In less than an hour, Chen Shengda hurried back to the mansion. He heard from the steward that his parents and two younger brothers had all come home. He was stunned at the time.

It’s not that he didn’t receive the letter from his father, in which his father told him to arrange a house and yard for him in the capital.

What else did he say about selling the family fortune? Chen Shengda was speechless. He really wanted to ask his father, how could a weak scholar like him secretly sell hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain at home?

Oh! He has made up his mind. He will not go home but work as an official in the capital. He will get promoted and become rich in a few years.

He knew that his family had a fortune. He had studied for so many years and didn't want to covet any of the family fortune, so he divided it among his two younger brothers.

The two younger brothers cannot suffer any loss. They have taken so much of the family fortune. Isn’t it good for them to use it to support their elderly parents?

When he becomes rich in the future, he will give some money to his parents for support. Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, their whole family comes to Beijing!

He knew that Jun'an County was going to send people to build a dam this time. If he accepted the job, he could also go back to his hometown to build a dam, which would be a proud thing.

But what if he messed up his job? He had no experience and was worried that he would not be able to repair the dam.

Another thing is that he had just married Pan Qiaoyun, and she was too clingy in that aspect. If he went back to his hometown, she would definitely follow him. Maybe Pan had been in trouble for the past three years. Since they got married, she wanted to make trouble every night. Fortunately, she still had her period, otherwise he would have been exhausted!

So he gave up this opportunity. He knew that if he did a good job in building the dam, he would definitely be appreciated by His Majesty and get promoted and make a fortune! But at the same time, he might lose his official position...

Chen Shengda, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, returned home and hurried to the backyard. Pan Qiaoyun looked at Chen Shengda with a gloomy face.

Pan Qiaoyun originally thought that she was a widow with a child who married Chen Shengda, so she would always be more gentle in her attitude towards men.

But at this moment, she couldn't pretend anymore. Pan Qiaoyun's voice was filled with anger: "Husband, didn't I give you one thousand taels of silver and asked you to send the money back to your hometown and appease the poor relatives at home so that they would not bother us again? Why did they still come?

Humph! My father once said that if I found a peasant from the countryside, there would be countless poor relatives asking for money, but I didn’t believe it! "

Chen Shengda has been working hard every night recently and has obviously lost weight. When he came back today, he was so anxious that his legs became weak and he slumped in the chair. Although he also felt that his parents and brothers should not come, Pan Qiaoyun's attitude was completely different from the past, which made him a little angry!

Chen Shengda has been reading books of sages since he was young. He believes that women should be gentle and virtuous, just like Shen who is obedient to him in everything!

At this moment, Pan Qiaoyun made Chen Shengda feel a little uncomfortable: "Madam, the money you gave me happened to coincide with a colleague's family having problems, so I paid a few favors and gave a few gifts, but those connections were used up and I didn't have time to take it home.

Besides, Madam, if you marry me, you will be the daughter-in-law of my Chen family. When my parents come, you should respect them. How can you say such a thing? What do you mean by poor relatives coming to ask for money?

Aren't you supposed to respect my parents, be friendly to my sisters-in-law, and be on good terms with my uncles? How can I serve as an official in the court if you are like this?"

Chen Shengda unconsciously brought out his brainwashing remarks to Pan Qiaoyun.

Pan Qiaoyun felt that her brain was not enough. Did she think that her intelligence had dropped? Or did this top scholar read too many books?

She looked at the man who was loving and affectionate with her every night, and unconsciously raised her voice: "Who am I? I am a daughter of an official family... a real daughter of a rich family. Although I was a widow when I married you, it was because my husband died on the battlefield, leaving us mother and son behind!

I'm not trying to marry above my station. I'm only 25 years old, which is the perfect age for me. We are a well-matched marriage.

How can you let me serve your parents? You are also friendly to the village women and sisters-in-law. What are their status? They are just mud legs. How can they be on an equal footing with me? "

Chen Shengda was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? Marry a chicken and follow the chicken; marry a dog and follow the dog. Madam, don't you understand this sentence? The me you married is the son of a peasant, and you are the daughter-in-law of a peasant family. Shouldn't you respect your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Pan Qiaoyun sneered: "Oh! Husband, do you think that if my Pan family didn't support you, the Ministry of Revenue would use you as the Minister of Revenue?

Without our family, at best you would be sent to a remote place and become a seventh-rank county magistrate. Do you think you can become an official in Beijing?

Do you think that the connections my father has made for you are free of money? What do your parents have? Why should I honor them? Have they made any contribution to me?"

Although Chen Shengda knew about the interests, he couldn't stand it when his wife said it so nakedly. He blushed and said, "Pan, if you have such thoughts, then you can live with it if you can, but if you can't, just get a divorce!"

Pan Qiaoyun couldn't stand it anymore and smashed the teacup with a bang: "You actually want to divorce me for the sake of your poor relatives. Let me tell you... your mansion will fall apart without me... wuwuwu..."

Pan Qiaoyun thoroughly exposed the current situation of Zhuangyuan Mansion. Chen Shengda was so angry that he pushed away the woman who threw herself into his arms and tore him apart, and walked out of the main courtyard with unsteady steps!

Before Chen Shengda even entered the side yard, he heard noisy sounds and the sound of children crying!

He knew it was his stepson Chen Wentong as soon as he heard the child crying heartbreakingly. He rushed into the yard regardless of everything and saw Chen Wentong being pinned to the ground and beaten by two boys and a girl, making him scream in agony!

Chen Shengda rushed over in rage, pulled the two boys and one girl apart, and kicked the older boy!

He held Chen Wentong in his arms and coaxed him gently: "Wentong, be good and don't cry! Let daddy see what's wrong? Why did you fight with them?"

Chen Wentong is Pan Qiaoyun's son. He is eight years old this year. The first thing he did after returning from the Imperial College today was to let his little rabbit out to run and play in the yard. As a result, the little rabbit ran out of the yard and ran to the side yard. He searched all the way there and found that the little rabbit had been caught by these three children.

No matter how he asked for the two boys, they refused to give them to him. Later, he got angry and started fighting with the two boys. Later, the girl joined in. The three children beat him up and his face was covered with blood from the nose.

Chen Wentong cried and said, "Daddy, these three beggars caught my rabbit and said it was their prey and they were going to roast it and eat it. I asked them for it but they wouldn't give it to me. Where did these three beggars come from? Hurry up and sue the government... Wow... Wow..."

Chen Shengda was holding his son and coaxing him gently when he suddenly heard a roar!

"Boss! Who is this kid?"
