"Uncle Manfu, we have to go. We can't sleep on the street without a house. No matter how bad the place is, we can always make it habitable if we clean it up. Otherwise, if it rains, what will happen to us kids?" Wang Ronghua started to cry as she spoke.

"Oh, it's difficult! Let's go, the key is with me, you just go and clean up today." Village Chief Zhao was also helpless.

Brother Da Gen's behavior has really disappointed the second brother's family.

Zhao Guocheng borrowed a hoe, sickle, etc. from the old house and took his three children to the village chief's house to get the keys. After getting the keys, he went to the end of the village to clean up.

Wang Ronghua also wanted to go, but she couldn't. She was worried about leaving the child in the old house, and taking him to the end of the village was even worse. She would only feel at ease if the child stayed by her side.

Wang Ronghua put the child on the kang and started to pack up.

Zhao Guocheng took his three children to the end of the village to clean up. They were busy until the evening when they finished everything. They cleaned out two rooms first.

The end of the village.

"Shimin, you stay here with your sister. Your father and I will go back to move the things here. Remember to take good care of your sister." After Wang Ronghua gave Wang Shimin instructions, she went back to the old house with Zhao Guocheng, Zhao Shihui, and Zhao Shisheng to move things.

Four people can take it all in one trip, so if the children are young, they can take less.

At night they just made do with what they had, with the family of six lying on a warm kang. Although the conditions were limited, they felt that the future was promising.

The next morning.

After a quick breakfast, Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng started cleaning up again. They cleaned up the other three rooms in the morning.

"Mom, my sister is hungry." Zhao Shimin came out holding Zhao Shiying.

Zhao Shiying didn't cry, but just kept swishing her fingers in her mouth.

That finger tasted as delicious as a piece of meat on a bone.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Wang Ronghua quickly washed her hands, cleaned herself up, and went to feed the baby.

But Zhao Shiying didn't want to eat.

She seemed to be very averse to eating like this.

[Mom, I don’t want to eat this. I want goat’s milk or cow’s milk, but not human milk.] Zhao Shiying was in a stubborn mood at the moment. She refused to eat even when Wang Ronghua pressed her head. She only ate some corn paste last night.

Wang Ronghua: “…” It turns out that this child dislikes human milk.

"My dear girl, eat first. We can't find any ewes these days. When we have more money at home in a few days, mother will bring you some goat milk. Be good~" Wang Ronghua said gently.

What could Zhao Shiying do? She was really hungry, so she could only eat with disgust.

It’s just that the rebellious attitude at the beginning and the voracious eating now form a sharp contrast.

After Zhao Shiying had eaten and drunk her fill and burped, Wang Ronghua put the child on the kang and asked the youngest Zhao Shihui to look after him.

When they returned to the end of the village last night, the family stared at Zhao Shiying and asked her to explain why they could hear her thoughts but couldn't hear them before. Zhao Shiying could only blink innocently at everyone and replied with an expression: "I don't know either!"

This matter can only be left unresolved.

It's two o'clock in the morning.

"Oh no, oh no, Mr. Qian has come to the Zhao family's old house to collect debts." Suddenly a child ran and shouted.

Wang Ronghua happened to hear it.

"Mother, why don't I go to the old house and take a look?" Zhao Guocheng was also very worried when he heard it.

孽 孽!

[Mom, let’s go to the old house. ] Zhao Shiying said a little excitedly.

After having enough food and drink, she has nothing to do, so she likes to join in the fun. It's a pity that her small body can't even walk.

I can only seduce my mother.

Seeing that Wang Ronghua was just staring at her without saying anything, Zhao Shiying said, "We can't stay out of this if we don't go. The people in the old house will definitely put the blame on us."

Wang Ronghua: “…” My daughter is right, it would be better to go and take a look.

So Wang Ronghua, who originally didn't want to go, immediately took the lead and left first, followed by a group of people.

Zhao Shimin quickly closed the gate and went out.

The Zhao family's old residence.

At this time, the Zhao family's old house was filled with wailing and sobbing.

Just because Mr. Qian’s housekeeper brought more than a dozen servants to Lao Zhao’s house to get money.

"You bastards, we really have no money. For the hundred taels, you are willing to kill people. You only gave us fifteen taels at the beginning, so we will return the fifteen taels." Zhao Baishi now realized how powerful these people were. These people really wanted to kill people.

Zhao Guoguang's wounds had not healed yet, and now he was beaten even harder.

"Zhao Guoguang, I told you before that you should quickly raise 100 taels of silver. I sent it to you yesterday, but you didn't appreciate it. So we can only come to your house to collect it today. What? Do you want to default on your debt? Then you should decide whether your life or money is more important?"

Butler Zhang glanced at Zhao Guoguang, which made the Zhao family tremble with fear. The child was taken away by Zhao Chenshi to hide in the house.

"Butler Zhang, I really don't have that much money and I can't borrow it. I hope Butler Zhang can be kind enough to talk to the master and let us pay less." After Zhao Guoguang finished speaking, he kowtowed so hard that his forehead was bleeding.

The villagers were talking about it and felt that Mr. Qian's family was being too aggressive.

"The village chief is here."

"You're here just in time, village chief. What do you think we should do? It's only natural to pay back debts. If you want to default on your debts, don't blame us for being cruel." Butler Zhang didn't want to be criticized, so he spent so much time here.

If he had been in the same bad temper as before, he would have beaten Zhao Guoguang to a pulp or dragged him away.

But today he wants to get the money legitimately. If he doesn't want the money, then he can use people to pay off the debt. This is what the master said himself.

"I know a little about your grudges. It is only natural to repay debts." Village Chief Zhao nodded and said calmly.

"Hahaha, Village Chief Zhao is still the most righteous one." Before Manager Zhang finished speaking, the village chief waved his hand.

"Please let me finish." Although Village Chief Zhao was a little scared of Butler Zhang in front of him.

But if he doesn't show some authority as the head of the village, who in the village will listen to him in the future?

"But Zhao Guoguang owes fifteen taels of silver. As for where the one hundred taels of silver came from?" Village Chief Zhao asked seriously.

"Hmph~ Village Chief Zhao, fellow citizens, you may not know that the little girl was sold for fifteen taels of silver, but Zhao Guoguang used her horoscope of being unlucky to deceive us into saying that she was very rich and powerful, causing our master to be struck by lightning while performing a ritual. Not only was our master seriously injured by the lightning, but the Taoist priest who performed the ritual and all the people watching the ritual also suffered. Doesn't it cost money to hire a doctor and take medicine? The money spent should naturally be counted on Zhao Guoguang. If Zhao Guoguang hadn't been so greedy and deceived us, our master wouldn't have to suffer this great sin, and now he's still lying in bed unable to get up. It's a good thing they didn't kill him." Butler Zhang said loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers began to talk about it, and Village Chief Zhao also frowned.

"The matter of the horoscope is none of my business. The horoscope is real. It was my second brother's wife. Yes, it was my second brother's wife who told my second brother about this horoscope. You should go find him." Zhao Guoguang hurriedly made amends, hoping that Butler Zhang could forgive him this time.

"The horoscope is actually true. I can testify to that, and so can the midwife who delivered me." Mrs. Zhao Bai is indeed an experienced person.

Wang Ronghua almost wanted to cover her mother-in-law's stinky mouth.

"Bullshit, I know when my child was born. Don't slander me. I remember it clearly." Wang Ronghua insisted.

"Yes, I remember it too, mother, you got the time wrong." Zhao Guocheng glared at Zhao Guoguang and then looked at Manager Zhang.

Just as my daughter said, the old house would definitely throw dirty water on them and shirk responsibility. Fortunately, they came.
