Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Yang Kaigui: "My family is not well off, how can I afford to pay back the money for Kaiyun?

You guys check the accounts and see how much the total is. Jin Lin works in the provincial capital and is an official, so he will definitely find a way to pay back the money. Just give him the IOU when the time comes."

It was obvious that Yang Kaigui didn't want to get involved in the Yang family's affairs.

Zhou's mother signaled Zhou's father to take out the accounts that had been compiled in advance and show them to everyone.

Seeing that they owed 217 dollars, 1100 kilograms of rice, and 138 kilograms of meat, Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang were dumbfounded.

Granny Fang stood up from the ground and said angrily, "This account is wrong! We can't possibly owe so much money? You must have falsified the accounts!

You keep saying you won't cheat us, but you turn around and falsify the numbers to cheat us out of our money. You are so shameless!"

Mother Zhou stepped forward and slapped Granny Fang in the face.

"I never hit anyone, but you really deserve it!

The IOUs are all there, each with your, Yang Kaiyun's or Yang Jinlin's signature and fingerprint. You can check the amounts yourself to see if we have inflated the numbers.

Whenever your family is short of money or the harvest is poor, you can come to my house to borrow money. I will give you a few dollars or dozens of kilograms of rice.

In recent years, my family has raised two pigs every year. Every time we slaughtered the pigs, you would buy the meat on credit, carrying home more than ten or twenty kilograms. You never paid back the money or the meat.

For the sake of the so-called in-law relationship, we tightened our belts to satisfy you, but in the end you just said something, okay?

Last year when we slaughtered the New Year pig, you went late and didn’t get the meat on credit, so you started talking bad about us everywhere, as if we owed you something!

We paid for all of your Yang Jinlin's tuition and miscellaneous fees. After he entered college, he started to compete with others. Every time he came back to ask for money, he would ask for twenty or thirty dollars, and even complained that we didn't give enough.

Poor me, I worked day and night to embroider and my eyes were almost blinded. The child's father risked his life to go hunting in the mountains, and gave all the money from slaughtering pigs and selling the pig meat to Yang Jinlin.

He is still not satisfied and tells others that we are stingy. If it weren't for the fact that he is engaged to Darong, we would have beaten him to death long ago!

I'm telling you, the numbers you see are not multiplied by ten. Darong is going to divorce Yang Jinlin, so we'll follow the previous contract. You can add zero to the numbers on the bill and compensate us."

Mrs. Fang's eyes widened as she angrily said, "No money! Beat me to death if you dare!"

"Pa!" Zhou's mother slapped her again.

"You don't have to pay me back if you don't have the money? If you're not in your right mind, I'll slap you a few more times!"

"you!"

Mrs. Fang was so angry that her teeth were itching, but the Zhou family was everywhere in and outside the room, so she didn't dare to talk back.

"Don't stare at me, or I'll have my boss dig it out with a butcher knife."

As soon as Zhou's mother finished speaking, Zhou's father drew out a butcher knife from his waist, strode over and asked, "Which eye do you want to dig out first?"

Mrs. Fang was so frightened that she trembled and quickly hid behind Yang Kaiyun with her head lowered.

Zhou's mother sneered and said, "You two old people are just like Yang Jinlin, telling lies all the time. You can't be trusted at all. I will take every brick from your house to see if you really have no money."

Granny Fang was startled and shouted, "How dare you!"

Mother Zhou: "Do you think I dare? Xiaomei, Third Aunt knows that you are the best at finding private money. Let us see your ability. Later, Third Aunt will treat you to a Mid-Autumn Festival cake."

Shen Xiaomei, Zhou Chuanguo's daughter-in-law, responded crisply: "Aunt San, just watch carefully, I guarantee that I can find the money in the rat hole for you!"

It would take too much time to search alone, so Shen Xiaomei took several of her sisters-in-law to go to Mrs. Fang's bedroom and shared her experience with them while searching.

"I'm telling you, you can hide money anywhere there's a crack, so you have to look carefully, wall cracks, corners, bed boards, floor boards, the backs of tables, chairs, benches, pillows, quilts, etc. Don't miss any of them.

The rice jar also had to be checked. Jiashun once hid money at the very bottom of the jar. He was very diligent during that period and took the initiative to scoop rice every day to cook, for fear that everyone would find the money he hid under the rice.

Fortunately, I had sharp eyes and noticed his abnormality, and found the money before he moved it."

Zhou Chuantai's eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Hong, joked: "With your investigative skills, you can help the police solve cases."

"I'm just getting started. It works when I deal with my own man, but it doesn't work at all when I'm out there. The police are much better than me. They can catch the bad guys as soon as they go out."

Shen Xiaomei said as she fished out a few coins from under the bed: "Look, we found it, let's continue!"

Zhou's mother wanted to help Zhou Rong pack her luggage, but she found that there was nothing valuable in her bedroom. Except for a few pieces of furniture, all her dowry was gone.

"Where are your dowry? I gave you eight quilts, matching quilt covers, bed sheets, pillowcases, and enamel basins, clothes, and fabrics. Have you used them all?"

Zhou Rong: "Erniu's grandmother said that the quilt she was covering herself with was not warm enough, and also said that if a daughter-in-law does not respect her parents-in-law, she has no manners. Since I am married into the Yang family, all the dowry must belong to the family.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family also showed off her sisterly love in front of me every day. I was ignorant at that time and thought that I could use these things to maintain family harmony, so I let them do what they wanted.

Slowly, the dowry was all gone."

Mother Zhou was so angry that her face turned blue. She walked to the lobby and said, "Village head, clan leader, please move outside the room and sit down.

The Yang family is so wicked. All of my son Darong’s dowry was cheated away by them. They simply don’t treat our Zhou family’s daughter as a human being!

Darong’s bedroom was built by my head of the family and his men. Now that we are getting a divorce, we can’t let them get the house cheaply. With their character, they will definitely not pay for it.

I'll go out and ask the folks in Yanglinpo if anyone wants to buy this house. If no one wants to buy it, I'll ask the child's father to take away the bricks and tiles. I'd rather take them back and throw them away than let them live there for free!"

Zhou Chuanjing nodded and agreed: "That's the way it should be. We can't let them think that we in Zhoujiawan are easy to bully."

Everyone in Yanglinpo knows how rogue Yang Kaiyun's family is. Not only do they all have houses to live in, even if they don't have one, they wouldn't buy one.

If I buy this, won’t I have to quarrel with them every day?

By then, the couple will just pretend to be sick and lie down at home. Will they still be able to live their lives?

Zhou's mother took Xie Cuilian out to ask around, but no one was willing to buy Zhou Rong's bedroom.

After Zhou Chuanjing learned about it, he said, "In that case, there is no need to waste time talking. Let's get started together and work quickly to finish the work as soon as possible so that we can go home and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhou Chuanyi shouted at the door, and all the men in Zhoujiawan rushed into the battle. Some entered the house to move furniture, some went up to the roof, some installed tiles, and some dismantled the doors and windows.

There is strength in numbers, and soon only four walls were left in Zhou Rong's bedroom...
