Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 386 Dowry? Empty the House

"You little brat, you don't have such good luck today. Come on, brothers, give him a good treat and we'll go have a drink later. Haha!" Several people punched and kicked Shen Haobo again.

Shen Haobo was beaten up and covered in wounds. He had no money on him, and his group of friends ignored him. He had no choice but to go home.

Arriving at the door of his house, he knocked on it as usual: "Open the door! I'm back."

"Who are you looking for?" After a long while, the door inside was opened and a man opened it.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house!" Seeing that the person who opened the door was not Chan'er but a stranger, Shen Haobo looked up at the door. Did he come to the right place?

"What do you mean your home? This is my home! If you have nothing to do, get out of here."

"How is this possible! Who are you? Where is my mother?"

"Who is your mother?" the big man asked, crossing his arms.

“My mother is Ru Niang. Our family has lived here for more than 20 years. How did it become your family?”

"You mean that mistress? He and your father who is an official have been kicked out by me. You came back just in time to pay back the money they owed me!"

"Give me back the silver. I don't have it!" Shen Haobo shrank back two steps. Now he was afraid when he heard about silver.

He didn't look like he had any money, and his clothes were in rags. The big man just drove him out: "Go away, if you don't have any money, get out of here. If you make any more noise, I'll arrest you!" The door slammed shut, and the voices of several men shouting and yelling could be heard from inside.

What happened at home during the days he was away? Where did his mother and Chan'er go? He was wounded all over and wandered on the streets, not knowing where to go.

The next day, accompanied by Zheng Cheng, Chen Shuhua brought a team of people back to move things.

"Chen Shuhua, you are no longer a member of our Shen family. What's the meaning of you coming back with so many people?" Shen Wenting and others received the news and hurried to the main hall.

"What's the point? I'm here to get my dowry. Except for the house deeds, land deeds, farms, shops, etc. in my hands, everything in this mansion and the warehouse is my dowry. Now that you've been divorced, isn't it my duty to come and take back my own things? Or do you want to embezzle my dowry like last time?" Chen Shuhua said lightly.

"Bah, Shuhua, what kind of person did you marry before? Even your dowry was stolen. You'd be too embarrassed to face anyone if anyone knew about it!" Zheng Cheng clasped his arms and said teasingly.

"Who wants to embezzle your things? What a joke! Our huge Shangshu Mansion needs these little things from you?!" Shen Wenting said angrily.

"I feel relieved when you say that. Come on, please move all the things in the warehouse back to the Duke's Mansion according to my dowry list." Chen Shuhua asked people to move all the things in the warehouse out first, filling up several carriages.

Thinking that this was the end of the matter, Shen Wenting was about to say something to mock her, but unexpectedly Chen Shuhua spoke first: "Now that the things in the warehouse are done, the next step is to go to the various courtyards in the mansion. Let's go to the old lady's courtyard first. Her red sandalwood and kingfisher screen is my dowry, and those blue and white porcelain vases are all, move them all away."

Seeing a large group of people pouring into her yard, the old lady had no idea what was going on. These people carried away her favorite kingfisher screen. She couldn't stop them, so she ran to the front yard and cried to Shen Wenting, "Oh, Wenting, what's going on? Why are there so many people running into my yard? They are almost emptying out my things. Those are my treasures!"

"Madam, what are your treasures? They are all my dowry. It is clearly written on the list. I brought people here today to count them. You all be careful. These are all valuables." Chen Shuhua stood aside and said as she watched the people moving things in the mansion coming and going.

"Shuhua, we have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, please don't go too far!"

"Old Madam, you have been eating my food and using my things for these years, and you have lived such a comfortable life, yet you are still not satisfied!"

"Don't say such harsh words. I'll use your money for everything. My son and my family have businesses and shops."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right. Well, your room is almost ready. Next is Lord Shen's yard. Go, move to the study and the yard. Don't leave anything behind."

"Yes, Miss." After Chen Shuhua divorced her husband, people in the Duke's Mansion resumed calling her Miss.

Under Chen Shuhua's instructions, those people counted and moved things in each courtyard. Except for the courtyards of Shen Jinghong and Yao Qingnian, all the others had been almost moved.

Shen Wenting wanted to get angry, but Zheng Cheng was standing next to Chen Shuhua with a sword in his hand, so he dared not say anything. For almost the entire day, the servants were coming in and out carrying things, causing an unknown commotion around. The carts of things made people's eyes pop out.

"I heard that Madam Shen divorced her husband yesterday!"

"Hey, I have to change my words. From now on, I can't call her Madam Shen anymore. I have to call her Miss Chen. Tsk tsk, it's different when you have power. Others get divorced by amicable consent, but she divorced her husband directly. I've never heard of that!"

"Then Lord Shen deserves it!"

Many people outside the door were watching and discussing the matter. These past two days, there had been a lot of controversy because of the matter between Shen Wenting and his mistress, and with Chen Shuhua divorcing her husband yesterday, all the hot topics in the capital were contracted by the Shen family.

"I also spent money to buy the glazed tiles on the roof. Take them all away. Also, take away the fine nanmu carved door and the huanghuali tables and chairs. Take away everything that can be taken down and smash everything that can be taken down."

"Chen Shuhua, don't go too far!" Shen Wenting almost fainted when he saw that she was going to take away even the tiles.

"It's my money that I spent, I'm happy with it!" It was so satisfying to see Shen Wenting's face turning red and black.

When Chen Shuhua first married Shen Wenting, he had nothing. The furnishings, decorations, furniture, and flowers in the mansion were almost all arranged and purchased by Chen Shuhua. That's why the Shangshu Mansion had been so magnificent for so many years. But like today, the courtyard instantly lost its former glory and became dim.

After a busy day, everything was finally dealt with. Chen Shuhua gave Yao Qingnian a few instructions and happily took the things back to the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Wenting and the old lady looked at the empty mansion and had the illusion of going back more than 20 years. They were like this back then, with nothing, as if they were in a dream.

When Shen Youran came back and saw that her yard was in a mess, she couldn't help but go to the old lady to complain.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuhua is now doing things so efficiently and effectively. Yao Qingnian applauded her in her heart, saying that she did a great job.
