Chapter 160 Don’t act lightly, if you do, you must act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly
Old Man Chen was drooling as he listened, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Oh, I heard that eating in restaurants is quite expensive. A plate of scrambled eggs must cost a lot of money, right?"
"What's it to you? It didn't cost you any money." Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "I wouldn't take you there even if you were dying of greed."
Old man Chen shrank his neck when he was scolded and dared not say anything.
Chen Ruolan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. "Grandma, you really haven't seen the world. Who would eat scrambled eggs in a restaurant? They'd eat roast chicken, roast duck, stewed pork elbow, braised fish, braised pork belly, and big meatballs. I guarantee you'll be full of grease and satisfied."
Old Mrs. Chen swallowed her saliva as she heard this. "Ruolan, don't say anything yet. I'm a little greedy."
Chen Ruolan was full of contempt in her heart. She was really a peasant who had never seen the world and would not spend money.
If it wasn't for the purpose of stepping on that dead girl, she really didn't want to play along with the old couple.
"Grandma, now is not the time to be greedy. Let's quickly discuss how to get those 250 taels of silver!"
"Yes, yes, I was so happy that I forgot about this important thing!" Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Old Man Chen, "If you want to eat out, find a way for me quickly."
"Okay, let me think about it." Old man Chen no longer objected, frowned and thought hard for a while, then said,
"Old lady, I think if we want to make this good thing happen, sweet words will definitely not work. There is only one feasible way."
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up. "Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
"Soft tactics don't work, we can only use hard tactics!"
"Hard, how hard?"
"Hit her!" Old Man Chen gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Didn't you just say that if you want to be rich, you have to be ruthless? Let's take her by surprise and find the right opportunity to catch her off guard. Then we'll give her to Mr. Fan. As long as that damn girl loses her innocence, even if the emperor comes, she will have to accept her fate."
Old Mrs. Chen didn't say a word.
Chen Ruolan nodded repeatedly, "Grandma, my grandfather's idea is good. It's definitely hard to deal with that damned girl in public, so we can only do it secretly. When she's not paying attention, we can knock her out with a stick, and then give her to Mr. Fan. We can easily get two hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Old Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. "It's a good idea, but it's too dangerous. If we hit her with a stick and she kills us, then all our efforts will be in vain."
"Grandma, you worry too much. That damn girl has been beaten a lot since she was little. She is so tough that she can't be killed with just one or two hits.
Don't hesitate, you and my grandfather will find an opportunity in the next few days to send that damned girl to Mr. Fan as soon as possible." Chen Ruolan was so anxious that she wanted to give Chen Qingqing to Fan Tong as a concubine right away.
Old Man Chen said, "Old woman, if you are worried about beating that damn girl to death, I have another way."
"What's the solution? Tell me."
"We can also put her in our pocket in the middle of the night while she's asleep, so she won't die."
"No, no, that damn girl isn't even afraid of Li the Butcher. We can't hold her down at all. If the truth comes out, we won't have a chance to take action."
Old Lady Chen narrowed her triangular eyes and revealed a sinister grin. "We can't attack lightly. If we do, we must be quick, accurate, and ruthless. We won't give the other party a chance to breathe. We must win with one move."
"I understand the principle, but how can I be quick, accurate and ruthless?" Old man Chen was at a loss and hit his head with his fists.
"I knew that this was all you were capable of. Even if you smashed your head, you wouldn't be able to come up with any good ideas."
Old Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes into a slit, with a smile on her face.
"Okay, old man, stop pulling my hair and banging my head. I've already thought of a good idea."
When Old Man Chen heard this, his eyes lit up. "Old woman, why didn't you tell me earlier? What's the solution?"
Chen Ruolan also asked impatiently, "Yes, Grandma, tell me quickly, what solution do you have in mind?"
"Once I implement this plan, even the great immortals will be unable to escape. I will definitely make that damn girl obedient and let us do whatever we want."
As Old Lady Chen spoke, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth smiled even more proudly. She waved to the two of them to come closer and whispered something in a low voice. Chen Ruolan was so happy that she clapped her hands.
"Grandma, your idea is simply too good. It's cruel, ruthless, and merciless. You have to use such despicable means to deal with that damn girl."
When Old Man Chen heard this, he was shocked at first, then his eyes lit up, and finally he smiled and nodded continuously.
"Good, very good, old woman. Your method is a thousand times better than the method of beating someone unconscious with a club. It is done quietly and without anyone noticing. It seems that we have the two hundred and fifty taels of silver as the betrothal gift in our hands."
"Needless to say, just wait for us to go out to eat together!" Old Mrs. Chen smiled proudly.
......
Chen Qingqing brought Chen Xiaoyu back to Nanshan Village and went straight to the Wu family's old house.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Chen Qingqing shouted as soon as she walked into the yard.
Lin came out with a smile, "Qing girl is back."
Chen Zhanshan followed closely behind and was surprised to see a strange man leading a donkey. "Qing girl, did you buy this donkey?"
Chen Qingqing nodded, "Yes, Dad, with it, not only can we save labor, but it also greatly increases the efficiency of sugar production."
"You're right. If we had a donkey, we could probably pick out 400 kilograms of beets a day," Chen Zhanshan said excitedly. He never thought that his family could afford a donkey.
Lin looked at the fat and strong donkey and laughed happily, "Your father pushed the millstone all day today and he was exhausted. He asked me to rest but he refused. Now that I have a donkey, I feel much more relaxed."
"Xiumei, don't tell your daughter nonsense. I'm not tired."
"How can I not be tired? Today the three of us cooked four large pots of beets, which can produce an estimated 60 kilograms of sugar. You pushed the stone mill all by yourself." Lin's eyes were filled with heartache.
Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled, "Dad, my mom is right. I would feel bad if I exhausted you."
"My dear daughter, Daddy has plenty of strength." Chen Zhanshan smiled and took the reins from Chen Xiaoyu. "Good donkey, what a good donkey."
He looked around and found that Chen Xiaoyu was still standing there with no intention of leaving, so he said casually, "Donkey seller, the donkey has been delivered, you can go now."
"I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere." Chen Xiaoyu shook his head.
Chen Zhanshan was stunned. "Why are you not leaving? You want to stay for dinner?"
"Yes, I'm hungry and need to eat."
"What are you dreaming of?" Chen Zhanshan was amused. "Are you okay selling donkeys?"
"I'm not a donkey seller, I'm Xiaoyu." Chen Xiaoyu subconsciously took a few steps back...
