Grandma Sun was cursing angrily, "How could you be so stupid, you ruined your family and your business! Did your brain get struck by lightning? You are not even as good as a stone roller! You just gave away all the silver for nothing, and I am still starving, but you used all the good silver to buy your good reputation..."
Tang Shiyue said, "This is the old house of the clan leader. The silver that was dug out originally belonged to the clan leader. Of course I have to return it to the clan leader. This is called returning the property to its original owner. Could it be that the clan leader was kind enough to lend me the house to live in, and I dug out the silver, and I want to keep it secretly? What kind of person would I be then? I can't do such an ungrateful and money-hungry thing."
"Bullshit!" Granny Sun glared at him and said, "The silver has been buried for who knows how many years, and no one knows who buried it. Whoever digs it out owns it!"
"Grandma, you are wrong!" Tang Shiyue said, "Everything should be traced back to its source. For example, the land at home is under Grandpa's name. You cultivated and planted it. If you were to say so, all the grain should belong to you. Why do you have to pay taxes for growing grain? Do you dare not pay? Do you dare to use this perverse logic to explain it to the county magistrate?"
Grandma Sun's voice was old and hoarse, and every word was full of gritting teeth, while Tang Shiyue's voice was delicate and crisp, like an oriole. Although they were clearly quarreling, it was refreshing to listen to, and every word made sense, without a single dirty word, which was completely different from the swearing and cursing of country people.
In the neighboring yard, the young man's brows gradually relaxed, then he lowered his head and continued reading.
Mrs. Sun was really furious.
She had been hating Tang Shiyue these days, but she was afraid to do anything because of the clan leader, fearing that it would ruin her son's marriage and her grandson's reputation. Now she heard her little mouth chattering and she was furious: "Don't talk to me about these things! I just know that your father is my own! No matter where you get the silver from, it's all mine! You have to give it all to me! You don't give it to your family members, but give it to outsiders!"
Before Tang Shiyue could say anything, someone outside said, "Oh? Grandma Sun, I don't know how my family's silver became yours? And I gave it to you obediently, you are so shameless!"
Mrs. Sun choked at that moment.
...
...
These were the eldest and second daughters-in-law of the clan leader. No matter how much she threw a tantrum, she was not stupid after all. She knew that she was not right in today's matter. Besides, even if she was right, she would not dare to quarrel with the clan leader's family. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. After a long time, she said awkwardly, "I just...taught her something."
"Grandma, please stop teaching me." The clan leader's second daughter-in-law, Qian, spoke softly and slowly, but her words were sharp: "The son you taught me cruelly sold other people's young wives, and the grandson you taught me stole rabbits from other people's traps. Yue'er is a good young lady, grandma, please be kind and stop teaching her well!"
The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao, also said, "I am now really glad that we did not lend this house to someone from your family. Otherwise, the money in my family would have really become yours."
"Although we are younger than you, we still have to remind you that the land you are standing on belongs to us, and you have no right to make comments here!"
As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face, but what they said really hit them in the face.
The two of them arrived at the same time as Grandma Sun and her gang. Listening to Grandma Sun's cursing, they were really angry and scared. If it weren't for Tang Shiyue's kindness and righteousness, the three thousand taels would have really grown wings and flew away!
The two of them talked one by one and forced Mrs. Sun away. Tang Shiyue then stepped forward and invited the two of them in for tea.
Zhao asked, "Where is your mother?"
Tang Shiyue pointed to the bedroom and said, "We won't go in. Come here, I have something to tell you." She pulled her aside and whispered a few words in her ear.
The head of the Tang family actually gave her the title deed of this house! This, this is really a big deal!
Tang Shiyue was really surprised: "How can that be possible?"
Zhao said, "This is what my father-in-law ordered. You can just take it." She couldn't help but said sourly, "This house is worth a lot of money. You must remember our kindness."
Qian smiled and said, "Father-in-law is just thanking you for your kindness. Just keep it."
Tang Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Aunts, please wait for me."
She went back quickly and whispered a few words in Qi Yang's ear. Qi Yang nodded and finished it. Tang Shiyue pressed a handprint and handed it over, saying, "Although the clan leader is righteous, I can't be so shameless as to take it for free. Please help me hand this to the clan leader."
This was an IOU that Tang Shiyue asked Qi Yang to write, stating that the head of the Tang family sold the house to her for one hundred taels of silver, and that the money should be repaid within a year.
Qian was literate, and when she saw it, she immediately admired Tang Shiyue's straightforwardness. She wanted to do her a favor, so she whispered in her ear: "We haven't told anyone about this. Just understand it yourself. If there is any problem later...if Grandma Sun comes to cause trouble again, just push it to us! Don't be afraid!"
Tang Shiyue bowed and said, "Thank you, auntie, for loving me."
The two went back and handed the IOU to the head of the Tang family.
After listening to what they said, the head of the Tang family nodded repeatedly: "This child is really good at doing things! It's a pity that she is a young lady. If she was a young man..." He shook his head and said nothing more.
He thought about it for most of the night before deciding to give the deed to this house to Tang Shiyue.
It really hurts, even though they have just made a fortune. However, no matter how good the house is, it is indeed incompatible with their family. It is of no use if it remains there. It is just a waste.
Tang Shiyue handed over three thousand taels of silver. This person is a good person! This thank-you gift is not good if it is too light or too heavy. It is better to give her the house. For her at this time, this is like sending charcoal in the snow.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another reason... He felt from the bottom of his heart that this young lady was a lucky one, and brought him good luck! When people get old, they believe in such things more, spend more money, and feel comfortable.
I had already planned to give it away for free, so receiving this IOU makes me feel particularly comfortable.
Although this house is in the countryside, if it is really sold, it can be sold for one hundred and twenty or thirty taels. The one hundred taels written by Tang Shiyue not only accepted his favor, but also did not take advantage of him. The head of the Tang family felt that this was the right thing to do. He gave the IOU to his wife to keep, and made up his mind not to ask for the money.
On the other side, Tang Shiyue was in such a good mood!
The feeling of living in a borrowed house is very different from the feeling of owning the house. Now the house is hers! She can live here as long as she wants! She can tidy it up however she wants!
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to go shopping and decorate the house the way she wanted!
That’s why she wished that the family could be divided tomorrow! She no longer had the patience to calculate with them! Only after the family was divided could she spend money happily! Spend money! Aaaaa!
