Scarred man: “…” If he still doesn’t know Jian Xiu’s purpose, then he has lived in vain for so many years.
But things have come to this point, and if paying money can settle the matter, he will celebrate.
"What? Am I right?" Seeing the scarred man's answer, Jian Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked again.
"Yes, yes, yes, the lady is absolutely right. We must compensate for this, of course we must compensate for it."
"Well, well, let's start counting from now on!"
"That's natural, natural!"
"First, let's talk about the pots and pans that were smashed in the house! You broke all of them when I went in just now. If you calculate it this way, if you want to buy more, it will cost at least one or two taels of silver, right?"
"Of course I should, of course I should!"
"Well, you heard it just now. My sister-in-law said that you come once a month, and then twice a month. Of course, I will not count the latter two times. Even if you come once a month, there are twelve months in a year, that is sixty times, one tael each time, so if you count it this way, you should pay sixty taels for the pots and pans. Do you know if I calculated it wrong?"
Scarred man: "..." He also knew why. He thought that the compensation for only one tael suddenly became sixty taels.
But at this moment, he was at the sharp end of Jian Xiu's knife. Did he dare to say that?
Thinking of having to pay sixty taels, I gritted my teeth and said I had to pay it, but I just accepted it.
Of course, he just said it out loud because he was convinced.
Jian Xiu naturally saw what the scarred man was thinking, so she asked again, "Why? You look like you are convinced?"
Hearing this, the scarred man shuddered and shook his head repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, I am convinced, lady. I am convinced. I am convinced from the bottom of my heart."
Jian Xiu was extremely satisfied with the scarred man's answer.
He hummed softly and continued, "Now that this calculation is done, it's time to start calculating another one."
Hearing this, the scarred man stood up and cried out in surprise, "Another payment? What other payment? Where is there another payment?"
"Why are you so excited? Are you so angry?"
Scarred man: “…”
"My family was destroyed by you. Do you have to pay for the doctor and herbs? Look at my elder brother. He even needs help to stand. Is it reasonable for me to ask you for compensation?"
"Yes, that's right, it makes sense!" the scarred man said quickly.
"Just today, my family spent nearly two taels to hire a doctor, and that's not counting the money for the supplements later on. So, it's at least three taels. Am I right?"
"Come on... Come on... Come on!" The man with the scar wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.
"As I just said, in 20 years, I will have to pay sixty times..."
"Please spare me, lady. I misunderstood you. I took it so seriously this time. It was just a minor incident before. I would have taken action against them if they had paid the interest. You can ask them about this."
Before Jian Xiu finished speaking, the man with the scar began to explain anxiously.
Are you kidding? If this is calculated based on years, he would lose everything even if he lost everything.
"Oh, really? Then I'll have to ask my sister-in-law and the others to see if this is the case." Jian Xiu said lightly.
After saying this, she did not ask Qian Hongmei in person, but instead stared at the piece of pork in Zhang Xuemei's hand.
Scarred man: “…” So, this pork issue hasn’t been resolved yet?
Of course, he dared to ask.
"Jian Xiu, forget it, they just need to compensate..."
"Sister-in-law, this may be too kind, especially when dealing with certain people. I understand you. Why did you tolerate such a person for so long?"
Jian Xiu interrupted Qian Hongmei and said with a look of regret.
In her eyes, she would never be soft-hearted towards such a thing.
The reason why she didn't act harshly against those people in the old house was because of their identities.
Even though Zhang Zixuan was Old Liu's biological son, it was a fact that she raised him.
In this era, if the country is governed by filial piety and is too harsh, then in the future when the six heads and seven heads take the imperial examinations, it will definitely be brought out and publicized.
In the end, I am worried that I will be affected.
But it's the same for men like Scar Man.
The reason why he dared to attack them again and again, and became more and more severe, was completely because he had grasped their weak spots.
For Jian Xiu, this was a completely stupid behavior.
"Xiu'er, forget it! As long as they don't harass us again, we will be satisfied." Jian Ming on the side also spoke up.
Hearing this, Jian Xiu also felt helpless.
This is my original home. They are kind-hearted and easily satisfied.
After she was reborn into her original body, she also complained, thinking that she was lucky to be reborn into such a person.
But just now, Jian Xiu slowly felt satisfied.
At least she will no longer be in a world without emotions or even coldness like before.
Here, she gained the family love that she had never felt before.
Since she used her body and got what she had always longed for, she should also give something in return.
Therefore, Jian Xiu vowed to protect this family well.
She not only wants her life to get better and better, but also wants her relatives to live better.
"Did you hear that? My elder brother pleaded for you, so I'll spare you this time. You won't get away with a single penny of the silver I just calculated."
At this point, Jian Xiu seemed to remember something and said, "I almost forgot about Sister Fen. Sister Fen was beaten up like this by you. How do you think you should compensate her? This woman's face is not something you can just joke about. You know, this may affect her whole life."
Scarred man: "......." He swore that he would never dare to offend the lady in front of him.
He just slapped her a few times, and after the redness and swelling subsided, he could still do what he wanted.
Besides, did you also love me? How should I calculate this?
Even if he died, the scarred man would never dare to say these words.
Even if I thought about it, it was just a weak thought in my heart, like a guilty thief.
"I have charged you too much. Counting the previous sixty taels, plus the medical expenses this time, and the injuries on Sister Fen's face, it will be seventy taels! Give me seventy taels! After paying this seventy taels, you can get out."
