After learning that Chu Shouren's family had bought a house in the county town, Chu Pinggui made up his mind to win over his son's heart and make him change his mind and go back on his own initiative. Therefore, he did not allow Chu Shouren's brothers to come to him privately, especially Chu Shouren.
He kept his word strictly and did not even dare to reveal the address of Chu Shouli's house. He was afraid that if he got involved shamelessly, Chu Shouli would be annoyed and pushed further and further away.
Chu Pinggui wanted to have a steady stream of money, and he was confident enough to be able to handle Chu Shouli, so he planned to wait for his son to come home and then slowly ask for money from him. In short, this matter could not be rushed and had to be done step by step.
Only by playing the long game can you catch the big fish, and you can't stalemate the relationship just for a small profit.
Chu Pinggui made a plan, but unfortunately Chu Ning didn't give him a chance and blocked the road with just one sentence. Even though he had eighty tricks, he couldn't do anything.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of devouring Chu Shouli's family wealth.
But letting go completely is impossible.
He is his father. He gave birth to him and raised him. He raised him from a little baby who was crying for food to his age. He also married him and started a family. He did not treat him badly. Why should he leave him alone now that he has the ability?
He lives a good life alone.
That can't be done!
Chu Pinggui gritted his teeth and thought, if Chu Shouli really dared to borrow a piece of paper and evaded his responsibility as a son, then he would hang himself in front of his house and see how he behaves in the future.
Thinking of the scene of the unfilial son being spurned, Chu Pinggui finally felt relieved.
Hum, you unfilial bitch, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Just wait, I will let you know who is your father.
After making up his mind on how to manipulate Chu Shouli and how to extract money from his hands, Chu Pinggui could finally calm down and take good care of his health.
He needs to strengthen his body and bones before he can fight with that bitch, right?
Chu Pinggui was only thinking about how to deal with Chu Shouli, and did not pay attention to matters at home. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late. The heavy rain for several days in a row destroyed all the crops that he had worked hard for the whole season.
Knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Chu Pinggui's old waist suddenly collapsed.
After Mr. Fang sent someone to report the result, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he rolled his eyes and pouted on the spot.
However, Mr. Fang did not reduce their rent.
Because he has no sympathy for Chu Pinggui at all.
In desperation, Chu Pinggui stopped planning and directly sent Chu Shouren to ask for money from Chu Shouli.
And this son, whom he secretly cursed countless times, was still a human being, and he didn't dare to really ignore him, so he happily gave him money.
Just less.
Only five taels.
Qiaoqiao is enough to pay the land tax and rent.
The food rations for this large family have not yet been provided.
Furthermore, his body also needs medicine to recuperate. How can he do it without money?
And Da Lang, he has more social activities now, and his expenses are higher, but he doesn't want to do anything good to the old scholar Fang, so he can only be subsidized by his family, but their little wealth is not enough to go to a restaurant.
It’s for two meals, so I’m really short of money.
It's lacking everywhere.
But there is no place to earn it.
So we have to find a solution from Chu Shouli.
Chu Pinggui also knew that Chu Ning didn't care about the money Chu Shouli gave him, so he was fearless. Anyway, as long as he didn't mention the matter of letting their room come back, the girl wouldn't meddle in other people's business, and they didn't lack this now.
Silver, please help me with what's going on at home.
I live in such a big house, eating well and drinking spicy food all day long. When my father is sick, I just use five taels of silver to send him. He is an unfilial person, and he is not afraid of God striking him with lightning!
Chu Pinggui was very dissatisfied with Chu Shouli's stinginess. He called Chu Shouli and gave him detailed instructions, asking him to go to the county again and make sure to get more money back.
This was heard by Chu Shouyi, who was listening to Qiang Gen, and he shouted that he should go to the county to open his eyes and identify Chu Shouli's house, so that he would not have to find him if something happened in the future.
He also said that if this kind of errands were run, it would be enough to leave it to him. How could I ask my eldest brother to do the hard work?
What he said seemed to be Duo Jingsheng's eldest brother, Chu Shouren. In fact, Chu Shouren knew what he was thinking without having to guess.
Naturally, he didn't want anyone to know about his withholding of the money, and he couldn't let others take advantage of it. So he objected with all his strength, but Chu Shouyi didn't listen to him at all.
I ran to town and rented a car and went directly to the county seat.
Although Chu Shouli felt unhappy, he still gave him five taels of silver.
After he had eaten and drank enough at Chu's house, he cursed and took the money back, only handing over two taels, saying that Chu Shouli had given him so much.
Chu Shouren naturally didn't believe it, but since there was no evidence, he had no choice but to give up.
After the keen Chu Shouzhi noticed the intrigue between the two, he went to the county town on his own initiative to ask for money from Chu Shouli.
Originally, he wanted to make a lot of money, but Chu Shouli only gave him twenty taels. He was so angry that he wanted to destroy the Chu family. However, with Xiao Huihui here, this idea could only be an idea.
Chu Pinggui took the one tael of silver he handed back, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, while Old Chen cursed directly, "If I had known that this little brat was unfilial, I should have pressed him until he peed when I gave birth to him."
Drown in a barrel!"
This kind of words made Chu Pinggui feel resentful. He scolded her a few times and warned her to control her mouth in the future. Don't curse everything all day long. "Our old Chu family also has status now."
You are no longer the mud-legged person you used to be, and you should start to uphold the rules and etiquette. Even you can no longer act recklessly and scold the world, otherwise I won't be able to spare you if it affects Da Lang."
Lao Chen felt embarrassed when she was scolded, so she frowned and said, "If I wasn't angry with that bastard, Third Brother, I shouldn't have listened to you. Take your time..."
She kept nagging and complaining, which annoyed Chu Pinggui very much. "I will go find him when I am strong. I don't believe he can kick me out as my father."
He made up his mind to peel off a layer of skin from Chu Shouli, but before he could take action, Chu Shouxin suddenly ran back with a bruised nose and face, saying that Chu Shouli threatened to kill anyone who asked for money from him again.
His mother-in-law he beat didn't even recognize him.
Chu Pinggui was furious.
"This bastard, do you really think I can't do anything to him?!"
Regardless of his health, he asked Chu Shouren to rent a carriage, then took Lao Chen and angrily went straight to Linyong County.
As a result, I was unable to enter the city.
In the martial arts gym, after everyone finished practicing a set of boxing and kicking skills, they all sat on the steps to rest.
"I heard that from today on, the city gates will be closed an hour earlier and opened an hour later in the morning. And from now on, the city will be under full martial law, except for the people of the county and those with legitimate business, or the civil servants sent by the superiors.
, no one else is going to enter the city."
Chu Ning frowned, "When the refugees poured into the city, there was no martial law. Why is it suddenly under martial law now? What happened?"
