Chapter 244: All for Nothing
“Dagui, you’ve misunderstood it all.” Chen Laoer quickly smiled. “There are so many people in your village. No one would have the guts to come to your village and beat people up so brazenly. Don’t you think so?” As he spoke, he kicked Chen Laoba, “Hurry up and apologize to Dagui! Look at what you’ve done!”
Chen Laoba immediately knelt down and begged Xue Dagui, “Dagui, please let me go. Don’t report this to the authorities. If you do, I’ll be finished. I just want to have a son to inherit my family line, who wouldn’t want that? Seeing that I don’t have any bad intentions toward you, can you let me go, huh?”
“What do you mean by not having any bad intentions towards me? You were hoping that I would die early so that you and Zhang Meili can become a family! I heard everything!” Xue Dagui shouted.
When Chen Laoba heard this, he immediately realized that he had been exposed. Xue Dagui had heard the conversation he had with Zhang Meili on the slope outside the Chen family Village, and his heart sank.
He cried and begged, even getting on his knees to appease the situation.”Let me go, I beg you, let me go. Please!”
At this moment, Chen Laoer spoke again in a kind tone, “It was very tough but we’ve pooled together some money, sixty-six silver. This is what we have gathered from our family’s savings. We’ve even taken out our parents’ will money. As long as you let Chen Laoba go and don’t pursue this matter or report it to the authorities, this money will be yours. Deal?”
As he spoke, Chen Laoer took out the 66 pieces of silver that were wrapped in cloth. He spread them out for everyone to see, indicating that he was not lying.
“That’s right, that’s right, Dagui. Chen Laoba was outrageous to do such a thing and we feel greatly embarra.s.sed. But we’re begging you, please spare Chen Laoba’s life.” Chen Laosan and the others also smiled pitifully and bowed. They had lived for so long, but this was the first time they had to be so humble.
“Sixty-six silver? Woah!” Xue Dagui’s eyes immediately turned to money, and he drooled.
Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan also glanced at Jiang Yue.
Both of them knew that Xue Dagui could be easily convinced. It seemed like there was no need to report this to the authorities.
Many people had never seen so much silver before. Many people’s eyes lit up, and they couldn’t take their eyes off it.
Xue Sifu also saw this and immediately went to pull his uncle back, somewhat resentful that he didn’t live up to his expectations, “Hey!”
“Hehe! Money!” Xue Dagui laughed without even looking at him. His eyes were still fixed on the 66 silver.
Xue Sifu, who had always smiled at everyone, was so angry that he almost choked. “I’ve wasted my time on him! He’s a hopeless case!”
When Chen Laoer saw Xue Dagui’s expression, he knew that he had a chance to live. So he immediately continued, “You’ve raised Zhuzi for so many years, and you’ve spent money on marrying Meili. Also, Chen Laoba and Meili were definitely in the wrong. We’re all just as appalled. I know that this might not seem like much, but you should know that we’re all farmers. How can we have more silver? We’ve really emptied our pockets and have nothing left. Dagui, please do me a favor, huh? Our parents will be turning ninety next year. If something happens to Chen Laoba, they’ll be in big trouble.”
In the end, Chen Laoer also started begging and getting on his knees.
Chen Laosan and the others also cooperated and begged.
“Good, good, good.” Xue Dagui was overjoyed and agreed without a second thought. His eyes were still fixed on the 66 silver in Chen Laoer’s hands as he kept saying “Okay, okay.”
“Xue Dagui!” Chief Lu was really disappointed.
