âAh! The Xiao Familyâs wife, really, thereâs no need to give moreâ¦â Aunt Zhang wanted to call out to her, but she had already walked away,
Auntie Hua, holding the weighed half-bag of flour, said on the side, âThe Zhang Family, villagers say that Su Qingyue is a thief and has a wicked heart, but I think sheâs not bad.â
âThatâs just a rumor.â Aunt Zhang, although only received one cent more from others, still felt indebted, âSu Qingyue is quite a nice person. She was originally a mute and not worth much. After she became deaf, she was even less valuable. But now she is neither deaf nor mute, and quite clever. The townâs saying that she stole steamed buns might not be true. She isnât greedy at all. This morning, I wanted to give her fifty copper coins, but she refused to take even one.â
Su Qingyue didnât hear Aunt Zhang praising her like this. If she had, she would definitely say she is actually very greedy, very greedy indeed!
Auntie Hua also looked admiring, âNowadays, the Xiao family is so poor⦠fifty copper coins are not a small amount, she didnât even want it. Su Qingyue really has a backbone.â
âIsnât it? Qian Duotianâs wife Qian Zhangshi and other old women are dying of envy, wishing the fifty copper coins were given to them.â
âDonât bother with those greedy old women.â
âThe Xiao familyâs three men are also good. They were forced to sell the house but refused to sell their wife. They are truly three good men. If it were other men, they would have sold their wives long ago. Su Qingyue, despite being capable, still doesnât look good.â
âUs women, just have a hard life, and which man doesnât like beautiful womenâ¦â
âAlright. Hua family, Iâve collected the flour money from you too.â Aunt Zhang said, âIâm going to go inside and weigh another three jin of flour, then I have to go to the field to dig up five jin of ginger to send to the Xiao Family. Iâll be busy first. Su Qingyue and the Xiao familyâs men have backbone and donât accept my help, so Iâll just weigh an extra half jin of flour.â
âZhang Family, youâre really a good person.â
âIâm not helping everyone. Granny Sun, Qan Zhangshi, Liu Xianglian familyâs snobbish people, even if they stick money to me, I wonât helpâ¦â
âThe Xiao familyâs wife said thereâs no dinner tonight, so youâd better hurry. You go ahead and get busy.â
Su Qingyue, with her elbow holding the basket, walked quickly towards the
Xiao Family and found that many people were heading in the same direction. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYo! The Xiao Familyâs wife, youâre just going home now? Itâs already darkâ¦âQian Zhangshi saw her and hurriedly greeted her.
âSomething held me up.â She walked fast, and many people on the road were
surprised that she was just returning.
From a distance, she saw many people standing in the Xiao Familyâs courtyard, and more people coming.
Without a doubt, these people were here to watch the excitement.
âXiao Yishan, donât say I didnât give you a chance! Itâs nightfall now, and if you canât come up with the five taels of silver, hand over the house deed!â Granny Sunâs loud voice could be heard from far away.
âWait a little longer.â Xiao Yishanâs calm voice came from the house.
âStill waiting!â Granny Sun was so angry that she stomped her feet, âDo you, the Xiao Family, not keep your word? It was agreed this morning that you would pay back the five taels, and if you couldnât give the money, you would hand over the house deed. How can Xiao Familyâs words be like fart!â
Zhou Fuquan was also at the scene, and he persuaded, âSecond Brother Xiao said to wait. You just wait a little more.â
âIâve been waiting for a long time!â Granny Sun stood at the door of the Xiao Familyâs master bedroom, pointing at the two men lying on the master bedroomâs bed and scolding, âYou two are not men, you go back on your words.. With five taels, even if you had another ten days you wouldnât be able to raise it!â
