This was exactly what Meng Lan was waiting for. She was not in a hurry and asked Mrs. Fu calmly.

"How do you discuss this?"

"Give me... ten taels of silver, and you can take this girl away." Old Mrs. Fu hesitated for a moment and gave a number.

She felt that although Meng Lan and the others didn't seem to have much money, she had accepted a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver from them, so they should be able to come up with ten taels of silver now.

When Old Lady Fu said this, Fu Xinren first looked at his mother in surprise, and then looked at her with approval.

Fu Xinren thought, the older you are, the wiser you are. In this way, their family has not lost anything. It's just a pity that if He Erhua and Fu Yinzhang are gone, there will be no one to do the housework in the future. But it doesn't matter, there is still his mother.

Seeing that Meng Lan didn't answer for a long time, Mrs. Fu became a little flustered.

Is ten taels of silver too much? Could it be that the other party can't come up with ten taels of silver?

"How about this, you just give me eight taels of silver. After all, she is my granddaughter, so I won't bother with you so much. Give me eight taels of silver, and you can take this girl Fu Yinzhang away." After hesitating for a moment, Old Mrs. Fu said to Meng Lan.

Meng Lan lowered her head and stared at her toes, looking calm and composed.

Whether it was ten taels or eight taels, she could get it even if she searched the entire house clean.

But even if she could come up with so much money, why should she give it to the Fu family?

When she married He Erhua to Fu Xinren, she accepted a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. However, He Erhua and Fu Xinren were so righteous that she could never return the money to the Fu family!

He Erhua had worked like a slave for the Fu family for so many years, and even gave birth to a daughter for Fu Xinren. If anyone was to give, it had to be the Fu family that gave He Erhua.

As for the ten taels of betrothal gift that the original body used on He Tianci, Meng Lan will not only compensate her daughter herself, but also let He Tianci compensate his sisters.

When encountering someone who is bargaining, the first move is to not move until the other party moves. Whoever moves first loses.

Before Miss Shaoyao came, it was the He family who begged the Fu family to take Fu Yinzhang away.

After Miss Shaoyao came, the Fu family had to beg the He family to pay to take Fu Yinzhang away. The initiative was reversed, and Meng Lan still wanted to show off and kill the Fu family's spirit!

"Okay, okay. I know your family is poor. If you don't have eight taels, you should have five taels. If it's less, I might as well wait a few years and sell it to someone else."

Seeing Meng Lan's stubborn attitude, Old Lady Fu was completely convinced. She had never seen anyone so poor before! She couldn't even take out five taels of silver.

After Old Lady Fu offered the price three times, Meng Lan finally raised her head. She estimated that this was almost the other party's bottom line. Meng Lan did not agree in a hurry, but shook her head first.

"My family can't afford five taels of silver. We only have brown rice at home. If you are willing, I will use the brown rice as payment. You can eat it later or exchange it for money."

How could she, who was reluctant to spend her own money even on a piece of tofu, give such a large sum of money to the Fu family? That was her own money!

Although the pork and brown rice she snatched from the supermarket were about the same price, pork is a good thing. How could it be given cheaply to these scumbags?

She didn't plan to give the Fu family the good brown rice. The house still had some old rice that her original body had collected, so she took all of that first. If it was not enough, she could get normal brown rice.

Finally found a place to dispose of all the junk that the original body bought. Once this is done, the house will definitely be a lot cleaner, Meng Lan thought to herself.

Meng Lan's remarks shocked Old Lady Fu again. She was so poor that she couldn't even take out five taels of silver in cash.

If Fu Yinzhang is kept for a few more years, she will have to eat a lot, which will also cost money. It is better to sell her to the He family. If there is no cash, it can be exchanged for some rice. If the family has no money to spend in the future, they can ask her for money and let Fu Yinzhang take care of them in their old age...

Old Mrs. Fu was calculating carefully, and her thoughts were all twisted and dark.

"Okay, then bring me five taels of silver worth of brown rice tomorrow, and you can take the girl away," said Old Lady Fu.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Meng Lan did not hesitate and turned to speak to the county magistrate in front of her.

"Sir, now our two families have reached an agreement. The Fu family agrees that we can take Fu Yinzhang away as well."

"Okay, I will make the judgment now." The county magistrate nodded. He was very pleased with the result.

Unconsciously, he looked up to Meng Lan. There is still a grandmother in this world who loves her granddaughter so much that she would rather give up her own food rations to exchange her granddaughter back.

"Sir, I want to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter, old lady?"

"I beg you to sentence my daughter He Erhua and Fu Xinren to break off relations, and also sentence Fu Yinzhang to sever ties with the Fu family. From now on, Fu Xinren will no longer have this daughter, and Fu Yinzhang will no longer have Fu Xinren as a father!"

Meng Lan glanced at Fu Yinzhang.

It’s better to break off ties with the Fu family as soon as possible!

He Erhua and Fu Xinren were just husband and wife, and after they broke up, they had nothing to do with each other's marriage.

But when it comes to Fu Yinzhang, there are some problems. She is Fu Xinren's biological daughter. If she doesn't get rid of it once and for all, Fu Xinren will rely on Fu Yinzhang in the future, which will really be endless trouble.

In this era, filial piety can crush people to death.

In that case, then she, as a grandmother, would nip everything in the bud for Fu Yinzhang so that she could grow up without any worries.

Old Mrs. Fu's plan failed. She glared at Meng Lan fiercely and said to the county magistrate.

"Sir, our family does not want to sever ties with us. This Fu Yinzhang has the blood of our Fu family flowing in it, how can we sever ties with him?"

She kept on nagging, saying this was not allowed, that was not allowed. Did she think that this county government was owned by her family? The county magistrate was almost irritated by the nagging of Old Lady Fu. He had never seen such a shameless person before.

"All right!"

The county magistrate slammed the table, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Fu Yinzhang is awarded to He Erhua. The He family will give the Fu family rice worth five taels of silver. From now on, Fu Yinzhang has nothing to do with the Fu family! You, the Fu family, can only choose one person or one thing. Do you have any objections to this judgment?"

The county magistrate rolled his eyes at Old Lady Fu after he finished speaking. How could this person be so greedy? He wanted both. Today, he was here to tell her that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Seeing that the county magistrate was angry, Old Lady Fu and Fu Xinren became much more obedient.

After the mother and son exchanged glances, Fu Xinren answered, "Sir, then we have no objection."

After both parties signed and sealed the judgment document, He Erhua and her daughter no longer had any relationship with the Fu family.

He Erhua and Fu Xinren severed their relationship and from then on they had nothing to do with each other regardless of their marriage.

Fu Yinzhang and Fu Xinren severed their relationship and from then on, they had no more contact with each other despite life, old age, sickness and death.

Meng Lan will deliver the rice to Fu's house tomorrow morning, and the matter will be completely settled.

Many years ago, the original body personally sent He Erhua to this place. Now, Meng Lan personally brought her daughter and granddaughter home.

After the trial, Meng Lan and the others went to the town gate, where Meng Chuncao and the other three had also been waiting for a long time.

Meng Chuncao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Meng Lan and the others coming. Just as he was about to ask Meng Lan why she came so late today and whether she had encountered any trouble, he saw He Erhua and her daughter following behind Meng Lan.

She hesitated for a moment and swallowed her words. There were too many people here, so she should wait until she got back to ask. It wouldn't waste a little time.

Meng Lan looked around behind her again and counted the number of people to make sure there were no more people missing.

After ordering, Meng Lan discovered that there was actually one more person...
