"You dare!" After Qi Xiaohua shouted this, she tried to snatch the note from Zheng Juzi's hand, but was pushed away by Mu Xiaoyun.

Although he didn't know what his daughter was talking about, he couldn't continue to suffer this loss. "If you don't believe me, let's go to the police station together now!"

"My orange is so badly burned and you're pouring cold water on the child. This is murder!"

The crime escalates.

Zheng Juzi quietly gave her mother a thumbs up and threatened: "If my cousin has a mother in prison, he won't have to go to college in the future. He can just come back and farm!"

Old Mrs. Zheng is not afraid of the fifth son's wife going to jail, but she cannot accept that her most beloved grandson cannot go to college.

Especially since Zheng Juzi was holding the hospital receipt and speaking so confidently as if it were the truth, she didn't dare to get angry.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'd like to see who will do all the backbreaking work in your family without me!" Qi Xiaohua was afraid without the old lady's support. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth but kept a hard mouth.

"You don't have to worry about that, Aunt Wu." Zheng Hanqiu took out a handful of money from Zheng Guixiang's pocket, counted out four one-dollar bills, and shouted to the onlookers, "I'll pay four dollars to hire four people to help clean our house inside and out and wash our clothes and bedding. Is there anyone willing to do it?!"

Four dollars? Then everyone has one dollar!

Nowadays, the people in the countryside have enough food to eat, but there are too few opportunities to make money, and it is difficult to save a few dollars in cash no matter how hard they try.

It was just a small task of cleaning the house and washing clothes and bedding, but immediately everyone who was watching rushed to do it.

In any era, there is no more realistic driving force than money. Those who want to earn this money crowded around Zheng Hanqiu to say good things and curse Qi Xiaohua's family.

"What nonsense! What nonsense! What a waste of money!" Old Mrs. Zheng, who was pushed away by the crowd, was quietly pulled back by Qi Xiaohua, who was feeling guilty.

Zheng Guixiang, who originally thought his daughter was making trouble, supported her again after hearing her mother's shouting, "Didn't you say that it had to be you? Now my daughter can handle it herself, she can do it!"

Four dollars is not a small amount of money. It is unheard of to hire someone to do housework in the countryside. Zheng Hanqiu quickly selected four people and assigned them tasks on the spot. Then he reminded them, "You can only get the money after you finish the work. If you can't finish it today, you can do it tomorrow. If you still can't finish it by tomorrow afternoon, I won't pay you."

Thinking about making money, the four people who had finally grabbed the job had no time to complain and immediately went to work separately, not noticing that it was a child giving them orders.

Walking up to her, Zheng Juzi quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Are you rich? Do you know how much you can buy with one dollar in this era? Are you just wasting money like that?!"

Zheng Hanqiu whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, Dad has money."

Zheng Juzi was dissatisfied: "Miss, do you know that it is 87 now? You don't have to be so frivolous even if you have money. I want mom to give us living expenses so that we can manage the household ourselves in the future. How can parents feel at ease if you spend money like this? What if you recruit another crazy person?"

When you have no money you really feel hungry. In the past you didn’t feel much if you didn’t want to eat, but the experience of being in the hospital and being hungry and having nothing to eat was too miserable.

Zheng Hanqiu explained with a smile: "Didn't Aunt Wu say that she took care of us? If we don't let more people see it in time, how will the villagers know how she 'took care' of us?"

"If we don't do something that everyone can see, once today's incident fades away, she will still be the hero who raised us."

Zheng Juzi understood: "I see, you are the best at this kind of thing."

Zheng Hanqiu raised her chin proudly: "If you don't understand, just learn from your sister."

Zheng Juzi was not willing to be outdone: "Sister is so powerful, how come she doesn't even know how to use the Minor Protection Act? I have to come back to solve it."

Zheng Hanqiu was also annoyed, and his face hurt when he spoke excitedly: "Is it my fault? It's that old woman who is really unreasonable!"

What could a little girl like her do when faced with an unreasonable shrew like Old Lady Zheng?

Zheng Juzi still looked down on him.

Zheng Hanqiu gritted his teeth and said, "If I weren't too short now, I would have given her two bigger ones!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Zheng Juzi quietly squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, when we grow taller, we will put a sack on her."

"Oh my God, the dust is almost covering me. How long has it been since you last cleaned the floor?" said the aunt who was sweeping the floor, waving her hand.

Zheng Hanqiu counted carefully on his fingers and said, "It's been almost five months. Ever since mom went to the farm, no one has cleaned the house."

The aunt who was sweeping the floor: "Then why don't you sweep it yourself? The dust is too choking."

Zheng Hanqiu pointed to the tools his aunt brought from her home and explained, "We wanted to clean, but Aunt Wu took all our brooms and dustpans to her house."

Then he said that he was a good kid who loved cleanliness and added: "Their house is clean. My sister and I help them clean it every day."

The aunt who was sweeping the floor was stunned.

"Is there no fire in your kitchen? It's all scaled up from all the cigarette ash from the past." The sister-in-law who works in the kitchen feels that it's not easy to make this money.

Zheng Juzi shook her head and said, "Aunt Wu doesn't allow us to cook at home, so I always cook at their house."

"You cook?" The sister-in-law who worked in the kitchen was stunned. "Isn't your aunt taking care of you? Why do you have to cook?"

Zheng Juzi said with a childish expression, "Of course. Aunt Wu said that if you eat her food, you have to work for her, otherwise you will starve to death."

The sister-in-law who works in the kitchen... is there such a term? Didn't the fourth brother pay the fifth brother's family for their wages?

"Why are there a few pieces of glass missing from your house? Aren't you cold when you sleep at night?" The lady who was cleaning the windows couldn't help but wonder.

At that time, not every household in the countryside could afford glass. Even though they belonged to someone else, it was still painful to see so many pieces missing.

Zheng Hanqiu said: "It's cold, so my sister got sick from the cold."

"You guys are too careless to take care of it. You broke so many pieces." The lady who was cleaning the windows was wiping them diligently.

Zheng Hanqiu said: "It's not broken, it was Aunt Wu who took it down to her own home."

The glass cleaning lady...

Washing bedding is not an easy job. Without a washing machine or spin dryer, it takes two people to wring it out after washing. Although it costs money, Mu Xiaoyun is there to help.

The young foreign daughter-in-law who was doing the laundry asked, "Auntie Mu, isn't your family going to be a millionaire soon? Why are the sheets and quilt covers all torn? And the bedding inside is dirty too?"

Mu Xiaoyun's face turned black. These were not things her family had bought at all. It was obvious that the good things had been replaced.

While washing clothes, the young wife was even more puzzled and asked: "You have already paid someone to do the work, why don't you buy two sets of decent clothes for the children? I see that Hanqiu and Juzi are -"
