The young couple from the farm fights back

Zhou Xingyue couldn't figure out what the eldest wife was thinking, so the only option now was to appease her first.

"Sister-in-law, mother didn't mean anything else. Big brother is the eldest son of our Zhou family. It's unreasonable for mother to ignore him when he is sick."

After Zhou Xingyue finished speaking, she looked at her three nephews in the corner and said to her eldest nephew, "Brother Heng, quickly pick up the silver on the ground for your parents so they can buy medicine for your father."

Upon hearing this, Yiheng looked at his mother timidly and didn't dare to move.

Mother looked very angry, and father seemed angry too.

Yes, Zhou Chunfeng’s eyes were red, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his sallow face was as cold as ice.

Jiang Li looked back at his eldest son and said, "Keep an eye on your brother. This is our adults' business."

"Yeah." Yiheng responded straightforwardly.

Zhou Xingyue:......

My sister-in-law doesn't appreciate it?

What about the eldest brother?

Zhou Xingyue turned her gaze towards Zhou Chunfeng inside and discovered that her elder brother had also become abnormal.

Seeing this, Lin stamped her feet in anger and cursed, "You Jiang, you've grown wings, haven't you? Don't think that I have to control you, my eldest wife. Since we have separated, we will each live our own way from now on. I will keep an eye on you. Without the Zhou family, how good will your eldest wife be?"

Jiang Li's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled faintly: "We dare not ask for help from the Zhou family, but we will not let outsiders get a single cent of what belongs to us."

Zhou Xingyue's beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at Jiang Li in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what are you saying——"

Jiang Li glanced at Zhou Xingyue and said, "Well, our two families have already torn their faces apart today. I don't have the time to argue with your Zhou family. When the family was divided, we should follow the document signed by the old man. Each branch of the family will receive 20 taels of silver and two acres of land."

"Now, you want to embezzle the remaining fifteen taels of silver and two mu of land, and instead use two taels of silver to send my wife and me off. My head of the household and I will go to my uncle and ask for an explanation the next day."

Ding~

Lin's heart trembled, and a trace of panic flashed across her furious face.

Zhou Xingyue tightened her grip on Lin's hand, her voice a little stiff, "Sister-in-law, you and brother must have made a mistake. Dad didn't leave any documents behind."

When Mrs. Lin heard her daughter say this, she immediately straightened her back and said, "You're so arrogant! Twenty taels? Do you think the Zhou family runs a silver mine? You can just give me whatever you say?"

"The old man has been ill for so many years, taking medicine all the time. All the money he had was squandered by his sick body. How can there be such a thing as one branch receiving twenty silver coins? Even if there is a written document, the Zhou family simply can't afford the money. Are you two going to force me and my brothers to die?"

"You are such a black-hearted wretch! Your brothers and sisters-in-law all respected you, but in the end, you were wrongly accused of being the black-hearted wretch who stole money."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Li blinked in amusement.

Then, he turned around and looked at Zhou Chunfeng: "Master, didn't you say before that when our old man was young, he deposited a sum of money with his uncle?"

Zhou Chunfeng's cold face relaxed, and his head was buzzing.

However, when he met Jiang Li's suggestive look, he nodded in understanding.

Jiang Li curled up the corners of her mouth, looked back with satisfaction, and caught a flash of panic in Lin's eyes.

Then he pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, our eldest house still has the same intention. When our uncle comes back, we'll know once we ask him."

"After all, we don't know when the old man returned the money he saved to the Zhou family. Did the uncle give it to the deceased old man or to someone else?"

Zhou Xingyue hurriedly looked at Lin, feeling that the development of the situation was beyond their expectations.

Zhou Xingyue would be unwilling to let the eldest wife take away the remaining fifteen taels and two acres of land.

Last month, she was finally accepted as an apprentice by an embroidery workshop in town, and she has to pay a monthly tuition fee.

In addition, she also has to keep up with her daily food, clothing and other expenses. If the money is returned to the first wife, it is conceivable that her expenses will be reduced.

Jiang Li caught the changes in Zhou Xingyue's eyes and always felt that the heroine created by the author was becoming more and more illogical.

Lin has never lost in her speech: "Why, you want to bring up your uncle to scare me?"

"I never thought your eldest wife would be so heartless. You said it yourself, eldest brother, you lost your mother when you were two years old. If I hadn't raised you with all my heart and soul, would you have lived to this age? I even married you off and gave birth to children for you, but in the end, your eldest wife got all the good things, while I was left with the reputation of being mean."

Zhou Chunfeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when his name was called. His previously heavy mind became much clearer. It seemed that the bowl of medicine he drank had taken effect.

He first looked at Jiang Li who turned around, then curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the mother and daughter outside the house with indifferent eyes.

"My wife said that no one in our family will lose a single cent. What's the matter? Don't you understand me?" The man's voice was a little hoarse, but his pronunciation was clear and his tone was colder than ever before.

Lin, who was about to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum, stopped half-squatting and looked at Zhou Chunfeng on the kang in disbelief.

Zhou Xingyue looked at Zhou Chunfeng with dilated pupils, unable to believe it.

My sister-in-law has changed, and my brother has changed too.

what is the problem?

Zhou Chunfeng glanced at the mother and daughter at the door, then retracted his gaze and said to Jiang Li in a slow voice, "If our clan can't make a decision on this matter, we can go to the government. The officials will always be able to make a decision for our family."

When Jiang Li heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Is this guy stupid? In ancient times, if you went to the government office to report to the authorities, you would first be beaten with twenty boards!

However, these words can have a deterrent effect.

Look at the heroine Zhou Xingyue, her face has turned pale, and her clear eyes are filled with moisture. She looks so pitiful, as a beautiful woman should.

"What the boss said is true."

Jiang Li's words once again shocked Zhou Xingyue so much that her knees trembled slightly and she almost fell down.

"Report, report, report to the authorities?" Lin took a deep breath.

He looked at the couple in the room in disbelief, thinking, how dare the eldest wife actually report this to the police!

How come someone who has been a coward for half his life suddenly has a brain?

"Yes, that's right, report to the police." Jiang Li reminded again in a firm tone.

Zhou Xingyue's eyes turned redder, as if she was terrified. While steadying the wobbly Lin on her feet, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please don't report this to the police. Not only will it make outsiders laugh at our family, it's also bad for our Zhou family's reputation."

Jiang Li really didn't want to laugh, and glanced at Zhou Xingyue meaningfully: "Which is more important, life or reputation? If your life is about to be taken away by someone with ulterior motives, what's the point of having a reputation? I'm afraid what you said is not about your own reputation."

The tears in Zhou Xingyue's eyes instantly crossed her pale face, "Sister-in-law, what you said——"

Lin couldn't bear to see her beloved daughter being insulted by Jiang, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Li interrupted her with a wave of her hand.

His tone was one of undisguised annoyance: "Don't come to our house and cry foul. Since you already know what our eldest branch wants, the Zhou family will do what they can. If they can't, we'll ask our uncle to go to the government office the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Li's words made Lin, who was about to jump up and down, suddenly her legs went weak again.

No matter how fierce and fierce a country woman is, she can never withstand the intimidation of the government officials.

"The two mu of land that should have gone to our eldest son was taken away by you for two years. Do you know how much money you can earn from renting out the two mu of land in two years?"

Jiang Li glanced at the two of them and continued calmly, "So, our eldest wife won't bother with you too much. The grain grown this year, along with the two acres of land, will be returned to our eldest wife. Oh, and don't forget the fifteen taels of silver. It would be best if everyone can handle this quietly. Otherwise, we'll meet at the government office."
