Mr. Zhuang worked quickly and sold Ji Guansen and Gao Zhiyi's shop in three days.
Because the shop has a complete range of items, they can be sold at a good price.
Ji Guansen's shop sold 500 taels of silver, but Gao Zhiyi's shop sold 600 taels of silver because the shop had a complete range of goods.
After selling the shop, I will go to the capital.
The Chinese New Year is only three days away, and they won’t be able to celebrate it with their wives and children.
"Village Chief, my family and I are all going to the capital. Unless something unexpected happens, we won't be back. So, my parents and I have discussed giving our house to the village so that those in need can temporarily stay."
Ji Guansen went to the village chief's house and said to him.
"Thank you for your generosity. I thank you on behalf of the entire village. Don't worry, I will make this house a village property and give it to any villager who needs a place to live."
The village chief said gratefully.
Although it was a thatched house and not worth much, the village was full of thatched houses and I had just escaped here, so where would I get the money to build a blue brick and tile house?
Huojia Village had a princess who led the whole village to prosperity and lived in blue brick and tile houses. I wonder how many people envied them.
The Ji family gave away the house, leaving themselves no way out and they will never return to Leshan Village.
But then again, with a princess as a relative, why would he return to this place?
"I'll follow the village chief's arrangements. I'll be back soon and leave tomorrow. You can come get the key tomorrow."
Ji Guansen said to the village chief.
I just got the banknote today and don’t have time to go to the capital. I will go to Huojia Village to find Luo Mingkuan early tomorrow morning and go to the capital together.
After talking to the village chief, Ji Guansen went home to pack his luggage and prepare to go to the capital.
After Ji Guansen left, the village chief's wife said, "The Ji family is so lucky to have married a cousin of Princess Xiangyun, who has brought them great success and a life of luxury."
The village head's wife's eyes were full of envy.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.
"Not everyone has this fate. Look at the Luo family. Luo Mingkuan came back personally to sever ties with his parents. Even though he gave them a shop as compensation, it's still a cause for regret."
When the village chief talked about the Luo family, his eyes were full of disgust.
"With Kong Meixue in the Luo family, it's impossible to expect a peaceful home and a prosperous career. So, listen to me, everyone. If anyone dares to imitate Kong Meixue and cause unrest in the family, don't blame me for kicking her out."
The village head's wife scolded her three daughters-in-law.
Among the three daughters-in-law, there is nothing wrong with them, except that the third daughter-in-law is young and has some bad habits, as she loves to support her parents' home.
"Yes, mother-in-law. We won't. We will definitely stay in our place and take care of our husbands and children."
The three daughters-in-law quickly expressed their opinions.
Here, they have lost contact with their natal families. If they are divorced and kicked out by their husbands, they will be left with no hope and no hope at all.
The third daughter-in-law was startled. She had just been thinking of currying favor with Kong Meixue and trying to get some benefits from her.
They said the shop was to compensate the two elders, but it was Ji Minghu and Kong Meixue who had the final say.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she had to give up the idea. After all, she was divorced and kicked out of her husband's house. She had no one to take her in, so she had to sleep on the streets, living in the open air and becoming a beggar.
Soon, the women of Leshan Village spread the story of the Ji family following Princess Xiangyun to the capital to do big business, enjoy a luxurious life, and rise to prominence. The villagers were envious and jealous, especially the young unmarried girls. After being teased by Cai Jiao, they no longer dared to visit her and could only curse her in their hearts as an old woman and a pious old woman.
Another version of the story in the village claims that the Luo family's second daughter-in-law was a mischievous woman who broke up the family. She could have enjoyed a life of luxury in the capital, with a plethora of maids to serve her. It's also said that Princess Xiangyun bought shops, courtyards, and servants for her two cousins, becoming a truly wealthy lady, wearing gold and silver jewelry and feasting on delicacies from land and sea.
The women in Leshan Village spread more and more exaggerated stories, saying that Kong Meixue was stupid and that she wanted to kill herself instead of having such a good life.
Others said that Luo Mingkuan was not kind. He had so much money but only gave it to a shop. He was really an ungrateful person.
Others encouraged Kong Meixue to go to Luo Mingkuan and make trouble, asking him to give her another yard and several hundred taels of silver.
Kong Meixue was tempted, so she went back and persuaded Luo Minghu to find Luo Hu and Wang Yumei, asking them to come forward to ask for more money and a yard. However, Luo Hu and Wang Yumei angrily scolded her, saying that if she continued to cause trouble, they would ask their son to divorce her and kick her out of the Luo family.
Kong Meixue wasn't afraid of these two elders. She knew Luo Minghu's character perfectly. His words to her were like imperial decrees, and she had him firmly in her control. It would be strange if he dared to divorce her.
Since the two elders couldn't convince her, she instigated Luo Minghu to follow her to Huozong Village to cause trouble.
Who is Huojia Village? Princess Xiangyun is from Huojia Village. They will make you make a big fuss at the entrance of the village and make the villagers a laughing stock.
The village head immediately went to find Magistrate Zhang. Magistrate Zhang was furious after hearing what he heard and immediately went to Huojia Village with the constable and the letter of severance of the marriage.
When Luo Minghu and Kong Meixue saw the constable, they trembled all over, felt panicky, and thought to themselves that something was wrong.
Luo Minghu thought that Luo Mingkuan would not report the case because they were brothers.
My eldest brother is kindhearted and won't make things difficult for his parents. He took advantage of this fact and dared to come here and make trouble so brazenly.
But he forgot that this is Huojia Village, not Luojia Village, and the village head will not tolerate his misconduct.
