Chapter 1278 Compensation
"He just said that, but it was my brother who did it. Even if you go to him, it's not right."
He also wanted to say, Brother, you are such an old man, don't you know how to judge what to do and what not to do? He does it just because someone tells him to? Does he have no brains?
You deserve to be cheated.
However, he was deceived and his whole family was harmed by him.
Four hundred thousand taels of silver, plus the ten thousand taels his mother paid, plus an apology, he couldn't think about it anymore. If he thought about it any further, his chest would hurt!
Qin was still unconvinced and cursed angrily, but because she had also been scolded and kicked by the master in this matter, she did not dare to cause any more trouble and could only curse "Just wait and see!" countless times.
Zhao Zhai glanced at her and Zhao Ye, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He didn't blame Brother Lin. Brother Lin had always been on good terms with him, so how could he possibly cheat him? He didn't even know that this kind of thing couldn't be done, so how could Brother Lin know?
Brother Lin just meant well but did a bad thing, how can you blame him?
What he didn't know was that not long after, his brother Lin happily moved away with his wife and children and a large sum of money, returning to his hometown Zhenjiang.
Zhao Mu only paid a fine of 300,000 taels to the government, and was unwilling to pay the entire 100,000 taels as compensation to the Shao family. He only paid 20,000 taels, leaving the remaining 80,000 for Zhao Zhai to pay himself.
Zheng Qing is so despicable. He took advantage of the power of others and actually sent people to remind them to pay compensation and apologize quickly!
This kind of thing really cannot be delayed, otherwise it will only lead to more trouble.
Where did Zhao Zhai get 80,000 silver coins?
But he didn't dare to ask his biological father, so he had no choice but to ask his biological mother.
When Qin heard that he wanted 80,000 silver coins, she began to tremble with pain again.
This is all money!
"What a wicked man! Why don't they just go and rob them of the 100,000 taels? If they don't give it to him, what can he do?"
Zhao Ye was so tired, "Mom, the Shao family is not an easy family to talk to, not to mention Zhao Shu and Zheng Qing are stirring up trouble. If we don't give them the money, they will be more than happy to do so. They will have another excuse to cause trouble at the government office! Then..."
The prefect must be really dissatisfied with their family now. This is also his judgment. If the Zhao family refuses to compensate and apologize, it is equivalent to not accepting his judgment. Will the prefect be happy?
Qin was so choked up that she couldn't speak. She cursed angrily, "This Shao family is so despicable! And that bastard Zhao Shu, who colluded with the Shao family and harmed his own father, he really deserves to be struck by lightning!"
Zhao Ye was too lazy to correct his mother. Zhao Shu was no longer his father's son.
Qin could only take the silver reluctantly.
But even though she had been in charge of the household for several years, the public accounts were managed by the housekeeper and the accountant, and Zhao Mu would review them every three months. It was true that she could make a lot of private money from the public funds, but that was all saved up bit by bit, like 10, 20, 30 or 50 taels.
During the annual energy festival, you can save a little more, and three to five hundred is the most you can spend at a time.
After accumulating money over the years, plus the money he asked Zhao Mu for, his cash amounted to only about 20,000 yuan.
It cost ten thousand taels to redeem Zhao Zhai from the prison. Now there is only a little more than ten thousand taels left, which is still a long way from eighty thousand taels!
She also didn't dare to ask the master for help at this moment, so she had to choose to sell her things.
Now that she has been deprived of her housekeeper rights, there is no way she can move the things in the warehouse, so she can only think of other ways.
