Chapter 1704 Three Parties Discuss
Old Mrs. Fan was very angry about this matter. Jia Heming came to her house several times, and was ridiculed by her every time.
I don't know how much I have suffered from her!
When talking about the prefect, Old Lady Fan wished that Shao Yunduan would be in trouble immediately, and then come to her crying and beg, offering a lot of benefits to the Fan family with both hands.
Only then did she feel relieved.
After listening to what Old Lady Fan said, Master Mei showed some approval and satisfaction, and nodded: "Let's do it."
Old Master Huo smiled and said, "Since you have all made up your mind, I naturally cannot be left behind."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Fan snorted and rolled her eyes at him.
She hated the old man from the Huo family. He was sinister, cunning, and selfish. He never missed out on anything that was good for him, and he would never take less, but he was never willing to take the lead. He always hid behind others and let them take the lead.
But it doesn’t matter. The Fan family has the strength and is not afraid to take the lead!
"Since this has been decided, there is no going back on it. Everyone go back and explain things to your family, relatives and friends."
Let Lord Shao see clearly how to act in Anze Prefecture!
Master Mei and Master Huo both nodded.
Old Madam Fan's heart moved, and she said, "The government still owes us a lot of money. It's a lot including the principal and interest. Tell me, should we ask for it back?"
Upon hearing this, both Old Master Huo and Master Mei's hearts skipped a beat and they secretly said, "How cruel!"
When it comes to being mean, cruel and vindictive, the old lady of the Fan family is second to none.
"Let's take it slow," Master Mei said slowly, "If we push the prefect into a corner, no one knows if he will change. We are all here for money, so there is no need to go that far right now."
Old Master Huo also nodded: "What the eldest nephew of the Mei family said is right. Even rabbits bite when they are angry! Besides, this Lord Shao still has a bit of temper! There is no need to make trouble."
Wouldn't it be good to let the government always owe them money? That way, no matter who becomes the governor, he will owe them a favor.
Anyway, you can't get away with it.
Every family has that little bit of silver, so it's just like depositing it in a bank!
Seeing that these two people were against her, Old Lady Fan was immediately unhappy and sneered, "It is only natural to pay back debts. How can you say that this is a complication? You can owe debts and not pay them back just because you have a temper? What a joke! If you don't want to, forget it, but my Fan family will definitely ask for the money!"
Master Mei didn't say anything else.
Old Master Huo smiled and did not express his opinion.
Old Mrs. Fan became more and more unhappy. The next day, she ordered her two sons to go to the government office to find Lord Shao and get back the 80,000 taels of silver owed to the Fan family.
The two masters of the Fan family were shocked and didn't understand why their mother suddenly brought up this matter.
The two tried to dissuade her, but Mrs. Fan refused to listen. They had no choice but to come up with a compromise, asking the daughter-in-law to go to Mrs. Shao and talk to her about the matter first.
Old Madam Fan thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Well, let's save some face for Lord Shao! If he knows what's good for him, he should return the silver immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for not saving face for the state government!"
It would be embarrassing for a prefecture office to owe money to others and be unable to pay it back.
Shao Yunduan will definitely lose all his official authority.
Who made him represent the prefectural government now?
