Chapter 81: Lack of Education Will Lead to Loss

Jiang Wan quickly found her aunt, cousin and mother. The three of them were standing quite near the front, with Xiao Man's mother next to them.

By the way, Xiaoman’s mother seems to be Xiaoshan’s third aunt, so this is also her family affair, right?

"Mother, you're still not being honest even though you sprained your ankle."

"It's just a minor injury. It's okay to go to the city today. Just don't put any effort on your right foot."

Yin Huaixi pulled her daughter to a position in front of her, where she could just see what was happening in Xiaoshan's yard.

The yards of almost every family in the village are quite large, but now Xiaoshan's yard has been divided into two halves, and the wall in the middle is being slowly built.

On one side was Lian Dahai's family, and on the other side was Lian Dayou and his old couple. At this moment, Lian Dahai's family was calm, but Lian Dayou's family was in chaos.

"I won't go!! I won't marry! I didn't sign this contract!!"

The blow Lian Hehua suffered today was quite severe.

First she found out her identity was exposed, then someone came to her house with a contract she had stamped her fingerprints on, claiming it was her indenture. In front of her family, they wanted to take her back to be their daughter-in-law.

"I clearly signed the deed to buy the yard! I will report you liars to the police!"

"Okay, then let's report it to the authorities and have them verify whether this is your fingerprint."

The fearless look of the leading man made Lian Hehua very nervous. Could it be that she was really deceived by Master Liu? !

She hurriedly asked for help from her family, but the two old men were afraid of being beaten and hid behind. Lian Dayou just left and was not at home. The remaining He Xiaocui was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When she saw those strong men, she didn't even dare to fart.

If Lian Dahai hadn't been at home, everything in the house would have been smashed.

"The clan leader is here! The village chief is here!"

As soon as the villagers in the outer circle shouted, the crowd immediately made way for them.

Although the village chief didn't like He Hua, he would definitely take care of the matter where people from other villages openly came to the village to rob girls.

The villagers outside couldn't really hear what they were discussing inside, but seeing how fearless those men seemed, it seemed that communication with the village chief might not have a good outcome.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The old patriarch took a look at the contract, which was written in black and white as a contract of voluntary sale. Judging from the hand prints and the attitudes of these people, he could probably confirm that it was Lotus's.

"Tell me the truth, Hehua. Did you sign such a contract? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame us old guys for not helping you. You can just go and marry someone else."

"Chief, I, I...I did sign a deed before, but it was a contract to buy the yard..."

The old village chief curled his lips.

"You can't read, do you know that's for buying a yard?"

"I...it was Master Liu who said he wanted to buy the yard for me, and I didn't think too much about it."

Lian Hehua started crying all of a sudden, and the clan leader was so angry that he almost couldn't stand still.

"Why should they buy you a yard? Don't you have any brains?!"

Lian Hehua just lowered her head and cried.

She was taken advantage of a lot by that Young Master Liu. When Young Master Liu said he would buy her a yard, she believed him of course because she felt she was worth it.

It's too late to say anything now. Not only has she lost her good husband, she was also tricked into giving her fingerprints.

"Chief, village chief, please save me, I don't want to go with them!"

"You don't have to go with us, but you have to compensate us for our losses, ten taels of silver."

The villagers who were eavesdropping at the door came back and were immediately shocked.

Ten taels of silver! In the village, marrying a good wife only costs five or six taels. This amount of money would take seven or eight years to save up if everyone lived frugally. What kind of person did He Hua offend? He was so cruel that he was almost as cruel as those who lent money at high interest rates.

"This girl is usually arrogant, but this time she is in trouble."

"It's all her own fault. Didn't Xiao Jin ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to her last year, but she refused because she was not happy. If they had gotten married then, it wouldn't be the case now."

"Fortunately, Xiao Jin didn't marry her, otherwise she would be a troublemaker."

Everyone was talking at once, and although some of the words were unpleasant to the ear, they gathered here to protect us.

The big men there were afraid of so many villagers and therefore did not dare to act too aggressively.

"Village chief, do you think our brothers' sincerity is enough? If it were someone else who had this contract, they would just take it away. It's only ten taels of silver, not even one tael less."

The village chief turned to look at Lian Fugui, and the old couple was so scared that they waved their hands repeatedly.

"We are out of money. We gave all the money from the family division to the eldest brother and the rest to the second brother. You can go ask them for it."

Lian Dahai thought about it and only took out one or two taels of silver.

"As your uncle, I have raised you, so this is just a token of my appreciation. Your brothers Xiaohe and Xiaoshan are both getting married, and they have many more expenses to pay for. This is all I can give you."

Lian Hehua had seen her grandma's ruthlessness and her parents' indifference, so when she saw the one or two taels of silver given by her uncle, she felt a rare sense of conscience and did not think it was too little.

But one ounce was not enough, nine ounces were still missing.

She thought about it and ran to her new house to look around.

Mr. Liu had given her several gifts before, but the jewelry was a bit ugly, so she sold it for two taels of silver.

She also secretly took a beautiful jade pendant from Mr. Liu and pawned it for five taels. The rest was the money she had saved since she was a child.

Her aunt loved her very much and would always secretly give her money to buy snacks. She would give her even more money during festivals. Even if she spent some of it over the past ten years, she still saved a few taels of silver.

She herself had eight taels of silver, plus her uncle's one tael, which made a total of nine taels.

Lian Hehua's face turned pale with heartache when she took out the money.

"This is all the money I can give you. Mother, give me another ounce."

He Xiaocui was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She started to scold Lian Hehua and finally said that she had no money.

"Your father is in charge of the money at home, go ask him for it."

Lian Hehua gnashed her teeth in hatred.

She didn't believe that He Xiaocui had no private money, she just didn't want to give it to him.

OK, she noted it!

"Chief, village chief, can you lend me some? I promise to return it as soon as possible!"

Lian Hehua, who was usually arrogant, was crying miserably at this moment. Not to mention the village chief and the patriarch, even the aunties who were watching the excitement outside softened their hearts.

In the end, the village chief and the clan leader each lent two hundred coins to Hehua, and the villagers outside lent five or ten coins each. Together with Xiao Man's mother's fifty coins, they added up a little more than ten coins and handed them over to the men.

"Okay, we'll take the money, and you can keep the contract."

It seemed like those men came for the money, and they left without hesitation after taking the money.

Even the lotus flowers seemed to have grown up overnight and even knew to come out and kowtow to the villagers to express their gratitude.

Now the villagers, who were watching the excitement, felt uncomfortable.

Some people are gone, some are still here.

However, the villagers who had previously said harsh words now began to give earnest advice.

Lian Hehua listened carefully, and only she knew the various feelings in her heart.
