A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 257 Did you buy it?

Two days later, only Xu's mother and son were left at the house in the county town, and the rest of the people went to Shangtang Village. After being idle for so many days, their masters provided them with free food and drink, and now they finally had something to do, and they were all full of energy.

Hang Shuheng saw several cuts on Chen Laoer's face and asked what happened. Then he quickly realized, "Is everything settled?"

Chen Lao Er nodded, "Sir, everything has been dealt with."

The sooner the better, so they returned to the village yesterday. They wanted to avoid Old Chen's house, explain the situation to the clan leader, and ask him to remove them privately.

But who knew that the people of the old Chen family somehow knew that they had returned to the village, and the whole family went to the clan leader's house, and started fighting as soon as they met, and they would not let the clan leader expel them no matter what. The two elders of the Chen family fought, and the second elder Chen naturally could not fight with them, so he just dodged, and the cuts on his face were left at that time.

The villagers didn't know that they had been to court, and Chen Laoer and his wife didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so they didn't make it public. As a result, everyone thought that Chen Laoer and his wife wanted to break off the relationship unilaterally, and many people began to persuade them.

They all lived in the same village, and everyone knew what kind of people that family was. But to the point of having to cut off the family tree and sever ties seemed a bit too big, so everyone advised them not to act on impulse.

Seeing that everyone was on their side, the Chen family became even more arrogant, and even shouted that they could break off the engagement, but the agreement would have to be bought out with thirty taels of silver.

Chen Laoer smiled bitterly. Thirty taels was exactly the price they had sold themselves for. This family had really made a good calculation.

Although he no longer had any illusions about them, he still felt a little chilled at the moment. In order not to continue to be entangled with them, Chen Laoer had to take out the letter of severance written by the county magistrate in the court of the yamen.

As soon as the letter of severance of engagement with the official seal of the government office came out, it immediately caused quite a stir. Chen Laoer, with great sorrow, recounted the whole process of their severance of engagement.

At this point, the villagers learned about this matter and began to discuss it in low voices.

"This family is really wicked. They just want to take advantage of the second son and his wife. Now they have ruined such a filial son."

"It would have been fine if they just made a scene in the village, but they even ended up in court. Even the county magistrate couldn't stand it anymore."

With the letter of severance issued by the government, the clan leader had to handle the matter carefully. He severely reprimanded the Chen family and issued a warning that if it happened again, the entire family would be expelled from the family tree and driven out of the village.

The Chen family finally calmed down. Although they were extremely unwilling, they could only watch as the patriarch removed Chen Laoer and his family of three from the family tree.

Today, several unfamiliar young people came to Shangtang Village at once. They first went to the Hang family, and later, under the arrangement of Hang Shuheng, they went to Shuisheng's family.

Recently, the villagers have been paying attention to the movements of the Hang family and the Shuisheng family. Once these young people appear, it is hard not to attract the attention of the villagers. Now, the people who were temporarily appeased a while ago began to get restless again.

This time, the villagers did not block Song Ning to ask questions, but went directly to the Hang family and asked in front of Hang Shuheng.

"Shuheng, what's up with those unfamiliar young men who came to the village today?"

"Shuheng, you're not going to hire people from outside to do the work, and you won't want people from our village to do the work anymore, right?"

"Yes, Shuheng, our village is full of capable people. If you want to do something, it's always safer to find someone from the village than someone from outside."

Everyone was talking at once and making a lot of noise. Hang Shuheng finally understood how Song Ning felt when she complained to him.

"As for the workshop, the preliminary preparations are not yet complete, but please rest assured that I will not forget the villagers. Please be patient and wait. When the workshop is ready to start, I will ask the head of the village to gather people."

Even though Hang Shuheng said so, the villagers were still uneasy and went to the head of the village and the old clan leader, wanting them to come forward and lobby.

The head of the village and the old clan leader couldn't stand these people, as they looked like they were afraid that their candies would be snatched away. But when Hang Shuheng suddenly found a few people from outside to do the work, they couldn't understand the intention behind it.

Therefore, the old clan leader and the head of the village finally came. They did not come for the villagers, but they also wanted to see what Hang Shuheng was up to.

The old patriarch asked: "Shuheng, why did you suddenly ask someone from outside to do the work today? What are you thinking?"

The head of the village echoed, "Yes, Shuheng, the villagers are getting restless and have come to me to tell me that they are afraid that you will find someone else outside and that they don't want the villagers to work in the future."

The old patriarch was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Although you want to run a workshop and you have the final say in everything, if you hire outsiders to do everything and don't give the villagers any benefits, I'm afraid they will trip you up in the future, and it will be difficult for you to run this workshop."

Hang Shuheng held his forehead helplessly. These people were really speechless.

"Uncle, Uncle Village Chief, I am not the kind of ungrateful person. I will not forget the villagers when I get benefits." Knowing that they came today for Chen Laoer and his men, Hang Shuheng could only explain to them clearly, "The people who came today are our own people. I didn't invite them. I bought them back to do hard labor."

"You bought it, bought it back?" What does bought it back mean?

The old patriarch and the village head looked at each other. What did this mean? Was it what they understood?

Seeing that the two elders were confused, Hang Shuheng explained more directly, "Yes! I bought them back, and they are servants in our family now."

This time, they heard and understood clearly, and looked at Hang Shuheng in disbelief.

What a promising future! They even have servants, what does that mean? That’s the kind of life that only the rich people in the city can live!

Then I thought, those are several strong young men! It must cost a lot of money! This guy is really willing to spend a lot of money!

After the old patriarch calmed down, he asked, "Why did you think of buying so many servants?"

Hang Shuheng did not hide anything and told them his plan, "Those guys all know some carpentry skills. After this workshop is established, we will have to open a shop. By then, the shop will need a lot of people to work. I think it would be more troublesome to have our own people do the work than to hire people from outside."

"I bought them back and signed the indentures, so I'm not worried that they might have evil intentions. Even if someone does, the worst that can happen is that they'll just be sold off. It's legal and compliant."
