"How can I come up with so much money now? And how can I just leave the family with nothing after the family division? I don't agree with this! At worst, I can file a complaint with the government and see what the judge says!"
"This..." Upon hearing that the matter would be reported to the government, the village chief immediately looked at Chen Shuilian in embarrassment.
Although they were right if the matter was brought to the government office, the county magistrate might have a bad impression of their village...
And you can't push people too far.
When a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall, let alone a human. Who knows what he will do under impulse.
Chen Shuilian was not afraid of Zhao Jiagu. She pinched her waist and yelled, "Go if you want. Otherwise, let's go to the county government office now and let the judge take a look at you, an unfilial son!!!"
Despite her aggressiveness, Zhao Jiagu actually stopped himself.
Even if he were asked to go to the county government office, he wouldn't dare to go...
The ordinary people's fear of the county government is innate.
But he couldn't just leave like that. Even if he left, he had to fight for himself.
Zhao Jiagu tried to remain calm and negotiate terms with Chen Shuilian.
"Well, you can split up the family, but these ten taels of silver must be used as my separation fee. As for the rest, I don't want anything."
"You're just dreaming. Don't you think you're worth the ten taels of silver? I can't give you the silver, let alone the other things in the house!"
Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the village chief tried to mediate.
"I think... you both need to take a step back. Jiagu, you see, ten taels of silver is not a small amount. Your mother sold all the land in the family to raise this much money for you. If you take it all, how will they live in the future? And Shuilian, the same goes for you. Since you took the initiative to divide the family, you can't just give up everything. You have to offer some bargaining chips that the other party can agree to."
He took a deep breath and said, "How about this, each of us gets half, five taels of silver each, this way no one will have any complaints."
Zhao Jiagu pursed his lips, not very willing.
This is five taels less in a flash...
Liu Hong could see his reluctance and was afraid that he would regret marrying her.
Then he turned his eyes and whispered in Zhao Jiagu's ear: "Why don't we do what the village chief said, so that we don't end up fighting to the death and get nothing. After all, we are not in the right. Anyway, when you marry me, what's mine is yours. You don't need to care about the five taels of silver. If you don't have the five taels of silver now, I can take it out and pay it back to them for you."
When Zhao Jiagu heard this, his mind got excited again. Yes, Liu Hong is rich.
Now there is no one left in the Liu family, and all the property belongs to her alone.
The fact that she can say such words now shows that she is completely devoted to him. Then all the money from now on will be his, so why should he care about it now?
Zhao Jiagu once again had a plan in his mind, which made him feel more and more that his choice was the right one.
He patted the back of Liu Hong's hand and said, "Don't rush to take it. Let's talk about this later. I'll see if I can delay it for a while."
He didn't want to take out the money so easily, what if his mother changed her mind after a while!
That way he wouldn't have to take the silver.
Yes, Zhao Jiagu still doesn't believe that Chen Shuilian would treat him like this.
Whether this is knowingly deceiving oneself or not is unknown.
