The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

When Chen arrived home, her father was leisurely weaving baskets in the yard, and her mother was showing off her good life to the old sisters who came to visit.

Now that their youngest son has become successful, they no longer have to toil in the fields and can eat meat for every meal. Their life is so wonderful.

Regardless of the fact that her old sisters were almost rolling their eyes out of jealousy, Old Lady Chen just cared about having a good time.

Before Chen entered the yard, she deliberately ruffled her hair to look as disheveled as possible, and then started howling at the top of her lungs.

"Oh my god—"

Old Mrs. Chen trembled violently with fear.

When she realized it was her daughter, Mrs. Chen's face darkened instantly and she shouted angrily, "I'm not dead yet! Who are you mourning for?!"

Chen rushed into the yard, sat down on the ground, and burst into tears: "Mom, my youngest brother cheated our boss of the payment for goods and went to the casino to gamble. Now he has lost ten taels and his hands are going to be chopped off!"

Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and fainted.

The older sister next to her pinched her philtrum and asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"

Old man Chen threw away the half-woven basket, stood up suddenly, but had to stagger back into his chair due to dizziness.

Chen rushed over to hold him, crying, "Dad, how much money do we have at home? Please take it all out. We have to go and save my youngest brother!"

Old man Chen looked pale and said in a trembling voice: "But, there is no money left at home."

The youngest son loves gambling and they spoil him, giving him all the money they have to squander.

I thought he had found a legitimate job and would be able to turn over a new leaf, but I didn't expect he would get into such a big mess.

Old Mrs. Chen was finally woken up by her old sister. The first thing she said when she woke up was: "Su Mei, your family must have extra money, take it out and save your brother!"

Chen's maiden name was Chen Sumei.

She resisted the urge to sneer, and said with a sad face: "Mother, my eldest daughter-in-law needs to take medicine every day to regulate her body, my second son has not yet married, and my third son is almost old enough to get married. How can my family afford it? If I could afford it, I would definitely take it!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a purse from her bosom, carefully poured out an ounce and a half of silver from it, and reluctantly handed it to her mother: "This is the money I have saved for my second son to marry, but now I can only use it to save Fusheng."

Old Mrs. Chen took the silver and cried anxiously: "How can I make up the remaining eight and a half taels?!"

Her elder sister said sarcastically, "Go ask your daughter's second wife for a loan. Didn't you say that your youngest child is the one they value the most?"

Old Mrs. Chen didn't hear the sarcasm in her sister's words. She really thought she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly grabbed Chen's arm and nodded, saying, "Yes, Sumei, go borrow some from your sister-in-law. Human life is at stake. They can't just ignore it!"

But Chen burst into tears.

Her parents were shocked.

Chen cried, "Mom, you don't know that I gave a guarantee to the boss in order to find a job for my youngest brother. Now the boss has come to our house and not only told us not to work in the workshop anymore, but also said that he wanted to get back the five taels of silver for the goods, otherwise he would report to the county government."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chen turned pale with fear and said hurriedly, "You can't report it to the police. You absolutely can't report it to the police!"

I heard that no one could escape unscathed from the county government's beating, and some people could be beaten so badly that they could never get out of bed for the rest of their lives.

Old Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She turned her head to look at her old man and said, "Dad, what do you say we should do?"

Old man Chen didn't know what to do.

The eldest son's family is so poor that it is impossible for him to borrow money.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heated, Chen wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, Mom, Fusheng is my youngest brother, I can't just ignore him. I'm going back to the village to beg the second wife, even if I have to kneel down, to lend me another eight and a half taels of silver to save Fusheng!"

Hearing this, the two elders of the Chen family were immediately moved to tears, and said frankly that at critical moments, Su Mei was still reliable.

Before the couple finished their praise, Chen changed the subject and said, "But my family's livelihood is probably gone, and I won't be able to pay back the money in the future."

The old couple were dumbfounded and asked in unison: "What should we do?"

They can't afford it either.

Chen said, "Dad, Mom, while there are still mountain products in the mountains, you can take Fusheng to dig more in the future. Next year, you can plant more chili peppers and beans. The second room can harvest these. In two or three years, the money will be repaid."

Old Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy: "So you're only going to pay one and a half taels?"

Chen suppressed her anger and shed a few tears: "Mom, please understand me. I still have four sons to support. The second branch is the backbone of the village. If I offend them, how can my family live a good life?"

After blowing her nose, she continued, "From now on, my family will have to rush to curry favor with the second wife and work for her family for free. We only hope that they will be kind enough not to let the village chief drive us out of the village. But don't worry, parents, the money for filial piety during the New Year and other festivals will still be the same as before, and it will definitely not be less."

Although the old couple of the Chen family favored the youngest son, they were not as perverted as Mrs. Cao.

After hearing what Chen said, the old couple put themselves in her shoes and thought about it. They suddenly felt that their daughter had a hard time too. After all, she had offended the second wife in the past, and now she was involved in this kind of thing. Her life in the future would probably be even more difficult.

In the end, the old couple had no choice but to agree.

Following Xu Yingtao's teachings, Chen coaxed the old couple into going to the head of the village to write an IOU to Xu Yingtao, to prevent the old couple from turning against them in the future. Only then did she feel at ease to take them back to the village to borrow money.

She is not unfilial, nor is she unwilling to support her parents' home.

Even though her family had lived in hard times in the past, in order to show her filial piety to her parents, she would save money from her teeth and send it to them during the holidays.

But over the years, not only did she not receive any concern from her parents, but she only whetted their appetites.

In fact, Chen had been harboring a lot of dissatisfaction for a long time.

The last time Jiang Zhuzi led people to attack the second house in the middle of the night, it was undoubtedly a wake-up call for her.

She finally realized that if her mother's family's greed was not curbed, her youngest brother would be the next Jiang Zhuzi!

Therefore, she would accept it even if it meant losing one and a half taels of silver.

As for what to do in two or three years, Chen can't care about that much and will just deal with the current issues first!

Although Cherry said that gamblers have the least self-control, this time Chen Fusheng must be taught a lesson so that he will completely give up the idea of gambling, otherwise it will become a bottomless pit that can never be filled in the future.

As for what the lesson was, she didn't dare ask.

The old couple of the Chen family were too embarrassed to follow Chen into Nanxi Village, and were only willing to wait at the entrance of the village.

Chen borrowed eight and a half taels of silver from Xu Yingtao, and hurried to Yong'an Town with her parents and her husband.

By the time the family rushed to the casino, it was almost dusk.

However, when they saw Chen Fusheng, both of his hands had been chopped off by the casino thugs.

Old Mrs. Chen fainted on the spot.

Chen was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Thinking of what Xu Yingtao said about teaching her youngest brother a lesson, Chen felt afraid of Xu Yingtao for the first time.

But this time she wrongly blamed Xu Yingtao.
