Even in a famine, there's no panic; the eldest sister has stockpiled plenty of money and grain.

"What are you howling about now? Hurry up and hand over the money."

Jiang Minchang shouted, and Wang Shi dared not delay. She cursed inwardly, took the silver, went out, and returned it to Aunt Chen.

"Humph, I guess you are sensible."

Seeing Wang's face, which looked as if her parents had died, Aunt Chen rolled her eyes in disgust, took the silver and stuffed it into her purse. Aunt Chen then sat down on the chair that the thugs had brought over, imitating how the mistress of the house scolded the servants.

"Now that you've returned my money, let's settle the score for injuring me."

Wang was already feeling sorry for him, and upon hearing this, she plopped down on the ground and wailed, "This is outrageous! When did I hurt you? It was clearly that bitch Jiang Lu who did it! If you want money for medicine, go find her! Why are you coming to me?"

Wang was extremely aggrieved; her hand hadn't even healed yet, and now Aunt Chen was trying to get money from her for the medicine.

She didn't hit the person, so why should she pay compensation?

The more Wang thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't afford to lose the money. If all else failed, she would use the two maids to pay off the debt.

Fortunately, the old woman has some capable men with her; they might be able to subdue Jiang Bai, snatch back the household registration documents, and sell the two of them.

By then, won't the land and house belonging to the third son's family all be theirs?

While she was still thinking about not taking the blame, Wang had already come up with the idea of ​​having Aunt Chen arrest the Jiang and Bai sisters to pay off their debts.

"Jiang Lü? Is that your little granddaughter?" Granny Chen was a little surprised. After all, she had been hit on the back of the head with a stick and was unconscious for several days. The force was not like that of a little girl who had not grown up.

That's why she thought it was Wang who did it to steal her money.

Her eyes flickered, and as she thought of the important person above her, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"It's her, it's definitely her." Madam Wang nodded repeatedly. "Go find that brat, she won't be making me pay for anything."

"Ha, I was beaten when I was walking with you. I didn't even see anyone. Who knows if it was you, old woman, who knocked me unconscious when I wasn't paying attention, and now you want to blame it on your granddaughter."

"That's your granddaughter. If you don't order her around, why would she lay a hand on me?"

Aunt Chen had her own plans and never mentioned causing trouble for Jiang Lü.

"Anyway, I was injured along with you, and I only saw you. As for the medicine today, it's your granddaughter anyway. Whether she hit you or you hit her, you're going to pay for the medicine."

Now the people in the Jiang family's old house realized that the person in front of them was the matchmaker who wanted to buy the Jiang sisters. When Wang returned, she said that her hand had been injured, but she didn't mention at all that the matchmaker had also been beaten. The grandchildren left at home couldn't help but give her a reproachful look.

The main problem was that they were beaten up again for no reason.

When she noticed the reproachful looks from her grandsons, Wang felt a chill run down her spine.

"How much silver do you want?" Circumstances were beyond her control, and her children and grandchildren were not helping her, so Wang could only clutch her chest and ask.

Aunt Chen was very pleased with her sensible manner and raised her index finger to indicate it.

"Ten taels? Why don't you just rob me? I only hit you once, did you take medicine made of gold? How come it costs ten taels of silver?" Madam Wang couldn't help but curse.

What precious body of hers? Just because she was hit, she has to pay ten taels for medicine?

"Either you pay money, or you pay with your son. I think your little grandson is quite good-looking; he could be given away as someone's son and be worth a lot of money."

Aunt Chen was determined to pay compensation today, whether it was money or people, she had to come up with it.

"No."

Liu was watching the show from the sidelines when she saw the matchmaker eyeing her son. She immediately stepped forward, hugged her son, and hid behind Jiang Songzong, who had just stood up.

She held the child tightly, fearing that her grandmother would take her son to pay off her debts.

Jiang Songzong only has one son, so of course he wouldn't use him to pay off debts.

"Ma'am, the one who hit me is my third uncle's cousin. If you want compensation, you should ask her. Even if you want to use someone to pay off a debt, you should use her, not our child."

He may not have been a good husband to his wife, but he was definitely a good father to his son.

He couldn't sit still when he heard that his son was to be used to pay off the debt.

Aunt Chen had assumed the little boy was Wang's grandson, but it turned out to be her great-grandson. Fortunately, the boy wasn't her original target, so she went along with it and said, "Ha, you make it sound nice, but I haven't even seen him, how would I know if what you're saying is true or false?"

"Besides, I would never do something like forcibly abducting a woman."

"Since you say it was your granddaughter who did it, then hand her over to me. Two little girls can barely cover my medical bills."

Hand them over?

Who can produce it?

Now, that damned Jiang Bai has taken those two little brats, Jiang Lu, somewhere. There's not a soul in their house.

"Alright, we'll hand over the person, but we need you to give us some time."

Jiang Minchang could see clearly that Aunt Chen was determined to stick to her story. When Da Sun was speaking, he saw the two men glaring at him with their fierce eyes. This matter would not be resolved peacefully without compensation.

Moreover, since Aunt Chen mentioned bringing people as collateral twice, she probably already had her eye on those two girls.

That's true. If I hadn't taken a liking to her, I wouldn't have been able to go to the government office to sign a contract and transfer her registration just because I saw her.

"Three days. I'll give you three days at most. Either give the person or give me the money, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Aunt Chen stood up and glared coldly at Wang.

That old hag, can't she handle her? Right now, she still has to obediently pay back her money, and she can't escape the cost of her medicine either.

After seeing Aunt Chen off, Wang Shi sat down on the ground and refused to get up, crying loudly.

"Why are you crying again, you old woman?"

"I'll cry, I'll cry, I love to cry, what's it to you?" Wang was kicked by her husband, complained about by her grandsons, and lost her money. She was furious.

"Who told you to take someone else's money? Now they're coming to our door looking for you."

Jiang Minchang flung his sleeves and went into the house, completely ignoring Wang Shi, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"Grandma, get up quickly."

Jiang Qian's eyes lit up, and she rushed forward to help Wang Shi up. Her two granddaughters-in-law also busied themselves serving tea and water.

"Cui'er, I remember you have a cousin from Qianshan Village?"

Upon seeing Jiang Qian, Wang remembered what she had said.

Thinking of the ten taels of silver she had lost, she was even more furious. She had said she had forgotten something, but it turned out she had forgotten that when that brat Jiang Bai dressed up as a ghost to scare her, she had asked where Song Shi's money for selling herself was. It was all her fault; she had only thought to touch it today. That girl must have already stolen the silver.

"Yes, Grandma."

"Go to Qianshan Village and find out what your third aunt said to that brat Jiang Bai."

"Okay, Grandma."

Zhang Cui ran out quickly, also curious about who the person who had proposed marriage to Jiang Bai was.

Meanwhile, Aunt Chen, accompanied by two thugs, glanced inside Jiang Bai's house as they passed by.

The iron gate hangs on the door, firmly locking it, and no one knows where the owner inside has gone.

"Humph."

He gave a soft hum and turned to walk towards the county town.

After they left, a figure emerged from the side, frowning as he watched them depart.
