Chapter 140 Discuss whether to gather or disperse
Pan Mingguang, Zhu Lichen and Du Zongzhe also surrounded Chen Buer.
The four people formed a circle head-to-head, and then the three of them quickly stuffed the broken silver in their hands to Chen Buer.
"Brother Seven, don't think it's too small. This was found by me when I was rummaging through boxes and punching cabinets at home."
"Yes, you know that I am moonlight every month. I asked my brother to borrow this broken silver. Don't be polite, take it."
"Brother-in-law, my sister gave you a thousand taels last time. My brother didn't have that much money. This is the ten taels of silver I stolen from my inner friend. Please put it away quickly."
Chen Buer held a handful of broken silver in his hand, and even had two hanging coins inside, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
When others came to express their condolences, they only sold tens of thousands or thousands of taels of silver. Only these three best friends gave them a few taels of silver, and even took out the copper coins.
But Chen Buer knew that the friendship in these broken silver was far deeper than the tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Because this money is all the three of their best friends, they gave him all the money they could find.
Chen Buer thought about the 10,000 taels of silver notes in his sleeve, and the more than 100,000 taels of silver in the space hospital. He felt moved and guilty when he held the broken silver.
But he did not refuse. If he did not charge the money at this time, he would look down on his brothers and let others misunderstand him that he was too low for money.
"Sure, I'll collect these money, so we brothers won't say anything polite. From now on, I, Chen Buer, will definitely not forget to give me some spicy food."
Pan Mingguang and the others were happy to see Chen Buer collecting the money easily, and felt that they had helped a little.
The young man's nature is so sad that there is nothing wrong with him? The four of them immediately laughed and laughed.
This made Chen Buxi and others very envious when they saw it. At least their brothers had no friends to come to express their condolences, which made them seem particularly failed in life.
The Chen family's invasion this time is like a "demonic mirror". At critical moments, you can see who is the real friend and who is the fake friend.
That night, more than 100 people from the Chen family lived in the Weishi Inn.
Weishi Inn is a "travel shop". Travel shop is similar to the express hotels in later generations. It is usually for travelers from all over the country or poor scholars to live in. The conditions are quite average and even a bit simple.
However, the advantage is that there are many rooms and the price is cheap, so you can settle everyone in the Chen family, otherwise the family will sleep on the streets tonight.
In fact, the Chen family is not so depressed that they want to stay in a low-end hotel like a "foot shop", but they just searched the house and went to stay in a five-star hotel. Isn't this an obvious way to tell the palace that the Chen family has money, and you haven't finished copying it?
This is asking for death.
Therefore, even if the Chen family has to pretend, they have to pretend to be poor for a while.
In the old lady's room, Zhiyuan retreated, and there were only ten male men from the Chen family and nine of their "companions". In the Chen family, "companions" were almost half of the masters and had a high status.
Why are there only nine companions? Because Chen Buer's companions are fat and thin men, who are surrounded by people, and are mainly responsible for security work, so as not to be eavesdropped on.
Today's family meeting will determine the future direction of the Chen family.
When the disaster comes, each family will fly away. This is something that every big family will experience. Just like today's Chen family, everyone sitting in this room has their own little thoughts.
Just like the "head of the family", Chen Jinbai, of course, hopes that the family will unite and revitalize the reputation of the Chen family Jingshitang, and even redeem the Chen family's old house and the clinic.
But the third brother Chen Jinshu may not have the determination. Although he knelt on the street of Yihuomen during the day and swears that he would have a share, only he knows what he is thinking.
Similarly, Chen Buer and the other seven brothers.
The boss Chen was not happy and the third brother Chen was not angry, and the whole family also wanted to work hard to re-engage the Jingshitang sign.
But the fourth brother Chen’s eyes were circling around. In his opinion, the Chen family had nothing now and the big ship was about to sink. It was better to go ashore early.
As for the second child, Chen doesn’t love him, Chen doesn’t feel sorry for him, and Chen doesn’t want him, he is a casual attitude. In fact, this is just a lack of attitude.
As for Chen Laoqi, everyone ignored him. What is the right thing to say for a little kid who has not grown up and has not yet gotten married?
The old lady sat in the middle, looked at the people in front of her and said calmly:
"The Chen family suffered such unrestrained disasters. No wonder the boss. If you want to blame, we can only blame our Chen family for being unlucky. Being with the king is like a tiger. The imperial family can bring us a great reputation, but in a blink of an eye, it has become the biggest disaster for my family.
Now it seems that the palace has taken advantage of it and has not killed all our family. Jin Bai and Buer have made contributions this time. If it weren't for you father and son, it would be difficult for the boss to be released from prison, and our Jingshitang would probably be crowded.
Even if the past is over, we still have to look forward. If it is placed in our Chen family, there are two roads: one is gathering and the other is scattered. Whether it is gathering or dispersed, I see your own opinions.
But I am ugly in the beginning. Whether it is gathering or dispersing, the ultimate goal is to revive Jingshitang. If you can't do this, what kind of face will you meet your ancestors in the future. Even if I go underground, I will not recognize you unfilial descendants in the future."
The old lady said this loudly, which made all the men in the Chen family feel nervous.
Chen Jinbai asked carefully: "Mother, what's the saying about gathering and separation?"
"Go to the gathering, our whole family is still staying in Bianliang City and not leaving. Others want to laugh at us. Major clinics are happy to see that there is a lack of an opponent, but we just can't do what they want. We just want to get up from wherever we fall.
Tomorrow I will go out to raise money. We will find a small courtyard in this Bianliang city and then find a shop on the street. It’s smaller. Each of you will take the clinic to open the Jingshitang again, accumulate little by little, and regain the names of these five major clinics.”
The old lady said so passionately that everyone nodded one by one. This "gathering" looks quite promising and seems to be the most feasible way to revive the family.
"But I said it was the beginning. Now our family is almost in poverty. Even if I go to raise money, you will have to pay it back then. In addition, the food, clothing and expenses of more than 100 people, as well as a large group of workers in Jingshishan.
