As Luo Yunhe explained, the village chief's face grew increasingly grim. Only after Luo Yunhe stopped did he take a deep look at the little girl in front of him.
"Girl, your family is in such a difficult situation now. You want to build such a big house. Have you thought about how to treat Jingxuan's leg?"
Building such a large house would cost at least a hundred taels of silver. Now that his leg is injured, where will you get the money to build the house?
"Don't blame me for being blunt, but you're going through a tough time right now. I wouldn't have any objections to how big or small your house is. What you're doing is just giving people something to talk about!" the village chief said disapprovingly.
After listening to the village chief's words, Luo Yunhe remained silent for a long time before taking out a small black bag from the backpack on her back.
She slowly opened the small black bag, revealing the silver inside.
When the village chief saw that the small black bag was full of silver, his eyes widened. He counted it carefully and found that it contained at least 300 taels of silver.
"This... what is this...?"
“Village Chief, first of all, I thank you for your concern for us. Secondly, I have prepared all the money, including the money for his leg injury treatment,” Luo Yunhe said earnestly. She knew that the village chief was doing it for their own good, but she had her own plans.
She took a deep breath and continued, "I know that if we build a house now, it will certainly cause gossip, but that doesn't mean I will give up treating Su Jingxuan's leg!" Her eyes were firm and determined, as if she were declaring her resolve to everyone.
"I won't give up either the house or him!" Luo Yunhe's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable strength. She straightened her back, like a brave warrior protecting what was most important to her.
Looking at the thin, small girl's earnest expression, the village chief remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so capable, producing so much silver all at once. Since he possessed so much silver, building a large house was certainly within his means.
"Alright, I understand your request. I will take care of it for you!" the village chief replied.
"Thank you, Village Chief!" Luo Yunhe said gratefully, then put down his planning map before standing up and leaving.
As she stepped out of the village chief's house, sunlight streamed down her, illuminating her small but resilient figure. Her heart was filled with hope and anticipation, believing that the future would only get better.
As the village chief watched her departing figure, his intuition told him that this young girl was no ordinary person, and that there might be even more unexpected things to come in the future.
Luo Yunhe quickly returned to her vineyard and checked on her grapes. She found that since the weeds had already been cleared, only the task of building trellises remained. So, she got to work, first digging holes in all the areas where trellises would be built, and then inserting wooden sticks into the holes one by one.
However, she couldn't accomplish much on her own in a single day. As the sun gradually set and the evening glow painted the sky red, she finally stopped what she was doing and prepared to head to town.
Just then, as she finished packing her things and was about to set off with her large bamboo basket on her back, she suddenly saw a large group of people walking towards her in the distance.
At first, Luo Yunhe didn't pay much attention to them, instinctively trying to avoid them. But as they got closer, her expression turned extremely ugly when she saw what they were carrying.
Almost all of those who came were members of the Su family, but the one leading the charge was Su Chenshi, with Su Ruyi by her side.
Behind them was a large contingent of the Su family, with two people carrying a burlap sack each.
Upon closer inspection, there were nearly 20 sacks, which they carried over one by one.
That is twenty dan of grain!
"Come, come, put it here for her! Everyone, look carefully, I've delivered all 20 dan of grain to her, not a single grain missing. Don't say we didn't give her any grain later!" Su Chenshi shouted, pointing to a spot, and the people quickly put all 20 dan of grain down.
"Luo Yunhe, I have given you the grain. From now on, you have nothing to do with our family. Don't come to our house to beg for our money whenever you have nothing to do with us!" Su Chenshi said to Luo Yunhe triumphantly.
“Yes, after all, they’ve been separated and have nothing to do with our family anymore. If they come to our house again asking for this or that, don’t blame us for being rude to them!” Su Ruyi chimed in.
Looking at their arrogant demeanor, Luo Yunhe couldn't help but sneer inwardly: These people really are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that she was now down on her luck, they started kicking her while she was down.
But it doesn't matter. One day, she will make these people know what regret is.
"Don't worry, now that we've separated, I naturally won't bother you anymore," Luo Yunhe replied coldly.
"Hmph, that's for the best!" Madam Su rolled her eyes, turned around and led everyone away.
Looking at the 20 loads of grain on the ground, Luo Yunhe secretly vowed that she would definitely retaliate in the future.
Not long after those people left, he went to check the 20 bags of grain. The moment she touched them, Luo Yunhe sensed something was wrong. She quickly opened one bag and saw that the grain inside had been soaked in water. Her face immediately turned extremely pale.
Yesterday it rained so hard, and they brought us all the food that had been soaked in water.
If this kind of grain is not dried properly, it will eventually mold over time.
By then, those 20 bags of grain would be completely inedible.
No wonder Su Chenshi was so kind as to send her the grain.
Twenty bags of grain were soaked in water before being delivered to her, leaving her speechless.
Luo Yunhe was furious...
Left with no other choice, he quickly opened all the burlap sacks and left them to air dry temporarily, hoping to slow down the moisture buildup.
Because she didn't have long enough land, she couldn't dry the grains and could only wait until tomorrow.
Luo Yunhe, filled with anger, carried her bamboo basket to the town.
All the way, she was thinking about how to dry the grain, and didn't notice the sneaky figure swimming not far behind her.
"Sister-in-law, is your method really going to work?"
"Don't worry! I guarantee I can help you vent your anger!"
