Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Qian Xiuzhu walked to her father-in-law and said, "Dad, don't blame me for talking too much. It's only one hundred taels of silver. Even if they empty the house, it's not worth so much. The family can't sell their sons and daughters just because of my brother-in-law, right?"

At this point, her eyes turned red, "Don't tell me I'm still alive. Even if I'm dead, if someone sells my child, I can't let her go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Old Man Jiang kowtowed his cigarette pole with a sad look on his face, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about! Old man, I'm not dead yet, and this family can't be separated!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

As soon as Old Man Jiang spoke, Dafang and his son immediately stopped.

The two parties, who had become a little angry after pushing and shoving, gradually calmed down.

After hearing this, the debtor's anger surged in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Let me tell you clearly! Even if you sue the government for the hundred taels of silver, you won't be able to escape. If you don't pay today, you will lose more than one hundred taels of silver tomorrow." One hundred taels!"

Old Man Jiang glanced at the young man who was leading him across from him, and his body stooped a little, "Just wait."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.

Seeing that the old man was relieved, Ms. Liu herself breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the mahogany box in the old man's hand, she was shocked and almost couldn't lift it up.

That was an item she used to leave her son as a family heirloom!

Just as she was about to step forward, she was grabbed by Qian Xiuzhu, "Mom, it's the best thing to repay the debt owed by your son with the money you obtained without conscience!"

Ms. Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to curse, but when she saw the eldest daughter-in-law's vicious eyes, she suddenly felt cold all over and lost all strength.

Qian Xiuzhu remembered that the miserable fate of her family in the dream was all due to this evil woman, and she wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

The dream was also the same as the current scene. The difference was that she and the head of the family did not have the heart to be cruel in the end. They cleaned up the mess for Jiang Shujian for the sake of her father-in-law. They borrowed money from door to door but it was still not enough. Mrs. Liu dragged the mute girl away just like before. He came out and paid the money.

She and the head of the family stood up to stop her. They stopped her. The mute girl was not sold that day. She only told the debt collector to wait for her father-in-law to come back and think of a solution. When his father-in-law came home, he was so angry that he almost couldn't get up when he heard about it. Mrs. Liu had a big quarrel, took out a piece of gold inlaid with jade, and said she would go to town to pay off Jiang Shujian's debt the next day.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, while everyone was sleeping, Ms. Liu would take the mute girl who had woken up to the town and sell her to a debt collector.

The next day they went to the town again to chase him but couldn't find anyone.

This morning she told the boss that she dreamed that her brother-in-law went gambling and borrowed usury money, and owed him a hundred taels.

If the head of the family doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe it either.

Although my brother-in-law was not a promising person and was overly pampered by the Liu family, he was a child-student who passed the examination. People said he was sensible in his studies, so how could he be involved in gambling with the big bastards and second-rate bastards in the village?

If the dream hadn't been too real, she wouldn't have said it.

Although she didn't believe it, she wasn't at peace either, so when her father-in-law was about to go out today, she stopped him.

Unexpectedly, just after noon, the debt collector knocked on the door. At this time, she knew that it was not just a dream. If she didn't change it now, it would become their fate!

Thinking of this, Qian Xiuzhu tightened her grip on the back of Liu's neck, until she wanted to stretch her legs and stare.

Old Man Jiang walked up to the debt collector and handed the box in his hand to the young man.

"This is the finest gold inlaid with jade. I had it appraised by someone before. One hundred taels is a lot more."

The young man opened the box and took a look. He saw that the jade was warm and moist, and it was the best mutton-fat jade. This piece of jade alone cost a hundred taels, not to mention that there was gold on it. The evil spirit around him dissipated a lot.

Glancing at Jiang Shujian, who was slumped on the ground with his face stained with blood, he said to Old Man Jiang kindly: "Uncle, you have to talk too much. Gambling reflects your character. This second brother of yours is considered useless. Even if he doesn't gamble, he can't." He won’t have any great prospects, and he might even bring trouble to his wife and children, so it’s only proper to clean up the house as soon as possible!”

After sowing discord, the young man waved his hand and led the people away in high spirits.

As soon as the people left, Old Man Jiang who was left standing looked a little older.

The folks were furious.

"I didn't expect Uncle De's family to have such a rich fortune. It's worth a hundred taels of silver!"

Feng's old, clouded eyes shone brightly, "It's incredible, we don't even know that we are his neighbors, how can you know where to go?"

There was also the sour one, "Old Jiang is so capable, but he can't even pass the examination to become a scholar?"

"How can you, a mud-legged fellow, have the nerve to say that someone has ink in their belly? Uncle De could have saved more money than this just because of that idiot Jiang Laoer!"

The village chief also didn't expect that Uncle De's family had such a rich family, and they could easily take out jewelry worth a hundred taels.

He walked forward with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say a few words of relief, the person in front of him walked away in a hurry.

Old Man Jiang walked up to Mr. Liu who was crying heartbrokenly, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

The onlookers felt much relieved when they saw this scene, and some even clapped their hands and applauded without hesitation. Mrs. Liu's reputation in their Shili Village was not very good. Almost every mother-in-law had scolded her.

Suddenly being slapped, Mrs. Liu forgot to cry. After reacting, she straightened her arms and hit Old Man Jiang.

However, Qian Xiuzhu, who had been watching her, was already prepared and hugged Ms. Liu's waist to prevent her from getting close to her father-in-law.

"You ungrateful old man! When I married you, you were a very poor widower. Over the years, I gave you children and took care of them at home and abroad, but at the end of the day, you wanted to My life!"

She wanted to bang her head against the wall, but was restrained by the eldest daughter-in-law and couldn't move, so she had to give up pretending to seek death. She cursed Qian Xiuzhu in her heart: She doesn't usually seem to be such a discerning person, what happened today!

The mute girl who had been watching finally understood that Liu's tricks were nothing more than a shrew's three-piece suit - one crying, two making trouble, and three hanging.

In modern times, she has been living in the city for as long as she can remember, but when she was a child, she heard her mother tell many interesting things about the countryside, and now she was a little excited to face such a scene.

"Zhengmao, you are here today. Let me tell you straight. Liu Meixiang is an unkind wife and unkind mother. She has violated her words in seven outings. I, Jiang Mingde, will divorce her today!"

Jiang Zhengmao is the head of Shili Village.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.

The mute girl's eyes are shining and she has eaten a big melon!

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Jiang Shujian, who had a pig-headed face, opened his eyes wide and shouted "Dad".

Old Man Jiang didn't notice him at first, but his breathing became heavier when he saw him.

"There is also this rebellious son. I taught him to read and write since he was a child, but I didn't expect that he would be taught to be a lazy loser who loves gambling!"

One hundred taels, that’s one hundred taels! He didn't believe that one or two visits could destroy a hundred taels!

Thinking of the old lady asking him about the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law yesterday, he said angrily: "He will no longer be a member of my old Jiang family! If you gamble again, you can beat or kill him as long as he doesn't dirty my family's territory!"

Old Jiang's face was ashen and his breathing was rapid, as if he was about to hold his breath the next moment.

Mrs. Liu could no longer cry out. She had been married to the old man for so many years, how could she not know his temperament? If you say it in public, it means you really have this idea.

She screamed loudly, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

Jiang Shujian kept crying and shouting. Seeing that his father was unmoved, his mother didn't know whether she was pretending to be faint or really dizzy. Feeling that there was a heavy burden on her shoulders, she also fainted.

While others were checking on the mother and son, the dumb girl carefully observed the rise and fall of Old Jiang's chest. After hesitating for a moment, she still chose to intervene.

Although Old Man Jiang did not protect the original owner all the time, whenever he saw Liu's dishonest behavior, he would stop him and help the original owner repay the kindness.

He turned around and found Jiang Wei, who was still standing in the corner, and ran straight over.
