Hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but immediately retorted, "Cousin, is your door made of gold or silver? Do you have to break it down with money to get in?"
Facing Chen Yan's sarcasm, the cousin's face looked embarrassed, but she had also seen how powerful Chen Yan was.
So she didn't dare to talk to Chen Yan. She just said to the old lady expressionlessly, "Old lady, although our brother Shu is a bit stupid, he didn't steal or rob or break the law. We The family is also a decent family, so if there is no benefit at all for us to take her in, it doesn’t make sense.”
The old lady just sighed silently. She obviously couldn't let go of Chen Yan, so she just silently took off an jade bracelet on her wrist. She originally wanted to give the bracelet to the other party and let the other party take good care of Chen Yan. Yan.
However, when Chen Yan saw that her grandmother only took the bracelet that she never left behind, she became very dissatisfied.
She barely waited for the other party to take the bracelet before she snatched it away.
My cousin jumped in the air and felt very unhappy, "Old madam, look at how rude this girl is. She dares to grab whatever you give me!"
After hearing her cousin's complaint, the old lady could only helplessly say to Chen Yan, "Yan'er, just give her the things. As long as she can take good care of you, I will have no regrets."
However, when Chen Yan heard this, she immediately said, "I don't want her to take care of me! This bracelet is your only valuable thing. You also said that this is our family's heirloom. In this case, this thing has to be passed down." It can only be passed to me, not to someone with a foreign surname like her."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
"Old madam, since your family doesn't even have a dowry, it's impossible for me to let my son marry her."
When the cousin saw what Chen Yan said, she immediately threatened to retreat.
At the same time, she immediately tried to pull Cousin Shu away, thinking that the old woman would stop her.
Before the old lady could react, Cousin Shu immediately started making a fuss when he heard his mother's words, "Mother is bad! I want to marry my cousin! Mother is bad!"
While talking, cousin Shu not only refused to leave, but instead just started to fight like a naughty child.
Looking at her son's behavior, the woman obviously had a headache.
There was just a fuss in the lobby.
And today may also be the day of bad luck.
Just when a group of them were making a fuss over this.
The mother-in-law outside only delivered another piece of news. She immediately said, "Old lady, people outside came in to make trouble. They said that the eldest lady owed money to their family, and now they are clamoring for the eldest lady to return it. .”
Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but glance at Chen Yan. Chen Yan, who was making a fuss just now, couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Didn't you agree to return it in a month? Why did they come here so quickly?"
Then Chen Yan only said to the servant girl who came in to talk, "Tell them, I will definitely pay them back in a month."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the group of creditors who came to collect debts broke into Chen Yan's house directly. "We won't agree to it after one month. Who doesn't know that your house has nothing now? We don't I’m willing to lend it to you, please pay me back quickly!”
"Yes! There is no negotiation about paying back the money!"
Seeing a group of people stepping onto the door of the Chen family, my cousin, who originally wanted to consider it, immediately felt that if she regarded Chen Yan as her daughter-in-law, their family would definitely become a debt-ridden existence, so before this group of people denounced Chen Yan, Yan, she just immediately dragged her son away by force.
But Chen Yan only cared about appeasing the debt collectors, and at the moment they didn't even care about their cousin aunt who had left.
Although the old lady saw her cousin aunt leave, she also knew that she could no longer let the other party take Chen Yan in, so she could only sigh silently and watch the other party leave.
When Chen Yan saw this group of creditors coming to her door, she looked very unhappy, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you? Will I pay you back in a month? Why are you here making trouble now!" "
However, in the face of Chen Yan's reprimand, the creditors just said expressionlessly, "After thinking about it, we still think we can't lend you this money!"
"Yes! If you take the money and run away, where will we find you?"
"Yes, we heard that you didn't do business at all with the money you borrowed from us. Instead, you used our money to redeem your old sweetheart."
In the court room, everyone was chattering away, and their voices almost covered up Chen Yan's voice.
Hearing the shouting of this group of people, the old lady couldn't help but sigh and said, "Don't get excited, everyone. If we have anything to do, we can sit down and talk about it slowly. Don't worry, we won't default on your money. Let's discuss it carefully." "
When the old lady said she would pay back the money, the group of people stopped being so excited.
They took their seats.
The old lady just motioned to the maid next to her to make tea for the guests.
After the eldest maid left, the old lady said to the group of people, "Okay, you can talk one by one now. I will ask the housekeeper to make statistics to see how much this girl owes you. We will all pay it back."
Upon hearing what the old lady said, this group of people immediately started counting Chen Yan's liabilities. As for Chen Yan's liabilities, except for the five thousand taels that were borrowed in cash, almost all the other money was used by Chen Yan to eat, drink and have fun. from.
After all, the confiscation of her home was too sudden, and she had always used the pattern of signing a month's worth of bills and then settling the bills before going out to eat, drink, and have fun.
In the first half of this month, she didn't know that such a thing would happen in her home, so she just ate, drank and had fun as usual.
That's why the bills she received from outside this month totaled as much as ten thousand taels of silver.
Seeing the bill, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
How can they come up with so much money in the current situation in their house?
The old lady couldn't help but sigh when she heard the amount, but she didn't mean to blame Chen Yan at the moment. She just whispered to the housekeeper, "Go and check how much valuable money we have. Can we pay it back?" Bit by bit.”
After receiving the old lady's order, the housekeeper responded and then hurriedly retreated.
The old lady never looked at Chen Yan.
In the past, her granddaughter would come to see her every time she owed a debt. She would help the other party pay off her debt every time.
However, this time it was clear that this was her last debt repayment.
If the other party has such debts again in the future, it will be impossible for her to pay off the other party's debts.
She may not even be able to pay off her debt this time.
And just when the old lady was thinking about paying back the money.
The butler finally arrived after counting the belongings. He whispered a not-so-pretty number into the old lady's ear.
"Old Madam, you only have one hundred taels of silver in your warehouse now." 138 Reading Network
As soon as she heard this, the old lady's face didn't look too good.
"how so?"
That's her dowry.
As soon as the others heard what the other party said, they immediately started making a fuss again, "Old madam, you won't be able to get our money, right?"
The old lady sighed, "It's not like I can't get it out. Please take these one hundred taels first. As long as you give me a few more days of grace, I will definitely return your money."
However, although the old lady repeatedly emphasized that she would return the money. But he could only get one hundred taels, and there were so many people on site to divide it up. Obviously, few people were willing to leave at the moment.
"Old madam, that's not what you said just now. You said you would pay back the money immediately!"
"Old madam, we are still waiting for this money to be used urgently."
"Old madam, we won't leave if you don't tell us."
Seeing that the dispute could not be settled, the old lady sighed, and then she just said to Chen Yan, "Yan'er, help me pawn my bracelet. It should be worth several thousand yuan."
However, Chen Yan shook her head at the old lady's suggestion.
"Grandma, this bracelet cannot be used as a gift."
After the words fell, Chen Yan, who originally refused to pay back a penny, had no choice but to take out five thousand taels of silver.
"Here are five thousand taels, which can settle half of the debt. I will make up for the rest of the debt in a few days. You have also seen that our family is in this situation now. If you are willing to give me time, I will pay the debt regardless of everything. It’s fine, but if you force me to settle the debt again and make trouble again, then I’m sorry, I won’t repay even one cent of this debt!”
After hearing Chen Yan's words and seeing that she had taken out at least five thousand taels of silver, everyone took the five thousand taels of silver and retreated one after another.
After Chen Yan sent those people away, she immediately came to her grandmother's side. She said very sadly, "Grandma, you scold me. It's all my fault. I spent all your money." ”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the old lady just sighed.
Naturally, she knew in her heart that Chen Yanhua's head was actually small, and the real big head was spent by Chen Yan's father.
So she couldn't bear to blame Chen Yan, "Yan'er, I don't blame you this time, but I hope you won't live like this again in the future."
When Chen Yan heard this, she naturally nodded immediately, "Grandma, I know everything. Don't worry. I will never do this again."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, the grandmother nodded with relief, "If you can say that, I feel relieved."
Then she took out the bracelet in her hand and said, "Yan'er, this bracelet can still be worth several thousand, you can pawn it."
However, in response to her grandmother's suggestion, Chen Yan just shook her head repeatedly, "No, grandma, I can't do this. This bracelet can't be used."
"Silly boy, listen to your grandmother. If you pawn this bracelet first, it will be the same if you redeem it later when we are better."
However, Chen Yan repeatedly denied her grandmother's suggestion, "Grandma, you don't need to use it as your bracelet, I mean it!"
However, Chen Yan's grandmother obviously did not believe Chen Yan's words.
