Chapter 109: Working like a slave for the old Cen family
After taking the silver, Cen Fang restored her mother-daughter relationship with Old Lady Cen, and naturally stayed at Old Lady Cen's house at night.
It was not until the evening of the next day that she finally left Lao Cen's house with her husband and two children.
However, before leaving, in addition to taking away large and small bags of food and daily necessities from her mother's home, Old Lady Cen also secretly took five taels of silver and put it in her hand.
This scene did not escape the eyes of other members of the Lao Cen family.
But everyone had already gotten used to Old Lady Cen's special care for Cen Fang, so they just pretended they saw nothing. If they really made a fuss about it, they would only be bored and get scolded by Old Lady Cen.
But Yu's face was full of disappointment from beginning to end.
I thought that this time I could use my sister-in-law to severely suppress the eldest wife...
However, she still underestimated the extent to which the two old guys in the family were partial to Cen Han.
I'm afraid there is no limit to the amount of indulgence these two have towards Cen Han.
Perhaps no matter what abominable things Cen Han does, they will be infinitely tolerant.
This made Yu feel a little desperate.
Doesn’t that mean that the third branch will never have a chance to make a breakthrough in the Cen family?
As soon as Cen Fang left, Old Lady Cen turned around and stared at Cen Yan.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Cen Yan looked at her with a smile and asked.
"That bracelet..." When Old Mrs. Cen saw her eldest granddaughter's smile, she felt very annoyed and frowned, wanting to say something.
"The bracelet is mine, grandma, you won't go back on your word, will you? If the things that have been sold can be recovered, then I wonder who will dare to deal with our family once the reputation of the old Cen family gets out!" Cen Yan threatened.
What she meant was that if Old Lady Cen dared to ask for the bracelet back, she would immediately go out and spread the word that the Cen family was not trustworthy in business.
What Old Man Cen cares most about is his reputation.
To say that the Cen family is not trustworthy means that he himself is not trustworthy.
"Old woman, why are you making a fuss? Since the bracelet has been given to Cen Yan, forget it!" Old Man Cen immediately frowned and looked at Old Lady Cen.
"Humph! When did I say I wanted to get the bracelet back? I, I was just asking! I wanted to tell her not to lose the bracelet!" Old Mrs. Cen said this, but she seemed to be trying to cover up her mistake.
"You don't need to worry about this, grandma. I will definitely sell this bracelet as soon as possible and save money to cancel the engagement." Cen Yan said with a smile.
"It's your bracelet anyway, you can do whatever you want with it!" After saying this, Old Lady Cen turned around and went into the house.
Old Man Cen glanced at Cen Yan and turned back into the house.
Afterwards, each family went back to their rooms.
"Why did you speak for that damn girl just now? I really get angry whenever I see her. Tell me, if she hadn't been so nosy yesterday, how could Xiaofang's fake pregnancy have been exposed? Do you think she did it on purpose?" Old Mrs. Cen had just sat down, and when she saw Old Man Cen coming over, she complained to him in a bad mood.
"It's hard to say." Old Man Cen frowned.
This girl Cen Yan is getting more and more powerful.
In the past, we always went straight.
But this time, it was a roundabout way.
There was not a single word in that sentence saying that Xiaofang was faking her pregnancy, but the meaning of that sentence was enough to make everyone think of this...
This is the most amazing thing!
"This damn girl, if you just endure for two more months, she will get married quickly, and then our family can live in peace." Old Mrs. Cen leaned back on the backrest and breathed a sigh of relief.
In response, Old Man Cen said nothing more.
At this moment, in the second room, Cen Dahai's face looked extremely ugly since he entered the room.
"Dad, you should have seen clearly what kind of person my eldest aunt is from yesterday. There is no one in this family worthy of your stay. Don't you agree to divide the family?" Cen Yan looked at him and said.
"Xiaoyan..." Cen Dahai looked ashamed.
From how the eldest sister refused to even look at Cen Yan yesterday when she saw her, to her subsequent shameless greed, Cen Dahai's bottom line was really pushed to the limit.
However, this doesn't seem to be surprising.
Because hasn’t the Cen family always been like this?
He had always had fantasies in the past, but this time, his fantasies were completely shattered.
It may be that there is something wrong with his memory about Cen Fang taking care of him when he was a child, or it may be that people change.
Or maybe, he never really understood what kind of person she was, and just treated her as his imaginary older sister.
"Brother Dahai, are you still unwilling to split up? I really don't understand why you are so stubborn! This family is so suffocating that it makes people feel suffocated if they stay a little longer!"
Mrs. Li also spoke up, with a bit of complaint in her tone, "I've said it before, if you really can't bear to leave this family, then I'll divorce you! I'll take Xiao Yang and Yan'er away by myself! You can continue to live here and love the whole family of Old Cen! Anyway, you only have your parents and brothers and sisters in your eyes, and you don't care about the three of us at all!"
By the end of her speech, she was already crying.
Cen Yan quickly grabbed her hand, and seeing Cen Dahai's flustered look, she immediately said, "I'm willing to follow my mother!"
"I am willing to do so too!" Although Cen Yan didn't quite understand what her elder sister said, she immediately echoed her elder sister when she heard her.
The mother and her two sons stared at Cen Dahai with a fierce look.
It seemed that if Cen Dahai refused to express his position again, they would immediately pack up and run away from home, abandoning him!
Under such an attack, and because Cen Dahai had completely lost all illusions about the old Cen family, he could only sigh and said with shame and guilt: "It's not that I don't want to split up the family, but over the years, I haven't saved a penny. Even if we split up the family, where will we live? What will we eat? These are not things that can be solved by just saying 'split up the family'."
"Dad, you just like to keep everything in your heart and refuse to say it out. Do you think your daughter is just asking for a separation because she is hot-headed? I have already considered all the things you are worried about." Seeing that he finally gave in, Cen Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right. Xiaoyan is the one who will do whatever she is told. Unlike you, you just work like a slave for the old Cen family!" Li couldn't help but complain to him again.
"I, I know I was wrong, but..." Cen Dahai felt a little ashamed.
"Dad, don't worry about the money. I'm trying to find a way to solve it." Cen Yan comforted him.
"You are still a child, what can you do?" Cen Dahai was a little unconvinced.
As he was speaking, he frowned, thinking of something, "Don't think of taking that jade bracelet directly to the county town to sell it. It would be fine if it's worthless, but seeing that your aunt wanted this bracelet so much before, I suspect that this bracelet may be worth more than just a dozen taels. Han Ge'er is studying in the county town, and he has always been a money-sucker. He can't have a lot of money on hand to buy such an expensive bracelet for your aunt..."
As soon as Cen Yan heard it, he understood what Cen Dahai meant.
