The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 53 The Shameless Two Shrews
Mu Niangzi was completely stunned by Li Chili's words, she opened her mouth wide with disbelief on her face.

"You, how can you say that? I borrowed you 80 taels of silver two days ago. You said that your family was seriously ill and asked for money... You also said that you would return it to me after a while. You actually say that now, you... you are, are you trying to be lazy and not pay back the money?"

Mu Niangzi was so angry that her lips trembled and her fingers trembled. She couldn't believe that someone really planned not to pay her back the money. She obviously didn't say so when she borrowed the money!How can she do this?unacceptable!
Li Chili dodged his eyes for a while, as if he was a little guilty, but immediately puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense! I have never borrowed money from your family to talk about repaying it. Could it be that you are poor and crazy, so you want to use this money?" A despicable and shameless way to blackmail me? Bah! Delusion!"

"You're talking nonsense! You obviously borrowed money from me, a total of 80 taels of silver, how could you..." Mu Niangzi remembered that she was about to cry, and looked at her husband helplessly.

Father Mu also realized that Li Chili Pepper wanted to be lazy and not pay back the money, so he said with an ugly face: "Mr. Zhang Li, my wife said that if you borrowed it, you must have borrowed it. It is only natural to pay back the debt, and you can't do it." This kind of lightning strike!"

"Ha, do you have any evidence to prove that I owe money? Have I written you an IOU? Who saw that you lent me money? Did you see it?" Li Chili shouted at Old Mu with his hands on his hips.

"What's the matter? Brother Mu, why did you come to my house early in the morning?" Zhang Zhongliang, who had been out of the house, came back temporarily. Seeing how many people were in the yard, he couldn't help being surprised.

Seeing Zhang Zhongliang coming back, Father Mu hurried forward and said, "You came back just in time. Your daughter-in-law borrowed 80 taels of silver from my house a few days ago, but she didn't admit it today, and said that we blackmailed her. You come to judge." !"

Mu Jinxi looked at what happened in front of her with cold eyes, her eyes swept over Zhang Zhongliang, and she twitched her mouth, like a dog of a feather.If he was different from this Li Chili, he wouldn't let his wife go to her house to borrow so much money for no reason!

Zhang Zhongliang looked distressed, his eyes wandering, "This, this... Brother Mu, you said that we borrowed money from your family, you have to show the IOU first!"

"You!" Papa Mu's eyes widened, he took a step back, and looked at the person he had known for decades in disbelief.

Li Chili waved his hands triumphantly and said as if to chase away flies: "Let's go, don't come here in the future, you think we are easy to bully, and you ask us to pay back the money for no reason, are your Mu family poor and crazy, really shameless! "

"What a shameless one!"

A crisp and clanging sound slammed down, shocking the people present, and following the sound, it turned out to be the thin and frail Mu Jinxi.

Seeing that it was Mu Jinxi, Li Chili, whose heart was trembling just now, immediately became confident again.

"Xiaoxi, you are a girl, don't worry about the adults' affairs, let's take care of your son first! Let's go, because we are fellow villagers, I don't care about today's affairs." Li Chili has a magnanimous look, treacherous, greedy and selfish in his triangular eyes.

As long as the Mu family members are driven out, the 80 taels of silver will belong to their family, and the Mu family members will never have the courage to ask for money again!Hey, if I had known this, I would have borrowed 100 taels on the day, anyway, they still have it.

Mu Jinxi took her parents and walked out. Before leaving, she turned her head and showed a deep smile to Li Chili and said, "You don't know, the silver in my house is marked on it, and it was Zhang Zhang, the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Restaurant, who saw it personally." Look at me getting it up. Now let's go to other houses to ask, and you can think about whether you have borrowed money from our family, and whether you want to return it intact. I see it for the sake of our fellow villagers. I gave you this chance."

After he finished speaking and left without looking back, Li Chili and Zhang Zhongliang were taken aback for a moment, glanced at each other, dropped their things in a hurry and rushed back into the room.

Then Mu Jinxi left five families in a row, and there were five families who borrowed their money, Zhang Zhongliang's family, Cuihua's family, Zhang Dexiang's family, Mu Bingyang's family and Mu Tong'an's family.Among them, the Cuihua family borrowed the most, 100 taels!When she heard it last night, she didn't know how to react.

She really wanted to pry open her mother's head to see what was inside. She thought that 100 taels was a modern 100 yuan, so she just lent it out casually, which really pissed her off.However, Cuihua Niang is such a person, and she has a fight with Li Chili. If she wants to get the money back from them, I'm afraid it will take a little thought and effort.

Sure enough, as she expected, after the threats from Mu Jinxi, the other three families asked for the money back even if they were reluctant to the end, but the Cuihua family, just like Li Chili’s family, only opened their mouths to pay back the money Cuihua Niang started to play tricks on this matter, and finally shouted out the whole village.

Mu Jinxi didn't bother to tangle with her, so she went straight to the village chief's house.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, the village chief was so angry that he couldn't speak, because of Cuihuaniang's thick skin, he was shameless.

This Cuihua girl is usually a person who likes to take advantage, which one in the village didn't let her take advantage of it?But those are trivial things, for the sake of harmony in the neighborhood, everyone can bear it.But this time she actually didn't admit it when she borrowed a whole 100 taels of silver!
This is not a matter of taking advantage, but... It's no different from stealing money!

Then the village head couldn't help complaining about Mu Niangzi.

The same is true for the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, how could she lend so much money to others casually?Even if their family has money now, it's not such a big way, so he really doesn't know what to say.

The village head really wanted to let go of it, because the two wives were easy-going people, and it would make people dizzy and annoying if they started arguing.But when they made trouble with him, he is the village chief, so he can't do it anyway...

well!Is it easy for him to be a village chief?Too miserable!The village chief wailed in his heart.

But what should we do now?Both Li Chili and Cuihuaniang admitted that they had borrowed money from Mu Ankang's family, but Ankang's wife insisted that they had borrowed the money, and Cuihuaniang even borrowed 100 taels!But she didn't ask for an IOU, and no one saw it when she lent money to others...

If the public says that the public is right and the wife says that the old woman is reasonable, what should he do?In fact, he believed in Ankang's wife, and shopkeeper Zhang also said that he gave the Mu family a lot of money, so the Mu family had money to borrow.Moreover, everyone knows Ankang's daughter-in-law's character, and it is impossible for her to say such panic.

But how can he prove that Cuihua Niang and the others are lying?
