After having breakfast, Jiang Wanwan voluntarily joined the ranks of making mosquito coils.
What can we do?
You can't just sit in a chair and watch everyone in the family busy while you do nothing, can you?
However, instead of crushing the materials or squeezing the mosquito coils, she focused on developing a new type of mosquito coil.
Remembering that she had bought a lot of mint and agarwood last time, Jiang Wanwan ran back into the house and took the dried mint and agarwood powder to the yard.
Based on the existing method of making regular scented mosquito coils, agarwood powder and pounded peppermint powder were added respectively. Only half a pound of each of these two scented mosquito coils were made. A decision on whether to mass-produce them will be made after the finished products are produced.
Everyone was busy when suddenly a noisy commotion came from afar.
Then, someone knocked on the courtyard gate from the outside.
Liu San Niang's shrill voice came from outside, "Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, are you home? The people from the money lender have come to the door. You two should hurry to the village entrance and see. They've brought a lot of people to collect debts!"
Feng Xiuer continued, "Yes, I told you not to borrow money from the money exchange a long time ago. Now look what happened! You have no money at home but still insisted on borrowing money from the money exchange at interest to put on a show, and even spent a lot of money to buy an oxcart. Tsk, now those thugs who want their money back have come knocking on our door, and they look really fierce. What are we going to do?"
Feng Xiuer and Liu Sanniang exchanged a glance, and they both saw undisguised schadenfreude in each other's eyes.
Right now, that brat Jiang Wanwan is going to be in big trouble!
snort!
Let's see how arrogant she can be now!
Feng Xiuer and her companion's words caused the villagers to whisper among themselves.
The expressions on people's faces varied: some were worried, some were gloating, and some were indifferent...
"Ah? No wonder I've seen so many bags and packages on their oxcart these past few days. I was wondering how my fifth brother and sister-in-law's family suddenly became so wealthy. Turns out they borrowed money at interest!" Zhang Cuihua had a grudge against the Jiang family. Standing in the crowd, she deliberately lowered her voice and shouted.
Jiang Zhuzhu naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to make Jiang Wanwan's family suffer. She shouted at the top of her lungs, without even trying to hide her voice, "Oh dear, Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, and Wanwan, are you too scared to come out? Are you afraid someone will come and chop you up with a knife right now?"
Zhang Cuihua was terrified and quickly covered Jiang Zhuzhu's mouth with her hand.
She glared at Jiang Zhuzhu and said in a low voice, "You stupid girl, don't you have a brain? Have you forgotten that our family still owes that girl's family fifteen taels of silver? If that girl recognizes your voice, she'll definitely send the money lender to come and collect the money from us!"
Jiang Zhuzhu turned pale with fright and asked worriedly, "Mother, what should we do?"
Zhang Cuihua was also terrified and at a loss, as if Jiang Wanwan's threat was still ringing in her ears.
Zhang Guilan, who had just arrived after hearing the news, couldn't help but scold, "Liu Sanniang, Feng Xiuer, Aunt Cuihua, how can you slander Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's family without any evidence before the matter has been clarified?"
"Oh, Guilan's here. If you feel sorry for that family, why don't you just pool your money and help them pay it back in a bit?" Liu Sanniang said with a smirk, her upturned eyes full of sarcasm, looking extremely mean and acerbic.
"Squeak~~"
The door behind them opened, and Aunt Wang walked out of her yard, angrily shouting, "It's so noisy! I'm asking you, did those people who came to our door say they were from the money exchange? That they wanted to collect a debt from Uncle Wu's family?"
