MTL - After Being Forced To Marry a Rough Man In the Mountains, She Was Spoiled By the Group-Chapter 5 Indebted
Chapter 5 Indebtedness
After all, there are more than a dozen people in the family, and the food alone makes her half exhausted, not to mention so many clothes, the hygiene of the house...
That evening, when she had just cleaned up the yard, she heard the voices of the Zhou family coming from the door. She didn't seem to be very happy. .
"What's the matter?" Even if Zhou Rong didn't pay much attention to her, she couldn't help but ask quietly.
Zhou Rong glanced at her, did not answer, but walked past her...
This indifference made Xi Gao clench his fists and tell himself in his heart: Life is important, don't care about dog men.
Although Zhou Rong didn't say anything, but after a while, from the slightly excited words of the Zhou family, she knew what was going on.
The Zhou family's spring ploughing was late this time. In previous years, everyone would give it to the Zhou family because of Zhou Rong, a scholar, but this time, everyone in the village knew that Zhou Rong had no money to take the exam, and when he took the exam before, he also gave it to the Zhou family. Not the leader, and it doesn't seem to be ideal, so their attitude has changed.
In addition, there used to be two cattle in the village, but now one is sick, and only one is left. In order to rush the spring ploughing, no one wants to let it go. On the contrary, the run on the Zhou family has made the Zhou family cheaper every year. It's not good to annoy the Zhou family.
"They deliberately delayed because they didn't want us to have a good harvest," Chen said angrily, clenching his fists.
Murderers are not so vicious.
If the spring ploughing falls behind, it will affect the harvest, and the food, drink and chew of the family in the second half of the year will be dangerous.
"There's no money at home, so if you don't even have food..." Mrs. Lin, the third-eldest Zhou Shun's daughter-in-law, said hesitantly, holding her youngest daughter, but she was reprimanded by Zhou Shun.
"Don't make a mess, what are you talking about?"
Lin Shi, who was originally worried, was scolded by Zhou Shun, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Am I talking nonsense, adults are starving, tighten their belts, and they'll be over, but what about children? Our little flowers are still young, and they are already weak. If we can't drink rice porridge in winter, can we raise them? ?" The more Lin Shi said, the more aggrieved, he couldn't help crying: "What's more, in order to bury the four members of the Xi family, the fourth brother borrowed fifty taels of silver from his husband, but he didn't bring back a single penny. I went for more than a hundred taels, can I be in a hurry?"
Xi Yao's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that Zhou Rong and the others would spend so much money going back and forth in just a few days.
She was so angry at Lin's innuendo that she felt that she was too naive.
The Zhou family didn't like to see her, and if they wanted to drive her away that day, for example, in winter, when the family couldn't get enough to eat, she would be the first to be sacrificed. Will freeze to death, and starve to death.
The thought of made Xi Yao shudder immediately, thinking it was terrible.
The Zhou family has no money, and neither does she.
She has to find a way to get some money...
"Oh," Chen sighed knowing that the daughters-in-law in the family were unhappy, "The Xi family is too aggressive. If the marriage fails, they will ruin the reputation of the fourth child. How important is the reputation of this scholar, I am I have no choice but to agree, I can't let the fourth child's reputation be ruined!"
Xi Yao has been wondering what is going on in this marriage.
But I didn't expect that the Xi family did such a dirty job.
Well, the result is her responsibility again.
