Chapter 5 Being in Debt

After all, there are more than a dozen people in the house, and just eating makes her half exhausted, not to mention there are so many clothes, the hygiene of the house...

That evening, she had just tidied up the yard when she heard the Zhou family talking at the door. They didn't seem very happy. When people came in, they all had gloomy faces, as if they were angry.

.

"What's wrong?" Even though Zhou Rong didn't pay much attention to her, she couldn't help but ask quietly.

Zhou Rong glanced at her and didn't answer, but passed by her...

This indifference made Xi Yao clenched his fists and told himself in his heart: Your life is important, don't worry about it with a dog man.

Although Zhou Rong didn't say anything, after a while, she knew what was going on from the slightly excited words of the Zhou family.

The Zhou family's spring plowing was late this time. In previous years, because Zhou Rong was a scholar, everyone would give it to the Zhou family. But this time, everyone in the village knew that Zhou Rong had no money to rush for the exam. Moreover, when he took the scholar exam before,

He wasn't the leader, and it didn't seem to be ideal, so their attitude changed.

In addition, there used to be two cattle in the village, but now one is sick and only one is left. In order to rush for spring plowing, no one is willing to give in. On the contrary, the run has given the Zhou family an advantage every year. This time, they are allowed to give in.

It made the Zhou family very angry.

"They are deliberately delaying it because they don't want us to have a good harvest," Ms. Chen said angrily, clenching her fists.

It's not as cruel as killing someone.

If the spring plowing is delayed, the harvest will be affected, and the family's food, drink and chewing in the second half of the year will be in danger.

"The family has no money. If we don't even have food..." Mrs. Lin, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Shun, the elder Zhou Shun, hugged her youngest daughter and said hesitantly, but was scolded by Zhou Shun.

"Please stop causing trouble. What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lin, who was already worried, immediately turned red after being scolded by Zhou Shun.

"Am I being stupid? The adults are hungry, so they tighten their belts and get over it. But what about the children? Our little flower is still young and already weak. If we don't have rice porridge in winter, will we be able to raise it well?

?" Mrs. Lin became more and more aggrieved as she talked, and couldn't help but cry: "What's more, in order to bury the four members of the Xi family, the fourth brother borrowed fifty taels of silver from his husband, but he didn't bring back a penny.

I have spent more than one hundred taels of silver, can I not be in a hurry?"

Xi Yao's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that Zhou Rong and the others had spent so much money in just a few days of going back and forth.

She was not angry at Lin's insinuations, but she felt that she was too naive.

The Zhou family didn't want to see her. If they got angry and wanted to drive her away that day, for example, in winter, when the family didn't have enough to eat, she would be the first to be sacrificed. By then, she would be penniless.

They will freeze to death or starve to death.

This thought made Xi Yao shudder immediately, and he felt terrible just thinking about it.

The Zhou family has no money, and she has no money either.

She had to find a way to get some money...

"Alas," knowing that the daughters-in-law at home were unhappy, Ms. Chen sighed and said, "The Xi family is too aggressive. If the marriage fails, they will ruin the reputation of the fourth child. How important is the reputation of a scholar? I am

I had no choice but to agree, I can't let anyone ruin the reputation of the fourth child!"

Xi Yao has actually been wondering what is going on with this marriage.

But I didn't expect that the Xi family would do so dirty things.
