Chapter 12
"I'm telling you, Yu Xue, if we don't give you any money today, we'll go to the clan to settle it, whoever let the dog be yours!"

Relying on the fact that her father-in-law is the patriarch, the Qin family spoke harshly with full confidence.

Cheng Xue was not angry either, she leaned against the door frame to watch her yelling, with a calm expression on her face.

Seeing this, Geng Shi, who was watching the excitement, let out an "ouch" and said:
"Don't worry about Qingnian's family. It's not a big deal. There's no need to go to the clan to solve it. Besides, just now Huizi's family reminded you to buy a dog at home. You had to go to the hospital. That's why the dog tore your clothes. Just the hem of the clothes A little bit, Auntie will help you sew, or don't..."

"Shut up, Aunt Xu, what does this matter have to do with you! You really treat yourself like a dish. The dog tore my clothes, who will pay if she doesn't?"

Geng Shi was furious, Qin Shi snorted and sneered, and Cheng Xue said again:
"Yu Xue, what are you going to do about this matter? My Nianzi was driven home because of your Huizi. If you don't mention this, don't you tell me about your clothes?"

"Explain what?" Cheng Xue asked back, "Remind me, you insisted on entering my yard. I told you that there is a dog in the house. If you don't listen to my advice, do you blame me?"

"Why, from what you mean, do you want to go to the clan to solve it?"

Cheng Xue shook her head and said lightly:
"Don't just go to the clan just because the patriarch is your father-in-law. Let's go directly to the officials. Make it clear that Li Qingnian lied about the number and that my man was beaten up. You can accomplish a lot in one fell swoop!"

Song Yu stood behind Li Hui, looked at the calm young daughter-in-law, and asked in a low voice:

"Is it your daughter-in-law who is talking?"

Li Hui nodded with a "hmm", pretending to be humble and said:

"The women in the countryside bickered and let the shopkeeper see a joke."

Originally, he was worried that Cheng Xue would be at a disadvantage, so when he ran home and saw that his teammates were coping well, he decided not to worry.

A man like him can't participate in the bickering between women.

Song Yu didn't think it was a joke. On the contrary, he was quite interested in Cheng Xue and wanted to see what she would do next.

Ordinary people are afraid of seeing officials, so they go to Lizheng and the patriarch to argue with them, and some of them dare not.

This little daughter-in-law not only took the initiative to ask for the economic officer, but also put the chief of the Li clan in it, which is really interesting.

Qin was so guilty of being bullied, her eyes fluttered around.

When he saw Li Hui in the crowd, he pointed to his broken clothes and said:

"Huizi, your dog tore the hem of my clothes, you don't care!"

Li Hui, who didn't want to show up, had no choice but to walk out of the crowd.

Without giving her a look, she went straight to Cheng Xue.

"It's not easy for me as a man to participate in women's affairs. How is Xueniang, what's wrong with it?"

Cheng Xue shook her head, took his arm, pretended to be intimate and said to Qin Shi:
"If you want to break up with me, I will accompany you at any time. Don't bother the patriarch all the time. You are so old. If you don't want to see the official, you can go to the town to find the pavilion chief, or the governor."

Qin shi stared at her, wishing that there were knives in her eyes and stabbing her hand.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just by saying that! It's only natural to pay back the debt, your dog tore my clothes into pieces..."

"Hey, since you said, 'It's only right and proper to pay back debts', then please hurry up and pay back the things you borrowed from my house."

Cheng Xue interrupted her with a smile, and leaned on Li Hui to settle the score:
"Last time your father-in-law had a cold and borrowed two bowls of millet from my house. Last time your son had a fever, he borrowed three bowls of white noodles from my house. Last time your sister-in-law Xiaoyue borrowed a catty of brown sugar from my house. The Dragon Boat Festival said that money is not enough , I borrowed five bowls of glutinous rice to make zongzi..."

When it comes to borrowing things from the Qin family, what the original chief wrote down was "sincerity".The reason and how much was borrowed are all clear, she just needs to repeat it.

The reason why she intentionally made intimacy with Li Hui was to maintain the persona and to anger the Qin family.

Like Dong Xu's, her natal family is from Wanghe Village.Calculating how many of them are young, Qin's is one year younger than Li Hui.She had been interested in Li Hui since she was a child, but Luo Hua wanted to be ruthless, so the Qin family targeted the original owner everywhere, and later often came to the house to borrow things and ask for things.

The original owner didn't know which tendon was wrong, what to borrow and what to give, many bad debts can no longer be raised, so Cheng Xue simply explained this year's debt clearly.

Seeing Qin's complexion getting worse and worse, Cheng Xue said "Ouch":
"Why, you haven't paid back the things you owe. Do you want to renege on the debt? That's not okay, I have to be an officer!"

"Who wants to renege on the debt? Don't tell me!" Qin's face was red with embarrassment.

Song Yu saw that "the general situation has been settled", waved to the workers pulling the cart, and said as he walked:

"Excuse me, Li Hui's family lives here, right?"

"Big shopkeeper? Why did you come here in person?"

Li Hui pretended to be surprised, pulled Cheng Xue forward, and said:
"Xue Niang, this is the shopkeeper who I told you was kind to me. Shopkeeper, this is my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yu."

Cheng Xue blessed her body slightly, and called people generously:
"Thank you for taking care of my husband, the shopkeeper. The little lady is very grateful."

"Your brother and sister are polite, you are a man who has the ability, otherwise you would not be able to work in the forest." Song Yu cooperated tacitly, and the two sides were very harmonious.

Two workers carried the four boxes on the cart into the courtyard, and Song Yu said again:
"Li Hui, there are a lot of miscellaneous accounts. You have worked hard in the past half month, and you have to work hard. If you have any difficulties, just go to the town to find me. The boss said that everything is based on the accounts, and no one should interfere."

These words were not only told to the Qin family, but also to the surrounding villagers.

All the nearby villages knew that the forest farm was run by the imperial court, and the "employee" mentioned by the big shopkeeper was naturally an official of the imperial court.

The common people have always been timid, and no one dares to find fault with the wind.

Qin's complexion was pale, looking at the shopkeeper who was completely standing on the side of Li Hui and his wife, she turned and left in resentment.

How could Cheng Xue let her go, and reminded her in a flat tone:
"Hey, since you said you won't renege on your debts, hurry up and pay back what you owe."

Qin Shi knew that she was showing off when she heard the words, but she couldn't be impulsive with the boss of the forest farm.

Gritting his teeth, he said "Got it", and walked away quickly.Seeing that the bustle was gone, the surrounding villagers dispersed one after another.Song Yu was in a hurry to go back to work in the town, so he declined the couple's invitation and made an appointment at another day.

The farce was over, the courtyard door was closed, Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and her ears were quiet.

She was not angry or annoyed during the whole process, but Qin's loud voice just now made her very upset.

"Is mother okay?" Li Yue asked as she came to the front, eyes full of anxiety.

Li Hui also looked at her earnestly. He still had lingering fears about what happened in the morning.

To be missed so much, besides the grandfather and grandma when I was a child, they are the only ones.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." After speaking, he asked Li Hui again, "Why did you come back suddenly? What accounts have to be done at home, does it matter? Will there be any trouble?"

They are not familiar with this place, and the clan is just a decoration, completely unreliable.

If people really want people to bury holes and set traps in the ledger, when Li Hui goes in, she will have money and she doesn't know where to get people...
