A master of metaphysics is farming.

After Xiang Wenxuan finished reading the family division document, Xiang Dayong and Xiang Laosi pressed their fingerprints on the document. Only then did Li Shi slowly come out, clutching the copper coins wrapped in rags. She reluctantly walked up to Xiang Dayong and refused to hand over the copper coins.

Seeing her dawdling, Xiang He stepped forward, snatched the book, and started counting.

Seeing Xiang He's posture, Li's ugly face reappeared, and she reached out to snatch the copper coins back, saying, "Do you think I'd shortchange you!"

Madam Su felt this was inappropriate and quickly reached out to press down her hand, "He'er, is that alright...?"

Xiang He dodged Li's hand, not forgetting to reassure Su, "Mother, you should know what she values ​​most. Master said one hundred coins, not a single coin less!"

This was money she had worked hard to earn by battling this miser, and she absolutely couldn't lose it!

She still has to survive in this ancient world!

Su tried to stop her, but Xiang Dayong grabbed her wrist, saying, "Let her be..."

Now, one of the three brothers' families is disabled, Su is frail and has two young children. Tonight, it was only through He'er's efforts that the family was able to separate. Although it is unknown why her personality has changed so drastically, she should leave this family now.

Seeing Xiang He recount the details with such detail, Li Shi was so angry she gritted her teeth. "Do you think I'll let you down?!"

"Who knows?" She kept counting with great enthusiasm, and soon put the coins on the ground. "Grandpa, why don't you count them? We're short more than twenty coins!"

The voice wasn't loud, but everyone was watching. Xiang Lao Si's face turned green, and he scolded Li Shi, "What time is it? Finish it!"

Given Li's stinginess, Xiang He had long guessed that she would take the opportunity to falsify something.

Li gritted her teeth secretly, refusing to budge, and spread her hands, saying, "We really don't have that much at home, we'll owe you for now."

Anyone with eyes could see through her little trick. Xiang He simply stretched out her foot to pull up a small stool and sat down. "You might not have copper coins, but you must have silver, right? You don't need to put your little bit of money in a money shop. If you have too much silver, I'll make it up to you later, how about that?"

"impossible!"

She would be so heartbroken to give even a single extra coin to someone else that she'd want to throw a tantrum on the ground, let alone give one to those money-losing brats from the third son's family.

Xiang Lao Si looked annoyed and said, "I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Xiang He was not happy about it. She put her hands on her hips and imitated Li Shi's tantrum. "Anyway, you have to give us everything tonight. You can ask your uncle's family for twenty-odd coins. They seem to be quite rich. Let them pay first."

Yu's bloated figure clearly showed she had been eating a lot of good food. Her uncle, Xiang Daqiang, had a robust physique that wasn't the result of exercise, not to mention Xiang Lianhua's delicate skin and tender flesh; they must have been hiding money.

The conversation turned to Xiang Daqiang, whose back suddenly hunched over. He was a tall and strong man, but now he stood behind Yu Shi as if he were hiding, which was pathetic.

Madam Yu immediately adopted a haughty demeanor, tilting her head back and saying with her nose in the air, "We don't have any. All the silver and copper coins are with Mother!"

"I don't think so, do I? Look how well you're eating. You must be sneaking food in the house all the time, right?"

Li, who hadn't paid much attention at first, seemed to realize something, and immediately turned her ugly face to Yu, "So that's why you're always hiding in your room, you're hiding away to steal food! Hand it over right now!"

Xiang He was also exasperated by this old woman; all she talked about was money, and she would eventually be ruined by money.

Madam Yu shook her head repeatedly, "Mother, don't listen to that wretched girl's nonsense, we really don't have any! Daqiang's daily wages are all handed over to you, and I don't have my sister-in-law's skills in needlework, so where would I get copper coins?"

She stepped aside to make room for her, pointing to her door, "If you don't believe me, go in and look for it yourself. If you find even half a copper coin, I'll immediately kowtow and apologize to you!"

This was said with such confidence that it was clear the person knew the Li family would never find the hidden money.

Xiang He crossed her arms and watched the two of them argue. Anyway, she was determined to get back the remaining twenty-odd coins; she couldn't let Li Shi gain even the slightest advantage.

Seeing that even dividing the family property was causing such a fuss, Xiang Lao Si kicked away the broken bench beside him, shouting, "Old woman, go get it!"

Li was startled. The bench was sliding towards her, and seeing that Xiang Lao Si's neck was red with anger, she immediately dared not linger any longer. She quickly bent down to pick up the copper coins on the ground and hurried back into the house.

Seeing her disheveled figure, Xiang He's eyes sneered even more.

Xiang Yang tugged at Xiang He's sleeve, turned around and saw that he looked strange. He shook his head slightly to reassure him, and gave the couple a reassuring look.

Then she turned to look at Xiang Lao Si and said, "By the way, Grandpa, it's getting a bit chilly in the autumn. Could you take two quilts with you? My father is badly injured and can't afford to catch a cold."

Once they leave this gate, they have to find a place to rest on their own. Without blankets to keep warm at night, they are prone to developing illnesses.

Xiang Lao Si nodded slightly. Asking for a quilt wasn't a difficult thing, especially in front of the villagers. If he couldn't even give away a few quilts, he would seem cold-blooded and stingy.

"Take everything from your room."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Xiang He smiled and turned around, waving her hand. "Xiao Yang, Xiao Yun, get ready!"

Before Xiangyang and Xiangyun could even be happy, they turned around and ran inside to tidy up.

Seeing that they were all busy, Madam Yu hurried to the kitchen, wishing she could kick them out of the house immediately. It would be much better if the family received less wealth in the future!

After all that trouble, Xiang He finally got a string of 100 copper coins, a small sack of two catties of rice, and as for the three chickens, Xiang He turned his head to look at the chicken coop.

This family wasn't exactly poor; they had over a dozen chickens, laying countless eggs every day. However, Li Shi was very careful with their eggs, and the three brothers' family couldn't afford to eat even one egg a month.

Seeing Xiang He staring at the chicken coop, Li quickly ran over to block her way, "What? We agreed on three chickens, are you trying to take more?"

"How could that be? Please give it to me, so I won't worry that I've taken more than my share."

Xiang Lao Si saw through Li Shi's thoughts at a glance, and his tone gradually became serious, "One hen, two roosters."

"You old man!" Li was so angry that her teeth itched, but she could only curse and do as she was told.

She didn't want to give the hen any money at all. Tonight had been so infuriating, and she had even lost the twenty taels of silver she had earned. Right now, she was just unhappy that the third son's family was doing well, and she wished she could die outside!

Even though Lao Si had spoken to them, they didn't dare to do anything more.

Xiang He reached out and took the three chickens that Li Shi reluctantly handed over, a smug look on her face as she tilted her head back. "Grandpa and Grandma, we'll be seeing each other all the time from now on. It's good to treat each other with respect. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary, so we can all live peacefully. I'm leaving now."

Xiang Lao Si's face turned red and then purple. This girl's words tonight were too offensive!

As they watched the family of five walk out the door, Li and her eldest son immediately relaxed a lot.

Just as they were all relaxing, Xiang He suddenly stopped, turned around with a half-smirk, and casually glanced at Xiang Lianhua. "There's something I forgot. You all remember what the matchmaker said, right?"

This statement immediately piqued the curiosity of the villagers.

The first one to be affected was Fourth Aunt, who was the most talkative woman in the village. Several nearby villages depended on her mouth to keep them together.

"I almost forgot about that!"

As Xiang He and his companions walked forward, a cacophony of noise followed them, and they could still faintly hear Li Shi cursing the third son's family.

"Uncle and Aunt, please wait a moment!"

The group, carrying blankets, turned around and saw Wenxuan helping the village chief walk towards them. The village chief's initially unfriendly expression softened as he looked at the family. "Where do you plan to rest?"

Xiang He looked out at a large flat area in the distance. "Isn't there a thatched hut that's been empty for a long time on the small dam near the land we want? Can we stay there?"

Looking around, it was impossible to see anything clearly. The village chief nodded and said, "If you need anything, just come to the front of the house and say so. Since you've already separated the family, don't keep going over there to bother the other family."

Everyone knew which family the village chief was referring to. Xiang He smiled, her eyebrows curving but her eyes not reaching her eyes, and said, "Okay."
