Chen Wei is not angry. Although he sympathizes with the original owner after fusing his memory, he has no personal experience of many things and cannot feel the same feelings.
Mr. Chen gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and his sister-in-law married other villages. The three sons and their parents lived together in this farmyard.
Uncle is a scholar. In the Ming Dynasty, the scholar was a noble person. Uncle is naturally the pillar of the family. Uncle and Aunt are sweet. They are the youngest son of the old man and the old woman, and naturally they are also loved.
Only his own parents, his father is dull and honest, and he always suffers from boredom in his ordinary life.
Chen's ancestors had ten mu of farmland, two mu of which were donated and annexed, and now there are eight mu of farmland, including three mu of fertile farmland for uncle's family, three mu of medium farmland for uncle's family, and two mu of barren farmland for his family.
My father not only wants to plant his own farmland, but also helps my uncle's farm. Now my parents have not returned yet, they are helping my uncle's plant seedlings.
Facing his grandmother's accusation, Chen Wei calmly asked Chen Boren: "Uncle, if I go to work as a servant outside Ningyuan, will it be worth thirty-three taels of silver?"
Chen Biren said, "It's not worth it."
Chen Wei said, "That still hasn't solved the problem. Isn't it no use selling me to Ningyuan?"
Chen Biren was confused for a moment: "This..."
Grandma hummed: "Your uncle is a scholar. There are several relatives and friends in the city. You should be glad to find such a compromise. If not, you can't afford to wear it in prison!"
Looking at this mean grandmother, Chen Wei can hardly imagine how the original owner spent 15 years with her.
Chen Wei coughed gently twice. The original owner was very ill, but he didn't know what ailment he was. He didn't think about it so much at the moment. He thought about it for a moment, and said flatly, "I didn't expect to break a vase, but it would have such serious consequences."
Grandma scolded, "If only you knew!"
"This is the deed of betrayal. You signed it."
As she said this, she took out the deed of sale that her uncle had already drawn up and handed it to Chen Wei.
"What a deed of betrayal!"
At this time, three people came in from outside, Chen Wei's father Chen Zhongyi, his mother Li Shi, and his sister Chen Xiu.
My mother stood in front of Chen Wei in a rage and shouted, "What a deed of self betrayal!"
"My son doesn't sign any indenture of betrayal!"
"Mother, if you want to sell yourself, there are not many sons in the eldest brother's family and the third brother's family? Just choose one and sell it."
Chen Wei was picked up by Li Shi 15 years ago. Although she was not born, she had already regarded Chen Wei as her own flesh and blood. She was eager to protect the calf. No matter what filial piety was, she directly contradicted her grandmother.
The grandmother turned red with anger and pointed to her father, Chen Zhongyi, and said, "Second child, take care of your daughter-in-law!"
His father, Chen Zhongyi, took a look at the angry Li family and said in a low voice, "Mother, my mother-in-law is right."
"The eldest brother and the third younger brother have many sons. You can choose them to sell."
Chen Wei is surprised that his father, who has always been a wooden and filial father, can say such words at this time.
Grandmother cried, "It's against the sky, it's against the sky!"
"It's very useful to raise children. Let's see how useful it is!"
The neighbors immediately began to point and whisper.
The uncle hummed: "Second brother, don't tell me why you didn't remind you. Your son made this mistake. If he doesn't sell it to Ning Yuan's house, he will go to jail to become a coolie."
"How long can he live in prison as a coolie?"
The eldest aunt said harshly, "It's not a kiss anyway. Who can you pretend to show it to?"
The old woman said angrily, "Don't you just break a bottle? We'll pay for it!"
The uncle said faintly, "The blue and white porcelain of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is worth thirty-three taels of silver!"
When I heard so much money, my mother suddenly withered. My family only has two acres of land. It can only sell ten liang of silver a year without eating or drinking. It's not necessary to save three or five liang of silver a year, regardless of the family's expenses, let alone to supplement my uncle and his wife with silver every year?
At this time, the father's face also showed panic. He looked at the uncle with a bitter face and said: "Brother, I think it is feasible to owe this money?"
The uncle said angrily, "What can I do?"
"Forget it. Since I am kind, I will not be such a good man. I will tell my friend to report to the official."
Hearing this, Father Chen subconsciously knelt down.
A pair of calm hands held him. Chen Wei did not know when he had come to Chen's father. He said softly, "Don't kneel, let's deal with it."
Chen Wei can see that neither his father nor his mother has ever regarded him as an outsider.
At this time, the mother's eyes were full of tears.
Chen Wei stands in front of his parents and sister, facing the crowd alone.
Chen's father and mother were a little confused. Their son was protecting the family with his weak body!
Chen Wei glanced at Chen Boren and asked, "Uncle, who broke the vase, will be sold?"
The uncle nodded, "Why not?"
Chen Wei said, "Then why are you sure that I broke it?"
The uncle said impatiently, "Who has entered my study except you?"
Chen Wei said: "Things are so arbitrary without evidence. In the words of your scholars, it's insulting people's innocence. What if it's not me?"
"I remember that you scholars should bow and apologize, right?"
Chen Boren said shamelessly, "If you didn't do it, I wronged you. I not only apologize to you, but also kneel down to apologize to you!"
Chen Wei gave a hum, walked out of the door slowly, waved to the little son of the uncle's family who was playing in the yard, and said, "Come here, little pheasant."
"Tell your father who broke the vase in his room."
A five-year-old boy came here heartlessly. He was the youngest son of the uncle's family.
The little pheasant hurriedly said, "Dad, I broke the vase. What's the matter?"
Chen Biren's face suddenly changed. His grandparents and aunts were even more shocked. People around looked like they were watching a play.
An hour ago, in the afternoon, Chen Wei heard the sound of broken vases in Uncle's study.
He went to see it. He saw the little pheasant who had just broken the vase. He told the little pheasant that as long as he admitted it, he would buy sugar for him tomorrow, and said that it was an agreement between them and could not be told to others.
That's why it happened.
The big aunt shouted, "Little bastard! What are you talking about?"
The little pheasant hurriedly said: "Mom, it's really the vase I broke. I went to the study this afternoon to look for my father. When I saw the vase, I started to play."
"The vase cut my hand and I broke it."
"Look, my hands are broken. That vase is so disgusting!"
Fortunately, when he passed through, the time moved two hours ahead.
Fortunately, he prepared for the counterattack early.
Chen Wei was helpless when he thought that the original owner was finally forced to prove his innocence by death.
There are many ways to solve things. Even if he didn't travel two hours earlier, he wouldn't do such a silly thing.
Chen Wei looks at his uncle and finds that his face is blue and red. His aunt, grandmother and grandfather are not very good-looking. They are all grief stricken.
