Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile
Chapter 71 A belated apology
Dashan's face turned pale when he heard this, but his personality is honest, straightforward and generous.
If you insist on competing for work with the poor villagers, you will surely be drowned in everyone's spit.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted. I just thought that my second son was really pitiful this time, so I wanted to help him. I forgot that everyone is having a hard time."
Dashan corrects his mistakes as soon as he realizes them and admits them very quickly.
His attitude was clear, and with so many people present watching, the village chief couldn't make things difficult for him any further. After a few pleasantries, the matter was over.
Perhaps he was in a bad mood because of being rejected, or perhaps he was thinking about how to explain his behavior this time, Dashan didn't talk as much as usual along the way.
Only after entering the Fan family and receiving the silver did Dashan bow deeply and then trot away.
He looked like a big kid who had been wronged.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. As soon as Dashan left, Chu Ci found the fifth prince and said, "Dashan in the village gives me a feeling that something is wrong. If you have time, you can check it out."
The fifth prince slowly put down the pen in his hand and was about to look up to ask what was wrong, but Chu Ci had no patience to act with him and had disappeared.
The fifth prince was so angry: "This, this woman, who does she think I am?"
But the only response he got was the cold walls around him. After a long while, the Fifth Prince put his hands on his hips and raised his head, "Did you hear that? Go check it out!"
It seemed that only this way could he vent his dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, the secret guards are good at protection, spying and even assassination, but they can't comfort the soul of the fifth prince.
On the other side, Chu Ci tickled the fifth prince a little, and felt much better.
Somehow I remembered the coconut chicken I had in Hainan Island in my previous life. It was sweet, fragrant and especially delicious.
The remaining soup after eating the chicken can be used to cook vegetables. Add some Chinese spinach, corn, mushrooms, and fresh shrimps, and the taste is simply amazing.
No, no, she couldn’t hold back her saliva any longer, she had to go find her elder sister.
"Father-in-law, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, what can they want from me?" Previously, the family rules of the Fan family were extremely strict, even though later because of Chu Ci, the younger generations became a little more relaxed.
But the elders seemed to be more accustomed to the previous format, so Chu Ci had almost no contact with his father-in-law and several uncles.
Chu Ci felt a little uncomfortable for a moment when he was suddenly looked for.
Just when she was halfway there, she was stopped by Qianxue who came running over. "Sister-in-law, the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the fourth uncle are looking for you."
"What do father-in-law, second uncle and fourth uncle want to talk to me about?"
The Fan family rules were very strict before. Even though the younger generations became a little more relaxed because of Chu Ci, the elders still seemed to be more accustomed to the old ways.
So Chu Ci had almost no contact with his father-in-law and several uncles.
Chu Ci was a little bit hard to adapt to being summoned by them suddenly. "Qianxue, do you know what this is about?"
Qianxue chuckled, but kept it a secret: "Sister-in-law, you will never guess this."
Chu Ci really couldn't imagine it, so he smiled and waited for Qianxue to say it herself. Sure enough, after a while, Qianxue leaned over and whispered in Chu Ci's ear: "Uncle and his family are making money, and they are anxious to pay your living expenses!"
Chu Ci's eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that he was provoked by Grandpa Chu before, and this was to save his face.
Chu Ci immediately became interested, "Do you know how your uncle and his family make money? I haven't seen them leave the village during this period of time."
"My eldest uncle seemed to have sold a painting. I'm not sure about my second and third uncles. But my father said that my fourth uncle secretly carved an ebony hairpin and sold it for two thousand taels of silver! As for my father..."
At this point, Qianxue paused deliberately, until Chu Ci was obviously anxious, and then said: "Hehe, inspired by Fourth Uncle, I made a bamboo-carved pen holder with mountains and flowing water."
"Although I sold it, I only got twenty taels of silver. So I'm embarrassed to take it out."
Chu Ci was amused. He had thought that the Fan family was very strict with rules, but he didn't expect that the men in the Fan family were so introverted and reserved.
Especially my fourth uncle, he actually has a great skill in carving hairpins. It really shows that you can’t judge a person by his appearance.
After understanding the whole story, Chu Ci pretended to be serious and said, "Let's go. Don't let the eunuchs wait too anxiously."
Qianxue has long wanted to see her father make a fool of himself. No one supported her before, and now that her uncle has handed over the household expenses, it would be unreasonable for her father to still hide it.
Hey, it really came true! When they arrived at Qingsong Courtyard, Chu Ci's father-in-law and mother-in-law were all there, as well as his four uncles and aunts.
After Chu Ci greeted everyone in turn, he asked, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, why did you call your daughter-in-law here?"
Chu Ci's father-in-law didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a hundred taels of silver. "Since you have been the one who got through the most difficult times for the Fan family, you will be the head of the family from now on."
Head of the household? This pace seems a bit too fast. Chu Ci turned to look at his mother-in-law who was sitting at the top.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law is also a straightforward person. "Don't be afraid. This is the decision made after discussing with your four aunts. The Fan family is no longer what it used to be. In the future, you and Rui Ge'er should take better care of your brothers and sisters."
After Chu Ci's mother-in-law finished speaking, several aunts nodded.
Aunt Wu said even more generously: "What your mother-in-law said is what we want to say. We can't help you with farming. Just leave the housework to us. We promise that we won't hold you back."
After saying that, she pushed Uncle Wu and said, "Hurry up and take out the silver!"
Uncle Wu blushed, and took out a red wooden box from behind his back. Aunt Wu grabbed it and stuffed it into Chu Ci's arms, "Here."
Seeing this, the second and third aunts followed suit.
Only Fourth Aunt felt awkward. She wanted to show her intimacy but couldn't bring herself to do so.
In the end, it was the fourth uncle who personally took the 100 taels of silver and handed it to Chu Ci. "I'm sorry, and thank you."
Hearing that her husband actually apologized to a younger person, Fourth Auntie flew into a rage: "How did you do anything to her? It was obviously her..."
Unfortunately, her husband, who used to obey her in everything, did not obey her this time. "Yin Zhang, if you are wrong, you are wrong. It doesn't mean that the mistake will disappear just because you don't admit it."
It’s not that Fourth Aunt doesn’t know this, it’s just that the favored person feels fearless.
Now that the people who favored her have changed their attitude, her confidence is naturally gone.
"I..." Fourth Aunt was stunned for a long time. After a long psychological struggle, she finally said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have used everyone's kindness to target a child. I was wrong, really wrong."
