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

"How many days will Qingquan have this monthly holiday? If you need any help from home, please tell me as soon as possible. Grandpa will come up with a solution for you."

Mr. Qiu looked at his grandson with a kind expression. This was his grandson Qiu Tao, a seventeen-year-old scholar.

"And I, I can help too." Zhang Jinxiu had a positive attitude, fearing that she would miss this opportunity to gain goodwill.

Since his grandfather and wife brought up this topic and expressed their willingness to help, Qiu Qingquan took advantage of the situation and said, "I really have something to ask my family for help. It's like this. After I returned to college, my classmates knew that I was married and said it was a big deal. Happy events require me to treat them to a drink."

"I have been thinking for many years that we, our classmates, should treat each other to a drink, but in the end they made a fuss and went to Hongsheng Restaurant and ate me fifty taels of silver for one meal. I didn't have so much money, so I had to borrow some from others. .”

Speaking of this, Qiu Qingquan's eyes flashed with fierceness. If he hadn't been tricked by Gao Fuman this time, he wouldn't have owed so much debt. And the most hateful thing was that Gao Fuman was obsessed with Jinxiu.

"What?" Mr. Qiu almost shouted, and his hands shook three times. It's a full fifty taels. The family can't afford so much money now.

Although the Qiu family has many strong men, they also eat a lot. In addition, they also support Qiu Qingquan, a scholar, so they can save a little money every year by digging and searching.

The three great joyous events in life are the time when one is named on the gold medal list, the wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land. The Qiu family had a double happiness, and it was time to celebrate it. In addition, the village chief spent a lot of money to let his granddaughter get married in a glamorous manner, so the groom's family would only have to spend more.

"You, alas!" Mr. Qiu sighed, "The last time you two got married, the family had a big party, and the family's savings over the years have been almost spent. When the eldest and the second eldest come back, I will go and talk to them. , the family should be able to scrape together about five taels of silver, but we can’t come up with more.”

Mr. Qiu said, looking at Zhang Jinxiu aside.

Judging from the last banquet, the village chief's family obviously has a surplus of food, but he can't talk about it, so he has to talk to his grandson's wife.

Qiu Qingquan obviously thought so too, looking at his wife beside him with burning eyes.

Zhang Jinxiu's face was stiff, but the words had been spoken just now, and it would not be good to regret it now, so she had to agree temporarily and said that she would go back and ask.

The last time Zhang Jinxiu threatened her with death, although her grandfather still helped her, the knot in her heart must have remained, and fifty taels of silver was an astronomical sum for the people in the countryside.

Qiu Qingquan only had three days of monthly leave. After dinner, Zhang Jinxiu went home. She had to go to her parents' family to discuss raising money.

The village chief went out for business this morning and came back late at noon. When Zhang Jinxiu arrived, the Zhang family was still eating.Seeing her come in, the Zhang family was obviously a little surprised. Mother Zhang said, "Why is Sister Xiu back now? Have you eaten? Do you want some more?"

The eldest aunt and the second aunt looked a little ugly, but they didn't say anything. Qiu Qingquan was selected as a scholar at a young age, and Sister Xiu will be an official's wife in the future. There is no need to offend others just for a few bites.

"No need, I've eaten." Zhang Jinxiu looked at her grandfather and bit her lip, "Grandpa, mother, you guys eat first. After eating, I have something to tell grandpa."

"Okay." The village chief picked up the bowl and took a bite of the rice. "You go to your previous room and rest for a while. I'll be there later."

The rest of the Zhang family looked curious, but Zhang's mother looked worried. Her daughter went home to ask for help. It must be something that even the Qiu family couldn't solve.

The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and planned to find a way to eavesdrop.

Although Qiu Qingquan seems to have a bright future, he has not brought any substantial benefits to the Zhang family so far. On the contrary, he has taken a lot from the Zhang family. For example, at the last wedding banquet, the old man made a big deal in order to give Sister Xiu face. , the money was taken from my father-in-law.

That was the hard-earned hard-earned money of their family, but she, Zhang Jinxiu, did nothing and enjoyed the fruits easily.If her father-in-law hadn't suppressed the fact that Qiu Qingquan was a scholar, she would have been unhappy. After all, if Zhang Jinxiu took away too much, there would be less left for her children.

Moreover, how long has it been since you asked your family for help again?What do you want to take away from home this time?

Zhang Jinxiu returned to her childhood room, sat on the edge of the bed and lowered her head, thinking about what she would say later.

After a while, the door opened and the village chief walked in and sat on the chair opposite her.

"Tell me, what happened to the Qiu family that made you come back for help?" the village chief said, lighting a cigarette and puffing slowly.

Zhang Jinxiu pondered for a moment and then said: "After Qiu Lang returned to the academy, his classmates knew that he was newly married and they teased him to treat him. Scholars are thin-skinned, so Qiu Lang refused but agreed. Who knew that classmate had bad intentions and made Qiu Lang owe him a debt? I owe a lot of debt. My father-in-law said that the last time we got married, we spent all our money on the banquet, so I came home to ask my grandfather for help."

Zhang Jinxiu's voice was choked as she spoke, "I came back to ask for help at home because I had no other option. Grandpa, please help us."

The village chief frowned and asked, "How many are missing?"

Zhang Jinxiu carefully looked at his grandfather's face and said, "Fifty taels."

"How many did you say?" the village chief asked in disbelief.

"Fifty taels." Zhang Jinxiu lowered her head and spoke louder.

The village chief's frown deepened, "Normally, five taels of silver can be used for a year. What kind of food can I eat for fifty taels? Is this food made with silver?"

"What if Qiu Lang was tricked?" Zhang Jinxiu gritted her teeth when talking about this. "Even if Qiu Lang was on guard, he could not withstand the calculations of someone with intentions. After all, who would have thought of getting along with each other in the academy?" Why would a classmate who has been with you for so long try to trick you?"

The village chief frowned and said, "My family doesn't have that much money, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

Zhang Jinxiu didn't expect that her family would be able to come up with fifty taels of silver, but she just had to count out a decent amount so that she could go back and pay the bills.

"Grandpa, please help us." Zhang Jinxiu said, kneeling in front of the village chief, "You also know that Qiu Lang is very good at studying, and now he has won the title of scholar again. As long as our family helps us get through this difficulty, we will definitely Keep this in mind, and I will definitely not refuse if I need help at home in the future."

"Come on! You and Qiu Qingquan have taken so many things from home in the name of being scholars. As for the reward, I haven't seen it at all." The eldest aunt came in from behind the door and said in a very rude tone.

Zhang Jinxiu didn't pay any attention to her sarcasm. In her opinion, the eldest aunt could just talk about it and the only one who could really make the decision in the family was her grandfather. As long as his grandfather relented, this matter could be done.
