Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 132: Lian Lao Si Threat
Xu Zhichun told this to Liang Lizheng, who also agreed with it.
"By the way, your family still has 52 taels of silver with me. Building a house will cost a lot of silver. This money——"
"You should keep this money for our family. I trust you with it. I have more than enough money in my hand."
Only then did Xu Zhichun realize how much silver his family had given to the head of the village.
Fifty-two taels was a lot of money, but it was far from enough to support a scholar. I imagine the original owner must have lived a tight life when he was still alive.
This matter still needs to be discussed with Liang Mingxuan. After all, it is their home and the child will definitely not refuse, but Xu Zhichun thinks he should tell it.
When I went into the city to close my stall, I stopped by to talk to him.
Liang Mingxuan certainly had no objection and nodded in agreement without even thinking, "Everything is up to you, sister-in-law. It will be built the way you want it to be. It would be best if the courtyard wall is built higher."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I thought so too. Don't worry, it will be well built!"
"Yeah." The eldest sister-in-law had her own ideas, so she didn't need him to tell her. But -
Liang Mingxuan looked up and said, "Sister-in-law, did something happen at home?"
Xu Zhichun hesitated.
Liang Mingxuan's heart tightened, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
"." Xu Zhichun didn't expect that the child was so perceptive. She just said she wanted to build a house, and he immediately thought that something was going to happen.
"Sister-in-law, tell me."
Xu Zhichun sighed secretly. It was hard not to say something.
The truth cannot be told; it can only rot in the stomach.
"My aunt, uncle, second aunt, and second uncle are forcing me to remarry. Don't worry, it's okay. The village head, fourth grandmother, and sixth uncle have already helped to solve the problem. They won't dare to do it again. So I thought of rebuilding our house properly, so that they can see that I don't need to remarry and we can live well, so that they will give up. Besides, it's better to keep the door closed when you are not at home."
Liang Mingxuan always felt that something didn't make sense, and it seemed that his sister-in-law was not telling him the truth.
But that's enough.
“They are so abominable, sister-in-law.”
Liang Mingxuan was a little discouraged. He was still too young.
"Sister-in-law, please work hard for a few more years. One day, I will definitely make you proud. When the time comes, if you want to remarry, I will be your mother's family and support you in everything!"
Xu Zhichun couldn't help but burst out laughing, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What are you thinking about, kid? My sister-in-law won't remarry."
"Sister-in-law."
"Just stay in the county school and don't worry, they can't bully my sister-in-law."
Building a house is not an easy task. Xu Zhichun plans to build a bigger one, so he needs to buy a residential plot first. Liang Lizheng has to go to the government office in the city to apply for the land deed and house deeds.
After that, the purchase of bricks, stones, tiles and wood, booking of doors and windows, booking of furniture, hiring of people, etc. must be arranged in advance.
Xu Zhichun didn't quite understand either, so she had to discuss it with Liang Lizheng and others. The Liang family helped with many things. As for the doors, windows and various furniture she needed, Qi Tian happened to be there. Qi Tian agreed readily and guaranteed to use the best wood for her.
Everything is being prepared in a low-key and orderly manner, just waiting for the day to start work.
Uncle Liang and the Zhang family were in dire straits.
Zhang's shameless plot against Xu Zhichun failed that day. She rushed into the house in a panic and was shocked to see Lian Lao Si rolling on the ground with his hands covering his eyes!
"Damn it! Get some water for me to wash my eyes! I'm going blind! Quick, quick!"
Lian Lao Si was wailing so hard that he was out of breath, and Zhang hurriedly fetched water.
Lian Lao Si had to wash with five basins of water before he could barely see. His eyes and face were so red that it was unbearable to look at. His eyes were still burning and stinging, and tears kept flowing.
Zhang was completely dumbfounded.
"How come you can't even control a woman?"
"Why didn't you tell me that little bitch was so cunning and vicious?"
The two of them blamed each other and had a quarrel.
Lian Lao Si's eyes were so painful that he said, "Just wait and see!" and left Liangjia Village angrily and stealthily like a thief.
That day, Xu Zhichun went to Liang Lizheng to complain crying. Zhang and her family were scolded and humiliated. It was so unlucky.
They didn't expect that four days later, Lian Lao Si came again.
Zhang's face darkened when she saw him, and she said unhappily, "You don't have to come. It's useless. That little bitch won't be fooled again."
Besides, Xu Zhichun had firmly vowed not to remarry, so she had no reason to talk to her about this matter now.
Lian Lao Si sneered sinisterly and walked straight into the house and sat down. "I came to see you."
"Get out! I told you it's over, don't you understand?"
Zhang was disgusted.
It was obvious that Lian Lao Si was not a good person. If it wasn't for the purpose of getting Xu Zhichun out, she would not have had anything to do with such a person.
Little do people know that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
How could it be so easy for Zhang to drive Lian Lao Si away?
Lian Lao Si: "No hope? Haha, I think there is a good chance. Anyway, you said you would find me a wife, aunt, I took it seriously, you can't go back on your word."
Zhang was so angry that she laughed: "Are you reasonable or not? I've already said it's over!"
"I don't care. You promised me that you must find me a wife."
Zhang was so angry that she couldn't even laugh anymore: "I owe you?"
Lian Lao Si actually nodded honestly and bluntly: "Yes."
"you--"
Zhang ran out, picked up a broom and started to chase them out: "Get out, get out! Don't come here again."
"How is that possible?" Lian Lao Si sneered: "I'm counting on Aunt to find me a wife, so I must visit her often."
"I've told you it's impossible, don't you understand?"
"I don't care. I just know that since my aunt has promised me, I have to keep my promise. Otherwise, I will tell everyone about what happened that day and say that it was my aunt who asked me to do it."
"What did you say?"
Lian Lao Si laughed very proudly: "I said, I will tell Liang Lizheng and everyone that my aunt wanted your niece's wife to remarry, and she gave me a bad idea, asking me to cook the rice into a fait accompli first. I didn't expect that your niece's wife is a ruthless person. She sprinkled a handful of chili powder on me and almost blinded me. If this matter gets out, my aunt will be ready to be stabbed in the back. I heard that there is a student in your family, hehe..."
Zhang was dumbfounded and her whole body was cold.
"How dare you! You have no evidence, no one will believe you. There's no way Xu would admit it, she still has her dignity. Who would believe you?"
Lian Lao Si sneered, "I came to your house that day, and many people in your village saw me. After I left, I went to see Doctor Liu in Quanshan Village and got medicine. This is all evidence. You don't admit it? We each have our own story, so we can only report it to the authorities. If we go to court, do you have the guts to hide it from the officials?"
"You dare! You dare!"
