I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

The crowd automatically made way for them, and Ye Changzhu supported the skinny grandma and walked in front of Ye Ze and the others.

This time, the skinny grandma really cried, "Xiaoshuan, your brother is about to be beaten to death, you must save him!"

The skinny monkey looked nonchalant and said with a smile: "Didn't my mother die when she gave birth to me? Where can she give me another brother?"

"So, a half brother is not a real brother? You are all your father's sons!" The skinny grandma wiped her tears and said, "Grandma knows you are still angry, but no matter how angry you are, you can't ignore your brother's life and death!"

The skinny monkey said impatiently: "No, what does it have to do with me whether he lives or dies? It's not like I want to kill him!"

Village Chief Ye frowned, "Alright, Auntie, you are already an adult, can you please explain the cause and effect clearly before you speak? What happened to your Xiaobao? Why do you need Xiaoshuan to save him?"

The skinny grandma then noticed that the village chief was also there, and said, "Changgen? It happens that you are here too, you have to help your aunt persuade Xiaoshuan. My Xiaobao was deceived into a place like a gambling house two days ago, and he lost twenty taels of silver in just half a day. You know that my Xiaobao is a filial child, he didn't want me and his father to worry, so he wanted to make up for it the next day, but who knew... who knew that he lost another fifty taels..."

As soon as the skinny monkey grandma said this, the people watching the excitement around her gasped:

"Oh my god, did I calculate correctly? I lost seventy taels of silver in just two days? Is this just too much to live on? You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household!"

"The grandson lost money because he was filial, so let's not talk nonsense, haha..."

"Xiaobao lost money, why did you come to Xiaoshuan? You don't want Xiaoshuan to help him pay off his debts, do you? Tsk tsk..."

"What?" Village Chief Ye was also shocked: "Why do you still keep a child like this? Just let the people in the gambling house beat him to death!" Seventy taels of silver, that is a number that an ordinary person cannot save even if they live frugally for a lifetime!

The old lady paused in her crying and blurted out the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "Chang Gen, that's my grandson, a descendant of our Ye family. How can you say such a thing?"

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't say anything. Why don't you go and find a way to save that person? Why are you crying here?" Village Chief Ye was so angry that his beard stood up.

The old lady's eyes fell back on the thin monkey, and tears began to fall: "Xiaoshuan, please help your brother. I beg you to help him pay off his gambling debt of seventy taels of silver. It shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?"

This kind of thing shouldn't be said in front of so many people, but the old lady had no choice. The skinny monkey refused to listen to them and went home to sit down and talk it out.

Besides, their main target is not Shouhou. No matter how much he earns, it is impossible for him to take out so much money at once. But aren't he and Ye Ze good brothers? Ye Ze has built such a big house, it's impossible that he can't even take out 70 taels of silver...

Ye Changzhu just hid behind the old lady like a quail. Every time he came to find Shouhou to make up his debt in the past few days, Shouhou never had a good face towards him, which made Ye Changzhu instinctively feel a little scared when he saw Shouhou.

Anyway, his mother has stepped forward, and in front of so many people, Ye Xiaoshuan has to give the old lady some face. If for no other reason, just because the skinny monkey was raised by the old lady when he was a child, he must respect the old lady!

"Old woman, do you have any misunderstanding about me? I'm just a scoundrel who doesn't even have a home. How do you think I can come up with seventy taels of silver?" The skinny monkey asked in disbelief.

After the Ye Changzhu family came to his house every day to show their concern for him over the past few days, Shouhou was able to remain calm in the face of them. As long as he refused decisively enough, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him!

"This, this..." Of course there was no misunderstanding, and it was not directed at you, but she just couldn't say such words directly.

Because she felt guilty, the old lady didn't even care about the way the skinny monkey addressed her, and asked back, "Aren't you the chief steward here? How come you don't have any money?"

"Yes, I am the chief steward. The stewards of the landlords in the town only get two taels of silver a month. I am worth at most two hundred coins. Besides, I have only worked with the boss for a few days. How can I earn seventy taels of silver?" Even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you for free! You are dreaming! The skinny monkey said calmly, standing on tiptoe.

The people around agreed: "Yes, making money is not that easy. This old lady is really bold!"

"Even if there really is seventy taels, who would be willing to give it to outsiders?"

"yes......"

Listening to the discussions of the people around her, the old lady was so angry that she retorted loudly: "I am Xiaoshuan's biological grandmother. I raised him by myself. How can I give him to an outsider?"

Everyone: “…” He is really a nanny, his heart is simply too biased!

"So what if you are my grandmother? I have no money. If not, just sell me and see if I can get seventy taels of silver in return!" The skinny monkey laughed disdainfully.

The old lady turned her gaze to Ye Ze and asked, "Can't you get an advance on your wages?" She finally got to the point!

The old lady thought: Ye Ze and Xiaoshuan have such a good relationship, as long as Xiaoshuan still considers them as a family, Ye Ze will definitely find a way to help them!

Ye Ze thought for a moment and said, "It is possible to advance the money, but seventy taels of silver is not a small amount for me..."

Hearing Ye Ze's words, a smile appeared on the old lady's face. See, she knew that Ye Ze could definitely come up with the money!

The skinny monkey was about to speak anxiously but was stopped by Ye Ze.

Then Ye Ze continued: "However, this account must be settled in advance. When Xiaoshuan became my manager, I was told that he would only provide me with three meals a day, but I didn't say anything about wages..." There is no wages at all, what are you asking for an advance?

"You, how can you let people work for free? Aren't you bullying honest people?" The old lady shouted with her cloudy eyes wide open.

"Don't worry, old man," Ye Ze said, "Even if I pay him wages, I can only give him one tael of silver a month. It will take nearly six years to pay back the seventy taels in advance, and there is also interest... No one can predict what will happen in the meantime. It is not cost-effective for me to advance wages. Besides, who would advance so much wages at once? Even if I spend money to hire someone, it won't cost seventy taels of silver, right?"

"Ah? This..." The old lady was a little flustered. Did Ye Ze not want to lend her money?

"Aren't you and Xiaoshuan brothers? Besides, you can't write two characters "Ye" with one stroke. Why do you care so much?" The old lady hung her face in displeasure. It was not like she borrowed Ye Ze's money for nothing.
