Chapter 79 Building a House



"What did you say?"

Hearing her words, Zhang Chunlai's expression suddenly changed.

He didn't want to pay back the money, but Zhang Xiaoyun was still his own daughter after all. If he really severed the relationship, wouldn't he have no hope in the future?

Zhang Xiaoyun staggered to his feet.

"Yes, since you don't want to see me so much, oh, you didn't care about me before, why not just cut ties with me! I will pay back the money I owe myself, and even if I live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not even dead yet, and you dare to think of severing ties with me?"

Zhang Chunlai glared at her, took a step forward, and raised his hand to strike down.

Jiang Wan stared at him, "Uncle Zhang, we are outside. If you have any questions, you can just close the door and deal with them."

How could Zhang Chunlai look happy when being challenged by a junior?

But there was nothing he could do now and he could only swallow the bitter pill.

"However, if you want to deal with this matter, you must first pay me back the money I owe you. A total of fifty taels of silver. The day of repayment is today."

Jiang Wan stopped in front of him and reached out to help Zhang Xiaoyun up.

'hiss--'

As soon as he touched her wrist, he heard her cry out in pain. She quickly lifted Zhang Xiaoyun's sleeve and saw the blue and red scar at a glance.

"No wonder everyone in the village says Xiaoyun has a good mother. It turns out she treats Xiaoyun as a punching bag, beating and scolding her at every turn. She acts like a loving mother in front of others, but a vicious wolf behind their backs."

"You dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

When Yang Hua heard her words, her face changed instantly.

"You know it's nonsense, right?"

"They treat their own daughter like the apple of their eye, and order other people's daughters around like servants, beating and scolding them at every turn. This really broadens my horizons."

When Yang Hua heard this, her expression changed immediately.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaoyun is my daughter, how could I beat or scold her for no reason?"

And...her own daughter's affairs, the secrets hidden outside, how did this little bitch know about it?

Jiang Wan ignored her and looked at Zhang Chunlai instead.

"Uncle Zhang, please give me a definite answer on how to handle this matter. This way, I can go home and explain it to my parents."

Zhang Xiaoyun looked up and saw the confusion on Zhang Chunlai's face, and he knew what was going on.

He is definitely not worried about himself, but about the money...

"Dad, if you don't want to sever ties with me, then please help me pay back the fifty taels of silver. When the time comes, I'll work like a slave and earn the money back."

Zhang Xiaoyun was completely disappointed with him. If he still had a trace of family affection in his heart, she would not be like this.

"I...you dare to borrow so much money behind my back. Don't you know the consequences?"

"But why didn't you tell me this when you wanted to drink? You drank all that money, and now you should pay me back!"

"You little bastard! I've raised you for so many years in vain, and now you dare to teach me a lesson!"

"If that's the case, then let's sever ties! You're a money-loser anyway, there's no point in keeping you around!"

It's a pity to waste her dowry, otherwise she could have bought more wine.

But now, compared to the dowry, he couldn't afford even a penny of the fifty taels of silver.

Writing a letter of severance is not an easy task.

The village chief's testimony is also required.

However, Zhang Xiaoyun certainly cannot stay at their house today, otherwise he will be gone again when he comes tomorrow.

"Wanwan, thank you."

After leaving Zhang's house, Zhang Xiaoyun lowered his eyes and spoke with some disappointment.

Jiang Wan sighed.

That day she went to find Zhang Xiaoyun and discussed today's plan with her. There was another option at that time, which was to stay at Zhang's house.

But she chose this extreme way of escape.

"Wanwan, don't worry, I will return the money I borrowed from you as soon as possible."

"There's no need to talk about this between us. Besides, you've helped me a lot before. It's just a few taels of silver. I should help you."

The fifty taels of silver on the IOU were naturally fake. Zhang Xiaoyun had only lent her three taels of silver at the beginning, and she had written the IOU later.

"Once this matter is over, I will destroy this IOU."

Zhang Xiaoyun shook his head.

"Keep this and give it to me after I've paid you back."

"We agreed at the time that this would be your support while you were away from home. We couldn't let you be burdened with such a huge debt after you left home."

"What are your plans from now on?"

Jiang Wan continued speaking after she finished speaking.

Zhang Xiaoyun shook her head. She had never thought about these things before. Now that she had left the Zhang family, she didn’t know what she could do.

"Xiao Yun, if you don't mind, you can stay with me temporarily. However, I don't have any spare rooms at home right now. I can only give you a room after the new house is built."

As for now, the two of them can squeeze into one room.

"Also, I recently started a business and I need some help. If you want to come, you can give it a try. When you make money, you can save it and you will be able to make a living in the future."

"Really?"

"Of course, you forgot that we agreed to do business together and make a lot of money."

In her previous life, she did not escape from the Jiang family and was suppressed by Jiang Yue everywhere.

Even if he escaped some disasters, he could not change the fate of his family.

The same is true for Zhang Xiaoyun, so this time, she must change all this.

"I do."

"Well, let's go home now."

Almost everyone in the Jiang family knew about Zhang Xiaoyun's affairs. When they saw Jiang Wan bringing her back, the other members of the Jiang family didn't say much.

"Xiao Yun, I'll have to bear with you and Wan Wan for the night."

"Aunt, you're too kind. It's my blessing to be with Wanwan."

She thought that she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life to be able to meet such a good friend in this life.

After cleaning the room, Jiang Wan closed the door and walked out.

"Is Xiaoyun asleep?"

"Um."

Jiang Wan nodded. "Xiao Yun has been locked up in their woodshed for the past two days. She has no food or water and was very frightened. Now she can finally rest."

"This is a poor child. We should help her as much as we can."

Su Yun sighed with pity in his heart.

Her mother died early, and her father treated her like that...

"Xiaoyun isn't very interested in embroidery. I thought I could take her up the mountain to collect herbs. I can handle it all by myself, and Xiaoyun can earn some money."

"good."

Su Yun had no objection to this. This was his daughter's own idea, and they could not stop her from asking someone to help her.

Zhang Xiaoyun arrived at the Jiang family, but they felt uneasy as long as the severance document was not issued.

By the time the document came down, the Jiang family's house building was also put on the agenda.

"Xiao Yun, the family might be busy these next two days, so we'll have to work a little harder."
