How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 146 Even if you give them money, they won't dare to accept it.
"Shut up." Granny Tian glared at Zhao Shi again before looking at Da Ni's grandmother and saying, "Do you want to find Da Ni a bigger one, a smaller one, or one the same age as Da Ni?"

"A smaller one, please. A smaller one is cheaper, and Da Ni can manage it."

Granny Tian also thought it would be better to hire someone younger. "Alright. Here, we usually give ten taels of silver for hiring a son-in-law. I'll have my eldest daughter-in-law give you nine taels. How does that sound?"

"Alright. Da Ni, quickly kowtow to your Grandma Tian."

Da Ni knelt down immediately. "Grandma Tian, ​​I will definitely repay you in the future."

"No need, just live a good life from now on. Grandma Dani, do you want to take the money now, or wait until you find someone to come and get it?"

"Find a good person to come and collect it; I'm afraid I can't protect it."

Granny Tian was also worried about this, which is why she asked her when she wanted to collect it. "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and get nine taels of silver."

Zhao did not want to go.

Snapped!
Granny Tian slammed her hand on the table again. "What? You think I can't boss you around?"

The Zhao family dared not delay any longer.

After she took the silver, Granny Tian put it away. "You can just come to me for it later."

"Thank you, thank you so much," said Da Ni's grandmother, wiping away her tears. "I'll repay you in my next life, even if I have to be your ox or horse."

"No need, no need. Second daughter-in-law, go and cook. Your aunt has come all this way." It's one thing for them to mooch meals from the Empress Dowager, but it wouldn't be right for them to bring relatives along. Whenever relatives come, Granny Tian always cooks for herself.

"Yes!" Zhang replied and went off to do her work.

Da Ni's grandmother quickly said, "No, no, we're leaving now."

"That won't do!" She'd already spent nine taels of silver; what was a meal short? "If you just leave like this, the neighbors will say I can't even afford to feed my relatives. Who told you that Da Ni was going to be sold to a place like that?"

"Thank you. I heard it from Da Ni's second grandfather. He told his grandson that after I die, he will sell Da Ni to pay for his schooling. His grandson said that girls are worthless, but he said that they are worthless if sold to a respectable place, but they are valuable if sold to a shady place."

“My husband, my son, and my daughter-in-law never offended him when they were alive, so why did he do this to our daughter? I rushed up to argue with him, and he kicked me to the ground.”

“I went to find Da Ni’s great-grandfather, and he said that Da Ni had caused the deaths of his third brother and his nephew, and that it would be good enough if Da Ni didn’t have to pay for their lives.”

“My husband and my son both died of illness, how can you blame it on Da Ni?”

“I went to the clan chief, but he said it was a family matter and he had no right to interfere.”

“I went to the village chief, and he said that he could talk to them, but he could only manage them for a while, not forever.”

"I had no other choice but to beg you. I'm so sorry for the trouble. I'll repay you in my next life, even if it means being your slave."

Such relatives and clansmen are worse than none at all. "No need. You should choose a good son-in-law for Da Ni. Once she has a son-in-law, Da Ni will be married. Once she's married, they can't just sell her off. Da Ni, you have to stand up for yourself."

"Yes." Da Ni nodded heavily. "I will hold our family together."

"Sweetie. If they continue to bully you, go to the authorities and report them."

"Yes. Grandma Tian, ​​I'll pay you back when I have money."

"My dear child, Grandma doesn't need you to pay me back. You just need to make a living. Let me tell you, besides being diligent, you also need to be careful with your money..."

In the afternoon, when Zhao's father saw that her mother had returned looking dejected, he asked, "Does Er Ya not like Da Ni?" Zhao was the second child.

"Don't even mention it." Zhao's mother recounted the whole story. "I'll never get involved in anything for your second daughter again. When I left, your second daughter told me not to go looking for her anymore, saying she didn't have that much money to add to the scheme."

Zhao's father hadn't expected this either. "Why don't wealthy families use relatives as servants?"

"How would I know? I'm not from a wealthy family." "...You've saved Da Ni's life."

"I never expected that my daughter would end up paying for it. Do you know how hard it is for my daughter to save up that much money?"

"...Didn't Chunhua find a good husband?"

"What's the use of being good? All the betrothal gifts have been returned."

"...Are you thirsty? Let me pour you a bowl of water."

That evening, when Qian Dashan returned home, he saw his wife sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) clutching her chest. Qian Dashan was startled. "What's wrong?"

"I did something stupid today. I..."

Qian Dashan was speechless after hearing this. "Serves you right, see if you dare to make promises to others so easily in the future!"

“If I agree to this again, I’ll be a pig. My nine taels of silver! My two acres of land! My nine taels of silver…”

"Stop nagging. You don't lack these things now." When Wei Chenglin and his wife came, they brought Zhao a lot of thank-you gifts.

“How can it not be bad? I can’t even earn nine taels of silver a year. My nine taels of silver! My two acres of land…”

Qian Dashan: "..." Will he hear these two sentences every now and then for the next ten years?
Meanwhile, after separating from Zhao's mother, Grandma Dani took Dani to find a matchmaker. Grandma Dani searched for matchmakers all over the neighborhood.

Soon, everyone in the surrounding villages knew about it.

Apart from the families of Da Ni's great-grandfather and second great-grandfather, everyone else praised the Qian family for their kindness and for not forgetting their poor relatives even after becoming wealthy.

In Nangou Village, Guo Youcai was serving meat to his youngest son when he suddenly saw his eldest son return. Guo Youcai's eldest son was named Dazhuang, and Dazhuang lived up to his name, being as strong as a young calf.

Guo Youcai wanted to hide the meat and vegetables on the table.

He had just put down his chopsticks when the plate of meat was handed to Guo Dazhuang.

Guo Dazhuang grabbed a few slices of meat, threw them into his mouth, and said while eating, "I'm going to Liujia Village to become Ma Dani's live-in son-in-law. Do you agree? If you don't agree, I'll throw your precious youngest son into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Guo Youcai and his second wife, Lin Xiuer, immediately became agitated upon hearing this. "You dare?!"

bump!
Guo Dazhuang kicked the table over. The food on the table fell to the ground.

"What don't I dare to do? When I was a kid, didn't you all want to throw me into the mountains to feed the wolves? If I hadn't been careful, I would have died long ago. Tell me, do you agree or not?"

Guo Youcai lowered his head guiltily.

Lin Xiuer wanted to deny it. But it was useless to deny it. "What's the use of our agreement? With your reputation, even if you offered them money, they wouldn't dare to take you."

"Then you don't need to worry about it." There's no such thing as a thief who's been stealing for a thousand days and a guard against thieves for a thousand days. If he doesn't break off his relationship with these two, they'll sell him to a shady kiln sooner or later.

Guo Dazhuang pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. "Put your fingerprints on it. After you put your fingerprints on it, you can get rid of me."

Neither of them wanted to.

Guo Youcai: "You are my eldest son."

Lin Xiuer: "Your dad said just the other day that he should be able to find you a wife in two more years."

"My dad said that in two years he'll sell me to a black kiln as a strong laborer, right?" Guo Dazhuang pretended to grab his father's and stepmother's precious youngest son.

"Before you sell me to the black kiln, I'll throw this little brat into the mountains to feed the wolves."
