A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

“The money has already been spent, where would we get any more? Since Yunluo caused this, let her pay it back,” Liu Hehua quickly shook her head.

She couldn't bear to part with twenty taels of silver; she wanted to save it to help Yunlan so that she would have face when she married into the family.

"Mother, where would Xiao Luo get twenty taels of silver?" Zhou Rong couldn't help but ask. The Yun family had some wealth and didn't have a hard time making a living in the village. She had been a daughter-in-law of the Yun family for so many years and knew that it wouldn't be difficult for them to come up with twenty taels of silver.

Liu Hehua glared at her fiercely, "With so many mouths to feed in the family, rice and grain cost money. Do you think it falls from the sky?"

The old woman is utterly shameless.

Just as Yunlu was about to explain, her gaze fell on her mother and younger brother, and an idea came to her mind. "Grandma, if we pay back the money ourselves, how about you grant me one request?"

"What are the conditions?" Liu Hehua asked without hesitation.

Qin Zheng's dilapidated thatched hut? Could he possibly pay back twenty taels of silver?

"Separate the family!"

"No way!" Liu Hehua refused without hesitation.

Zhou Rong and Xiao Jie eat little and poorly; they can be fed with just a little food, but they are excellent at working.

There's so much work to do at home, and it's all thanks to them. Otherwise, why would we let her drag her precious body to do it?

"Little..." Zhou Rong wanted to say something, but Yun Shaojie stopped her. It's good to separate the family. After separating, maybe she can eat better and won't have to put up with the Yun family's rudeness.

"Milk……"

"Don't call me. How have I treated you three? I've provided you with food, drink, clothes, and everything else. Your father has only been gone a short time, and you three are already bullying an old woman like me. Now, before I've even had a few days of enjoyment, you want to divide the family property. This is unfilial!"

Yun Luo stared at her coldly, wishing a bolt of lightning would strike her dead.

She narrowed her eyes to slits. "Fine, to put it bluntly, the money was for the family's use. Now that I'm married, I'm a member of the Qin family, and it has nothing to do with the Yun family anymore. As for returning the money, even if I wanted to, Brother Qin wouldn't agree..."

"The matter of money has nothing to do with me!" Qin Zheng said cooperatively.

Liu Hehua's temples throbbed. Why didn't she just blame Yun Luo? Why did she say the money was for the family?

She received the money and used it herself. Yunluo has married out again. If the Wang family doesn't ask her for the money, who else can they ask?

She felt that she had been fooled by Yun Luo, that little vixen.

"Of course, if Grandma Yun can agree to Xiao Luo's request, I can return the twenty taels of silver for Xiao Luo's sake. Otherwise, I don't need to get involved," Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.

Originally, whoever used the money should repay it, but now Qin Zheng and his wife have only made this one request and have taken on a huge repayment, which is already a very filial act.

After all, many families in the village never earn twenty taels of silver in their entire lives.

It is perfectly normal for a daughter-in-law to separate from her husband's family.

The steward, Wang, was exasperated by the messy affairs of the Yun family and said impatiently, "Alright, have you all decided who will pay us back the money?"

"They also!" Liu Hehua immediately pointed at Yun Luo and Qin Zheng.

Yun Luo gave a cold laugh, "So, Grandma means you agree to split up the family?"

“Let’s divide it!” Yunlai said again. “Village chief, be our witness.”

Now that things have come to this, if he doesn't clarify things, the villagers will criticize him to death. However, Yunluo has become much more cunning, and he almost doesn't recognize her anymore.

Steward Wang was losing his patience and sneered, "I can't stop you from splitting up the family. Give me back the money, and I'm leaving."

What a mess.

Qin Zheng glanced at Xiao Zhengshan, who sighed and said helplessly, "Steward Wang, the Qin family is having a hard time. Look, why don't you give them some more time? Even if you force them to their deaths now, they can't do anything about it."

Butler Wang thought to himself that he couldn't afford to lose face and cause a big fuss, ruining the reputation of the Wang family. If he went back, his master would surely kill him. Weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and agreed, "Alright, one month. I need to see the money and write an IOU."

Xiao Zhengshan brought out paper and pen, and with both parties as witnesses, wrote an IOU, signed their names, and pressed their fingerprints.

Yunlu noticed that Qin Zheng's hand holding the pen was exceptionally strong, and the characters he wrote were vigorous and powerful, which was not something he had mastered overnight.

She was somewhat surprised. How could Brother Qin write? And write so well?
