Chapter 30 Don't Look For Me

  Chen's face was all red, and he continued: "It's time to pay it back, no, just wait until you sell the millet so that you can pay off the debt."

   "I'll ask my mother-in-law in a moment."

   Aunt Sun smiled, "Then I'll wait for your letter."

  Chen turned around and went to the upper room. When he entered the room, Zhou had just covered the camphor wood box.

   Seeing Mrs. Chen coming in, she quickly locked the box and turned to look at Mrs. Chen dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing here?"

  Chen shi lowered his head, "Mother knows, before Saburo went to the Fucheng for the exam, and borrowed ten taels of silver from Zhang Lizheng's house next door."

   "Auntie Sun, who was in the Zheng family just now, asked me when the money will be returned, saying that her family plans to marry a daughter-in-law and wait for the money to be used."

   Zhou Shi pulled his face down as soon as he heard it, "I have no money, don't look for me."

  Chen Shi was stunned, "Mother, how can you not have money, didn't you just sell the millet?"

   Mr. Zhou lowered his eyelids, "Haha, I had already said that, I'll keep the money for selling millet this year, and give it to me and your father for longevity."

   "What, you want to rob even this money?"

  Chen's face flushed, "Mother, it's not that I want to rob it. I borrowed money from others, and I have to pay it back."

   Mr. Zhou snorted, "I made the money?"

   "I asked you to borrow it?"

   "I didn't use your money, so I don't care about paying it back."

  Chen Shi was about to cry, "My mother said at the time that the family only had 10 taels of silver, and Saburo was not enough, so I went to Aunt Sun to borrow it. At that time, my father agreed, and you know it, mother."

   Mrs. Zhou lowered her eyes, "It's none of my business anyway." She waved her hand as if to chase away flies, "Let's go, don't get in the way here."

  Chen shi stood there for a while, his face turned red and white, and he left the room after a long while.

  Gu Yunjiao was sitting by the window, looking at the pulse case brought from her home, when she saw Mrs. Chen walking outside with tears in her eyes.

   She hurriedly put down her book and walked to the next room, where she saw Mrs. Chen sitting alone at the table and weeping.

  Gu Yunjiao walked over and said softly, "Mother, what's wrong?"

  Chen Shi was angry, anxious and aggrieved, and said the matter in one go, "My dowry is all done, how can I give it back to others now!"

   She wiped the corners of her eyes, "I can see it through, they are reluctant to spend money on Saburo, and they are waiting for Saburo to become an official in the future."

  Chen Shi fiercely "Bah", "How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world!"

   Gu Yunjiao thought about it, she had valuable musk deer antler ginseng or something in her medicine store, she could take out a little and exchange it for some money, but she shouldn't take this money, and she wouldn't take it either.

   She said softly, "Mother, why don't you go and talk to the old man, the old man is still sensible."

   is stronger than Zhou's anyway.

  Chen nodded, "I'm looking for the old man."

"This family is not divided, and the six buckets of rice that Saburo distributes every month are also handed over to the family, and the money owed should be paid by the public. "

  Chen patted Gu Yunjiao's hand, with relief in his eyes, "Sanlang went to study in the county, fortunately, I still have you at home, and I also have someone to discuss when I am in trouble."

  Chen came out of the room and walked around, but he didn't see Mr. Jiang, so he had to keep the matter in his heart.

   When it was time for dinner, Mr. Jiang came back.

After taking a few bites, Mrs. Chen couldn't hold back anymore and said loudly, "Father, today Aunt Sun urged our family to return the money, which is the 10 taels of silver that Saburo borrowed from Fucheng to take the exam. You said at the time that you couldn't look down on it. Lizheng, let me go to Aunt Sun and tell me that I am a woman so I can talk."

  The house was quiet.
