After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Qian Jiangshi, Qian's mother, came over soon after she learned that the Qiao family had bought a donkey. She did not directly tell the Qiao family that she was here to borrow money. "Mother-in-law, come here. I have some wild vegetables. I heard that your family bought a donkey. Congratulations. I have something to talk to my daughter about."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qiao Chen treated her like a guest. "So you are my in-laws. I will go call Mrs. Qian over."

"Hey, no need. I'll just go find her. She should be in the room."

"Yes."

Qian was folding clothes in her room. Suddenly the door opened and she looked up. "Mom? Why are you here?"

Qian Jiang closed the door and walked over to pinch Qian. Qian screamed in pain, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Qian Jiangshi: "What? Why didn't you tell me that your family had money to buy a donkey? Your nephew can't even eat something delicious recently. Since your family has money to buy a donkey, you must have money to lend to me. Lend me some money."

Zhen Yue had said before that borrowing money must be approved by her, so Qian immediately told her what Zhen Yue said.

When Qian Jiang heard this, she cursed her daughter for not living up to her expectations and giving birth to a money-loser who had no say in the Qiao family. Thinking of Zhen's fighting power, she finally gave up, "What about you? Don't you have any money?"

Qian was suddenly panicked, "Mom, I only have a little money, and that's going to buy some cloth for Xiaonian to make clothes." Her Xiaonian has grown taller recently, probably because she has been eating better these days, so the three little girls in the family have all grown taller.

Xiaohua and Xiaocao's clothes were too short, but that was not something she should worry about. However, she still had to cut suitable clothes for them in the new year.

When Qian heard this, she immediately frowned, "Why would a little girl wear new clothes? Why don't you just give her your old clothes to cut? Where's your money? Give it to me."

On the other side, Zhen Yue was playing with little Ah Chu in the room with a rattle. Suddenly, Mrs. Qiao Chen came in, looked outside, and whispered, "Old family, Qian's mother is here."

Zhen Yue raised her head, "What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "I don't know. She sent a bunch of wild vegetables and said she had something to ask Qian. I'm afraid she wants to ask Qian for money."

Zhen Yue put down the rattle in her hand, "If Qian was smart, she wouldn't have lent it or come to tell me, but if it's her own money, then I can't do anything about it."

However, Zhen Yue still showed the child to Qiao Chenshi. She walked out of the room and then shouted, "Second brother's wife!"

Qian was about to hand the money to her mother, but when she heard Zhen Yue shouting, she immediately took her hand back, "Hey! Sister-in-law! My sister-in-law is looking for me, I need to go out and take a look."

Qian Jiangshi: "Hey, give me the money first."

Qian hesitated for a moment and gave ten coins, "Mother, this is all I have. I'm going out, lest my sister-in-law scolds me." After saying that, she ran out quickly, and when she opened the door, she saw Zhen Yue standing at the door of her room, "Sister-in-law."

Qian Jiang inside was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. What's wrong with Zhen? Why did she come to call people at this time instead of other times?

Zhen Yue glanced at Qian Jiangshi from outside the door and of course saw the copper coin in her hand. She looked at Qianshi again, "Second sister-in-law, didn't I ask you to cut some mustard greens and dry them to make sauerkraut? What are you doing hiding in the room?"

Qian: "Ah? Oh, I'll go over now." She turned around and said to Qian Jiang, "Mom, I have something to do here. If you have nothing else, please go back first."

Zhen Yue: "What are you talking about? My family is also preparing to pick radishes. Can you help me? If we help, we need to feed the pigs and chickens, wash the clothes, and water the fields. We don't have that many people at home. Can you stay and help me?"

Qian Jiang smiled dryly, "Haha, sorry, I have something else to do at home, so I have to come back first. Haha, no need to see me off."

Qian Jiang ran out of the Qiao family's gate in two or three steps. When she walked out and came under the banyan tree, Mrs. Zhang recognized her and said, "Qian Jiang, why are you here? Are you here to borrow money?"

Qian Jiangshi had already put away the money she got from Qianshi. "Go away, what do you mean by borrowing money? I'm just going to see my daughter."

Mrs. Zhang: "I advise you not to come here too often in the future, otherwise...tsk tsk tsk tsk." Mrs. Zhang suddenly shook her head.

Qian Jiangshi immediately felt something was wrong, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mrs. Zhou on the side said loudly: "Don't you know? The Qiao family borrowed money from the usury to buy the donkey. When the time comes to repay the debt, you must lend them money to repay the debt."

Qian Jiangshi couldn't believe it, "Really? Why didn't my daughter say anything when I went to Qiao's house just now?"

Mrs. Zhou: "What are you talking about? Do you still dare to come here after what I said? The next time you come, be careful that they will ask you to borrow money."

Mrs. Zhang: "Last time, Zhen asked me to borrow money. Fortunately, I didn't. How can I pay back the loan? It's a bottomless pit."

Qian Jiang touched the money in her arms. Oh no, her daughter had lent her ten coins, so she didn't want her to borrow a hundred coins. That wouldn't work. She was afraid that Qian would run away from the Qiao family and borrow money from her.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Qian Jiang ran very fast.

The village chief Qiao Feng also heard the news that the Qiao family was borrowing money at high interest. He didn't quite believe it. After all, the last time when Zhen's child had a full-month meal, the Qiao family's dishes were delicious. He thought that the Qiao family must have made money, so borrowing money was impossible.

But as the village chief, he still went to the Qiao family. When he arrived, Qiao Dashan and others happened to be pulling the radishes back from the fields and washing them.

Everyone was confused when they heard the village chief Qiao Feng say that everyone said their family had borrowed money at high interest. "What high interest?" Qiao Dashan was very confused. "Someone borrowed money at high interest?" Qiao Dashan looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads.

Qiao Feng: "Everyone said your family borrowed money from a high-interest loan to buy a donkey."

Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately waved her hands, "No, no, absolutely not. How could we borrow money at usury? Before, when the third brother didn't have money to pay his tuition, we didn't borrow money." Fortunately, Qiao San's teacher was able to give him some time, so he could pay it back later.

Qiao Feng: "Then your donkey..."

Just as Qiao Dashan was about to say something, Zhen Yue interrupted him and said, "We did borrow money, but not at interest." Zhen Yue pointed at the radishes on the ground and said, "We sold some radishes and leeks to a big customer. The customer asked us to deliver vegetables to them regularly in the future, but we didn't have a donkey cart, so we borrowed the customer's money to buy a donkey cart. We also need to pay interest, but not that much."

Qiao Feng then realized that the radishes on the ground at Qiao Dashan's house were so big. He squatted down and picked up a big one. "Why are they so big? How did you grow them?"

Everyone looked at Zhen Yue. Zhen Yue said, "We use leaf mold to fatten the plants, and we also use pig manure. We just water and weed regularly, but it's probably just luck."

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "It must be the luck brought by my eldest grandson. Since he was born, our family has been living better and better every day."
