Chapter 45

It turned out to be a rich eater, Yixue was unhappy that others charged thirty taels, but asked mine for thirty taels, which clearly meant bullying.

Mrs. Zhang was very embarrassed, and looked at Yi Xue with some unease, "Big girl, what do you think?"

"Fourth daughter-in-law, can't you even do this?" An old man said displeasedly, he obviously didn't take Yi Xue seriously, and he felt a little annoyed that Mrs. Zhang asked Yi Xue for her opinion.

Yi Xue didn't care, she raised her head and said to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, it stands to reason that our family should do our best to build the ancestral hall. Thanks to the people in the village, our family is slowly getting better."

Hearing what Yi Xue said, the village chief and the others immediately turned ugly. Yi Xue's scolding words did not show any traces, leaving the village chief and others speechless. What they said was to praise everyone, although they implied People bully and make things difficult for the Zhang family, but on the surface, they can't speak.

The village head and the other elders looked at each other, and said awkwardly, "You're right, the people in our village are all real people, and they don't have so many thoughts. They are all members of our own family, and it is right to help each other."

Yi Xue rolled her eyes in her heart, she was really disrespectful.

"Although our family has some money, we don't spend it like this. Our family also earns money through hard work, and it doesn't grow on trees. We spent a lot of money to buy land. You know it, Uncle Village Chief." Yi Xuemian said with a hidden needle.

"This girl, she's really good at talking." An elder said displeasedly.

The village head frowned, and was not satisfied with Yi Xue's words, but he also knew that doing so was a little unnatural, and his face was a little ugly, "Big girl, I know, it's really a bit reluctant, if you don't have it, forget it, and It's the same as other houses, thirty Wen"

The village chief has his own concerns. Although he looks down on Mrs. Zhang, he is not the one who makes trouble.Over the years, Murakami has often made things difficult for Mrs. Zhang, and he has not provided any real help. Now when he suddenly asks Mrs. Zhang for money, he always feels awkward in his heart, and his face feels hot.

"Uncle Village Chief, since it is for the sake of the ancestors, it is right to contribute a little money." Yi Xue paused and said again. He could see that the village chief did not intend to force it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "30 taels of silver, My family can still take it out.”

The village chief's eyes lit up. Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount. An ordinary farmer's annual income is only five taels of silver.If converted into the banknotes of the previous life, 30 taels is almost equivalent to 30 yuan.

"Big girl, what do you mean?" the village head asked excitedly, and then he felt embarrassed for being so eager, and was angry and sullen, and he couldn't hold his breath in front of a little girl.

Yi Xue turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhang, pondered for a while, and said, "Uncle Village Chief, you know, when my mother married back then, she was also a hard-working person, and some things were forced to do. Besides, my mother never did anything serious. I don’t know who spread rumors about indecent things and ruined my mother’s reputation in vain. My mother has lived in pain these years, look how old my mother is.”

Speaking of this, Zhang's tears flowed out, and she understood that Da Ya was trying to rectify her name.

The village head and the elders were silent. Everyone knew that Mrs. Zhang didn't have such a terrible experience, but felt that the women who were going to be sold into the kiln were not good women, and they resisted from the bottom of their hearts.

But on the other hand, such a weak woman did not actually do anything out of the ordinary, besides, why did she give birth to four children? Over the years, she has kept her duty and never overstepped, and she has done something for the Wang family. contribute.

"Uncle Village Chief, I think that many people in our village always look at our family with colored eyes. Our family does not steal or rob, and has never done anything wrong to the village. Why do some people hold on to our family? ", Yi Xue said sadly, with a tear coming from the corner of her eye.

Zhang shi shed tears and hugged Yi Xue in her arms.

The faces of the village chief and the others turned red immediately, some of them were among the people Yi Xue mentioned.

"Da Ya, what you said makes sense," the village chief blushed, "From now on, your family will live in the village steadily, and I promise that no one will make things difficult for you in the future."

When Yi Xue heard this, she was immediately happy. With the village head's promise, it will be much more convenient to do things in the village.

"Uncle Village Chief, what do these elder uncles mean?" Of course, Yi Xue wanted to recruit a few more respected seniors. This opportunity is hard to come by.

The village head looked at the elders, "Brothers, what do you think about this matter?"

The few people glanced at each other, and then said, "Building the ancestral hall is a major event. After all, the Zhang family is also my royal family. I will not mention this matter in the future. The village must not embarrass the orphans and widows."

Yi Xue was delighted to receive the words of the most influential elders in the village. The 30 taels of silver were not spent in vain. This was the biggest harvest.

Yi Xue took out 30 taels of silver from her bosom, "Uncle Village Chief, thank you for your kindness, our ancestors will definitely bless our Kao Village with good weather."

The village chief took the money, but he didn't expect that the Zhang family had no other requests. Such a request seemed too little.

Waiting for the village chief and the others to leave, Mrs. Zhang pulled Yi Xue, touched her face and asked nervously, "Big girl, am I really old?"
