"What exactly do you want?!" The female protagonist was now completely overwhelmed. The room was filled with a noisy cacophony of voices coming from all sides!
"Give me the money!" the female protagonist's aunt shouted, her face showing excitement and her voice trembling slightly.
The others in the room echoed this sentiment.
"I'll give you ten yuan every month!" After seeing the greedy faces in the room, the female protagonist knew that she probably wouldn't be able to get anything without paying some money!
This group of people will definitely cause trouble for me!
Some were worried that they would be sent to the Revolutionary Committee by these people who only cared about money and not people!
He was eventually sent to a labor camp!
Then everything will be over!
Then my rebirth would have been in vain!
It's no different from my previous life!
They're all so miserable!
"No, it has to be fifteen!" Zhang's third son hurriedly said when he saw that the others were wavering.
I'm just worried that someone might blurt out "yes" and agree!
That means five dollars less each month!
That's a loss of sixty over the course of a year!
That's quite a lot!
That's enough for him to marry another wife!
“You don’t lack these yourself, so don’t skimp on those five,” the third son of the Zhang family said again.
"No! Ten yuan is already more than enough! Fifteen is too much! Don't go too far!" The female protagonist was furious, and her voice was full of gunpowder.
I only earn about thirty yuan a month, and with the cost of using the kitchen, it comes to about twenty-five yuan a month!
If I give out another fifteen yuan every month, then I'll only have ten yuan left!
That's far too little! When you calculate it this way, all the hard work I do and all the money I earn ends up being less than what the Zhang family receives!
Naturally, I was very unhappy about it!
"Alright, then thirteen yuan a month, no less!" The third son of the Zhang family seemed to see the strong dissatisfaction on the female lead's face and sensed that the amount he had asked for might indeed be a bit too much, exceeding Sanya's ability to pay!
I estimate it dropped by two dollars!
"You need to understand that if you get caught speculating and profiteering now, it will implicate the Zhang family! It will be difficult to find spouses for our children in the future!"
"Not to mention, we might be ostracized by the villagers and assigned hard work to do!"
"We don't want to push things too far!"
"We're all in this together! But if you still disagree, don't blame us for turning against our own family!"
"If we don't get the money, we'll risk being implicated and send you in jail!" Zhang's third son said to the female protagonist, Mo Yan, his voice full of ruthlessness and his eyes flashing with a sharp edge.
"Fine, I'll give it to you!" The female lead, Mo Yan, gritted her teeth and uttered each word clearly, her face dark and her voice filled with anger.
If I weren't afraid of being reported for speculation and profiteering, and ultimately being made an example of and punished, I really wouldn't want these people to get their way!
Now, because I wasn't careful enough, these people have figured out all my actions and know my entire process of selling pastries!
Who knows how long they've been watching!
That's incredibly patient!
However, I was afraid that these people would get carried away and report me, which would lead to a miserable end for me!
Secondly, there's the concern that if these people cause a commotion, someone might suspect that they've been included in the quota for pig farm employees!
After all, this matter doesn't stand up to scrutiny!
Who knows what might happen if we don't handle the aftermath properly, and it might all come to light!
If, when the time comes, I'm accused of pushing an old lady down and then doing a good deed by demanding compensation, that would be terrible!
And the pig feed additives that I got from the pig farm are something I can't tell outsiders!
Let's be patient for now, let's endure it for a few years, and then when things loosen up and private businesses are allowed, let's see how I deal with these people!
They must pay the price for what they did today!
The female protagonist thought to herself that this was the only way she could comfort herself.
Given the current situation, it seems we really have no choice but to compromise!
There is no other way to go!
Or should we really go and be reformed?
My heart, which had just begun to feel somewhat comforted, sank again.
"That's good! If you'd done this earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much! Quick, third sister-in-law, let go! Haha!"
The eldest aunt smiled and said to the third daughter-in-law, her joy barely concealed, and her voice even more cheerful.
Then, the female lead's aunt and third aunt released her, their faces flushed with excitement.
The other people in the room visibly smiled, but only the female lead, Mo Yan, looked completely out of place!
As for the female lead's grandmother lying in bed, she didn't have much screen time in the previous scene in order to maintain her character of having a broken leg!
Now that everything is settled, look at your granddaughter's sour face; she's clearly a hundred times unwilling!
I was a little unhappy about it!
Who are you trying to impress with that long face?
unlucky!
It seems that being away from home for too long has made them less obedient than before!
We still need to teach her!
The grandmother secretly pondered to herself, "Although everything has been agreed upon now and there's no need to pretend to be sick anymore, I can't abandon this persona of falling and getting injured!"
We still need to make use of it!
This is perfect opportunity to teach her some manners!
So, when the female lead, Mo Yan, wanted to leave early and return to the Mo family, she was forcibly kept there by her grandmother!
As for the female lead, she couldn't just go back directly. After all, if she left, the Zhang family would spread rumors and she would be seen as a shameless person!
After all, the countryside isn't far from the county seat. If word gets spread to the county seat, how can anyone stay there?
Each person could drown themselves with a single spit!
So even though he knew that being left behind wouldn't bring him any good, he could only reluctantly compromise!
I comforted myself that it would only last a few days, after all, if they wanted the money, they wouldn't have kept me here for so long!
So, in the following days, the female protagonist's grandmother began to torment her in various ways!
First, I made her wash the clothes she had changed out of that hadn't been washed for over ten days!
Let's change the bedding and wash it together!
Afterwards, he asked the female lead to boil several pots of hot water to wash and bathe him. After the bath, he not only felt much more comfortable, but also lost a few pounds.
...
Within two days, the female protagonist was exhausted and looked haggard, with a listless spirit!
The main issue is that the female lead's grandmother has a habit of getting up at night, and she always wakes the female lead up to help her!
This makes me have to praise the actress's grandmother for her excellent acting skills!
They actually put on quite a convincing act!
As a result, when the female lead finally left, she almost wanted to run away!
Even though I was physically exhausted, the thought of leaving made me very excited!
