Chapter 704: Collecting the Debt at Their Door!
mess! Give them ten thousand guts and they wouldn't dare come cause trouble. We just wait for tomorrow to collect the silver! Besides, the Big Brother is feeling good, hasn't been off his bed all nig...Mrs. Chen Er was startled and cried out in alarm.
Several men broke in, then stood on either side of the door. Then, a girl of seven or eight years old entered.
The little girl was very plump, with fair skin and bright eyes.
She wore a crimson jacket with embroidered yellow plum blossoms, a moon-white mulberry silk undergarment, and a pomegranate red floral pleated skirt.
Her jet-black hair was adorned with a few crimson blossoms, and red jade pendants hung from her ears, adding to her elegance.
The white fox fur cloak draped elegantly, almost completely enveloping the plump girl within its warmth and beauty.
The three sisters-in-law of the Chen family were all dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, there shouldn't be such an outstanding young girl among their own relatives and friends.
And when one is mourning at home, even if relatives and friends come to visit, one should also wear plain clothes.
This scarlet outfit is simply too out of line!
"Who are you, child Where are your parents and elders Who taught you manners To trespass in the back garden without permission, and to wear such flamboyant colors! How brazen of you!"
Needless to say, this plump girl is Jia Yin.
She came here just to cause trouble and vent her anger, so there's no way she would follow the rules.
She glanced at the crowd in the yard, a sneer on her lips.
"People say the Chen family is as stupid as pigs, and I didn't believe it. Seeing it with my own eyes today, I realize that outsiders are not exaggerating! "
"You, Chen family head's servants, a hundred or so of you carrying a coffin, what bad deeds did you do Don't you have any conscience"
"To actually ask who this county lord is This county lord has come to collect souls as a Rakshasa!"
“You… you’re Princess Kangle” Chen Erfu’s face was complex. She immediately thought of her troublemaking husband who went to the Li family, so she shouted: “What happened to our family You better tell me, or I’ll report this to the Jingzhao Mansion!”
Who are you scaring like a child!
Jia Yin rolled her eyes, impatiently telling them to stop talking and raised her hand to give an order.
Madam Chen suddenly stepped forward and said, "Princess, it was them who were in the wrong for causing trouble at Suijintan. "
"But our family is now in mourning. Please show mercy and allow us to quietly send our grandmother off."
Having said that, she clasped her hands together and bowed her head in greeting.
Jia Yin shook her head, showing no mercy. She said, “You asked me to show you leniency, but when hundreds of your family members carried a coffin to Suijin Beach, did you ask them to show leniency to my Li family”
If not, who gave you the face to be so hypocritical
Mrs. Chen didn't know what "double standard" meant, but she blushed nonetheless and muttered a Buddhist prayer under her breath.
Jia Yin didn't hesitate, shouting loudly, "Smash it! Leave nothing behind! Since the Chen family wants to make our lives miserable, then no one else can live in peace!"
Lao Hei and dozens of others, brandishing the sticks in their hands, rushed into each house and started swinging.
Everything, from vases and dressing tables to screens, was spared nothing!
Bang!
Click!
Crackle!
Suddenly, the entire Chen family courtyard became lively.
Mrs. Chen Er was startled and quickly called for the midwife and maidservants to stop him.
But Lao Hei and the others were all good hands.
Having been beaten up by Chen Jiaren before, he got a chance to get back at him now. Where would he show mercy
Whoever dares to obstruct them, they won't smash objects anymore, they'll smash people!
Thus, all the maids and female servants in the courtyard were running around in panic.
Chen Chuanfu remained silent, only quietly staring at Jiayin.
Her son was killed by Li Lao Si, and the chubby girl before her is Li Lao Si's biological daughter...
If one life for another, it could be considered justice served by fate...
She brought two midwives, taking advantage of the messy courtyard, she sneaked up behind Jia Yin.
At this moment, Jia Yin had only Dong Mei by her side.
Today, Ye Shan went to Zhengjiazhuang on business, while Dongmei stayed at home tidying up the small storeroom.
I originally thought the little master was playing in the back house, having food and drinks and being warm, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
To everyone's surprise, the Chen family showed up at our door demanding something.
Just now, the young mistress wanted to go into the city to vent her anger, she immediately followed behind, just in case.
Who would have thought that there are still people so heartless and brazen!
Mrs. Chen Chuan rushed forward, hands outstretched, just about to clamp down on Jia Yin's neck, when Dong Mei turned around and delivered a powerful kick to her sensitive area, sending her sprawling backward with a cry of pain.
The two gossips were dumbfounded. Before they could react, Dongmei sent them flying with her two feet to join their master.
Jia Yin turned her head and glanced at them, saying simply: "Break her arm, let her learn a lesson."
Winter Plum immediately found a stick and walked over. Without saying a word, she hit Mrs. Chen Chuan's arm twice.
Chen Chuan's wife screamed repeatedly, where there was still the viciousness of the sneak attack just now, her body shrank like a boiled shrimp.
Winter Plum hesitated for a moment, then broke both the old women's arms before she finally pulled back her stick.
Under the eaves, Madam Chen Da and Madam Chen Er, along with some maids in the courtyard, were originally watching secretly, hoping that Jia Yin would be strangled to death. They never expected to see such a tragic sight.
Their faces turned pale with fright, they gritted their teeth and dared not scream.
Soon, Lao Hei and his men ransacked every courtyard, leaving no place in the Chen family's home intact except for Old Lady Chen's spirit tablet.
In front of the Chen family's gate, Chen He's coffin lay across the steps, attracting quite a few idle onlookers.
Before, the Chen family carried a coffin to Suijin Beach to find trouble. Before everyone could know the result, Chen He's coffin was sent back, but not a single Chen family member followed.
Naturally, everyone was curious and wished they had ears that could hear for miles, just to catch a glimpse of what was happening in the Chen family's courtyard.
As a result, they were lucky today.
The dozen or so women guarding the Chen family's gate actually added a huge pile of firewood to everyone's inner gossip fire.
The Chen family carried the coffin to Suijin Beach, causing a disturbance, assaulting officers, and attempting to bury Chen He's coffin in front of the Li family's house. When the county princess got angry, she proactively helped fulfill the Chen family's wish and buried Chen He with them. Later, an imperial decree was issued at court, sentencing the Chen family to six months of hard labor. It was all stated very clearly.
At last, the leader Xiao Cui pointed at the Chen family's gate and said, "The imperial decree clearly states that the Chen family must pay double the compensation for our losses at Suijin Beach."
"Our county princess said that death is a major event, so she sent the Chen family's coffin back and came personally to collect the debt. The Chen family is wicked and disrespectful. They will probably still try to shirk their responsibility!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lao Hei and the others cleared a path, escorting their master out through the back.
Jia Yin glanced at the crowd before her and said, "Not only did the Chen family refuse to pay compensation, but Mrs. Chen San also wanted to kill this county princess. She is truly audacious."
Let's go to Chen's shop and collect the debt!
Having said that, she got into the carriage and, with everyone else, hurried to the commercial street.
The Chen family was a prominent one in Xindu. How could they possibly be unable to come up with compensation money
When smart people heard that the Li family was going to the store, they understood that the Li family was going to continue smashing things!
Everyone wanted to stay and watch the excitement, but also wanted to follow Li's group to the shopping street. For a moment, they wished they could split themselves in two!
On the commercial street, the shops between the clouds still had no idea that such a major event had happened to the owner.
Peng, the shop owner, was greeting customers in the front hall. He occasionally glanced out the door and saw the main family's carriage pass by. Out of curiosity, he chased after it a few steps.
Yet, she found that the county princess had jumped out of the carriage not far away. The people following behind her aggressively rushed into the fabric shop diagonally across from them...n, were all beautifully presented with appealing colors, aromas, and flavors. Accompanied by a pot of wine, everyone chatted and enjoyed the meal, in high spirits.Several boys finished their meals ea...
