Quick Transmigration: The host is super good!
Chapter 97 The Unjust Death of a Little Peasant Girl 5
"What? Xiao Cui, is what your grandma said true?"
Shen Yuan nodded woodenly, and now the condemning gazes of the whole family fell on her.
"Why are you so bold? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by a beggar?"
"Xiao Cui, you are wrong this time, admit your mistake to your mother."
The third aunt and the younger aunt no longer defended her. Only the little ones looked at her with envy. It was in the town. They wanted to go there too. Sister Xiao Cui didn't even take them...
"Get out of here, everyone. I'm going to teach her a lesson today. Let's see if she dares to be so bold again in the future!"
The old lady shouted loudly, making people's ears buzz. The third aunt and the young aunt hesitated and did not move. Shen Yuan spoke first: "Grandma, do you still want to hear how I picked up the silver?"
"Silver, what silver?" Everyone's attention was instantly diverted.
Chen Yuan quickly began to describe (make up) the story in vivid detail, drawing everyone's attention to the act of picking up the money. Even the old lady unknowingly lowered her raised arm.
Seeing that she explained the details so clearly, Mrs. Ding finally believed it, but her reaction was beyond Shen Yuan's expectations.
"After losing so much silver, that person must be very anxious. Third wife, go and call your husband back, take the silver and wait for the person who lost the money to come and return it to him."
"Okay, Mom. I'll go right away." Aunt San hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran out of the house.
Old Mrs. Ding had a gloomy face. She glanced at the little ones and finally landed on her eldest granddaughter's slightly surprised face. She said earnestly, "Our family is poor, but we can't lose our dignity. We can't take things that don't belong to us. Do you understand?"
"I know~" the little ones answered in a confused voice.
Chen Yuan was quite surprised.
For ordinary farmers, five taels of silver was definitely a huge sum of money. In that era, two copper coins could buy a meat bun, and one tael was equal to five hundred meat buns that they usually couldn't afford to eat. She suspected that the entire savings of the Ding family now did not have five taels of silver.
But this old lady, who seemed shrewd and mercenary and was usually stingy, decided to return it without blinking an eye.
The words "high character" were slapped on the old lady's gloomy face, and Shen Yuan was almost confused.
After a while, Uncle Ding came running back. After listening to my mother's explanation of the whole story, he took the silver and went to the town without any reluctance.
Seeing that Third Aunt and Little Aunt had no intention of stopping him, Shen Yuan suddenly felt that his whole family was made up of good people, and he was the only bad one.
Uh...it's very sour.
[Host, this family is pretty good, right?] 295 seemed to have seen her dilemma and came closer to her. She was a small ball of light, but she made herself look sneaky.
[Yeah, that's right.] Chen Yuan admitted generously, but then changed the subject, [But the old lady's mouth is too poisonous, she still needs to be treated.]
295 was silent, suspecting that the big devil was frightened by being scolded.
[What is the host going to do? ] It asked worriedly, [After all, she is the wisher's grandmother, you can't beat her up, right? The wisher will be unhappy if he sees it. ]
The satisfaction of the person making the wish is related to the points. Although the big devil doesn’t care about this, it does!
[The hermit has his own clever plan.] Chen Yuan replied calmly. No matter how the system tried to persuade her, it could not get an answer from her. In the end, it annoyed her and locked her in the small dark room again.
295: ...
This is what the big devil would do!
Later, Mr. Ding and his wife returned home and learned about this. They expressed strong support for their mother's decision. Chen Yuan thought that the matter was over.
Anyway, there is no so-called owner of the lost money. If they can't find the person, they can always use the money to improve their family's life with peace of mind, right?
But this time she was wrong again. After the family had dinner, Uncle Ding finally came back. He was smiling, but the money was gone. He proudly said that he had returned the money.
Shen Yuan had a wooden face, listening to him stutteringly describing the process of finding the owner, and wanted to punch him in the head.
When he saw someone looking down with a sad face, as if he was looking for something, he would approach them and start a conversation, asking them if they had lost any money. He would also take the initiative to say that he had found some money, and even tell them the amount...
Well... it's very...
Most people would be greedy after hearing this, right? Oh, except for the Ding family, they are not ordinary people.
O__O “…
So she went through so much trouble, and almost got beaten, just to give some money to an unrelated person? It was really chilling.
He wanted to loudly expose the man's lies, but looking at Uncle Ding's silly smiling face and the proud look on the faces of his family, Shen Yuan finally silently swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Forget it. She didn't want to argue with such fools, so as to avoid wasting time and energy. Not only did she not convince them, but she would also be considered as someone who was reluctant to part with the money!
But seeing the family like this, Shen Yuan didn't dare to take out the snacks openly. The next day, when the adults were not at home, he quietly gave the snacks to the children, making them smile from ear to ear. They kept calling her "sister" all the time, and they were so happy.
Who would have thought that the big villain also had the potential to be the leader of the kids. 295, who was finally released, smiled like an auntie beside him.
"Sister, let's go catch some mud toads. I'll roast them for you. They'll be so delicious!" As Mu Tou said this, he began to drool and quickly sucked it up.
"Loaches are delicious, sister. I'll catch some loaches for you!" Hu Zi pushed his cousin away with his butt, came in front of her with a flattering face, and smiled with two missing teeth.
"Nonsense! Toads are the most delicious. What's so good about loaches? They're dry and have little meat on them." Mu Tou, relying on his taller stature, wanted to get his seat back.
Hu Zi was a little bigger and refused to give in, so the two brothers pushed and shoved each other and started fighting. Well, you could say it was just playing, the two kids still had some sense of propriety and neither of them killed anyone.
Three-year-old Liangzi and four-year-old Xiaohua ran to Chen Yuan, hugged his thighs, and complained in a baby voice: "Brother is fighting, it's not good~"
"Tell grandma, scold!"
"You two little brats, you dare to tell on me? Do you believe that your brother will beat you up?" The two older brothers stopped and showed their fists to their younger siblings angrily.
Unfortunately, it had no deterrent effect. With their sister as their big brother, the two little ones fought back incoherently: "Bullying the kids, you stinky brother!"
"Sister, beat the mud!"
Mu Tou and Hu Zi didn't dare to really fight them. Seeing that threatening them didn't work, they started arguing with them.
One child is equivalent to three hundred ducks, four children...
Chen Yuan's head was about to explode from their noise, so he quickly stepped out to stop them, "Stop! I don't eat mud frogs or loaches. I have something else to do, so you guys can play by yourselves!"
