Chapter 199: Jiang Fugui
"Move to my house first! Your yard hasn't been decorated yet. Since you are already a family, you can move in. Although the house is shabby, at least there are three rooms, so you don't have to worry about having no place to live."
Jiang Tao knew that Jiang Fugui could not accept it for the time being, but no matter what, Jiang Fugui would be his son in the future.
Jiang Fugui opened his mouth, but he couldn't say "Dad".
"Then thank you grandpa for your help. We will move there now!" Jiang Youzhen called him that easily. She had no feelings for Jiang Fugui anyway.
"Oh!" Jiang Tao was very happy.
When the old man heard their conversation, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Jiang Youzhen helped Jiang Fugui back to his house, while Jiang Tao went back to pack up and asked someone to help move things.
As soon as she reached the door of the house, she found that Brother Qin was still there. When he saw her coming, he smiled at her.
"Second Young Master Jiang, nice to meet you!" Second Brother Qin bowed to her.
"Dad! You go in first!" Jiang Youzhen didn't expect Qin Er to be waiting for her here, but she had already guessed his purpose.
Jiang Fugui frowned upon seeing this and hesitated to speak.
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen had already walked over, he looked worried, but still turned around and went back to the house.
"I would like to thank Second Brother Qin for his help this time, otherwise it would not have been so smooth." Jiang Youzhen said as he took out a five-liang silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"It's getting late, buy some wine for the brothers now."
"Then thank you, Second Young Master Jiang. Today's matter is just a piece of cake. I have always admired scholars. Second Young Master is very thoughtful, resourceful and decisive, which makes us admire him even more! If you have any inconvenience in the future, I, Qin Er, am willing to help you."
Jiang Youzhen smiled. He referred to Jiang Er Shao Ye as the Second Young Master, then the Second Young Master, and then the Young Master. This person is really good at building relationships. I didn't expect that a man of such size and stature could be so meticulous.
Qin Er was very good at judging people. The young man in front of him was no ordinary person. If he established a good relationship with him now, he would definitely benefit greatly in the future.
He came here today because he heard that Jiang Haiqing was going to take the silver and run away. Today was the ten-day deadline, so he immediately rushed to Qinghe Village.
But some of the things that happened afterwards made him feel that it was too coincidental. Now that he thought about it, it was just a trap set by this kid.
But what does this have to do with him? As long as he gets the money, it's fine. Not to mention that he has made a good relationship!
"Brother Qin is a man of great integrity and a man of great character. If there are any inconveniences in the future, I will have to rely on Brother Qin to take care of me."
Jiang Youzhen said this, but in his heart he felt that it was not a good job for this person to help collect loan sharking money. After all, cutting off arms at will was against the law.
Even if that person has a backer, that backer will eventually fall. It is better not to associate with such a person unless necessary.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!" Brother Qin turned around and left in a very casual manner.
Jiang Youzhen turned around and went back into the house, and saw Jiang Fugui sitting at the table in a daze. The three sisters and Shen were silent, standing aside, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
"Mom! Pack up and let's move to Eighth Grandpa's house!" Jiang Youzhen started packing as soon as he returned.
She didn't have the heart to care about Jiang Fugui's mood now. The family had bought a lot of things during this period. Although her own valuables were all in the space, her sister's dowry still needed to be moved.
"Move my sister's dowry into the new house first and lock it. Move all the daily necessities to Eighth Grandpa's house. We'll live there for half a month or so, and then we can move into the new yard."
Shen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Si Ya was a little anxious and asked, "Erlang, what do you mean? Is the adoption really done?"
"Yes! Did your grandfather agree?" Shen found it unbelievable. She didn't think that the old man was reluctant to give up his family, but that he was reluctant to give up his money.
"My uncle's arm is much more important than my father's. We will go to the government to change our household registration tomorrow. Eighth Grandpa has already started to pack up. We will move over after dinner. We are not allowed to live here anymore!"
"Okay!" Shen and the others sighed. They didn't expect it would come to this.
"Let's eat first!" Shen wanted to comfort Jiang Fugui, but she had a lot of things to do right now, so she turned and went into the kitchen.
"Erlang, was this what happened today planned by you?" Jiang Fugui suddenly asked.
"Why would Dad ask that? Could I have guessed that Qin Er was here to collect the debt?" Jiang Youzhen smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Jiang Fugui glanced at Jiang Youzhen and met Jiang Youzhen's deep gaze. He suddenly felt very frustrated as a father.
"That second brother Qin, do you know him? Otherwise why would he look for you?" He couldn't believe that Jiang Youzhen would plan all this, but when he thought about it carefully, it was too much of a coincidence.
"Do you think he came to see me? He just felt that he had been delayed for too long today and his men hadn't eaten, so he asked me for money! For this, I gave him five taels of silver, which was considered as money to avoid trouble."
Jiang Youzhen put the dishes on the table, speaking in a nonchalant tone. Although it was okay to tell Jiang Fugui, Jiang Fugui was too foolishly filial, so he was bound to feel uncomfortable.
"Dad! Why do you say that it was Erlang who planned this? Erlang shouldn't study? That uncle owed so much money, was it Erlang who asked him to borrow it? He didn't have the money to pay it back, so Erlang had to help, otherwise he would have lost his arm.
They came to collect the debt, that is, the ten-day period has expired, isn't it normal to come to collect the debt? And that Zhou, was it also someone Erlang found for my uncle?"
Si Ya, who brought the food, was very angry when she heard this. In her heart, Erlang had contributed too much to this family.
"Mother said that once he was adopted by Eighth Grandfather's family, Erlang would have no way to avoid the corvée in the future. But why was Erlang willing to be adopted? Wasn't it to make everyone live a good life? You are so suspicious of her now, how sad Erlang must be?"
Si Ya put the dishes on the table and sat down angrily.
"Dad! Don't you know what kind of person Erlang is? Don't you know how Grandpa has treated you over the years? He sold you to Eighth Grandpa for Uncle's arm, and you're still thinking about him?"
San Ya was also very angry. This father was really stubborn.
"I think it's a good idea to be adopted by Eighth Grandpa. Eighth Grandpa treats us better than Grandpa does." This time even the docile Arya was angry. Could it be that Grandpa had drugged Dad, and he was so devoted to her?
"I...that's not what I meant. I just can't come to terms with it for the moment." Jiang Fugui became the target of public criticism and felt that he had hurt Erlang, so he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Dad! I can understand. After all, he is the one who gave birth to you and raised you. Even though he may not be good to you, he has worked hard for you. So I don't actually plan to ask them to pay back the thirty taels. I just want to restrain them! Just treat it as a last favor!"
As soon as Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, he saw Jiang Fugui heaved a sigh of relief.
