playful and spoiled as she used to be, enjoying herself without any restraint.She was going to try to make a plan, try to set a goal, try to make herself stronger.In the future, she can also repay he...He hurried to the back yard, instructing Chen Xi to watch the shop carefully. Then, carrying his cotton robe with long slits on both sides, he ran off.
Jia Yin stood before the gates of the textile shop, seeing the clanging and chaotic mess inside. The anger in her heart finally dissipated.
Breaking things is not anyone's patent!
If the Chen family dares to run amok at Suijin Beach, then they should be prepared to be treated the same way!
Speaking of which, the Chen family is quite wealthy.
A commercial street actually had three shops: a textile shop, a calligraphy and painting shop, and a restaurant.
Today, if we don't expose the Chen family's true nature, it won't be enough to deter all the evil spirits!
When Peng, the shopkeeper, ran to the front, a large crowd of onlookers had also gathered outside his stall.
He didn't wait to ask a few questions, and when Xiao Cui and the other women loudly denounced the Chen family, he understood.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Master, I was unaware of such a major event happening at home, and I wasn't able to rush over. I hope you will forgive me."
Jia Yin shook her head and said, "It's normal not to know since the city and the outside are so far apart. Just take care of yourselves in the White Clouds!"
As they were talking, a patrol of city guards arrived.
Seeing that a store was being vandalized, they definitely would have stopped to question what was going on.
Peng Zhanggui hurriedly stepped forward, explaining the situation and slipped a silver coin.
Chen Chuanjiu was the commander of the city defense army, but after his son's accident, he had been on leave at home.
Logically, now that Chen's shop has had an incident, the city guard should do their utmost to maintain order.
But Peng the shopkeeper said, the imperial edict arrived at Suijin Beach and Commander Chen will have to serve half a year of hard labor.
After Chen Chuan's transmission, it is uncertain whether he can return to the city defense army...
The captain of the city defense squad was also a cunning man. He instructed his men to stay here and guard, while he rushed back to report.
New Du now lacks everything, except people. For every job opening, there are hundreds vying for it.
Now that Chen Chuan has made a mistake, it's a good opportunity.
At least the Vice-President would be delighted to hear of the Chen family's downfall, seizing the opportunity to remove that "Vice" from his title.
Even this lucky bird can get a little bit of benefit...
Thus, the city guard not only failed to protect Chen's shop but instead followed behind and watched the commotion.
Lao Hei and others left the fabric shop and rushed to the calligraphy and painting shop. After leaving the calligraphy and painting shop, they smashed the wine house!
The fabric store and the calligraphy and painting shop are fine, not many people.
The restaurant was half-full, and with such a sudden incident happening, the diners naturally wanted to know what was going on, especially since they wouldn't have to pay for their meals.
Then, news that the Chen family had run into a wall and Princess Kangle was furious spread through Xin Du in an instant.
Some people say that the Chen family is too extreme in their actions. The Ministry of Punishment has not investigated and found any results, so how can they convict the Li family and do such a heartless thing as carrying the coffin to their door
Some people say that the Li family is unreasonable and should show compassion to the Chen family, who are grieving the loss of their child and mother. Even if the Chen family was wrong, they should be more tolerant.
But whether the world is fair or not, standing and talking without back pain, Jia Yin gave a hard vent of anger, and Suijin Tan also had hundreds more laborers...
And the Chen family finally heard the news, knowing that the men and servants had been left at Suijin Beach!
Three sisters-in-law were completely panicked!
The old woman was still in mourning, awaiting the funeral.
Two of the grandsons, one died outside and the other died young, leaving a few unmarried girls who are useless!
If three men can't go home for half a year, the Chen family will be completely ruined!
Besides these, the Chen family's servants left on Suijin Beach weren't enough. Among them, there were over thirty veterans who weren't slaves.
Now, the families of the veterans have all gone to their homes crying incessantly.
"Madam, our old Master Hou is over fifty years old! He can't possibly do hard labor! This would be the end of him!"
"That's right, Madam. We agreed before that we were only going to make a show of support, I never said it would be like this! The pillar of our family is gone just like that, how are we supposed to live now!"
"The whole family relies on the man to provide, oh woe is me! The rice pot is empty!"
Originally, Madam Chen was in charge of the household. Now, her hands are broken and she is in agonizing pain; she can't even bother with these people.
Mrs. Chen the Second took this opportunity to grab the storeroom key and take over the tasks.
But she was unwilling to give them silver and grain, prevaricating for a few days, saying that her household was in turmoil and she couldn't spare the time for them.
Once those unwilling people had left, she started packing up her belongings in her room and secretly sending them back to her parents' home, asking her brothers to hide them.
She had no sons with the two old masters, only one legitimate daughter and two illegitimate daughters.
The old woman has passed away, so it's inevitable that the Chen family will split up. It's a wise choice to take some good things in advance.
Even if Old Master Chen were to have some issue, she could leave with her daughter and wouldn't be penniless.
Seeing their master like this, the servants naturally became terrified.
There are convenient ways to embezzle money and falsify accounts.
If there's nothing convenient, just find something to take out and sell secretly.
When the big tree falls, all the monkeys will look out for themselves!
Dr. Chen's family was from the southwest border, and they couldn't find anyone to help them. They could only stay in the Buddhist hall every day.
For a time, the grand Chen residence was like a bustling marketplace in disarray.
Under these circumstances, no one took care of the old woman's corpse in the spirit shrine.
At midnight, a few people snuck in to perform an autopsy and no one noticed.
Even the absence of a wife or maidservant from the household didn't draw any attention...
Regardless of joy or sorrow, life goes on at its own pace.
Three or five days passed in a flash, and after a storm of wind and snow, the land was covered even more solidly.
This evening, the lord returned to the village. The Li family directly cooked hotpot, which was convenient and warming.
The vegetables in the greenhouse, last time Mr. Yi took away two baskets, and quite a few fruits were also picked.
But with the spacious courtyard of Jia Yin as its backdrop, how could it possibly lack the comforts of home!
As always, two tables were set up. In the center of the large round table in the main hall sat a brass double-boiler pot, one side with spicy bone broth and the other with nutritious mushroom broth, both bubbling merrily.
Surrounded by lush green vegetables, were pearly fish balls, emerald shrimp cakes, crimson slices of lamb, and black wood ear mushrooms. The spread was so plentiful it was almost overflowing the table.
On the kang in the east room there was a large kang table. Li Lao Tai brought Tao Hongying, Jia Yin, Wen Juan and Wen Fu ren, as well as Dong Mei, Qiong's wife, Tian Mama and He Mama, all gathered around the table, eating happily.
Shuilin and Shuoyun were tending to things on the ground, but halfway through, they were also driven to the kitchen by Lao Tai Li to join Zheng He and the others in the festivities.
Old Mrs. Li asked her daughter-in-law, "Was a copper pot also sent over there"
Tao Hongying ladled a spoonful of shrimp paste for her daughter, smiling and replying: “Yes, my dear. I originally wanted to invite Uncle Village Head and Uncle Zhao over for dinner, but it’s dark and slippery on the roads at night, and it’s also too cold. I'm afraid they might fall if they drink alcohol and go back.”
So, might as well send the things over and add another jar of wine. That way, Liu Biaotou's family and Hui Niang and her son will all be able to have a lively meal together.
Even if the older guys get drunk and just fall asleep, it's better than us having to worry about them.
"Yes, you've thought this through well." Grandma Li nodded, praising her daughter-in-law, "Old people are afraid of falling. Lying on the kang for a few months is about all they have left to live."
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, “I see that the village head and Uncle Zhao seem quite nimble on their feet these days. They've been following along with Chen’s men as they dig the irrigation ditch, shouting instructions with all their might.”
Everyone also laughed when they heard this.e separated only by a wall, closer than family. It wouldn't matter where the banquet is held.""You, take care of the child in your belly, that's more important than anything else! The rest is all smal...
