After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 125 Whose money came from the wind

Jiang Xiaohe glanced at her and said coldly, "My elder sister married into your family and worked like a slave for you, washing clothes, cooking and working in the fields every day. If she hired a nanny in town to wash clothes and cook every day, it would cost her two taels of silver a month, right? I'll calculate it for you and give you ten wen a day. It's a good deal for doing so much work. Just like you said, my elder sister has been in your family for almost two years, which is more than seven hundred days. If I count her as having rest time, I'll give you a round number of seven hundred days, which is seven taels of silver, right?"

Zeng Xianglan's face looked strange.

"Also, my elder sister gave birth to a child for your family. Although it's a girl, she still gave birth to a child. She didn't have any credit, but she also worked hard, right? She went through the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. I'm not asking too much for you to give her ten taels of silver, right?"

Zeng Xianglan was almost going crazy.

"Also, after we take my eldest sister away, we have to take her to see a doctor for her injuries. Oh, and you made her work in the fields while she was in confinement. She didn't take good care of herself, so she might have some underlying illness. It will cost a lot of money to take care of her. I'll give you twenty taels as well, as a favor between our two families."

"Bah! Who the hell is she? She is not worthy of seeing a doctor and taking medicine, and she wants twenty taels. Why don't you go and rob her!" Zeng Xianglan couldn't bear it any longer.

Jiang Xiaohe ignored her and calculated in her mind: "So, we have 37 taels of silver, and you have 29 taels of silver. You still have to give us 8 taels!"

Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, stared at her with a smile, and spread out his hands: "Old vicious woman, give me the money!"

Zeng Xianglan was so angry that she was about to smoke.

Pulling Village Chief Chen, he said, "Village Chief, she did it on purpose! She never thought about compensating our family!"

Village chief Chen looked at Jiang Xiaohe with a frown, feeling that she was a little ungrateful.

Jiang Xiaohe chuckled: "Village Chief Chen, I didn't say I won't pay the money, it's just..."

Then she stared at Zeng Xianglan coldly: "It's just that if she wants to make up a story here, we naturally can't believe it. Whose money was blown by the wind? Don't you think so?"

Village Chief Chen glanced at Zeng Xianglan and said nothing.

Zeng Xianglan put her hands on her waist and pushed her chest towards Jiang Xiaohe: "I tell you, if you want to take Wang Daya away, you have to pay that much, not a penny less!"

"Does the village chief think so too?" Jiang Xiaohe asked Village Chief Chen.

I saw that he still didn't say anything, which naturally meant that he agreed.

The men behind him moved slightly at this time.

"What? Do you still want to rob?" Zhang Daniu and Wang Hong stood on the left and right to protect Jiang Xiaohe.

A man behind Village Chief Chen spoke up at this time: "Girl, let me tell you, when you come to our Yezigou, everything must be done according to our Yezigou regulations!"

"That's right. If you don't give this money to Chen Man's family today, don't even think about leaving our Yezigou!"

It was already getting light at this time.

"What if I refuse to give it to you?"

"Not giving? If not, it depends on whether we agree or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several men gathered behind him.

Jiang Xiaohe glanced at them, then at Village Chief Chen: "It seems that this has happened more than once in your village."

One of the men said to Village Chief Chen, "Village Chief, we don't need to waste time talking to them! Women who marry into our village never leave!"

Village Chief Chen nodded and said to Jiang Xiaohe and the others, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame us then."

Zhang Daniu immediately stood up: "How dare you!"

When the man saw him, he sneered, "Boy, this little girl is your wife, right? You are so protective of her."

Zhang Daniu blushed for a moment and was about to deny it, but Jiang Xiaohe stood up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm his sister-in-law!"

"Oh? Sister-in-law? Seeing how protective he is of you, someone who doesn't know would think you are his wife."

Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia felt uncomfortable, while Zhang Quan and Zeng Hua were a little embarrassed. However, Zeng Hua seemed to see that her son seemed to have some...

Jiang Xiaohe stared at Village Chief Chen: "Village Chief Chen, if you move our group today, you will probably lose more than you gain."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Xiaohe said slowly, "Do you think there are only a few of us in our family?"

Village Chief Chen and the man behind him looked at each other.

"Your Yezigou is somewhat famous outside, but we still came here. That's because we told our family members before we came. If we haven't returned by dawn, the rest of our family will go to the government office to report the case!"

what!

When the men behind Village Chief Chen heard the words "report to the government office", fear immediately showed on their faces.

Zhang Fu and his friends were wondering, did they ask Da Niu to report the case? It seemed that they didn't.

But no one said anything.

Wang Hong said at this time: "My cousin's wife is right! If my family and my eldest sister can leave your village safely today, we can pretend that nothing happened. But if we make any mistakes, you can just wait for the government officials to come!"

The man behind Village Chief Chen whispered, "Village Chief, they are threatening us. We can't just let them go. If this precedent is set, with a family like this, how will other women in the village live peacefully in the future?"

Another man agreed: "That's right, village chief, if every woman in the village follows the example of Wang Daya's family, how can our village survive?"

Village Chief Chen was obviously hesitant when he said this. Looking at Jiang Xiaohe, he felt that the woman in front of him was a little difficult to deal with.

Jiang Xiaohe was not too far away from them, so she could just hear the general idea of ​​what they were saying.

"If you are worried that we will go to the government office to sue you after we leave the village, you can rest assured. We only want to take our eldest sister away and don't want to cause trouble for ourselves!"

Zeng Xianglan saw the village chief hesitate and immediately jumped up: "No, not allowed! If they don't give me money, I won't let them take Wang Daya away! She is my wife! Money is so hard to earn now, and they just took Wang Daya away without paying anything. How can I find another wife for our Chen Man?"

Jiang Xiaohe said, "You gave my uncle and his family four taels of silver as a betrothal gift. I can return the full amount to you."

"Pah! What can you do with four taels of silver!" Zeng Xianglan said disdainfully, and then gestured: "I want twenty-nine taels! Not a cent less!"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Okay, then let's wait for the government officials to come. Anyway, it's almost dawn, so we are not in a hurry. When the government officials come, I will make sure you don't get a single copper coin!"

"you...."
