Seeing Fu Xiuye's appearance, Zhang Dagen immediately felt relieved.

He let go of her hand and said, "Look, although the He brothers are crippled now, they still have a family fortune."

"I think this marriage proposal we discussed before can still continue, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Fu Xiuye's face.

"But……"

Her older brother is at home. If the He family had been doing well before, there might have been a chance if she went to speak to them.

But given the current situation of the He family, how could the eldest brother possibly marry his second sister into the He family?

Zhang Dagen naturally knew that this matter would be difficult, but when he thought of the cold look in He Laosi's eyes before he left, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"But what? Do you want to be a widow?"

Zhang Dagen glared, his face full of ferocity, which made Fu Xiuye ​​immediately shrink back.

“Dagen, as you know, my older brother is a retired soldier. If he really doesn’t agree, there’s no room for negotiation.”

Fu Xiuye ​​was afraid that Zhang Dagen would beat her again, so she quickly voiced her concerns.

"Tsk, this won't work, that won't work, what should we do? Do you want me to be beaten to death by the four He brothers, or do you want me to find a way to pay back ten yuan to the He family?"

Zhang Dagen paced back and forth irritably for a few steps, then said fiercely to Fu Xiuye.

Seeing Zhang Dagen's agitated expression, Fu Xiuye ​​felt anxious and scared. Her mind raced, her eyes darting around, and then she came up with a solution.

"...That's a great idea!"

When Zhang Dagen heard Fu Xiuye ​​whisper the method in his ear, his eyes lit up instantly.

He clapped his hands together forcefully, then smacked his lips twice.

He turned to Old Lady Zhang and shouted, "Mom, give me five yuan, I need to go to the county town."

Old Mrs. Zhang saw her son and daughter-in-law whispering to each other. She strained her ears but couldn't hear a word they were saying.

After the jinx whispered something in her son's ear, her son actually turned around and asked her for money.

Old Mrs. Zhang's face immediately fell, and she refused firmly with a stern expression: "No, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you."

Zhang Dagen had just gotten a good idea from his wife, but unexpectedly, his own mother didn't understand it at all.

His face darkened instantly, but remembering that he had no money, he couldn't help but step forward and try to ingratiate himself with Old Lady Zhang.

But Old Lady Zhang wouldn't give him any face at all; she said she had no money, but he could take her life.

Enraged, Zhang Dagen stormed out of the house. His wife was also furious, feeling that her son had fallen out of love with her because of that jinx.

She glared fiercely at Fu Xiuye, clutched her chest where she was panting heavily, and twisted her waist to go back to her room to rest.

Zhang Dagen was so angry that he slammed the door and left, then he wanted to borrow some money.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he not only didn't borrow money, but also encountered several people asking him for money back.

After all, borrowed money has to be repaid.

In the end, having no other choice, Zhang Dagen could only slink back home.

Thinking that as long as he went to the county town this time, and succeeded as Xiuye ​​said, money would not be a problem at all.

After thinking it over, Zhang Dagen quietly pushed open Old Lady Zhang's door. Originally, he planned to pester Old Lady Zhang a little more, trying to get as much money out of her as possible.

Once inside, they heard loud snoring coming from inside.

It turns out that Old Mrs. Zhang is quite old; she wakes up easily in the morning, but falls asleep quickly after lying down during the day!
