After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Wan paid the villagers who came to work. They were so unbelievable when they received the money that they even felt shaky when they walked.

They have been working for nearly half a month.

Each person was paid fifteen cents a day, and each of them received more than two hundred cents in wages.

After deducting the cost of food and drink, the net profit in half a month was two hundred coins!

For the farmers in Lushui Village, this amount of money is like pie in the sky, a windfall!

Each of them had a beaming smile on their face. Some of them were so wealthy that they went straight to the town to buy a few pounds of meat and took it back to feed their wives and children.

Among them were Zhang’s neighbors.

Speaking of the Zhang family, that is Zhang Caijin's family.

Ever since Jiang Wan came and snatched back the silver hairpin from Zhang Caijin's mother, Sun's head, Sun has fallen ill.

Her illness is not physical but mental. In short, she is angry.

Was angry with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan not only got back her favorite hairpin, but also came to collect her debt, taking back fifty kilograms of grain and five taels of silver.

Leaving aside the silver hairpin, the food and silver were borrowed from the other two families and must be repaid.

But how can Sun afford to pay it back?

I can still pay back the grain by tightening my belt, but I really can’t pay back the silver.

Mrs. Sun was in debt, so Zhang Caijin went to the town to study. When he came back, he asked her for money, saying that he needed this and that.

My daughter Zhang Mei complained at home that her clothes were old and thin and asked for money to buy new clothes.

Sun's husband was a farmer who made a living by farming. He could not read or write and had no special skills. But Zhang Laoer was greedy and loved food. He would think about what to eat every day and would ask Sun for money every now and then.

There are four people in the family, and three of them are not worry-free. They are all pressuring Sun for money. How can she not get sick?

Sun was leaning against the head of the bed, with a rag scarf wrapped around her head and a dull face.

Sitting next to her was Zhang Mei, who was eating melon seeds.

"Mother, look at this blue cotton jacket I'm wearing. You bought it for me last year. It's faded now and looks so old. When I wear it out, the girls in the big room laugh at me. Can you bear to see your daughter suffer like this?"

Sun glared at her angrily, "You suffer? What about me, your mother? You are just causing trouble for others! You don't even look at the current situation at home. You keep clamoring to buy new clothes. Will you die without new clothes? Don't think about those new clothes. Think about what we're going to eat next!"

Zhang Mei spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Isn't there still food in the rice jar?"

Sun sighed sadly, "Your eldest brother sent someone to tell me a few days ago that he was short of writing brushes, inkstones, and paper, especially the paper and ink for writing. He asked me to quickly collect two taels of silver and send it to him!"

"Where can I get two taels of silver from my family? I plan to take some of the grain in the rice jar and exchange it for money."

Zhang Mei was dissatisfied and said, "Brother is really something. He knows that our family is in financial difficulty, but he still asks for a lot of money. He wants two taels of silver. Two taels of silver is enough to buy two or three new sets of clothes."

"Shut up!"

Sun glared at her and scolded her, "Your elder brother wants money for serious matters, to study and get a good reputation! What is your reason? How dare you say that about your elder brother?"

Zhang Mei pouted unconvincedly, but she didn't say anything back. Instead, she said, "Mom, are you really going to take all the food in the house to exchange for silver for my eldest brother? If you take it all away, what will we eat in the future?!"

Sun sighed and frowned, "What else can I do? I still owe your uncle and third uncle five taels of silver, and they ask me to pay it back every day. All the money in the family was taken away by your eldest brother to study in the town, so where is the money left?"

Zhang Mei heard Sun's serious tone and thought that she would really exchange the family's surplus food for money, and she immediately became anxious.

"Mom! Don't do anything stupid! There's only so much food left at home, and we still have to survive the winter. If you take all the food away, what will we eat in the future? Dirt or tree bark?!"

She knew that Zhang Caijin could not be blamed, so she suddenly had an idea and cursed: "It's all the fault of that little bitch Jiang Wan! If it weren't for her, we wouldn't owe Uncle and his family five taels of silver! Big brother wouldn't be without money to spend, and mother wouldn't have lost her silver hairpin and suffered from a heart disease! The hard times and mess in our family now are all caused by Jiang Wan!"

When Sun heard this, he agreed wholeheartedly.

"Yes! It's all the fault of that bitch Jiang Wan! She went crazy for no reason and showed up with a machete to collect debts. She even stole my silver hairpin! She gave me the hairpin as a gift, but she had the nerve to take it back!"

Whenever the silver peony hairpin was mentioned, Sun felt extremely heartbroken.

The hairpin was exquisitely crafted, and the peony petals were painted with gold threads, giving it an imposing look.

Sun always treated it as a treasure and wore it on his head every day to show off.

The first and third wives were jealous of her because of the hairpin, and Sun was proud of it for a long time.

As a result, Jiang Wan came to the door and snatched it away without saying hello. Not only did she make the eldest wife and her family laugh at her, but she also lost her treasure. How could Sun not be so angry that she fell ill?

"Mom, we can't just let Jiang Wan take the things back like this! We have to find a way to get them back!"

Zhang Mei was naturally dissatisfied with Jiang Wan's behavior.

This month, Jiang Wan no longer brought gifts to Sun and Zhang Mei as she did before, resulting in a significant loss of income for their family.

In the past, in order to leave a good impression in front of Sun, Jiang Wan often went to her house to bring food and clothes.

Sometimes it was wild rabbit, pheasant, and sometimes wild venison.

After Jiang Wan tried to please Sun, he also had to make friends with Zhang Mei.

When Zhang Mei told her that she was short of fabric for clothes, Jiang Wan would find a way to buy two pieces, sometimes even adding head flowers and pearl flowers, which made Zhang Mei very happy.

At that time, when Sun mentioned that Zhang Caijin's studies were expensive and he was short of money, Jiang Wan would sensibly give him some money.

Sun was beaming with joy as she took the silver, and kept making promises to Jiang Wan that after Zhang Caijin passed the imperial examination, she would let Zhang Caijin marry Jiang Wan. She also said that Jiang Wan was her ideal daughter-in-law and she would not recognize anyone else.

In the past, Jiang Wan was fooled by Sun's sweet words and was willing to subsidize Sun and his family with money and materials. The Sun family lived a very comfortable life.

Now, in just one month, the Sun family is already living in poverty and may not even have enough to afford their next meal.

When Sun heard her daughter say this, she was about to respond, but she shook her head and said, "That bitch Jiang Wan is not the same as before. If we go to her house like this to ask for things, I'm afraid we won't get them back."

Jiang Wan’s ruthless and cold look was still vivid in Zhang Mei’s mind, and she shuddered.

"What should we do? Are we just going to swallow this anger?"

Zhang Mei was indignant.

Sun thought for a while and was about to speak when Zhang Laoer rushed in from outside the door.

"What are we having for lunch? The Ergou family next door bought some meat and snacks for the first time today! Wow, that big piece of fat meat smells so good, you guys can't smell it, it smells so good that you want to swallow your tongue! I went to ask Ergou why he bought meat today, guess what he said?"

Sun and Zhang Mei both looked at him, with curiosity and longing on their faces.

"How did he say?"

Zhang Laoer sat down on the bed and said, "He said he went to build a house for Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan paid him more than 200 coins!"
