Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 13 Defending the Money Box

To put it bluntly, the people of Fangjia Village came to help stand up and support the scene.They were afraid that they would hurt someone if they really did. Fang Jianren's today is their tomorrow.

Jiang Erya couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, she was a sensible person.

In this situation, Fang Jianren had no choice but to bow his head and promised to pay compensation.

As soon as Lao Jiang asked for 25 taels of silver, Fang Jianren stared at the words, and even Jiang Erniu, who was lying down and pretending to be dizzy, trembled in fright.

Jiang Erniu said heartily, 25 taels is too much!

The compensation within a reasonable range was only three to five taels at most. Jiang Erniu felt that no matter how capable Lao Jiangtou was, he would only dare to ask for about ten taels at most. Unexpectedly, Lao Jiangtou wanted 25 taels!
It's not good to blackmail people, if Fang Jianren is annoyed by blackmail and is willing to go to jail, he may not get a penny of compensation.

Jiang Erniu was very anxious, but he was pretending to be dizzy, if he pretended to get up - that wouldn't work, it would become irrational when the time came.

Sigh, forget it, let's continue pretending, let's listen to how old Jiangtou plays...

Old Jiangtou insisted that Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya were already hopeless, and it was because they ate two of his ginseng that they dragged on until now.

Two ginsengs cost 20 taels. If the father and daughter died, he would have to buy two more coffins.

25 taels is the lowest, and that's all, not counting the money for the doctor and soup for the father and daughter.What's more, there is still an unconscious Lin Xiuxiu lying in the house...

Old Jiangtou made inquiries on the way. Fang Jianren's family still has three acres of paddy fields, which are worth 40 taels of silver.

He is kind enough, as long as 25 taels, Fang Jianren can sell the paddy fields, and there is no need to really go bankrupt.

Fang Jianren, who was surrounded, talked about everything, and Fangjia Village was pleading, and Xinglin Village was also reminding Jiangtou that enough is enough, so Jiangtou had to agree to reduce the 25 taels to 15 taels.

Old Jiangtou felt that he had lost a lot.But even if it was 15 taels, Fang Jianren didn't want to really take it out. He said something that made Old Jiang want to bite him.

"I want to write an IOU."

"I also want to give cash, but look, my family is so poor that there are only a few walls left. How can I get 15 taels of silver now?"

Old Jiang slapped his head on the table: "What IOU?
After you pay the IOU, I have to come to you every day to collect the debt. My family is very busy and I don't have much time to spare.

I don't care whether you are selling paddy fields, houses, or even children, in short, you must hand over 15 taels of silver to me today. "

Fang Jianren didn't want to sell the paddy field and the house. As for the child, he didn't want to sell it.

The two daughters of his family had been sold by him as early as the second month after his mother-in-law died.

The money he got from selling his daughter was also spent on the girls in Yichunyuan in the county seat.

"Either let me pay back the IOUs slowly, or you just take my life away! Anyway, after selling the paddy fields and the house, I won't be able to survive in the future."

Old Jiang stared and said, "You threaten me?
That's good, let's break up together.

I'm going to report to the police!

My eldest son works as the shopkeeper in the restaurant in the county seat, which is the largest restaurant in Qingjiang County, Yuelai Restaurant.From the county magistrate to the yamen servants in the county yamen, they are all his regular customers.

The matter of intercepting and selling water in your village privately and almost hurting two or three lives, once it is stabbed to the county magistrate, the whole village will be arrested and beaten.

I will ask my son to entrust someone to sentence you to a severe sentence, and let you sit through the prison! "

After Lao Jiangtou finished speaking, he looked straight at Fang's Village Lizheng. The meaning was obvious. If he wanted to report to the officials, Fangjia Village Lizheng would not be able to escape the blame.

Fang's village is full of regrets. He must have been deceived by lard at the beginning, and was instigated by those scoundrels in the village, and he actually led the whole village to intercept and sell water together.

Making partial money, making partial money, where is it so easy to make partial money?If this trick worked, the villages upstream of Fangjia Village would have already done it!

It's a pity that he didn't understand this truth at the time, alas, it happened because of this...

Fang's village was thinking about it and decided to be generous to others and remove themselves from the dispute.

He made the decision without authorization, assigned two acres of Fang Jianren's three acres of paddy fields to his own name, and handed over 15 taels of silver to Lao Jiangtou.

Lao Jiangtou weighed the silver, pulled up the "comatose" Jiang Erniu's right thumb, pressed his fingerprint on the settlement document, and pressed his own fingerprint when it was over, saying that this matter is over, and we will discuss it later. I didn't come to find a later account either.

Old Jiang put down the reconciliation letter, and smiled broadly while holding the money.

The Fangjia Village, which harms others and benefits itself, is breathing a sigh of relief. The matter has been resolved. He also bought two acres of paddy fields at a low price of 15 taels, saving at least seven or eight taels of silver in price difference, which is great.

Fang Jianren put away the settlement document, gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but didn't dare to show it.

He secretly swears that when he becomes famous in the future, those who took advantage of him today, one by one, no one will try to escape.

His eyes circled around the crowd, and finally landed on Jiang Erya, looking very sinister.

Everything happened because of her.If she didn't look so juicy, he wouldn't be tempted, and these things wouldn't happen after that.

Fang Jianren stared at the 15 taels of silver that Old Jiangtou was holding, thinking about it...

Not only did Jiang Erya feel Fang Jianren's malice towards her, but she also received a task from the system.

"Mission: Defend the money box.

After Fang Jianren lost 15 taels of silver, he felt unwilling and decided to take revenge on Old Jiang's family. He will sneak into Old Jiang's house in Xinglin Village tonight and steal Mrs. Jiang's money box.

Please stop Fang Jianren's theft and keep Mrs. Jiang's money box. "

"Accept the task. After the task is completed, 1 attribute point will be rewarded. If the task fails, 5 point of life will be lost every 1 seconds."

"If you don't accept the task, you will lose 5 life point every 1 seconds."

Jiang Erya knew that she had no choice, so she moved her fingers slightly and accepted the task.

……

After returning to Xinglin Village, Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang went straight home to count their silver.

Ordinarily, the villagers helped them to go to Fangjia Village together to ask for compensation. Lao Jiang's family was so proud that even if they didn't give them a few hard-earned money, they should buy some snacks or something, and share a little with the family.

But Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang didn't give anything.

Fortunately, people in the village have already seen through the behavior of the old couple and did not expect much from them.

Someone patted Jiang Erniu's shoulder sympathetically: "The compensation should be for you and Erya, but it was taken away by those couple."

Jiang Erniu is not in a hurry, it doesn't matter who keeps the money now, and it's not too late to fight when the family is separated.

He had told Jiang Erya so before he went to Fangjia Village.Therefore, Jiang Erya is not in a hurry.

Another person reminded Jiang Erniu in a low voice: "Stop being so honest with those couple in the future.

I've heard that when you were in a coma, they threw you to the mountain to die, and it was your Erya who followed all the way to save your life.

You have already repaid that bullshit nurturing grace.

His Lao Jiang's family became rich in the village because of the hundreds of taels of silver your parents left you..."

Facing this person's kind reminder, Jiang Erniu nodded seriously, "Thank you!"

Jiang Erniu appreciated it, and the other party was very happy.Right, he didn't meddle in other people's business, he just stood on the side of justice.

The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya carried the two door panels back to Old Jiang's house.
