Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!

Hearing Liu Cui's arrogant tone as if she was giving alms, Jiang Chuyue almost laughed out of anger. An ordinary family of four would only use one or two taels a month, but Liu Cui was so different that she blurted out five taels.

Could it be that they are taking advantage of Jiang Chuyue and the others?

"Grandma, this..." Jiang Chuyue was very angry, but she had to continue playing the role. Otherwise, if she disrespected Liu Cui, she would be in trouble.

"Grandma, you've looked at the family account book. There are only a dozen taels of silver on the account. We really can't afford this money." Xiao Yihao also spoke. The couple did not communicate with each other, but tacitly pretended to be aggrieved in front of everyone and acted as the weaker party.

As expected, some aunts with more aggressive personalities in the crowd immediately started cursing.

"You want so much money, are you going to keep it for He Hua to support a stranger?"

When these words were spoken, everyone laughed. The incident between He Hua and Zhang San happened not long ago and everyone had not forgotten it yet. When someone mentioned it, they couldn't help but associate it with some other things.

"That's not right. There are two men earning money to support the family, so why do we have to ask Jiang Meizi for money?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Hua never expected that someone still remembered this incident, and she immediately wanted to tear their mouths apart.

But the more she did this, the more people felt that she was angry and humiliated because she felt guilty.

Liu Cui's face also darkened. Although He Hua explained the matter between Zhang San and He Hua, Xiao Li and Liu Cui still felt a thorn in their hearts. It was okay if no one mentioned it on weekdays, but once someone mentioned it, they couldn't help feeling ashamed.

He pulled He Hua, who was arguing with the others but couldn't win, and said angrily, "I'll settle the score with you later."

"I know that your grandson has not had an easy life, but I am so old now, I might die one day. My health is getting worse and worse, so it's time for me to prepare for my own funeral. A good coffin is not cheap, but it will surely bless my descendants with prosperity in the future, so..." Jiang Chuyue understood what Liu Cui said here.

The old people were not shy about talking about coffin supplies. In their eyes, being able to prepare a good coffin supply for themselves in advance was a very respectable thing, so Jiang Chuyue and the others were probably really going to have to pay for it.

After Liu Cui finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. It was only natural for the younger generation to prepare coffins for the elders, not to mention that Liu Cui was still the elder after all.

Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao looked at each other subconsciously, knowing in their hearts that this person was bound to be taken advantage of.

But even if he had to pay, he couldn't do it without knowing why. Jiang Chuyue thought about it for a while, "Grandma, you are still in good health now. You will surely live longer than the Southern Mountains."

You should still flatter when it is due.

"Since you want to buy funeral supplies, we, as the younger generation, will naturally do our best. I just wonder if you have any funeral supplies that you like?"

Seeing Jiang Chuyue give in, He Hua felt there was hope and was about to speak, but was suppressed by Liu Cui.

"Grandma, choose this. It's a nanmu coffin. The price is affordable, only one hundred taels will be enough. I think the two families should be fair, so they can each contribute fifty taels. What do you think, Chuyue?" Liu Cui smiled and dropped such a bombshell.

Nanmu is not cheap to begin with, so it is normal to be worth one hundred taels, but he asked Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao to pay fifty taels. If they just gave it this time, it would be fine.

But they knew that Liu Cui and He Hua would not be easily satisfied. If they gave them fifty taels, they might ask for more next time.

"Grandma, it's not that my husband and I are unwilling to pay, but we don't have that much money on hand right now." Jiang Chuyue looked embarrassed. She knew exactly how much money was on the account, and she had made the account books based on the current grain prices in order to fool everyone.

After all, the fact that there is food in the space cannot be told to outsiders, not even to her husband Xiao Yihao.

"You don't want to pay, do you want your grandma to buy a cheaper one?" He Hua took advantage of every opportunity, wishing she could find a chance to trample Jiang Chuyue into the mud.

"How can you fool around with something like coffin? You're being unfilial!" The blame of "unfilial piety" was put on him.

Jiang Chuyue had heard enough of words like unfilial and disrespectful to elders, but she had to endure it here.

Xiao Yihao, who had been silent on the side, saw that Jiang Chuyue's temper was out of control, so he quickly interrupted and continued, "Since grandma has chosen it, we will buy it even if we have to sell everything we have, but the family doesn't have much money now, so why don't you give us some time and let us get some money together."

Seeing that Xiao Yihao also gave in and agreed, He Hua and Liu Cui, who had achieved their goal, were almost laughing their faces off.

"Since Hao'er has said so, how about giving you five days?" He even looked like he was giving alms.

Jiang Chuyue had never felt so aggrieved before. "Then it's settled. Five days later, my husband and I will take fifty taels of silver with Second Aunt and Grandma to look at the coffin. At that time, we also ask everyone to help us and go with us to carry the coffin back."

Since they wanted to use the excuse of buying funeral supplies to ask for money, then they can't blame Jiang Chuyue for blocking their way.

Seeing He Hua and Liu Cui's faces turning gloomy, Jiang Chuyue felt inexplicably comfortable.

After finally sending the two troublemakers away, Jiang Chuyue laid down on the table, not wanting to move at all.

"Is there any family in the village that makes funeral supplies?" Jiang Chuyue jumped up suddenly, remembering something.

Xiao Yihao glanced at her and said, "Brother Wu has already made this trip for us. I am very curious about where the 100 taels of nanmu coffin came from."

Seeing that Xiao Yihao knew what was going on, Jiang Chuyue continued to explain with peace of mind.

"Second Aunt and Grandma have been making such a fuss all the time. It's never a big deal." Jiang Chuyue felt a headache when she thought of these two people. Unfortunately, these two people were the elders, so Jiang Chuyue couldn't do anything and could only accept it passively.

"I'm really sorry for dragging you into this." Xiao Yihao's apology was very sincere. If Jiang Chuyue had not married him, she would not have to be tortured by Liu Cui and He Hua.

This was also his fault.

Jiang Chuyue rested her chin on the table and looked at Xiao Yihao, as if trying to determine whether he was sincere or not. She stared at him for a long time before speaking, "You are you, and they are them. You don't have to take all their faults on yourself."

With a wave of his hand, he lightly brushed aside the matter.

However, since He Hua is so arrogant, it is not good to let her continue to be so comfortable.
