The whole village is starving, but I have a full warehouse of meat in the mall

Chapter 8 When she has money, she must buy a carriage

What are these two guys doing in Jiangjia Village?
Jiang Wan threw away the leaves and stood up: "Dahe, come with me to the Jiang family!"

Last night, the second and third sons wanted to go to Jiangjia Village to collect debts. After she objected, she thought the two guys would keep quiet, but she didn't expect that they actually ran over secretly.

Everyone in Jiangjia Village has the surname Jiang, and they are one family for three generations. How could they allow two guys with the surname Ye to go there and act wildly?

Jiang Wan and Ye Dahe didn't even have time to eat, and rushed to Jiangjia Village under the scorching sun at noon.

In the original body's memory, Jiangjia Village was really not far away. The original body would go back to her mother's home every now and then, but Jiang Wan felt it was so far away. Her legs could not walk anymore, and she had not seen a tile of the Jiang family yet.

Life was really not easy for people in ancient times. They had to rely on their own two feet to travel, and they even began to doubt life.

When she has money, she will definitely buy a carriage.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly. She wanted to buy a big quilt one moment, and a carriage the next. Her thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was cruel...

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally saw a village.

Jiangjia Village has a larger population than Hehua Village and looks richer. The only thing they have in common is that this village also lacks water and the rice fields are dry.

Jiang Wan walked to the door of Jiang's house familiarly.

Before she even entered, she saw a scene that made her eyes tear up.

Ye Erhai and Ye Sanshu were actually hung upside down under a locust tree, exposed to direct sunlight and with no water to drink. The two children's lips were so cracked that they were bleeding, and their faces were extremely pale, as if they would faint at the next second.

"Erhai!"

"Sanshu!"

Ye Dahe rushed in angrily.

When the two saw their eldest brother coming, they thought he was here to save them. When they looked up, they saw Jiang Wan walking in with a sullen face. They were so scared that their faces turned even paler.

A long time ago, there was an incident when my mother was bullied by the Jiang family. They came to help her, but in the end, they were beaten up by her instead.

In short, no matter how bad the Jiang family is, mother will not allow them to cause trouble for the Jiang family.

But they were so angry that they came here secretly. It didn't matter if they couldn't get the twenty taels of silver back, but they had to make the Jiang family suffer a little...

But it seems that they have messed up everything. Will my mother be more on the side of the Jiang family...

“Mother Dahe, you’ve come just in time!” Old Madam Jiang walked out of the house with an angry look on her face. “These two guys from the Ye family are such bastards! They actually came to our Jiang family to steal chickens. The neck of the last big hen in the Jiang family was twisted by these two bastards. This hen lays one egg a day, thirty eggs a month, which can be exchanged for dozens of copper coins, and it’s gone just like that…”

Jiang Wan looked at the two tied boys. They didn't dare to look at her, which meant that what Mrs. Jiang said was true.

Mrs. Jiang said confidently, "This chicken is a great contributor to our Jiang family. Your nephew can study only because of the eggs it lays! I don't want more, just five taels of silver, give it to me now!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan laughed.

The Jiang family is really interesting. Yesterday, they beat the original body so hard that he was bleeding profusely and died from excessive blood loss. Today, they tied up the two sons of the original body. Now they even have the nerve to make such a huge demand!
Even though food is in short supply now, the big hens on the market are not sold at such a high price. Five taels of silver can buy fifty chickens.

Also, Jiang Huai was able to go to school thanks to the subsidies provided by his aunt over the years. What does this have to do with this hen?
Since we have to settle accounts, let’s settle them one by one! “Dahe, go and untie the rope.”

Jiang Wan spoke coldly.

Mrs. Jiang immediately said, "Don't let these two bastards go. We must teach them a lesson. Let's see if they dare to come to our Jiang family to steal things again in the future!"

Ye Dahe stood there, not knowing who to listen to.

Jiang Wan looked over with a cold look: "Why, what I said is no longer effective?"

Ye Dahe immediately walked towards the big locust tree, quickly untied the rope, and helped his two younger brothers sit on the ground.

"Spoiling a child is like harming him. If you spoil them like this, these two bastards will get into big trouble sooner or later!"

Old Madam Jiang looked like an experienced person. "In my opinion, they should be tied to trees and starved for a few days and nights, and they will naturally behave themselves..."

Jiang Wan said coldly: "This is my own son, I will educate him myself, it is not the place for outsiders to point fingers."

Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang frowned. Why did she feel that something was wrong with her daughter?

Jiang Ersao stood at the door of the main hall and said, "Aunt, Mom is your biological mother, how can she be an outsider? You are really hurting Mom's heart by saying this."

"From the moment my eldest brother smashed my head yesterday, I am no longer a member of the Jiang family." Jiang Wan's mouth was filled with terrifying coldness. "It's just a big hen, but you have to pay five taels of silver. I have never seen any family cheat their daughter who married out like this!"

Old Madam Jiang said sternly: "This big hen is not worth five taels of silver, but it can lay eggs. How come the eggs it lays for ten years can't be sold for five taels of silver?"

"Okay, let's say it's worth five taels of silver." Jiang Wan opened her lips, "Let's not talk about the old accounts. Just last year, Dahe's father died in battle. The total amount of silver was thirty taels. Big brother borrowed it all. After deducting the five taels of silver that the big hen had to pay, there were fifteen taels left. When are you going to return this money to me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ersao was furious: "You gave us these twenty taels of silver. When did you say you would pay it back?"

Jiang Wan smiled: "It is only natural to pay back debts. I don't mind going to the county magistrate to seek justice, but I don't know if Jiang Huai will agree to the Jiang family going to court to embarrass themselves for just twenty taels of silver."

Jiang Huai is a scholar of the Jiang family and the best student in Jiangjia Village. Now he seems to have become a student and has a good chance of passing the imperial examination to become a scholar.

The original owner firmly believed that this nephew would definitely become a high-ranking official after graduating from high school, so he subsidized his mother's family at all costs, hoping to get some benefit from this nephew. However, he did not get any benefit from this, and was instead beaten on the head by the Jiang family, and died.

Because Jiang Huai is a scholar, the Jiang family is particularly concerned about their reputation.

Going to court over twenty taels of silver would make Jiang Huai lose all face in the town school, and Old Lady Jiang would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Aunt, are you crazy?" Jiang Ersao was incredulous. "If you dare to go to court, we Jiang Huai will no longer recognize you as our aunt!"

Jiang Wan sneered: "I don't care whether he admits it or not. I just want to ask one question: when will the fifteen taels of silver be returned?!"

"You shameless money loser, how dare you come to the Jiang family to ask for money? Who gave you the face?" Mrs. Jiang was instantly furious. She picked up a piece of firewood and hit him. "I will beat you to death, you shameless bastard. You have grown wings and dared to go against me..."

Ye Dahe rushed over angrily and stood in front of Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan avoided the firewood and said coldly: "Since the old lady insists on tearing her face apart, let's meet in court. Dahe, Erhai, Sanshu, let's go to the town to sue the officials!"
