Chapter 450 Give me some money to spend
Hearing her say this, Chen Zhan straightened his chest, raised his head proudly, and directly stated his purpose, "Feng Jiao, although I have great ambitions, my luck is not good, and I am currently short of money. Can you give me a few taels of silver to help me get by first?"
When Liu Fengjiao heard this, her expression suddenly changed and her eyes instantly turned cold.
"How dare you say such things? You took fifty taels of silver with you to Ningjing to take the imperial examination, but did you leave a penny for me and Jiye? If it weren't for Wang Qichang taking pity on me and letting me do odd jobs in his house, I'm afraid I would have starved to death long ago, and how could I have had any money to support you?"
"Fengjiao, this isn't my fault. It was you who said Jiye got two taels of silver for accompanying Wang Qichang to school for a year, so I didn't leave any for you." Chen Zhancai continued with an innocent look, "Besides, you can't work here for free!"
Ruhua felt disgusted when she saw Chen Zhancai asking Liu Fengjiao for money without blushing or beating his heart.
It's really irresponsible of him to give such a high-sounding reason.
If Liu Fengjiao could still eat in the town, it would be understandable that Chen Zhancai didn't care.
But he didn't even care about his parents' life or death, and didn't even leave a penny for his family before leaving for Nanjing.
Could she really entrust her life to such a selfish person?
Ruhua looked confused...
Liu Fengjiao sighed softly, "I did make a little money, but that little money was only enough for me to spend. How could I have any spare money to spend on you?"
Chen Zhancai's face darkened. "Feng Jiao, what you said is wrong. We are husband and wife. Your husband is in trouble now, and you should help him out. You work here, you don't have to worry about three meals a day, and you don't spend much money. How come you don't have any extra money to help your husband?"
"Marry a man, and you'll have clothes and food. I'm lucky enough not to ask you for money, but you're so shameless as to ask me for money. Are you even a man?"
Liu Fengjiao was so angry that she laughed. She had actually thought that such a selfish person could have a chance to rise to prominence. She was really blind.
She could no longer bear it, and the resentment that she had suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out.
"Chen Zhancai, I've had enough of you. What else have you done all these years besides sucking the blood of my family? You're just a piece of shit who has no ambition, only cares about enjoying life, and has no sense of responsibility.
"With your character, you'll never become a human being. In just a few months in Ningjing, you've already made fifty taels of silver. Tell me, did you use the family's money to indulge in food and drink and visit brothels again?"
After hearing this, Ruhua suddenly came to her senses. What Liu Fengjiao said made sense. With so many people going to Ningjing to take the exam, how come only Chen Zhancai encountered robbers and had his money robbed? This was too much of a coincidence!
Could it be true as Liu Fengjiao said, that he took the silver and went to a brothel?
After all, I met him in that kind of place.
She looked at Chen Zhancai with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, "Husband, is what my sister said true? Did you really go to that kind of place again?"
Chen Zhancai panicked, raised his right hand, and swore solemnly, "I swear to the heavens and the earth that I really encountered robbers. If you don't believe me, go ask Dabao and Chen Zhanshan."
"Husband, don't be anxious. I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart." Ruhua hurried to comfort him. After all, in her mind, it is 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog; marry a stick, carry him with you'. If she doesn't believe what her man says, who else in this world is worthy of trust?
Chen Zhancai was so angry that he jumped up and down. He never expected that Liu Fengjiao would use such harsh words to poke his lungs, and he never expected that Ruhua, who was always obedient, would also doubt him.
He really wanted to get angry and scold them, but he knew that now was not the time to lose his temper.
If he really pissed off Liu Fengjiao, he wouldn't get a penny out of her and would have to go back to Nanshan Village to face the nagging old couple.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhan took a deep breath, suppressed his surging anger, and said in a deep voice,
"Feng Jiao, you are right to scold me. I don't have any great abilities, but I am not as dirty as you say.
At that time, I took all 50 taels of silver with me, but that was for emergencies.
I was frugal on the road and didn't spend a penny extra, but who would have thought that I would encounter robbers on the road and be robbed of everything I had.
I really have no other choice, so I thought of you. No matter what, you have to help me. When I make money, I will repay you double... "
"Shut up! I'm tired of your empty promises." Liu Fengjiao interrupted Chen Zhancai, her eyes filled with resentment, as if Chen Zhancai was her sworn enemy. "Chen Zhancai, do you still have any shame? If you had any ability, you wouldn't have let your daughter marry that beast, and she wouldn't have died in such an unclear way. Give me back my Ruolan!"
Liu Fengjiao had heard about Chen Ruolan's disappearance from the Fan family a long time ago. Some said she died suddenly, while others said she was sold to a human trafficker by the Fan family.
In order to verify the truth of these rumors, she went to the Fan family to inquire, but she couldn't enter the Fan family's door at all. In the end, she only got a sentence: the person is dead.
Hearing this sad news, Liu Fengjiao was heartbroken and blamed all her resentment on the Chen family.
If it weren't for the old couple's mischief, her daughter would never have married into the Fan family.
If only the man had some respect, their daughter wouldn't be treated like a human being by the Fan family...
Chen Zhancai didn't expect that Liu Fengjiao already knew that her daughter had met with an accident. In this case, there was no need for him to hide it. He pretended to be aggrieved and explained,
"Feng Jiao, you can't blame me for this. At the time, you thought the Fan family was rich and powerful, and Ruolan would enjoy a good life if she married into their family. Who would have thought that she couldn't bear such a blessing? I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be sad. You have to understand my painstaking efforts!"
Liu Fengjiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "No matter what, my daughter is dead. All of this is the evil done by your Chen family. I hate you. It's you who killed my Ruolan. Go away. I don't want to see you now."
"Ruolan's death was an accident. You can't put the blame on me!" Chen Zhancai was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Fengjiao's arm. "Fengjiao, I don't have a penny in my pocket right now. Do you really have the heart to let me live on the streets?"
"That's your own business, it has nothing to do with me!" Liu Fengjiao coldly shook off his hand and turned to leave.
Chen Zhancai didn't know what to feel when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Liu Fengjiao, stop right there! You are my Chen Zhancai's legally wedded wife. You belong to my Chen family in life and will be my Chen family's ghost in death. If you make money outside, you should give it to me. How can it have nothing to do with you?"
After hearing these words, Liu Fengjiao finally understood what shamelessness meant. She was so angry that her teeth were itching and she really wanted to slap him in the face.
She frowned, looked at Chen Zhancai patiently, and suddenly sneered, "I told you, I'm just a handyman. The little money I earn is not enough for me to spend, so I don't have any spare money to give you!"
