Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

"Brother Dagen, what do you say?" Village Chief Zhao was in a difficult situation as this was a family matter, but it was also a village matter.

Once the practice of selling my niece started, I was afraid that it would ruin the village's reputation. By then, people from several villages near and far would know about it, and no one would be willing to marry their daughter to their village.

We still need to come up with a set of rules for this matter.

Zhao Dagen smoked his pipe and thought for a long time before nodding helplessly.

"Then let's split up the family, but is it possible tomorrow? After all, the third brother is not at home." Zhao Dagen said.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. You all think about it in the evening and decide whether you really want to split up the family and how to divide it." Village Chief Zhao nodded.

Wang Ronghua wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Guocheng.

"Everyone, please go away if you have nothing to do. Also, Zhao Guoguang, what you did was really inhumane. If something like this happens again in the village, we will just close the ancestral hall, lock the chains and throw them into the river. It will be up to fate whether they live or die." Village Chief Zhao looked at everyone seriously, especially Zhao Guoguang.

Zhao Guoguang was trembling with fear. He had already been seriously injured and now he didn't even have the strength to stand. He fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen, Zhao Guoguang's daughter-in-law, rushed to support him and prevented him from falling.

Wang Ronghua bit her lip and thought to herself, could it be that the village chief also wants to make a big deal out of a small matter?

How can that work?

Then her daughter’s suffering would have been in vain, and if it weren’t for her cleverness, her daughter wouldn’t know whether she is dead or alive now.

It’s impossible, absolutely impossible to just let it go like this!

Soon the villagers dispersed, leaving only the Zhao family in the yard.

"Why don't you hurry up and make dinner? You're thinking of me cooking for you, but do you think you deserve it?" Zhao Bai looked in the direction of Wang Ronghua and Zhao Chen angrily.

Zhao Chen immediately went to the kitchen to start cooking dinner.

Wang Ronghua hugged Zhao Shiying and turned around and went into the house.

"Shisheng, Shihui, come here and help look after your sister. I'll go cook for you." Wang Ronghua instructed the two children.

After the two children came over, she went to cook dinner with her eldest daughter Zhao Shimin.

Man is iron and food is steel. If she doesn't eat for a meal, she will feel hungry. No matter what, she has to eat her fill first.

Moreover, she was worried whether Zhao Guoguang would tell his parents about the one hundred taels of silver today.

After dinner, Zhao Dagen sat in the main room and all the children went back to their rooms.

"Tell me what you think. Although the third brother is not at home, he will be back tomorrow." Zhao Dagen said.

"Dad, look at how badly I've been beaten. Besides, isn't Shiying back? What else do you want?" Zhao Guoguang cried. It hurt to eat. His whole body ached.

He was still worried about the matter of the one hundred taels. If he didn't tell her now, he would have to tell her tomorrow. Anyway, it had come to this, so Zhao Guoguang made up his mind to go for it.

"Hmph~ You still have the nerve to talk like that? If Guocheng and his wife hadn't found it themselves, who would have counted on you? You scum, I'll beat you to death." Zhao Dagen was so disappointed with his friend that he almost dodged a slap, but Zhao Guoguang dodged it.

"Dad, there is one thing I haven't told you. Let me make it clear first, you can't hit me anymore, otherwise I won't tell you." Zhao Guoguang acted like a naughty boy at this moment.

Zhao Dagen gave him a look and Zhao Guoguang became timid.

"Dad, I originally wanted to return the money to Mr. Qian, but Mr. Qian refused and asked me to compensate him for the loss caused by the punishment from heaven, so...he asked me to return a hundred taels of silver and sign a pledge."

Wang Ronghua looked at Zhao Guocheng, knowing that the matter could not be concealed. It was not certain whether the family could be divided. Even if it was to be divided, they had to be mentally prepared.

"What did you say? You owe Mr. Qian a hundred taels of silver?" Zhao Dagen stood up in shock and looked at the boss in disbelief.

"You coward, why didn't you tell me such a big thing yesterday?" Zhao Bai was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. It was over, this family was over. How could she afford to pay back a hundred taels? It would be better to sell that dead girl, then she wouldn't have to pay back the hundred taels.

Everyone looked at Zhao Guoguang in shock.

Zhao Dagen almost fainted, but before he fainted, he took off his shoes in front of everyone and beat Zhao Guoguang with the soles of his shoes.

This stunned everyone and they haven't reacted yet.

"My Zhao family is short of food and drink from you, or I am greedy for your flesh and blood, so I even want to sell my niece. You already have a daughter, so how could you do such a thing? Now you haven't got the money, and you still owe me one hundred taels of silver. What are you going to pay you back?" Zhao Dagen was so angry that his eyes turned red. Turbid tears flowed across his wrinkled face, making him look haggard and pitiful. He beat Zhao Guoguang hard with trembling hands.

When Zhao Chen saw her husband being beaten, she didn't dare to go over there even though she had originally wanted to. She looked at Zhao Guoguang in shock and worry. One hundred taels of silver waaaaaaaaahed someone's life.

When Wang Ronghua saw this, her eyes became red. Finally, there was someone sensible in the family.

"Dad, Dad, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. From now on, I would rather sell myself than sell my child." Zhao Guoguang was beaten into submission this time. Being beaten three times in one day was not a punishment even for a child leader, let alone a man.

How could Zhao Dagen just let it go? Even if he wanted to, his second son's wife wouldn't agree. He did all this for his second son and his wife to see, with the purpose of maintaining family harmony and preventing the family from splitting up.

Besides, I suddenly owed him one hundred taels of silver. Where could I go to seek justice? I had to vent my anger.

The entire evening, the Zhao family was in a gloomy and worried mood, and they still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Day two.

After breakfast, the village chief came.

"What do you think? Are you still going to split up the family?" Village Chief Zhao looked at the people in the yard.

He was called here by Zhao Shihui.

Everyone in the Zhao family, including the children, were sitting in the yard.

Even the baby Zhao Shiying was there.

"Uncle Manfu, let's divide it." Zhao Guocheng said.

The village chief looked at Zhao Dagen, Zhao Guoguang, and Zhao Guochang who had returned early in the morning.

Zhao Guochang had already understood the whole story and was shocked beyond words.

He secretly hated his eldest brother's stupidity and his second brother's unreasonableness, and was even more worried that he would not be able to get the money. He would need a considerable amount of money to spend for the next exam, but considering the situation at home, it would be difficult.

What's more, I don't know how to pay back the hundred taels.

"Dad, big brother, second brother, can you please let me say a few words?" Zhao Guochang looked at everyone.

"Go ahead and talk. There's nothing that can't be said between family members." Zhao Dagen waved his hand and let Zhao Guochang speak.

"It was my eldest brother who was wrong, but there is no need to divide the family. Besides, the most important thing right now is how to pay back the hundred taels, otherwise Mr. Qian will not take it easy." Zhao Guochang frowned.

If the second branch really splits up, then the one hundred taels will be the old house's business, and they can stay out of it.

But how could Zhao Guochang let the second branch get what they wanted?

The village chief was shocked.

After the village chief knew the whole story, he thought to himself, he deserved it. He lost more than he gained. He deserved it!

But how can I afford to pay back one hundred taels?

Village chief Zhao was so frightened that he could not sit still.
