Chapter 15015 Windfall
But Yuan Sheng sent Zhu home and hurried to find Doctor Sun to treat Zhu.
Halfway through, a cold wind blew, and Yuan Sheng gradually calmed down. Thinking back on the whole incident, his face suddenly changed.
"Damn it! She tricked me!"
He thought the same as Zhu, believing that Du Qingtang had bribed Doctor Sun in advance, and the two of them had staged a grand drama to conceal the truth.
Then, taking advantage of his eagerness to clear his name, he persuaded him to pay off his debt with his house.
"Bitch! Bitch!"
Yuan Sheng cursed loudly, and a bird flew over his head and pooped in his mouth.
"vomit!"
Yuan Sheng lay on the side of the road vomiting violently. He finally caught up with Doctor Sun and threatened him with a gloomy face: "Do you know that Du Qingtang intends to participate in the imperial examination? Once her identity is discovered, you will be an accomplice..."
Doctor Sun thought the Yuan family was crazy: "Are you annoying? You had nothing better to do than to dig out the village toilets, and you dug out my toilet too."
Yuan Sheng: “?”
Doctor Sun curled his lips and said, "You have so many bad things to do, aren't you afraid of getting a disease?"
Yuan Sheng: “…”
The two arrived at Yuan's house. Yuan Sheng asked Yuan Xue to take Doctor Sun over while he went to take a shower and change clothes.
While I was washing my mouth with a loofah, Du Qingtang pushed open the half-open courtyard door and came in.
The door of Yuan Ping and Zhu's house was wide open. When Yuan Xue saw her coming, she went to greet her, suppressing her shame and saying, "Tang Ge'er..."
Du Qingtang heard the sound of water splashing in Yuansheng's room, and without caring about the rules of gender separation, he banged on the door: "Yuansheng, come out."
Yuan Sheng was startled and used too much force, causing the loofah to rub his tongue and cause blood to flow.
Du Qingtang pounded on the door relentlessly: "Hurry up and pack your things and move out. I want to move in before dinner."
Yuan Sheng put on his clothes hastily, thinking of today's farce and his reputation ruined by Du Qingtang. With new and old grudges added together, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his fist the moment he opened the door.
Du Qingtang immediately pulled out a kitchen knife: "I want to see which is faster, my knife or your hand?"
Yuan Sheng: “…”
A man who knows the times is a hero. Yuan Sheng turned around and left to pack his luggage.
Yuan Xue harnessed the donkey cart, loaded the luggage and Zhu onto the cart, and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Du Qingtang's kitchen knife gleamed in his hand. "Where's the stuff?"
Yuan Sheng's face froze, and he reluctantly handed the deed and silver to Du Qingtang, then drove away from the Yuan family in a donkey cart... No, from now on this is the Du family.
In addition to this brick house, the Yuan family also has an old house, and that is where they are heading.
After seeing Doctor Sun off, Du Qingtang did not leave immediately. Instead, he closed the door, bolted it, and walked straight to the chicken coop.
She paced back and forth beside the chicken coop, finally stopping on the left side and pulling out the fifth brick.
When I leaned over and looked, I found a different world.
Three bricks separated the chicken coop. Du Qingtang reached in and fumbled around for a while before taking out something hidden inside.
Twelve silver notes of one hundred taels and a bag of small change.
......
Yuan Ping was lustful and fond of gambling when he was young. He had been married to Zhu for nearly twenty years, and his son and daughter had grown up to be eighteen years old, but he still had not changed these two habits.
He flirted with the widows in the village and visited the gambling house every now and then. He never complained about his losses and would either give his winnings to the widows or hide them away.
It was obvious that the 1,200 taels of silver notes and small change were the private money that Yuan Ping had secretly hidden from Zhu for nearly twenty years.
To ask how Du Qingtang knew that the private money was hidden in the chicken coop, we have to start from the first life.
Yuan Ping was addicted to alcohol. One time when he was drunk, his friends tricked him into revealing the location of his private money. By the time he realized something was wrong, it had been several days and the private money had long since disappeared.
More than one thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, so Yuan Ping went to their house and asked his friends to pay back the money.
His friends cried out that they were wronged, which attracted the attention of neighbors.
Everyone said that Yuanping was daydreaming after drinking too much. Where did he, a lazy man who only knew how to eat and drink, get so much money?
Finally, Yuan Ping reported the matter to the county government, and his friends reluctantly returned the stolen money.
When Yuanping returned home, a family war was waiting for him.
When Zhu learned that Yuanping had hidden his own money and was helping widows, she was furious and scratched his face and beat him like a pig's head. He didn't dare go out for a whole half month, making the villagers laugh at him.
.......
Du Qingtang folded up the banknotes and stuffed them into his purse containing small change, keeping it close to his body.
She had said long ago that she would make the Yuan family pay back tenfold or a hundredfold.
Du Qingtang made a big fuss, making it known to the whole village and reaching the point where the situation was beyond resolution, not just for a second-hand house.
On the second day after her rebirth, she copied twelve silver notes worth one hundred taels, and used gravel to forge small change. Everything was ready, except for the east wind.
Today, she finally waited for the east wind.
Du Qingtang put the fake banknotes and fake change back to their original places, pushed the bricks back, and took the deed to Fang Honghai's house.
Fang Honghai was sitting in the yard smoking a pipe. When he saw Du Qingtang coming over, he thought that the Yuan family was causing trouble again and suddenly got a headache.
A family of troublemakers!
"But Sheng'er's mother..."
"Village Chief, please transfer the house and land deeds."
Fang Honghai was stunned. So that's what was going on. He agreed readily.
The village chief of Daxia is appointed by the government. Any family in the village who wants to buy or sell a house or land can directly contact the village chief to handle the transfer procedures.
The deed originally had Yuan Ping's name written on it. Fang Honghai fetched a seal and brush, and was about to change it to Yuan Ruyi—the name of the Yuan family—when Du Qingtang said, "Village Chief, could you please write my name?"
Fang Honghai was stunned for a moment, thinking about the relationship between Yuanshi and the Yuan family, and the credibility of the fact that "Yuanshi asked Yuanping to keep the silver for them", he hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.
"Your father passed away early. Twelve years have passed in a flash. Brother Tang, you have grown up." Fang Honghai said earnestly, "Study hard and strive to make Taoyuan Village produce another student."
He originally thought that Yuan Sheng would be the second Tongsheng after Liu Tongsheng, but ever since that incident, he no longer had any hope.
Du Qingtang was admitted to Qingyuan Academy from Li's private school. She was obviously a capable and ambitious person, and he had high hopes for her.
Du Qingtang took the contract and said, "Thank you very much. I will do my best."
Fang Honghai smiled and watched her leave.
Before even stepping into the mud house, Du Qingtang heard Yuan's wailing: "Unfilial daughter! All of you are unfilial daughters! You are going to piss me off to death!"
"If you dare to leave today, I will hit my head against the kang and die!"
Du Qiya was furious: "Mom! Are you really my mother? What mother is so ungrateful and doesn't treat her daughter as a human being? Oh, it turns out to be my mother!"
Du Qingtang: “…”
"Qiya!" Yuan screamed.
Du Qingtang rubbed his ears and pushed open the door: "If you want to hit me, just hit me. Don't talk nonsense. If you die, I will bury you with honor. If you don't die, I will ask Doctor Sun to cure you."
Yuan's ferocious expression froze, looking hilarious.
"Have you packed?" Du Qingtang looked at the four girls. "The house has been transferred. You can move in tonight."
Du Liuya cheered: "Great!"
Du Qiya clapped her hands: "I want to sleep with Baya!"
"No! I don't agree! You're putting our family on the spot and making us the laughing stock of the entire Taoyuan Village!" Yuan Shi pressed a pair of scissors to her throat. "Tang'er, if you don't return the silver and the house, and destroy the IOU and the letter of severance, I will die in front of you."
"No one cares whether you live or die. Fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister, eighth sister, let's go." Du Qingtang was not moved at all. She picked up her bag and turned to leave. "Even if I didn't make a big deal out of this today, you have been giving money to the Yuan family day in and day out for twelve years. You have become the biggest joke in Taoyuan Village. Fortunately, everyone now thinks you were deceived by Yuan Ping and they feel very sympathetic towards you."
Yuan's face turned pale and blue, and she turned to look at the side: "Wu Ya..."
The four girls were hurt by Yuan's attitude. Getting the money back and moving into a new home were obviously great joyful events, but Yuan threatened to commit suicide, which was really heartbreaking.
They didn't even look at Yuanshi and followed Du Qingtang away.
The Du family was extremely poor. Apart from their pots, pans, and worn-out clothes, the only valuable things they had were Du Qingtang's handwritten books.
Du Qingtang delivered the clothes first and left the books for last.
When someone saw that Yuanshi was not there, they asked them, "Tang'er, why didn't your mother go with you?"
Du Qingtang: "My mother couldn't bear to leave my father, so she decided to stay in the old house with him."
Du Wuya: “…”
The man believed it and asked, "Can you bear to leave her alone in the old house?"
Du Qingtang: "My mother said that we have suffered a lot over the years and asked us to move over there to enjoy a better life. She also wanted to have some heartfelt words with my father."
Du Baya: “…”
