Facing the aggressive approach, Xia Qianqian calmed down.

She didn't have much memory about falling into the water that day. When she thought about it carefully, a vague figure appeared in front of her eyes.

It's a pity that the picture is fragmented, like a piece of frosted glass, and can't be seen clearly at all.

After some calculations in her heart, Xia Qianqian smiled faintly: "My mother said that I was found lying by the river by a passerby, and I was called in time to save my life."

"What?"

When Zhang Cuicui heard this, she immediately refused, "If it hadn't been for your mother's begging, my man would have risked going to the undercurrent area in order to search and rescue you. Hahaha, you stinky girl, you saved a life, are you planning to default on the debt?"

While speaking, Zhang Cuicui had a ferocious look on her face. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward, trying to pull out Xia Qianqian's hair.

With a stern look in her eyes, Xia Qianqian tightened her grip on the blade in her hand.

If she dares to take action, she will never show weakness.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Li Yunniang, who had returned home, pushed aside the crowd and pounced on her.

The thin body seemed to be injected with all kinds of divine power at this time, and it was pushed forward.

Zhang Cuicui did not expect her attack. She stumbled, her body was unsteady and tilted to the side. Her hand that grabbed Xia Qianqian's hair missed.

"Aunt Zhang, if something happens, tell me, the child is sick and can't stand the trouble."

Li Yunniang protected Xia Qianqian behind her, opening her arms like a hen protecting her chicks, but her tight back betrayed her.

She is really too nervous.

Zhang Cuicui's majesty was provoked, she stood firm and cursed loudly: "You ungrateful fox, my man is still lying on the kang in order to save your daughter, waiting for Yinzi to see a doctor and get medicine, and now you dare to push me."<

/p>

She blushed, pointed at Li Yunniang's face, and said harshly: "See if I don't tear your coquettish fox face to pieces."

Zhang Cuicui is aggressive, while Li Yunniang is weak-tempered, and she can't even gain half the upper hand in words.

If she takes action later, Li Yunniang will not get any benefit at all.

Xia Qianqian stared at Li Yunniang's slightly trembling back, and something in her heart was suddenly touched.

In that life, when she was eighteen, her parents died in a car accident.

She hasn't had this feeling of being protected in her mother's arms for a long, long time.

"Are you sure that ten taels of silver is enough?"

Stretching her legs and taking a step forward, she stood in front of Li Yunniang and said a word lightly.

Suddenly, the noisy crowd silenced.

Everyone looked at her again and again, murmuring in their hearts.

What is this girl going to do? She’s not going to be stupid, is she?

Zhang Cuicui came back to her senses, squinted her eyes, and said fiercely: "My body has been damaged. Some of the decoctions used for recovery are good and some are cheap. I think they are all cheap."

Why don't you include ginseng, abalone, snow lotus, etc.? It's really inconsiderate.

Xia Qianqian sneered and took a step forward, "Your man suffered so much in order to save me, so I will naturally compensate him. However, the compensation must be put down in black and white on the paper before it can be counted."

As soon as she said this, Li Yunniang grabbed Xia Qianqian's hand and shook her head, "Qianqian, don't do this nonsense. How can we afford ten taels of silver?"

The surrounding melon-eating people also sighed.

The silly girl of the Xia family has gained courage after walking in front of the Palace of Hell, but her brain is still not working well.

Sell ​​this shabby yard together with the mother and son, it's not even worth ten taels of silver.

What's more...

Li Yunniang suffered from illness all year round and sold herself into slavery. It is estimated that not many families would be willing to take her.

Yuanbao is a six-year-old boy who can't do any work, but just has an extra mouth to eat. No one would be stupid to buy him.

Only Xia Qianqian, an eighteen-year-old girl, is physically weaker and mentally stupid, but fortunately her appearance is not bad. She may be sold to a wealthy family as a slave or a concubine, or to a brothel, and maybe she can get some money.

But...

She has been mentally retarded since she was a child and has been crazy. It is estimated that even a wealthy family would not want her as a concubine.

For a family of three, an orphan and a widower, to find a way to come up with ten taels of silver is simply impossible.

For this kind of thing, others will come and bite you. You can hide if you can, and rely on it if you can. Once the black and white words fall on the paper, it will be iron-clad and there is no way to escape this debt.

When Zhang Cuicui heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly came up with an idea: "If you can't afford the money, you can use the land by the river to pay for it."

She has been interested in that piece of land for a long time.

Li Yunniang shook her head like a rattle and pulled Xia Qianqian's arm. Tears began to well up in her eyes, "Qianqian, your father purchased that piece of land. He is gone. The three of us rely entirely on that piece of land for a year's rations. Without it,

We will starve to death."

"Mother" Yuanbao squeezed through the crowd, and his anger aroused his desire for protection.

He picked up the broom next to the door, used it as a weapon, and said fiercely at Zhang Cuicui: "No one is allowed to bully my mother."

Being provoked, Zhang Cuicui strode over, waved her big palm, pointed it at Yuan Bao's face, and started to slap her down, "What are you doing, little bastard? Look, I won't deal with you today."

"Stop, do you want money, or do you want to fight with us?" Xia Qianqian held the ingot in her arms and asked sternly.

After being yelled at by the little girl, Zhang Cuicui suddenly woke up.

After a fight, the money was gone, so she suffered a big loss.

Zhang Cuicui stopped her hand in time, but the anger in her heart always wanted to be released, "You brat, just wait."

He turned around and glared at Xia Qianqian, "What do you think we should do?"

When Xia Qianqian was about to speak, Li Yunniang took her hand and shook her head.

Putting the ingot into her arms, Xia Qianqian looked back, their eyes met, and she said seriously: "Mom, do you believe me?"

Do you believe it?

Li Yunniang raised her eyes and saw the bright luster and determination in the eyes of the girl so close, which made her mind tremble slightly.

"Trust me and just listen to me. Don't worry."

Xia Qianqian turned around, glanced around, and looked down at Zhang Cuicui, "With the witness of many villagers, we asked the village chief to write a mediation letter on his behalf."

The old village chief of Fu'an Village is named Xu Jiang, a dry old man.

After being nominated, he walked forward with his right foot lame, glared at Zhang Cuicui, and his eyes slowly fell on Xia Qianqian, "Did you know that if you leave the receipt and cause trouble in the government office, you will pay back the money."<

/p>

"I understand."

Xia Qianqian raised her hands and bowed to Xu Jiang, "That day I fell into the water. Thanks to the villagers who searched along the river, they protected me. I, Xia Qianqian, will remember this love and kindness in my heart. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Everyone had mixed feelings, but Zhang Cuicui on the side couldn't wait any longer. She turned around and looked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, moved a broken table from her house, and urged: "Village chief, hurry up and start writing!"

"Please write as I say."

Xia Qianqian thought for a while and then said: "I, Xia Qianqian, accidentally fell into the water on March 11th. Zhang Dakui relied on his extraordinary courage to row a boat alone into the undercurrent area at night to rescue him. His spirit is valuable. Now.

Regarding Zhang Dakui’s medical expenses, lost work expenses, and ship repair and network repair expenses, I, Xia Qianqian, voluntarily compensated ten taels of silver as a thank you for the rescue. The money was clearly delivered half a month later, and the money was written as evidence."

Half a month?

Ten taels of silver?

Is this child going crazy after losing his mind?

Everyone sighed inwardly.

Xu Jiang was a little hesitant, but he was used to being a good guy, and the two parties had no objections, so he spread out the paper and wrote it down word for word.

The mediation letter was made in triplicate. Xia Qianqian, Zhang Cuicui and the village chief each kept one copy. They and Xu Jiang all pressed their fingerprints on it as a voucher.

Zhang Cuicui couldn't wait to grab the certificate, read it again and again, shook it at Li Yunniang, and said proudly: "Li Yunniang, if there is no money before the end of the month, the land deed will be ready."

With this guarantee, she didn't mind waiting for half a month.

After finishing her words, she smiled happily, turned around, twisted her waist and left.

Xu Jiang put away his brush, shook his head, feeling a little guilty, and turned around to urge everyone: "Let's all disperse."

After a while, the front door of the Xia family returned to its former purity.

Li Yunniang leaned against the door frame, her chest feeling tight with anger. She lowered her head and shed tears.

Zhang Cuicui has always been messy and messy in her work, and she has repeatedly tried to find excuses to take over the land.

What happened today will happen sooner or later.

And what can she do?

Xia Qianqian on the side put away the voucher, turned around and supported her, and warned: "Mom, it's getting dark and it's cold outside. You go back to the house and lie down first."
