In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

"You can take the copper coins to the village chief later!"

Liu recalled Xiaopang's walking posture and felt that the child was very pitiful as he was beaten so badly.

"Okay, I'll also deliver the money I owe to the village chief."

It's always uncomfortable to owe money. If Liu didn't want to be conspicuous, she would have wanted Lin Anru to pay off all his foreign debts long ago.

Lin Anru pulled out a small money jar from under the bed, took out three strings of silver from it, plus the hundred coins handed over by Liu, put them in a small basket, covered it with a cloth to conceal it, and went out.

The village chief's home is in the middle of Yamada Village. He met many villagers along the way. They greeted him warmly, but they looked at the basket in his hands curiously.

The villagers who had some sense at most just looked at it twice, and Lin Anru just pretended that nothing happened. Those who had no sense not only asked questions but also started to dig it up. Lin Anru tried to evade the question if he could, but refused immediately with a fierce face if he couldn't.

The attitude of the village chief's family was exactly the opposite of the enthusiastic villagers. They were not very welcoming to Lin Anru's arrival, especially the village chief's wife, whose face was full of annoyance.

But even though she hated him, she still had to be polite. She took the man to the lobby, gave him a glass of water, and then left.

Village head's wife: (￢_￢)

Xiaopang: (＾v＾)

The two met behind the door, and tacitly did not say anything, just pretending that the other was not the village chief.

The two stood behind the door for a while before the village chief appeared.

"Uncle, this is 100 coins. It's the money that Xiao Pang brought for the sugar yesterday. We didn't know that Xiao Pang stole it from home, and he has already used some of the sugar. Consider this as the money we paid for it."

Xiaopang didn't take much sugar, just one pound at most, and one hundred coins were enough.

Upon hearing this, the village head's wife behind the door grabbed Xiaopang's ear.

You loser!

Xiaopang felt pain, but dared not make a sound and could only plead silently.

"That's enough."

The village chief only took part of it and left the rest untouched.

Lin Anru pushed the money back and said, "This money is what my daughter asked me to give you. The extra money is Xiaopang's "life-saving money."

The fat boy, whose ear was being pulled by his grandmother, immediately opened his mouth wide, and then his other ear was also pulled by his grandmother.

After knowing that his grandson took the candy to save people, the village chief had already exposed the matter. However, he finally accepted the money because it was a waste of money.

"This is the money you lent me before. Can you count it?"

The village chief frowned: "You still want to take the exam, aren't you just trying to cheer me up?"

Lin Anru shook her head.

"If it's not you, then take the money back and return it to me slowly when you become successful."

The old lady behind the door immediately became anxious and wanted to go out and collect the money on the table first.

When Xiaopang saw that, he immediately pulled the person back and at the same time stretched his head over so that she could continue pulling his ears.

"Uncle, you know, I can earn a lot of money by copying books. My daughter knows medicine and can also help support the family. Now the money I earn does not have to be handed over to the government, so I can save a lot of money. I plan to pay off all my foreign debts first, and then save money for studying."

"Nonsense!"

The village chief shouted.

His voice did not scare Lin Anru, but it did scare the old lady who wanted to come out to get the money. After hesitating for a long time, she finally retracted her feet to stay with her grandson.

"You are not young anymore. How many years will it take to save enough money after paying off your foreign debts? An Ru! Only when you are young do you have the opportunity to make mistakes. When you are older, you will have fewer opportunities."

The village chief tried to persuade him earnestly, but Lin Anru had made up his mind and would not change it.

"Uncle, I know what's going on."

"You have a fart!"

The village chief slammed the table, stood up and pointed at his nose, wishing he could pry open his head and take away the thoughts in his mind.

He lived to such an old age, and only one scholar appeared in the village. Was it easy for him? Huh?

"It's because I'm old that I have more concerns!" Lin Anru calmly explained to the angry village chief: "I have been in foreign debt for more than ten years, and my wife has suffered for more than ten years."

The village chief didn't take it seriously: "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. What's the big deal about enduring this little hardship? Good fortune is still to come!"

"It is said that being debt-free brings ease and happiness in life. Her health is not good, and we cannot let this invisible burden weigh on her all the time." Lin Anru continued: "If I succeed, it will be fine. If I continue on this path, Boyu and Shiyu will be like their mother now. They are so young, and the burden will crush them."

"The older you get, the less courageous you become. Why do you have to worry so much? I have your uncle to back you up."

Lin Anru was helpless: "It's not that I'm timid, it's that I've matured and have thought things through more comprehensively. Besides, the people in the village were willing to lend me money more than a decade ago, but will they still lend me money today more than a decade later? I can't rely on your money if I don't save it myself."

More than ten years ago, he was still a teenager, and those who lent him money were mostly teenagers or older friends from the same village.

At that time, they were either not married yet, or married but had no children, or had only one or two children. The pressure of life was not that great, so they just borrowed the money.

Now they have to raise children and take care of the elderly and young children. Even if they want to lend him money, don’t they have to consider their family?

"Whatever you say, huh!"

The village chief took the money and then sent the guest away with a sullen look on his face.

When Lin Anru was about to reach the threshold, the village chief's voice came from behind him: "I'll take the money and keep it. When you need it, come and ask me for it."

He was angry after all, and he turned back to the house without waiting for Lin Anru's answer.

When Lin Anru came out, he happened to meet the village chief's wife. Unlike when he came, this moment the village chief's wife finally stopped looking at him with indifference. Even after he greeted her, she nodded in response.

The village chief’s wife: Now that he doesn’t owe my family money, he looks much more pleasing to the eye.

When he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Xiaopang and waved to him to come over.

"Sister Shiyu said that we should gather together when we have time to share the money!"

Xiaopang's eyes lit up and he immediately ran away, not even bothering to ask his grandfather for the "life money" that Lin Shiyu had given him.

After paying off a large sum of foreign debt, Lin Anru walked with a little more ease. Now the only debt left was from the head of the village. After paying off the debt, all the money they owed would be paid off. From now on, all the money they earned would truly belong to their family.

Liu was also very happy. Although there was some space in the jar, she felt more at ease.
