Shen Lao Er's husband sneered. "I said Sister Li, Shen Yan is going to sue Shen Youcai. What does it have to do with our family!"
"Just listen to me!" Aunt Li talked to the curious wife and Shuānger excitedly, "Do you know the three good paddy fields in the west of Shen Youcai's house and the two acres of dry land in the village?"
"Auntie Li, just tell the story!" The wife in a flower dress scolded with a smile.
Aunt Li straightened her waist proudly, said meaningfully, "It belongs to Shen Yan's house. It was rented by Shen Youcai from Shen Yan's parents three years ago!"
"Rent from Shen Yan's house? How could it be possible! The eldest wife of Shen Youcai said yesterday that her father-in-law spent fifty taels of silver to buy it!" The wife in a flower dress was full of disbelief.
"That's the problem. Shen Yan is going to sue Shen Youcai for occupying his land!" Aunt Li looked at the wife in a floral skirt with a secret gaze. "You have only been married for less than a year. You don't know how rich Shen Yan's family was. It's just paddy fields. There are more than 20 acres. Most of the land of Zhao Dahu's family is bought from Shen Yan..."
The wife in the flower dress opened her eyes wide in shock. But the blue-clothed Shuānger were disapproving. "They used to be rich and wealthy, weren't they already down now."
"Shen Yan really wants to sue Shen Youcai. What will happen to Shen Youcai?" Someone asked.
"The light punishment is 20 hits by the whip and the heavy is to get jailed," Aunt Li said loudly. After she said that, she looked at the second house of Shen's Family. "Didn't your family also rent the land from Shen Yan's house? Has the rent been paid?"
The heart of Shen Lao Er's husband jumped. He said loudly, "Of course we did! How could we not! We give it on time every year!"
"Really?" Aunt Li questioned.
"I won't tell you! I have to go home to cook!" After leaving a word, Shen Lao Er's husband picked up the clothes that had not been washed and hurriedly left. Because he was walking in a hurry, he didn't notice someone in front and ran into a little wife.
"Oh, who doesn't have eyes!"
Shen Lao Er's husband gave the little wife a fierce look. "What a good thing your family has done! What a shame!" This little wife didn't seem like she had just arrived, so she guessed she heard everything Aunt Li said.
"You are shameless!" The little wife's face turned red, white, and red. Finally, she gritted her teeth and kicked the ground, then rushed towards the house.
In an ownerless bamboo forest near the village, Gu Changfeng put down the hoe in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Husband, aren't we going to Shen Youcai's family to collect debts?" Why did you come here to dig bamboo shoots?
"Just let someone else take the initiative to send it to the door to save trouble."
He originally planned to go directly to Shen Youcai. Who knew that met Aunt Li on the road, so he made the matter serious. With Aunt Li's character that she couldn't sleep without gossiping, she would definitely publicize that he wanted to sue Shen Youcai.
This incident was originally Shen Youcai's fault. Also, Shen Yan was a talented person. If he really made the matter bigger, Shen Youcai would not be able to eat it.
"They will be delivered to the door automatically?" Gu Changfeng was puzzled. If they would take the initiative to deliver it to the door, it would have been delivered long ago. So why did I wait now?
"Yes." Shen Yanbei threw the dug-out bamboo shoots into the basket. Looking at Gu Changfeng, who had doubts, smiled to explain to him.
The eldest wife of Shen Youcai's Family who had just married was the daughter of the old scholar Guo Xiucai. If Guo Xiucai knew that his in-laws did such dirty work, he would definitely explode.
The fact was that Guo Xiucai had not yet exploded but his daughter did.
"Well, you Shen Chengwu! Your family dares to lie to us!" Guō shì was shaking with anger. Had it not been for the fact that their family had land and their youngest son, Shen Chengwen, was expected to be admitted as a scholar, she would not want to marry here. Who knew that half of this field was rented from someone else's house. The most disgusting thing was that they dominated other's lands and said that those belonged to them. If they were sued by the county magistrate, her father would definitely be mad!
"This...I don't know anything about this..." Shen Chengwu hesitated.
"Do you have those pieces of land in your family? You treat people as fools, right? I tell you Shen Chengwu, if Shen Yan really sues us to the county magistrate, don't even think about taking the exam!" Guō shì packed her things. She would go back to her parents' house.
"Hey, Rong'er, don't go!" Shen Chengwu stopped Guō shì. But Guo was already angry and stepped on his foot violently. Then left angrily.
"If this matter is not handled properly, don't find me!"
"Rong'er!" Shen Chengwu watched Guō shì leave without looking back. His face darkened. "What a woman who dislikes the poor and loves the rich! She is also the daughter of a scholar, why she values money so much..."
"Where's Guō shì? Let her eat eggs." Shen Youcai's wife Wang shì put a bowl of brown sugar and eggs on the table. Watching her son stand there with his head lowered, she couldn't help saying, "Chengwu, can you talk to your wife? Say, this egg has to be eaten every day? She doesn't have to go to the land or study but all the eggs in the family are almost eaten by her! Chengwen was studying so hard. Mother wants to keep this egg to strengthen his body..." The daughter of this master xiùcái's family was delicate! Her Chengwen only ate one egg a day, but this Guo shì actually had to eat two a day. She was a really big face*!
*It is inversely proportional to shyness.
"Chengwen is so fat like that. What kind of body can he make up?"
Shen Chengwu's face was even more ugly. Since childhood, his mother had been partial to Shen Chengwen. All the delicious food was reserved for Shen Chengwen. It was obvious that he had been working hard to earn money to support his family. Why could Shen Chengwen sit and wait for food without doing anything!
"He needs nutrients to study well and the exam is coming soon. How about he couldn't replenish the brain and body!" Wang shì looked at Shen Chengwu and exhorted, "Let wife talk to his father to give instructions to Chengwen. It is good and harmless for Guo's Family..."
Shen Chengwu sneered. "What else to give? Guo Xiucai is fine if he doesn't turn his face! She knew about our family renting the land from Shen Yan's home to plant the land and pretend to be our own. She went back to her family's home. Now Shen Yan is going to the county to sue our family for occupying his land!"
Wang shì was shocked. "This... how can it be?"
When the matchmaker was talking about the marriage, the Guo's Family disliked a poor family whose land was not a few acres. They happened to be planting the land rented from the Shen Yan's Family, so they talked to the matchmaker. They lied, saying that those acres of land belonged to their family...
"If Shen Yan really goes, there will be no need to go to the written examination!"
If this matter was announced. During the examination, the examiner would definitely have opinions on Shen Chengwen. It also would not be impossible to be questioned for misconduct.
"Hurry up and stop him!" Wang shì suddenly panicked and shouted, "Hurry up and find your father!"
His mother didn't care that his wife ran away, she only cared about Shen Chengwen! Shen Chengwu felt resentful. Only that right now if this matter was not handled well, the whole village would blame them. So he had to go out unwillingly to find Shen Youcai.
