Chapter 78: Money-Greedy Ghost

In addition, this is also done to appease the second wife.

Otherwise, the second wife will be dissatisfied and may rebel in the future.

Old Man Cen thought it was worth spending ten taels of silver to ensure the second wife's well-being and family harmony.

Old Man Cen spoke, but Old Lady Cen naturally didn't want to agree.

"Two taels at most! Last time I already took out five taels of silver to treat the second brother's injury. This time you have to take out another five taels... I can't take it out!"

"If grandma can't take it out, that's fine." Cen Yan immediately walked up to old lady Cen and picked up a cloth bag on the ground. "This wild pheasant was originally given to me by Brother Ji as a reward for me saving his life. My father just happened to need a big boost, so I won't kill the chickens at home, I'll kill this chicken first - but this chicken can only be eaten by my father, the other families have no share. If you really want to eat it, you can pay for it at the market price."

"You, put it down! That chicken is mine!" When Old Mrs. Cen saw her picking up the chicken, she jumped up in anxiety and wanted to rush over to snatch it.

"Cen Yan, don't go too far!" Cen Ying was dissatisfied when he saw that there was such a big fat chicken and he had to pay for it even though he wanted to eat it.

But even if both of them tried to grab the chicken, they couldn't take it away from Cen Yan.

One of these two is old and the other is lazy. In terms of speed and flexibility, who can be Cen Yan's opponent?

The two of them rushed for a long time but couldn't even touch a chicken feather. They were really angry and anxious.

"Grandpa, you are still the head of the family. Just tell me something honest that you can do. Grandma never listens to what you say, which means you are not trustworthy. If this goes on, what deterrent power will you have in this family? I'm afraid no one will be willing to listen to you in the future!" Cen Yan looked at Old Man Cen who was watching all this coldly, and forced him to express his opinion.

Old Man Cen was instantly enraged by her words.

But the next moment, he calmed down in time.

His eyes became even colder as he stared at Cen Yan.

This girl is now very clever with her words. She can fool people with just a few words and make them fall into the trap she sets.

However, he had to do as she said and express his opinion quickly.

"Old woman, stop messing around! Give this chicken to Cen Yan, so that the second son can have a good body! Only when he is completely well can the work in the fields be done faster! Didn't you see that the eldest and the third son have been so tired that they are complaining about back pain these days? In addition, go get another two taels of silver, and let Yu pay out five taels of silver! Now! Hurry up! Don't make me rush you again!" Old Man Cen spoke again.

This time his tone was so stern that Old Lady Cen dared not refute anything.

Old Mrs. Cen could only stare at the cloth bag in Cen Yan's hand with pain, glared at her hatefully, then turned and went into the house.

She took out two taels of silver and threw it at Cen Yan with almost all her strength.

Cen Yan didn't care and took the silver and put it away.

"Grandma, there's also Third Aunt's place." Seeing that she was standing there and refused to move, staring at the cloth bag in her hand, Cen Yan reminded her.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Why are you urging me? Didn't I say I won't go?" Old Mrs. Cen glared at her fiercely again, turned around and went into the third room.

Soon, Yu's exclamation of disbelief and Old Lady Cen's cursing voice were heard from the third room.

After a while, Old Lady Cen came out with another five taels of silver and threw them at Cen Yan.

"Take it! You greedy ghost! You are the most greedy person in the family! You even don't let your own family members go!" Old Mrs. Cen scolded Cen Yan twice and walked into the house without worrying about it.

Old Man Cen gave a warning look and went into the house.

"Cen Yan, are you satisfied now? Look how mad you made your grandparents!" Cen Ying said in a weird tone while standing there.

"I still don't know how much silver Third Aunt spent to bribe my aunt in order to make her lie that the fruits she bought from the market were the ones she ate at my place?" Cen Yan looked at Cen Ying with a smile.

"What do you mean? Even if my third sister-in-law gave me something, it only shows that we have a good relationship!" Cen Ying raised her eyebrows.

"Is it so good that I personally gave Cen Shuang a big bowl of saffron? If Cen Shuang's body is damaged by this and she can't get pregnant, tell me, will Third Aunt and Third Uncle resent you?" Cen Yan kept smiling.

"You! What nonsense are you talking about! I don't understand!" Cen Ying's pupils shrank.

"My aunt was just pretending not to understand. I just realized today that my aunt is the smartest person in this family." Cen Yan looked at her meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Cen Ying looked at her suddenly, but just bit her lip and turned away without saying a word.

The yard had been bustling for most of the day, and only now did it finally become quiet.

Cen Yan looked at the chicken in his left hand and the seven taels of silver in his right hand, and a bitter sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She had been making such a fuss for such a long time, and had been bearing the blame for such a long time, but in the end, all she got when she wanted justice was this!

But it doesn't matter.

She should get what she deserves back, little by little!

Cen Yan carried the chicken into his room, threw the pheasant into the space, and planned to deal with it later.

This chicken must not be processed in Lao Cen’s kitchen.

If it really appears in the kitchen, not a single chicken feather will be left!

She did not go out to see Cen Dahai immediately, but sat in her room thinking about things.

After considering for a long time, she still felt that now was the best time to ask the old Cen family to cancel the engagement with Wei Zan, because Cen Shuang was still passionate.

But at the same time, she was very aware that the Cen family might not agree to this.

When Wei Zan got engaged to her, there was no way the Cen family would have given her the twenty-odd taels of silver!

The biggest obstacles are money and Wei Zan's attitude.

The more Cen Yan thought about it, the more headache he got.

If it were someone else, and he exposed the other party's scandal of having an affair with his cousin, the marriage might easily be ruined.

But this person happened to be Wei Zan.

His face is as thick as a dog-skin plaster!

Moreover, Wei Zan is very capable in doing things without any mistakes.

Who knows whether he made any substantive promises when he tricked Cen Shuang into secretly putting saffron in his food?

What if he didn't say anything to Cen Shuang? Even if I go find him, he won't admit it!

While Cen Yan was having a headache here, Li suddenly started quarreling with Cen Dahai.

When Cen Yan heard the noise, she hurried out of the room and saw Cen Yang standing at the door with a frightened look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Cen Yan quickly hugged Cen Yang in her arms.

"Mom is arguing with Dad. She wants to divide the family, but Dad doesn't agree...he just said it's not the right time yet." Cen Yang said.

This was the first time in his life that he saw his parents quarreling.

At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his big eyes, "Sister, how can mother be so fierce? Will she beat me?"
