But she was thinking in her heart, huh... This person who went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing and suddenly came to the door must have done nothing good.

Seeing the eldest aunt's face like this, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but feel angry.

There are many snobbish people in the world, but this is the elder, the eldest wife in the Chen family, the eldest sister-in-law.

Thinking of Fan Mingzhong who made a big fuss in the mourning hall three months ago and came to demand debts, he casually said that it was your eldest aunt who encouraged him to come in.

Now it seems that this possibility really exists.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua's expression changed and his fists couldn't help but clenched.

"Sister-in-law, you are doing well lately!"

Suddenly, my mother's voice sounded behind me.

Xue Wanzhen has been standing in the middle of the patio. Seeing her sister-in-law's attitude of refusing to let others live thousands of miles away, she is afraid that her son Tugen will feel sad and may cause unpleasantness and embarrass everyone.

So she quickly said hello.

"Hey...it turns out that his aunt is here. Why are you here too? I didn't see you. Then...then come in and sit down for a while."

When the old woman heard the sudden shouting in the middle of the patio, she was startled for a moment, then raised her head and looked around, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Youjuan helped her mother into the living room, sat down on a mahogany Eight Immortals chair, and stood beside her.

Chen Tianhua blushed and stood still outside the front hall door, motionless.

"Hey, auntie, I haven't seen you here for two or three years. Why are you free today? Oh, what happened to Lao Qi a few months ago. My waist suddenly flashed, and I couldn't move while lying on the bed.

The master also ran out of town at that time and couldn't notify him, so... Hehe, I didn't go to help... Did you encounter any difficulties again today? "

The old woman glanced at Xue Wanzhen while pretending to explain. Perhaps she had forgotten or was nervous, but she didn't even arrange for a servant to make a bowl of tea.

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's been a few months since Lao Qi's incident, so let's not mention him. Anyway, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law's help from time to time over the years, I finally got through this day. A few days ago, Tugen and the others went

I tinkered with aquatic products and sold some money back, hehe... today, we are here to pay back the money!"

Xue Wanzhen's heart was as clear as a mirror, but she did not complain at all and still explained her purpose sincerely.

"Tu Gen... come in quickly, this child is so ignorant?"

"Um…"

Seeing his mother yelling angrily, Chen Tianhua had no choice but to cross the threshold, go in and stand in the middle of the front hall.

Without saying a word, he immediately took out a roll wrapped in red paper from the bag, tore it open and took out ten, and the other ninety were placed on the tea table next to him.

"Auntie, my family has borrowed a total of eighty yuan from your family over the years. Here is ninety yuan. Please see if I have borrowed that much."

"This...this..."

The old woman was so shocked by this sudden appearance that she was a little confused and had not yet reacted.

He looked at Xue Wanzhen's family of three incoherently.

Come...to pay back the money?

This seems like a dream.

In her impression, Chen Laoqi and his family were almost in ruins after the seven people died. She had borrowed money for relief in the past, but even if it was in vain, she never expected to pay back the money one day.

"Hey, I don't know much about this matter. Shao Jun and the others are in charge of it. I think we can wait until your eldest brother comes back to discuss this matter," the old woman said.

She only knew that Chen Laoqi had borrowed a lot of money from her family in the past few years, but never paid it back. She couldn't read the exact amount, and it was all under the control of the boss and the two others.

From behind the screen, one or two young women's heads poked out from time to time, chattering away.

"Who is coming!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the patio, carrying a low and hoarse question, and they were approaching the door.

"master…"

"Oh... Big brother is back!"

"Uncle."

The visitor was in his mid-fifties, but he was in high spirits, with a rosy face, and was wearing a long gown and mandarin jacket.

At first glance, he looks quite similar to his father, Chen Shaoan.

The visitor is none other than the male protagonist of this house, Chen Shaoan's eldest brother Chen Fa'an.

"Oh, it's Awan and your family here. It's a rare place. Please take a seat!"

Chen Fa'an lifted up his shirt and took his seat at the table.

The servant hurriedly brought a purple teapot, which was probably his special tea cup.

He was about to pick up the teapot and suck it with his mouth, when he saw that the coffee table in front of his sister-in-law Xue Wanzhen was empty, with neither snacks nor half a bowl of tea.

"Where are the tea and snacks for these guests? Why didn't you... forget them? Go and get them quickly. You are just playing the piano randomly!"

Chen Fa'an suddenly frowned and scolded the servant loudly.

After all, you still need to have dignity when dealing with others.

"Sir, they just arrived. They were just talking and forgot about it. They didn't care about Wang Ma and the others."

The old woman folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen and helped the servant to stop the scolding with a little embarrassment.

"It's understandable that you are patronizing and talking. What do they, the servants, do for food? It's the rule to serve tea when guests come. Don't you even understand these rules?"

Chen Fa'an did not give up. He hit the purple teapot on the coffee table and scolded him sternly.

"Master, we were wrong." Several servants were so frightened that they admitted their mistake again and again.

Chen Fa'an frowned and suppressed his anger. He was too lazy to pay attention to the snobbish mother-in-law. He turned around and continued to chat with his sister-in-law Xue Wanzhen:

"Awan, why did you just come here today? I have wanted to go over and see you several times. Hey... During the time I came back, it was either the ghost things in the township office or the gathering of some old friends in Shuangqi Township. I haven't seen you for a while.

Take out the light..."

As the eldest brother in the Chen family, he honestly cares about his brothers and sisters. When it comes to the youngest brother, Lao Qi, Chen Shaoan, he has also spent a lot of thought on it.

His parents died early, and his eldest brother is his father. He brought the seventh child out to do business. However, when he was young, the seventh child was not sensible and was dragged into gambling. As a result, the more he gambled, the more he became addicted to gambling, and the more he gambled, the more he lost.

For this reason, Chen Fa'an secretly helped him pay off a lot of gambling debts.

Later, he tried to get Chen Shaoan to run water transport to stay away from those gambling friends.

Chen Laoqi later learned something, and Chen Fa'an paid for him to marry a relative, and he gradually became independent.

Chen Laoqi came to borrow these eighty silver coins after he got married. Chen Fa'an asked him to borrow money from his sister-in-law so that he could get out of trouble.

When something happened to Chen Lao Qi this time, he originally wanted to step in, but his eldest wife and two sons disagreed. He heard that Lao Qi had a lot of debts.

In recent years, Chen Fa'an has left the land rental and shop business to his two sons. He still has a small family to support in Shaoxing, so money is naturally tight, so he has no choice but to pretend to be deaf and mute and rely on him ruthlessly.

I didn't come back from Shaoxing city.

The Chen family and brothers don’t care. Who among the brothers and sisters below is willing to come forward to fill this bottomless pit?

This is the reason why none of the Chen family came forward on the day of the mourning hall.
