The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

In the Great Qi Dynasty, if you owed money and didn't pay it back, you would be caned 20 times, and if you didn't pay it back for more than 20 days, you would be caned 60 times. If you couldn't pay it back, you would be imprisoned for a year. Being in prison didn't mean you were done with the debt, you still had to pay it back. According to the Great Qi law: "All those who are involved in financial matters, can be treated as private contracts, and the government will not take care of them... If the family assets are exhausted, they will be forced to work as labor, and the labor of all the males in the household..."

According to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, if a family cannot repay a debt and has no property to pledge, the male members of the family must do labor service to pay off the debt. However, women and children do not need to do labor service, so once the case is investigated, the two people who will be forced to do labor service are Wen Lao Da and Wen Lao San. The place of labor service may not be determined at that time, and the two may be separated.

If the third Wen family had separated early and publicly severed ties with the first Wen family, they would not have been required to perform labor service.

Wen Yufeng suddenly cackled like crazy, "We are really a family. We can only share wealth but not adversity."

Wen Lao San glanced at Wen Yufeng. He was tired of beating her. He just wanted to separate the family from them as soon as possible. "Yufeng, you can't say that. You have caused such a big disaster. Our family can't pay it back even if we work hard for most of our lives. You can't drag us down with you. Baolong is still so young. Who knows if this will affect Baolong's future exams."

When Boss Wen heard that the Third Brother's family wanted to split up, he became even more annoyed and kicked Wen Yufeng: "It's all your fault, you spendthrift! Third Brother, don't split up the family either. Get this thing out of here. I, Boss Wen, don't have a daughter like you, and this isn't your home. Get out of here!"

Wen Yufeng looked at Boss Wen sadly and cried out, "Dad..."

"Don't call me dad, I'm not your dad!"

"Mother..." Wen Yufeng looked at Zhang Sufen again. Although Zhang Sufen was reluctant, she had no other choice. She could no longer count on Wen Yufeng in this life. She became an abandoned child in the family.

Old Mrs. Wen sat on the stool in silence. She also hoped that Wen Yufeng would sever ties with their family. This was the only way to save their family. The two brothers did not need to separate the family. All debts were borne by Wen Yufeng alone and had nothing to do with the family.

Wen Zhuo wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that the family was determined and had already made up their minds to give up Wen Yufeng, he could not say anything more. "Yufeng, why don't you stay at your uncle's house for two days, and come back when your parents have calmed down."

Wen Yufeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her parents. "I am sorry that I have caused you to worry. I bid you farewell."

Wen Zhuo took Wen Yufeng back home. After all, she was his niece whom he had looked after since childhood. Now that he had met her, he couldn't just watch her wander the streets.

After settling Wen Yufeng, Wen Zhuo went back to the pharmacy. Song Jiao happened to be in Ye Xiuying's study in the front yard, telling Wen Qingcheng that Wen Zhuo had been called away.

"Hey? Uncle is back." Wen Qingcheng greeted him.

Song Jiao asked hurriedly: "Is everything okay over there? What happened?"

"Yufeng was deceived by that man named Qiu, who borrowed 250 taels of silver from a bank in her name. Now my eldest brother and his family know about it, and they all surrounded Yufeng and beat her up. My third brother's family is afraid of being implicated, so they are clamoring to split up the family."

Ye Xiuying sighed after hearing this, "That Mr. Qiu looked like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be a liar. Two hundred taels is not a small amount. No wonder the boss and the others are angry."

Wen Qingcheng's expression remained calm. Everything was within her expectations. That Mr. Qiu had deceived so many women, and Wen Yufeng would not be an exception. This was also because she did not know people well and had to bear the consequences. However, Wen Qingcheng did not feel happy about other people's misfortunes. No one's life was smooth. If she laughed at others today, how could she know that she would not be in trouble in the future? All she could do was ignore him and manage her own life well.

Wen Zhuo continued, "The problem is that the man surnamed Qiu has been imprisoned in the county jail, so Yufeng will have to pay back the money herself."

Ye Xiuying sighed softly: "How long will it take to pay it back? The interest on the bank's loan is rising so fast, and I can't pay it back even if I sell my house and land."

"How can I sell the house and land? My eldest brother has already kicked Yufeng out and cut off all ties with her. He is going to give up Yufeng to save the whole family."

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng looked at each other. They didn't expect that Old Man Wen would be so cruel to drive Wen Yufeng out and leave her to fend for herself. He used to treat her like a treasure and never let her do any work since she was a child. He always had good food and clothes to eat and wear. Now that something happened, he knew he couldn't count on her anymore, so he just let her fend for herself.

"The people in the old house are really realistic." Wen Qingcheng sighed.

"Ye Xiuying asked curiously: "Will Yufeng agree? If we break up, where will she live?"

"What if she disagrees? Boss Wen is determined to break off relations with her. If she doesn't leave, she'll be beaten to death by her family."

Song Jiao sighed secretly, "Big Brother and the others are really cruel." Then she thought of something and looked at Wen Zhuo, "Brother Zhuo, didn't you try to persuade them?"

"Their family was afraid of being implicated, and no matter how much I talked, it was useless. I had no choice but to bring Wen Yufeng to our home first."

"Ah?" Song Jiao, Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng said in unison, all of them were shocked.

Wen Zhuo sighed and said, "After all, she is a niece of the same family. This is only a temporary, stopgap measure. If I really let her wander the streets and meet a bad guy who abducts her, wouldn't that be too unfair to my deceased uncle?"

Wen Zhuo was also doing it for the sake of Wen Yufeng's grandfather. After all, he was Wen Zhuo's uncle, and Yufeng had been raised by him since she was a child, so he really couldn't bear it.

Wen Qingcheng could also understand Wen Zhuo's feelings, but in this way, Wen Yufeng's pressure would inevitably be transferred to Wen Zhuo's family. It is not easy to be a good person.

"But uncle, her parents are trying to avoid her and want to cut off all ties with her. If you take her home and the debt collectors come to your house, will you help her pay off the debt?"

Wen Zhuo and Song Jiao also had sad expressions on their faces. Song Jiao said, "Our family can't afford to pay her back that much money."

"We have to let them figure out a way to pay back the money themselves. Maybe my brother is just angry. She is his own daughter, how can he just ignore her? Let Yufeng go back when he calms down." This was what Wen Zhuo planned at the time.

"It's easier said than done. You are not the first to know the people in the Wen family's old house. When Third Wen was in debt from gambling, he sold me to Feng the butcher. What can't these two brothers do?"

Wen Zhuo knew it, and he didn't want to get involved in what was happening over there, but today it involved lives, so he went over there.

"If Big Brother still doesn't let Yufeng go home in a few days, I'll ask Xu Lizheng to mediate."

Song Jiao sighed: "This is the only way for now."
