"mother!"

Zhang Caijin and Zhang Mei hurried to support Sun, both of them looked panicked.

"Jiang Wan, how can you be so vicious? Look how angry you made my mother! If anything happens to my mother, I will never let you go!"

Zhang Mei took the initiative and glared at Jiang Wan fiercely.

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes. "If your mother choked to death while eating, would you blame the cook for cooking the rice too hard? Did you see me touch her?"

"I'm mad at her. I haven't even told her how angry I am that your whole family is bullying me alone."

Jiang Wan looked at Zhang Caijin impatiently, "Mr. Zhang, you are one of the few scholars in the village. Isn't reputation what scholars care about most? You owe me food and money, but you refuse to pay me back. Don't you want to lose your reputation?"

She continued, "I heard that you are studying in a famous private school in town. If I spread the news of your defaulting on your debt to your school, I wonder what your teacher and classmates will think of you?"

In the original book, Zhang Caijin is the most face-conscious. Perhaps all scholars value their reputation and face to some extent, and Zhang Caijin is the best among them.

Therefore, when Jiang Wan mentioned the word fame, he was panicked and at a loss.

"Wan... Jiang Wan! I'm back! Don't spread this!" Zhang Caijin spoke hurriedly.

Zhang Mei shouted in disbelief, "Brother! I can't give it to you! Food is fine, but where do you get five taels of silver?!"

The other members of the Zhang family were just watching the show from the sidelines. It was none of their business anyway, so there was no need for them to get involved.

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, thinking that Zhang Caijin was tactful.

She had a hold on his vital point, and there was no way Zhang Caijin would not return it.

"I want it now."

Jiang Wan stretched out his hand naturally.

Zhang Caijin wanted to use a delaying tactic, "Jiang Wan, I can give you the food today, but I don't have that much silver right now. How about you wait for me for two days?"

Jiang Wan saw through his little trick at a glance.

"It just so happens that I have a bullock cart today, so why not go to town?"

Zhang Caijin turned pale and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go! I'll give you the money today!"

Jiang Wan snorted coldly, his attitude firm.

Zhang Caijin wiped the cold sweat from his head and said to Zhang Mei, "Little sister, go get her 50 kilograms of food."

Zhang Mei was unwilling, "Brother! Didn't Jiang Wan listen to you the most in the past?"

"Go if I tell you to!"

Zhang Caijin glared at her angrily.

This idiot, doesn't he even see that Jiang Wan is different now than before, and he still mentions the past?

Although Zhang Caijin didn't know what happened to Jiang Wan, he had to pay it back because Jiang Wan was using his reputation to force him to repay the debt.

Zhang Mei went into the house reluctantly, and Zhang Caijin's aunt-in-law followed her hurriedly, fearing that Zhang Mei would take the public food.

There was a commotion in the house for a while, and Zhang Mei came out with 50 kilograms of food with a gloomy face.

Jiang Wan was not polite and threw the food directly onto the ox cart.

"money."

Jiang Wan’s words are concise and to the point.

Zhang Caijin held it in for a long time, and tried to play the emotional card, "Jiang Wan, you suddenly came to my house to ask for a debt, and I really can't get five taels together at the moment. How about I give it to you tomorrow, no, tonight, okay?"

"For the sake of our past relationship."

Zhang Caijin gave her an affectionate look, and his fair and handsome face looked very deceptive.

Jiang Wan tilted his head and dry-heaved a few times, covering his mouth and saying, "Can you please stop being crazy? Don't look at me with those affectionate eyes that you use to look at a dog. I feel sick."

Zhang Caijin's expression froze, and his face turned pale and blue.

"Stop talking nonsense and pay me back!"

Jiang Wan issued an ultimatum.

Zhang Caijin clenched his hands, staring at Jiang Wan's disgusted expression, and flames of annoyance slowly rose in his heart.

Jiang Wan, you actually said I was disgusting, just wait for me!

Zhang Caijin's hands clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, over and over again.

In the end, he turned to his family to borrow money and scraped together five taels of silver.

"Here's five taels, Jiang Wan. From now on I owe you nothing. If you continue to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, don't blame me for ignoring our friendship!"

Jiang Wan snatched the silver from Zhang Caijin's hand, counted it and stuffed it into the cloth bag.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, you know whether you owe me or not."

Jiang Wan achieved the purpose of this trip and was in a good mood, so she gave the scumbag a good face.

"I didn't ask you about it one by one, so you just crawled into bed and laughed secretly."

Jiang Wan ignored Zhang Caijin's livid face, climbed onto the ox cart swiftly, and drove away without looking back.

Jiang Wan didn't go to the Jiang family. She had just had a big fight with Old Lady Jiang and the others yesterday, and she was going there alone just to get scolded.

Besides, she didn't want to stay in the corrupt Jiang family.

Jiang Wan thought about it and drove the ox cart towards the north of the village.

The Xie family lives in the north of the village, which is close to the foot of the mountain and is remote, so there are few residents in the north of the village.

The Xie family was an outsider who came here decades ago. The head of the village allocated them a plot of land in the north of the village. Although it was remote, it was at least a place to stay.

Xie Lan's parents died six years ago. He and his two younger siblings separated from the Xie family and were left with only two thatched huts.

Fortunately, Xie Lan was hardworking and capable. He fenced off the yard within a few years and built two additional adobe houses.

Jiang Wan sorted out Xie Lan's plot in the original book in her mind, and walked to Xie Lan's door according to her memory.

She looked at the yard through the fence.

The courtyard is simply furnished with two thatched houses and two adobe houses, with the four houses arranged in a U-shape.

There is a spacious mud area in the middle of the yard, and a persimmon tree is planted in the corner of the east wall.

There were also a few chickens and ducks in the yard. They were running around happily in the yard. Following behind them was a cute little girl with messy hair like a chicken coop.

Jiang Wan looked at her carefully and confirmed that this girl was Xie Xueling, the sister of Xie Lan, who was abducted and sold to human traffickers by the original owner in the book.

She got off the cart and went up to knock on the door.

The little girl uttered an "eh" and called out in a soft voice, "Second brother! Someone is knocking on the door!"

Xie Jing came out of the kitchen with a dark and gray face and asked impatiently: "Who is it?!"

He strode to open the door, only to see the face he least wanted to see.

"…It's you! Bad woman!"

Xie Jing took a step back cautiously, his face showing a fierce look, "What are you doing here?! I'm telling you, my brother will be back soon!"

Seeing that he was facing a powerful enemy, Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel amused and a little sad at the same time.

The original owner had come to Xie Lan's house only a few times before, and her main purpose was to humiliate Xie Lan and try to discourage Xie Lan from marrying her. She also pushed and insulted Xie Lan's brothers and sisters at will.

Therefore, when Xie Jing saw Jiang Wan coming to the door, he became alert.

He was afraid that Jiang Wan would take advantage of Xie Lan's absence to bully him and his younger sister.

"Your eldest brother went to town with me. How could he come back right away?"

Jiang Wan exposed Xie Jing's lie and walked into the yard.

Xie Jing hurried over and grabbed Xie Xueling's arm, hiding her behind him.

"I'm telling you, don't think that just because you gave me chicken yesterday, I would agree to you marrying my eldest brother!"
