Chapter 6: Everyone Can Lie Down
"Say one more thing and I'll hear it! Whoever argues first will get chopped off first!"
Bi'er laughed as she listened at the door of the ancestral hall, but she was the only one who knew that her young lady was really scolding her ancestors, and even went to see her ancestors in person a few days ago for a "friendly" meeting.
In the underworld
"Listen, listen to that little bitch scolding me again. My dignified Bu family ancestor spent his entire life in the military and dedicated his life to the Great Zhou. I never thought that in the end, he would be scolded like a grandson by a junior. I have never been so embarrassed in my life."
"Hey, old man, stop nagging me. Just scold me if you want. Just listen. Do you want her to come down again?"
"Yes, ancestor, listen to Grandma, calm down. This girl is not easy to mess with. Didn't you see how much the King of Hell dotes on her..."
"That's right, Grandpa. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. It's obvious that the little girl is not an ordinary person. She is covered in seven-colored rays of light, so bright that it can blind the eyes. Maybe she is a god who has been reincarnated into our Bu family. That would be a blessing for our family."
"Maybe our Bu family will rise to prominence from now on?"
The ancestor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Lucky? She scolds me at least once a day now, sometimes even scolds me twice a day, and she points at my nose. This lucky gift is given to you, do you want it?"
"Still rising to prominence? Didn't you hear her say she was going to dig up the ancestral graves and burn the tablets? If the Bu family falls into her hands, there's no telling whether it will have a future."
Other ancestors: ...
The King of Hell stood at the gate of the underworld, looking at the dark night sky: "I never thought she would be reincarnated here... well, it's all fate, the way of heaven, after all, she is still favored."
"This also gives those people a chance to survive. I just hope they won't commit suicide again. I just don't know if she can get what she wants in this life."
After saying this, he looked down at the black mist below, where his face was invisible, and smacked his lips. "I remember you've been with me in this underworld for thousands of years, right? Do you want to be reincarnated?"
"I will open up another path for you, a smooth and prosperous one. Ordinary people don't get such good treatment."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and his confidant turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot, leaving only the sound of "no no no" echoing in the air.
…
Three days later, the Bu family members showed up as expected, this time with luggage.
"We are here to return the silver."
The people from the second house were afraid that they would not be allowed in, so they quickly took out the banknotes and handed them to Zhang Tiancheng who opened the door.
Zhang Tiancheng glanced at the people around him who were watching the excitement, and without hiding anything, he generously showed the silver bills.
"Isn't it 100,000 taels? Why is it only 20,000 taels? You are not planning to default on your debt, are you?"
"My lady has said that if you don't return it in full, you will be brought to justice."
The second wife's face flushed, and she whispered, "This... time is too short. We can only gather this much for now. We will definitely return the rest. Can we... go in and talk to Ruo'er in person?"
Zhang Tiancheng remembered Buruo's instructions and made way for the door: "Go in, Miss said that people can go in, but luggage cannot. Leave it at the doorman's."
The Bu family members looked at each other, put their luggage at the door, and walked in.
"Oh my god, didn't they say the General's Mansion is out of money? What's going on?"
"Look at these pots of flowers. Each pot is worth at least ten taels of silver. How come you don't have any silver? Did we leave some behind when we took them last time?"
"There are also servants. It seems that there are many more than before, and the courtyard is cleaner. Who would believe that the general's mansion has no money?"
"Dad, Mom, Bu Ruo clearly had the silver. She even spoke so badly about herself at the door that day, asking us to return the silver. How could she be so rude? It's really too much."
Zhang Tiancheng led the way in front and listened carefully to what the younger generation of the Bu family said. If the young lady had not said not to use force, he would have wanted to kick all these shameless people out one by one.
In the front hall, Bu Ruo sat in the main seat, looking at the group of people walking in, frowning slightly.
Ancestors: Damn it, this group of unfilial descendants are going to make me get scolded again.
After seeing the layout of the courtyard outside, the second and third wives of the Bu family looked at the empty front hall, which didn't even have a chair, and snorted softly, "Ruo'er, even though you were raised outside, you should still know how to respect your elders."
"How can you sit alone while the elders stand?"
Yo~ He came in. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he was too lazy to even pretend?
Bu Ruo picked up the teacup without even raising her eyelids: "If Second Uncle doesn't want to stand, you can kneel or lie down. Ruo'er doesn't mind."
"There's nothing in this front hall, just a little space. It's no problem for you guys to lie down, whether horizontally or vertically."
"As for the chair, there is none. You have taken all the money. Where will I get the money to buy the chair?"
Zhang Tiancheng walked over to Bu Ruo and handed her the banknote: "Miss, they paid back 20,000 taels."
Bu Ruo hummed, and glanced at the group of indignant people below: "Let's report to the police."
The second family was stunned when they heard this and shouted, "We are your uncle and aunt, we are all family. Do you really have to make such a scene? If your father finds out, he will definitely blame you."
Bu Ruo put the teacup down heavily, shocking everyone: "Blame me? Blame me for what?"
"If I don't get the silver back, my father will blame me, blaming his daughter for being incompetent and not knowing how to fight back when someone bullied her right at her doorstep."
Bu Bowen, the second wife's son, was spoiled since childhood. He was fat and could hardly read. When he saw his parents being scolded, he pointed at Bu Ruo and started cursing.
"You little bitch, born of a mother but not raised by one, how dare you talk to my parents like that? They are your uncles and aunts after all, and not only did they not prepare chairs for us when they came, they even asked us to pay back the money. How can you have the nerve to do that?"
"Look at the layout of your courtyard. You don't lack money at all! You actually ask us for it. How shameless! You are so vicious. You deserve that everyone in the general's mansion will die and you will be the only one left."
Bu Ruo narrowed his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over.
The aim was very good and the head was bleeding.
Zhang Tiancheng: Beautiful!
"You're really eating my food and smashing my bowl. How shameless!"
"When my parents were alive, they provided you with food and clothing. I never thought that now that they are gone, you have no gratitude at all. Not only did you take all the money in the mansion, but you also insulted me, an orphan."
"Go before the officials. Let the officials and the people of Kyoto come and judge whether you should return the money! With written evidence, I don't believe there's no room for discussion!"
The people from the second house were angry when they saw their precious son being beaten, but they did not dare to blame Bu Ruozuo after he met with officials one after another. They had to apologize with a smile on their faces.
