Chen Mo knew in his heart that the source of today's trouble was Qin Sandao, so while keeping a cold face, he also transferred the conflict without leaving any trace.
"Butcher Zhang, there may be a misunderstanding between us. But Chen believes that it is definitely not the case between you."
"Chen Jiaoyu is wise, there is indeed no misunderstanding between Qin Sandao and I, but a scheme by him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Butcher Zhang directly grabbed Qin Sandao.
"Say it, tell it to the letter. If you dare to tell a lie, I will change your name to Qin Baidao. If this affects Chaoer's future, I will kill you."
"I said, say it now."
Facing Butcher Zhang, Qin Sandao didn't even dare to let out a fart, and directly told him about losing money in gambling and selling Qin Xiangqiao.
Moreover, he begged Butcher Zhang to buy it.
"Butcher Zhang, how much did he ask for from you?" Chen Mo asked coldly.
"Five taels." Butcher Zhang told him bluntly.
Snapped!
As soon as Butcher Zhang finished speaking, Chen Mo slapped Qin Sandao on the face.
hiss……
While Qin Sandao was stunned, everyone else also gasped.
How cruel!
No matter what, Qin Sandao is Chen Mo's father-in-law, so he really has to kill him.
"You sold your daughter for five taels of silver. You are worse than a pig or a dog." After Chen Mo scolded angrily, he looked to the side, "Xianlian, do you have any money with you?"
"My lord, my family only took two hundred coins with them when they went out yesterday, and they all went shopping." Qin Xianglian seemed to be frightened and answered timidly.
"Did Shulang bring it with him?" Chen Mo asked again.
"Master, how much do you want? Is a hundred taels enough?" Huang Shulang took out a banknote directly.
"Twelve."
"have."
Huang Shulang picked up the banknote and took out ten taels of silver.
"Butcher Zhang, here are ten taels of silver, of which five taels are returned to you, and the other five taels are considered as compensation. Let's settle today's matter like this." Chen Mo handed it over.
"Chen Jiaoyu has spoken. Of course I have nothing to say." Butcher Zhang responded and took the five taels. "I only want my own share. If there are more, I will ask him to take them back. Otherwise, I won't even get these five taels."
No need. After all, this matter started because of Qin Sandao and has nothing to do with the teachings."
"..."
Seeing Zhang Tuzi's persistence, and in order for today's affairs to be successful, Chen Mo made a promise.
"Although I am a lecturer who can teach in academies all over the county, I will still spend most of my time in Qingyang Academy or even at home. If Butcher Zhang agrees and your son is willing, he can come to me to discuss it at any time.
Academic problems will never be kept secret."
"this……"
Father and son Zhang looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Zhang Chao, why are you suddenly stupid? Why don't you quickly thank Chen Jiaoyu?" Shen Tao looked worried, "To be honest, if I had a choice, I would rather give up going to Zhoufu Academy and worship Chen Jiaoyu."
Under the disciples of Yu. Now that Yu has taken the initiative to speak, do you know what a blessing this is?"
"Brother Shen, I..." Zhang Chao stopped talking.
"You silly boy, why don't you thank Lu Jiaoyu quickly?"
Butcher Zhang could see clearly that when Shen Tao talked about Chen Mo, his eyes were filled with light.
There are two emotions hidden behind that, respect and admiration.
You must know that Shen Tao came in second place in the county examination. For him to show such emotions shows that Chen Mo has real talent and learning.
"Student Zhang Chao, thank you Chen for your teaching."
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. If you have time in the future, go out for more walks. If you just stick to reading, you will not be able to become a great person in the future." Chen Mo took advantage of the situation.
"Chao'er, you heard it, Chen Jiaoyu said the same thing as dad."
After finding common ground, Butcher Zhang began to feel that Chen Mo was reliable, and insisted on returning the five taels of silver.
"There is no reason to take back what you have taken away." Chen Mo refused and said, "Xiangqiao, why don't you thank Zhang Butcher quickly? If he hadn't been open-minded and generous, what happened today would not have ended well."
The shout of Fourth Uncle Zhang made Butcher Zhang's face turn red and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
What kind of evil was this?
Feeling ashamed and remorseful, Butcher Zhang forced the five taels of silver into his hand.
"Qiao'er, it's my fourth uncle who is confused. You can take this money and buy some food and clothes, but you must not give it to your father."
"Fourth uncle, Qiao'er can't take this money." Qin Xiangqiao refused.
"Take it."
Chen Mo knew in his heart that although the money was said to be for Qin Xiangqiao, it was actually Zhang Butcher who was selling him favors.
Anyway, if he agreed to train Zhang Chao, it was just like collecting tuition fees in disguise.
"Okay, I will listen to my brother-in-law." Qin Xiangqiao held on to the money tightly.
"Chen Jiaoyu, what should he do?" Butcher Zhang pointed at Qin Sandao.
"Let him go." Chen Mo was too lazy to talk to Qin Sandao, "If you dare to have any ideas about Xiang Lian and Xiang Qiao in the future, I will make you disappear from the world."
Chen Mo will not be soft-hearted when dealing with gamblers, otherwise he will only hurt himself.
"..."
Qin Sandao said nothing and walked out with a sullen expression, looking like a bereaved dog.
"Wait, where did you sell the cow?" Qin Xianglian asked.
"Sold to a cattle dealer, I don't know whether he killed it or sold it." After saying that, Qin Sandao rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and fled in a hurry.
"Qin Sandao, you really deserve to die." Qin Xianglian stamped her feet angrily.
"If you sell it, just sell it. If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come." Chen Mo comforted, "Besides, that cow is old and may die one day."
"Official, the slave family is reluctant to part with that old Niu." Qin Xianglian said with some sadness, "Since the official got married, all the thoughts of the official have been on obtaining fame. The slave family has to run around in order to make a living. Without Lao Niu's help, I am afraid that
There is no way we can survive the day when officials will be promoted to the imperial edict."
"Besides, before my father passed away, he said that no matter how hard life is, the old cow cannot be sold. If possible, the slave family still wants to get the old cow back."
"In that case, let's find it."
Chen Mo knew that Qin Xianglian's above-mentioned remarks were all false. The real reason was that Lao Niu had extraordinary significance to this family and to the couple.
We have been with you all the way and witnessed the wind and rain.
It’s easy to say it, but the question is how to find it?
"Chen Jiaoyu, leave this matter to me." Butcher Zhang said, "The business I do cannot avoid livestock dealers, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, then there's Uncle Zhang." Chen Mo took advantage of the situation and changed his title.
"You should call me Zhang Butcher. My fourth uncle really can't bear it."
After being humble, Butcher Zhang gave Zhang Chao a few words of advice before leaving.
"It stands to reason that Chen Jiaoyu and the others should be invited to the house, but today's matter is really disgraceful, so let's set up a banquet at Qin's house and I'll come back as soon as I've finished my work."
"I know, dad, I will definitely entertain Chen Jiaoyu." Zhang Chao nodded.
"I'll go prepare with you, and by the way, I'll tell you about Chen Jiaoyu's deeds at the county government dinner last night." Shen Tao chased after him.
"Qiao'er, come here."
After everyone left, Chen Mo waved to Qin Xiangqiao.
