Chapter 44 Zhang Jinxiu’s plan
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.

Mr. Qiu glanced at his grandson. Many people in the village had come to him these days for the tax-free land quota, but he had not accepted any of them. He was 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 his in-laws proposed exchanging money for land, and he thought it was feasible. Five taels for this family, five taels for that family, or ten households together would be enough to repay the debt.

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. Being willing to help with money is already a great honor. After all, who can afford 50 taels in one go?”

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, 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 only about ten taels, which is still far from 50 taels.

40 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 put Qiu Lang in appreciation of the Qiu family. As for the other people, who cares whether they live or die?

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 Gu family was beaming with joy.

Gu's mother raised her two sons until they grew up. Now that the eldest son is getting married, she is always happy in her heart. Now she is teaching Gu Yuncheng earnestly: "Yuncheng, since you married Sister Yue, you must take good care of her. Mother can be satisfied if she can watch you marry and have children, and live in peace for the rest of your life."

Gu Yuncheng turned his head away in embarrassment, "I understand. Is my little brother going on monthly leave? I'll pick him up." "Not yet. Their monthly leave has coincided with the monthly exam, so they have to postpone the holiday for two days. .”

"Oh, then I'll go to the mountain to take a look. The traps I set last time haven't been confiscated yet, but I haven't gained anything yet." Gu Yuncheng said and ran out.

"Go on, go on. You are about to get married. Take your things back this time and go up the mountain after a while." Gu's mother said.

"Got it." A distant voice came, and the person had already run away.

Zhang Cuihua is also in a good mood in the Zhang family. When she thinks that Zhang Jinyue will marry to the Gu family in a few days, she feels happy and wants 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 abruptly, and she shook her head quickly and said, "It's nothing, nothing. Isn't this sister Yue's happy event coming soon? I'm happy for you."

"Really?" Zhang Jinyue didn't believe a word Zhang Cuihua said, but seeing how peaceful she was these days, he just snorted.

Zhang Cuihua let out a long breath. Fortunately, she was smart and quick to fool Zhang Jinyue.

"Mom, you haven't provoked eldest sister these days." Zhang Lihua advised. She was in a good mood now. The bully eldest sister was finally leaving, and the family would return to the way it was before.

"How dare I provoke her." Zhang Cuihua said with lingering fear: "That damn girl can hit ten of me with one hand, so I won't do such a thing to ask for trouble."

"That's good." Zhang Lihua nodded, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled. The mountain that was weighing on their heads was finally moving away.

Before I was happy for two seconds, I heard Zhang Jinyue's voice: "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.

On the Qiu family's side, Mrs. Qiu went to her eldest granddaughter's husband's house. When she came back, she kept scolding her and vented her anger on Mrs. Qiu.

"My younger brother in the family needs help. As a sister, she is looking at her husband's face and doesn't show any sign of it. This is the good daughter you raised!"

Sister-in-law Qiu kept a straight face and allowed the old lady to scold her without reacting at all. Anyway, she was used to such days.

She didn't agree with marrying Da Ya to that family in the first place, and she was just trying to beat them up without saying anything. How could Da Ya live a good life after marrying her?It was the parents-in-law who saw that the family gave a large betrothal gift, and it happened that Qingquan needed money to study in an academy, so they sold Daya without saying a word.

Later, the man beat her so hard that her parents-in-law didn't want to stand up for Daya. Instead, they scolded Daya for being useless and unable to hold the man's heart. Later, she was not allowed to visit.

When I'm not using it, I can't even remember that there is a eldest daughter at home. But when I need help, I think of someone else?What an irony!
"Mistress, this is not my mother's fault, just let her go." Qiu Tingting advised her. After all, her mother didn't owe the money. It makes sense for her grandmother to scold her mother instead of complaining about Brother Qingquan. No.

The little girl was almost in tears. Her grandmother criticized her mother in front of a group of juniors. She really didn't save any face for her mother.
