After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Magistrate Cao was also speechless. How could he say that he had no money so confidently?

Shen was right, this was shameless.

"No money? That's OK, sir. Take the officers to his home and confiscate his house, land and everything else. If there's not much, there's always going to be some, right?

This is the first time in my life that I have seen anyone dare to owe money to the county government.

Also, please ask the county school official to come and tell him that this man's title of scholar is not worthy of his qualifications and should be stripped of his qualifications."

If County Magistrate Cao is really angry, can’t he deal with you?

Jiang Chen was really frightened. "Sir, I was just discussing compensation with Shen, not that I would not return the money to the county government. Sir, you misunderstood me."

Shen Nanzhi: "You mean I'm easy to bully, so you should just default on my debt, but the county magistrate is not easy to bully, so you should just pay me back?

How did I, Shen Nanzhi, give you the illusion that I would allow you to bully me? "

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. Yes, why did he think that the Shen family was easy to bully?

Yes, it was in the past, when she first came in, she was shy and timid, and smiled at me ingratiatingly. She would accept any conditions as long as I was satisfied.

Even her own family members tried their best to be filial to her and rushed to do the work. Ever since she came into the family, the donkey in the family could have a rest. Who could blame her for her strength?

It was as if Shen had suddenly become a different person after being injured. Jiang Chen still didn't want to admit that she was no longer the hardworking and selfless person she used to be.

Uncle Niu also said, "You owe my niece some money. The county magistrate has made his ruling. I will go back to Yushu Village to find Boss Shen. He is Nanzhi's cousin. We in Nanzhi are not without elders."

Aunt Niu spat in his face: "You are a beast in human form, a scum of culture, shameless."

The people also pointed fingers at him, saying that he was indeed a scum of the nation, ungrateful, and worse than an animal.

County Magistrate Cao slammed the gavel and said, "Now, the ruling is that Shen Nanzhi and Jiang Chen shall divorce, effective immediately. The Jiang family shall return the Shen family's dowry and the six hundred taels of silver owed, to be returned today.

If they dare to default on their debts, their property will be confiscated, their official titles will be revoked, and they will never be allowed to enter the court again. The clerk will write a verdict and have them sign it."

The clerk wrote very quickly and soon finished it. The county magistrate and the legal advisor looked at it, stamped it with the county government seal, and asked them to sign and put their fingerprints on it.

Jiang Chen naturally signed his own name, and Shen Nanzhi also picked up the brush and wrote his name skillfully.

"You can actually read?"

Shen Nanzhi looked at him like an idiot: "Can't I read? Is this character yours? Why do you care whether others can read or not?"

Not only Jiang Chen was surprised, even Magistrate Cao was surprised. It was possible for a boy to go to a private school and learn to read and keep accounts, but I had never heard of anyone in the countryside sending a girl to school. It was good enough not to favor boys over girls. How could this money be wasted?

Uncle Niu sneered, "My brother Shen only has this one daughter, so naturally I give her the best of everything. She has been studying in a private school since she was young, and she has even been taught by a teacher. Although she may not be well-read, she has no problem reading and writing."

Shen Nanzhi just dug out the ancient common sense about literacy from the original owner's mind. It was indeed difficult for poor girls to be literate.

It’s Lin Xueqing. Even though she’s very favored at home, she’s illiterate.

I had wanted to study with the old scholar in the town for a while, but was stopped by my brothers and sisters-in-law. Even if my family was rich, we couldn't afford to waste it like that, let alone being penniless and unable to even get enough food to eat.

Lin Xueqing had no choice but to give up. If she knew that Shen Nanzhi could actually read, she would be furious again.

"Ms. Shen, this county has to look at you with a higher regard. It's good that you can read."

It's a bit regrettable. Apart from being ugly, Shen has almost no faults. She is hardworking, knows how to make money, is strong, intelligent and literate. She is qualified to be the wife of a landlord.

The little incident passed quickly. Shen Nanzhi looked at the divorce agreement and the bright red seal, which represented her freedom. She was so happy that her eyebrows curved. "Thank you, Lord Cao. You are truly an upright judge, a parent official of the people, and a blessing to countless people in this county."

Magistrate Cao straightened his back and became more energetic after being praised. He continued to pronounce the verdict: "Within three days, Scholar Jiang must collect the outstanding amount and return it to Miss Shen in full. Alas, you can call her Miss Shen now.

This county has sent someone to supervise. If you dare to miss even a penny, you will lose your title as a scholar and leave the court."

Jiang Chen's face turned pale and he stared at Shen Nanzhi with resentment. This woman really didn't give him any chance to survive. She was too cruel.

Shen Nanzhi helped Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu up, "Today is a good day, let's go to a restaurant to celebrate."

"Let's go home and eat. Stewing more meat is also a way of celebrating. It's such a waste to go to a restaurant."

Aunt Niu felt sorry for the money, but she was very happy that Shen Nanzhi had this intention. This child was filial and sensible. Some of the Jiang family members would regret it in the future.

"Shen, you are so cruel!"

Shen Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for the compliment. If a woman is not ruthless, her position will be unstable. I have to continue to be ruthless in order to live a good life.

Just wait and see, I, Shen Nanzhi, will stand at a height that you cannot even look up to, and you will not even be worthy of carrying my shoes.

Jiang Chen, if you have any brains, you should beg me to be soft-hearted. Maybe I can give you some extra time."

Jiang Chen felt aggrieved, ashamed and angry. Where could he get six hundred taels of silver in three days?

Even if they sold their house and land, it wouldn't be enough, so they had to bow their heads and say, "Then I beg you, can you give me some more time?"

Jiang Chen still had some fantasies. Since Shen liked her so much in the past, if he said something nice to coax her, maybe she would forgive him.

"cannot!"

"you……"

Jiang Chen said angrily: "Are you kidding me?"

Shen Nanzhi said disdainfully: "You have to be okay even if I play with you. Don't forget that the doctor said you are not good enough and it is difficult for you to have children. You should go see a doctor."

"Vulgar and shameless."

Shen Nanzhi shrugged. "What do you care? I'm still violent!"

She raised her fist, scaring Jiang Chen so much that he took two steps back. She really dared to do that!

The people were pointing and talking, saying that Jiang Chen was going to become famous. The county was so small that the news would surely spread everywhere within a day.

Lin Xueqing came in hurriedly, looking surprised and surprised, "Brother Jiang, what happened? Did you get divorced?"

Shen Nanzhi said: "Not yet, don't be too happy too soon."

"How not?"

"He still owes me six hundred taels of silver, he has to pay me back. Your concubine may not look good, but at least she is young. Concubines are the property of the master and can be sold. Why don't you sell your concubine first?"

Lin Xueqing's face turned pale with fear: "No, Brother Jiang can't bear to leave me."

"That's not necessarily true. If you ask him to help you become his principal wife, do you think he will agree?"

Lin Xueqing looked at him expectantly, but Jiang Chen avoided her gaze and said, "Don't listen to her instigation. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Jiang Chen still had to go home and discuss raising money with his family, as he couldn't solve it alone.

Shen Nanzhi said that they should go out to eat, and Niu Debao and his friends were so happy. They had never been out of a restaurant in their lives, so they went home, hugged their sister, and went to the restaurant downstairs of Fuyun Building, the largest restaurant in the county!
