Zhuzi's mother was dumbfounded. She clearly owed him eight taels of silver, but now she had to pay him two taels.

When Zhuzi heard that he was going to give the old lady two taels of silver, his face changed immediately, "My mother didn't touch your grandma, she fell down by herself."

"You have no say. She's your mother, and you will definitely side with her." Fugui spoke with confidence.

The old lady thought it looked promising, so she acted more convincingly, with a constant humming sound.

Zhuzi's mother was somewhat doubtful whether she had really bumped into the old lady just now. It didn't look like a fake. In case she was really injured, it would be better not to give up the eight taels of silver.

But he must not lose in terms of momentum. "Don't pretend. I didn't even touch you just now."

He simply lay on the ground, confidently saying, "How could I fall if you didn't touch me?"

The old lady grabbed the hem of Zhuzi's mother's clothes and said, "Hurry up and pay the money. You can't leave without paying the money."

Zhuzi and his mother were frightened by the old lady's move. Zhuzi's mother hurriedly tried to recall whether she had touched the old lady just now, but she couldn't remember it at all, as if she had lost her memory.

The old lady saw that the two men's arrogance had subsided. This trick worked, so she refused to give in. "You don't want to pay me, right? I'll find someone to carry me to your doorstep. At worst, I'll die there. Anyway, I'm old and I've lived enough."

Zhuzi's mother is now undecided. Paying two more taels of silver is definitely not an option. Zhuzi's face needs to be treated, and if she had two more taels of silver, maybe it could be cured.

But this old lady is a well-known shrew, and she is really capable of doing such a thing. Even if she didn't die at the doorstep, just lying there would be disgusting.

Why don't we talk it over and just offset the money from both families and just consider it bad luck.

"How about we both compromise. You don't have to give me money, and I won't give you money either. If it really doesn't work, we can ask the village head to judge the matter. He is the most fair."

The old lady rolled her eyes. If the head of the village came, wouldn't her pretending to be sick be exposed? She couldn't let the head of the village come. That would mean she wouldn't be able to get the two taels of silver. But it was also good. At least she wouldn't have to pay the other party eight taels.

They really dared to ask for a lot, and they just opened their mouths and asked for a lot of money. The hands that were pulling the other person's clothes finally let go. They were a little tired, so they changed to a lying position.

"Ouch~ My waist~ It hurts~ It must be because I fell just now. I agree with what you said just now. Let's take a step back and neither of us will compensate the other."

When Niu Jinshui came back from the river, he saw his grandmother lying at the doorstep. He was no longer surprised, as this trick had always worked for him.

There were two people standing next to him. The boy had obvious scratches on his face. I didn't know who was careless enough to do that, but could nails really scratch like that? I didn't go near, but just watched from a distance.

Listening to them discussing compensation, it turned out that grandma is very talented in playing rogue.

After seeing that the two people didn't argue with Grandma and walked away angrily, I dared to step forward.

He wanted to help the person up, but he didn't expect that the grandma was so strong. She pushed him away and stood up by herself. She was even able to bend down flexibly and brush the dirt off her body. Jinshui was enlightened again today.

"Humph~ You only have that little ability, and you still want to ask me for money? No way~"

Turning around and seeing the gloves on Fugui's hands, he felt worried again, "How can I get this thing off~"

Jinshui followed the direction that grandma was looking and saw that it was the lost glove, and it was actually Fugui who took it.

It turned out that he had prepared the area well last time and waited for a time when no one was around to steal, which resulted in his hands being cut by the weeds.

I was so angry, but I didn't dare to lose my temper in front of Fugui, so I had to endure it for now.

Just now grandma told me how to get it off. Isn't it very easy to get it off? While I was hesitating, I saw Fugui trying hard to take off his gloves, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take them off.

Jin Shui sneered in his heart, you have come to this day, but it is not good for grandma to go in directly here, so he still cares about it, "What's the matter?"

Fugui felt very uncomfortable when he saw Jinshui's expression. It was obviously her things, but he took them and she pretended not to know her.

Seeing that I couldn't take them off, she didn't help and even dared to laugh at me. Oh, these gloves are Jinshui's, she must have a way, it won't be too late to settle the score after I take off the gloves.

Fugui stretched out his hand in front of Jinshui and ordered, "Take it off."

How could someone use such an attitude when asking for help? Jinshui didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him, he knew it was grandma.

It seems that I have to help, so I might as well pretend to use force and say that I can’t take it off.

Jin Shui pulled at the gloves, but didn't use any force at first. He found that it didn't move at all. He tried a little harder but still couldn't take it off. Could it be that he really couldn't take it off? To verify his idea, he tried again, but it slipped out of his hand. He leaned back and sat on the ground.

Just now I also felt like I was bitten by a lot of small bugs, which was really strange.

Fugui was dumbfounded when he saw that Jinshui couldn't take off the gloves. He didn't feel very scared just now, thinking that he could wait for the owner of the gloves to come back and he would be able to take them off. However, looking at the current situation, that was not possible and cold sweat broke out on his head.

"This is not your glove, why can't I take it off? I see you just don't want to take it off for me."

Fugui was so angry that he kicked Niu Jinshui.

Jinshui is light and strong, and he has been working all year round, so he is very agile. He jumped to the side and dodged the kick.

Fugui couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

When the old lady saw her beloved grandson fall, she quickly walked over and helped him up while glaring at Niu Jinshui, "Why were you hiding just now? A kick won't do anything. You made Fugui fall."

Jinshui had always known that Grandma was an extremely biased person. Today, he finally saw how biased she could be. He ignored the two of them and went straight into the house.

The old lady led Fugui to the door and said in a slightly slower tone, "Fugui just said that was your glove, take it off for him."

"I can't take it off. Didn't you see it just now? And those gloves are not mine." Jin Shui tried his best to suppress his anger.

Fugui's voice was filled with tears, "You are lying, I saw you wearing it to dig wild vegetables with my own eyes."

The old lady felt so distressed when she heard her precious grandson crying, "Hurry up and take it off for him."

Jin Shui took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, repeating this several times before finally speaking, "That glove belongs to Ni'er. She lent it to me. As for why I can't take it off, I don't know. Why don't you go ask her?"

There was despair in Fugui's eyes. He should have thought that Jinshui could not have such a thing. Now he still owed Ni'er's family three taels of silver. If he didn't pay it back, he would never be able to take off the gloves in his life.
