After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 183 Chen Xingyan's Intention

Chen Xingyan's meaning is actually very simple, that is, the ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and now that the life of the Lu family is better, the ancestors should not be wronged anymore.

Fang felt that Chen Xingyan was a sensible person, and he even praised her for a long time.

The village chief also kept smiling. He was also worried about the ancestral hall.

If the ancestral hall is repaired, it will not cost much, but it may have to be repaired every year.

"Uncle, the younger generation doesn't understand this, what if we rebuild another ancestral hall?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's a small matter to spend money, the most important thing is to invite Mr. Feng Shui."

"Uncle, now our Lu family can finally have some signs of prosperity. It is thanks to the blessing of our ancestors. If you want me to say, it's okay to spend some money. It would be good to invite a well-known gentleman to come and have a look, so that the ancestors won't have to worry about it." You think we are not filial as children and grandchildren, what do you think?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment, and asked a well-known Fengshui master to come over and take a look. He was afraid that at least ten taels of silver would be needed to start, and he would have to eat two good rice noodles, which were all in silver.

"In terms of money, uncle, don't worry. Our family dare not say anything else. We are still very rich in money. Before Daxiong went out to work, he also told me to discuss with the village head and aunt if I had anything to do. The overall situation is the most important thing. It just so happens that the ancestral hall is leaking again and again, so I came up with this idea."

The village chief sighed, "You are a good boy! It is his blessing that Big Bear married you, and it is also the blessing of our Lu clan."

"Uncle, I don't dare to take that. Actually, I'm here, and I have one more thing I want to ask the village chief for help."

"You said."

Chen Xingyan told about the previous penalty imposed by the county magistrate.

"Uncle, Auntie, I shouldn't have brought up this matter, but the wife of Liu Xunjian reminded me yesterday that this is the punishment of the county magistrate, and it is the punishment of the Dazhi Law. As for the clerical staff, I have been busy before, so I didn't take care of this matter, if someone from the county government came to check it later, it would be difficult to hide it."

The village chief nodded. He has been the village chief for many years, and he also understands this aspect.

If Mrs. Lu paid a fine of ten taels of silver, then Chen Xingyan would still have to sign for a bond here, and the case could be considered complete.

"What you said is nothing. After all, it was sentenced by the county magistrate, and you didn't have to ask for it yourself. Moreover, you pleaded at the time and exempted the old lady from twenty boards. This is equivalent to saving her life." She's dead."

This is not an exaggeration at all. At the age of Mrs. Lu, and with her physique, she will not be much better if she is twenty boards down.

So, when Mrs. Lu came back cursing, she was still hated by the village head and several clan elders for several days.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, and you don't need to come forward. I'll help you get here."

"Then trouble uncle."

The village head also felt that it was inappropriate for Chen Xingyan, a junior, to come forward to ask for money. Even Lu Laohan and the Wang family were both juniors, which made Mrs. Lu feel that she had power to depend on, and kept refusing to give money.

But Chen Xingyan was the plaintiff, and if she didn't come to the yamen to sign in a day, then strictly speaking, the case would not be considered over.

Therefore, even if the village head is considering the reputation of the whole clan, he doesn't want to make things worse.

You must know that the few people Chen Xingyan sued at the beginning were not from the Lu family village. It was only because of the interrogation and investigation by the county magistrate that the people behind the scenes were found out. The old lady Lu was not the only one who was sentenced to money. one.

"Uncle, Lu Xinghua also asks you to help me out. Anyway, I'm wearing the name of an aunt, and I can't do too much."

"Sure, no problem, I'll take someone to Jiangjia Village tomorrow."

Chen Xingyan nodded, then raised his hand again, and Mrs. Qi handed her a purse.

Chen Xingyan put the purse on the table.

"Uncle, Auntie, no matter how much money you want to get back, I will go to the county government to settle the case. After all, there must be an explanation, otherwise, if someone threatens this matter, it will not be beautiful. Come back You don’t have to give me any more silver, it’s just for us to rebuild the ancestral hall, there’s still 50 taels of silver here, if it’s not enough, just send someone to let me know.”

The village chief's hands trembled a little.

"Enough is enough! Even if it is not enough, the rest of the money should be paid by members of the Lu clan, not all of you."

Chen Xingyan smiled.

The main reason why she spends money generously with the members of the Lu clan is that the patriarch is clear.

Knowing that she pays for love, and not paying is for duty.

Just for this, she also felt that the rise of the Lu family should not be far away.

"Uncle, what you said is outrageous again. In our family, the big bear is on the job, the little cow is studying, and my father-in-law is not in good health. If we rebuild the ancestral hall, I am afraid that our family will not be able to spend too much manpower, so we can only do it." It’s because there is more money, so as to avoid the clansmen’s opinions, and I don’t want to make it difficult for you.”

The village head who said this didn't want to mention more ironing posts in his heart.

"Good boy, everyone has seen and remembered what your family has done for our Lu family. Don't worry, everyone will never forget the kindness of your family."

"The more you say this, the more extravagant it is, then I won't bother you and your aunt, so I will leave first."

"Well, go back, the matter is done, and I will let your aunt tell you."

"Thank you uncle and aunt."

Chen Xingyan took Qi back home, and along the way, Qi praised Miss's skill.

But Calamus, who served Chen Xingyan tea after arriving home, didn't understand.

"Those people didn't pay our lady 30 taels of compensation in total, but our lady gave up 50 taels. How can it be worth it?"

Chen Xingyan smiled without saying a word.

Qi stared at her and said: "You, you only have money in your eyes! Why don't you think about how much Miss can gain from this incident?"

Calamus blinked, after all, he was a child, and his thinking was far less far-sighted than adults.

Qi said angrily: "This child! Although the young lady gave away 50 taels of silver, but this anger is out, because they have to give the compensation silver, which was sentenced by the government. And This is rebuilding the ancestral hall, a major event for the entire family, and it must be recorded in the genealogy."

Calamus still didn't understand: "What's the use of that?"

"Why is it useless? According to the rules, this matter must be recorded on my uncle's head. This is equivalent to being a figure that my uncle and the whole family will be grateful for in the future. Who will dare to talk nonsense behind his back in the future?"
