Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Although they didn't interact much, Xu Chengyuan knew that the Xu family's uncles and aunts were still very caring towards their family.

There were a few years when the family couldn't buy food, and it was only because several uncles gave them some of the millet they had saved for seeds that they were able to get through it.

Of course, the little aunt in front of him had never experienced these hardships. When everyone was stuffing themselves with husks, the worst she could do was drink corn porridge.

Later, he learned that many of the hardships in his family were caused by Xu Wangshi, and his hatred for Xu Siyu increased.

"Who told you to set the fire? No matter whose house it is, don't you know that it's illegal?" Xu Siyu asked.

"It was Boss Qian who ordered it." Xu Chengyuan answered the first question, and the second question was easy to answer.

"Boss Qian? A hunchbacked old man?"

A not very conspicuous figure flashed through Xu Siyu's mind. It was the figure she saw outside the yamen. As soon as Xu Siyu saw him, the man ran away in panic.

Just a hunch, there's something wrong with this guy.

Xu Chengyuan stopped answering, and Lily Su hurriedly continued, "Yes, Siyu, we didn't burn the mountain on purpose. It was Boss Qian who ordered us to do it."

She didn't want to be expelled from the tribe. If she was expelled, she would be driven out of Xinshan Village. Where would she be buried then?

"Boss Qian ordered you to set fire, and you did it?"

"We just wanted to make some money, we didn't know we would be caught... Siyu, I will give you all the money I earned, please plead for our family and don't let my uncle expel us from the clan." Su Li changed her initial mischievous behavior and kowtowed frantically to beg for mercy.

"Make money? How much money did you make? Can you use the money you earned from murder and arson with peace of mind?"

Lidya Su didn't care whether Xu Siyu was mocking her or not, and hurriedly confessed: "More than one hundred taels, I have it under the stove wall of our house. I will give it all to you, and Cheng Yuan and Yu Niang will also provide for your retirement in the future. Don't chase me away, okay?"

Su Li and Yu Niang were taken away together from the gate of the county government office by the Xu family. They rushed to the county government office to see if there was any way to rescue them, but they were caught by the Xu family.

They had not yet cleaned up their tiled house in the county, so naturally they still had some assets.

"Over a hundred taels?" Xu Siyu sneered, "Humph, isn't that enough for me to pay the other family for the fire you started?"

"Are you stupid? You did something so evil and got caught red-handed, and you still think you can live to spend money?"

Xu Chengyuan couldn't bear to see Xu Siyu being aggressive towards his mother again, so he yelled at her, "Take the money if I give it to you, and I'll give you my life as compensation for the rest, okay?"

Xu Siyu waved her hand and slapped Xu Chengyuan with such force that she shook her hand to relieve the pain.

"Your life, is that enough for a fart?"

Since childhood, Xu Siyu and Xu Chengyuan have disliked each other, but they have never fought.

Xu Chengyuan was slapped in disbelief and glared at Xu Siyu angrily.

Xu Siyu was not afraid of his hatred, but she still hated him.

"What are you looking at? You still haven't figured out that someone is using you to cause a fight at home!"

"You fart!"

"How dare you talk back to your elders like this, you little bastard?" Seventh uncle went back to the battlefield on crutches.

The others did not intervene in the fight. This was to support the uncle so that his children and grandchildren would not fight enough and hurt him.

"If I don't fart, then you fart." Xu Siyu took over the crutches of her seventh uncle. It was much easier to vent her anger by beating people. She started chopping wood randomly.

Two hundred taels and three hundred taels, did her money come from the wind?

This damn kid still refuses to admit his mistake, which makes her so angry.

Xu Siyu's posture was that she was venting her anger, but no one stopped her. Everyone tactfully stepped back a few steps to leave her enough space to perform.

Su Li was frightened by the crazy Xu Siyu. When she came to her senses and wanted to protect her son, she saw Xu Huaichuan pounce on her first.

"Little sister, sister, if you are angry, hit your second brother, don't hit Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan didn't mean to hit you."

Xu Huaichuan begged and cried bitterly, still acting like a coward.

"Dad, get out of my way."

"No, Chengyuan, we were wrong. We deserve to be beaten for our mistakes."

……

This performance of a loving father and a filial son is somewhat inappropriate.

Xu Siyu raised his hands high and was about to go down, but now many people came to stop him.

"Little niece, let your uncle come!" Xu Siyu can't hit Xu Huaichuan, but Xu Chengxin can.

He took the crutch and hit Xu Huaichuan ten times on each side before stopping and asking, "Chuan'er, our Xu family has always been honest and upright. How did you go astray? And you're even helping outsiders to deal with your own family?"

"We don't know, uncle, we really don't know. Siyu is my sister. If I knew that was her house, would I dare to set it on fire?"

"So if someone tells you to set a fire, you do it? Don't you really want to think about whether it's even possible?"

"Uncle, what I pointed out was a haystack, which is quite far from the house. Boss Qian said that the owner of the house owed money and didn't pay it back. He even used the creditor's money to build the house. He asked us to teach him a lesson so that the creditor will pay us for the labor he put in after receiving the money."

"Who is the creditor?" Xu Siyu grasped the point and asked.

Xu Huaichuan shook his head and replied, "We don't know. We are only responsible for taking action and are not allowed to ask. Boss Qian said that the creditors are all rich and powerful, and we shouldn't know about it. Don't ask too much, otherwise, we won't be able to help..."

Xu Siyu was speechless. He even acted with professional ethics by doing these things.

Xu Siyu really wanted to slap his second brother and get the muddy water out of his head.

Boss Qian, alright. She'll go find it again.

"Sister, don't tell mother that I burned your house down... I'll pay you back the hundred taels your sister-in-law mentioned first. Our whole family will definitely pay you back what we owe you."

"You still dare to mention mother? You've been gone for so long, I don't know how worried mother must be. Also, you said you're still paying. I built that attic for my business. The materials were all high-quality materials bought in the county. In addition to the help of the Xu family, I also hired craftsmen from the county. The total cost was almost two hundred taels. You burned it all, and it's all gone. Do you count the medical expenses for the uncles and nephews who were injured while fighting the fire? And the fire burned down two neighboring farms, and the compensation was three hundred taels. I calculated it as a round number of five hundred. When I went to your house and dug out one hundred taels, I was left with four hundred taels. How are you going to pay it back? And set fire again?"

"It wasn't just our family that did it. There were other people involved." When Su Li heard that one hundred taels was not enough and there was still a shortfall of four hundred taels, she immediately started to make a fuss again.

"Yes, you're right. I'll let you go and look for it. See how much money you can get back."

Xu Chengyuan knew that it would be difficult to get money from these people.

They have to move frequently to do these things, so it is not easy to find people.

"You are stupid. You are the victim. Why do you have to pay money first when there is nothing to do? There were still a few people caught at that time. If you spread the money among the families, you will have the money." Xu Chengyuan had a sneer of dissatisfaction on his dark face.

He was wrong, but Xu Siyu was not wrong?
