Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 6: Four dangerous walls, tear down the past and start everything from scratch

When Mrs. Chen Liu heard this, she said with a pale face: "Take it, take it, let's take it. But in recent years, our talented family has been taking medicine all the time, and we owe a lot of money. Youyi's pension is given to his second brother. After paying back the money for the medicine, now... I only have a few taels of silver. After a while, I have to go get the medicine, which will cost... a lot of money..."

Listening to Chen Liu's words, Mr. Shen suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed so familiar.

So he said patiently: "So in the final analysis, you'd better not take it, right?"

Mrs. Chen Liu: "It's either that I won't take it, or I can wait until I have money and then give it to me slowly."

Hearing this, Baitaotao was originally worried that the county magistrate would agree. Once the county magistrate nodded, there would be no chance of getting the money back.

What surprised Bai Taotao was that before she could object, the county magistrate immediately shouted loudly: "Are you treating me as a three-year-old child? Do you know what the consequences will be if you deceive me?"

"Come here, first pull this cunning woman who deceived me and give her twenty sticks until she tells the truth and gives out the money."

"No!" Ms. Chen Liu roared, "I'll give it, I'll give it, I'll give it."

Mrs. Chen Liu said that she immediately got up from the ground, and then ran into the house. After a while, she took out three ingots of silver, five ingots of silver, and a small hanging copper plate.

(Note: One small hanging = one hundred copper plates, one hanging equals one thousand copper plates = one tael of silver)
"Thirty-five taels, one hundred coppers, all...all...here. Not a penny missing. Count...count." At this moment, Mrs. Chen Liu no longer dared to play tricks, not a penny was missing. Dare to swallow.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Shen looked at Bai Taotao and motioned for Bai Taotao to come over and take the money.

Bai Taotao went over and took the money from Mrs. Chen Liu, then looked at Shen Zheng gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, the county magistrate, for upholding justice for the daughter of the people."

Shen Zheng: "As long as the money matches, it's enough. Now that you have nothing to do with this family, you should think about where to stay."

After saying that, Shen Zheng looked at Chen Demin and Chen Lizheng and asked, "Are there any vacant houses in the village now?"

Before Chen Demin could answer, someone in the crowd said loudly: "Isn't their old house at the end of the village unoccupied?"

"Yes. But it seems that the house does not belong to Chen Deyi alone. It also belongs to Chen Defu and his two brothers."

"The land around the old house also belongs to Chen Defu's family."

After hearing this, Shen Zheng asked, "Is Chen Defu here?"

"Uncle Defu was angry because they wanted to remove Youyi's wife from the family tree." Chen Youzhou answered.

Chen Demin quickly looked at his son and said, "Then go and call your Uncle Defu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Defu, who had been keeping an eye on the place behind everyone, just walked out and said: "We haven't lived in that house for many years, and it is empty. If Youyi's wife doesn't dislike it, she can live there. "

"But because I haven't lived in it for many years, the inside is in tatters. It's best to repair it before moving in. You can go and stay with your sister-in-law for a few days, and then move in after the house is repaired."

"Also, you are no longer related to their family. My uncle will always recognize you as his niece-in-law. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to your uncle and tell him. He will definitely help you within the scope of his ability, but if you can't help, don't do it. It’s the uncle’s fault.”

After hearing this, Bai Taotao suddenly felt a little warm in her heart, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. If uncle has no other use for the house in the future, can you sell it to me? With so many things happening now, I feel that it still belongs to me. Only when your heart is at ease can you live more peacefully."

Chen Defu waved his hand: "The family says whether to sell it or not, but it is just half an acre of land. I will ask your aunt to bring the deed of the house to you later."

Upon hearing this, Bai Taotao asked: "Does the whole house belong to my uncle?" Chen Defu replied: "When the house was divided, I only occupied one-third because I wanted the surrounding open space. But later your father took the rest. The house and the land were all sold to me, and now the old house and the surrounding land belong to my uncle."

Bai Taotao: "Uncle, can you sell me the surrounding land and houses? Don't worry, you can just give me the land after harvesting the crops."

Chen Defu thought for a while and nodded: "Sure."

Seeing Chen Defu nodding, Shen Zheng also raised a smile and said: "Okay, now that the matter has been dealt with, I will not be involved in the remaining matters. I have other things to do, so I will take the first step."

Bai Taotao: "What happened today is thanks to you, sir, for coming forward to uphold justice. I'm very grateful to this woman."

After sending the county magistrate away, Bai Taotao simply packed up her belongings and left this top-notch nest.

After placing the things with Chen Wang, Chen Defu led her to the old house at the end of the village.

One room in the old house has collapsed in half, and there are two other rooms that have been tidied up and repaired. It should not be a big problem to live in for the time being.

However, if it rains heavily or snows heavily in winter, you may still be a little worried.

And the entire roof has to be replaced, otherwise it will be impossible to live in.

Although there is a kitchen, the stove is a little loose due to long periods of disuse, so it can only be used as a makeshift.

Looking at the dilapidated house, even repairing Baitaotao felt that it would only save a few walls.

And these walls currently look like they could collapse at any time.

"Uncle, how much money does it cost to build an adobe house now? It doesn't have to be very big, just two rooms plus a kitchen and a hut. If it's too expensive, maybe one room can be used. The child's room will be discussed later."

"Two adobe houses plus a kitchen should cost about three taels of silver. The huts can be made of straw, so there is no need to waste the adobe. In addition, we can go up the mountain to find the beams ourselves. If you decide to knock them down and rebuild, the beams will be removed. Find it for you. Now that you are pregnant, you have to pay more attention to many things. When the time comes, I will ask your sister-in-law to come over and help you. When building a house, the wages cannot be less. If the workers build the house better, you can live in peace of mind. some."

After hearing this, Bai Taotao nodded and said without hesitation: "Then push it to reconstruction, and I will feel at ease living like this. It's just that I don't know much about building a house, so I have to ask my uncle for help."

Chen Defu: "You silly kid, we are all from our own family. If you don't understand, just ask your uncle and he will help you find someone."

Bai Taotao: "Okay, then I'll leave the construction of the house to my uncle."

After such discussion, the two people left.

The first thing after returning home, Bai Taotao bought the homestead of the old house and the surrounding land.

There are two acres of land in total. The land after the homestead was demolished can be sold at the price of wasteland, but it is only half an acre. Moreover, this is just helping his uncle, so Baitaotao directly sells it as normal land. The price is given in silver.

Now one acre of land is worth one tael of silver, and two acres of land is exactly 2 taels.

Bai Taotao still stuffed the two taels of silver for a long time, and after making many 'threats', Chen Defu accepted it.
