Chapter 255 Do you admit it?
Once signed, the matter of reconciliation is finalized.
The village chief asked people to go to Mrs. Wang's house to move Chen Wenjin's dowry back to Chen's house. When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face fell.
But she didn't dare to stop this, and had to cooperate with the village chief to move out the things according to Chen Wenjin's dowry list.
Chen Wenjin was an only daughter. Her parents thought that since their daughter was married in the village, they could go home to honor them on weekdays, so they waved their hands and took out all the money in the family to buy the dowry. At that time, I don’t know what happened.
How many people were jealous at this.
Wang Chunsheng was not interested in Chen Wenjin's dowry at first, but his father was deceived by Wang Yingying and lost his life, leaving the family without an earner.
Nowadays, the imperial court is trying to improve the saline-alkali land. His family has more than 20 acres of land, and it is definitely not possible to grow it on their own. Their ancestors were high-ranking officials, so how can they really make mud legs?
But if he didn't grow his own crops, he would have to hire tenants. The family still had to pay for daily expenses, and the money on hand was simply not enough, so he decided to use Chen Wenjin's dowry.
He didn't take much, so he took some scraps of silver while Chen Wenjin was asleep to use it for household expenses. The money from his mother was saved and would be taken out when necessary.
Wang Chunsheng had a good plan in mind. Chen Wenjin's money was all kept together. If he occasionally took a little bit, it would definitely not be easy to find.
But Chen Wenjin was not stupid. There was a small scale in her dowry. Every time she took money from it, she would weigh it again and write it down with a charcoal pen.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Chunsheng took it, she realized that something was wrong, but she didn't see it with her own eyes, so she didn't say anything, but pretended that she didn't know, until she saw Wang Chunsheng stealing her dowry money, and she happened to be accused by Mrs. Wang.
, she told her parents about this as soon as she got home.
Chen Wenjin was not someone to be trifled with. When she returned home, she took some of the dowry money with her and took it back to her parents' home.
Now she was counting the dowry. She was taking out her daily diary list and comparing it. Good guy, there was nearly four taels of silver missing.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wang, mother and son, and they looked at each other wrongly. They thought they were just stealing a little bit, but it turned out that these four taels of silver were enough for everyone's expenses for more than half a year. This was so shameless!
Mrs. Wang's face turned red when she saw her, not from shame but from anger.
Because she really didn't know how much money she took in total, she didn't even look at the pieces of money Wang Chunsheng gave her every time, she just collected them and put them into her own small box.
But she vaguely remembered that her son only handed it in four or five times, and each time it was small pieces of broken silver. How could there be only four taels of silver!
She had to make up for the four taels of silver she was missing. That would not be the same as killing her.
"Impossible, how could there be nearly four taels of silver? This list must have been tampered with!"
The redness and swelling on Mrs. Wang's face had dissipated a little, and she had spoken clearly. Now she stared at the list fiercely, wishing to tear it up.
The village chief had a sullen face and didn't even bother to pay attention to her. He looked directly at Wang Chunsheng and asked, "Do you recognize this number?"
After Wang Chunsheng came back from Chen's house, he felt very depressed. When the village chief asked him, he slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Chen Wenjin, who had an indifferent face. His mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Wang was deeply afraid that her son would be recognized, so she quickly held his hand and said, "Son, I can't admit it, I can't admit it!"
The village chief tapped his cane. Ever since his illness, his patience with the Wang family has been far less than before.
"A real man dares to take responsibility. If you take it, you will recognize it. If you don't recognize it, go to the Yamen. You have to figure it out."
Wang Chunsheng was in a state of confusion. Various emotions such as hesitation, entanglement, confusion, and regret were intertwined together. He felt that he was in great pain.
But his mother was still holding his hand and chattering non-stop, which made his hand hurt.
"Enough!"
Wang Chunsheng's ears were buzzing and he was extremely irritable. He raised his hand and threw away Mrs. Wang.
"I agree, I'll go get the money now."
After saying that, he ignored Mrs. Wang and strode in.
He knew very well where his mother's money was hidden. Not long after entering, he took out the small box.
Mrs. Wang saw that she was not well, so she rushed over and said, "Don't take it, don't take it!"
This is her money, and no one is allowed to take her money.
But Wang Chunsheng ducked out of the way, and Mrs. Wang threw herself on the ground. She was so beaten that she could eat her shit. Her whole body ached, and she no longer had the strength to get up.
She could only watch helplessly as her son opened her box, took some money from the money she had saved for many years, and put it on a small scale. The scale was enough to cover the money she owed Chen Wenjin.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that her eyes darkened and she fainted.
After counting the dowry, Wang Chunsheng held the box, helped his mother up, and entered the house with a decadent look on his face.
Chen Wenjin's mother was overjoyed. When her relatives helped move Chen Wenjin's dowry back to Chenjiagou, she waved and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"My sister Jin has left the wolf's den. It's worth celebrating. If all the relatives are free, come to my house for a banquet the day after tomorrow. The food won't be the best, but it will be enough."
Chen Wenjin's father stood behind his mother-in-law with a smile on his face.
He and his mother-in-law don't spend much money on weekdays. After his daughter got married, he went fishing at sea and saved a lot of money. Last year, he went to work in Gu Su's fields and saved a lot of money. This year, he worked hard and saved a lot of money.
Pen of silver.
It's still affordable to hold a banquet for my daughter to wash away the dust.
Everyone in the Chen family knew that Chen Wenjin’s mother was in charge of Chen Wenjin’s family. When they heard this, they quickly agreed with a smile.
After all, Chen Wenjin is the one who has been wronged in the matter of Chen Wenjin and Li. Moreover, Chen Wenjin is the junior in the clan. People in the Chen clan are all good-natured, so this will mainly feel bad for Chen Wenjin.
.
Not only did he agree to leave with a smile, he went home and prepared some things to send to the Chen family, saying it was to celebrate Chen Wenjin's escape from the sea of suffering.
Chen Wenjin was a little worried at first. Her separation would cause bad opinions among her family members, which would embarrass her parents. She was really unfilial.
But in the evening, when her parents called her to the living room to receive the clan members and collected endless gifts, her worried heart was completely relieved.
Her eyes were filled with mist, the ends of her eyes were red, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.
Listening to the words of comfort and reassurance from the tribesmen, looking at the things they sent, feeling their very sincere concern, my heart was sour and sweet at the same time.
She is so lucky to have such a good family and tribe.
Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she lay in bed for two days after falling ill. When she was just about to recover, she heard the crackling of firecrackers in the village, which gave her a headache.
"It's not a festival, so why not set off firecrackers? Someone in the family will die, right?"
She had a poisonous mouth, and Wang Chunsheng came in with the medicine. After hearing this, he paused in his steps and looked at his mother with no emotion in her eyes.
"Today, Wen Jin's family is hosting a banquet to invite everyone in the Chen family to celebrate her successful divorce and escape from the wolf den of our family."
After saying that, he ignored Mrs. Wang, put the medicine aside and left.
Mrs. Wang was always narrow-minded. When she heard this, she became even more angry. She raised her finger and pointed at the door for a long time, then she fainted again.
