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

"You!" Zhen Yang looked at Zhen Yue and pointed at her nose. "Okay, okay, you've really grown wings! Don't go back to your parents' home if you're bullied in the future."

Zhen Yue glanced at her calmly and asked, "Do you think I will be bullied?" It was already good enough that he was not bullied by her.

Zhen Yang choked, as if... Zhen Yue was indeed someone who would not be bullied, but she couldn't lose face, "Next time I go back to my parents' home, I won't help you."

Zhen Yue thought to herself that she had never helped at all and let her sisters-in-law ridicule her, "Whatever." Zhen Yue looked outside, "Didn't you say that there is a lot of work at home? Go back and work. I don't need you here, so go back quickly."

Zhen Yang saw that she really couldn't borrow any food, so she had to go back empty-handed.

Not long after, Qian's mother, Qian Jiang, also came over. As soon as she arrived, she cried to Qiao Chen and Qiao Dashan, "My dear relatives, I really have no other choice. The harvest at home is not good this year. I really can't collect the tax. Can you lend me some money?"

"This...we don't have any extra food at home. If I lend it to you, my family may not have enough to eat." said Mrs. Qiao Chen.

Qian: "Just lend it to us and pay the tax first, and we will pay you back later."

Mrs. Qiao Chen looked at Qiao Dashan without any idea. Qiao Dashan also had no idea, mainly because what his in-laws said was indeed terrible.

"Wuuuu, my relatives, please lend me some money. It's not much, just one stone is enough. If I can't pay the tax, my son will be arrested and forced to do labor." Qian Jiang wiped her eyes.

Qiao Dashan also looked helpless, "This... I'll go ask the old lady. If she doesn't agree, it won't be easy for us to lend it to her."

Qian Jiangshi immediately felt bad when she heard this, "You are her parents, how can you let your daughter-in-law make the decision? If you agree to hang her out, she won't dare to disagree."

"Agree to what?" Zhen came over expressionlessly. Qiao Er had gone to find her because he was afraid that Qian and her parents would really agree to borrow the grain. Didn't Qiao Er know what Qian's family was like? Things never come back.

Qian Jiang knew something bad was going to happen as soon as she saw it. Now that Zhen had arrived, it would be difficult for her to borrow grain.

"This... Sister-in-law, our harvest is not good and we have to pay taxes. We haven't collected enough food yet, so I want to ask if you have any extra food to borrow. We will pay it back soon."

"Very soon?" Zhen Yue sneered, "A few days ago, Qian borrowed ten cents from you. Did you pay it back?"

"Also, I remember borrowing more than ten kilograms of grain last year, and I don't know how much money. Have you paid it back? The year before last, your family also came to borrow grain. Have you paid it back?" If you don't count, you don't know. Once you count, it turns out that the Qian family comes to borrow grain every year.

Every time the Qiao family was soft-hearted and Qian Jiang cried, the Qiao family had no choice but to lend the money. Zhen’s family was similar, but they borrowed less than the Qian family.

"If you want to borrow again, you can. Just return all the money you have before and we can lend it to you. It is not difficult to borrow again if you pay back the money you have borrowed. You didn't bring any food today, but you should have money. Please return the ten cents from Qian first."

Qian Jiang was stunned. "What? What money? That was my daughter's gift to me. How could it be borrowed?"

Qian on the side said: "Mom, you said it was a borrowed money." Qian Jiang immediately glared at her, you damn bastard, you are holding your mother back like this.

Zhen Yue: "Second brother's wife said it was a loan, you don't want to pay it back, do you?"

Qian Jiangshi: "How could that be? This...isn't this because the family is poor?"

Zhen Yue: "But where are the silver earrings you're wearing? How about leaving them to pay off the debt?"

Qian Jiang immediately covered her ears and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have something to do at home. I'll leave first. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you are really something. You actually let a woman be the head of the family." She said as she ran out.

Zhen Yue narrowed her eyes, "What's wrong with me being the head of the family? I'm much better than those people who don't pay back their debts." Zhen Yue chased after him, "Leave the earrings to me first, don't run away!"

Qian Jiang didn't even dare to look back and ran away quickly.

Zhen Yue returned to the house and said, "No one is allowed to borrow money or food. If they want to borrow, they must get my consent. Otherwise, I will not let them go!" Zhen Yue glanced at everyone.

Everyone immediately responded like quails, "I know, I know."

This daughter-in-law/sister-in-law is becoming more and more powerful.

Next, several more waves of people came from the Qiao family, all wanting to borrow grain, but Zhen Yue refused to lend them any. Some people cursed at them directly, while others, seeing that they refused to lend them, had no choice but to look for others.

This is because many people think that this is the situation after the Qiao family borrowed money at high interest rates. If they thought that the Qiao family did not owe any debts, more people might come.

When Qiao Dashan went out to cut grass and feed the donkey, he met several people who wanted to borrow grain. Some of them just casually asked Qiao Dashan if he had any, and when Qiao Dashan said no, they didn't say anything.

After mowing the grass and returning home, Qiao Dashan sighed, "When I went out today, I heard many people say that they didn't have enough food at home and might not be able to pay the tax, so everyone went out to borrow food."

Zhen Yue felt something was wrong, "Are many people short of food this year?"

Qiao Chao also felt that something was wrong. "It was clearly a good harvest just before. Maybe after paying the tax, there won't be enough to eat. But it's impossible that they can't pay the tax, right?"

Qiao Dashan: "The harvest is not good this year. It's a question whether we can survive the winter after paying the taxes. I heard that Mrs. Zhou's one acre of land only produced less than one stone of grain." Mrs. Zhou has been crying at home for two days.

Qiao Chao was puzzled, "Why is it so little?"

Qiao Dashan: "Some of it was destroyed by wild boars. The fields themselves were not good either. The rice was growing very sparsely."

Zhen Yue held little Achu in her arms. If she hadn't brought her special powers with her, the family's crops might not be good, and they would definitely starve.

It is cold and hungry in winter. If you get sick, the medical conditions here are so poor that you may die from a cold or fever.

It’s already good enough that she can protect her own family now. As for others, she is not a saint and she cannot help them if she can’t.

What was unexpected was that a thief came that night and wanted to steal food?

The food at home was kept in the kitchen, which was locked. In the middle of the night, Qiao Chao heard a little noise. At first he thought it was a mouse and didn't pay much attention to it, but gradually he felt something was wrong.

Qiao Chao stood up, and Zhen Yue also stood up. She also heard the sound. Qiao Chao didn't expect Zhen Yue to stand up as well. He covered her mouth for fear that she would scream, "Shh."

Zhen Yue nodded and patted his hand to signal him to let go.

After Qiao Chao let go, the two of them got up carefully and opened the door. Zhen Yue was holding a stool in her hand. Qiao Chao saw a figure at the kitchen door trying to pick the lock. He quickly ran over and kicked the figure into the yard.

With a "crash", it hit the bamboo clothesline pole, and the pole fell to the ground.
