Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi
Chapter 5 Blackmailing Money
If it were the original owner, she might really fall into his trap and blame all the mistakes on the Xu family and Old Lady Wang, and get angry and start a fight with her own family.
But Xu Siyu is not so stupid now.
Xu Siyu lowered her head and said nothing. This was the time for the old lady to take charge.
The old lady sighed, thinking that Xu Siyu was reluctant to let go, but after soaking in the water, she became sensible and knew that she was doing it for her own good.
Zhang Yue is such a rich-snobbish person, it would be a real misfortune for my daughter to marry him. It would be great if she could cancel the engagement now.
"That's it?" The old lady glanced at Zhang Dahe, who had a slap mark on his face, and didn't even glance at Zhang Yue, who was too tired to try to stop the fight.
Zhang Dahe sneered in his heart. He really had to lose some weight, otherwise the old lady would not let him go out safely.
"Sister-in-law, I still have something to say." As the village chief, Zhang Dahe was used to giving favors to people little by little, so he handed over the gift he brought with him when he entered the door.
……
When they went out, Zhang's father and son were hunched over.
He left the bacon and yellow paper bag he brought in, and also promised to compensate Xu Siyu with six taels of "youth loss compensation", which would be delivered the next day at dawn.
"Bah, you spineless thing." Xu Wangshi gave the final summary of the battle.
The three Xu brothers, who had always been in the background, felt fortunate that they were a family after seeing the fighting power of their mother and youngest sister.
"Little sister, you..."
"You, you, you..., your sister and I were arguing and fighting, and the three of you were like pillars, not even threatening her, well, not even opening your mouth?" After scolding her eldest son, Xu Wang turned around, took a breath, and looked at her daughter who had just argued. "My dear daughter, where do you get the courage to blackmail the village chief for six taels of silver?"
Six taels! Mrs. Xu Wang’s expectation was two chickens, five catties of fat meat, etc. Why did it have to be six taels?
Six taels, the Xu family will have enough to eat and drink for three years without worries.
"Mother, I'm a girl, and my reputation is at stake, so you asked the Zhang family to come to discuss things at night. But the more you think so, the more you're pleasing the Zhang family. Look at the bacon they brought, it's moldy. And if you asked me to open that newspaper, there's half a pound of candy. I think they're very generous!"
Xu Laoer was holding the paper bag and wanted to steal some before his mother put it in the cabinet, but after hearing what Xu Siyu said, he hurried to open it.
Wow, there were two layers of dry leaves in the paper bag. When I opened it, there was a brown sugar block half the size of my palm.
"The village chief's family can't afford to eat, so this little bit of food is worth giving away!"
"Give it to me!" Mrs. Xu Wang knew what her second son was thinking, so she reached out and grabbed the paper bag into her arms.
"Mom, don't worry. I won't take it. I'm just seeing what my youngest sister said, right?" Xu Laoer was a scoundrel, but he still valued filial piety and didn't dare to confront Xu Wangshi.
"My daughter, I'll boil some candy for you to drink. Tell me how you got the Zhang family under control?" Mrs. Xu Wang looked at Xu Siyu with a curious look.
"Strike the snake at its most vulnerable part."
"What?" Boss Xu didn't understand.
"Your sister wants to eat snakes. Go look for her behind the mountain tomorrow." This is how Xu Wangshi understood.
Oh no, Xu Siyu had forgotten that the Xu family was almost illiterate. Fortunately, she had learned to read in a private school, so her literary words were not too strange.
"Mom, I'm not trying to eat snakes. What I'm saying is that although our family may care about reputation, the Zhang family cares even more. If my reputation is ruined, the worst that can happen is that I won't be able to get married. But if Zhang Yue's reputation is ruined, his future will be ruined."
"Oh!" Xu Wangshi actually didn't understand. This was beyond her knowledge, but what her daughter said was right.
The Zhang family came up with an idea, saying that they would adopt her as their goddaughter to preserve both her and Zhang Yue's reputation.
I have to say that Zhang Dahe's proposal is very thoughtful.
But the character of the Zhang family is there. After this incident, there is no need for the Xu family to marry into the Zhang family anymore.
Compared to fame, Xu Siyu wanted something practical. After all, she was short of money!
Six taels was Xu Siyu's opening price.
I originally wanted to do it according to the relationship and have a round trip, and I would be lucky to get two or three taels. In the end, the Zhang father and son did not dare to bargain and agreed, and also promised that this matter would not be spread to anyone.
In addition to Xu Siyu's threat that she would kill any girl Zhang Yue liked, it was probably also because he was scared by Xu Wangshi's beating.
The image of the old scoundrel is effective. Xu Siyu really loves Xu Wangshi.
"Second brother, you go to the village entrance and guard it early tomorrow morning. If they deliver the money, I will ask my eldest brother to call you back. If not, you follow the Zhang family." Xu Laoer is a scoundrel, and "threatening" the Zhang family is the most suitable way for him.
"Little sister..."
"After I get the money, I'll ask Mom to cook meat for the whole family and give you a whole bowl!"
"Hey, second brother won't sleep tonight. Let's go to the big locust tree now!" After he finished saying this, he ran away.
Xu Laoer, who could only get two pieces of meat during the Chinese New Year, was very motivated at this time.
"My daughter, what are you going to do with Xu Lao Er's meat? You don't even have enough meat to eat."
"Oh, mother, our family got six taels of silver. It's a happy event. We should celebrate!"
……
The next day, before dawn, Zhang Dahe's wife secretly stuffed a cloth bundle into Xu Wangshi's hand.
Xu Wang naturally handed it to Xu Siyu, and Xu Siyu opened the bundle under Zhang Wang's reluctant gaze.
A silver ingot of two taels; a few pieces of silver that were not enough to make up one tael; two old silver hairpins, weighing less than two taels, but including the labor cost, they could be sold for more than two taels when they were new; and there were also six feet of red and green cotton cloth padding underneath, worth a few cents.
If you calculate it carefully, it's just over five taels.
"Hmph, Auntie, do you think I coaxed Uncle Zhang and Zhang Dalang yesterday?" Xu Siyu changed her usual fawning attitude towards Zhang Wangshi and vowed to be accurate to the last penny.
"You... are so mercenary, aren't you afraid of not getting married?" Zhang Dahe was a hypocrite, and Zhang Wangshi was even more so. In the past, she had counted on Xu Siyu to help her deal with the gossips in the village. Sometimes, when Xu Siyu couldn't deal with it, Xu Wangshi would jump out to help.
"Wang Daya, I give you face!" Zhang Wangshi is Wang Daya. Before she got married, she had to call Wang Cuihua her cousin.
Back then, Zhang Dahe's first wife died of complications during childbirth. Xu Siyu's father saw that he was lonely, so he asked Xu Wangshi to introduce this marriage to him.
"Money, money, money, Sister Cuihua, don't you think that my son needs money to take the imperial examination? When my son passes the exam, he will definitely not forget to repay the villagers."
"Me, bah! Wang Daya, I rescued you from your drunkard father and paid for your engagement. You want to live a good life now, but you want to kick me, your cousin, away.
It's already like this, and I still expect any reward from your Zhang family?
Your Zhang family is ungrateful and is not the same as my Xu family.
Stop talking nonsense. The six taels we agreed on have been paid by your Zhang family. From now on, our two families will not be facing each other, and our roads will not connect."
"But I really have nothing, Sister Cuihua. His father only gave me less than three taels of silver, and I prepared these hairpins and cloth for my wife." Zhang Wang said, and looked at Xu Siyu again.
How could this girl force her!
