The young couple from the farm fights back

Jiang Li once again ignored Zhou Laosan's dark face and reminded him, "Look carefully, sign and seal it. You and I will each keep a copy."

"Don't go too far. This is not a receipt. It's clearly the leverage you have over our Zhou family." Zhou Laosan gritted his teeth, making a clattering sound.

Upon hearing this, Lin frowned, thinking that she had already paid the fifteen taels of silver, what else did the black-hearted eldest wife want to do.

"Third brother, what's written on it?"

Zhou Laosan suppressed his anger and told my mother the contents of the document: "The higher-ups said that Fourth Sister was plotting against a few guys, and that our Zhou family was willing to pay fifteen taels to settle the matter."

Jiang Li blinked and nodded: "Isn't it?"

"..."

Zhou Laosan almost choked with anger, and the next words almost burst out from between his teeth: "If our Zhou family distorts the truth outside, or continues to make entanglements about this matter, they will make the written document public. You have the final say in all good things, and you can control our Zhou family just like this."

Zhou Lao Er frowned upon hearing this, wondering, is he the only one who thinks there's nothing wrong with this document?

However, Zhou Laoer didn't dare to express his opinion.

Lin pointed at Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng viciously and said, "You two are such a black-hearted couple. You actually want to take advantage of me over this."

Zhou Chunfeng sneered, "What do you mean by 'control'?" Then he glared at Zhou Laosan, "Since you can read, don't you understand what it means?"

"Is what the fourth girl did to my brothers true? Is your family's compensation of fifteen taels of silver to settle the matter true?"

"Since it's all true, what are you afraid of? Ultimately, this evidence should be a guarantee for our eldest wife. Who knows if some people might harbor resentment over it and resort to ulterior motives."

Jiang Li nodded. "That's right. Our eldest branch is weak, so we can't be completely without protection. Anyway, from now on, your Zhou family and our eldest branch will not interfere with each other, so we can live in peace. How can this be used as a handle to control you?"

"Oh~" Jiang Li said with a surprised expression: "Have you made up your mind to come back and cause trouble for our eldest wife? If so, then we must keep this document safe."

Aunt Hu looked at the furious Lin, suppressed her slightly raised lip, and glanced at the complacent young couple across from her: "Logically speaking, this document won't harm your family. If the Chunfeng family takes your compensation and then continues to pursue this matter, you can just make this document public."

Uncle Zhou nodded solemnly, "That's exactly the point. The written agreement is just an agreement between the two parties. There's nothing to be cautious about. We'll all be fellow villagers living in Shili Village in the future. We can't keep estranged from each other because of one thing."

When Zhou Laoer heard this, he nodded twice silently, thinking that what Uncle Zhou said made a lot of sense. He turned around to face his mother and the third uncle with cold faces, and his neck froze with fear.

Zhou Chunfeng and Jiang Li stopped talking and gave Lin's mother and son some time to think about the reason.

Lin glanced at the couple again, gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Laosan: "Hurry up, let's get these rotten-hearted people out of our house."

Jiang Li didn't care much about Lin's sarcasm. Things had developed to this point, and Li Zi's face was in her own hands. No matter what Lin did at the moment, he could only talk.

No matter how reluctant Zhou Laosan was, he had to pick up the pen and sign his name because his mother nodded in agreement.

Dashuan couldn't wait to stand up and walk forward, snatching the document that Zhou Laosan had just picked up.

Zhou Laosan was so angry that he glared and his lungs hurt even more.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please keep it." Dashuan handed the document to Zhou Chunfeng like a dog.

Zhou Chunfeng curled his lips and took the document and handed it to Jiang Li beside him.

Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Laosan's signature, which was like a chicken scratching its head, and calmly put the document away. He stood up and clapped his hands, saying to him in front of him: "Today, my head of the family and I would like to thank my aunt and uncle for their help. With this document in the future, our eldest wife can finally rest assured."

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Hu showed relieved and kind smiles on their faces, while Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows and glared at Jiang Li angrily.

"Jiang, I advise you not to lose your conscience. We agreed on this matter today, and there's no turning back to me and do this to my Yue'er—"

"Don't worry." Before she could finish, Jiang took Aunt Hu's hand and glanced at Lin: "The documents are here, and my second uncle and aunt are here to testify. Even if your family doesn't trust me and my head of the family, you have to trust my second uncle and aunt."

Uncle Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. Now that the matter is settled, let's go."

Zhou Chunfeng tactfully bowed to his second uncle: "Yes, second uncle."

Zhou Laosan's face darkened as he watched the changes in the eldest couple, his eyes narrowing again. His fists clenched on the table, so tightly that the knuckles on his fingers turned pale.

Jiang Li knew clearly that today's incident was thanks to the help of Uncle Zhou Er's family.

She knew the ways of the world, so she gave Zhou Chunfeng a hundred coins and asked him to go to the butcher's house to buy a few pounds of fat meat as a thank you gift.

Uncle Zhou’s house.

Aunt Hu accepted the gift from Zhou Chunfeng with a smile on her face. The large piece of fat meat really made her greedy: "Look at you two, you just wasted money. You should use it to nourish the child."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "Don't be polite, Auntie. It's our family that should thank Second Uncle and Auntie."

"Okay, okay, you are so thoughtful." Aunt Hu liked dealing with this kind young couple more and more.

Uncle Zhou Er took a puff of his water pipe and said with a smile, "Bring your wife and children to my house for dinner tonight."

Dashuan nodded happily: "Yes, come to our house for dinner tonight, and I will have a good drink with you, big brother."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "That's thoughtful."

Zhao came out of the warehouse, holding Dabao in her arms and a small cloth bag in her hand. "Brother, a few days ago, sister-in-law said she wanted to open two plots of land in her backyard to grow vegetables. We happen to have extra vegetable seeds, so we don't have to spend money to buy them in town."

Aunt Hu smiled and said, "They're not worth much. It's the autumn harvest and the time to plant cabbages. I can take them home and plant them so that I can have some vegetables to eat during the New Year."

Seeing this, Zhou Chunfeng took it without hesitation: "Okay."

When the new house was built, Jiang Li had reserved a large plot of land behind it to plant some fruit. The seeds Aunt Hu had given him were the common cabbage and radish seeds of the area.

With the rapeseed, the young couple turned the soil in two days, covered it with natural fertilizer, and then sowed the rapeseed.

The rice drying in the sun in the front yard covered the entire yard in golden color, creating a scene of peace and prosperity all year round.

Little did they know that when the rice was almost dried, the village head would start sending people to urge the villagers to pay this year's taxes from house to house.

Jiang Li: ..., my flesh hurts!

Zhou Chunfeng: ..., my head hurts!
