Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 110 Revenge



Chapter 110 Revenge

"What else do you want? If you think it's unfair, forget it. Don't ask me for help with your family's affairs in the future."

Helpless, Mrs. Xu did not dare to say more. Seeing that her youngest son was about to take the exam again, he still needed the village chief to guarantee him! She could not offend him now.

Xu Han also readily took out 20 cents and threw it to Old Lady Xu.

"If you dare to make trouble again, let my husband break your grandson's legs."

Lu Chuan also acted fiercely as appropriate.

Old Mrs. Xu reluctantly took her embarrassed eldest daughter-in-law, Ms. Sun, home.

"Everyone, go home! Go home and have dinner." The village chief said to disperse the crowd.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan thanked the village chief and exchanged a few words with him, and then the village chief left.

Just like this, the farce ended. It was almost time for lunch, and Xu Han and Lu Chuan were too embarrassed to stay for lunch, so they could only say goodbye.

"I'm so sorry, Doctor Liu and Grandma Wang, for causing trouble for your family." Lu Chuan said.

"Hey! How can you be blamed for this? It's all because of old lady Xu. She's so unreasonable." Grandma Wang said.

"This family is really weird. In order to support their youngest son's studies, they bought two pieces of land during the half year you were away. They said it was to raise money for their youngest son to take the exam."

The two looked at each other when they heard this. You know, Xu Han's uncle has been studying for so many years, but he hasn't even passed the examination to become a student.

The county examination is usually held in February every year, and the provincial examination is held in April. These exams are very sparse!

Grandma Wang added, "Grandma Xu's two grandsons are not good people either. One of them is always stealing and even learned to gamble from others. The other is lazy and does nothing."

Forget it, there’s no need for Xu Han and the others to come up with any solutions. Old Madam Xu must not have much money now, otherwise she wouldn’t have sold the land!

If you give her a gentle push from behind, this family will soon fall apart.

Seeing that the two were silent, Doctor Liu spoke again.

"Yes! Let's eat first and then go! It won't take too long."

"Really, no need. We have to hurry back home! During this time, I may need your help to make some wound medicine. I will come back to get it after winter."

"Okay, I'll prepare more this time."

After that, Lu Chuan loaded the golden wound medicine into the carriage, as well as some return gifts prepared by Grandma Wang. Xu Han couldn't refuse, so she accepted them all.

After bidding farewell to Dr. Liu and his family, the two took a carriage and returned to the town together. There were still some things that had not been done!

After arriving in the town, the two first came to Manxianglou in the town. When they came from the county town, they specifically asked Manager Li for help and borrowed people to collect the Xu family's grain.

When Xu Han and Lu Chuan arrived at the backyard, the grain was still on the ox cart and had not been unloaded.

Lu Chuan thanked the waiter and gave him some money for his hard work, and then the waiter helped move the food onto the carriage.

After saying goodbye to the owner of Manxianglou in the town, the two men came out of Manxianglou and first found an inn. They went out for lunch and then began to inquire about the gambling of Xu's youngest son and eldest grandson.

Lu Chuan didn't let Xu Han go to block the street, so he asked her to wait for him in the teahouse next door.

Lu Chuan first went to the only gambling house in the town alone and looked for the person in charge of the gambling house.

When people saw Lu Chuan's look, they thought he was here to cause trouble!

After hearing Lu Chuan's purpose, he immediately put on a flattering face.

After Lu Chuan explained his purpose, the manager of the gambling house agreed on the spot and said that it could be done right away because the eldest grandson of the Xu family was already blocking the gambling house!

So Lu Chuan followed the manager into the gambling house, and sure enough, he saw that man. His eyes were red with rage, and he must have lost a lot.

Well, this is too smart. He doesn't even need to plan it. He has already dug up his own grave.

Lu Chuan stayed in the blockade for half an hour. Seeing that the amount of money he owed was increasing, he finally signaled that it was enough.

Before leaving, he told the manager to pay a deposit of two taels of silver first, and to pick up the remaining four taels of silver at Manxiang Tower after the job was done.

All the money lost in gambling belongs to the gambling house. There is no reason for the gambling house manager to refuse such a good deal.

After Lu Chuan saw Xu Han, he told her what had just happened, and Xu Han burst out laughing.

"This is the best. They owe money and have no food. Let's see how they can slowly endure the next natural disaster! Rather than hurting them directly, it's better to let them suffer slowly. Let's see how they can survive in the future."

"What about my uncle?" Lu Chuan asked again.

"Just now when I was drinking tea, I also heard some gossip. My uncle! He offended the teacher and has not been in class for a long time. He is probably going home soon. There is no need for us to take action."

"This family is already rotten to the core. We don't even need to do anything, they're almost unable to hold on."

"Yes! We will go back to the county town tomorrow morning. We have already made arrangements with the gambling house and Manxianglou. We just need to wait a few more days for the rest."

"Well! Why don't we go back today! It's still early! We went back to the county town, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I wasted a day's room fee." Xu Han said resentfully.

Lu Chuan laughed out loud, "The rent is not that much, don't feel bad about it, let's go get a carriage!"

Xu Han thought about it and realized that it was true. He was a rich man now, so this little money, just a few dozen cents, was not a big deal to him.

As soon as this thought came up, I immediately suppressed it. I felt so proud, really so proud that I didn't care about a few dozen cents anymore.

A few dozen coins can buy a roast chicken or a few kilograms of flour. This can't be allowed!

The two returned to the inn, got on the carriage and rushed back to the county town. It was definitely too late to go home today, so they could only stay in the county town for another day.

When they arrived at the county town, the sun had already set and the city gates would have been closed in a short while. Fortunately, they arrived in time.

They went to the same inn as yesterday, and after checking in, they went out to have dinner together.

They found a time-honored restaurant, had some stir-fried dishes, and packed some meals. It was still early, so they went for a stroll at the night market.

After strolling around for a while, I went back to the inn to rest.

The next morning, after getting up, I went for a stroll in the market first. It is different to live in the county town. It is very convenient to go to the market. You don’t need to get up early to travel.

When we arrived at the market, because we came early, many things had just been put on display and were especially fresh. There were even more varieties than usual.

Although we got here early in the mountains, the journey was long after all. When we arrived here, some of the things in the market had already been sold.

It's nothing like now! You can choose whatever you want. The two of them walked around for a while, bought some more things, and started their return journey early.
