Chapter 80 I use my land to repay
Captain Sun turned around and glared at the Liu family. Seeing that the three of them immediately fell silent and gave him a flattering smile, he said to Shen Qing forcefully, "The Liu and Jiang families have already divorced. According to the law, there is no need to return.
We are here today to blame you for vandalizing the Liu family and injuring Mrs. Liu. If you are willing to compensate the Liu family, everything will be fine. But if you are not willing, you will have to go with us today!"
Jiang Yu realized that this was an attempt to extort money from their family, and his face turned pale as paper.
Jiang Xiangdong's first reaction was: "We don't have much money at home."
Captain Sun was prepared. Hearing this, he quickly said, "If you don't have silver, then use the newly harvested grain!"
Except for Jiang Xiangdong, everyone else understood the meaning of the words.
No wonder it arrived not earlier but after the wheat was dried and stored in the warehouse!
It was obvious that he knew that the farmers did not have much money. If he came too early, it would be useless if he could not come up with the money. If he came too late, he would not be able to sell the grain either.
Jiang Xiangdong blinked and said at a loss: "But our family doesn't have any new crops, and we still have to spend money to buy food."
The food we eat now is better than before, but it is also bought with real money. I am afraid that most of the money earned from making brushes is used to buy food.
But don’t mention it, eating refined grains most of the time and coarse grains only a few times is really nutritious, especially for little babies. They are now chubby, and the money is well spent if it is spent in the right place!
Captain Sun and the Liu family were stunned, but Old Lady Liu started to shout, "How is that possible? Don't look at me. I don't know that your Jiang family originally had 23 acres of land. In order to pay the tuition for your son's studies, you sold an acre every few days, but you only sold five acres in total.
"You still have 17 acres of land? You can't have sold it all in less than a month. You can't fool people like this!"
The seventeen acres of land is considered very good in both Qili Village and Shili Village. Although the younger members of the Jiang family are not good at farming, the eldest and second oldest are good at it. This year, the wheat ears were growing with rain, and the harvest was good. In a year of bumper harvest, every family is smiling.
The Jiang family boss was assessing the old woman and wondering if she knew anything about the Jiang family's land? She actually just lied!
This time, the Jiang family didn't need to speak up; the villagers watching started chattering: "The fields are still there, but the harvest is gone."
"Aunt Jiang traded all of this year's new grain with the Zhao Hong family for large fish, loaches, eels, and even small fish and wild shrimp. How could she have any extra food?"
"The wheat in the Jiang family's fields was harvested by the Zhao and Hong families. They were exhausted. It now belongs to someone else. If anyone dares to move it, the Zhao and Hong families will probably fight to the death!"
"Why are you moving? The new grain has already been given to the Zhao and Hong families. Besides, who can say that the new grain belongs to the Jiang family?
If the early wheat is in the field, it is really hard to say without proof or certificate. Even if you rush to harvest, you can only watch. Now the daylilies are cold, what else can you say~"
…
Captain Sun's face, which was swollen due to alcohol and sex, looked extremely ugly at the moment!
Is the Jiang family struggling to make ends meet? Who would give all the crops from their fields to others?
He gritted his teeth and asked Jiang Xiangdong, "Since the wheat in the fields has been exchanged for big fish, where is the money from selling the fish?"
This is the eldest son of the Jiang family, and he is married. The wife of the Jiang family must rely on the eldest son for survival after her husband died. She would not hide it from him, and he must know where the family money went.
Jiang Xiangdong looked at Captain Sun like he was a fool: "Didn't I tell you that we need to buy food for our family, so of course we need money. Besides, we eat very well at home, and I don't know if the money from selling fish is enough."
If it's not enough, I can only make up for it with the money from selling brushes, but I don't need to tell them about selling brushes.
Captain Sun took a deep breath and asked angrily, "Since you want to buy food, and buy good food, why do you have to pawn your own food to others? Why not just take it and eat it yourself?"
After selling the fish, you still have to buy food. Isn't this just an extra detour for no reason?
"Harvesting grain is tiring. You have to cut it, bring it back, move it in and out repeatedly to dry it. Then when it's ready to eat, you have to shell it and grind it into powder. How can it be less laborious than buying it directly from the store?" Jiang Xiangdong repeated what his mother had told them before.
Captain Sun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
I've seen lazy, stupid and dumb people, but I've never seen anything like this!
He said nonchalantly, "Then tell me what to do! I'm going to make it clear, we officers are not pushovers. If you don't pay, we'll be arrested!"
Jiang Xiangdong shrank back and looked at Jiang Yu.
Shen Qing frowned, "What are you looking at your aunt doing? She doesn't have a penny on her, how can she have any silver?"
There were only silver hairpins and silver bracelets, but Jiang Yu treasured them very much and carefully wrapped them in several layers of cloth so that no one else knew about it.
Old Man Liu choked, looking at Jiang Yu with a murky look of disdain: "You left the Liu family to enjoy a good life, but insisted on coming back with them. Don't you still have no money?
We all live our lives, and it's the same whether you have a man or not. You really don't know what's good for you!"
Jiang Yu said viciously: "What kind of man do you want! I wish you were all dead!"
She couldn't survive a single day in the Liu family!
She turned to look at Sun Fugui and said, "My family doesn't have the money to pay, so you can just arrest me and put me in jail."
Captain Sun didn't expect that a young woman was not afraid of going to jail.
She doesn't want fame or to get married again?
After she came out of prison, no man dared to marry her!
Shen Qing, who had been silent until now, panicked after hearing Jiang Yu say that he was going to jail, and anxiously said to Captain Sun: "Captain, my sister-in-law is just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!
How could she, a girl, be thrown into jail? That would be worse than death.
How much money should I pay to the Liu family? I will sell everything I have to make up for it."
Captain Sun was delighted and calmly counted the money: "Three taels of silver, not a penny less."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu actually met a good sister-in-law. However, she is also a fool. She is so obviously anxious and afraid that she can be manipulated as she pleases.
But it's normal. After all, country women have never seen the world and have been gossiping about other people's affairs all their lives. How can they not panic when something really happens?
I didn’t take it seriously before, and it’s true that you won’t cry until you see the coffin!
When they heard the three taels of silver, there was a gasp: "Oh my God! Three taels of silver!"
"That's too much, isn't it? Three taels of silver for that little piece of junk?"
"It really hurts to take out three taels of silver all at once!"
"I don't know if Shen Qing can come up with it, but even if he does, he'll be furious."
…
The Liu family couldn't stop being excited and were drooling nervously.
That's three taels of silver! The betrothal gift for marrying a virgin girl is only seven taels. As Chuntao is the second daughter to be married, she only needs to give one tael, and his family still has two taels left.
How much can you buy with two taels of silver?
"I'm willing to pay, but I don't have any money at home. But don't worry, I still have land! I can use it as collateral!"
