Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 126 Compensation

Shen Yun and Old Lady Shen both looked at Cheng Jinchu, and Old Lady Shen waved at Cheng Jinchu.

"Come, girl Yi, come to grandma and tell me what's going on."

Cheng Jinchu pulled Shen Zhiluo over and they stood on the left and right of the old lady.

"It's like this. A few days ago, West Street caught fire. The fire was quite big. Grandma, do you know about this?"

Besides loving good-looking people, Old Lady Shen also loves to listen to gossip. The people who serve her all know about her hobby, so they try their best to tell her more interesting stories from their own family for her entertainment. Whoever tells the story well will be rewarded.

"I heard about that. The fire was really big. When I went out yesterday, I deliberately took a detour and went to take a look."

When Shen Hao heard Cheng Jinchu talk about this, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He wanted to slip away, but he couldn't find a reason now!

Zhou was specially allowed to reflect in her own courtyard. She knew, of course, that the woman lived there. The spy she hired had already told her about it, but she didn't want this to be known by others. If the first wife was punished, she would not be in any good situation.

"I heard about it, but I was very busy recently and didn't go over to check. I think it's just the house that's on fire. Are the people there okay?"

Shen Yun is an official after all, and what he is most worried about is casualties. However, these matters are not within the scope of his management. He has been really busy recently, so he only heard about it from his colleagues.

"Alas, I have a good friend who lives right over there. After I heard about this, I went to see him with gifts. He was really lucky because his neighbor's house happened to be half burned down, and the fire was put out by everyone, so his house was not burned down as well.

However, many of them went to put out the fire and some were burned. His arm and clothes were burned, and he broke his leg out of shock.

The person who said this was Shen An, the second son of the Shen family. When Mrs. Shen heard Shen An say this, she thought about it.

"Yes, it's the boy who grew up with you, the same age as you. He is, um... the youngest son of Sister Li's family. What's his name? Is it him?

I remember he has always been working with you. Amitabha, it's okay. I remember you mentioned that he just bought the house. If it burns down, it will be terrible.

Shen An nodded.

"Yes, yes, Li Liu, he is the sixth child. However, when I went to see him the day before yesterday, he sighed and said that he was unlucky and it would be better to burn down the house."

Old Mrs. Shen was very confused.

"Why?"

When Shen Hao heard this, he really felt that he couldn't stay any longer. He stood up, covered his stomach, and lied to Old Lady Shen.

"Mom, I, I don't know what I ate wrong. I've been feeling sick in my stomach lately. My son is really feeling sick. Let's go back and have a rest first."

Shen Hao was the most heartless of the three brothers. His acting skills were really poor and everyone present could see that he was pretending to be uncomfortable. But he thought he was pretending well and he was still crying out in pain. The veins on Old Lady Shen's forehead throbbed when he saw him like that.

Old Mrs. Shen took a deep breath. This was her most useless son. She got a headache just looking at him. The second son was much better now, but he hadn't made any progress at all.

"Just sit there quietly. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Someone run fast and ask Dr. Zhang from Ning'an Hall on East Street to come and take a good look at you."

Shen Hao fell into the chair, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Mom, that doctor is old, it's inevitable that he will make mistakes in diagnosis."

Old Mrs. Shen sneered.

"Why? Doctor Zhang is old. If people don't think he's a good doctor, or are afraid that he might misdiagnose someone, then why is Ning'an Hall still doing so well?

Boss, I am your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you. I know you best. You won't lie, so what are you hiding from me? "

Shen Hao lowered his head guiltily and replied without any confidence, "No!"

Old Mrs. Shen, or everyone present, didn't believe it. Shen Hao's guilty look was clearly revealed.

"Second brother, keep talking about what you want to say!"

Seeing that Shen Hao was completely unwilling to say anything, Old Lady Shen said it was okay, he would eventually say it. After all, he had only suggested leaving when the second brother mentioned that incident.

"Oh, that Li Liu, he complained to me at that time that those families all received compensation, a total of four families were burned down, and he knew that one of them received more than 200 taels. Their houses were relatively remote and small, each with a yard and four rooms. They only spent less than 100 taels when they bought them. There was nothing valuable in their homes, and they just made more than 100 taels for nothing.

My goodness, this is not bad luck at all. If I had known, I should have bought a house next to his. At that time, Li Liu asked me to buy it and rent it to him at a low price. He has a large family. Then it happened to catch fire. Not only can I collect the rent, but I can also get more than two hundred taels of silver. "

"You still want these two hundred taels of silver?"

There is one particularly bad thing about Zhou, she always says whatever she thinks of, without ever thinking it over.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? You've had too many good lives, so you think two hundred taels of silver is not a big deal?"

When Yu heard Zhou talking about her husband like this, she would definitely not let her say it.

"Shut up! Can your Zhou family not care about these mere two hundred taels of silver now?

Not to mention now, even when the Zhou family's business was still good, they couldn't just casually compensate a family with more than 200 taels of silver. For these four families, the compensation would be almost 10,000 taels. What a big mouth! "

Old Mrs. Shen smashed a teacup to the ground, she was so angry that her eldest daughter-in-law actually said such a thing. It was just like what Yu said, she had lived a good life for too many years and she really felt that those were not silver anymore, but stones?

Zhou was frightened by the old lady's action of smashing the cup. Her face turned pale and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She has been doing things wrong lately. In the past, she knew that the old lady disliked her, but the old lady was reasonable and she didn't do anything too wrong. No, it was her who did things, big things, and the old lady didn't know about it.

Ever since Shen Yuning woke up, she always felt uneasy. She thought that one day the old lady or the Shen family would know what she had done. What would she do if the old lady really wanted to divorce her?

Zhou Shi had trouble sleeping recently. Shen Yuning always appeared in her dreams and asked her to pay with her life. Pay with her life? She was still alive and well. What life should she pay with?

Zhou's face turned pale and she immediately fell to the ground, kowtowed to the old lady.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't mean that, I will go back and repent, I will change, I will never think or say that again.

Mother-in-law, I was wrong... I was really wrong, husband, please help me plead, husband, mother-in-law, I didn’t mean that... "
