After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 211 The Zhao Denan Incident

"My Lord, this woman—"

Luzhu just felt pity for him, but she also felt that she was willing to do it, so she was in a dilemma.

"You can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep."

Shen Tang witnessed the whole process. Isn’t this the ancient version of the "brother-supporting demon"?

This is a common thing in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

She could provide women with a place to live and a job, but she could not immediately save them from the distortion in their hearts.

There are too many things like this, and even if she wants to take care of them, she can't.

Moreover, it is not impossible that someone will turn the tables and blame you.

This Zhao man's thinking has been solidified for decades, and it will take time to change.

But unexpectedly, this matter eventually reached Shen Tang's ears.

It turned out that it was Zhao's husband's family who came looking for him. His surname was Chen.

When Zhao Denan was sent back to her parents' home, the two did not divorce.

After the man drove Zhao Denan away, he lived happily for quite a while without anyone to restrain him. However, he heard from somewhere that Zhao Denan had actually entered Tangji Cotton Mill, and that the Zhao family was now arranging a marriage and wanted to give the woman twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

As the son-in-law, doesn’t he know what the Zhao family’s wealth is?

This must have been made with his wife's money!

Humph, he hasn’t divorced his wife yet, so Zhao Denan is naturally his!

The money his people earn is naturally his money!

He hasn't even spent his own money, so how can he let others spend it?

When Zhao Denan learned that her husband had come looking for her, she naturally knew what kind of person her partner was, so she hid in the cotton mill and didn't dare to come out.

The Chen family had no choice but to start making trouble in front of the cotton mill.

"Zhao Denan, I know you are here, please don't stay here, I know you are in there!

You, woman, left my Chen family without looking back, and it turns out you found a good place!

You haven't been home for almost a year. Have you found a lover outside? I tell you, you haven't divorced me yet. In life, you are a member of my Chen family. In death, you will be a ghost of my Chen family!"

The Chen family was shouting and yelling at the door of the cotton mill, attracting a lot of people.

"This guy is not from our town, how dare he shout in front of the Marquis's cotton mill!"

Unexpectedly, these words were heard by the Chen family, who started to act like a rogue.

"What's wrong with the Marquis? I'm here to find my own wife. The Marquis has no right to interfere."

Seeing that there was no movement in the cotton mill, the Chen family's eyes rolled and they shouted:

"Zhao Denan, you haven't been home for almost a year, do you have a lover outside?

You work in a cotton mill and use your wages to support your mistress, right?

I tell you—”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The door of the workshop opened and Zhao Denan came out.

Originally, she was a little happy that her husband came to see her, but she wanted to see what her husband's attitude was.

It turned out that her husband didn't really come to take her back.

She even started to accuse me of cheating on her husband, and her voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it.

Zhao Denan felt embarrassed by the gazes of the people around her.

So, she hurried out to stop her husband.

"Wife, are you coming out to see me?"

When the Chen family saw Zhao De'nan coming out, they immediately stood up.

"Look at you, you didn't even send a letter home after entering Tangji Cotton Mill, making us worry."

"You're worried about me, and why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

"Hey, don't be angry, I'm here to pick you up!"

"I won't go back."

This month's money will be distributed soon, and she has to take some to send home.

Seeing that Zhao Denan was not listening, the Chen family became a little impatient, but thinking of the purpose of their trip, they still remained patient.

"My dear wife, my mother has been ill recently. You know the situation at home. You are working in this cotton mill now. The doctor said that my mother needs to be taken good care of. It costs two taels of silver every month.

I don't have much ability, so now I can only rely on you. Give me ten taels of silver and I'll get medicine for my mother."

As long as I get the money, it doesn’t matter whether I come back or not. As long as I work in this cotton mill, it will be fine.

This is what the Chen family thought.

When Zhao Denan heard her husband coming to ask for money, she understood somewhat of his intention.

Under normal circumstances, she would be willing to give some of the favors that the couple had shown to each other on this day.

But now she has given everything she has on her to Zhang's mother, and her pockets are cleaner than her face, so how could she have any money left?

However, since getting married, her husband has rarely been so nice to her.

Zhao Denan had some thoughts in mind.

Now that she has married into the Chen family, she is naturally a member of the Chen family.

As long as she worked in the cotton mill, her husband would always be so good to her.

It’s better to give this money to your husband!

However, she had to find a way to keep her husband stable.

"I'm living alone outside, and I've been spending a lot on food and drink, so I won't give you the money before this. Come back next month, and I'll give it to you after I get paid!"

Zhao De'nan agreed.

When the time comes to give the money to the husband, when the mother comes to ask for the money, she will say that the husband has taken it away.

I guess my mother would have nothing to say, and it is impossible for her to go to my husband's family to ask for money.

Unexpectedly, when the Chen family heard that there was no money to be paid today, their attitude immediately changed.

"I didn't expect you to be so cruel. My mother is bedridden and just asked for some money, but you refused to give it to her! I misjudged you. I shouldn't have come to you!"

The Chen family said this and pretended to leave.

Zhao Denan became anxious and grabbed her husband.

"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

Zhao Denan entered the cotton mill and borrowed some money from other female workers, saying that he would return it to them after receiving his wages next month.

The female workers all knew each other, and naturally they all knew that the cotton mill would pay their wages on time, so they borrowed money from them.

Zhao Denan took the several hundred coins she had borrowed and stuffed them into her husband's hand.

“Why is there only this much?”

These few hundred coins were too little, not even enough for him to drink for a few days.

"That's right. If you didn't come before, I'll give it to you every month if you come every time in the future!"

The Chen family weighed the copper coins in their hands. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing, and their attitude softened a lot.

"Then I'll come see you next month."

Zhao Denan listened to her husband's promise, nodded, and thought she had her husband under control.

Seven days later, it is the day to pay wages.

Zhao's mother had been squatting at the door of the workshop since early morning.

"Sister Zhao, now that we've been paid, shouldn't we return it to you?"

Zhao Denan looked at the young girls in front of him with a smile on his face:

"Sisters, I can't pay you back right now because my brother is getting married. I can't pay you back right now, but I promise I'll pay you back next month!"

Zhao Denan's attitude was extremely good.

But I was unhappy inside. Isn't it just a few hundred coins?

Is it really necessary to chase so closely?

Just as she was taking the money out to give it to Zhao's mother, she walked to the door and saw her husband and mother standing together.

No, I can’t let my husband know that all my wages are subsidized to my parents’ home!
