Chapter 91 Asking the Son to Find a Way to Help
"Mom, in this life and this life, my greatest luck is having a good mother like you." Cen Yan hugged Li tightly, feeling indescribably moved.
"My good child, your mother is blessed to have a daughter as smart and sensible as you!" Li also hugged Cen Yan and patted her back gently. She could not understand Cen Yan's feeling of relief after surviving a lifetime of suffering, but she just cherished the warmth of this moment from the bottom of her heart.
The mother and daughter talked to each other for a while.
Cen Yan advised her not to continue the cold war with Cen Dahai. Li blushed and just said that she knew her limits in this matter and asked Cen Yan to focus on doing business with Ji Yunzhan and not to be cheated.
Cen Yan could hear the worry in her words, and felt inwardly that perhaps no mother could truly feel at ease with their children.
Afterwards, they both went to bed.
When Cen Dahai saw Li returned to the room, he took the initiative to step forward and wanted to help her undress, but Li slapped his hand away.
His eyes suddenly became aggrieved.
But Li didn't give him a good look at all. She glared at him, hugged Cen Yang, took off his clothes and went to sleep.
Her glance was soft and without any strength. Cen Dahai was naturally not unhappy about it, but just a little depressed. He stood by the bed for a while like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing Cen Yang lying on the bed with a pair of big black eyes staring at him curiously, his face turned red, and he took off his clothes, blew out the light and went to sleep.
As for Cen Yan, he returned to his room, lay down, and then continued to study in the space.
Although it seemed that she had won a great victory in the end of this turmoil, she was also too passive in the process and was almost kicked out of the house.
If Ji Yunzhan had not appeared in time, clarified the situation for her, and successfully transferred the crisis to Cen Shuang, she might have been kicked out.
Although I really want to escape from Lao Cen's house, now is not the time yet.
Leaving penniless is a sure way to death.
Therefore, she now has a more urgent need to learn a solid skill that can rely on her.
Only by learning medical skills well can you avoid starving to death in the future.
For several days, the Cen family was peaceful and calm.
Cen Dahai is still recuperating at home because the blood clots behind his brain have not completely subsided.
Although this caused dissatisfaction among Cen Dajiang and Cen Dahe, Old Man Cen did not express his opinion and Cen Yan was sharp-tongued, so no one could do anything about him. They could only watch Cen Dahai doing nothing at home every day while they went to work in the fields with a hoe on their back, full of anger.
After this setback, Gao has been behaving very cautiously these days.
Old Mrs. Cen was always nagging and would urge her to pay back the money from time to time. Every time, she would say that she had sent someone home to send a message asking her parents to find a way to raise the money and pay it back.
However, although she said this, she actually did not send any message back.
With her whole family, how could she not know?
There is no way to take out this silver.
She simply didn't tell her family, so that they wouldn't be frightened and unable to eat. Especially her brother Beiyang, he had been weak and timid since childhood. If he got sick from being frightened because of this, she would be heartbroken!
However, she sent a letter to her son who was studying in the county town, telling him what had happened and asking him to find a way to help.
If she cannot resolve this matter satisfactorily, then the position she has built up in the family for many years will really be lost.
When Cen Han received a letter from his mother, he took the opportunity to go back home while on vacation at the academy.
So, after his rebirth, Cen Yan met his eldest cousin, Cen Han, for the first time.
He is nineteen years old this year. He is not as tall and strong as Cen Dajiang, but rather thin. He wears a moon-white straight suit. He looks a bit like Gao Shi, handsome and gentle, with a constant smile on his face, which is in line with his gentle temperament as a scholar.
Cen Han is the eldest grandson in the family, and because he is good at reading, he is deeply loved by old man Cen.
As soon as he came back, the atmosphere in the house, which had been dull for several days, seemed to suddenly become lively, and the whole yard was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Old Mrs. Cen held Cen Han's hand, calling him "my dear grandson" every time. Cen Han was good at talking and had read so many books for many years, so he just said auspicious words to make Old Mrs. Cen smile from ear to ear. Even Old Man Cen, who was usually serious, couldn't stop smiling, his face was filled with joy.
The people in the third room felt very uncomfortable when they saw this scene.
It is because of Cen Han's existence that the eldest wife's position in the Cen family is so unique.
Even if Yu didn't say it, she was jealous of Gao for giving birth to a good son.
Cen Han had just returned. He drank two or three cups of tea, chatted with Old Lady Cen and Old Man Cen for a while, and after telling a few interesting stories about his time studying at the academy, he took out a bundle.
He has been carrying this baggage on his back since he came back.
At this moment, everyone in the Cen family stared at the bundle, watching Cen Han open the bundle and take out a wooden box first.
"Grandma, my grandson studied and wrote articles a while ago and won an award from the academy, and received a lot of money. Considering that you are the eldest grandson in the family and usually cannot be at home to serve you, I used the money to buy you a gift. I don't know if you like it." As he said this, Cen Han handed the wooden box to Grandma Cen.
"Good boy, it's good to come back to see grandma. Why bring any gifts? Grandma will feel bad if you spend money!" Old Mrs. Cen smiled from ear to ear. While saying this, her hands moved very quickly and skillfully to snatch the box.
The box has a nice scent.
Old Mrs. Cen held the box in both hands and first admired the carvings on the outside of the box.
"This box must be worth a lot of silver, right? What's that smell? It smells quite nice." asked Old Mrs. Cen.
"Grandma, this box is made of sandalwood. This kind of wood naturally has a fragrance and is not valuable. It's probably only five taels of silver each!" Cen Han said in an indifferent tone.
When he said this, Cen Yan almost choked himself.
Five taels?
Sandalwood?
He really dares to make up stories...
But everyone in the old Cen family obviously believed it, and they were all amazed.
Even Gao's eyes widened as she looked at her son with a look of pain in her eyes, thinking that her son was too good at spending money. Five taels of silver, to buy a wooden box for the old woman? Just to please the old woman?
What a waste of money!
"What? Five taels! That's too expensive!" Even though Old Mrs. Cen had lived for most of her life, she was still shocked by the price!
"Han'er, are you bragging? Or have you been cheated? It's just a small piece of wood. Let Master Zhang from the neighboring village pick up a piece of wood from the mountain, carve a pattern on it, paint it, and add some spices to smoke it. It's only worth a few dozen coins, right?" Cen Ying widened his eyes, somewhat unbelieving.
