They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 334 Bai Shi Goes to Ask for Silver
indeed so.

But why should Yang Xiaoan turn a blind eye to them? They don't deserve it.

When everyone in Quanshan Village saw that Yang Xiaoan had politely declined, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Before Han Fengshi could try to persuade her again, they all chimed in and shut her down.

Just kidding, if his family takes up three spots, wouldn't others have two less?

Why?

Madam Han was furious, and when she got back, she couldn't help but scold Liang Cuier again.

Why do you have to be so sarcastic and mean-spirited?

In the past few years, they were not as well off as your family. They struggled and were looked down upon and despised by your family.

But don't you understand such a simple truth as today is different from the past?

Instead of siding with the powerful figures, they push people away.

Liang Cuier felt very wronged.

How could she have known that Mrs. Xu was so petty?
She clearly didn't mean what she said. Besides, given what Xu did, was she the only one who thought and said the same thing? There are probably many others who thought the same thing behind her back.

It's just that the Xu family didn't know that.

Why are you targeting her and causing trouble?
It can only be said that the Xu family, being petty and smug, still harbors resentment towards her family for not lending her a helping hand in the past.

So even if this didn't happen, the Xu family would definitely find another reason to cause trouble.

My sister-in-law doesn't understand at all, and she doesn't believe me even when I tell her; she just blames herself.

Who exactly is her sister-in-law? She was so good to me before, how did she suddenly change?
The Liang family, both the eldest and second eldest, acted as if nothing had happened and did not sign up for the work.

Uncle Liang and his wife were disdainful. Let their family work for Xu Zhichun? Don't even think about it!
Unless Xu Zhichun asks them to take charge.

Although they didn't go, Zhang and her mother-in-law were quite jealous of other people's money and couldn't stand anyone in the village. They had argued with the villagers several times in recent days.

Granny Qin Qing, being well-informed, told Xu Zhichun this as a joke, leaving Xu Zhichun speechless.

Her aunt is getting more and more interesting.

The second wife wanted to come, but seeing that the first wife didn't, she didn't come either.

The third branch of the Liang family, the two branches have always had a better relationship and are of one mind. They are probably used to getting together to scold Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan, and are determined not to bow down to their evil forces.

Moreover, the Bai family forbade them from coming; they were absolutely forbidden from doing so.

Bai Shi now only wants to stay as far away from Xu Zhichun as possible.

No matter how foolish or troublesome Zhang may be, it has nothing to do with her, and she will absolutely not get involved.

They should stay far away, so that even if the eldest son's family has any dirty dealings with Xu Zhichun in the future, they won't implicate their family.
She was really scared.

After Bai was able to walk, she immediately went into the city to ask Master Zeng for money.

She's always kept this in mind and has never forgotten it.

Although Bai was greedy, she valued her reputation even more. She always did such things by resorting to underhanded means or hiding behind others and letting them take the lead. This was the first time she had ever asked for money so directly.

Ever since Bai fell from the second floor of the restaurant and was so badly injured, almost thinking she was going to die, she has changed.

Nothing is more important than money!

She spent over twenty taels of silver on treatment, almost all of which went into her savings from selling sweet potatoes and potatoes. She was furious. She was bedridden for about twenty days before she could barely walk a few steps. During those twenty days, her home was in complete chaos.

Her two sons were not yet married, and with her collapsing, there was no woman to do the work, and things were in complete chaos.

The food that the father and son cooked was even worse, and Bai was on the verge of a breakdown.

All she wants now is to save money quickly so that her two sons can get married. After all, she was really badly injured this time. Even if she recovers now, she will be half crippled and unable to do heavy work. Her bones ache even on rainy days, and she can't stand cold water because it hurts like hell.

She hated Zeng Mingzhu to death.

If it weren't for Zeng Mingzhu, she wouldn't have ended up like this, so she wouldn't be content if the Zeng family didn't give her any benefits.

When Master Zeng heard that the woman was from Liangjia Village, he was somewhat hopeful, thinking that if it wasn't Zeng Xiaoyan and her sister, then it must be Xu Zhichun.

It's never a bad thing for anyone to take the initiative to find him.

Master Zeng never expected that this person's purpose in coming to see him was actually for his daughter, Zeng Mingzhu.

For a moment, Master Zeng was somewhat dazed.

His daughter has been missing for a long time, with no news of her, and he hasn't heard anyone mention her in a long time.

I can't bear to mention it.

Unexpectedly, I heard it again today from a strange woman.

To my surprise, this person was there to collect a debt.

Master Zeng's heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Just moments ago, Master Zeng was lost in thought and feeling sentimental, but in an instant, he was struck by a bolt from the blue!
"You mean, the incident at Mingyue Restaurant that day was something Mingzhu conspired with you to send you there? The original plan was to arrest the Xu family and the eldest son of the Qi family?"

"Yes, yes."

"Explain yourself! What exactly happened?"

Bai was already feeling aggrieved, and his roar only fueled her anger. "Isn't it obvious? Miss Zeng is a virtuous wife, and Young Master Qi has taken a fancy to my nephew's wife. But my nephew's wife refuses to become a concubine and remarry, so Miss Zeng came up with this plan. As an elder, if I make a scene, I can immediately order her to forcibly take Xu Shi to the Qi family. Once she enters the Qi family, Xu Shi will never be able to leave. And Young Master Qi will be laughed at and made a fool of himself. He'll definitely feel guilty and have to be subservient to Miss Zeng from now on. Miss Zeng is the ultimate winner."

"But I never expected that things would turn out differently. For some reason, the Xu family didn't fall for it, but Miss Zeng did. I didn't know anything about it. I just barged in as we agreed, and that's how it happened."

"Who knew I'd be so unlucky later on? So many people were watching the spectacle, and when the officials arrived, the crowd was incredibly dense. Unfortunately, the railing wasn't sturdy, and I was pushed and fell off the building! Luckily, I survived. But I suffered terribly, lying in bed recovering for what felt like forever before I could walk again. The doctor said I'll be left with a chronic condition, and I'll never be fully recovered!"

"This is all Miss Zeng's fault. It wouldn't be right if you didn't offer some thanks, would it?"

Master Zeng was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he almost died of anger.

Okay, okay, I see, I see!

He had initially suspected that Xu Zhichun had plotted against his daughter, but it turned out that he had really brought it upon himself.

How could Mingzhu be so foolish!

Master Zeng wished he could grab Zeng Mingzhu and give her a good beating.

He glanced at Bai Shi with a dark expression, feeling that this person was disgusting and repulsive no matter how he looked at her.

"what do you want?"

"I don't want much, just one hundred taels of silver."

"Ha, you really dare to ask for that."
