Chapter 84: Crazy about Money
"With your help, I believe everything will go smoothly for me." Hearing this, Cen Yan smiled at him.
But then, she changed the subject, with a cunning light in her eyes, "But, don't you even ask me where a country girl like me got these resources from?"
"Then are you willing to tell me? I'm not curious about these things."
Ji Yunzhan answered her frankly, his tone was not false at all, "I said it last time, if you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen, if you don't want to talk, I will never ask."
"Ji Yunzhan, if that day comes, I will tell you everything." Cen Yan also responded very seriously.
Despite these words, they have said them.
But it seems that this time, they trust each other more and are more open and honest.
The two did not stay here for too long.
After everything was settled, Ji Yunzhan sent Cen Yan out of the forbidden forest and went to the county town with the basket of naiguo.
And Cen Yan went to cut grass.
On the way home from the mountain, she kept thinking about the fact that Gao had taken thirty taels of silver from Wei Zan.
She has been thinking about this matter for two days.
After dinner was ready in the evening, she and Li brought the food to the table in the main room.
Old man Cen and Old lady Cen took their seats first, followed by Cen Ying and the people from the first house, then Cen Dahai and Mrs. Li, Cen Yan, Cen Yang and the others also sat down.
After a while, Yu from the third room came to serve the meal to Cen Shuang, and then came back and sat down with Cen Dahe.
Cen Shuang was required to stay in her room, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the room, and she was absolutely not allowed to step out of the room.
Because of her, Cen Dahe and Yu have been somewhat dissatisfied with Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen these days, thinking that they are too partial and mistreat the third wife.
In the past, it was fine that they favored the first wife, but at least the third wife could also take advantage of the second wife.
But now, the second branch can step on their heads...
This was very difficult for the third room to accept.
Therefore, although the couple were sitting here, they had cold expressions and were trying hard to compete with other people in the family, refusing to have any communication.
They were so awkward, sitting there as if they were dealing with their enemies, and eating stiffly, which was naturally seen by Old Man Cen.
After finishing the dish he had just picked up with chopsticks, Old Man Cen did not continue to pick up food, but looked at Cen Dahai.
"Second brother, have you rested enough these days? I think your injuries should have healed. So, you can go to the fields to work early tomorrow morning. Let the third brother rest for a day, and you can do all the work for him." said Old Lady Cen.
When he said this, it sounded like he was trying to please Cen Dahe in order to restore the relationship between father and son.
But, bullying the eldest son just to please the third son?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Cen Dahe's expression relaxed immediately.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid that won't work."
Cen Yan sneered in his heart, and immediately refused before Cen Dahai could agree. "My father's blood clots on the back of his head haven't been completely cleared yet, so he can't work at all. It just so happened that I met Doctor Zhou when I went up the mountain today, and asked about my father's condition. When he heard that the blood clots hadn't dissipated, he repeatedly told me that I must not let my father work too hard, otherwise an accident could happen at any time.
"Grandpa, you don't want my dad to be in danger again after finally waking up, right? Wouldn't it cost more money to treat him then? It's not worth it!"
What she said made Old Man Cen frown.
"Cen Yan, what do you mean by this? These days, your father couldn't go to the fields to work, and your third uncle did the work for your father. Why are you making excuses when we just ask your father to help with one day's work? Also, don't think I don't know that you are deliberately using your father's injury to make him continue to be lazy and not work! It's been so many days, no matter how serious the injury is, it will heal! Second brother, is this how you teach your daughter? I think you are too lazy to work, and you don't plan to go to the fields to work in your life! You are the elder brother, do you act like a brother at all? You really think that our third branch is easy to bully!" Yu said immediately with dissatisfaction.
Her dissatisfaction had accumulated over the past few days.
Today is an opportunity for us to vent together.
When Cen Dahai heard this, he wanted to express his opinion.
"What Third Aunt said is serious. She said that my father should continue to use his injury as an excuse to be lazy at work... How could I curse my own father that his injury would never heal? If you don't believe these words, then we can go to Doctor Zhou together tomorrow and ask him if this is the truth." Cen Yan interrupted Cen Dahai again, not wanting him to say a word.
"Cen Yan, it's not that scary. It's not a good thing for your father to stay at home every day. Only if he moves more can his injuries heal faster!" Cen Dajiang also spoke at this time.
Like Cen Dahe, he hoped that Cen Dahai would go to work in the fields as soon as possible.
After all, Cen Dahai works quickly and well, and he won't shirk his responsibilities or make excuses. Even if all your work is thrown to him, he will not refuse to do it.
"It's a pity that my father's injury happened to be on his brain. He absolutely cannot move around much."
Cen Yan turned to confront her uncle, "I'm sure you know how hard the blow was struck by my uncle and how much blood my father lost. You should know that the injury is indeed serious, right?"
"Cen Yan, you're going to keep holding on to this matter, aren't you?" Gao said, expressing her dissatisfaction. "Your uncle was doing it for his own good. He was afraid that something might happen to him, so he did that..."
"I've never seen a person treat his relatives well by smashing their heads. How about uncle let me hit them with the stick I used that day?" Cen Yan asked back.
"What you said is too much! It's extremely treasonous!" When Gao heard this, she was so angry that she scolded her harshly.
"Aunt, I was just talking casually. Why are you so angry? I'm just worried that my father will have another accident, and then we will have to spend the family's money again." However, Cen Yan was not angry at the other party's attitude at all, but smiled.
When Old Lady Cen heard that she had to spend money again, she immediately glared at her and said, "I'm telling you, your second branch has money now. If your father has any accidents again, don't ask me for money! I don't have any money!"
"Of course I won't ask grandma for more money this time. I've thought about it carefully. Since my father was injured by my uncle, he should be responsible. How about my uncle give out ten taels of silver first? As long as my uncle takes out the silver, I will immediately agree to ask my father to go to the fields to work tomorrow." Cen Yan continued to point his finger at the people in the first house.
Cen Dahai originally wanted to dissuade Cen Yan.
But after hearing this, he suddenly realized that it seemed that Cen Yan had a purpose.
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I think you are crazy about money! All the money of our eldest wife has been given to the public, so how can we have money to give you!" Gao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she refused loudly in extreme anger.
