Afterwards, Chen Fa'an still felt very guilty. After all, it was his own brother who was in trouble. This was a bit unethical and unkind.

He wanted to visit his siblings and their family several times, but he seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't move his legs. He couldn't make up his mind.

Of course, Chen Tianhua didn't know the causes and consequences, and he didn't want to figure them out.

In a big event like death, immediate family members should be present at all, especially as the eldest brother in the family.

Therefore, in Chen Tianhua's heart, from the day his father Chen Shao'an set up the mourning hall, he had long believed that the Chen family members headed by Chen Fa'an were all ruthless and unjust people.

He will never forgive much in this life.

"Uncle, today we are here to repay a debt, which is the money my father borrowed from you a few years ago."

After hearing Chen Fa'an's false greeting, Chen Tianhua became very angry and deliberately pronounced the word "pay off debt" very strongly.

Due to the superiority of his elders, of course he couldn't be too aggressive, but he didn't want to waste time anymore.

Therefore, he went straight to the point without waiting for his mother to answer.

"Pay back the money?"

Chen Fa'an was shocked after hearing this. He glanced at the silver wrapped in red paper on the coffee table and guessed that it had just been taken out from the bank.

Oh, it turns out that the whole family came to pay off a debt.

Like a slap in the face, Chen Fa'an's face changed and he was very embarrassed. He smiled stiffly and said:

"Ouch... Awan, what are you doing? Who knows what kind of difficulties your family is in? It's almost the end of the New Year, and I'm still thinking about sending some money there in a few days, but... but this... oh, what's the money?

Now, you take it back first and pay off the debt you owe outside. If it's not enough, you can tell me about it."

When it comes to the next few sentences, they come completely from his heart and are sincere.

"No, big brother..."

Seeing the embarrassment of her husband's elder brother Chen Fa'an, Xue Wanzhen was about to explain, but was interrupted by Chen Tianhua who could no longer bear it.

"Uncle like this, debts are repaid, and debts from the father to the son are repaid. This is a matter of course. Uncle, don't worry too much. Tugen just wants to ask auntie to check the account book. Is it eighty oceans?"

Chen Tianhua was furious, but he continued to sing his big show without mercy.

"Tu Gen, what are you doing?" Xue Wanzhen spoke for the second time, but was either blocked or interrupted, and she scolded her sternly.

When Chen Tianhua saw his mother getting angry, he had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent.

"Yes, the Tugen family has a total loan of eighty yuan, dad..."

At this time, someone happened to fan the flames again, igniting the flames that had just been suppressed.

A young woman in her twenties or threes with a child in her arms suddenly emerged from behind the screen and spoke.

She is probably the wife of Chen Fa'an's youngest son, Shaoxiang.

"Go away...get away from me, who asked you to interrupt here? You are just playing the piano randomly!"

Chen F'an immediately became furious. He slapped the coffee table and scolded him with an angry frown, almost wanting to throw the purple teapot over.

The younger daughter-in-law was so frightened that she shrank back into the back room, complaining all the way about her husband's sister-in-law, Shao Jun's wife.

It turns out that this drama was instigated by the eldest daughter-in-law, Shao Jun's wife.

Chen Fa'an looked ashamed and his face turned red and white. This was because there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

The servant Wang Ma just brought the tea, which relieved the tense and awkward atmosphere.

"Come here, his aunt invites you to drink tea. I was the one who neglected you just now. Hehe, please don't mind."

The old woman saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, and felt that her previous attitude was inappropriate, so she quickly apologized with a smile.

"Brother, this money is all saved by the children's hard work. It's very clean. Please take it, brother. This way I...I feel much more at ease. This debt is like a stone, which has been weighing on my heart for many years.

"

Xue Wanzhen also knew that her son Tugen was indignant, and his words were full of disrespect and offense, and she was afraid that Chen Fa'an would lose face, so she spoke quickly.

But as I spoke, I was so sad that I shed tears.

"Okay...brothers and sisters, I will collect the money first, but I must not ask for the interest, otherwise I won't even collect the principal."

At this point, Chen Fa'an has no solution, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the principal.

He had a livid face and looked very ugly.

I was very embarrassed today when I was snatched away by my nephew in public. I also made my money-grubbing daughter-in-law make trouble. This was a huge loss of face.

Let the younger generation look down upon him, Chen Fa'an wishes he could go underground and hide.

"Don't be stubborn, Tu Gen. Listen to your uncle and let's just pay back the capital." Xue Wanzhen was still conscious. She wiped away her tears and quickly woke her son up.

"This... then just listen to uncle!"

Chen Tianhua only hesitated for a moment, but he still listened to his mother's reminder. He felt that if he continued to dismiss his uncle's face at this time, he would make things worse.

This not only went against his original intention of helping his mother pay off her debt, but also increased her psychological burden.

Now that you are here to repay your debt, you should happily let go and get rid of your inner demons, not for the sake of pleasure, love and hatred, or temporary pleasure.

As the old saying goes: be merciful and merciful.

After all, they are their elders, and no matter how stubborn they are, they cannot break away from their blood relationship.

After saying that, Chen Tianhua took a step forward, took out ten silver coins from a stack of silver coins on the coffee table, and put them into the cloth bag he had brought with him.

"Okay... That's right, good boy, haha... Well, Tugen, uncle heard from people outside that you are doing some aquatic products, how are you doing?"

Seeing that Tugen obediently took back the interest, and that the greeting was equivalent to giving face to the elders, Chen Fa'an's livid face softened.

He couldn't help but praise his nephew, and then changed the subject and became concerned about Chen Tianhua's livelihood.

"Well...it's okay." Chen Tianhua didn't calm down, his temper hadn't been raised yet, his expression was uncomfortable, he rubbed his hands and answered perfunctorily.

"Are you having any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, just come to your uncle. Regardless of funds or connections, I still have some ideas in Shuangqi Township. I feel guilty for not taking care of you in the past few years!"

Chen Fa'an's words came completely from his heart, and there was an element of uneasy conscience in them.

And for him, an elder, to say that he feels guilty is equivalent to giving company to the younger generation. In the countryside where Confucianism and Taoism are prevalent in the late Qing Dynasty, courage is still needed.

"Uncle, you are too worried. You have lent a lot of money to our family over the years. This is the greatest care. I will never forget it, little nephew."

Chen Tianhua stood up and bowed to Chen Fa'an at a 90-degree angle.

According to family etiquette and rules, when Chen Tianhua saw Chen Fa'an, he should have knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, as a son-nephew.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't want to. In a sense, he came here just to pay back the money, not to acknowledge his family.
