Scholar's Sweetheart

A woman from the neighboring village also came over, "What's going on?"

The long-tongued woman naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to tell him about what had happened that day.

"Oh my god, it's actually such a person."

"Exactly, who would dare to marry someone like him?" "Aren't you afraid of getting screwed and getting killed?" One of the women glanced at Soong Xintong with disdain and spat on the ground. "I don't even know how I earned the money."

"That's right, I heard that she was previously working in the city's slush room. Who knows what kind of place she was …"

The more she said, the more unpleasant her words became. Soong Xintong's face darkened. She still wasn't going to marry her! What a bunch of crap!

"Sister …" Big Treasure held Soong Xintong's hand, looking at her worriedly.

Little Treasure was so angry that his face turned red. He immediately jumped to the front and threw a few small stones at them. "You're all talking nonsense! My Big Sis isn't the bad guy! You're all bad guys! Bad guys!"

"No problem." Soong Xintong pulled Little Treasure back and then walked to the other side with her two brothers. With her sharp eyes, she saw Senior Lee driving the oxcart over. She directly carried the basket on her back and walked towards the oxcart.

Senior Lee helped put the basket back into the car, "Soong Family girl, you arrived first. Sit in this good seat!"

"Thank you, Senior Lee." Soong Xintong supported her two brothers up the oxcart.

"Sister, they said bad things about you." Little Treasure huffed and puffed.

Big Treasure was also so angry that his eyes were red. "They're too annoying. They're all bad people."

"It's fine, sister is fine." Soong Xintong also got on the car. "It's good as long as we know they're talking nonsense. Sis, I'm not afraid of slanting my shadow so that even if they wanted to, they wouldn't lose a single piece of meat."

"But they …" Dabao was more sensible and knew that their words would not be good for Sis' reputation. "Grandma Qiu said that Sis would not get married if the bad guys talked about her."

"It's fine. Since I can't get married, I'll accompany you." She naturally knew how powerful the rumors were, and she also knew that Grandma Zhang and the others must have purposely misinterpreted them. But now, she couldn't do anything, because if she were to fight with them, then the rumors would become even more intense.

The only way was to rely on strength.

One day, she would be so rich that these people would have to worry about her.

"Senior Lee, why did you pull this ox-cart with everyone? I wonder if the three siblings are not only the nemesis of our family, but also notorious ones as well?" A woman walked over. "If you pull her, we won't be riding on your oxcart."

Soong Xintong stared coldly at the leading lady in flowery clothes. After looking carefully at her unkind face, she remembered that she was the Ye Guihua who had once caused trouble for her. No wonder why she kept provoking her.

"What are you looking at? What I said was wrong?" Ye Guihua puffed out her chest and threatened Senior Lee, "Senior Lee, we have eight people here. Think about it carefully."

Soong Xintong didn't look at Ye Guiying. She only looked at the short woman who had lent her the silver taels. She kept her head down without saying anything, as if she didn't want to speak up for her.

Fortunately, he did not add insult to injury. It was likely that the people who were able to lend the silver to the Soong Family back then did not have a very bad heart.

"Do you like to sit?" Senior Lee snorted, he didn't want to give them a ride.

"Hey, you damned old man. You're an idiot if you don't want to earn money right?" At most, I'll give you two pieces of money for the car. " Ye Guihua said proudly.

"You think I care about you!" Senior Lee was also a proud person.

When Ye Guihua saw that it was of no use, her face turned pale. "Don't you dare regret it!"

Soong Xintong looked at her coldly, then she turned around and said to Senior Lee, "Senior Lee, I'm taking care of your oxcart today." Then he said to the women, "Since Aunt Ye doesn't want you to ride on the ox-cart, we will leave first."

"Alright, then I'll leave now!" Senior Lee shook the ox-rope and drove the cart towards the main road.

Soong Xintong looked at the few upset women standing in the shade of the tree and complained to Ye Guiying. Her lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.

How deep could the friendship between a group of long-tongued women go?

After returning to the village, Soong Xintong gave Senior Lee twenty copper coins. Even though he didn't want them, she still gave them all to him.

Soong Xintong carried the basket on her back and went home. After resting for a while, she took out the silver jar and started to count the money.

Yesterday there were sixty-one or two hundred and fifty pieces of paper in the house.

Today, he had earned two hundred and six dollars, and he had spent eighteen hundred and twenty more coins.

After the decrease in income and expenditure, there were still forty-five, two hundred, six hundred and thirty pieces of money left.

From the box, Big Treasure took out a book with a detailed account of the family members who had borrowed money and the amount of money they had paid back.

Five taels of Xie Family, paid back.

Second Aunt Hee's family was three taels.

Village Head Wan's family was quite large.

Soong Xintong thought about it for a while. Who exactly was Village Head Wan's eldest son? She still couldn't recall who he was. Could it be that he was lent by Abba back then? Otherwise, it wouldn't be written on this account book.

Liu Dafei's family was two taels.

Madam Guo had already paid three hundred gold coins in one tael.

Cui Tianzhu's house.

There were still a few more lines, but they were all crossed out. They were probably the same ones that sold their family's land.

Soong Xintong looked at them and realized that the families that had borrowed money had some connections with Abba. They had borrowed the money out of respect for Abba, but who would have thought that Abba would lose his health and the three of them would not be able to repay him.

The three hundred pieces of information that the Guo Family had given must have been gathered by the original owner a few hundred times already, so he would be able to return it.

"Sister, are you going to return the money?" Big Treasure and Little Treasure surrounded him.

"Right." Soong Xintong counted out nine hundred taels of silver and hid the remaining thirty-five hundred and nine hundred and thirty taels of silver, "The silver here is all ours, there will be more and more of it in the future."

"In the future, fill all the jars." Big Treasure helped bury it.

"Hmm, only the three of us know about this silver. We can't tell anyone else about it, okay?" I can't tell you if I give you the candy, okay? " Soong Xintong said solemnly to Xiaobao.

"Nope." Little Treasure loudly replied, "We have sugar at home."

"Yes, we do." Soong Xintong rubbed their heads, then stood up and walked to the neighboring room. She divided the five kilograms of candy she bought into five and a half, packed them all together, and took them towards Second Aunt Hee Family with a thank-you gift.

"What's with the sugar? Take it back to Big Treasure and the others to eat." Second Aunt Hee disagreed and wanted to return the candy to Soong Xintong.

Soong Xintong shook her head, saying, "Auntie, quickly take it. I still have to return the silver from other families."

"Can you find the way?" Second Aunt Hee asked.

Soong Xintong smiled awkwardly. She was really unfamiliar with the roads in the village.

"Accompany Xintong there. Guo Family and Cui Family are both bad, so don't let Xintong be bullied." Hee Family old lady said to Second Aunt Hee as she walked out from the house.

"Fine, wait for me." After Second Aunt Hee had put the candy inside the house, she took out a pair of leaf fans and walked out. "Come, where should we go first, we're near the house of the village chief?"

"I'll listen to Aunt." Soong Xintong followed Second Aunt Hee towards the Village Head's house.

Hee Family old lady drooped her eyelids, and said to Hee Family old man who was by her side saying: "Old man, this Soong Family is about to rise."

Old He did not stop what he was doing. "What does it have to do with us?"

The old lady from the Hee Family swept his gaze over her and knew that he would say this. She shook her head and walked towards her granddaughter Hee Baiyun's room.
