A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

"The things you took from my house today, and my mother, elder sister, and younger brother, they worked for a whole morning. Each of them has to pay 10 cents, a total of 30 cents. You said you wanted to search me, so let's take a tael of silver as a bet. If you really find a hidden weapon on me, the things you took away today will be paid to my mother and their wages, and I will compensate you with another tael of silver. On the contrary, if I have nothing on me, I will take the things, and you will pay me 30 cents for your labor, and you will compensate me with another tael of silver." Li Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. If the bet was too big, even if a written agreement was signed, with the temper of the Li family, they probably wouldn't get the money. It would be better to bet smaller, which would be safer.

Li Laosi was a little hesitant when he heard about signing a written agreement, but then he thought that it was indeed because of the hidden weapon on Li Xiaoxiao that he fell to the ground. If he asked for a written agreement, it must be to scare him.

After making up his mind, Li Laosi went to see Mrs. Li, muttered to herself for a while, and finally said, "I'll sign a contract with you. Prepare the money and wait to lose."

When the head of the village saw that the two had already discussed it, he said nothing more and sent Li Huawen to call Li Laoxiucai to come and write.

After a while, the two men arrived. On the way, Li Huawen told Li Laoxiucai what had happened. Li Laoxiucai looked at Li Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaoxiao nodded silently.

Mr. Li felt relieved and quickly wrote the document according to what the two of them said, and each of them pressed his fingerprints on it.

Su, Jiang and two other women from the village went to the main room to check if Li Xiaoxiao had any hidden weapons on her. After a while, they came out.

Jiang looked unhappy. Li Laosi saw them coming out and asked Jiang anxiously, "Where is the hidden weapon you found? Take it out and show me what it is."

Jiang lowered her head and said in a low voice, "She has nothing on her."

Li Laosi looked at Su and the other two women in disbelief. They also had nothing in their hands. It was impossible. He clearly felt something touching his arm, and his arm still ached slightly. How could there be nothing in his hands?

"Li Xiaoxiao, where did you hide that thing?" Li Laosi asked angrily.

Li Xiaoxiao ignored him, picked up the document on the table, and said in a clear voice, "Fourth Uncle, are you ready for the money?"

"I, I don't have any silver." Li Laosi was panicked. He had promised Old Lady Li that he would find the things. What went wrong? That was one or two taels of silver.

"Hey, this Li Laosi wants to default on his debt."

"That's not bad. Seeing that Xiaoxiao's family is honest, you can bully Xiaoxiao as much as you want."

"That's right. What kind of hidden weapon? Xiaoxiao has never even left our county. Where did he get that thing? I think Li Laosi is just pretending. He is just a kid. He said it was okay."

"He even searched the little girl's body and wanted to clear the bad guy's name. He's such a despicable thing. Bah." An old lady in the village despised Li Laosi's behavior. She was still not satisfied and spat again.

The villagers who were watching the fun started talking. None of them was on the side of the Li family. They would use any evil tricks to cheat the Xiao Xiao family out of money. When they returned, they must warn their family members to stay away from the Li family.

The head of the village waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Li Dahu, go and take out all the things you took from Xiao Xiao's house, as well as the thirty wen wages and one tael of silver."

The head of the village had just said that he wanted to divorce Old Lady Li. Now Old Lady Li didn't dare to jump around. She could only glare at Li Laosi, breathing heavily in anger and feeling extremely annoyed.

Things had come to this point, so even if Li Laosi didn't want to give it, he had to. He knew where those things were, so reluctantly he took another thirty cents from his room and put all on the table under the big tree.

"I don't have any money. I'll owe you one or two taels of silver first. I'll pay you back as soon as I have money." Li Laosi looked like a rogue.

"You have no money, and your Li family has no money either. Although there is only your fingerprint on this document, you represent your entire family." It's impossible to owe it. If I can't get the money back today, it will be even more impossible to get it back in the future.

"You little slut, how dare you ask me for money? If I had known you would disobey me like this, I should have drowned you in a piss pot when you were born." It would be better to ask for her life than to ask for her money.

"Fourth Aunt, you really don't have this tael of silver?" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Jiang, who had been silent.

Jiang was in a panic. Li Xiaoxiao knew that she had hidden the silver. If she revealed it, all the silver she had hidden with great effort would be taken back by Old Lady Li, and she might even lose her preference for the fourth wife.

"Fourth brother, they say a harmonious family brings prosperity. Just give her the money." Jiang's tone was anxious. She pulled his clothes hard, giving him a hint.

Li Laosi was a little puzzled, but he couldn't ask in detail in front of so many people, so he had to listen to his wife and said reluctantly, "Mom, how about we give her one or two taels of silver?"

"You heartless woman, give your money to her." Old Mrs. Li heard everything Jiang said, and seeing that her son was so obedient, she was so angry that she started scolding.

When Jiang heard that she was asked to take the silver, she was already feeling guilty, and now she was frightened to death.

The head of the village looked at the family, who were pushing each other, and was so angry that his beard stood up: "Li Chunsheng, you pay for the money."

All of a sudden, Old Man Li became the focus of the whole audience: "Village head, you know, my eldest son is studying in the county town, and he needs a lot of money every month. We really don't have much money at home. How about this? I will take the grain harvested from the fields to the county town to exchange for silver in a few days, and then give it to Xiao Xiao."

"Master, I must get this silver today. You know whether there is silver at home, and I know it too. This document was signed in front of the whole village. If it doesn't work, I will take it to the county government office and let the county magistrate make the decision for me." All the Li family members were of the same character. They wanted to refuse to give it. After a pause, they continued, "Also, if I really report it to the county government office, I don't know if it will affect my uncle's imperial examination."

After hearing this, both Old Man Li and Old Lady Li's faces turned black. Their eldest son's imperial examination was related to the fate of the whole family. They were going to be officials in the future, so how could they let her ruin their reputation?

Old man Li had a gloomy face. He thought for a moment before speaking, "Old woman, go get the silver."

Old Mrs. Li wished she could eat Li Xiaoxiao alive, but she dared not disobey Old Man Li's orders. She went back to the room reluctantly, and after a while, she took out an ounce of silver and threw it heavily on the table.

Li Xiaoxiao picked up the silver and weighed it to make sure it was real, then put it away. As if she didn't see the murderous look in Old Lady Li's eyes, she raised the silver in her hand and gave her a big smile: "Grandma, thank you."

Then, he tore the document to pieces in public.

"Thank you, grandpa Li Zheng. You've come all the way here in such a hot day to seek justice." Li Xiaoxiao thanked him sincerely. If there was no Li Zheng, it would have been much more difficult to get money from the Li family.

"It's not that hard. As the head of the village, this is what I should do. But you have to support a family at such a young age." The head of the village sighed.

Li Xiaoxiao and Li Ruolan each held a pottery jar, and Li Huawen carried a bag of grain with a big smile on his face.
