The old woman subconsciously asked: "How much silver?"

Qi Lele curled her lips: "One hundred taels."

Everyone present took a breath, even Li Zheng cast a surprised look.

You know, this is a hundred taels! One dares to ask, and the other dares to borrow, but I am really not afraid that the other will not be able to pay back!

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but poked her head out and scolded: "You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, opening your mouth is a hundred taels! Who are you fooling! With that little bitch's hoof, you dare to lend her a hundred taels?"

"Why don't I dare to borrow it? Doesn't Sister Lan Qiu's family have land? I'm not afraid of them running away!"

"You are borrowing money from others just to get their land? How can there be such a bad-hearted person like you!"

Qi Lele raised his eyebrows: "What else? Am I doing charity? You elders, who are my direct relatives, refuse to save me and don't give out a penny. How can you have the face to scold me?"

Ms. Zhao was speechless and opened her mouth to curse, but when she saw those cold eyes and remembered what happened on the day of the rally, she didn't dare. He was such a evil star! He couldn't be offended by scolding!

The old woman came back to her senses, sat down on the ground, and began to cry: "What evil has our old Du family done! Marrying such a daughter-in-law and giving birth to such a prodigal son! Taking away my old Du family's property

Everything is ruined! How can I explain to the third child when he comes back?"

"Oh! You still know that your son Du Xiucai is not dead yet? Then if you bully his wife and daughter like this, when he comes back, will you follow the saying in the book and kill your relatives for justice?"

The old woman trembled suddenly: "You, what are you talking about! Do you know that my third child is not dead?"

"Oh, I don't know very well. I just didn't see him when I was down there. So I was wondering if Du Xiucai might not be dead yet." As if he was afraid it wasn't scary enough, Qi Lele added slowly.

One sentence: "If he really went down there, how could he watch his wife and daughter being bullied like this?"

It was clear that the sky was clear and the sun was bright, but everyone felt a chill on their backs, and there seemed to be gusts of cold wind blowing.

"You, you, don't act like magic all day long! Who are you bluffing?"

"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Look, I, Sister Lan Qiu, are not afraid. What are you guilty of?"

The Du Dalang brothers looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. Among the sisters-in-law behind them, except for Zhao who just made a few noises, no one dared to speak up.

Qi Lele crossed her arms: "So, which one of you will return the one hundred taels for Sister Lan Qiu?"

There was silence in the yard, no one answered.

"Then sign the contract."

When Li Zheng saw this, he didn't say much, turned around and entered the house, followed closely by Qi Lele and Du Lanqiu. How can the people of the Du family be so willing, but you push me and I push you, but no one dares

Come out and stop him.

The old woman was furious and shouted: "How dare you! If you change this place's surname today, I will crash to death here!"

Li Zheng was anxious: "What are you doing?"

Everyone in the Du family seemed to suddenly wake up and immediately surrounded the old woman, pretending to persuade her, wiping their tears and criticizing her.

Du Lanqiu's eyes were red. It was like this every time. He threatened her with death. If she didn't obey, it would be unfilial!

Just when Du Lanqiu was about to go all out to make a fuss with the old woman, Qi Lele gently held her hand: "Sister Lanqiu, if you can't pay back the money today, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the county seat to ask you

There are a few people with loud voices who go down the street every day shouting about what your Du family has done."

"If I remember correctly, how many children in your Du family are still studying? I just don't know if anyone will be willing to vouch for you when the time comes to take the scholar exam."

The sound at the scene suddenly stopped.

Xie Zian said calmly: "It's not necessary to be so troublesome. Mr. Zi Zhuo is quite prestigious. I will pay him a visit some day. Mr. Xie has always been disgusted by such unkind and dishonest things, and he should be widely known.

Tell him."

With Xie Zian's support, Qi Lele was confident and said word by word: "Do you think you are the only ones who can threaten people? Believe it or not, I will make sure that your Du family will never have a scholar again!"

Snake hits seven inches!

The old woman wanted to say something more, but she was dragged away by her sons and daughters-in-law.

Li Zheng was amazed and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only shake his head and let out a long sigh.

Du Lanqiu had already burst into tears: "Siya, why are you so stupid! You offended them for me today, and they may do something in the future! Don't your uncles also want to study?

Of?"

Qi Lele subconsciously looked at Xie Zian. Just now, her mind was filled with excitement. When Xie Zian spoke up for her, she couldn't help but say harsh words, but she forgot that she also had scholars in her family.

It's all because those people from the Du family are so disgusting!

He was obviously full of momentum just now and was able to control people, but now he looked like a frightened little daughter-in-law. Xie Zian couldn't help but secretly laugh and reassured: "I'm here, everything will be fine."

Qi Lele breathed a sigh of relief and turned to persuade Du Lanqiu: "You heard it too, it's okay, don't cry. After this, the Du family should not bother you for a while."

Du Lanqiu nodded, silently wiped away his tears, and kept this kindness in his heart.

After the contract was signed, Xie Zian talked to Li Zheng about buying the foundation for the house. Li Zheng was not surprised, and he was still vaguely happy. After all, it was a good thing that such a family was willing to live in Shangxi Village for a long time, wasn't it?

?

Qi Lele took Du Lanqiu to the courtyard and said, "I am making up nonsense about your father. Don't take it seriously."

Du Lanqiu smiled and said: "I know!"

Qi Lele added: "I was interrupted just now, and I haven't even given you any money yet."

"Don't worry, your big house is there, I'm not afraid of you running away."

Qi Lele also laughed: "I'm going to make a new meal today. When I'm ready, I'll send it to you. I'll also bring you the money along the way. I'm afraid the Du family will stop you halfway."

"Okay." Du Lanqiu said, "Thank you, I won't say much more. If anything happens in the future, just remember to have me."

Qi Lele nodded in agreement. She was not a Holy Mother and would help people whenever she saw them.

Not long after, Xie Zian and Li Zheng came out, planning to go together to see the foundation of the house and where it would be suitable to expand.

Du Lanqiu said goodbye to them, but saw no one along the way. When she got home, looking at the messy house and the angry man, she sneered.

After Qi Lele returned home, she first went to see Du Qiuliang and the other three, and saw that they were grinding sesame paste. It looked pretty good, so she didn't bother her and went to make hot dry noodles by herself.

In the middle of the journey, Xie Zian walked in and said, "Madam, could you please spare some money so that I can sign the contract for my husband?"

"How much did you buy?"

"Measured four acres of homestead land."

Qi Lele: "..."

"I originally wanted to buy more, but I'm afraid my wife will scold me, so I'll just stick to four acres for now. When I have more money in the future, it won't be too late to expand."

Listen to this! What kind of Versailles remarks are these from a dandy?

Qi Lele asked: "Do these places have to pay taxes every year?"

No wonder Qi Lele asked this question, she learned from Si Ya's memory that the Qi family had to pay a lot of taxes every year, including housing taxes.

Xie Zian said: "It's not necessary to pay it every year. It will be collected when transferring the ownership."

That’s not bad!

What a fart!

Even if you don’t pay tax, you can’t just buy it!

Xu Shi saw Qi Lele's expression of concern, and Xie Zian asked again: "I have seen you repeatedly wanting to make the vineyard and watermelon field bigger. Do you have any other plans?"

Qi Lele nodded: "I have an idea and I need a lot of grapes and watermelons."

“So I thought I’d just expand it a little more so that it would be easier to do something later.”

Qi Lele laughed angrily: "Do I still want to thank you?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

What else could Qi Lele do? Of course she could only wash her hands and go to the room to get money for him! She had to comfort herself in her heart. Fortunately, she didn’t have to pay taxes on growing fruits and vegetables, otherwise she would want to do something else in the future.

I really need to think more about it.

If the homestead is expanded to another four acres, the yard will be even larger, and a lot of grapes and watermelons can be grown, which will indeed be beneficial in the long run.

Suddenly I feel more and more looking forward to what the yard will look like when it is completed.

"The grape planting season is coming soon, is it too late?"

Xie Zian said: "There is enough time. They will come over tomorrow to re-measure. After the drawing is completed, they will first circle the vineyard and watermelon field. Then they can plow the land and work at the same time without conflict."

"That's good." Qi Lele said, "Go back quickly and accompany me to Du's house later to deliver the money."

"good."

After Qi Lele packed the hot dry noodles and sesame sauce, Xie Zian also returned, and they went to Du Lanqiu's house together.

Du Lanqiu's family was not far away from them. After the separation from the Du family a few years ago, in order to avoid the Du family, You Qingyun built a small yard at the other end of the village farthest from the Du family. The yard was not big, but

Enough for both mother and daughter to live on.

When Qi Lele arrived, the courtyard door was open and Du Lanqiu was cleaning the courtyard.

"Sister Lan Qiu."

Du Lanqiu threw the broom into the corner and came over with a smile: "You are here, come in quickly."
