Scumbag Training Manual

Chapter 23
Lu's exclaimed: "3000 taels? Is he trying to blackmail?"

Chen Miao turned pale, once the 3000 taels of silver were paid out, I was afraid that the situation of this family would be reduced to the same as that of the original Chen family.

I really didn't expect that in just over a month, the originally wealthy Pei family would become like this.

Covering her face, Lu burst into tears. While crying, she scolded Pei Jing who didn't live up to her expectations. If she didn't show up all day and night, where did she die?

Suddenly, he became fussy again, afraid that Pei Jing would be hurt by others outside, and even more afraid that Pei Jing would be arrested by the government officials if he was not careful, and he would suffer in that prison.

Pei Songde was disturbed by her quarrel, Chen Miao whispered to him: "Father, maybe Pei Jing hid because of fear, or you can go to the house of his acquainted friend or the place he often goes to. Take a look, maybe you will find it. Now is a special time, don't let him run around outside."

Pei Songde had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll look for it again, you watch your mother at home, don't let her think about it anymore."

Chen Miao agreed, and Pei Songde ordered a few servants to go out to look for Pei Jing together.

Until [-]:[-] in the afternoon, when Pei Xin and Chen Ling came back from school, they were speechless when they heard that such an accident had happened at home.

Chen Ling blinked her big eyes, looked at Chen Miao eagerly, bit her red lips and did not make a sound.

Chen Miao sighed, hugged him in her arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, there will always be a way."

Pei Xin was stunned for a while, then threw the bookbag on the ground viciously, and said in a nasty voice, "I knew a long time ago that sooner or later he would drag this family down!"

Lu said angrily: "Xin'er! He is your elder brother, how can you say that about your elder brother?"

Pei Xin yelled: "I don't have such an incompetent brother! When I was in school, everyone laughed at me for having a brother who is a libertine. I feel very ashamed!"

Lu Shi was furious, and without thinking about it, he waved his hand up, and with a "slap", a red slap appeared on Pei Xin's face.

Pei Xin blushed, and tears filled her eyes, but she tried her best not to shed them.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mother! I'm your son too! I'm studying hard just to prove to you that you don't have only one son named Pei Jing! Mother, I'm also very good! You also look at me May I have a moment?"

Tears could no longer be held back, Pei Xin wiped them off with a wave of his sleeves, lowered his head to pick up the book bag from the ground, and walked towards his room without looking back.

Mrs. Lu seemed to be stunned by his words, unable to speak for a long time.

After a while, she turned her head to look at Chen Miao in a daze, and said in a daze, "Miao'er, what's wrong with Xin'er?"

Chen Miao sighed silently, it must be that the Lu family doted on the eldest son too much, and the youngest was a girl, so she was too spoiled, so she neglected the second son at birth.

Boys of this age are also extremely sensitive in mind, and now there is a grievance in their hearts, if they are not carefully taught, I am afraid that this thought will only become a stubborn disease if it is suppressed for a long time.

It's just that at this moment, no one has the extra thought to care about this young man's fragility, because after a while, when Pei Songde came back, he still shook his head and couldn't find Pei Jing.

I even went to several acquaintances' houses, including my best friend Zhong Qinwen's, but I couldn't find them.

Instead, from Zhong Qinwen's place, Pei Songde got the news that Pei Jing went to the Shunyi gambling house last night, and Zhong Qinwen dragged him to go with him.

It's just that Zhong Qinwen left halfway, and he doesn't know what happened next.

When he heard that Pei Jing had lost all the property in his family, Zhong Qinwen was shocked from ear to ear.

Why did this happen just after I left?

Zhong Qinwen accompanied Pei Songde to look for Pei Jing everywhere, but he couldn't find him, and he didn't leave until it was completely dark.

Pei Songde ran around for a day, spent money, but had no effect at all. After this day, he almost didn't get any water.

Chen Miao hurriedly organized the servants to prepare meals and tea, and let Pei Songde eat the meal first.

Pei Songde didn't have much appetite, so he pushed the bowl aside after eating more than half of it.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "I've made up my mind. I'll go to County Magistrate Cao tomorrow morning and ask him to take off the arrest warrant for Jing'er first. Let's talk about the future!"

Lu asked blankly: "How can we have so much silver for 3000 taels?"

Pei Songde said in a deep voice: "I can't tell. I'm afraid that this house will not be able to be kept. If we throw away more than 1000 taels of cash at home, and then sell this house, we should be able to save some money. Let's change to a smaller house and start over again." Come here. Anyway, there is still a small shop, and we will never die of hunger. However, these servants and maidservants at home cannot be kept.”

Lu's reluctantly looked at the house that he had lived in for more than ten years, and sighed sadly.

Chen Miao's heart was empty. She originally thought that she could start over in a different environment, but she never expected that she would experience those nightmare scenes all over again.

The last time it was the Chen family, but this time it was the Pei family.

I just hope that the Pei family will never be like the Chen family again, in addition to the destruction of the family, there will be death
Chen Miao looked at the Pei couple with their faces full of pain, and secretly made up her mind to stay by their side no matter what.

If Pei Jing can't do this, let her replace Pei Jing and take good care of this family!
Just take it as a repayment for Dad Pei's kindness to her siblings.

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Songde went out to the government office, and when he came back at noon, he began to send the servants and maidservants away.

Because the Pei family is not a wealthy family, those who serve as slaves and handmaids here are all living deeds and have no family to have children.

After counting the money, everyone left one by one.

Nanny Chen has served Mrs. Lu for nearly 20 years. Now that she has no relatives at home, she voluntarily stays to take care of Mrs. Lu, even if she doesn't need wages, as long as she has something to eat.

Lu Shi has also been with her for many years, but he really felt sorry for her having no relatives to rely on, so he stayed.

Juan'er also refused to leave, saying that even if she left, her family would sell her again, and now that she was old, if she went back this time, she would be sold to others as a concubine by her family.Instead of this, it's better to stay, even if it's to take care of the young lady and the young mistress to comb her hair and dress, it's good.

Seeing her sincere expression, Chen Miao couldn't force it, not to mention that this big family, old and young, if they really sent everyone away, they might be too busy.

So Juan'er also stayed.

The servants were all sent away, and Pei Songde found another middleman to sell the house.The location of the Pei family's house is very good, so in less than half a day, several people came to see the house.

In the end, the house was given to a businessman surnamed Wang at a price of 500 taels of silver.

The businessman surnamed Wang didn't make things too difficult for them, and gave them three days to find and move a house.

Just when everyone was tidying up the house with desolate expressions, they only heard a loud "bang" from outside the gate.

Everyone was in the front hall at this time, and they turned their heads to look, only to see a person rolling in from the door, ragged, unkempt, haggard and no longer human.

Even so, everyone clearly recognized this person, it was the person who had been missing for nearly three days, Pei Jing.
