Knowing that their family only received half a tael of silver, the Qiao family was dissatisfied, but they did not say anything to others.

Qian was just complaining in the house, "Who are we going to send Ban Liang to? Two people from our family have been sent out, and my eldest brother is injured. If it weren't for my eldest brother, would they have been able to kill the tiger? Qiao Er, don't you think so? You also contributed."

Qiao Er: "That's right. If it weren't for my eldest brother, I don't know how many people would have been eaten. The Wang family was almost eaten. Fortunately, my eldest brother rushed over and rode on the big insect."

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go out and talk to us? Why can our family only get half a tael? How about Chen Erzhu's family getting two taels of silver?"

Zhen Yue shook her head, "Forget it. The government only gave us five taels. Chen Erzhu was seriously injured, so it's only natural for the village chief to take care of his family. Besides, there are other people helping us. I'm afraid the remaining silver won't be enough to share. If we give more, everyone might have a lot of complaints about us."

She was not satisfied, but she knew that the village chief had no other choice. The tiger should have been kept in their village and sold to everyone, and the money would have been more than five taels of silver, but she didn't expect that the official would actually take it away.

Qiao Chao actually felt that the village chief was wrong to do so. On the battlefield, the dead and wounded soldiers needed comfort, but the general was the one who received the biggest reward.

But the village chief was only a small position, and Qiao Chao understood that he didn't understand, and the most unfair thing was that adult, who only gave five taels? And dragged the big insect away.

Zhen Yue glanced at Qiao Chao and said, "Don't be so reckless next time." After putting in a lot of effort, he only got a little bit in the end.

Qiao Chao: "This is a big insect that has come into our home. If we don't kill it, there will be endless troubles."

Zhen Yue thought about it and said, "That's right."

Because Qiao Chao was injured, he lay on the bed to rest. Xiao Achu also lay beside him to watch over him, while the others cleaned the house.

Qiao Dashan and Qiao Er repaired the door, as well as the walls and the roof. Qian took Xiaohua and the other two to cut grass to feed the donkey. The chicken coop also had to be fixed. There was only one chicken left, and they were going to have two chickens for New Year's.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "I have to buy a chicken. I'll go to the market again in a few days."

Zhen Yue is cooking vegetables at the back of the house so that she can sell some more vegetables before the New Year.

The Qiao family was working. Qiao Dashan and Qiao Er were working on the gate of the yard. Then they saw a woman carrying a basket walking towards their house.

Qiao Dashan recognized that this was Wang's daughter-in-law, Wu, "Wu, what's the matter?"

Wu came over and said, "Uncle Dashan, Second Brother Qiao, I'm looking for Sister Zhen, is she here?"

He actually came to see Zhen's sister-in-law? And he even called her Sister Zhen?

Qiao Er nodded blankly, "Yes. I'll call you. Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you."

Zhen Yue heard the sound behind the house and stood up in confusion. She went to the front yard to wash her hands and then went out. She saw a strange woman with her hair tied up, and it was obvious that she was married.

"You are..." Zhen Yue didn't know if the original god had any little sisters.

Qiao Er said on the side: "Sister-in-law, she is the daughter-in-law of Wang Chong from Wang Pozi's family."

Zhen Yue didn't have any idea who it was. She only knew about those top-notch maids like Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou, and it seemed that Mrs. Wang had never encountered her yet.

Mrs. Wu: "My name is Wu Lin, and I'm from Wujia Village. I came here to thank Brother Qiao. If it weren't for him, I would..." Mrs. Wu's eyes reddened and she quickly wiped her eyes. "Excuse me, this is a thank-you gift." Mrs. Wu handed the basket to Zhen Yue.

Zhen Yue thought it sounded so strange, "What did he do?"

Mrs. Wu: "Last night a big bug came to my house, and my mother-in-law wanted to push me out. If it weren't for Brother Qiao who got rid of the big bug, I might have fallen into the tiger's mouth."

Zhen Yue finally understood what was going on, but...

"Your mother-in-law wants to push you out?"

Wu nodded, "She said that if the big insect eats me, maybe it won't eat them."

Zhen Yue's mouth twitched, she felt that Wu was indeed a bit pitiful, but she didn't say anything. Whether a woman wants to resist or not is up to her. However, Wu was grateful to Qiao Da for finding her and knowing how to avoid suspicion, unlike Lin last time, and she actually gave her something, so Zhen Yue felt that Wu was okay.

"I accept the gift. You were also frightened yesterday. Go back and have a good rest. As for your mother-in-law, if there is danger again next time, you should push her out first. She is old and useless, so just eat her first." Zhen Yue took the basket.

At first, Mrs. Wu was a little worried that Zhen Yue would ask for an exorbitant amount of money. She came here really wanting to thank her, but she was also a little afraid of Zhen Yue, mainly because Zhen Yue's reputation in the village was not very good.

But now she didn't expect her to say that, and what she said did make sense. Wu felt that she seemed to be a good person, so she didn't immediately open the basket to see what she gave, and she didn't ask for too much.

"Thank you." Mrs. Wu nodded and left.

Her mother-in-law often told her that Zhen was a shrew, and if they had such a daughter-in-law, they would have divorced her long ago. Now she thinks that being a shrew is a good thing, and she can divorce her if she wants!

After Wu left, Zhen Yue opened the basket and found a small piece of meat, some wild vegetables and a few eggs inside.

This Wu family is pretty good. Zhen Yue put her things away and walked into the room to tell Qiao Chao. Qiao Chao didn't know any Wu family. "That big beast was indeed knocking on the door at that time, but I didn't know it was from the Wang family."

At that time, I was so focused on beating the big tiger that I had no time to pay attention to anything else. But I didn't expect that someone actually wanted to push his wife out.

Qiao Chao thought Zhen Yue was hinting at something when she said that Wang Po wanted to push her daughter-in-law out, so he immediately said, "This kind of thing will never happen in our family. We will never push you and Qian out."

Zhen Yue looked at him strangely, not understanding why he said this. "If you want to push me out, I will push you out to be eaten by the big insects first. You take a rest."

Zhen Yue stood up and went out.

Qiao Chao: “…” He misunderstood.

After a day of hard work, the door and roof of the house were repaired, but the walls were not yet finished.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Let's wait until tomorrow, there's no rush. It's really unlucky that something like this happened when the New Year is almost here. We must pray properly during the New Year."

Everyone nodded.

In the days leading up to the New Year, there was a lot more gossip in the village.

"Po Wang was beaten by her daughter-in-law. Before, Po Wang was still saying how great her daughter-in-law was. But now, hahahaha!"

"I thought Wu was a good person before, why did she become like this now?"

"Hey? I heard from Ma that Wu seemed to have gone to find Zhen before. Could it be that Zhen taught her?"

"It's really possible, otherwise how could Mrs. Wu become so aggressive? Tsk tsk tsk, a aggressive daughter-in-law is not worth having." This is Mrs. Zhang. "If it were my family, I would have divorced her long ago." As she said this, Mrs. Zhang glanced at her own daughter-in-law. Lin Zhenniang was so scared that she trembled.
