Tang, who followed Grandma Lu here, pulled a long face on hearing what Chen Xiao Mi just said. She supported Grandma Lu to cause a ruckus. In her opinion, Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin must have more than a thousand taels of silver now, their entire family would benefit if they could pressure the couple to give them a fraction of their savings.

However, Tang was flustered on hearing Chen Xiao Mi mentioning her son's name. Reputation was everything for a scholar, but Tang gritted her teeth and she decided that everything should give way to money.

"Chen Xiao Mi, even though Lu Lin is married into your family, he is still a member of the Lu family. Grandpa Lu is paralyzed in bed for years and he hasn't visited his grandfather even once! That's too much."

Chen Xiao Mi pouted and said, "You are the one who asked a few villagers to carry Lu Lin on two pieces of door planks to my house when he was dying, and now you are accusing Lu Lin of being unfilial!"

Chen Xiao Mi looked at the villagers who followed Grandma Lu here and said, "The villagers of Big Stone Village, I'll pay anyone who is willing to carry Grandma Lu away from my shop 200 cents!"

Tang looked at Chen Xiao Mi and asked with alertness, "What do you want to do?"

Chen Xiao Mi pursed his lips and said, "I'm just worried about Grandma Lu's health, she is too old to do this I could see that Grandma Lu now is a bit senile, what she said doesn't make sense anymore. It's better that she goes home and rests.

The villagers gazed at each other in speechless despair, and one of them broke the silence, "Brother Xiao Mi, are you really going to pay us 200 cents?"

People in the village would only get 20 cents per day as a casual worker. Two hundred cents was already worth more than ten days of income. Quite a few of them were tempted when Chen Xiao Mi said it was as much as 200 cents.

Chen Xiao Mi smiled, "Of course, I'm a man of my word."

On hearing that, the villagers surrounded Grandma Lu and said, "Grandma Lu, no need to create a disturbance like this, let's just go back to the village."

Grandma Lu looked at the villagers and asked excitedly, "What do you want to do?"

"Old Madam, you have married Brother Lin into the Chen Family, Brother Lin has every right to do whatever he wants."

"Yeah! You are the one who has sold Brother Lin!"

......

A few people stepped forward and pulled Grandma Lu away.

Chen Xiao Mi smiled and winked at Qin Lang. Qin Lang immediately took out a wallet and paid them. The men collected the money and walked Grandma Lu to the ox-cart.

Grandma Lu kept shouting and screaming as the villagers checked her and walked her to the ox-cart.

The villagers who took money from Q in Lang asked the owner of the ox-cart to leave right away, leaving Tang alone at the store. Tang looked around and left crestfallen.

......

Grandma Lu who was checked by the villagers arrived home cursing and shouting. Lu Cheng Yu knew that Chen Xiao Mi was a rebel, but little did he expect Chen Xiao Mi would come up with such a solution.

"Damx that Bio!" Grandma Lu cursed Chen Xiao Mi after he gave her this terrible humiliation.

Tang did not expect Chen Xiao Mi to come up with this trick, either. The villagers who followed them to town got 200 cents each, but she and her mother-in-law ended up getting nothing but this burning shame.

Lu Cheng Yu's face was livid and he felt indignant on hearing the villagers betrayed them over 200 cents!

Grandma Lu looked at Lu Cheng Yu and said excitedly, "Cheng Yu! We can't just let it go! Chen Xiao Mi is too arrogant. You have to think of a way to get back at him!"

Grandma Lu's face was dark with rage when she saw all the items on display in Lu Lin's store!

Grandma Lu had been to town before, but at that time, she thought that commercial house belonged to the Big Boss. Now she was just mad jealous that both the store and the products belonged to Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi.

Lu Cheng Yu just shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do.

Tang said sullenly, "The villagers who took money from Chen Xiao Mi have gone too far!"

Tang asked the villagers to follow them to boost their courage, little did she expect those people would betray them.

There were people in the village who were renting Granny Shen's field, and people who were welling embroidery products, mountain specialties, vegetables, and rice to the Sino Commercial House. The truth was no one wanted to offend Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin.

Some villagers who had accompanied Grandma Lu had even hidden away when they arrived at the store.

Grandma Lu said angrily, "A bunch of cowards!"

There were five villagers who took money from Chen Xiao Mi, each of them got 200 cents, that was one tael of silver in total.

Grandma Lu turned furious on thinking that Chen Xiao Mi would rather spend 1 tael of silver to see her lose face than give that silver to her.
