Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog
Chapter 6 Demanding Debt
Soon, the young men in the village who heard the news came rushing over with sticks and hoes, followed by the village's eloquent aunts.
Grandpa Su looked at the large group of people gathered at the door, stood up, handed the pipe to Grandma Su, and said to everyone, "I guess everyone knows what happened. It's unfortunate that our family married such a daughter-in-law. This time, please come and support our family. I want to ask what the Lin family means. Did they marry a daughter to my family to steal money?"
The second aunt, who was the most eloquent in the crowd, spoke up, "That's right. When we get there, we're not only going to ask the Lin family, we're also going to ask the village chief of Linjia Village how the girls in their village were taught to be like this. If they don't give us an explanation, this day will never end."
The second aunt's son immediately agreed, "Yes, are you bullying us because we have no one in our clan? If everyone teaches their daughters like the way they do in their village, we won't dare to marry anyone from Linjia Village in the future."
"Yes, go ask."
"Who would dare to marry into their village?"
"Yeah, aren't you afraid of marrying a thief again? It's easy for anyone to save money these days? I guess half of your life will be gone in a flash."
"Yes."
"No one in our village bullies us. Let's go."
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Su Yan was watching at the side and was amazed. One must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancient people. Just a few words turned the matter of two families into the matter of two villages. If Linjia Village dared to cover up for the perpetrators, the reputation of the whole village would be ruined in the future.
In ancient times, the importance of reputation was self-evident. Without a good reputation, let alone getting married or having funerals, no one would want you even if you were asked to carry bags at the dock.
Su Yan watched as Uncle Su forced Aunt Su to follow Grandpa Su and Grandma Su away. She wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Mother Su. "Don't go, Uncle Yanyan. Just wait at home. The old lady is still here. She is of a higher generation. If we go over to ask for money, we will definitely quarrel."
"It's okay for you to go together to collect the debt. Everyone is angry now. Once everyone calms down and starts gossiping, they will definitely blame you youngsters. It's better not to go. We have enough people."
After that, he whispered to Su Yan: "You encountered something like this when you returned home. You should explain it to your uncle. Our family is not ignorant of etiquette. There is nothing we can do about it. Don't let your uncle have any estrangement with you."
Su Yan nodded to show that she understood.
After saying this, Su's mother turned around and ran a few steps to Grandma Su's side at the front of the crowd, then walked forward aggressively with the large group.
The remaining people looked at each other, and for a moment, they had no desire to speak.
Finally, it was Dalang who spoke up: "Go back and do what you need to do. Don't just wait here."
After saying that, he took his wife back to his room and didn't say anything when he passed by Su Yan.
Then Sanlang and Sanmei looked around and followed their eldest brother back.
For a while, only Su Erlang and his wife and Su Yan and his wife were left in the yard. The four of them looked at each other and had no mood to continue eating. Su Yan arranged to clear the table, put away the dishes on the table in the cupboard, and swept the floor again. Finally, seeing that there was really nothing to do, Su Yan asked Su Erlang and his wife to take care of Xiaosong. She was worried about him being alone in the house without anyone to look after him.
Chen Guihua looked at Su Erlang, turned around, said "Hey" and went back to her room.
Instead, Su Erlang moved three stools and sat in the yard with Su Yan and He An waiting.
It was two hours later when Grandpa Su and Grandma Su came back with their people. Su Yan saw from afar that although their faces were not very good, they were not particularly bad either, so he felt relieved.
After expressing her gratitude and sending away the tribesmen who came to help, Su's mother told Su Yan the truth.
The Lin family really played tricks and said they didn't borrow any money, and they refused to change their words no matter how Aunt Su knelt down and begged.
It was only when the Su family rushed forward and searched the Lin family and found the red cloth bag from Uncle Su's family that they were speechless.
However, the Lin family still refused to mention paying back the money, and kept saying that the money was given by Aunt Su to help her nephew get married.
Only Aunt Su and Uncle Lin know the true situation of this matter. Now he is acting like a rogue and refusing to admit that the money was borrowed, which makes everyone very angry.
In the end, it was the Su family who had more people and more power, and they invited the village chief of Linjia Village and the patriarch of the Lin family to force the Lin family to admit to paying back the money.
But today, the Su family only got back eight taels of silver from the Lin family, which was the most everyone could squeeze out.
When he asked the Lin family for it again, the old lady of the Lin family hit her head against a tree and a pool of blood came out.
The Su family didn't want anyone to die, and seeing that the Lin family really couldn't come up with the money, they found someone in the family who could read to write a promissory note, and asked the village chief of Linjia Village and the patriarch of the Lin family to be witnesses before returning.
But according to Su Yan's guess, the remaining money probably cannot be recovered.
The old lady of the Lin family has always been a stingy person, and it is difficult for even a poor man like Uncle Lin to get money from her.
She believed that under the circumstances at the time, no one would let the Lin family off easily, but even under such circumstances, the Su family still did not get all the money back.
It can be seen that Mrs. Lin really valued money more than her life at that time, and the collision with the tree must have been quite serious.
But for an old lady of such an old age, after this accident and because she is too stingy to spend money on medicine, it is possible that her health will deteriorate in the future.
Su Yan really didn't know whether to say that Old Lady Lin was smart or stupid.
"Your uncle left your aunt in the Lin family and said that if she doesn't change, he won't let her come back."
Mother Su said with a sigh, "Given the situation of her family, your aunt is going to suffer a lot this time."
Su's mother felt sorry for their misfortune and was angry at their lack of fighting spirit, then let Su Yan and He An go back.
Although this matter was caused by Aunt Su herself, it was eventually exposed by Su Yan. Now the money has not been fully recovered, and Aunt Su has been thrown into her parents' home. The whole family is in chaos today. If Su Yan continues to stay here, she will inevitably be the target of anger.
Su's mother would never let her daughter do such a thing. She wanted to see when her daughter could do it. Even if her daughter didn't come, she could go to the county and it would be the same. Why did she have to do it today?
So Su Yan said goodbye to her family and drove the ox cart back to the county with He An.
It was already dark when the two got home. They simply tidied up, ate something, and then rested.
The next day when Su Yan got up, the sun was already high in the sky. Today was the fourth day of her marriage. If she had lived with her in-laws, Su Yan would not have been able to sleep until now.
But the day before yesterday at the old house, He's parents had already told He An that there was nothing to do but not go to Brother He's house. The original words were, "You have already recognized him. You can come to visit during the holidays in the future, and just live your own life well at other times."
Su Yan also knew that He's father and mother didn't like her. Since they said so, she didn't want to go over to them.
Just let He Anduo go there from now on. Their parents are thinking about their son, not her unwelcome daughter-in-law, so she won’t go over and cause trouble!
