After Yan Shu, Jiang Ci and others left the old house, Wang Dahua sat down on the ground and began to howl.

"That's 25 taels, and you just gave it away? Why don't you, an old guy, think of a way?"

Yan Tieniu glared at her with a sullen face.

"The village chief and the seventh uncle have already talked about it. What do you want me to do? It's all your fault, you damn old woman. Why did you sell the fourth girl to the brothel?"

"What's wrong with her being a widow selling a brothel? With her charming looks, she should go to a place like that to make money for us!"

Yan Tieniu pointed at her nose angrily and scolded: "Idiot, last time we sold four girls to a wedding, Ersheng's family was already separated from us. If you really succeed in selling her to a brothel this time, what do you think Ersheng's boys are?" Will I spare you?"

"What's going on? I'm their breast, and they can still beat me?"

"Hmph, even Yan Wu, that unruly man, could kill you."

Wang Dahua thought of Yan Wu's captivating eyes when he stared at her, and immediately shut up.

Yan Peng said with a cold face: "Master, grandma, things have already happened. What's the point of you arguing? You'd better think of a way to solve it."

"Brother Peng, you study a lot and your brain is very useful. Please think of a way to get back those 25 taels of silver?"

Yan Peng frowned, he also wanted to come back, but the money went into the pockets of the second room and his family, and they would definitely not return it easily.

"Isn't it just 25 taels of silver? Let Yan Wu and Yan Huai go to the mountain a few more times, and maybe they can earn it back."

Yan Tieniu and Wang Dahua's turbid eyes both lit up.

Yes, they have not separated their families, and the money earned by the second wife from now on will have to be paid to the public servant.

Er Sheng and Yan Wen are dead, and there are still two little beasts, Yan Wu and Yan Huai.

A hint of calculation flashed in Yan Peng's eyes.

He and Jiang Ci were studying at Hongle Academy together, but they didn't know each other before. He had heard a lot about Jiang Ci.

Many people say that he is extremely smart and talented, but he is cold and distant and not an easy person to get along with.

He suspected that he was the one behind the second wife's plan this time.

"Nai, don't go to the second house to cause trouble in the past few days. It's not too late to wait until Yan Shu and Jiang Erlang leave before taking action."

"Daughter, I never dreamed that I could get so much money from Mr. Wang."

After Liu Wenniang returned home, she looked at her daughter with a sigh on her face.

In the past, whenever Wang saw Yan Ersheng coming back from hunting, she would urge him to hand over the money. It was almost impossible to get money from Wang.

She really never dreamed that there would be such a day to relieve her anger.

"Mom, you and dad were trapped by foolish filial piety before. You know clearly that the Wang family is partial to the Dafang family, and you should have fought for your rights a long time ago."

Thinking of the grievances she had suffered for more than 20 years, Liu Wenniang's eyes felt sour.

"You're right. Before, I always thought that they were the elders and that we, the younger generation, should be filial. It wasn't until you were sold to them for a happy occasion that Mom realized that blindly forbearing would only make them bully you even more."

Yan Shu took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears from Liu Wenniang's eyes.

"My daughter is now married and cannot stay with you for a long time. Wang has suffered a lot at our hands these two times. She will definitely come to look for trouble in the future. You need to take precautions."

"Mom has also guessed that Wang is not a master who is willing to suffer losses. Stealing her money will undoubtedly cost her life. I guess she will find a way to get it back."

Yan Shu thought for a while.

"Mom, how about using today's 25 taels of silver to buy food?"

Liu Wenniang frowned: "We only have such a small space in our house. If we put a lot of food, it would be too conspicuous. If the Wang family comes to rob it, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her."

"Give me the money and I will buy it. The food will be temporarily stored in the Jiang family."

Liu Wenniang thought about it carefully. Her second brother and Wen'er no longer had to go to the doctor, so the family would have less money to spend. The ten taels of silver left in her hand were enough to feed the family for two years.

"Daughter, why do you have to buy food? I'm afraid that buying too much food will spoil it."

"Yesterday we went to the town and found that the price of grain has risen sharply recently. We heard that a large number of grain merchants are hoarding grain. It seems that the weather this year will hardly rain for a while, and the grain in the ground is probably going to die from drought. In the future, Just in case, we need to prepare early."

Liu Wenniang no longer hesitated after hearing this.

"Okay, let's buy food."

-

In the next few days, there was no movement at all from the main house.

Yan Shu knew in his heart that if she stayed at her parents' house, they would not cause trouble again.

Recently, she personally cooked several medicinal meals to nourish the body. She added spiritual spring water and ginseng from the space to the medicinal meals, and Yan Ersheng and Yan Wen's health improved visibly.

Watching them gradually recover, the family is very happy.

Yan Shu would go for a walk in the mountains when he had nothing to do. Every day he would carry a basket of herbs back to dry in the yard, in order to find an excuse for the bottle of detoxification pills.

During this period, I met Yan Yao twice by the river.

Yan Yao would always come up to greet her with a smile, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

I have to say that Yan Yao is worthy of being a woman who wants to be a queen, and her patience is truly top-notch.

This morning, after Yan Shu had his morning meal, he was ready to go to the town.

This time she didn't want Yan Wu and Yan Huai to follow her. Firstly, she wanted to deliver Liuwei Dihuang Pills to Xiangchunlou. Secondly, she and Jiang Ci were going back to Qingjiu Village tomorrow and wanted to get some things from the space before leaving. Next, these things need to be cleared up.

When the family heard that she wanted to go to town by herself, they naturally voted against it.

Liu Wenniang persuaded her earnestly: "Shur, it's not safe for you as a girl to go alone, so you should let your second and third brothers follow you."

"That's right, little sister, let your second brother follow you. I'm strong and can help you carry things."

Yan Ersheng also said: "Let your second brother go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart to take you there. If you want to go by yourself, dad will not agree!"

Yan Shu rolled his eyes helplessly. Being so well protected is a sweet burden.

"I'll go with my sister-in-law. I just have to go to town for a follow-up consultation."

Jiang Ci opened his mouth and Yan Shu's eyes brightened slightly.

"My uncle will accompany me, so my eldest and second brothers don't have to accompany me."

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu indifferently and vaguely guessed her purpose of going to the town.

In this way, Jiang Ci and Yan Shu left the house.

This time I didn’t borrow the ox cart from the village chief’s family. Every morning there was a ox cart at the entrance of the village that specially pulled people to the town. Each person paid a penny.

They arrived late and the car was almost full.

When the two of them came, all eyes in the car turned towards her.

"Fourth girl, are you going to town again?" a woman over fifty asked with a smile.

"Yes, Aunt Li, do you want to go shopping too?"

"Hey, I found a job in the town as a starch and laundry worker. I have to go to my employer's house to work every day."

While chatting, Yan Shu's eyes swept across the crowd, and his eyes were fixed on the crowd for a moment.
