In Taoshan Village, Yun Yuan opened her eyes and saw nothing but white. She was kneeling in the mourning hall.
"Yun Yuan, did Ji Zhang leave you any money after he passed away?"
Yun Yuan looked up at the person who was speaking. It was the original owner's eldest cousin, Yun Jin.
Next to him was his wife He, and two boys beside them were clamoring to eat the offerings on the table. The two girls behind him were skinny and said nothing, but their eyes were also full of desire when they looked at the offerings on the table.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, He pushed her shoulder.
"What are you daydreaming about? You're a new widow and don't know how to handle the funeral. Give us the money and we'll take care of it for you. We guarantee that Ji Zhang will have a grand funeral."
In her previous life, the original owner took out ten taels of silver, but did not leave her a penny. She also let Yun Jin and He know that she was rich so that they could scheme against her.
Yun Yuan withdrew his gaze, stood up and shook his head.
"Ji Zhang left in such a hurry that he left nothing behind, not even money. I had only just married into the family and had no idea about the family's financial situation, so I never asked about it."
He said anxiously, "How can I not ask? What are you going to do now?"
Yun Yuan sighed: "I can only borrow money."
Yunjin and He had a bad feeling.
really.
Yun Yuan pleaded, "Cousin, could you lend me some money? Although the funeral hall has been set up with the enthusiastic help of the villagers, we've already done our utmost. The funeral will be another expense, and the coffin hasn't been paid for yet."
Yun Jin waved his hand when he heard this: "Where would I get the money? I have four children to support at home."
Yun Yuan looked at He again: "Cousin's wife?"
He looked at Yun Yuan, who was wearing a white flower on her head. Why did she feel that Yun Yuan was even more beautiful? Her eyes were moist, her face was delicate and beautiful, her skin was white and tender, as if you could squeeze out water, and her lips were bright red and tempting.
Her eyes flashed: "Although my cousin's wife has no money, she can give you some advice. You are the most beautiful girl in our village. Do you know Er Gouzi from our village? I will ask him. He will definitely be happy to marry you."
Ergouzi is just a small gangster, and now he is helping the heroine.
Yun Yuan snorted, "With his ugly appearance, he's not even fit to carry my shoes."
He was no exception. She wanted to continue introducing other people to her, but was interrupted by an angry voice.
"Yun Yuan, how could you humiliate Er Gou like this?"
Yun Yuan turned around and saw a pretty woman and a man dressed as a scholar walking in together, followed by a scoundrel-like man. They were the male and female protagonists and their bodyguard Ergouzi.
The three of them were all amazed when they saw Yun Yuan. The male and female protagonists' eyes quickly returned to calm, but Er Gouzi was the only one who stared at her straight without blinking.
Yun Yuan said in disgust: "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here."
Yan Xiaoman frowned at Yun Yuan and said righteously, "You just humiliated Ergou. You need to apologize to her."
Yun Yuan sneered, "So what if I humiliated him? It's not your turn to stand up for me. If someone didn't know, they would think you two were having an affair."
"Yun Yuan!" Ji Zhang shouted angrily, "We came here to give you some money out of pity for you. Now it seems I was overthinking it. You don't even look worried at all. You're still the same as before, no improvement!"
Improve what? Yun Yuan asked: "Er Gouzi, do you want me to apologize to you?"
Er Gouzi said obsessedly: "No, no, my name sounds so beautiful when it comes out of your mouth, hehe, if you can marry me, I will give you all my property."
Yun Yuan rolled her eyes, ignored him, and stretched her hand in front of Yan Xiaoman.
"Don't you want to pay? Here you go."
Yan Xiaoman glared at Er Gouzi and said angrily, "I don't want to give it to you now. You don't deserve any sympathy."
Yun Yuan suddenly laughed: "It's not that I suddenly don't want to give it, it's that I don't have any money at all."
Yan Xiaoman really didn't bring any money. She just wanted to see Yun Yuan's pitiful appearance after losing her husband. She expected Yun Yuan would not take her money, so she didn't bring any money.
But she couldn't admit it: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just because you're vicious, do you think everyone else is as vicious as you?"
"Who is the wicked one?" Yun Yuan felt she needed to tell the truth. "It was you who borrowed money from my father and didn't pay it back, causing him to be stoned to death while doing forced labor. It was also you who stirred up a hornet's nest and killed my mother!"
There were other people in the mourning hall besides them. Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and their eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. It turned out that they had such a past.
Ji Shen was about to take the imperial examination. Hearing this, he said, "That's just your one-sided story. My father-in-law never lent you any money. You're jealous of my father-in-law's family's profits and won't lend them to you, so you're biting back. As for your accusation that my wife maliciously stirred up a hornet's nest and harmed others, that's completely nonsense. My wife would never do that."
"Really?" Yun Yuan sneered, "Then make Yan Xiaoman swear an oath herself. Now that she's standing in my husband's mourning hall, make her say in person that she has never harmed our family."
Yan Xiaoman has experienced time travel and reincarnation, so she is quite taboo about matters related to gods and ghosts. If it were in modern times, she would dare to swear without blinking, but now, she doesn't dare.
"Yun Yuan, let the past be the past. My father and I really didn't do what you said..."
Yun Yuan interrupted her: "You swear, I only believe in God."
Yan Xiaoman opened her mouth, but seeing everyone looking at her, especially the inquiry in Ji Shen's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "I swear..."
"Wait." Yun Yuan pointed outside and said, "Go over there."
Yan Xiaoman frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Yun Yuan: "As long as you swear that nothing happened, I won't go against you in the future."
Before Yun Yuan came, the original owner had caused a lot of trouble for Yan Xiaoman. For example, when she bought soybeans at four cents per pound, she bought them at five cents. Another time, when Yan Xiaoman wanted to pick wild grapes to make wine, she had people pick all the ripe wild grapes overnight.
It is still in her yard.
Yan Xiaoman has been annoyed with Yun Yuan for a long time. The two families are separated by a wall. Yun Yuan did everything to get revenge on her, even climbing over the wall to eavesdrop in the middle of the night. She almost had a nervous breakdown, for fear that she would accidentally leak the secret recipe for making money.
Now in public, Yan Xiaoman thought that as long as she swore an oath, even if Yun Yuan could not let go of her hatred, she would restrain herself in front of others and would not dare to openly oppose her.
So she walked out the door.
Yun Yuan looked at her with a smile: [System, it's your turn to perform.]
[OK!] The system is eager to try.
Yan Xiaoman stood under the clear sky. At this time, the sky was clear and cloudless.
She raised her hands and swore, "I swear, my father didn't owe any money and I didn't stir up a hornet's nest to harm Yun Yuan's mother. If I'm not telling the truth, I'll be struck by lightning."
“Boom!”
Amidst everyone's horrified expressions, a bolt of lightning struck straight down towards Yan Xiaoman.
