The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Jiang Muxia stared at him, feeling indescribable. He couldn't hide or escape, was this really a bad fate?

Lu Chaoyun laughed dryly twice. She didn't like this person since the first time she met him.

As someone who had experienced this, she could naturally see that he had plans for her daughter.

He is not a good match for me. If my daughter marries him, she will suffer sooner or later.

Besides, she had already found a man for her daughter, so it seemed that they had to settle the marriage as soon as possible.

"Tang Juecao, what a coincidence. We live so close to each other, and our safety depends on you." Lu Chaoyun made a decision that he could not let his daughter live here.

"Of course." Tang Zhongbai said, "Are distant relatives not as good as close neighbors?"

After a few greetings, Lu Chaoyun took his daughter into the yard.

Jiang Muxia went straight to the woodshed, picked up the firewood and went into the upper room. The stove had been installed yesterday after the yard was purchased.

My parents can live here and spend the winter safely.

It took less than a quarter of an hour for the stove to be lit and the room became warm.

Jiang Mutao helped Lu Chaoyun make the bed and clean the room. Little Muyang had already moved a small stool and sat in front of the stove.

"Yangyang, do you want to sleep here with your parents, or go to the shop with your elder and second sisters?" Jiang Muxia asked him while fiddling with the firewood with a fire hook.

"Hmm." Jiang Muyang tilted his head and turned his big eyes to think about it, "How about I sleep with my sisters. Dad and mom get up early and have to take care of me, which is too tiring. If I live in the shop, they will have less to worry about."

When Lu Chaoyun heard her son's words of sympathy for her, her eyes and brows curved with smile.

"What a good boy." Jiang Muxia smiled and touched his head, then said to Lu Chaoyun, "Okay, everything is ready. There is rice and vegetables in the kitchen, you can make dinner yourself. Or I can ask Dad to come back and bring some. Remember to bolt the door when you are home alone."

"Okay, let's go." Lu Chaoyun said impatiently, but his face was full of smiles.

The three siblings left the house and when they reached the door of Tang Zhongbai's house, the door rang and Xu Da and Fu Zi came out.

Jiang Muxia was extremely surprised, "Why are you here?"

Xu Da ignored her expression and said calmly, "I have something to ask Brother Tang. Let's go together."

Jiang Muxia had a strange feeling in her heart. Was she being plotted against?

"Brother Xu, tell me the truth." She frowned and stared at Xu Da, "Did you buy the yard next to his house on purpose?"

"Yes." Xu Da admitted readily, "Living here will ensure safety."

"We don't need it." Jiang Muxia's face darkened. This was the person she always wanted to hide from, but this newly recognized brother had brought her family into the tiger's mouth.

"Master Xu, I don't know what you are thinking. I am telling you very clearly now that it is impossible for Tang Zhongbai and I to be together. I will not sleep with him." After she said this seriously, she took her sister-in-law away.

"Sister Jiang, wait a minute." Fuzi ran a few steps to catch up, "You really misunderstood the head of the family. He really wants your best."

Jiang Muxia became even angrier when he heard the words "for your own good". He was still as self-righteous as ever.

She ignored Fuzi, quickened her pace, and left the two behind.

"Master, what should we do? She is really angry." Fuzi stopped and looked at Xu Da.

The master and servant stood where they were. Xu Da, with a calm demeanor, watched the three siblings walking further and further away.

He spoke slowly, "It's okay, she's a smart person and will understand."

Jiang Muxia and the other two returned to the restaurant, where Jiang Yuzhou and the craftsmen sat at the table drinking tea.

"Dad." Jiang Muxia was surprised that they had already finished work when it was only a little after the hour of Yin. "Why did you finish work so early today?"

"The work is done. Everyone is waiting for Master Xu to pay their wages so they can go home." Jiang Yuzhou said.

"Aren't there still a few shops left? Are you not going to do it anymore?" Jiang Yuzhou told Lu Chaoyun last night that he had taken on the job of building firewalls for several shops, so why did he want to return to the village now?

"The ferry will be closed in more than half a month, so we will continue working after the shop closes." Jiang Yuzhou said.

Jiang Muxia nodded and said to everyone: "Master Xu will be back soon, everyone wait a moment."

The next day, before dawn, everyone went to the kitchen to start a new day's work.

Jiang Yuzhou earned five taels of silver from the construction of the tavern, but before he could even warm it in his arms, it was taken away by Lu Chaoyun when he returned home.

With so much silver, I can only hand over one or two taels to my family. I can’t let the eldest brother’s family get it for nothing.

As soon as noon arrived, passengers came in like flowing water, most of whom were porters and boatmen working at the ferry.

Occasionally, people came in in groups of three or four, and their clothes looked like they were the managers of the ferry.

People come and go, and although the diners are all men, they just want to fill their stomachs, and everything is in order.

It was just past noon, and apart from a few diners who wanted to keep warm and rest in the restaurant, there were almost no people on the upper and lower floors.

The door curtain rang and someone else came in.

The leader was a tall and burly man with a slightly dark skin, followed by seven or eight ruffian-looking men of various appearances. Their eyes were circling around Jiang Muxia with a lustful look on their faces.

Jiang Muxia knew at first sight that the visitor had ill intentions, and on the second day after opening, someone came to cause trouble.

She snorted in her heart, but the smile on her face became even wider.

"Please come in, everyone. My restaurant only has two dishes, minced meat pilaf and steamed noodles." Jiang Muxia invited them inside.

As long as they don't take action, she will naturally treat them with courtesy.

The big man waved his hand and said, "We'll take the rest. Bring me two more jars of wine."

A porter saw these people and hurriedly got up and left. When passing by the counter, he whispered to Jiang Muxia to be careful of these people.

Jiang Muxia smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.

What made her happy was that among them she saw old friends whom she had not seen for many years.

I wanted to look for this person after the restaurant was stable, but unexpectedly, God had eyes and he came to me on his own.

Pingluo, I will make sure that your family of four lives happily in this life.

She guessed that Fang Guizhi had already told this person about her work at the ferry, and wondered if he was instigating these people to come to the restaurant.

In either case, you will not succeed.

She instructed Li Jiyi to put the little remaining food on plates and place them all on the two tables where these people were sitting.

She gestured for him to clean up the table and go back to the backyard.

How could Li Jiyi leave her alone in the lobby? He pretended to clean up other tables and was reluctant to leave.

She sat at the counter, fiddling with an abacus, and ignored these people.

Seven or eight people swept away the food on the table in a flash. After wiping their mouths, one of them slammed the table and shouted, "Boss, pay the money."

Li Jiyi picked up the bowl and stood beside Jiang Muxia, staring at these people with a fierce look.

Jiang Muxia didn't even raise her head, and continued to fiddle with the abacus, occasionally making a note in the account book.

"What money?"

"Brother, look..." someone laughed, "You are really a little girl, you don't know any rules."

The man walked up to the counter and slapped it. "Everyone who does business in Suanzao County must pay tribute to my brother. Since you are a young girl, you can pay now."

Jiang Muxia put down the pen, looked up and smiled calmly: "Pay tribute? Your eldest brother is dead?"
