After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

Zhang Jinxiu continued to beg the village chief, and her aunt was so angry that she was so angry when she saw her ignoring her. With this attitude, who dares to expect her to help in the future?

"Dad, I'm not saying this. In the final analysis, this matter is Qiu Qingquan's fault. He was deceived. Why should our Zhang family pay for Qiu Qingquan's problems? No one's money comes from the strong wind!"

The village chief's brows relaxed slightly and he looked at Zhang Jinxiu and said, "Sister Xiu, it's not that grandpa doesn't want to help you, it's just that there are so many people in the family who need to eat, and besides, your family also spent a lot of money on your last wedding banquet. , It’s really impossible to get fifty taels in one go now.”

"I know this, but I don't expect my family to spend all of it. How much money can my family spend now?" Zhang Jinxiu asked.

She quickly calculated in her mind that there were fifty taels in total. The Qiu family could collect five taels, and the Zhang family could collect ten taels. She could think of other ways to get the remaining silver.

"Three liang." Three liang is easier to divide, and each of the three sons has just one liang.

Zhang Jinxiu frowned. The three taels of silver was a bit different from the amount she had expected. You should know that the country people had no money to begin with, but her family was already relatively well off. Her grandfather could still make some money when he became the village chief. .

If her family couldn't afford the bulk, it would be basically impossible to borrow the rest of the money, unless a wealthy family was willing to lend a helping hand.

Zhang Jinxiu was not satisfied with this amount, and neither was her aunt.

Her man worked so hard outside for a month that he didn't even have a tael of silver. As a niece, he would borrow money whenever he came home, and if he borrowed it, it might be too much money, but she still didn't think it was enough?

"If you don't like it, don't borrow it. We don't have enough money ourselves so we have to lend it to you. Are you still here to pick and choose?" the eldest aunt said to Zhang Jinxiu in a strange tone.

She didn't dare to talk to the old man, but Zhang Jinxiu, a married woman, said what she said, and judging from the old man's attitude, she probably just wanted to show some respect because of the face of her in-laws.

Zhang Jinxiu was a little reluctant to borrow only this little amount during her trip home. She remembered that her grandfather had been very concerned about the allocation of duty-free fields under Qiu Lang's name, and she mentioned it to her grandfather. The expression on the village chief's face actually softened.

"For five taels of silver, all the fields at home will be named under Qingquan's name." The village chief made his own conditions.

Zhang Jinxiu wanted to continue her efforts, but the village chief waved her hand and asked her to go back and discuss it with Qiu Qingquan. If the Qiu family agreed, he would give her money.

Zhang Jinxiu returned to Qiu's house with a heavy heart. When she met her husband's expectant eyes, she shook her head and told her grandfather what he meant.

Scholars have tax-free land, which allows them to exempt 40 acres of land. The Qiu family has ten acres of land, but there are still 30 acres left vacant.

Mr. Qiu glanced at Qiu Qingquan. Many relatives in the village had come to see him these days, including the village chief's family and the family members of Sister-in-law Qiu and Sister-in-law Qiu, all about this tax-free field.

The village head's family alone has 20 acres of land, which is the most land in the village. With the other two families, the quota is still not enough. He only said that he should go back and think about it, but for the time being, none of his family had come down, they were just waiting for Qiu Qingquan to come back.

Sun Tzu is a creative person and may have his own ideas about the distribution of tax-free land.

Now the village chief's family has proposed the method of exchanging money for land. He thinks it is feasible, but he cannot buy all of it. 20 acres is still a bit too much.

Old Mrs. Qiu was a little dissatisfied. We were all relatives, so it was not natural to help. Why did you take advantage of the situation?

"Sister Xiu, our Qiu family and Zhang family are related by marriage. Now that Qingquan is in trouble, why are the Zhang family still so stingy? They are so pushy about helping me. In the future, when my grandson becomes successful, don't get involved eagerly."

What Mrs. Qiu said was heartbreaking, and Zhang Jinxiu retorted directly: "What my mother-in-law said is really sad. If my mother-in-law didn't want to help, they wouldn't have paid a penny. We rural people save some money. It’s not easy, it’s already a great honor to be willing to help with money, after all, who can give out fifty taels in one breath?” Old Mrs. Qiu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Mr. Qiu’s look.

Qiu Qingquan comforted Zhang Jinxiu and said: "It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The Zhang family is willing to lend a helping hand to my son-in-law. Qingquan is already grateful. Qiu and Zhang are both in-laws, so I want the duty-free land to be in my name." There is no objection. Talking about money for this matter is too outrageous."

Zhang Jinxiu's face looked much better after hearing these words. When she went back and told her grandfather what Qiu Qingquan had said, she might be able to get some more money.

"I understand. I will go home later and tell Grandpa Qiu Lang's intention."

But even so, the combined total of the two families is estimated to be around ten taels, which is still far from fifty taels.

Forty taels of silver...how can I get it together?

Don’t the Qiu family have two daughters?

I can't count on my eldest sister-in-law, she is already married, but my sister-in-law is different.

Qiu Tingting is pretty good-looking, and she works hard at home. She can be busy both at home and outside the house. Isn't it right for a family to ask for some betrothal gifts?

If it doesn't work, just pick someone with not so good looks. As long as you give him a lot of money, Qiu Lang's problem will be over.

The more Zhang Jinxiu thought about it, the hotter her heart became. She also cared about Qiu Lang about the Qiu family. As for the others, did she care whether they lived or died?

However, she cannot bring this up. If she does, what will happen if her father-in-law and mother-in-law blame her later?

Zhang Jinxiu smiled and said, "Everyone is gathering firewood, and the flames are high. I'm asking all the relatives at home, and I'm not sure if it's enough. I remember that there is an eldest sister above Mr. Qiu? Why don't you ask my mother-in-law too?"

Old Mrs. Qiu also thought of her granddaughter at this moment. The eldest daughter married into the Qiu family had a cowardly character and couldn't control her husband-in-law while the colorful flags were flying outside. After so many years, she couldn't even lay an egg. Her parents-in-law disliked her and her natal family People also mention her beautifully.

Now that the family is in trouble, I think of people.

Dark clouds covered the Qiu family's side, but the Zhang family was beaming with joy.

When she thought that Zhang Jinyue had not come back from going up the mountain yesterday, she felt happy and wanted to look up to the sky and laugh twice.

"Mom, you seem to be in a particularly good mood recently. If you have any happy news, I will listen to it." Zhang Jinyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Cuihua with a smile.

"Uh." The smile on Zhang Cuihua's face stopped suddenly, and she said in shock: "You, didn't you go up the mountain?"

"Yes, I went up the mountain and then came down again. Is there any problem?" Zhang Jinyue said with a smile, "Or is it that Mom thinks I died on the mountain, that's why she's so happy?"

Zhang Cuihua paused for a few seconds, finally reacted, and said with an awkward smile: "It's nothing."

It was impossible to admit it, hadn't she received enough beatings?

"That's good." Zhang Jinyue gave her a meaningful look, "Mom, are you trying to be lazy before you go up the mountain? Sister Lihua, I'll leave the clothes at home to you."

The mother and daughter went about their business with grim faces again, and if you listen carefully you can hear curses coming from their mouths.
