The group of people were already getting impatient. It was so slow to withdraw money. They wondered if they were making their own money. They stood at the door and shouted inside.

"Hurry up, you have to take out the money today."

The old lady held her money pocket, thinking that she would take as much money as possible. She was annoyed by those people urging her, so she walked out with a frown on her face.

He took out the silver coins and weighed them in his hand. It was exactly five taels. The silver had turned black from being rubbed for a long time.

The old lady clenched it tightly, then slowly loosened it, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and put it into the leader's hand.

The leader pinched the silver coins with two fingers, put them into his mouth one by one, bit them with his teeth, saw small pits, and nodded with satisfaction.

"If you had taken it out earlier, it would have been done earlier." He turned around and raised the silver in his hand, "Brothers, let's go~"

The eldest and the second oldest were brothers as expected. They turned their heads away at the same time, unable to bear to watch.

The old lady shouted, “Wait.”

The leader was a little confused. What else was going on?

He held out his hand and said, "Bring me the documents."

He took it out of his arms and handed it to the old lady, where it was immediately torn to pieces.

The group of people left Niujia Village in a mighty manner, and the village finally had some peace and quiet.

The old lady glanced around and said, "What are you looking at? They are all gone~"

Ni'er was still upset about the bowl of black dog blood she had that morning, "Grandma, don't forget the three taels of silver you owe us~"

Although I know that I will never get the money back, as long as I can make them feel uncomfortable, I have achieved my goal.

The old lady glared at Ni'er fiercely but didn't dare to say anything. The second son didn't even dare to glare at her and helped his mother into the house.

Boss Niu escaped the disaster, his face was pale and he looked very scary. He went into the house, lay down on the kang, and fell asleep.

The onlookers dispersed, and the third brother's family was no exception.

The third brother and Ni'er's stomachs were rumbling.

Yan Zi thought about going back quickly to heat up the food so that people wouldn’t starve, so she went straight into the house when she got home.

Nier grabbed her father's hand, shook her head, and shouted to her mother: "Mom, make us another brazier~"

The third brother then understood what Ni'er meant. This was the right thing to do to get rid of the bad luck on his body. He couldn't just go into the house.

Yan Zi and Niu Li quickly made a brazier and placed it at the door.

When Nier stepped over, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After heating up the food, Ni'er and Lao San were so hungry that they stuffed the food into their mouths in big mouthfuls. Yan Zi kept putting food into their bowls.

I didn't slow down until I finished the bowl of corn rice. I had never tasted rice so delicious.

The third brother was a little undecided, "Ni'er, are you still going to make soy milk today?"

Nier wiped her mouth, removed the rice grains stuck on her hands and ate them.

"Of course I will. After what happened today, the reputation of our soy milk will spread even further. We should have more customers than before. If you don't believe me, Dad, you will know tomorrow."

The third brother naturally believed what Ni'er said.

Then she remembered that her daughter was a little too flamboyant just now. "Nier, you just said in front of so many people that the county magistrate gave us a calligraphy work. Don't do that again in the future. It won't make people jealous."

Ni'er didn't think so. "Dad, if the county magistrate sent it, he definitely wouldn't send it secretly. Besides, if we open a tofu workshop in the future, we have to hang the calligraphy outside. It's okay to tell him in advance."

"This also has its advantages. Others won't dare to bully us at will."

Nier's mind flashed with the image of her second uncle's face changing color when he heard this. She felt so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

After all, he is my father's biological brother, so I can't go too far and have to hold it back with all my strength.

The third brother had always believed that if there was any good thing, he should just keep it to himself and those close to him, and never tell others about it for fear of making others jealous.

It turns out that I can tell everyone so loudly that I have a narrow vision.

Finally, there was no danger. After the meal, the family of four talked and laughed, and got busy making tofu to be delivered to the restaurant tomorrow.

The old lady ate absent-mindedly, taking bites at a time. The others didn't dare to breathe and only picked up the food in front of them.

I tried not to make any noise, for fear of upsetting grandma. A scolding would be the least of my worries.

The eldest brother did not come to the table. He was in a daze the whole time. He was frightened by what happened today and could not sleep well.

His brows were furrowed for a moment, then slightly relaxed, and he was humming something inaudible.

The second child felt a little scared. If he was selling soy milk today, the person lying on the kang might not be his brother.

The old lady originally thought that she didn't have to pay back the money owed to the third son, but how come he got in touch with the county magistrate? So, she had to give the money away.

His eyes drooped, his expression became increasingly gloomy, and his hands almost stopped moving, like a lifeless body.

The second son thought the same thing as his mother and sighed unconsciously.

"Mom, are you going to return the money to the third brother?"

The old lady seemed to have made up her mind. She came to her senses and knocked on the bowl in front of the second son. "We are eating. Why are you talking about such a bad thing?"

I immediately shut my mouth and secretly observed my mother's expression. I guess... probably... she wouldn't give it to me.

As long as mother refuses to give it, the money belongs to my eldest brother and myself. The more we can save, the better. Three taels of silver is not a small amount.

Nier's eyes lit up when she heard a dog barking in the distance.

If we had a dog at home, we would have discovered the situation this morning earlier, and maybe even bit the person so that she would never dare to come again.

Where can I find this dog? Or I can look for a dog that has given birth to puppies and ask for one. Niu Li will be busy again.

After the old lady finished her meal, she suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks, which scared everyone else. They didn't understand what was going on, so they stood up, walked quickly to the eldest brother's door, and looked inside.

There were only vague outlines and incomprehensible mumblings. He sighed, immediately perked up, and walked angrily towards the fortune-teller's house.

The county magistrate had been worried about his niece, but it was already dark now, and he couldn't go to visit an unmarried woman, so he sent someone to keep him informed.

Miss Lin took the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhao and had some moxibustion, and she felt much better.

Seeing that the young lady was fine, the maid was finally relieved and knelt down, "Young lady, it's all my fault. Please punish me."

Miss Lin waved her hand, and the maid quickly knelt down and moved forward, put her ear close to him, listened carefully, and nodded from time to time.

After receiving the lady's order, he immediately stood up, walked out of the room quickly and closed the door tightly.

He looked around and saw no one else, so he whispered a few words to the person sent by the county magistrate.

While waiting for the man to leave, he entered an inconspicuous room. Soon, several painful whimpers were heard from inside.

The old lady didn't expect this and wanted to find the fortune teller to get her money back.
