The smell of pig offal in the carriage was unpleasant.

Zhao Mingyuan looked even more depressed and unable to speak. Father Xiao was also helpless, wondering what his daughter was thinking.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Wan said, "You don't understand how delicious it is."

Zhao Mingyuan and Old Man Xiao looked constipated.

"Once it's cleaned, it won't stink anymore. I'll make something delicious for you to try and you'll know. Give some to Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao too."

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the pile of pig offal and couldn't imagine how his mother, a rich lady, would eat pig offal.

Ugh, I want to vomit, I can’t think about it anymore.

Xiao Wan had an expression on her face that you guys didn't understand, and said, "Hmph, you guys can be disgusted all you want now, but don't fight over the food later."

When Xiao Wan, Old Man Xiao, and Zhao Mingyuan arrived home, it was almost 3 p.m., which is around 2 p.m. in modern times.

Zhao Cuihua had already blocked the door, and the village head was also sitting in the yard, looking very impatient with Zhao Cuihua.

From a distance, Zhao Cuihua could be heard shouting triumphantly at Liu.

"Sister-in-law, didn't your Wan'er keep saying she would pay back the money today? Where is she? I brought the head of the village here. Don't accuse me of cheating you."

Liu looked helpless.

Xiao Wan was furious when she heard this and hurried home with Old Man Xiao.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan also followed over, worried that something might happen to the Xiao family.

Many villagers also gathered at the door of the house, some of whom were there to watch the fun, such as Li Chunhua.

There are also people like Aunt Wang's family who are worried.

The village head, also surnamed Zhao, said to Zhao Cuihua with disgust, "Just shut up! Why are you so anxious when the second brother hasn't come back yet? Does Tiequan know you're making such a fuss? We're all family, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, Lizheng, you can't say that. It's not easy for my boss to be a blacksmith in town. My son An also needs to go to school and pay tuition. Everything costs money, and I'm in urgent need of it."

Zhao Cuihua felt very guilty as she spoke. If her husband knew about this, he would definitely be angry with her.

After all, they are brother and sister-in-law from the same clan, and Xiao Tiequan is a loyal and honest man.

In order to make money, he only comes back one or two days a month, unless it is the busy farming season.

She had to get the money back quickly while her husband was not at home. She earned ten cents a day without doing anything clean.

Zhao Cuihua was proud of herself and pleased with her own cleverness.

When the donkey cart arrived at the door of the Xiao family, the surrounding villagers all looked over, very curious. Whose relative was this?

After all, the village was poor, and only the headman's family had a donkey cart, and no one else could afford it.

Zhao Mingyuan, Xiao Wan and Old Man Xiao lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Xiao Wan asked the driver to wait a moment and paid him five cents more, and the driver happily agreed.

After getting off the car, Xiao Wan walked up to Zhao Cuihua, stood in front of Liu, and said, "Aunt, there's no need to be so aggressive. I'll return the money to you right away, so don't worry."

After saying that, he greeted the village head and called him Grandpa Zhao.

Zhao Lizheng nodded and praised him, saying, "Good boy."

Zhao Cuihua and the villagers were stunned. Is this the donkey cart of Xiao Laoer's family?

That's impossible. Zhao Cuihua couldn't help but step forward and try to lift the curtain of the donkey cart.

The people watching the excitement on the side also became a little jealous and shouted: "Look, the second brother's family has become rich, look what they bought."

Xiao Wan gave the man a cold look.

She grabbed Zhao Cuihua's hand, threw it away without any courtesy, and said, "Aunt is from the same clan as us, how dare you bring people to force my family like this? I, Xiao Wan, also keep my word. Today, in front of the head of the village and everyone else, you bring the IOU here. I will lend you fifty coins. You must pay ten coins in interest within one day. Bring me the IOU and I'll count the money."

"Wow, this Zhao Cui is really ruthless. She asks for ten cents a day."

"That's right, we're still a family. Xiao Tiequan doesn't seem like that kind of person."

The onlookers were suddenly in an uproar.

The villagers had been honest all their lives, and no one had ever heard of anyone lending fifty cents and paying ten cents in interest within a day.

Isn’t this a black heart?

"You know what? Xiao Tiequan is not a bad guy. He is a real man. His wife is mean. She probably came up with this evil thing while Xiao Tiequan was not at home."

"Zhao Cuihua, why are you so cruel? He's not your brother."

After all, most of the villagers were kindhearted and could not bear to watch it any longer, so they shouted at Zhao Cuihua.

"I...what's wrong with me? If I hadn't been kind-hearted, I would have lent them fifty cents, which would have delayed my brother An'er's tuition. I only lent it for the sake of our family."

Zhao Cuihua put her hands on her hips, pointed at the villagers and shouted loudly to cover up her guilty conscience.

"Bah, you are so shameless! We are all brothers and sisters, and we all have urgent times. You can't wait even a day. You are forcing your brother and sister-in-law for fifty cents, and you want ten cents interest. You are like a skinned person!"

Aunt Wang next door was so angry that she started cursing, and the villagers were all filled with righteous indignation.

"Oh, his aunt, how can you talk like that? I guess you're not worried about borrowing money from your family. Besides, why are you interfering in the affairs of my Xiao family? Go away."

Zhao Cuihua retorted to Aunt Wang stubbornly.

Xiao Wan quickly supported Aunt Wang and helped her calm down.

He took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, which contained some small change and copper coins.

Xiao Wan counted out sixty copper coins and turned to Zhao, the village chief, and said, "Uncle Chief, we're all here. Please count the money and give me the IOU, and the account will be settled."

Zhao Lizheng nodded, took the money and counted it.

He turned around and asked Zhao Cuihua for the IOU in a bad mood. Zhao Lizheng was also very annoyed with Zhao Cuihua.

He is the head of the village and has always been prestigious in the village.

For example, his brother Zhao Cheng is already a scholar, so he has to properly handle the big and small matters in the village and not let his son lose the title of scholar.

It is common for women in the village to quarrel, but I have never seen a woman with such a black heart.

The village is poor and no one has an easy life, especially my brother and sister-in-law who are from the same clan.

When Xiao Tiequan comes back in the future, he will have to talk to him properly.

Zhao Cuihua didn't expect Xiao Wan to be able to take it out. There was quite a lot of money in the cloth bag.

Zhao Cuihua felt uncomfortable and quickly took the IOU. The headman handed her the money and the deal was settled.

Without even looking at Zhao Cuihua, Xiao Wan said to the village head, "Could you please come over here and have some water and sit down?"

"No, no, I'm going home."

The head of the village waved his hand. He could see clearly that there were still things left on the donkey cart. What was the point of him staying in someone else's house?

It’s not like I’m thinking about other people’s things. After saying that, Li Zheng went home with his hands behind his back.
