Chapter 12 A staged act of self-inflicted suffering, netting a few dozen taels of silver. (shuhaige.net)



“Jingchuan’s family, you’ve made this fuss just to get money, haven’t you? I’ll give it to you.”

Shen Yunsheng suddenly regretted asking for too little; she should have asked for a hundred or so taels.

"Grandma, you know in your heart whether I have wronged you or not. Since you are willing to return the money, give it to me now."

Just as Granny Yang was about to speak, Shen Yunsheng interrupted her.

"Don't tell me you don't have any money. I urgently need money to save lives, and I can't wait."

Deng Chengen glanced at Granny Yang, who trembled with fear.

"I... I can only give you two taels of silver. I'll pay you back the rest slowly."

"Thirty-five taels, not a penny less. If you piss me off, I'll just go to Heda Money Shop and borrow the money. Anyway, as long as we don't split up, you have an obligation to pay me back."

Shen Yunsheng knew that the old lady had savings, forty or fifty taels, she definitely had them.

Granny Yang wished she could slap Shen Yunsheng to death. She trembled with rage whenever she thought of the exorbitant interest her eldest daughter-in-law had borrowed.

"Alright, saving lives is the priority. I'll give you your second uncle's travel expenses first."

Seeing that Granny Yang had given in, Deng Chengen smiled and smoothed things over.

“Jingchuan’s family, since your grandmother has already agreed to return the money, you shouldn’t sue her.”

“Grandpa Village Chief, I need to see the money before I can make a decision. You know my husband’s situation. I must find a way to raise a thousand taels to buy him ginseng.”

As Shen Yunsheng spoke, he glanced at Granny Yang out of the corner of his eye.

Although Granny Yang was unwilling, she still went back to her bedroom to get the silver.

Only after Yang Pozi left did Yang Chengen bring the grain to Shen Yunsheng.

“Jingchuan’s family, keep this bag of brown rice. Since you’ve decided to cook for yourself, you should live like a human being.”

Shen Yunsheng was moved by the old man in front of her. In this era of constant famine, food was the most precious thing. The old village chief had given her at least fifty catties of coarse rice, which would be worth several hundred coins if she sold it.

“Grandpa Village Chief, you’ve already helped me enough. I can’t accept this bag of brown rice.”

"Silly child, everyone has difficult times, so don't be so polite with me."

As Deng Chengen spoke, he had already placed the grain bag in the corner next to the wardrobe.

At this moment, Shen Yunsheng really wanted to separate the family, but she was not the head of the main branch and could not make decisions for her father-in-law.

Deng Chengen couldn't help but sigh softly: "Jingchuan's family, you should be prepared to separate from the family. Knowing your grandmother as I do, she will definitely force you to leave with nothing."
