Chapter 223 Pay back part of the money first
Shen Huai'en saw that she was happy and said, "It is my blessing to have you."
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
It's obviously a good thing to say, but why does it sound wrong?
"Okay, we are both blessed. Is there anything else? Let's go to bed early."
"You should also go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night."
Shen Nanzhi waved his hand with a smile. This guy learns very quickly and can say good morning and good night fluently.
As soon as he left, Shen Nanzhi entered the space. There was still a lot of work to do, such as sorting out the chicks. There were more than a thousand chickens to be raised by the village alone. The villagers were very hardworking and were willing to raise more chickens.
Shen Huai'en stood in the shadow outside. Sure enough, her breath disappeared. Once was a coincidence, but twice?
There must be a problem.
"Butler Huai En, what are you doing here?"
Chen Hu walked out from the corner, surprising Shen Huai'en. Why didn't he feel Chen Hu's presence?
"I'll wait and see if the girl has any instructions. Wait for a while."
Chen Hu stared at him coldly, "No need, Nan Zhi will call you if there is anything. Things in the village are not important, there is no need for so many rules.
Although you are the housekeeper, you are still a young man after all, you should keep your distance from Nan Zhi, do you understand?"
Shen Huai'en raised his chin slightly, his cold face was alienated, and he said: "What do you mean by this, Brother Chen? Are you on guard against me? Do you know, girl?"
Chen Hu said: "Nan Zhi has a good heart and no ulterior motives. She is kind to everyone with all her heart. Even after suffering a loss, she has not changed her warm heart.
I'm her elder brother, I have to help her think about things that she can't consider. If you think what I said is wrong, you can complain to her and see who she listens to?
You can go back now. I will remind Nan Zhi tomorrow to keep a distance from you."
Shen Huai'en's face changed, and after weighing it for a while, he forced out a flattering smile: "Brother Chen, we are both the people the girl trusts the most. We should trust each other and help each other instead of confronting each other. Brother Chen, am I right?"
Chen Hu didn't buy his tricks: "Only if you stay content with your duties and don't think of anything else. I will keep an eye on you. Go back."
Shen Huai'en suppressed his anger. It was the first time someone treated him like this. He couldn't get angry and just bowed and left.
Chen Hu snorted coldly, "You little brat, you are so cunning, do you want to ruin Nan Zhi's reputation?"
We also have to ask him, the eldest brother, whether he agrees.
Shen Nanzhi knew nothing about the confrontation between the two men. He continued to work as usual, and when he was tired, he used his mental energy to do it. The double pressure was also helpful for losing weight.
After that, as usual, I took a bath, had a diet meal, watched the TV series saved on the tablet, and read some books that I bought before but didn’t have time to read. It was another fulfilling night.
It looked like one night, but in fact it was ten nights, which was equivalent to three days outside.
……
Shen Nanzhi's life was busy and fulfilling, and she forgot about Jiang Chen's family.
After the last incident of Jiang's father having an affair, although the villagers didn't say anything openly, the way they looked at them seemed strange, so that the Jiang family members didn't dare to go out.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Xueqing also moved out and lived in Shen Nanzhi's original thatched house, next to the Lin family.
Even though they are close now, the Lin family members don't want to pay attention to her, because she has brought shame upon their family.
The Lin family has a daughter who serves as a concubine and has an unclear relationship with her husband. Who would dare to marry the daughter of the Lin family?
Lin Xueqing's two sisters-in-law both wanted to separate the family and get divorced, and they didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Jiang Chen ignored Lin Xueqing and felt uncomfortable.
Lin Xueqing is really suffering in silence, unable to express her pain. She clearly did nothing, so why should she bear so much blame?
Jiang Xun's children did not follow her back this time, and chose to follow Jiang Chen again, staying in the Jiang family, working obediently and begging for food.
Soon, it was the day that Jiang Chen promised to pay back the money. He fulfilled his promise, set up a few tables of simple meals, and invited the village elders and those who owed money to have dinner.
Village chief Jiang came with his people and looked at the solid blue brick and tile house with a hint of deep meaning. This house was built well. The materials alone cost one hundred taels of silver. It is comparable to the house of the rich man.
This house was built with Miss Shen's dowry money. She really doesn't feel bad about spending her own money!
Village chief Jiang is now wholeheartedly on Shen Nanzhi's side. What a good person she is. Even though the villagers treated her so badly before, she still gave them opportunities and allowed them to buy livestock on credit. She is really a good person.
"Uncle village chief, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Chen led him to sit in the main seat. Judging from the expression of Village Chief Jiang, it didn't look like a good thing.
"Oh, look at your big house. It's the only one of its kind in our village. It's really great."
Everyone else looked dissatisfied. How could it be fair to live in such a nice house without paying back the money?
No matter what, I have to make him spit out the money today.
Jiang Chen's eyes darkened. Is this damn old man going to fight to the death with him?
"Uncle village chief, please excuse me for making fun of you. It's just so-so. Please take a seat. It's just a simple meal. Please don't make fun of me."
One villager couldn't help but say: "The food doesn't matter, Mr. Jiang, you said you would pay us back, why don't you pay us back first, and we will be happier with the food.
I don’t know where the money is now, and even the best food doesn’t taste good.”
"That's right, let's not rush to eat first, let's pay the money first."
Jiang Chen snorted in his heart, they are all stupid, only looking at the immediate benefits. When he becomes rich, these people will not even be worthy of licking his boots.
"Since you all want to talk about paying back the money, I'll just say it straight. This amount of money is not a small sum after all. My plan is to pay back part of it first, which represents my attitude..."
"No, you paid back part of it? Shouldn't you have paid back all of it? Why only part of it? Aren't you deceiving us?"
Everyone exploded instantly. If they hadn't taken his status as a scholar into consideration, they would have wanted to pull him by the collar and beat him up.
Jiang Chen quickly stood up and explained: "Listen to me, I am not saying I won't pay it back. I will take the imperial examination soon, and the travel expenses to Beijing are a huge sum. If I delay the imperial examination, our village will miss a juren master.
I promise everyone that if you are in high school, your family's fertile land will be the first to be registered under my name, and future taxes will be exempted. With such a great benefit, what does a little debt mean? "
Village chief Jiang watched him perform quietly, drank his tea and said nothing. As expected, just as Miss Shen expected, he used the matter of the juren as an excuse again.
Everyone in the village was a little excited. If the village could produce a juren, they would be looked up to by others when they went out, and they would definitely need help from him in the future.
"Village Chief, what do you say?"
The villagers were waiting for the village chief's decision. In fact, they had no opinion of their own. Ever since they sold the land to raise money for Jiang Chen, they had been led by the nose.
