Linxia

Chapter 104, Serial

The next day, because Chai Yiwei and Huang Di gave their leave to Fang Lin, Fang Lin still had some free time and continued to tour the city with Fang Chuanhui and Fang Yuyu.

At Yishun Teahouse, the play "Du Shiniang's Wrath and Sinking of the Treasure Box" was still playing, so he did not go to watch the play and continued to visit the city with Fang Chuanhui and Fang Yuyu. On the way, he met Widow Chen, Song Guangcheng, and the Song Liu couple and said hello.

It turned out that Song Guangcheng and his wife wanted to visit the prison, and entrusted the matter to Ma Xiucai. Widow Chen and others wanted to sue, so when they knew about this, they wanted to follow and see. If the other party could handle the Song family's affairs, it meant that he was capable, and the lawsuit could also be handed over to him.

When they arrived at the government office, Scholar Ma said that everything had been arranged, and took another two taels of silver to arrange a visit to Song Guangcheng and his wife in prison. Widow Chen witnessed the man's strength, so she came to ask about it. When the man said that the matter could be done, she paid a deposit, saying it was the money for writing a complaint, and went back to wait for news.

"Looking at Mr. Ma's reaction, I think this thing can really be done."

Widow Chen successfully completed her business and was very happy. On the way back, her steps became much lighter. Halfway through, she passed by a clothing and jewelry store she had visited yesterday and stopped.

"As for Guihua, since it works, there will be a large sum of money coming into the account in the future, so there is no need to be too stingy. Besides, it's not easy to come to the capital, why don't you go in and buy a few pieces?"

She murmured, hesitating, and thought of what Wang Po, who Guihua's sister asked to take them around the city, said yesterday: "Money is something that is earned, not saved", "We women should be better to ourselves", "Which woman doesn't have two pieces of jewelry that she can show off", "Jewelry is something that you should buy early and enjoy early, and one piece will last forever", "We women are just good-looking, but it only lasts for a few years. Things that you can't afford when you are young, you will miss them for the rest of your life"...

Every word seems like the temptation of the devil.

"What Wang Po said makes sense. Besides, these are rare goods in the capital. If I take them back to the countryside, even if I don't like them anymore, I can still resell them. Who knows, I can sell them at the original price, or even at a higher price..."

Widow Chen comforted herself and walked into the shop.

……

pier.

Chen Fengshi said all the nice things she could and finally got the information from someone: "You're asking about Master Xu? He's a big shot! See this pier? It belongs to him. I heard that Master Xu has a fleet and hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the city... What happened? Did you offend him?"

——This guy also doesn't know the whole story. It is obvious that Xu Kuo Lao only contracted a section of the wharf, but in his mouth, the whole wharf belongs to him. He also has some shares in a fleet, but in his mouth, it becomes a fleet. Add to that some other groundless and exaggerated statements, it is really misleading.

"How could that be possible? How could that be possible?"

Chen Fengshi was terrified when she heard this. She knew that it would be impossible to invite such a big shot to act in a play just because of that bitch Guihua.

"That little bitch Guihua really hooked up with a noble man." She felt jealous and hateful.

……

Baishun Hutong.

Chen Guiyun came to inquire when Sister Guihua had hooked up with Xu Kuolao.

"When? They have been hooked up for a long time. Otherwise, why do you think no one has bullied them since they are orphans and widows?" said the lady.

In fact, Xu Kuo Lao had only come once or twice in the past twenty days, but he had deliberately concealed it so that people could see it. However, the more he concealed it, the more people would think about it. People would think, I only saw him once or twice, so who knows how many times he had seen him before?

This kind of romantic affair, and climbing up the social ladder, is very likely to cause jealousy of the same sex. The evil of human nature often leads to malicious speculation, such as thinking that since Sister Guihua is an orphan and a widow and is not bullied, has she hooked up with someone long ago? With further guidance and spread, the rumor spreads, creating a false impression that Sister Guihua has hooked up with someone long ago.

Chen Guiyun asked several families repeatedly, and they all said the same thing, that Sister Guihua had been having an affair with someone else a long time ago.

"Since they had hooked up long ago, it's impossible that they saw us coming and deliberately put on an act to fool us. Guihua, that bitch, is really lucky!"

At this point, he was basically certain that Sister Guihua had indeed hooked up with a noble man, and now she had become a phoenix on the tree, and had become someone he could not afford to offend.

Chen Guiyun was thinking about this and went back in a depressed mood.

"Uncle, come and play!" A woman in her thirties, with above-average looks, fair skin and a plump figure, pulled him.

"Gudong!" Chen Guiyun felt the fullness on her arms and smelled the alluring aroma. He felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. He looked at her stiffly. He felt that this woman was much better than his own yellow-faced wife. He couldn't help swallowing slightly, but he still refused subconsciously and waved his hand, "No... No."

"Oh, are you still shy? Well, I, Zeng Er Niang, am happy today and will give you a discount... Come on!" Zeng Er Niang pulled him in.

Chen Guiyun didn't want to leave at first, but suddenly his legs lost control and when he came to his senses, he had been pulled into the house. Now that he was already inside, it would not be good to just leave like that.

"Or maybe..."

Chen Guiyun thought that even though Big Head was dominated by Little Head, he still held his belt tightly and asked the price before going to bed.

After Zeng Erniang said that, he found that he could bear it, so he gritted his teeth and finally decided to have some meat today and enjoy himself like a master.

When the pants are taken off, the sword will be sheathed.

"Wait, sir, don't rush to the classroom!"

"There are many ways to do this. Going to bed is called going to class." Chen Guiyun muttered to himself, and then he saw Zeng Erniang stand up and take out a colorful but tattered dress.

"This dress is very beautiful, sir, do you want me to try it on?"

"This..." Chen Guiyun's mind flashed with the image of the other person wearing it. He couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva and nodded vigorously: "I want to!"

"You want to?" Zeng Erniang said in a seductive voice, but then she changed the subject: "You have to pay more!"

……

"Master, I have thirty-six unique skills, which will surely make you feel like you are in heaven. Why don't you try it? It's not easy to have a chance to play, how can you not enjoy it?"

"it is good."

"You have to pay more!"

……

"Master, I have some medicine. Although... she is also very cute, but after spending so much money, are you really willing not to have fun?"

"Okay, I'll add..."

"I know, add more money!"

……

When Chen Guiyun pulled up his pants and came out, his legs were weak and his face was pale. When the wind blew, his mind calmed down. He touched his empty bag and wanted to slap himself.

"Forget it, at least I enjoyed it." He comforted himself: "I should think about how to deal with that yellow-faced woman when I get back!"

……

The next day.

Chen Fengshi went out to buy breakfast. In fact, there was breakfast available for diners in the inn, and it was relatively affordable, but as stingy as she was, she was still unwilling to spend that money and instead went out to buy 'takeout'.

——This takeaway is not the takeaway from outside. It is the breakfast prepared by some people in the city, such as rice soup and pickles, which they sell in buckets. There is no fixed stall because the cost is extremely low and the price is cheap. However, there is one thing. People who sell this kind of food must avoid gangsters and petty officials. If they are caught, they will lose their income for one or two days. It was fine a few days ago. This morning, Chen Fengshi ordered two breakfasts and paid for them. Before she got the food, a petty official appeared in the distance. The vendor immediately picked up the bucket and ran away. He ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.

It doesn’t matter if the other party ran away, but he also took away the money for the meal without giving us the meal.

"Damn it, you're cheating me, an old country woman!"

No matter who it is, encountering such a thing early in the morning would make them feel bad, Chen Fengshi went back cursing.

She had only taken a few steps when a man pushed a load of manure over. When he passed by her, he suddenly tilted and some manure spilled out.

Even though Chen Fengshi dodged quickly, her pants were inevitably stained with the liquid.

She was just about to start swearing and extorting some money.

The other party, however, started to curse at him: "You have no eyes, don't you look at the road when you walk? I spilled my best Ren Zhong Huang, are you going to compensate me?"

"The wicked are the first to complain, you..."

Chen Feng had a quarrel with the other party, but didn't gain any advantage. In the end, they had to go their separate ways. After this incident, she felt even worse.

I continued forward and passed a corner. Someone poured water on me and it froze into ice. I almost fell again.

The series of bad luck made Chen Fengshi very upset. She felt like a pig that was being inflated and was about to explode.

She suppressed herself and was very careful for the rest of the journey, and finally, nothing happened.

When I was almost back to the inn, I passed by two women in their thirties, looking worldly.

"He must be a prostitute, a piece of rotten pants!" Chen Feng cursed in her heart, but suddenly she heard someone on the other side say: "Yesterday morning, I received a customer named Chen, he was a big fat sheep..."

She paused, and somehow she suddenly remembered that last night in bed, Chen Guiyun insisted on blowing out the lights. Unlike before, he turned from a weakling into a slug. She immediately had some guesses, but she suppressed them and did not act out. She planned to go back and test it out first, hoping that it was just a misunderstanding.

However, it's like a spring that has been compressed to the limit, compressed again and again, and when it finally rebounds, that's...

Go back inside.

Chen Guiyun looked at his wife with empty hands and asked, "Why, where's breakfast?"

"I didn't buy anything, the vendor ran away, and then I was splashed with feces, and then I almost fell down..."

"You're so grown up, yet you're so careless." Chen Guiyun frowned and covered his nose, "No wonder, why do I say it stinks? What are you standing there for? Why don't you change your clothes and wash up!"

Chen Fengshi did not move, and suddenly asked, "Boss, how much money do you have on you? Take it out and let me see it."

"Why are you asking this?" Chen Guiyun paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "I was just about to tell you that I spent some money yesterday while getting information, and then on the way back, I don't know how my pocket leaked, and the remaining money was lost again..."

"lost?"

Chen Feng suddenly rushed forward, ripped open Chen Guiyun's clothes, looked at the red marks, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me! Tell me more!"

"I, I..." Chen Guiyun still wanted to argue.

Chen Fengshi didn't want to listen anymore: "Chen Guiyun, okay, we're in Changxing City, visiting brothels, right? I'll kill you!"

She picked up a stool and smashed it over his head, then she started to tear at Chen Guiyun's face with her claws and fangs. Because she had the first move, Chen Guiyun was confused and in the wrong, so he reacted a little slowly and didn't dare to fight back, so soon his face was covered in blood.

—— Throwing a tantrum is Chen Fengshi’s specialty. She originally sent her to deal with Sister Guihua, but she never expected that it was not used on Sister Guihua, but on Chen Guiyun instead!

Widow Chen, who was living next door, heard the noise and came over to try to stop the fight, but she got caught up in it and was almost injured by mistake.

Chen Feng was so angry that she pointed at Widow Chen and cursed: "You are also a vixen. You dress up all day long. Who are you trying to seduce?"

Widow Chen was furious. She was not someone who could be easily provoked in Nanping Village. Being slandered like this, she immediately retorted, "What's the matter? Are you afraid that you, a yellow-faced woman, are useless and your husband has been seduced by me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately turned into a big fight.

……

The three-member group of the Chen family, who had lost all their wealth, had a huge internal explosion that morning. After that, bad things happened one after another.

……

Chen Guiyun suddenly felt itchy and sore down there, so she went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with syphilis. Over this, the couple had another big fight.

……

Regarding the lawsuit, Mr. Ma said he wanted to smooth out this today, and that tomorrow. In short, he kept finding excuses to ask for money.

If I don't give it to them, all the previous investment will be wasted and I won't be able to get it back; but if I ask them to give me a guarantee, they won't be able to give it.

Chen, Feng and the other two felt something was not right, so they went to inquire about it and found out that, for a middleman like Mr. Ma, if the matter can be done, he will give you some money and do it for you; if there are things that cannot be done, such as the Chen family's lawsuit, which is almost impossible to win, he will definitely not tell you directly, otherwise you will give up and leave, and how can he make money?

The other party's method is to drag it out, find excuses, and collect money from you one by one until you can't bear it anymore and can't pay, and then you come to your senses. The main goal of the other party is to cheat you as much as possible!

——Of course, this also requires that you treat people differently. Some people are not easy to offend, or not worth it, so they will naturally make it clear and part ways amicably. But if you investigate it thoroughly, can you cheat them? Naturally, they will not be polite to you. Unfortunately, the three people in the old Chen family belong to the latter category.

Chen and Feng had suffered such a big loss, how could they accept it? They threw a tantrum and quarreled, but Mr. Ma was not someone to be trifled with, and in the end, after all the fuss, they did not get a penny back.

……

Recently, because his uncle, cousin and cousin were around, Fang Lin stayed with them for three days and then went to work in Xuan Mo Zhai, and came back in the evening.

This day.

Su Xiaoqing came to Fang's mother to do needlework. In the evening, she got up and prepared to go back. Before leaving, she whispered to Fang Lin: "Linzi, Sister Guihua said that they have been tossed around for a long time, and it's time to finish it."

——After the three people from Old Chen’s family came, in order to avoid suspicion, Sister Guihua has not come to Fang’s house recently.

"Okay!" Fang Lin nodded: "This is the last one, we have to pay more attention to it."

He also knew the situation of the three members of the Chen family. To be honest, they had not taken any chance to make a fortune, nor had they gotten involved in gambling. It was quite surprising that none of them had died until now.

"Sister Guihua has shown some mercy this time. In the end, it all depends on whether they know how to behave!"
