Hearing Lu Jinfeng's words, everyone fell silent.
They couldn't rule out the possibility. If the Madam Niu didn't know that there was gold under their old house, why did they make such a scene and force them to give up? He was even afraid that they would not compromise and smash their old house into pieces, cutting off their retreat.
If soaking the Madam Li in Pig Cage was a method to force them to go back on their words, then this Madam Niu was not as simple as he looked.
Chen Ergou shook his head: "He is an evil person to begin with, yet he is full of schemes and schemes. With such a person in his family, he must force his wife to scatter, and his family to die."
Hearing that, both Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng looked at him in silence, not saying a word.
Who said that their entire family would not be destroyed by the Madam Niu?
"Fortunately, back then, she had despised you." Chen Mu laughed lightly, revealing a look of relief, "Otherwise, you would have to live with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to live peacefully right now."
Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng both nodded. Having an old man who was good at inciting trouble from others, it was indeed not as good as being constantly despised by her. At the very least, they had gotten rid of the bad luck of being entangled by a dog.
Chen Ergou clapped his hands: "Then it is, anyway, the gold is the root of disaster, and since Madam Niu wanted to snatch it away no matter what, then let her take it. After all, ever since that old house was taken away by her, the things over there no longer have anything to do with us. "
Chen Ergou was straightforward, but it was simple and reasonable. The few of them looked at each other, and all agreed with him.
The fact that a hundred thousand taels of gold was stolen by the Madam Niu had nothing to do with how it was used or the risks it would bring later on.
had originally wanted to help build a house, but who would have thought that he would be able to find ten boxes of gold and two big boxes of jewelry at the base.
With so much money suddenly in his possession, Lu Quanquan straightened his back and could not keep his mouth open for a long time. He was also generous and said that everyone who saw him had a share, so he really gave everyone present a present — a silver tael for each person.
Naturally, his family did not have that much broken silver. Madam Luo took a gold ingot to the town that day to exchange for broken silver.
He suddenly became rich in one night, and his actions were only a drop in the bucket of silver.
However, to the rural people, one tael of silver for each person was already quite generous. It was enough for a family to reap the harvest for a year!
The people who helped out with the work were not too happy. For the gold that they had found together, why did Lu Daquan take such a big head but only give them this little bit of silver?
Ten chests of gold and two chests of jewelry. At least give them a gold ingot or a piece of jewelry, right?
A man's desire will not be satisfied, so he became annoyed when he received the silver.
"Lu Daquan, we found the gold and jewels together, so why did you give us a tael of silver to exchange with?"
"This is too little! He's treating us like beggars!"
"10,000 taels of gold? Just one tael of silver! We were digging and moving just now, how ungrateful!"
As the helpers shouted, the Lu family's blood brothers and the Madam Niu's blood brothers heard this and became dissatisfied.
"Wan of the Clouds, you have so much money on you, any amount of it is enough for us to eat for a few years, why are you so stingy!"
"Lu Daquan, Luo Lili, do you know how our uncles have treated your family all these years? "You can go even if it's just one tael of silver?"
"Niu Baichu, once you have money, you won't acknowledge anyone of your own kin, right?" "We'll split this amount of money. If you ever need anything from us in the future, don't ask our parents for help!"
Everyone started to cheer. Lu Daquan, Madam Luo and the Madam Niu all had ugly expressions on their faces.
These twelve boxes belonged to their family. So what if they owned their own belongings? What was the point of these people making a ruckus?
In this world, there was no such thing as a free lunch. These people coveted their money and wanted to take the opportunity to extort it, but how could they give their money away as a favor!
Before Lu Daquan even dared to speak, the Madam Niu had already let out a cold laugh and said, "You all are well aware of who exactly this money belongs to. How long will one tael of silver be enough for you to eat? I'm not satisfied with giving it to you all for free, your blood brothers are already settling the score! A human's heart is not worth swallowing an elephant! "
With Madam Niu's reminder, the Madam Luo became furious. Her mother was not in Xingyu Village, and the person who started the commotion did not have her family members, so naturally, she did not have to stand or talk much. With a cold snort, she stepped forward and took back the silver from the hands of the leading men.
"Since it is too little, then I will not take it anymore!" This money belongs to our family, we can use it however we want. We aren't satisfied with giving it to you as a gift, do we think we owe you anything? "
Madam Luo's gaze swept across the surrounding villagers, the displeasure on his face clearly showed, "Originally, he shouldn't have said such unpleasant words, but there are some people who just didn't understand their duty, and wanted to take advantage of others. Our money is only for our use, giving it to you is our duty, not giving it to you is also our duty, don't go so far as this! When it comes to helping people in the countryside, who among us hasn't helped each other before? Why do we only remember to help our family? "
She shook the silver in her hand as she toyed with it, her eyes filled with disdain. "Moreover, my brother is now a high ranking official in the capital. Today, you all have fallen out with me. Just don't think of looking for my help in the future!"
The words from before didn't have much of an impact, but the last part made everyone in the village take aphrodisiac, causing them to be unable to say a single word.
In the past, Lu Daquan's family was poor, and would occasionally rely on the help of the villagers to take advantage of the villagers, but from today onwards, the Lu family would have ten thousand taels of gold. With so many gems, the wealthiest person in Linzhou City would probably sigh in shame when they saw them, why would they need to beg them to do anything?
They were probably begging Lu Daquan's family for a living.
Furthermore, the brothers of Madam Luo were officials in the capital, so they were exempt from the five years of imprisonment of sister and sister-in-law. As a commoner who does not fight with officials, no one can guarantee that nothing good will happen to them in the future, and if they need the help of Madam Luo and her brothers, if they were to fall out with Madam Luo for some money now, what would happen to them in the future?
In the end, the villagers who were causing trouble were suppressed and paid to go home. Those who had their rewards confiscated begged their grandfather to tell their grandma that they couldn't get another silver tael and returned home dejectedly.
Seeing that this was the end of the farce, Lu Daquan could not help but give Madam Luo a thumbs up, "My wife is the best, with just a few words she scared them away!"
"Of course, don't you know who that 'grandaunt' is? How dare I take advantage of you?!" Madam Luo snorted, he placed his hands on his waist, "Giving out money is too little, we might as well not give it. This is called killing a chicken to set an example, let's see who dares to go against our family in the future!"
Lu Daquan agreed repeatedly, praising Madam Luo for his courage.
Seeing that, Madam Niu scoffed, and said: "You little brat, all you know is to curry favor with your wife, is this money earned by your wife? If it wasn't for my clever plan of stealing the Madam Li and that little bastard's house, all of this money would be theirs now! "
Lu Daquan quickly replied as he patted Madam Niu on the shoulder and said flattering him: "Mother, please calm down. Since you obtained such a large sum of money, of course, mother's contributions will be the greatest."
Madam Luo was not convinced and was about to gobble it down when he saw the boxes of gold in front of him.
With so much money, her days in the future would definitely be very comfortable. Although Lu Daquan's cowardly words were not pleasant to listen to, but Madam Niu did have some contribution to obtain this money, so she temporarily did not care about it.
However, how did the Madam Niu know that the Madam Li and Lu Jinfeng's old house had so much money buried under them? Moreover, why didn't he take it out earlier and later, and why did he take it out now?
Thinking about that, Madam Luo looked towards Madam Niu and asked: "Mother, you knew that there was gold under the house, why did you only dig it out now?"
Her tone carried a hint of complaint, "If you had dug out the gold long ago, we would not have lived such miserable lives, we would have already had delicious food and drinks everyday, why be angry at Lu Jinfeng that little bastard and Chen Mu that slut for so long?"
If they had had the money earlier, she and Lu Daquan wouldn't have needed to spend the better part of a month in jail!
The more Madam Luo thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Lu Daquan guessed the reason behind Madam Luo's unhappiness.
"Mother, you should have said it earlier. If you had said it earlier, we would have already lived a good life. "It seems like these boxes have been buried for a long time. There's no need to wait until today to dig them out!"
"You two little bastards still blame me. If it wasn't for me, you two would still be paupers today." Madam Niu rolled his eyes, looking at his son and daughter-in-law, he said depressingly and helplessly, "It's easy to say, but do you guys think I'm some kind of immortal? How would I know that there were so many gold and jewels buried under the houses?
Lu Daquan was surprised: "Didn't you say that you knew there were treasures down there, that's why you took Lu Jinfeng's and Madam Li's cunning fox's house?"
"I only knew that it was a good place, but I didn't know that I could dig out so much gold." The Madam Niu shook his head, "Moreover, it wasn't until a while ago that I found out that the house had good feng shui and that there might be treasures inside."
Lu Daquan and Madam Luo looked at each other, then looked at Madam Niu. "What do you mean? If Lu Jinfeng and that cunning fox knew that there was gold under the house, they would definitely not give the house to us.
"A Feng Shui Master said so." "That house is a good place. If we were to rebuild the house, we would definitely get something out of it."
She didn't expect that the master's words would be so accurate. Indeed, as soon as the new house was built, he had already discovered so much gold and jewels.
It wasn't in vain that she had tried so hard to get the house.
When Madam Luo heard this, he was so happy that his entire being was like a flower. "Mother, since that Master Feng Shui is so intelligent, why don't we go back and find him to calculate and see where we can dig out a good thing?"
