their eyes when they heard this, secretly cursing the Yu family for being shameless. Not only was it not enough to sell their daughter for the first time, but now that she was missing, they didn't even think about looking for her and just wanted to extort money from her.

If you don’t know this, you might think Yu Yao was picked up by this family.

Chen Xiuyuan covered his head with his hands, his face livid, "Don't go too far, when Yao Niang married me, your family asked for 30 taels of silver, and didn't give her a dowry, what parents would be like this? Yao Niang just had a quarrel with my mother and left, I was looking for her everywhere, you didn't help, but you actually wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money, do you still have any conscience?"

After hearing this, Yu Dazhuang stopped what he was doing and glared at Chen Xiuyuan fiercely. "Humph! Conscience? We raised my sister to such an age and married her to your Chen family. What's wrong with accepting a little betrothal gift? Now my sister is missing. She must have been wronged by your family and ran away. This 30 taels of silver is compensation for my sister. Stop talking nonsense and take it out quickly!"

I thought that with 30 taels of silver, I could renovate the house and send my two sons to school, but I didn't know if it would be enough.

Then he regretted it again, "Oh, why didn't I ask for 50 taels? The Chen family is rich, they will definitely be able to pay for it."
They are the ultimate vampires.

Yu Erzhuang's face was full of greed, and he also chimed in, "That's right, don't think we don't know the situation of your Chen family. Your mother treated my sister badly on weekdays. Now that she is gone, you have to take responsibility!"

Yu Yao's mother, Zhang, sat on the ground crying and wiping her tears. She screamed at the top of her lungs for a long time, but no tears came out.

"My poor daughter, she happily married into the Chen family and thought she would live a good life, but who could have imagined that she would suffer so much injustice. Now she is gone and we don't know whether she is dead or alive. You, the Chen family, must pay compensation, otherwise how can we be worthy of my poor daughter!"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Chen Xiuyuan, thinking in her mind how to spend the 30 taels of silver.

She thought that she would first take out a part of the money to buy some new clothes for her two sons and grandsons, then buy some good wine and food to improve the family's meals, and save the rest, as it might be useful in the future.

Father Yu frowned and pretended to be heartbroken and said to Chen Xiuyuan: "My poor daughter, you must have suffered a lot in your Chen family. You must pay this money, otherwise our Yu family will not let it go!"

The neighbors around couldn't help but whisper about it when they heard Zhang and Old Man Yu's hypocritical crying.

"Look at this Yu family, they are so greedy. They didn't even think about looking for their daughter when she disappeared, but instead they were thinking about extorting money from the Chen family, and they're even pretending to cry here."

"That's right, Zhang and Old Man Yu are too much. How can parents be like this? They treat their daughter as a tool to make money."

Chen Xiuyuan was pinned to the ground and unable to move, feeling angry and helpless.

He shouted at Zhang, "Mother-in-law, please stop pretending to cry here. If you really care about Yao Niang, you should come with me to find her instead of trying to blackmail me. Yao Niang has suffered a lot in the Chen family over the years, but I have never seen you stand up for her. Even when I was paralyzed for so long, you never came to see me. I know how you treat Yao Niang."

When Zhang heard this, she stopped crying immediately, glared at Chen Xiuyuan and cursed: "You heartless little bastard, how dare you say that I don't care about my daughter? My daughter suffered a lot in your family, and now she is gone. What's wrong with me asking for some compensation? If you don't take out the 30 taels of silver, I will go around the village and publicize your Chen family's evil deeds, and let everyone know how you bullied my daughter!"

Right here, Chen Xiuhe rushed over and saw his third brother being pinned to the ground and beaten, and being extorted for money. He instantly became furious.

Without saying a word, he picked up the carrying pole in the yard and started beating Yu Dazhuang and Yu Erzhuang with extreme cruelty.

He beat and scolded: "You two bastards, how dare you bully people in broad daylight and even extort money? Do you really think our Chen family is easy to bully?"

Yu Dazhuang and Yu Erzhuang did not expect Chen Xiuhe to suddenly appear and attack them. They were caught off guard and quickly let go of Chen Xiuyuan and dodged everywhere.

Yu Dazhuang dodged and cursed: "Chen Xiuhe, you dare to hit us, aren't you afraid that we will go to the government to sue you?"

Chen Xiuhe snorted coldly, beating him and cursing at the same time: "Go ahead and sue us, you Yu family, with your ugly faces, let's see if the government will punish you for blackmail! Humph, you bully my third brother and still want to extort money, today I will let you know how powerful I am!"

Yu Erzhuang covered his head and ran away, "This is a matter between us and Chen Xiuyuan, it has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's business!"

"My third brother's business is my business. You, the Yu family, treat my third brother like this and still want to leave me alone. No way!"

As Chen Xiuhe spoke, he swung the carrying pole in his hand even more vigorously, beating Yu Dazhuang and Yu Erzhuang until they screamed and picked up the carrying pole to fight back.

Chen Xiuyuan also picked up a carrying pole and went forward to help, fearing that his second brother would suffer.

The two sides started fighting each other, and the scene was very lively.

Things in the yard were smashed into a mess, as if bandits had broken into the house.

Zhang didn't dare sit on the ground and cry hypocritically. She quickly got up and went into the house, fearing that the carrying pole would fall on her.

But he hid at the door and watched.

Old Man Yu also quickly hid in the house, frowning, thinking that the Chen family was so tough, it would be difficult to get the 30 taels.

He wondered in his heart whether he should reduce the amount of silver.

But I was unwilling to lose more money.

If the daughter didn't run away, she could get remarried and receive a dowry after returning home, which would definitely not be less than 30 taels, because their daughter is so beautiful.

If I become the old man's concubine, he would ask for even more money. I feel like I'm losing out no matter how I think about it.
