Chapter 12 It’s easier to invite a god than to send him

away Shen Chaoyan quickly spoke up to stop them, “Mother, we can’t let them in!”

Shen Linfeng also chimed in, “They don’t look like good people, let’s listen to our sister and don’t let the wolf into the house!”

Cui Ya saw that the two siblings were strongly opposed, and she cried even louder, “Grandma! Why is your life so miserable? You came all the way to the capital to recognize your relatives, but in the end, they looked down on us for being poor, not only beat you up, but also refused to let us in! If anything happens to you today, your granddaughter will crash to death at the gate of the Shen Mansion! Let the common people see how unkind the Shen family is!”

Passersby didn’t know what was going on, but they instinctively sided with the weak ones they thought, and began to point fingers at the Shen family’s mother and son.

"Isn't it said that Lord Shen is a good official who loves the people like his own children? Why is he still bullying others by taking advantage of his power?"

"That's right! Look at how pitiful the grandparents are. The Shen family bullies the common people and they are not afraid of being punished by God!"

"The second son of the Shen family is a useless second-generation ancestor. I think it is probably him who caused the trouble!"

Lu Qiyun didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she lowered her voice and said, "Feng'er, go get the doctor! We can't send them away today no matter what. If you don't like them, we will send them away when the old lady recovers."

Shen Chaoyan looked at Hu who was carried into the gate of the Shen Mansion by the servants, and shook his head helplessly.

My naive mother!

It's easier to invite gods than to send them away.

You kindly took them in for a while, but then they planned how to rely on the Shen Mansion for the rest of their lives.

[Book of Heaven, is there anything I don't know about the ancestors of the Hu family?]

Book of Heaven: [Yes, on the way Cui Ya escaped from marriage, Hu Shi instigated her to abort Tie Zhu's baby. Tie Zhu's family has not caught anyone for so long, and has reported to the police! Tie Zhu's father even said that if Cui Ya doesn't enter his house, they will dare to dig up Cui Ya's ancestral tomb!]

[In addition, the marriage law of Da Xia stipulates that those who have reported the marriage certificate to the promised daughter and have a private agreement, but regret it, will be caned 60 times. Although there is no marriage certificate, the betrothal property is also included.]

Therefore, Cui Ya accepted the silver and ate pork and eggs, and then escaped from marriage, which is already an illegal act.

Very good!

Isn't Hu Shi very good at making trouble?

Tie Zhu's family is so tough, she can invite Tie Zhu's family to Beijing for a day trip.

Use magic to defeat magic!

Shen Chaoyan knew Hu's character, so she ordered the servants to clear out the junk bed next to the wood room and lift Hu onto the wooden bed inside.

Shen Chaoyan ordered the servants to keep an eye on the grandparents before leaving with Lu Qiyun.

"Mother, these two are shameless and love to beg for money. They eat and drink for free everywhere. Send them away in two days."

Lu Qiyun was just afraid that the situation would be ugly and that bad rumors would spread, affecting the reputation of the Shen family.

She didn't mean to keep Hu and the others for a long time.

But Hu was her mother-in-law's biological sister after all, and she couldn't just watch her faint to death at the door of the Shen Mansion.

"Okay, when they wake up, mother will arrange for them to leave."

However, things didn't go as smoothly as she thought.

After Hu pretended to be sick and lived in the Shen Mansion, she found that the Shen Mansion was much richer than she had imagined.

There were pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted rafters, and many strange things that she couldn't name.

The servants here were dressed much more decently than Tiezhu's family. As long as they stayed in the Shen Mansion, they would be able to enjoy this overwhelming wealth in the future.

"Cui Ya, how is it? What is Feng'er's impression of you?"

Hu lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun comfortably.

She was determined to marry her granddaughter to Shen Linfeng. When Cui Ya became the young lady, she would be the old lady of the Shen Mansion, and the whole family would have to obey her.

Cui Ya shook her head and complained, "Whenever I leave the room, someone will stare at me. How can I have the chance to see that fat guy?"

She looked down on Shen Linfeng in her heart. He was fat and ugly. If she went to bed with him, she would be crushed to death!

However, as long as she could marry Shen Linfeng, she would be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future, lying in bed every day waiting for people to serve her.

She was very conflicted now. She didn't want to leave the Shen Mansion, but she was unwilling to marry Shen Linfeng. "Grandmother, I heard that the Shen family has an eldest son who is very handsome. Can I marry the eldest son of Shen?"

"I've inquired about it. The eldest son of Shen is still fighting at the border. It's hard to say whether he can come back alive! If he dies on the battlefield, all the Shen family's assets will belong to the second son. The second son of Shen is indeed ugly, but he is the future heir of the Shen Mansion! If you marry him, the Shen Mansion will be under our control in the future! It was that dead girl's idea to send people to keep an eye on you. If you don't find a way to make it a done deal, you

can just wait to marry that cripple Tiezhu!" If Cui Ya was caught and brought back to the village now, the village chief's family would beat her to death.

Living in the Shen Mansion, food is served and clothes are provided for you. Even a fool would know what to choose.

"Grandma, I listen to you! When I marry Shen Er, I will also make clothes with soft silk! I will also make a hairpin exactly like Shen Chaoyan's. No, no! My hairpin must have more pearls than hers!" "

When you become the young lady of the Shen family, you can sleep with mountains of gold and silver in your arms every day. What are a few pearls?"

"When I become the head of the household in the future, I will select ten smart maids to serve grandma. One will give you a back massage, one will wash your clothes, one will cook for you, and there will be someone to empty your toilet!"

Mrs. Hu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Okay, okay! You are still the most filial and thoughtful!"

Cui Ya frowned. "But, I haven't even seen Shen Er's figure, and I don't know when I can let grandma live such a good life!"

Mrs. Hu didn't want to wait in vain. "Leave this matter to grandma. I will talk to my niece-in-law who is not worldly-wise. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are so capable, and it is a blessing for him to marry Feng Ge'er!"

Lu Qiyun and Shen Chaoyan came to the door of the utility room and happened to hear Mrs. Hu's solemn words.

"Mother, did you hear that? This old hag is so ambitious that she wants to be the mistress of the house!"

Lu Qiyun didn't look down on the farmers' ideas, but in her mind, marriage should be as equal as possible.

Although Shen Linfeng is not a good person, he should at least marry a virtuous and educated girl, otherwise there will be no peace in the house.

"Mother, I know what I am doing. I will send them away today."

After the mother and daughter finished their whisper, Lu Qiyun quickened her pace and walked to the rocking chair, "Aunt, are you feeling better? Do you want the doctor to make you some more medicine?"

Hu was pretending to be sick, so Shen Chaoyan deliberately asked the doctor to prescribe the bitterest medicine, and every time the medicine was made, she would send a maid to watch her drink it all.

Just thinking about the black medicine, Mrs. Hu felt bitter at the root of her tongue, and she waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I'm an old lady with a strong body, I'm all right now!"

"My husband asked about your condition before he went to court today. Now that you're well, we can rest assured that Cui Ya will take care of us on the way back."

Lu Qiyun said, handing the bundle in her hand to Mrs. Hu, "Aunt, here are some clean clothes and twenty taels of silver, which you can use as silver."

If it were in the past, Mrs. Hu would have definitely run away from the Shen family when she heard about twenty taels of silver.

But now she is no longer the same person she used to be.

She saw the world in the Shen family, especially when she heard that Shen Qingyuan's annual salary was more than she could earn in her eighty years, she became more determined to stay in the Shen family.

At this moment, after hearing what she said, the smile on Mrs. Hu's face froze on the spot.

This bastard, who was enjoying the splendor and wealth brought to her by her nephew, actually wanted to send them away with a mere twenty taels of silver!

To fulfill her dream!

To drive them away from the Shen family?

Impossible!

Not in this lifetime!
