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

Chapter 499: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 49
Early the next morning, Chen Mufeng and his party packed their luggage, got on a carriage, left Fengqi County, and started their journey home.

Li Mingxuan, Zhang Shuhan and others also set off together.

Both of them were from Qingshi Town, so they wanted to go back together, and they talked and laughed along the way.

Only Chen Mufeng was in a bad mood and responded occasionally.

Li Mingxuan and Zhang Shuhan knew that he was reluctant to leave his beloved, so they made fun of him a few times and then said words of comfort to him.

Yu Yao did not go to see him off. With Chen Xiutian around, it was not appropriate for her to show up.

Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said last night, so just wait for Chen Mufeng to come back.

At the same time, three pieces of good news sent two days earlier have arrived in Mangkhut County.

One was from Chen Mufeng, one was from Zhang Shuhan, and the last one was from Li Mingxuan.

When the county magistrate received the news, he was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear. Under his administration, three juren were born in Mangzhu County, including the top scorer in the imperial examination and the top scorer in the imperial examination. This was an incredible political achievement.

The county magistrate was so happy that he asked someone to give a generous gift of money to the official who came to report the good news.

The official from Fengqi County who came to report the good news was sent away.

The county magistrate quickly called out all the people who were beating gongs and drums in the yamen, divided them into three groups and set off towards Qingshi Town with music and drums.

One team went to Li Mingxuan's residence, one team went to Zhang Shuhan's home, and another team went to Chen's home in Quanshui Village.

There has been some trouble at the Chen family these days.

The Yu family caught up with the Chen family and demanded money, saying that if their daughter married into the Chen family, she would be missing or buried, and they would not give up until they paid 30 taels of silver.

It was naturally impossible for Wang to give it. Not to mention that Wang would not give it, the other people in the Chen family would not agree to it either.

Wang stood in the yard every day and cursed loudly. Her curses were extremely ugly. From the eighteen generations of ancestors to the unborn descendants, all were cursed by her.

The Yu family is originally a group of vampires and scoundrels, so they would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to ask for money.

If I didn't give him money, he would come to my house and make trouble every day. The village head had stepped in to mediate several times, but it was of no use.

One family made a fuss about asking for money, but the other refused to give it and even asked the Yu family to return the betrothal gift.

They said that the Chen family married Yu Yao into the family, but she didn't even lay an egg for the Chen family, which was really a loss. Not only did they not give her anything, they also made a fuss and asked the Yu family to return the 30 taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

The original purpose of the Yu family was to get money, so how could they be asked to return the betrothal gift?

Look, they started making trouble again today. Even the head of the village couldn’t stop them and no amount of persuasion was of any use.

Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Yu were covered in feces and urine, which were splashed by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qian.

The two of them are both strong-willed people, so naturally they won't suffer any losses.

Qian stayed at her parents' home for a few days and was then taken back by Chen Xiuhe. She and her mother-in-law shared a common hatred for the enemy, and she never stopped swearing and cursing.

Even though Zhang considered herself to be a strong-willed person, she could not withstand the joint attack from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

She was covered in feces and urine, which made her feel very disgusted.

She put her hands on her waist, pointed at the people in the yard and cursed, "You Chen family are really too much. My daughter was a healthy person, and she entered your Chen family's gate. Now where is she? No one can find her alive or dead. You must pay me money."

Yu Dazhuang waved his hoe and shouted at the top of his voice: "That's right, if you don't give me the money today, I will demolish your Chen family's yard. Let's see if you can still be stubborn!"

Yu Erzhuang also joined in, holding a wooden stick in his hand, hitting the ground continuously and shouting for silver.

Wang was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips and cursed back, "You are a bunch of vampires, bedbugs in the toilet, dirty things. You are crazy about money. If you want money, return the 30 silver coins as a betrothal gift first, and then I will consider giving you the money."

The Chen family members all looked unhappy. Everyone could see that the Yu family was blackmailing them.

Chen Xiuyuan couldn't find Yu Yao anywhere, and was disturbed by the Yu family every day, so he was already getting anxious.

He suddenly rushed into the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and cursed fiercely: "You want money, okay, I will kill you first. Anyway, Yao Niang can't be found, and I don't want to live anymore. The worst that can happen is that I kill you and turn myself in to the government office."

The most terrifying thing is when an honest person is pushed to the limit.

He was holding a shiny kitchen knife in his hand, and his posture scared everyone present.

Yu Dazhuang subconsciously took a few steps back, and almost lost his grip on the hoe in his hand, but he still said stubbornly: "You... you dare! If you dare to kill someone, you will go to jail and be sentenced to death by the government."

Mrs. Zhang and Old Man Yu were also frightened to death. Both of them were covered in feces and urine. They didn't care about the smell anymore and just wanted to get away from Chen Xiuyuan who was desperate for his life.

He kept shouting that the third son of the Chen family was crazy and wanted to kill someone.
Old Man Chen quickly grabbed Chen Xiuyuan and said, "Third brother, don't be stupid. Put down the knife. We don't need to risk our lives for these scoundrels!"

Chen Xiuhe also came over and said, "Yeah, Third Brother, calm down and don't do anything stupid."

As he spoke, he carefully took the kitchen knife from his hand.

Seeing the kitchen knife in Chen Xiuyuan's hand being taken away, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The village head was now huddled in a corner of the Chen family's yard, and heaved a sigh of relief. It was not that he did not want to mediate, but that he could not mediate.

The Chen family is okay, they still have some reason.

The Yu family in Shijing Village are complete scoundrels who value money more than their lives.

At this time, a villager, regardless of the smell of feces and urine in the Chen family's yard, rushed over to announce the good news, "Old Man Chen, Aunt Wang, someone from the government office is here, saying that your sixth doctor has passed the imperial examination and will be here soon."

Old Man Chen's face was filled with surprise and he was so excited that he didn't know how to react.

When Wang heard this, she almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Zhao next to her quickly supported her.

Before Wang could even stand firmly, she quickly instructed the brothers Chen Xiuhe and Chen Xiuyuan, "You two, clean up the yard quickly, you can't let the people in the yamen smell the smell of feces and urine in the yard." The brothers Chen Xiuhe and Chen Xiuyuan no longer cared about the Shangyu family, and quickly went to the well to fetch water and wash away the feces and urine in the yard.

Fortunately, the ground in the yard is paved with blue bricks, so cleaning is not difficult.

One is responsible for fetching water and the other is responsible for cleaning.

Old Man Chen, Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Zhao are also helping.

Wang hurried back to the room to change clothes and wash herself. She made sure there was no smell of urine on her body, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

He also took out a string of wedding money.

I saw the Yu family standing stupidly in the yard. Old Man Yu and Zhang were covered in feces and urine and stank.

She frowned and cursed in disgust: "You shameless people, what are you still doing here? Get out of the Chen family right now. If you offend the officials, I will skin you alive."

Her youngest son passed the imperial examination and would be back soon. Wang suddenly became proud and was no longer afraid that the scoundrels from the Yu family would continue to extort money from her.

If these people still dare to extort money, let my youngest son send these scoundrels to jail.

After hearing what Wang said, Chen Xiuhe and Chen Xiuyuan also reacted and were afraid that the smell of feces and urine on Old Man Yu and Zhang would bother the officials and have a bad influence on them.

He stopped what he was doing and chased the family out, cursing as he chased them, "Didn't you hear my mother tell you to get out? If you offend the officials in the government office, you will be in trouble."

Old Man Yu and Zhang both looked extremely unhappy, ashamed and angry.
The sixth son of the Chen family passed the imperial examination and will be an official in the future. How could they dare to continue asking for the money?

He didn't dare to stay any longer and left cursing.

Although Yu Dazhuang and Yu Erzhuang were unwilling to not get the money, they knew that if they continued to make a fuss they would get nothing good and would most likely be sent to jail.

Although they are ruffians, they are not fearless of death. They are just a little more aggressive than others.

Soon he followed.

Villagers from the entire Quanshui Village gathered together. They originally wanted to watch the fun at Chen's house, but were initially kept away by the smell of feces and urine.

The Chen family's yard was quickly cleaned, and everyone washed and tidied up. After making sure that it would not be embarrassing, they quickly asked Chen Xiuhe to go out to greet them.

As soon as Chen Xiuhe went out, the yamen’s team with music and drums arrived.

The official's voice came, "Master Chen Mufeng of the Chen Mansion has won the first place in the imperial examination."

When Wang heard that her youngest son not only passed the imperial examination but also won the first place in the imperial examination, she got so excited that she suddenly wanted to fall backwards.

Qian, who was behind, was trying desperately to squeeze forward and had no time to care about Wang.

Zhao had just changed her clothes and came out of the house, and didn't care about Wang.

Just as Wang was about to fall to the ground, Zhao's daughter Daya quickly pulled her back from behind.

But he was only a seven-year-old child after all, with limited strength, and was almost pinned to the ground.

Chen Xiuhe was startled, but he quickly grabbed the two men and managed to escape danger.

Zhao was also very frightened and quickly ran over to check on her daughter to see if she had fallen anywhere.

Fortunately, Daya was fine, just her knee hit the ground and caused some skin abrasions.

Wang wasn't in much better condition either. She twisted her waist and grimaced in pain.

But this moment he was happy and didn't care whether his waist hurt or not, he hurried to meet him.

When the officer saw the Chen family's flustered and joyful appearance, his smile became even wider.

He shouted again, "Master Chen Mufeng of the Chen Mansion has won the first place in the imperial examination. This is a great joyous event. The Chen family has truly brought honor to their ancestors!"

Old Man Chen didn't care about Wang's condition at this time. He hurried forward, bowed deeply to the official, and said excitedly: "Thank you for coming to announce the good news. My Chen family can have what it has today, all thanks to your care. I am really grateful!"

Having said that, he hurriedly asked Wang to give the wedding money to the other party.

Wang came to her senses. Although her waist was still aching, fortunately the wedding money had been prepared when she changed her clothes.

He quickly took out a red cloth bag from his sleeve, which was bulging with copper coins.

She counted out 50 coppers and was about to hand them over.

This was seen by Old Man Chen who was standing nearby, and he secretly scolded the old woman for being stingy and not willing to give at this time.

He glared at Wang, then reached into the red cloth bag and grabbed a handful of money, which contained at least four or five hundred coins.

Wang was so heartbroken that her heart was bleeding, but she couldn't say anything and had to keep a smile on her face.

Liu Lang passed the imperial examination and will definitely have to hold a wedding banquet next. I don’t know how much it will cost. The more I think about it, the more distressed I feel.

Old Man Chen walked up to the officer, put on a smile, and handed over the copper coins in his hand.

"Officials, you are so troubled to come here today to bring such a great event to our Chen family. I hope you will accept this gift, just like buying tea for you. I will have to rely on you to take care of our Chen family in the future."

Naturally, these copper-coin runners would not take it seriously, but they also knew the situation of the Chen family. It was already very difficult for a country family to have enough food and drink and to support a juren.

Can't ask for too much.

Although it was only four or five hundred coins as wedding money, the official still took it with a smile.

After saying a few more polite words, he led the team away from Chen's house, and the sounds of gongs and drums gradually faded away.

But the Chen family's yard became more and more lively, surrounded by villagers, all of whom congratulated them with smiles on their faces.
