This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Chen Lenghe's head. She has always believed that the initiative of this marriage is her. If she wants to succeed, she will succeed, and if she wants to be bad, it is the other party who insists on getting her hands and getting it faster. However, Zhao Guanhou's words at this time were like a sword, shattering her thoughts.

"You are very beautiful. You study abroad, all these advantages, I admit it. But look at what the situation is now. Songjiang's economic depression is in a great depression. I can just take a hundred taels of silver to let a girl who has returned from studying abroad like you. If I say I want to marry a young man, the people in line can line up from here to the Chinese world. And what is the price of my bail Lingzun? I have to take on the debts of the entire Zhengyuan. Do you know, how much is it? And if you use the money to find a woman, you know how much can you find.

What does it look like? If others don’t say it, they will say that Diane, who is not inferior to you. Now I go to her room and ask her to take off, she will take off. If she lets her do whatever she wants, she will do. Even if it’s you, if I have to get you, what will you do? So, why do you think I have to promise your conditions? Now, go back to the guest room and have a sleep. Tomorrow, I will arrange someone to send you home. If you stay here for a long time, don’t blame me for being rude to you. Then you will all enter my room and have no place to reason."

Silence, deathly silence. After a long time, as if a volcano erupted, Chen Lenghe suddenly grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it hard at Zhao Guanhou, "You bastard! You are the number one bastard!" Then, like a crazy lioness, she threw all the things around her at Zhao Guanhou. When she found that she could no longer find anything to throw, she punched her hatred on the bed, and then lay on the bed and started crying.

"Bastard...you're a bastard...do you know how much courage it took to get myself out of this step? What am I in your eyes? Ji Nu? I just want to save my dad, my mom, and my brother. I don't want them to live a hard life for me. They could have lived a better life, but they were all me. I messed up all this. Now I want to make up for it. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Tears were like a flood opening, and the crying was getting higher and higher. Zhao Guanhou put the things on the ground back on its original position and listened to her cry silently. "I met three jobs yesterday, one of which was to work as a coolie, and the other two bosses... I just wanted to take advantage of me. Songjiang's economy went bankrupt, and it was difficult for women to find a job. I want to rely on my own strength to let my mother live a good life and revitalize the family business... You men are happy! I finally have to bow my head, and I have to rely on men to survive..."

"You think I am used to living in a mouse room? I can't eat those foods! But I can't tell you, because it's all caused by me. I want to change all this. I want everyone to live better. Is this wrong?... My elder brother was kidnapped and you killed all those people. But what about other depositors? Brother, will others? If I come again, what can I do? I can only find a backer to keep them, but... but I don't want to lose my position because of this. Just let me keep a little dignity, isn't that okay?"

Chen Lenghe's grievances for many days and indulgence was completely vented at this time. After crying for a while, she found that she was being picked up, but she saw that Zhao Guanhou was holding her in his arms. She pushed him hatefully, "Don't touch me! I have changed my mind! I can find other solutions, but I don't believe it. No one can save my father except you."

"I'm sorry, I've changed my mind and won't let you leave my home." Zhao Guanhou looked up at Chen Lenghe with great oppression, "You reminded me that your betrothal gift has not been refunded, so you are still my concubine. As my concubine, I will not let you go out and run around casually, nor will I allow you to find any way to embarrass me."

Chen Lenghe subconsciously curled up her legs and made a defensive gesture to prevent the man from rushing to herself next, but Zhao Guanhou just wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. "You are crying and making a fuss, it's really hard to say. It's too late, and the other rooms are in trouble and can't sleep well. Aren't you asking for a scolding? You go to sleep first, I'll make a few calls."

"Call? So late, do you still have to call?"

"Yes, the trial office is there. There are people there for 24 hours. I will say hello to them and change a better room for Mr. Chen. I will go and go through bail with them tomorrow morning. Also, I will return the price of the villa at the bank and the villa. Your family will go back to the villa to live. In addition, I will notify the arresting house and will place the police outside your house, so that those depositors will not harass you."

Seeing him say these words, he turned around and left. Chen Lenghe suddenly called him, "Wait... Wait a minute, I want to say... Thank you."

"You're welcome. Since you are my concubine, I'll help you. As for Anne, I'll send her out of the house. By the way, if I don't come back to sleep, you can lock the door."

After locking Si Biling's door lock, Chen Lenghe breathed a sigh of loss in his heart. What is his attitude towards him? Is he really willing to be a partner or play hard to get? Moreover, he made it clear that before becoming a couple, one of his biggest secrets is that he will not share with him. This secret is obviously related to the money house. If he can't figure it out, even if Zhengyuan resumes business in the future, he will not be able to operate with confidence.

At noon the next day, Zhao Guanhou called Chen Lenghe to get on the carriage, and first arrived at the Shikumen where the Chen family rented. Through the curtain, you could see some coolies carrying furniture from the upper floor, while Lu was dressed up and showing off to the landlord and several women on the roadside.

"My third sister is Zhao Dashuai's new favorite. The couple used to play with flower guns, but she tried to make us live here, so she would show us. Now that the two have made up again, we naturally have to live back to the mansion. Xiaonan's temper is like this."

The two brothers of the Chen family looked bad, and Zhao Guanhou said, "Do you want to go down and say hello to Brother Ling?"

"First...no need to avoid quarreling again." Chen Lenghe's breathing was a little rapid, and she looked around, "Where is Dad?"

"Old man... is in the hospital. If it weren't for my phone call yesterday, you might not be able to see him. Last night, he got the cigarette bubble from somewhere and committed suicide by taking poison. Fortunately, I called the phone and the guard found it and sent it to the hospital. The person had just escaped from danger."

"Then you won't take me there!" Chen Lenghe called out subconsciously, but then she realized that she had no position to lose her temper at the other party. Fortunately, Zhao Guanhou was not angry, but ordered the coachman to rush the car to the hospital in the public concession.

"Dad, I'm sorry..." Looking at the weak and powerless father on the hospital bed, Chen Lenghe's tears burst out again. His father's hair had turned white, his eyes were dull and without any spirit, and all his vitality seemed to have been ruthlessly seized. Lying there was just a difficult breath.

Looking at his daughter, Chen Yunqing had a smile on his face. He grabbed his daughter's hand and said hard: "Xiaonan... don't cry, dad... don't blame you. As long as you are happy... you can marry anyone. You must... be happy."

Although he was in a dangerous period, Chen Yunqing's physical condition was not optimistic. According to the doctor's observation, he was like a severely damaged and dangerous house, and he was at risk of collapse at any time. As a family member, what he could do was to keep his mood as happy as possible and not put too much pressure on him so that he could recover with peace of mind.

The foreign doctor looked at Chen Lenghe, "I have to say that your father is very lucky. There are many people like him in Songjiang now. Most of them are wealthy businessmen and successful people. Now they are penniless and choose to commit suicide. The only difference is that they are not as good as your husband, and they will not pay high prices every day to let us rescue them. Your father has a good daughter, so he really shouldn't consider suicide."

After leaving the ward, Chen Lenghe stopped and asked Zhao Guanhou: "Is Dad's lawsuit... very serious?"

"Not necessarily, it mainly depends on whether the court pursues it. It is said that the government will select a ministry member to come down to check Shi Dianzhang. When checking Shi, it is necessary to find Ling Zun. This is reasonable."

"Then... can you excuse your father? If he goes to court, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out of here."

"I will do my best. When I speak, I will give me a place to speak. I can't rush in and not let them check people. That's unreasonable. Fortunately, it's a concession here. As long as the court can't handle the official business, it's very difficult to take people away. It's not bad for the old man to lie down in the hospital first. As for the old lady, when she hears that the villa comes back, I think she'll be half well."

Sure enough, when Mrs. Chen heard that the villa was returned, she felt very good. She could sit up and walk a few times when she went downstairs. But she looked at her daughter and suddenly asked: "Why did this villa come back suddenly? Is it Zhao Dashuai... Xiaonan, don't be afraid, if you are bullied, you have to tell your mother that she has fought for her life and will seek justice for you..."

"Mom, where are you thinking about it?" Chen Lenghe smiled and snuggled in her mother's arms. "Your daughter will not do anything that embarrasses you. Dashuai Zhao is a good person and has not done anything to me. I figured it out myself. My brain was trampled on by the dead ends before, but now I have figured it out. As long as he loves me and is big or small, it doesn't matter. That day, when he saved his elder brother, he negotiated and pulled out his gun, and looked very handsome. I...I fell in love with him. Mrs. Su was also very nice to me and kept treating me as a sister. She didn't bully me. It's nothing wrong with being a young man."

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter, full of suspicion, "Xiaonan, are you lying to me?"

"No, why would I lie to you? You can take good care of your illness and go home after being discharged from the hospital. The old servants at home have been invited back to work. It won't take long before Zhengyuan will start to open. Those lost industries will come back, and our family will be the same as before."

"I have already seen money, money, external things, as long as it is enough for life. It's just your father... If it's convenient for you, can you let Guan Hou come to see me?"

"Okay, he is at the door. Without me, he wouldn't dare to come in." Chen Lenghe smiled and pulled Zhao Guanhou in. Zhao Guanhou acted like a son-in-law and was very respectful to his mother-in-law. Mrs. Chen asked a few questions, but she couldn't see any flaws, but her spirit was no longer good, so she had to let the two of them leave first.

When he arrived at the corridor, the smile on Chen Lenghe's face had completely disappeared, and she just lowered her head and said, "Thank you for helping me perform this drama."

"There is nothing to thank. You are my side room. It is also my duty to please your parents. Now, wherever you want to go, I will let the carriage take you."

"You... accompany me to the City God Temple. I used to like to go to the City God Temple when I came back. This time I returned to China, I have never been there yet."

The Chenghuang Temple in the north of Songjiang City does not exist as a temple, but has become a very famous scenic spot in Songjiang and a lively small market. The mountain gate is lined with shops of various colors, the second gate is a stage, and under the stage is a snack stall for various snacks. The west corridor is a lettering shop, and the east corridor is a tea shop for tea parties in the yamen.

In the past, there were many vendors and tourists, but now in the City God Temple, there are more than one ten normal shops. This place has become a so-called human market, where parents sell their children, husbands sell their wives, and some women sell their own clothes with grass labels on their heads.

The elderly and children stretched out their thin and thin hands and begged to the pedestrians, hoping to get some money. Some people with obvious faces should have been decent people from Songjiang in the past, but now they can only pray for a way out in the city.

Chen Lenghe's eyes turned red and she whispered to Zhao Guanhou: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"If you weren't magnanimous, I might have to be here now, waiting for others to buy... Why don't the yamen do something and let the situation continue to be corrupt?"

"There is no way. The court is three feet above the ground and cannot see the suffering of others. In the eyes of the court officials, Songjiang is just a point on the map, and the people are just a number. They are doing a game of adding and subtracting numbers, believing that the responsibility for the collapse of the stock market is all on themselves, and the court has nothing to do with it. If they hadn't thought so, how could Zhang Xiangshuai be angry to death?"

Chen Lenghe suddenly saw a girl and rushed over a few steps, "Why is it you? Xiaoxiao? Are you not Xiaoxiao from Du Shibo's family? You... why did you fall here?"
