C24 Stealing a Chicken Is Not Enough to Eat Rice

As for other things, they made my family pay a portion of the alimony, but I know that my family is very poor and can't afford it at all. Originally, my mother came to my grandmother's house today to discuss how to take out the alimony later on, but she didn't expect that you would be unable to wait and attack my mother. Do you know that if you keep fighting like this, my mother won't be able to walk for the rest of her life? If you had a shred of humanity, you wouldn't do that. "

When those words came out, it resounded powerfully in everyone's ears, completely expressing the miserable situation Zhang Xiaohua was in within her family.

When the villagers heard Zhang Xiaohua's explanation, they felt like immediately beginning to suppress everyone within the Zhang’s Old Mansion.

When the initial advantage disappeared, all of the plans were broken. Madam Zhou panicked, and rushed to the front of the group of people, pretending to protect Wicked Granny as she shouted at Zhang Xiaohua with all her might.

"bad girl, I didn't think that you would be so capable after getting married. Originally, being obedient and coincidentally, aside from being a little stupid, was good enough for them. They didn't think that marrying a Wang Family was because of some kind of upbringing, to actually dare treat the old lady in such a manner. Think about it, how easy it would be for an old lady to raise you after all these years? "Now, you only want a little bit of silver taels, yet you are actually so petty. It is a waste for us to love you so much!"

With this, the right and wrong were completely reversed, the good became the bad, and the bad became the merciful family. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the Madam Zhou's shameless look and sneered.

"What you said was nice, you beat my mother up to such a state, why didn't you have such a merciful heart at that time? These black and white words are all written on the documents of this branch family, not to mention that the villagers here all saw how you beat up my mother."

"If that's the case, then we have to pay enough silver according to this clause. It was clearly your fault that you didn't pay enough, so we decided to take appropriate measures."

When Madam Zhou heard this, she also stopped pretending to be lovely and pitiful looking, revealing a fierce and malicious look, Zhang Xiaohua saw that she could not hide her tail, and unhurriedly opened up the text, standing in front of everyone.

"Then take a good look at these words of yours. Does the clause clearly state how excessive your request is?"

There was one rule, and that was that every year on the 28th day of the year, they would send over the silver. At other times, no one was allowed to come to their house for any reason, and they were not allowed to greet them.

They were just commoners to begin with, yet they could actually be divided into such ranks. How laughable was that?

"Send the 28 taels of silver over. You're asking for 5 taels of silver. Are you asking my parents to sell their blood for that?" This year was already a drought, so the cost of collecting crops is not high. Aside from the taxes, we have very little rations, and we don't even have the capital to survive. How can we have that huge amount of money to send to your Zhang’s Old Mansion? "

The villagers present were all discussing animatedly, even though there were thousands of unwillingness in Madam Zhou, they did not know what to say.

"I see, so that's how it is. The old granny is really going too far, wanting this sum of money, isn't that equivalent to taking Zhang Xiaohua's parents' lives?"

"Forget it, everyone in the village knows who this old lady from the Zhang Family is, furthermore, the Madam Zhou is not someone easy to deal with, I have personally seen her hit Little Flower before, even if it's the enemy of both sides, they don't necessarily beat the children like this."

"That's right, it's not easy for this girl to get married into the Wang Family, but when she returns she becomes burdened with such a burden. If she marries someone, she can get free, but his parents will never be able to escape from this cage."

A few villagers started to whisper to each other behind their backs, narrating the incident of how Madam Zhou and the Old Granny did things all those years ago.

All of them were discussing about their hateful aspects, and the Village Chief was not clear about the truth, so Zhang Xiaohua saw everything, and knew that this farce was about to end.

Even though there was still some lingering fear in their hearts, their grandmother and the others had finally calmed down.

Wang Ergou saw the change in Zhang Xiaohua's expression, and couldn't help but start to admire this girl from the bottom of her heart. Although she seemed to be extremely carefree, she was more dependable than anyone else in an emergency.

Madam Zhou and the Old Granny seemed to be destined to fail this time, as they could only face off against the masses with their mouths full of words.

Wicked Granny's expression turned even worse as she subconsciously swung her hammer on Madam Zhou's back.

"Money loser, you're being too cowardly this time, did you get tricked by that bad girl?"

"Mother, today she was extremely aggressive, and had a glib tongue as well. The Wang Ergou behind her also did not look like she was someone to be trifled with, we are two women, Mother, it's best not to act rashly …"

Madam Zhou naturally knew how powerful this old granny was. Now, she could only swallow it down with her teeth broken.

"Even though it is written in black and white, we are family after all. Zhang Xiaohua's father was also born from an old woman who had spent so much effort to conceive ten months ago, how could sshe possibly do anything to this woman? Earlier, I saw Zhang Xiaohua take a silver needle and return it to her leg, then consecutively insert it multiple times into her leg. Furthermore, from what I know, Zhang Xiaohua has never understood medicine, so how could he possibly have learnt such a set of martial arts? "I think that her mother's legs must have been done by her own flesh and blood."

"Madam Zhou, is there something wrong with your head? Could it be that all those schemes have used up all of my intelligence in the past few years? " When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she did not get angry, but laughed instead. She placed her hands on her hips, looking like she was just watching a show.

The fact that it had nothing to do with him made Wang Ergou feel that it was interesting.

"Everyone knows the relationship between my mother and I, and you don't have any excuse to speak up for yourself. There really isn't a need for this. Even though I don't understand medicine in Zhang Family, being a girl and being a woman are two different periods of time. My mother-in-law can live by gathering medicinal herbs all year round, so she naturally knows to teach me some knowledge regarding the way of medicine. People all have improvements. Madam Zhou, your expression is truly laughable, you're depressed and pitiful. "

Originally, he had wanted to get himself into trouble, but who would have thought that he would fail to do so after stealing the chicken and picking up the rice. Madam Zhou was somewhat unwilling, she turned to look at Old Lady Zhou, only to discover that Wicked Granny was furious, so she could not say anything more.

It's just that now, I have to say more and do more wrong. Madam Zhou has really eaten her fill today.

Wicked Granny pushed Madam Zhou away in one breath, then shouted at Zhang Xiaohua again.
