Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 95

Chapter 95: A Real Mess

Chen Xiao Mi and the Chen family officially signed the Renouncement Letter under the witness of the Clan Leader and the other elders.

The Renouncement Letter stipulated that Chen Xiao Mi had renounced the Chen Family at the cost of 30 taels of silver and a house. The Chen family shall stay away from Chen Xiao Mi and his two brothers.

Grandma Chen was thrilled that she got 30 tales of silver and a house, but she knew her family had become a laughingstock in the village.

It had been a long time since such a thing happened in this family. Many onlookers enjoyed the scene.

Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi left Big Stone Village after they got the letter.

Lu Lin looked at the letter and said, "With this thing, it doesn't matter if Grandma Chen really hung herself at our store."

Chen Xiao Mi said sullenly, "At the cost of 50 taels of silver."

Chen Xiao Mi felt that this letter was too pricy.

Chen Xiao Mi entrusted his house to the Clan Leader.

Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiao Mi and said, "Sometimes, some investments are necessary, come on now, we should celebrate this."

Chen Xiao Mi nodded and said, "A few days ago, the hooligans who practiced usury in town said Chen Jing owed them 100 taels. However, it has been a few days and I'm afraid it's more than 100 taels now."

Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yeah! This interest of usury develops like a snowball, many families have ruined due to that."

However, it had nothing to do with them now that they had got the Renouncement Letter.

......

In Lu family.

Grandma Lu said sullenly, "Chen Xiao Mi sold his house and gave Grandma Chen thirty taels of silver. This Grandma Chen is really shameless."

Grandma Lu interspersed her talk with curses, she wasn't feeling sorry for Chen Xiao Mi though, she just wished it was her who got the money.

Thirty taels of silver! Recently, the Lu family wasn't doing great, even one tael of silver was hard to get. Previously, Grandma Lu had even asked her son Lu An to do corvee, which had caused Lu An to feel extremely resentful.

In order to repay Chen Jing's debt, Chen Xiao Mi gave them 30 taels at once. This really made Grandma Lu feel as if a knife were being twisted in her heart!

In Grandma Lu's opinion, Chen Xiao Mi's silver was Lu Lin's silver. Lu Lin's silver was supposed to be hers. How could they give it to the Chen family just like that?

Grandma Lu felt so indignant that she walked out of her house and spread the word that the Chens were shameless, they asked a Bio who had renounced them to repay Chen Jing's debt, and the reason why Chen Jing was in debt was because he bought fake exam papers.

Chen Jing owed 100 taels of silver. It was an astronomical figure in the eyes of the villagers.

The villagers were also curious about why Chen Jing owed so much money. The Chens had never come up with a reasonable explanation, the villagers had become more curious.

Grandma Lu's 'inside story' had provoked an uproar among the villagers.

In fact, Tang had exposed the "inside information" in a sneaky way before, but she did it in a subtle way, there were still many people who hadn't heard it.

Grandma Lu did it differently, she gave enormous publicity to it, soon the news had spread across the entire village.

Cheating in the imperial examination was a crime, not only would the offender be banned from taking the exam for life, but also the offender would be sentenced.
