C4 He Dirtied My Feet

Mrs. Zhang was about to cry when she heard that. She had no choice but to turn her gaze to Zhang Shengsheng, "Village Chief, quickly help me. I really can't take out fifty taels now!"

"Now you know there's no other way. You were still so arrogant just now?" Zhang Shengsheng glared at her but it was still a matter in the village. It was too stiff and it was not beneficial to the harmony of the village. He could only stand out and be a peacemaker.

He turned to Xu Yao and coughed lightly, "This, Xu family's child. Do you think Mrs. Zhang really can't take out so much money now? Can you be a little more relaxed?"

"Alright then. For the sake of the village chief, I will temporarily be more lenient to you. How about this, you can at least take out 10 silver taels, right? Ten taels of silver, plus that cow of yours, it will be counted as twenty-five taels of silver. You still owe us twenty-five taels of silver, do you have any objections?" Xu Yao said slowly.

What! " Mrs. Zhang opened her eyes wide again and instantly became anxious, "That cow is our farm. If I give it to you, what will we eat?!"

Xu Yao looked up at her and grinned, "If I'm not wrong, that cow should be bought with my mother's money, right? Don't you think it's right and proper for me to take it back? "

"But..." Mrs. Zhang still felt indignant and wanted to say something.

But she was suddenly stopped by the village head. "Okay. Mrs. Zhang, ten taels of silver and one cow, still owed Mrs. Xu twenty-five taels. It was decided just like that. If you still don't accept it, Then give them fifty taels of silver!"

Mrs. Zhang did not say anything. 50 taels of silver, even if she sold it, she might not be able to take it out.

No matter how unconvinced she was in her heart, she still nodded her head in agreement. "Then... listen to the village head's arrangements." As he spoke, he fiercely glared at Xu Yao, "When are you going to come with me to get the silver and to hold the cow?"

Xu Yao knew that this kind of matter could not be delayed. Taking advantage of the fact that there were still villagers and village chief as witnesses, she had to settle this as soon as possible. Otherwise, she could not guarantee that Mrs. Zhang would turn hostile and not admit to her debt.

So she said, "Right now."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that, she glared at her again and gnashed her teeth, "Then why aren't you leaving yet?" After saying that, she shook her head and walked in front with her butt twisted. Every step she took was heavily stomped on the ground, as if she had a huge enmity with the ground.

Before she left, Xu Yao did not forget to say to the villagers, "Villagers, I know there are only two cows in the village. Mrs. Zhang's house has one cow and the village chief's house has one cow. Borrowing the village chief's house to plow the land sometimes takes a long time. At that time, it is easy to miss the best time to plow the land. In order to rush the time, you often spend money to go to Mrs. Zhang's place to borrow cattle. Ten copper coins a day, right? "

The villagers all nodded and began to complain about Mrs. Zhang's insincerity. If she wanted to borrow other people's things, she could. If other people came to borrow things from her own family, they must have money.

"In the future, as long as this cow is fed and has enough rest, everyone can use it as they wish!"

Hua!

The villagers were in an uproar and all of them revealed looks of joy. In the future, they would not have to worry about not being able to catch up to the good season of farming and go to Mrs. Zhang's place to spend money!

In an instant, everyone praised Xu Yao and continuously said to Mrs. Xu that she had raised a good daughter.

Mrs. Zhang who walked in front naturally heard it clearly. Immediately, her yellow teeth were about to be crushed. She suddenly turned her head and shouted, "That little slut, do you still want to follow me?"

Xu Yao rolled her eyes. She was not in a hurry to hurry and let her wait first.

After enduring the praises of the villagers, she pulled her mother Mrs. Xu's hand and followed Mrs. Zhang. At that time, Mrs. Zhang was already so angry that her face had turned green.

"Why don't I drag you two to death!" Mrs. Zhang angrily scolded in front of them.

"I'm sorry. My mother and I have a long life. We are the kind of people who want to live a long life. We are not compared to you. One look and you can tell that we are short-lived ghosts!" Xu Yao did not want to be outdone and retorted sarcastically.

"You!" Mrs. Zhang turned around and glared at her.

Xu Yao also stared back at her, "What, you want to give me fifty taels?"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that her eyes became dizzy. However, she did not know how to refute. She could not say that she really took fifty taels, right? She coldly snorted and finally did not speak anymore.

Following Mrs. Zhang to her house, she saw that she took out a yellow handkerchief from the inside of the house. Her face was full of unwillingness as she stood in front of Mrs. Xu and Xu Yao. She endured the pain and said angrily. "Take the money and get out of my house. Don't dirty my house!"

"I still dislike your house dirtying my feet!"

Xu Yao did not mind her throwing it on the ground. She squatted down and started to pick it up. Mrs. Xu also picked it up with her. This was the first time she had seen so much silver ever since she came to this village and settled down for so many years. When Xu Yao put the silver in her hands, her hands that held the silver were trembling.

These words made Mrs. Zhang out of breath. When she took the cow and left, Xu Yao did not forget to turn around and say: "Don't be angered to death. After all, you still owe us 25 taels of silver!"

After that, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu took the cow and walked slowly. When they were about to step out of the door, they heard the sound of someone falling on the ground behind them. The two did not look back and just smiled at each other on the road.

"Yao'er, why does mother feel that you have become..." Mrs. Xu finally could not help but voice the doubt in her heart as they walked on the road.

"You have become sharp-tongued?" Xu Yao followed her mother's words and saw her nod her head with a worried expression. She smiled, "Mother, I have no problem with my brain. I just woke up after a moment of water. I feel that we can't bear to be bullied by Mrs. Zhang all the time. We are mother and daughter dependent on each other. If you want to live a good life, you can only protect yourself. If you don't think so, I might not have Yao'er anymore! "

Mrs. Xu thought about how she almost lost her daughter just now and felt a wave of fear. She nodded her head at her daughter's words. She did not know that the core of this shell had already changed. She just thought that her daughter had really thought it through all of a sudden.

First, she went back and tied the cow up. The mother and daughter went to town to buy some food and vegetables. Considering that her daughter had suffered today, Mrs. Xu even cut half a kilogram of pork to help her recover.

The house they lived in was very simple and crude. That kind of house only had one room, a bed, a rotten table, and not even a kitchen. In that way, Mrs. Xu simply built a few stones outside the house, set up a pot, and started to cook.

As for the beef hoops, there was no need to talk about them. So Xu Yao still wanted to find someone to renovate the house and build a kitchen. She also wanted to give the cow a cow hoop. Otherwise, if the cow caught a cold in the wind and rain, it would be another sum of money.
