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 in Qingquan's name." The village chief gave his condition.

Zhang Jinxiu wanted to keep up her efforts, but the village chief waved her hand and asked her to go back and discuss it with Qiu Qingquan, and if she agreed, the Zhang family 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.

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 big honor, after all, who can give out fifty 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 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 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 looked away in embarrassment, "I understand. Is my little brother going on monthly leave? I'll pick him up."

"Not yet. Their monthly vacation coincides with the monthly exam, so they have to postpone their vacation 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.
