Chapter 8 The Bold Little Zhang
"Okay, if you have the ability, you can also take out some private money. Don't think that I don't know that you keep a small coffer, and you can make up for the difference in the end." Bai Zhengfeng looked at her mockingly and said.

"There are a total of twenty-five cents and forty Wen here." Mrs. Zhang counted them with her purse and said.

"Well, plus your five taels, you can figure out what to do with the boss's remaining two and a half." Bai Zhengfeng said as he gave him all the money.

"Second brother, third child, please help me. You also know that I am not as strong as you and go out less often. Let's see if you can make some for us." The boss Bai Shugen said with a begging face.

"Brother, you also know that we haven't separated yet. Didn't we give all the money to mother when we came back? Even if we have private money, only a dozen or so copper coins are used by the child's mother to buy needlework. Really help I can't miss you." Bai Shuxin replied with a sad face.

"What about you, second child?" Bai Shugen asked awkwardly.

"It's not the harvest season yet. In the past two years, paying off the debt, repairing the house, and getting married, I don't have much room here. But the nephew's exam is a big deal. Let's pay [-] Wen." Bai Shuye sighed Said.

"Didn't Xiaowen give it? Isn't it counted as our second room, why did you pay it back?" Xiao Zhang said angrily.

"That has nothing to do with you. If the second child agrees, you can take it out. The rest is up to the boss and you two." Old Zhang replied with a sidelong glance at her.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow, I can't carry so much money with me." Seeing the unkind expression on Old Zhang's face, Mrs. Zhang had to bite the bullet and agree.

The next morning, after Bai Jingwen got up, she went outside to exercise and stood on the nearest highest point, looking at the rolling mountains and forests that could not be seen at a glance.Although the highest point of the mountain at the foot is only 600 meters, the mountain range is not small, and the top cannot be seen from the highest point, as if it has been inserted into the clouds. I think this is just the edge of a mountain range.

When going down the mountain, it was already daylight, and Bai Jingwen walked around the mountain. There were only pheasants, hares and wild boars, but there were no wolves or other ferocious beasts.The only thing that makes her happy is that there are a lot of favorite mushrooms and fungus, no wonder the children go up to the mountain to play and adults never care.

But I can go up the mountain to find some things in exchange for some small money to spend. Since I said I have no money, I can no longer spend the money in the open.

"Xiaowen, where did you go this morning? I thought you were too tired to get up yesterday." Bai Shuye asked in surprise when she saw her come back from the outside.

"Oh, I learned some moves from the guards when I was in the mansion, and I happened to go out to exercise every morning. Whether it's self-defense or physical strength, it's not bad." Bai Jingwen shook her arms and replied.

"Well, the meal is ready, go wash it up and wait for you to eat." Bai Shuye replied with a dark face, wondering if anyone in the village would dare to marry someone so powerful.

Bai Jingwen really turned a blind eye, she didn't want to be a little Jinyang.Walking to the table, I saw that the breakfast was very simple, sorghum rice soup, and a cold bean salad is not bad in the farmhouse.

"Xiao Wen, do you have any money? After you left yesterday, your grandma asked us to ask for it again. Your father promised to give five hundred cash, but there is no money at home until the harvest season." Xiao Zhang saw Bai Jingwen asked after sitting down.

"It's gone. After the redemption, all the leftovers will be given to grandma. But didn't I get back a tael of silver every month? How could the family not even have five hundred cash?" Bai Jingwen put down her chopsticks hand back.

"Yes, even though the house was repaired in the spring, what about the money for these three months? You can't buy all the clothes and food, right?" Bai Shuye asked with a downcast face.

"No, wasn't my natal nephew engaged a while ago? The dowry was too thin and the other party refused, so I had to take the money from the family." Xiao Zhang replied.

"How much?" The white leaf slapped on the table and roared angrily.

"Me, five taels." Little Zhang shrank her neck in fright and replied.

"You are fine, five taels? Mrs. Zhang, I gave you nearly ten taels of silver since you entered the door, plus the pension money that Xiaowen brought back over the past year and threw it to her parents. At least 25 taels, it still doesn't count. The money I earn outside and the income from the field.

What did I tell you when I handed over the money to you? I said that when the children are old enough to use the money, you can save some money.Now you do tell me the money is gone, and that's how you give me housekeeping. "Bai Yeye stood up and stared at Xiao Zhang with red eyes and asked.

"Wow, you scoundrels are not allowed to scold my mother." Tian Xiaocheng came up and patted the white leaves and cried.

But Bai Shuye didn't even look at him. He stared at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Tell me, where did the money go?"

"Mother, tell me." Tian Xiaolan hid behind Xiao Zhang and pushed her and said.

"Except for the five liang you gave as corvée last winter, I bought four acres of high-quality land from my mother's house and now my elder brother is planting it." Little Zhang replied.

"Hehe, how much is the rent?" Bai Shuye said with a sneer.Looking at Bai Shuye's state, Bai Jingwen knew that the honest man was being anxious, and it was even more frightening to start this way, but she didn't intend to persuade Xiao Zhang to go too far.

"No rent." Mrs. Zhang replied calmly.

"Your Zhang family really gave birth to a good daughter. Half of the dowry was deducted. Now you have four acres of good land for nothing. Let me ask you whose name is written on the land deed."

"Mine." Little Zhang raised her head and replied without guilt.

"Go home now and give me the land back. If you don't want to come back, don't come back. I don't have the ability to fill this bottomless pit."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Bai Shuye and pulled the two children back to the house with a determined face.

"Remember to keep the land deed, since I bought it with my money, you can't take it away." Bai Jingwen saw her expression was wrong and shouted.

"You, hum." Xiao Zhang went back to the house after finishing speaking.

Bai Jingwen turned on her mental power, and within a five-mile radius, she was under surveillance.After returning to the house, Mrs. Zhang took out about two taels of silver and two land deeds from a small box under the bed and put them in his arms.Then I put all the valuables in the bag and started to pack the clothes of the two children in the back room.
