Wu Xuanjiao not only scolded, but also glared at Chen Tianhua again in disgust.

At this moment, he stood sluggishly on the side of the road, empty-handed and at a loss, like a bumbling Shanghainese gangster.

"Follow me, let's go into the house first and then talk about it."

She put down these words as if summoning a servant, turned around and tiptoed into the front hall of the main hall, walked straight to the mahogany Taishi chair at the top and sat down.

A maid quickly brought her a tea bowl with fragrant tea.

Chen Tianhua had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the woman to the main living room.

The large living room is magnificent, the furniture and furnishings are all made of mahogany or sandalwood, and there is a blue and white porcelain vase as tall as a person.

In the hall, there is a mahogany Eight Immortals table carved with dragons and phoenixes, and on both sides are Taishi chairs with high backrests also carved with birds and animals.

On both sides of the middle passage, there are five mahogany Eight Immortals chairs carved with flower and tree fairies, which are luxurious and luxurious.

This was the first time that Chen Tianhua walked into the home of a wealthy country gentleman in the late Qing Dynasty. He felt a bit solemn and uncomfortable.

He was standing in front of Wu Xuanjiao, a little dumbly, in the passage surrounded by mahogany chairs.

"Tell me, why did you come to our house?" He said in a cold tone, just like he would treat an ordinary outsider who comes to beg for money.

Wu Xuanjiao obviously thought of him as Mr. Chen from Dongpu Township.

This is something that is ridiculous.

At this time, Chen Tianhua was full of dissatisfaction and grievance, and he had lost the mood to be polite when he first arrived.

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Wu Xuanjiao and replied indifferently:

"Mrs. Fan, I came here specially to pay back the debts owed by the previous generation."

The word "repay debts" has rich connotations in Shaoxing. It can be understood as repaying debts, love debts, or as a special kind of innuendo.

Starting from Mrs. Fan, the Fan family has always been a sideline businessman who made a fortune. It is said that Mrs. Fan's family was very poor when he was a young man. His parents fell ill and died early, and he suffered from hunger and cold.

During the twelfth lunar month of a certain year, Mr. Fan, a young man, was cold and hungry. He fainted at the door of Chenjiatai and almost died.

Seeing how pitiful he was, the old man of the Chen family took him into his home and gave him cotton-padded clothes and steamed buns.

Later, Mrs. Fan gained influence in the world, and was extremely respectful and polite to Mrs. Chen from Dongpu Township. The two families often visited each other, and later the term "baby kiss" came to be known.

The Chen family is a squire and landowner who sticks to the rules. After the death of Mrs. Chen, the family gradually declined, but the Fan family seems to have exploded quickly due to Fan Chenggui's crooked ways.

In this way, the gap between the two families is too big. How can Fan Chenggui and his wife admit this marriage?

A few years ago, when the old man was here, Fan Chenggui and his wife couldn't explain it clearly, and they were prevaricating. Now that the old man has passed away, who in the Fan family will mention this matter again?

But now the young man of the Chen family came to visit unexpectedly. He was dressed up all day long on Friday and Saturday, and had a golden watch chain in his pocket. This was obviously showing off, and he was bringing up that old issue?

The words about repaying the debt just now were obviously a metaphor for the Fan family's ingratitude.

"Pay the debt? Who owes whom?"

Wu Xuanjiao was shocked after hearing this, her mouth slightly opened with a complicated expression, which contained the profound meaning of refusing to keep accounts.

She moved her lips slightly and murmured to herself, "I thought they were telling us to go to the funeral!"

Earlier I heard that Mr. Dongpu Chen was seriously ill, but his words were actually a curse and he had a very vicious heart.

This sentence sounded like a gnat, and she didn't even understand how she said it, but Chen Tianhua, who was standing three meters away, heard it and was filled with anger.

He knew in his heart that the person this cunning woman was cursing should be Dongpu Chen's family, but he was standing in front of him alive, and he was hurt when he blocked someone else's cold arrows.

Chen Tianhua clenched his fists angrily, wanting to step forward and punch this stinky bitch.

If he hadn't thought about the future development of Xibutou Village, Shuangqi Township, and even Shanyin County, Chen Tianhua would have wanted to cause a scene here.

From entering the house to standing here, what he heard and endured was all insults, contempt and curses towards him.

His heart was like a hundred thousand grass and mud horses galloping, and his whole body was in a state of rage.

"Why, are you okay?"

Facing Chen Tianhua who was lost in thought, Wu Xuanjiao raised her head and hummed.

Her voice sounded very calm, and there didn't seem to be any arrogance in it, but her tone was so cold that it could push people to the ground, almost kicking them to the 18th level of hell.

Her meaning is very clear. You must have self-awareness as a person. How can a country bumpkin from a poor family be worthy of the beauty of my family?

It is unbearable!

As a bystander, he had to complain for the eldest son of the Chen family when he suffered such inexplicable insults.

He was not ready to remain silent anymore, so he took out a cloth bag containing money from his arms, and with a "bang..." sound, he threw the cloth bag on the bright Eight Immortals table and said coldly:

"Mrs. Fan, I am not Mr. Chen from Dongpu. My name is Chen Tianhua. I came here to pay off my father's debt. Here is fifty oceans with interest. Please return my father's IOU to me."

Chen Tianhua's movements and words were like a rolling bomb, knocking Wu Xuanjiao unconscious.

"IOU..." Wu Xuanjiao subconsciously answered first, "If you pay the debt, pay it back..." But midway through the words, she shuddered, "You...what did you just say?"

"My name is Chen Tianhua, not Mr. Chen from Dongpu Township!"

Chen Tianhua repeated it, this time he slowed down his speaking speed, cadenced, and raised his pitch an octave.

"This...Master Chen...he is crazy..."

Wu Xuanjiao was even more confused after hearing this. She had no idea who Chen Tianhua was? She thought Chen Tianhua was the name of Young Master Dongpu Chen.

Her face turned pale, she stared at Chen Tianhua dumbfounded, and began to tremble all over.

Could it be that this is still a fool, he...he is here to show off his stupidity?!

"Hey... Mr. Chen, you don't blame me for this. It's all the master... it's Yuxiang's father who made the decision."

Seeing the usually fierce housewife, she was shaking all over and looking ugly in front of Young Master Chen. The maid and servants standing next to her covered their mouths and snickered.

Such a drama was completely beyond Chen Tianhua's expectation. He was completely mistaken for Mr. Chen from Dongpu Township. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Chen Tianhua, who was in a dilemma and at a loss, angrily picked up the bag of money left on the Eight Immortals' table, shoved it into his arms, turned around and prepared to leave.

He raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Fan Mingzhong peeping at the door, and then shouted, "Second Young Master Fan, bring me my father's IOU."

When Fan Mingzhong saw Chen Tianhua shouting loudly, he was so frightened that he lost his mind.

"Bring it, bring it...here..."

He hurriedly handed Chen Shaoan's IOU of forty oceans to Chen Tianhua.

It turned out that when he saw Chen Tugen following his mother into the front hall, he thought that after paying off the money, he would definitely have to return the IOU.

So, he volunteered to go back to his room and took out the IOU first.

Fan Chenggui has basically handed over the loan sharking business in the village to Fan Mingzhong, and Chen Shaoan's IOUs are naturally stored with him.

When he just walked into the living room with the IOU in his arms, he saw his mother shaking her hands and explaining something.
