The three women heard her speak so seriously and thought that what she said must be true. If someone really came to confront them, they would be in trouble today. Four taels of silver was not a small amount of money. If they really had to pay it back, they would probably be beaten to death by the men at home.
Erniu's mother looked at Erniu, undecided. "Even if they did it, it must have been your child who caused it. It's common for children to fight and quarrel. How can you, an adult, get involved with them? It's so cold, even an adult can't stand a bucket of water, let alone a child. You're too cruel."
"Don't change the subject, let's first talk about why the clothes got dirty. Aren't the children here? Ask in front of everyone!"
The onlookers also started to make a fuss, "Hurry up and ask, I think Erniu and the others are most likely to be wrong in this matter."
"The children of the Yan Bingfa family have always been well-behaved. I don't even need to ask."
Erniu's mother pushed Erniu and said, "What's going on? You really made their clothes dirty. Did they provoke you first?"
Even at this time, you are still misleading the child.
None of the three children spoke.
"Tell me quickly, or your father will punish you when you get home."
Erniu glared at Chunxiao fiercely, "I just can't stand them showing off in their new clothes. Mom, didn't you say she was a shameless woman? She bought the cloth to make the clothes, so she deserved them to be soiled."
Erniu's mother was extremely embarrassed at the moment. Seeing this, the other two mother-son pairs tried to escape, but were blocked by the people at the door. Chunxiao ignored them and shook the hoe in her hand. "It's really funny. Why am I so shameless? Cui, why don't you tell me more?"
"My daughter came home from her divorce with a clean record, how could she be so shameless?" Zhou was also annoyed. "Zhang Lan, where is the Dahe person? Go find him and tell him that someone in the family is being bullied."
When Erniu's mother saw that things were about to get out of hand, she suddenly put on a smile and said, "Sister Chunxiao, I didn't say that. The child was ignorant and just misheard. Since Erniu was at fault today, you've evened us out by teaching us a lesson. I didn't know about this beforehand. I just saw the child huddled up and freezing cold and came here out of anger. Now that you know the whole story, let's just forget it and consider it even."
"If you say it's even, then it's even. How do you calculate the money for the clothes and the buns?"
Cui gritted her teeth and pulled four copper coins from her pocket, saying, "I'll pay you for the buns." She refused to accept the money for the clothes. Without waiting for anyone to react, she grabbed Erniu and left.
Zhou was truly relieved after seeing this. "This Cui has always been arrogant. I didn't expect that you would discipline her today."
The children looked at their aunt with admiration. Their aunt was so powerful that she poured water on Erniu and even made Erniu's mother pay compensation with money.
Tian and Zhang didn't know what had happened before, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.
Shuwen Wenfeng then told them about Chunxiao taking them to seek revenge.
Zhang shook her head after hearing this, while Tian laughed, "Our little sister is too powerful. I'm afraid ordinary people won't dare to mess with her anymore."
"Mom, I have to go back first. The charcoal kiln needs to be started. You sit here and wait for news from Dad." Chunxiao calculated that it was almost time.
Zhou thought of the charcoal incident and said, "Go back. Charcoal is a big deal. I'll go back and tell you when I get the news."
Chunxiao left. Along the way, some people pointed and talked, but she ignored them and went on her own way. When she got home, she first lit the charcoal that was due, and then started to build the kiln frame again.
When she had set up five racks and started watching the fire, Zhou also came back with a happy face.
"Has the land issue been resolved?"
"It's done. Your father said it's another 8 mu of land connected together, not far from our current land. After paying the money, we can register the land with the town yamen official and get the land deed. I'll give your household registration to your father tomorrow."
"Is it so easy to buy land in our village? I thought it was not easy."
"Where is the best place to buy? The village head said we were lucky. There was a piece of land that originally belonged to the town and was rented by the villagers. Now that it's available for sale, we happened upon it. Don't you think we're lucky? Otherwise, how could they all be connected together?"
"That was really good luck."
"Your father said that if his money wasn't limited, he would have bought more."
Chun Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I still have some silver. If we keep all the land, it wouldn't be a problem to buy two more acres. Or I can give Dad another 10 taels of silver and let him buy an even number."
"You used all your money to buy the land. Is it enough for your daily life?" Zhou looked at her.
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "It's enough, don't worry. I'll give you 10 taels of silver, and you can help me deliver it to Dad."
"Okay, having more land is a good thing. Even if I don't farm it myself, I can rent it out to others. At worst, I can sell it. It's better than a house."
Chunxiao went back to the house and got her a silver ingot, and also gave her her household registration. Zhou took the things and left in a hurry. When she came back, she put a lot of buns in a cloth bag for her. "Your sister-in-law and the others made a lot of them at noon. I brought back the rest and will heat them up for you later."
"Mom, you are such a fool. You should have left it for the kids to eat, but you brought it here."
"They ate quite a bit today. By the way, are you going to marinate the meat in the kitchen for you or something? Are you going to make soup with the ribs tomorrow?"
"You can do whatever you want!"
One of them was busy in the front yard, and the other was busy in the back yard. After Zhou's steamed buns were heated up, they were brought to her in the back, "Eat them while they're hot."
"I gave the silver to Dad. Are you happy?" Chunxiao asked with a smile while eating buns.
