Today, we will find out in Part 2 what happened to Trần Địa at home. “My land will be sold to you for 400 quan (money unit). The other 200 quan, I will work as your servant to pay it back gradually. But what about my house, Sir?” “You don’t understand a thing. That thatched tent is worth nothing. I even have to make an effort to burn it! You two are foolish! Just think of it like giving your land to me, so I can keep it temporarily. Chu Thiên can go to take the national exam and Trần Địa stays with me while waiting for your elder brother to return with glory. By that time, what for you guys need this thatched hut? Here, here is the money! And Chu Thiên, prepare to go to the capital quickly. And Trần Địa, pack your belongings and come to my house.” “Sir, I have been developing three acres of wasteland, turning it into a fertile rice field. Although this is worth more than the amount of my debt, it is OK. I would like to say good-bye now.” “Why so hasty? Your debt to me, who said that it was paid off? Think about it. You lived with me, so that you could work only just to pay for your clothes and your food. You didn’t get wages, so how your debt be paid off?” “So you are swallowing your words, forcing me to work for nothing.” “Father! But don’t tell the guard to beat Trần Địa anymore. Trần Địa has developed the wasteland for us. His effort and time would be many times more than the debt he owed you. Father! I beg you!” “Considering my daughter’s plea, I forgive your crime! But from now on, I prohibit you from coming in here.” “Attention! Attention! His Honor Chu Thiên is returning home!” “My elder brother! It’s me, Trần Địa, your younger brother!” “Who are you that dare to come in here? I just gave the order to everyone, I just gave the order to everyone, and you must have heard it clearly. I just became a court official, and everyone want to claim to be my brothers.” “Insolent!”
