Chapter 190 Hush Money
Old Mrs. Chen then told the story of how Zhao the matchmaker proposed marriage to Fan Tong, how she accepted the betrothal gifts, and how she planned to frame Chen Qingqing.
Chen Zhancai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he became more energetic.
He started to think about it in his mind. The fifty taels of silver he had taken from home last time were almost gone.
I am short of money and haven’t been to Chunfeng Tower to see Miss Ruhua for a long time. I miss her very much.
Now that the family has so much unexpected money, it’s a good opportunity to take some of it out and have some fun.
Not only did he go to brothels for entertainment, but he also wanted to treat those classmates who looked down on him to a big meal at the best restaurant in town.
Let them open their eyes and see that Chen Zhancai is the one to befriend.
He had to take this opportunity to show off, otherwise he really couldn't stay in the academy. He had been ostracized everywhere in the academy recently, and even the teacher had some complaints about him...
The worry on Liu Fengjiao's face disappeared, and her heart was filled with joy. Two hundred and fifty taels of silver, that's a lot of money!
Wang Qichangke said that if she wanted to break up their improper relationship, she had to give him fifty taels of silver as hush money. As long as she had this money, she would not have to deal with him anymore.
That lustful creature is a beast in disguise, appearing to be a decent person on the surface, but secretly being filthy and nasty. He humiliated her in every way and actually enjoyed it... Now every time she poops, she poops blood...
Now, I can finally get rid of him.
Chen Zhancai smiled and said, "Mom, you did a great job. As long as this is done, we will have money."
Liu Fengjiao also raised her eyebrows with a look of joy, "This is really great news. As the saying goes, old age is always the best. That damn girl couldn't escape your clutches after all."
Old Mrs. Chen was a little proud of the compliment. She shook her head and smiled, "Now that our family has money, we don't have to worry about Zhancai's future studies."
Chen Zhancai nodded vigorously, with a smirk on his face.
"Mom, you are really a great contributor to our family. To tell you the truth, it is a sure thing that I will pass the exam next year."
"Really, this is a good thing!"
"Yes, it's a good thing, but you don't know that if you really want to be absolutely sure, there are still many things involved that need to be carefully planned."
Chen Zhancai paused here and observed Mrs. Chen's reaction. She frowned slightly and said hurriedly,
"Mom, you can't save this money, otherwise all the hard work your son has endured in studying these years will be in vain."
It's only been a short time since he took away fifty taels of silver, and it sounds like he wants more silver.
Old Mrs. Chen's heart tightened. She didn't want to give it to him, but when she thought that the following conversation might not go smoothly, she thought it would be better to get their consent first. When things were finalized, it wouldn't be too late to cheat and not give it to him.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Chen nodded.
"Third brother, I understand what you mean. For the sake of your career, we must not skimp on the money we should spend."
"Thank you, mother. You are so kind." Chen Zhancai was so happy to see her agree so readily that he almost fainted. He then asked, "Mother, didn't you just say there was another happy event? Hurry up and tell me what it is."
"The happy event is..." Old Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed to speak. Seeing that Old Man Chen was looking at her again, she hurriedly said, "Old man, you should tell me about this happy event."
Old man Chen was speechless to the extreme. He couldn't even tell the importance of things. He just wanted to talk about things. He didn't even feel tired when he went through so much trouble to talk about good things or happy events.
Listening to what she said, I cursed in my heart, this old woman really treats people badly.
He wouldn't say anything. If the third brother and his wife made trouble, he would be in big trouble.
If good things don't work out, and in the end the joy turns into sorrow, then it becomes a funeral. Isn't this just idle talk?
At this time, Old Man Chen felt a little gloating. Fortunately, he had not said anything since his son came back, so even if there was any blame, it would not fall on him.
He shook his head and refused, "Old woman, you've said all the good things, so you should be the one to do the happy things!"
"You're so useless. I can't count on you for anything." Old Mrs. Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Third Brother, Fengjiao, I told you not to get excited."
Chen Zhancai shook his head and smiled, "Mom, is there anything more exciting than money? Don't hesitate, just tell me!"
"Yes, the happy event you're talking about is that that little girl is going to marry Mr. Fan, the rich man. If that's the case, I, as her aunt, must go and see her off, and take Ruolan to the Fan family for a good meal."
When Chen Zhancai mentioned his daughter, Liu Fengjiao suddenly remembered that she had not seen her since she entered the house, and she looked around hurriedly.
"Where's Ruolan? Why didn't I see her? Where did she go?"
Old Mrs. Chen raised her chin toward the door and said, "He's still sleeping in the west room!"
"It's so late and she's still sleeping. I'll go wake her up."
"No, no, no, don't go call her yet." Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly pulled Liu Fengjiao back, "Let her sleep a little longer."
"Ruolan is too lazy. You guys spoiled her."
Liu Feng gave a coquettish laugh, then asked, "Mom, you haven't told me what the happy event is yet. Let me guess."
He rolled his eyes and said with a joking smile, "This happy event is that the damn girl is going to marry Mr. Fan!"
Old Mrs. Chen forced a smile and said, "There is indeed someone in our family who is going to marry Mr. Fan. No, it's not that damn girl, it's our Ruolan."
"Ruolan?" Liu Fengjiao's head buzzed, and she looked at Old Lady Chen in surprise. "Mother, tell me again, who is going to marry Mr. Fan?"
"It's our Ruolan." Old Mrs. Chen muttered again.
Chen Zhancai's face suddenly changed. "Mom, what's going on? Didn't you just say that Mr. Fan was going to marry Qing? Why did it become Ruolan?"
"Yes, mother, didn't you just say that you used drugs to knock Qing girl unconscious? Since Fan Tong and she are already husband and wife, why did he fall in love with our Ruolan? Tell me quickly!" Liu Fengjiao was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
Old Mrs. Chen knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she had to tell it.
After learning what had happened, Liu Fengjiao was stunned, her eyes wide open, and she screamed hysterically, "You two useless old things, you are the ones who harmed my Ruolan, you must compensate my Ruolan for her innocence."
Chen Zhancai was also furious. "If this gets out, how will I be able to live in the world in the future? It's really shameful!"
Old Mrs. Chen didn't expect them to be so excited, so she pretended to be aggrieved.
"Zhancai, Fengjiao, calm down first. Didn't I just tell you that this was a pure accident? If that damn girl hadn't gotten in the way, nothing like this would have happened to our Ruolan."
"Yeah, your mother is right. Your mother and I can't be blamed for this. No matter what, it was that damn girl who caused Ruolan to be like this."
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Old Man Chen also started to speak up and put all the blame on Chen Qingqing...
