But if the big house sells the farm and shops, what will this family eat and drink?

Xi Tongfang said, "This matter is actually not a solution. It's August. In another month, the grain from the farm can be collected. There are a lot of farms in the big houses. At that time, the grain collected can be sold for more than 2,000 taels of silver. With the profits of the shop in the past two months, by the end of September, you can get enough of these five thousand taels of silver. The remaining three thousand taels will be produced. The tea shop can just produce a batch of autumn tea, so that the tea farmers can pick more, stir-fry them, and sell them at a cheaper price. If you make up, you can get the eight thousand taels of silver."

In the end, although Xi Tongfang did not agree to help pay off the debt, he still came up with an idea.

"Am I and Zou have a good discussion. This money will be more than a month later."

At this moment, Cheng stopped crying or playing tricks.

Because, she could see that no matter how she cried, was stingy, or pretended to be pitiful, the concubine would not be soft-hearted and helped her pay off the debt.

And she couldn't really go to the yamen to sue the house for unfilial piety.

Because the concubine's son did not sell the land shop to help her pay her debt, he went to sue him for being unfilial. This matter was unreasonable. Besides, Cheng Yuankai had a grudge against her big house. If she really wanted to sue her, maybe Cheng Yuankai would not only not convict Xi Tongfang, but would instead be seized by him and say that she falsely accused and beat her up.

How can she survive her old bones?

After thinking about it, Cheng could only help but suppress his unwillingness and sent someone to find Zou to discuss the return of money with her.

Zou urgently used the money, but after disagreeing, he proposed to pay it back a month later, so he proposed to use the land to pay off the debt.

The grain in the farm was about to be harvested, and it turned into a generous sum of silver. Using this money was enough to pay half of the debt, so Cheng naturally couldn't bear to spend the farm.

What's more, the farm in the Xi family's big house is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. How could it be given to Zou's family cheaply? Cheng firmly disagreed.

The two women failed to discuss and then went to the yamen court again.

However, this time, Cheng Yuankai did not help Zou, but instead helped Cheng and agreed to return the money from Zou at the end of September.

Zou glared at Cheng several times in anger, but he didn't dare to make trouble in the yamen court again.

Until Cheng left, Zou went to find Mrs. Cheng, and complained to her with grievance and tactfulness.

But how could Zou know that the reason why Cheng Yuankai helped Cheng was because that farm had long been regarded as a thing in his pocket.

There was also a document between him and Xi Tonglin.

At the beginning, Xi Tonglin borrowed him 5,000 taels of silver and signed a document with him as an IOU. The document stated that if Xi Tonglin had not paid the silver for a year, he would use the farm to pay off the debt. The farm was in a good terrain and only relied on a river to avoid worrying about water. Even if it rained heavily, it would not be flooded. It was the best good land in Hangzhou City.

This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Yuankai would have been sentenced to Tong Lin for 30 years in prison.

Xi Tonglin is in prison, so he will definitely not be able to pay the money back. By then, that farm will not be his.

Sanning Lane.

Xi Feng and A Niang and Brother were all waiting for Xi Tongfang to have supper. After waiting for most of the hour, Xi Tong finally came back.
