After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Seeing that Sun had finally given up pretending, Jinchu quickly stepped forward and said, "According to what you said, aunt, my brother will give you another twenty taels of silver afterwards. Will this matter be over?"

"How can that be?" Sun cried out.

"You've lived in a shabby little country house, with coarse clothes and poor food, and you've been starving for three years, and you think forty taels of silver is too little? Sun, why don't you just become a bandit?"

Huizhen's father changed his usual kind image, his eyes widened, and he shouted at Sun, scaring her so much that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

"Brother Dewang, how can you say that to me?"

"What? You can do it but I can't say it?"

Huizhen's father pointed at Sun and angrily scolded her, "Why don't we go to the old village chief's house and ask him if it's unkind of him to take 40 taels of silver and raise these two siblings for three years?"

"Dewang!"

"Brother Dewang!"

Grandpa Fudan and his father shouted at the same time. Grandpa Fudan even stepped forward to help Huizhen's father, saying with a smile: "It's my wife who is not kind. Country women are short-sighted. Don't bother with her."

"Yes, Brother Dewang, we are all from the same village. My wife is greedy, so I have to apologize to you first. Jin girl and her brother have lived in our house for three years. My wife was very caring for them in the first two years, but Jin girl's brother didn't come last year, so my wife was anxious and angry, so she didn't take good care of the brother and sister as much. Now she knows her mistake, and I think in the past two or three months, she has been trying to make up for her previous mistakes! Isn't that right, Jin girl?"

At the end of his words, Fudandie looked at Jinchu as if asking for advice.

Then you don’t know what your wife is thinking!

Jin Chu sneered in her heart, but she didn't want to discuss this matter in detail with Fudan's father. It was obvious that he was not a man who could control the Sun family.

Jin Chu nodded: "What happened before, anyone with a clear mind can see it, so there is no need for me to explain it in detail."

She paused, looked at the people in the room, and said seriously, "To be honest, I went to the capital a few days ago and met an uncle. He learned that my brother was away and my sister and I were staying here, so he insisted on taking me away."

Sun's face suddenly changed. If this girl left, what would happen to what she had promised Mr. Li?

She didn't care about anything else at the moment and spoke up to stop him: "Jin girl, if you leave suddenly, how can I explain to your brother when he comes?"

"Don't worry, auntie. Wait until I finish what I'm saying!" Jin Chu raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically. "This is also the reason I gave to my cousin. How dare I leave alone if my brother doesn't come?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Sun said repeatedly, "Jin girl, this is the right thing to do!"

"but,"

"But what?"

Jin Chu admired Sun's anxious expression for a while before slowly saying, "I've already told my uncle that my brother hasn't returned for a few years, and the money my host family promised me hasn't been paid yet. I have to fulfill that promise on my brother's behalf first! My uncle gave me the money and told me to give it to my aunt's family when I return! I'm here today to give the money. After I give it to you, the promise between my brother and my aunt will be fulfilled!"

Jin Chu turned to the still-astonished Sun and asked, "Aunt, what do you think of this idea? Should we do it today or wait until my brother returns to do it in person?"

"Although it was your brother's promise, you are his biological sister, so if you fulfill it, it will be the same as him fulfilling it!"

Sun was not stupid at all. If she fulfilled her promise today, she could get the silver today and wait for the dead girl's brother to come back. If he didn't come back this year and the dead girl was taken away by Li Yuanwai again, where would she find the twenty taels of silver?

Are you going to wait for the New Year instead of taking the money?

Jinchu wasn't surprised to hear what Sun said. She looked at Grandpa Fudan and his father and said, "If you two have no objection, then let's follow Aunt Sun's instructions and have Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhao serve as witnesses. I will present twenty taels of silver today, and my brother's promise to Aunt will end here! Is this okay with you all?"

Several people nodded.

Jin Chu took out twenty taels of silver and placed it on the table: "Aunt, can you confirm this?"

Sun hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the silver and nodded, "It's twenty taels, no problem." After that, she stuffed the silver directly into her pocket, as if she was afraid that it would be snatched away in a second.

Jin Chu was too lazy to look at Sun's greedy face, and took out five taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table.

Seeing Jin Chu's action, everyone looked over in surprise.

"Jin girl, what are you doing?" Hui Zhenniang asked in confusion.

"I must wait for my brother for another year this year. If he still hasn't come by February next year, I'll consider leaving. Is this five taels of silver enough for my sister and I to rent my aunt's house for another year?"

Sun immediately smiled and said yes.

She was not only happy because the girl gave her another five taels of silver, but she was even happier because of the news that she would have to stay for another year.

In this way, she could keep an eye on the girl, and when she handed her over to Mr. Li a few months later, she would have received another huge sum of money. Not to mention that the girl gave her five taels of silver, even if she didn't give her a penny, she would still ask the girl to live there.

When Jin Chu saw Sun accept the silver, he thought: These five taels are a bargain for you, a greedy and black-hearted woman. Let's calm her down first!

She winked at Huizhen's parents. Huizhen's father cleared his throat and stood up again. "Since today is a witness, we naturally need a certificate. Otherwise, won't Jin girl have an explanation for the twenty-five taels of silver?"

Grandpa Fudan and his father remained silent, but Sun spoke up, "Big brother and sister-in-law are both witnesses. We accepted the money today, so naturally we acknowledge it. With witnesses, how can we not acknowledge it?"

"Sister-in-law, we are just witnesses. Logically, we also need a certificate. Otherwise, what are we witnessing for?"

Huizhen's father glanced at the other two men in the room and said meaningfully, "If there's ever a conflict between our two families in the future, how many people would be willing to acknowledge us as witnesses without a certificate? Twenty-five taels of silver is no small sum. If you don't want to write this certificate today, just return the silver to Jin and let her give it to her uncle. You can just wait until her brother arrives to collect the silver."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sun jumped up and said, "That won't do! Since Jin has already fulfilled this promise today, how can you take it back?"

She glanced at the two men behind her and urged, "Eunuch, my child's father, let's sign this certificate, shall we? Jin girl is not an outsider. We have already received the money today. We can't let her run back and forth for nothing, right?"

Jin Chu curled his lips in disdain at her hypocritical words.

Seeing that Sun had persuaded the two men in the family, Huizhen's father quickly took out the written testimony and read it to everyone word by word. At the end, he asked the three people to put their fingerprints on the names of several people, and then put his fingerprints on the name of the last witness.

Two copies were made, one was given to Jinchu and the other was given to Sun.

The three-year-long lawsuit between the Jinchu siblings and the Sun family has finally come to an end.
