After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

Qiu Qingquan also wanted to ask Zhang Jinxiu for help, but he didn't know that the village chief's house was already in a mess.

Ye Yunqin was aggrieved and wanted to leave. Zhang Jinzhi finally brought her back, so naturally he couldn't let her go like this, otherwise the marriage would be ruined.

"Yunqin, I know you have been wronged. This is my sister's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. Can you please just stop walking?"

"Yes, Yunqin, it's not easy to come here. Our family hasn't fulfilled our duty as landlords, so why are we leaving in a hurry?" the village chief said.

Seeing Zhang Jinzhi coaxing her in a low voice, Ye Yunqin felt a little soft. She really liked Zhang Jinzhi.

His father was not optimistic about this marriage at first. Although Zhang Jinzhi was a scholar, his family status and family background were far behind hers. She was marrying at a low age.

Zhang Jinzhi had a good appearance. She fell in love at first sight and would not marry him unless she had it. It took a long time before the family relaxed and followed Zhang Jinzhi back home alone.

Zhang Jinzhi felt relieved when he saw her face relaxed.

His path to the imperial examination was not smooth. After he was admitted as a scholar, he failed several times in the imperial examination. He thought that he was full of knowledge, so his failure must be because he had no connections.

So when Ye Yunqin showed his favor to him, although he didn't like the other person's temper, he still agreed.

Without him, Ye Yunqin's father was the county magistrate and got involved in this marriage. Then his father-in-law would not be allowed to do anything for him as a son-in-law?

Zhang Jinxiu looked aggrieved. What did she do wrong today?

If Ye Yunqin shouldn't be left on the mountain, does she deserve to stay? People are selfish, and she must be looking out for herself in a critical moment.

If Ye Yunqin were to choose, she believed that Ye Yunqin would definitely choose herself.

Although Ye Yunqin was soft-hearted towards Zhang Jinzhi, she had not yet passed the sentiment in her heart.

He glanced at Zhang Jinxiu, who looked aggrieved, and said, "You also said that this matter is sister Jinxiu's fault. In this case, how can she, the person involved, stay out of the matter?"

Zhang Jinxiu felt even more aggrieved when she heard this. Ye Yunqin was holding on to her, right? It's obvious that Third Brother has already apologized, but he's still so unrelenting.

Everyone looked at her, and the village chief said: "Sister Xiu, apologize to your third sister-in-law. Your third sister-in-law is magnanimous and won't argue with you over such a trivial matter."

Although he loved his granddaughter Zhang Jinxiu, in his heart, his grandson's future was more important.

The village chief had already spoken, but Zhang Jinxiu could only apologize aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, third sister-in-law, this is all my fault."

"Yunqin, Jinxiu is young and ignorant. Since she has apologized to you, please forgive her for this." Zhang Jinzhi said.

When Ye Yunqin saw Zhang Jinxiu apologized and the Zhang family seemed to respect her, she said "Yeah" and the matter was over. She will get married in the future, and it is not good for her to make the relationship too tense now.

Zhang Jinzhi's marriage was saved, and the Zhang family was relieved. However, Shen Qing was not happy at all. She patted Zhang Jinxiu's hand distressedly to express comfort.

The father-in-law is now the head of the family, and her daughter has been wronged. As a mother, she can't do anything, but this thorn has been planted in her heart.

Zhang Jinxiu's life has been in dire straits these past few days. Ye Yunqin's attitude towards her has taken a turn for the worse. His words are always hidden in words and he wants to stab her from time to time.

Her daughter was wronged last time, and Shen Qing chose to stand by her daughter this time. She now sees that her son's new daughter-in-law has a nose that is neither a nose nor an eye. How can this new daughter-in-law be so noisy?

The atmosphere at home is not harmonious. The village chief is the first and the second eldest, but the eldest and second eldest are happy to watch the show.

Fortunately, the leave Zhang Jinzhi took this time was not long, and he would return to the academy in a few days. As soon as he leaves, Ye Yunqin will naturally leave too.

"Grandpa, mother, you can just send her here, we're leaving." Zhang Jinzhi waved his hand and helped Ye Yunqin get into the carriage.

"Leaving so soon? It's so rare to go home, why don't you take two more days off? I don't know when I can come back next time." Shen Qingdao said reluctantly.

The village chief smoked his pipe and pot, and glanced at her when he heard the words, "Women's opinion! A man should go out and see more, why should he stay at home? Jinzhi is going to study and strive for a future for himself. What’s the reluctance to give up?”

After talking to Shen Qing, he told Zhang Jinzhi: "Jinzhi, you should study hard when you return to the academy. You don't need to worry about family matters. Yunqin is a good child, and you should treat her well."

"I understand." Zhang Jinzhi nodded, opened the curtain and got in.

The carriage started slowly, and just after taking two steps, I heard a shout from behind: "Wait, wait for me! Don't leave yet!"

Ye Yunqin opened the curtain and looked back. When he saw Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lihua, mother and daughter, his face suddenly turned ugly. He ordered the coachman: "Quickly leave, don't get rid of them!"

No matter what it is, it will be bad if you bump into the Zhang family!

Can't you provoke her or hide?

The carriage suddenly accelerated, as if its butt was on fire. The Zhang family looked in the direction of the sound in confusion and saw Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lihua running over in a hurry.

Recalling the previous losses at the hands of Zhang Jinyue, Shen Qing was furious and stopped them, "What are you doing? Today we are seeing off our son and daughter-in-law, do you want to cause trouble too?"

"Auntie, you misunderstood." Zhang Lihua said, running all the way, both of them were red-faced and panting, "We are not here to cause trouble, we are here to collect debts."

"You want a debt?" Shen Qing looked confused, "What kind of debt do you want? No one in our family owes you a debt?"

Zhang Cuihua stamped her foot, stepped forward and pushed her aside, saying loudly: "We are here to collect debt from your new wife, and she still owes us twenty taels of silver!"

Fortunately, she was well-informed. If someone hadn't mentioned that Zhang Jinzhi and Ye Yunqin were leaving while working today, by the time she found out, the day lilies would have been cold!

I stopped doing any work and hurried down the mountain. In order to prevent Ye Yunqin from denying the debt, they returned home to get the IOU, and then ran all the way over.

Fortunately, I caught up and didn't let the twenty taels of silver I got go to waste.

"Zhang Cuihua, if you want to make trouble, find a suitable excuse. My wife is a daughter of the county magistrate, so she will owe you a mere twenty taels of silver?" Shen Qing sneered.

Zhang Jinxiu pulled Shen Qing's sleeve. She still remembered the IOU.

"Don't talk too much, or you'll be slapped in the face." Zhang Cuihua said, taking out the IOU, "This is an IOU written by your wife, how can it be wrong?"

"You'd better stop your wife, otherwise if she leaves, you as a family will have to pay for this money."

"Why? I didn't borrow this money. Besides, the IOU in your hand may not be true. If you want to collect debt, go after it yourself." Shen Qing said.

"Okay, your family doesn't even dare to give me my money, right? You wait to see me in court. By then your family's reputation as a scoundrel has spread. I wonder who dares to marry their own daughter. Your son still wants to Taking the imperial examination? Just dream!"

Zhang Cuihua was threatened many times by Zhang Jinyue with the deed. This time it was her turn to threaten the Zhang family.

The village chief's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly comforted her and said, "Cuihua, Jin's wife never told us about this. Now that she's gone, you rashly come out and say that Jin's wife owes you money. We can't do that either." Are you sure what you said is true or false?"

As for the IOU, he didn't recognize Ye Yunqin's handwriting, so how could he tell whether it was true or false?

"Can I still defraud you of money? Your Sister Xiu was there at that time. Where is Sister Xiu? You can call her out and ask her, and you will know." Zhang Cuihua said. Standing behind Shen Qing, Zhang Jinxiu couldn't help but flinch when he saw everyone's eyes gathered around him. She didn't want to come out originally, but it was all because of that bitch Ye Yunqin who insisted on naming her to come.

"Sister Xiu, is this true?" the village chief asked seriously.

When Shen Qing saw this, she quickly winked at her daughter. Anyway, the third daughter-in-law was gone, and as long as they didn't admit it, Zhang Cuihua and her daughter couldn't do anything to her for a while.

Zhang Jinxiu received her mother's signal and smiled bitterly in her heart. Of course she didn't want anyone else, but she and her third sister-in-law still had a confession in Zhang Jinyue's hands. This was something more deadly than twenty taels of silver.

She didn't dare to raise her head to look at her grandfather's face, so she lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Twenty taels is not a small amount!

Her admission made the Zhang family look ugly.

Even the village chief, who had always defended Ye Yunqin, was a little dissatisfied. It would be better if she left, leaving such a big trouble for his family.

The same goes for Sister Xiu, why don't you just admit it?" She actually admitted it like that.

"Village chief, did you hear this? Your granddaughter admitted it herself. When are you going to repay me the debt of twenty taels of silver?" Zhang Cuihua said proudly.

"Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount. If the family can't come up with it at the moment, you have to give us some time to collect the money."

"Okay, then I'll give you three days." Zhang Cuihua agreed readily this time, and she was afraid of pushing her into a hurry.

Anyway, the village chief's family lived in the village and couldn't escape. She could afford to wait for a few days.

Zhang Cuihua left in a hurry after saying that. She dropped her work and came here. If there wasn't enough firewood today, that bully Zhang Jinyue would starve her again.

The village chief walked up to Zhang Jinxiu and accused her, "Sister Xiu, I remember you were quite smart before. What happened now? You won't deny what she asked you? You actually admitted it like that."

Zhang Jinxiu cried sadly when he heard this, "Grandpa, do you think I don't want to do it? But, Zhang Jinyue has something to do with us, and it will be even worse to go to court. It would be better to just give these twenty taels of silver and just When the money is lost, the disaster is eliminated.”

These words made the village chief's heart skip a beat, "What? What other clues have you left in other people's hands?"

Zhang Jinxiu then told what happened on the mountain. After hearing this, Shen Qing cursed loudly: "Zhang Jinyue, a cheap girl, dare to do this to you? And Ye Yunqin, how can the county magistrate's family have a daughter and not even be able to take care of a cheap girl? What a waste !”

The village chief didn't say anything when he heard this. Since everyone had left, he couldn't hear it.

"Oh, you guys..." Before the village chief could finish his words, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Others followed, leaving Zhang Jinxiu where he was.

It happened that Qiu Qingquan came back, and when he saw the carriage leaving the village, he felt thoughtful.

Seeing Zhang Jinxiu standing at the entrance of the village again, he waved his hand, "Jinxiu, are you here specially to wait for me?"

Zhang Jinxiu was feeling sad when she looked up and saw Qiu Qingquan and said happily: "Mr. Qiu, are you on vacation?"

Qiu Qingquan nodded and walked towards her, "What's going on? Are there any distinguished guests in the village?"

Thinking of Ye Yunqin and Zhang Jinxiu, she felt unhappy. She twitched her lips and said, "My third brother is back, and he is bringing my third sister-in-law with him. If you had come back two days earlier, you could still see them."

"I see, that's such a pity." Qiu Qingquan said. Zhang Jinzhi studied at Bailu Academy and became a scholar three years ago. There was wine at the village chief's house at that time, but there was no news about him later. .

Looking at this situation now, is it like climbing a high branch?

He smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of woman can win the heart of my third brother."

"Her?" Zhang Jinxiu curled her lips, "She is the daughter of the magistrate."

Qiu Qingquan saw that her tone was not good when she mentioned this third sister-in-law several times, so she stopped asking and started talking about interesting things in the college.

As he talked, he turned to the examiner again.

"Jinxiu, do you know who Master Yang is looking for?" Qiu Qingquan stared at her with burning eyes.

Zhang Jinxiu shook her head, knowing that she knew, but she couldn't say it, or she couldn't say it directly.

She could still deduce the information about the examiner that her father told her, but Mr. Yang has been looking for the person for so many years and still can't find it. She can name the person with just one mouth, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, we have to take our time and guide Qiu Lang to discover it without leaving any trace.

Qiu Qingquan was not discouraged after hearing this. He could naturally think of what Zhang Jinxiu could think of, but Zhang Jinxiu's determination when he talked about Yang Wanli made him think that maybe Zhang Jinxiu knew.

"Jinxiu, I have something that I need your help with." Qiu Qingquan grabbed Zhang Jinxiu's hand and said.

"What's the matter? If I can help, I will definitely help." Zhang Jinxiu said.

Qiu Qingquan leaned over and told her his plan.

Zhang Jinxiu was delighted when she heard that she was looking for someone. She had originally planned to guide Qiu Qingquan to find out, but now Qiu Qingquan directly handed over the matter to her, which saved trouble.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, I will definitely help you handle this matter."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qiu Qingquan touched her head.

"It's not hard for me to help Qiu Lang with things." Zhang Jinxiu said. Now she is only happy when she is with Qiu Lang.

On the other side, when the Zhang family came back from seeing off Zhang Jinzhi, Shen Qing found that Zhang Jinxiu hadn't followed, so she hurriedly went out to look for him.

"Why are you anxious? Maybe Tan Wan hasn't come back yet." Xiao Hong said.

"Of course you're not in a hurry if she's not your daughter!" Shen Qing said as she ran out.

"Father, look at her! What's wrong with what I said? Sister Xiu is such a big person, how can she be lost in the village?"

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." The village chief glared at her and returned to his room with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Jinxiu and Qiu Qingquan stayed sweetly for a while, and then were called away by Shen Qing who came over.
