Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 406 I Still Prefer a Conservative Approach

This is typical moral kidnapping. Lin Wanwan looked at the old couple, waiting for them to make a decision.

Everyone waited quietly. The old lady wiped her tears and said, "Old man, why don't we give him some money? It's also for the sake of our grandson."

The old man had hesitated before, but now he sighed and said, "This farm can be sold for 20000 taels. I'll give you 18000 taels, and we'll have 2000 taels left. This can be considered... our last favor."

After all, he is his own child, he can't really watch him die.

The gambler was not willing to give up. With a greedy look on his face, he said eagerly:

"Dad, since you gave us the 18000 taels, why not give us the remaining 2000 taels as well!

Look, the baby in your daughter-in-law's belly, won't it need nutrition in the future?

Besides, if we sell this farm, we won't even have a place to live in the future, so you shouldn't keep these 2000 taels anymore."

The old man glared at the gambler, shaking with anger. He pointed at the gambler and shouted, "You...if you dare say another word, I won't give you a penny!"

The gambler's expression changed, and he immediately coughed, then put on a flattering smile and said hypocritically:

"Okay, okay, Dad, Mom, I know you love me the most.

When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely be filial to you and take care of you so that you can enjoy the best food and the best drinks and live in luxury."

The old man shook his head helplessly, full of disappointment, and advised earnestly:

"We don't expect you to be filial, we just hope you can quit gambling.

If you still refuse to change your ways, you should also think about your unborn son, he is your own flesh and blood!

All this money was taken out for him.”

Although they were very reluctant, the old couple quickly signed the document after the gambler's constant persuasion.

In fact, this farm could be sold for 22000 taels, but the old man only asked for 20000 taels to leave a way out for himself and his wife. After all, there is still a long way to go, and they need to have some savings to rely on.

Everything was packed up, and the old couple just walked to the door when their daughter-in-law suddenly rushed over like a gust of wind, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the cloth bag containing 2000 taels of silver.

She put on a false smile and said insincerely:

"Oh, Mom, there's no use for you to keep this money. I plan to use it to buy a house.

Once we buy the house, we will bring you two over and our family can live together happily. How wonderful it would be!

Please give me these 2000 taels! It's just sitting there with you.

Don't worry, your son and I will definitely take good care of you in your old age."

The old woman's eyes were red and tears were pouring out. She cried in a trembling voice: "This is the coffin book for your father and me. How could you have the heart to take it away? Are you still human?"

The gambler also continued to coax and persuade, pretending to be pitiful:

"Mom, just give it to me! You know these 2000 taels are not enough for anything. It will be gone in a few days.

As long as you give me the money, I will definitely take good care of you and dad in the future.

Besides, I am your and Dad's only son, so sooner or later all this money will be mine! Please, Mom."

The old lady's heart finally softened, and she loosened her grip, and the 2000 taels of silver fell into the hands of the greedy couple.

The daughter-in-law and the gambler smiled at each other, their eyes full of ecstasy, and then they hurriedly took the money to pay off their gambling debts, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The old couple looked gloomy, turned around slowly, and sighed helplessly.

The old man spoke with a look of vicissitudes of life:

"I'm so sorry for making you laugh at me. I know in my heart that even if they get the money, they won't be at peace.

This is good, once they know we are broke, they will probably stop bothering us."

Mrs. Bai showed pity on her face, handed over the bag containing 2000 taels of silver, and advised sincerely:

"You guys, please get out of here right away!

If they find out where you are, they will definitely come looking for you, and then you won’t be able to keep your last bit of savings.”

The old man agreed deeply and nodded. He reached out and gently pulled the docile Da Huang beside him. His eyes swept over the two servants who had been following him loyally, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let's go! We'll never come back here again.

The world is vast, let's go out and explore and see the scenery elsewhere."

Mrs. Bai looked at their departing backs and couldn't help but sigh. She said with emotion, "It seems that children should not be spoiled too much, otherwise they will have to bear the bitter consequences themselves in the end!"

Mrs. Bai and her group took a tour of the villa. It must be said that the villa has a quiet environment, an exquisite layout, and is very suitable for living.

The orchard inside is well-maintained, with all kinds of lush fruit trees. There are also many chickens and ducks raised there. Raising chickens here is indeed a good livelihood.

After all the trouble, everyone was exhausted. When they returned home, Lin Wanwan fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

But I didn't fall asleep for long before I was awakened by a burst of hurried footsteps and shouts.

A man came running over in a panic, panting, "Old lady, this is bad! Something happened to the farm near the Xiongnu!"

Mrs. Bai asked anxiously, "What happened?"

The man quickly replied:

"It's the Xiongnu soldiers who have come. They have a camp very close to our farm. These soldiers usually like to steal chickens and ducks from the farm.

This time, when they found there was nothing to take from the farm, they actually beat someone up and stole all the remaining chickens and ducks!"

Madam Bai sneered and said bitterly, "These Xiongnu soldiers are really capable of anything. They are no different from those bandits who rob and loot houses!"

"What should we do now?" asked Zhao Qiaoniang.

Madam Bai looked at her and said, "Qiao Niang, how do you think we should handle this situation? I'll leave this matter to you."

"Ah? Mom, I'm afraid I can't handle it well."

Madam Bai smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? We can all cover you now. It depends on how you like to handle it."

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and hugged Lin Wanwan, saying, "I still prefer a conservative approach. We should use our usual methods. They like to rob us, so we don't need to be polite to them."

Lin Wanwan let out two happy "ahs", this was also what she liked.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Do whatever you think is appropriate."

That night, Zhao Qiaoniang rushed out with a group of female soldiers, and Huo Jun and Jiang Lin followed them with hundreds of soldiers.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and asked, "Why are you following us?"

Huo Jun touched his nose and said, "I'm afraid you'll be in danger, right?"

Zhao Qiaoniang said helplessly: "Then you must follow my instructions for this operation. If anything goes wrong, I will not be responsible."

Huo Jun looked at Lin Wanwan in her arms and said, "Why are you going to rob someone with a child like this?"
