The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 37: Get the money and sign the receipt!

"Heh~" Zhou Laosan finally understood that the couple from the first wife took the opportunity to blackmail their family.

"Zhou Chunfeng, Jiang, you are so arrogant."

Although it was Uncle Zhou who proposed the fifteen taels, anyone with common sense would know that they must have colluded before they came and were targeting the Zhou family.

Zhou Chunfeng said coldly, "Why, you think it's too much? You don't have to pay, just report it to the police."

"Go ahead and report it to the authorities. Do you think you can convict our fourth sister based on a few words from the villagers?"

Upon hearing this, Lin slapped Zhou Laosan on the back of his head and said, "Report your mother to the authorities. Who agreed to report it? You are Yue'er's biological brother, but you can't stand seeing your sister doing well."

"..."

Zhou Laosan was caught off guard and was stunned. He rubbed the back of his head and explained, "No, mother, when did I say that I couldn't bear to see Fourth Sister get better? The eldest wife and the others are clearly using this matter to threaten our family. Are we just going to accept it like this?"

Zhou Laoer blinked. It was not that he didn't want to express his opinion, but Lao San was there, and Lao San said everything he wanted to say.

Before this, Zhou Lao Er had always felt that his family was in the wrong in this matter, but the eldest brother was really asking for too much. They were all rural farmers, and no one's family casually took out fifteen taels of silver. The eldest brother not only deliberately made things difficult for them, but also forced the Zhou family into a desperate situation.

You should know that I just gave fifteen taels of silver to the eldest son a while ago, and now the first wife is asking for another fifteen taels of silver in compensation. Even if I have some extra silver in my hands, there is no reason for me to give it away like this.

Jiang Li and Aunt Hu smiled at each other, and looked coldly at the mother and son of the Zhou family who had their own thoughts.

Lin's face darkened as she looked at Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng. "Fifteen taels, do you think that's money for buying your life? He's just a country brat. Even if you kill him, he's not worth that much. You have no conscience."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hu frowned in displeasure and slammed the table. "Ms. Lin, I told you before that I'm not here to argue with you. If you don't control your tongue, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After saying this, Mrs. Hu turned around and gave her son a stern look, "Go, call the clan leader. I'm afraid their family can't handle this matter properly today. Let's let the clan settle this matter."

Dashuan rubbed his hands together, looking as if he wanted to punch the sky: "Hey, okay, mother."

"You are not allowed to leave and you are not allowed to look for the clan leader." Lin immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Dashuan paused, looking at Lin who was standing in his way. He couldn't really reach out and push her away. He turned around helplessly and glanced at his parents.

Uncle Zhou calmed down and gestured to Dashuan to sit down.

There was nothing that Lin didn't understand at this moment. The eldest wife was blackmailing their family today. She didn't want to expose this matter to her family members, nor did she want to take it to the government, so she could only bear the loss.

Her precious Yue'er was going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, bringing her, her mother, and her two brothers with her to great heights. The whole family's hopes were on her daughter, and she had to protect her.

Lin glared fiercely at Zhou Chunfeng and his wife, who refused to budge. She steeled her resolve and said through gritted teeth, "We can't afford that much silver right now. Five taels at most, no more."

Jiang Li knew that Lin would not compromise easily. A hint of cunning flashed across her smiling eyes. She took out five taels of silver that she had prepared in advance from her sleeve pocket and slapped it on the table.

"Who can't afford five taels? We, the eldest wife, will give you these five taels." Jiang Li said, and then gestured to Dashuan and Zhou Chunfeng, "Drag Zhou Xingyue out of the house. I, the Jiang family, will use these five taels to buy two of her legs."

"Okay, sister-in-law." When Dashuan heard that the main event was about to begin, the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Zhou Chunfeng pressed his lips, trying not to laugh, and obediently stood up and walked out of the house with Dashuan.

The expressions of Lin's mother and her two children suddenly changed drastically. Lin said, "How dare you? You won't let me touch my Yue'er—"

"Zhou Chunfeng, if you dare to touch my sister, my Zhou family will never forgive you."

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced back at Zhou Laosan, whose eyes were red with anger, and said coldly: "What are you saying? When will our two families ever get along?"

After Zhou Chunfeng finished speaking, his expression instantly became chilling.

Zhou Laosan's heart sank, knowing that Zhou Chunfeng was serious.

Zhou Lao Er rushed out of the house and blocked their way on the corridor, trying to persuade them kindly: "Brother, let's talk it out. We are all family. Fourth Sister has already realized her mistake."

"Get out of the way!" Zhou Chunfeng's face was no longer as indifferent and calm as before. His aura made anyone who saw him feel a little scared.

Lin was so frightened that she stumbled out and blocked their way: "Boss, Yue'er is your sister."

"My brother Heng is her nephew!" Zhou Chunfeng hated preaching to others the most. He glanced at Lin's mother and son coldly and passed by them.

Zhou Laosan was frozen in place by Zhou Chunfeng's gaze. After a long time, he came to his senses and saw that Zhou Chunfeng and Dashuan were really about to break into the girl's room, so he quickly ran over to stop them.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Lin was filled with anger and fear. This was her daughter's room, so if the eldest son went in, it would be fine. After all, they were brother and sister. What would happen if Zhou Dashuan went in?

"I'll give it to you. Fifteen taels from our family. I'll give it to you right away." Lin was already in a state of panic. She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly, and she was filled with fear.

Between fifteen taels and her daughter's reputation and physical harm, no matter how much Lin cared about the money, she had to keep the latter.

There was a lot of noise outside the corridor, so naturally the people in the main room heard it. Jiang Li smiled complacently at Aunt Hu. He knew that he had to pinch Lin's lifeline to get justice.

When Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan heard that their mother actually agreed to pay fifteen taels of silver, they were both angry and anxious. However, since Zhou Chunfeng could not get the money, it was impossible for him to leave.

Listening to the noise outside the house, Zhou Xingyue, lying on the soft kang, bit her pale lower lip in anger.

Zhou Xingyue couldn't understand why her elder brother and his wife, since they were also living a new life, didn't they know that they could only live a good life in the future if they curry favor with her?

Lin suppressed her grief, dug out the cash from the bottom of her treasure chest, and gave it to Zhou Chunfeng very reluctantly.

Jiang Li just came out of the main room, and Zhou Chunfeng threw the purse to her. Jiang Li took the purse, weighed it in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Now, Lin didn't want to see the eldest wife's face again, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Take the money, why don't you get out of here?"

Jiang Li ignored Lin's sullen face and said with a bright smile, "I've taken the money, but you have to sign the receipt. Otherwise, if I take the money and then go to the government to sue you, you'll be left speechless."

Lin was slightly startled when she heard this, and seemed quite surprised.

However, Jiang was right. If this black-hearted couple took the money and refused to acknowledge it, the fifteen taels would be wasted.

Zhou Laosan has always been a perceptive person and vaguely sensed that there was something else behind Jiang's words.

Until they returned to the main hall and took over the two documents that Jiang Li had prepared in advance.

Suddenly, Zhou Lao San's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Lin was illiterate, and Zhou Lao Er knew a few words, but not many, and couldn't understand even if he leaned over to look.

Lin urged the third son to sign quickly so that the thief who had hurt her heart could be driven away. Now when she saw the eldest son's wife, she felt short of breath and dizzy.
