Su Li almost laughed out loud when she heard their words. Did they think that she would expect them to help?

As long as the people in the old residence didn’t kick her when she was down, she would be thankful.

He Yuan didn’t want to hear them argue anymore and let Old He make the decision. “Old He, you’re the head of the family. You have the final say. How should we deal with this matter?”

Old He wanted to say that he would not compensate her. Why would he compensate her with so much silver? Su Li was really too much. She went to the village chief for such a small matter. Didn’t she know that family scandals should not be exposed?

Old He said reluctantly, “We’ll pay.”

Wang Chunhua was still a little unhappy. “Old man!”

Old He glared at Wang Chunhua. “Shut up!”

What could he do if he did not compensate? Could he really let the officials capture their entire family?

Today’s matter was all caused by this damn old woman. If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t know how to stop all day long, there wouldn’t be so many things today.

Wang Chunhua glared at Su Li. It was all this little b*tch’s fault. She had clearly only kicked the stove and didn’t even touch the pots and pans. How did she become the one who smashed the things?

Zhou Yu held Su Li’s hand and said, “Count how much those things of yours are worth!”

Su Li counted with her fingers. “The pots and pans cost two taels of silver. I have to hire someone to make that stove again, but it also costs five taels of silver, so you just have to compensate me a total of seven taels of silver.”

Seven taels of silver?

This d*mn b*tch actually dared to ask for a sky-high price?

Seven taels of silver was more than enough to buy a coffin for this little slut, let alone those lousy things!

Wang Chunhua spat at Su Li. “Those pieces of junk are also worth seven taels of silver. Why don’t you rob someone?”

Zhou Yu glanced at Wang Chunhua. “How are those things not worth seven taels of silver? You kicked the stove and it collapsed. What if the stove god blames you?”

“He Yufeng often goes up the mountain to hunt. If you anger the stove god and he can’t even catch his prey, do you think you can afford these losses?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows. How could she have forgotten about the stove god? She should have asked more just now. It was not a small matter to offend the stove god!

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. You’ve been collecting seven taels of silver a month for so many years. What’s wrong with asking you to compensate seven taels of silver now? If the stove god blames you, can you bear the responsibility?”

“That’s right. Why did you have to offend the Stove God? If you anger the Stove God, you’ll suffer.”

Wang Chunhua’s breath was stuck in her chest. These people were all stepping on the weak. In the past, when she was doing great, these people did not talk to her like this!

He Yuan looked at Old He and said, “Do you have any objections?”

Old He felt suffocated and said, “Can you reduce it? Look, we have so many mouths to feed. It’s not easy to earn money these days. The pots and pans don’t cost that much. How about three taels of silver?”

Su Li burst out laughing. “You get seven taels of silver a month for your retirement expenses and you guys are telling me that your lives aren’t easy. If your lives aren’t easy, there probably won’t be a family in the village that’s doing well!”

“Look at how good this house is! The wind can’t blow it away and the rain wouldn’t drench it. It was specially built with bricks that were brought from the town. It’s not like our thatched house, which collapses when the wind blows and floods when it rains.’

“By the way, you still have a few acres of fertile land, right? The food planted every year should still be rich, right? Since you don’t want to lose money, you can give us a piece of land. After all, we have a share.”

Old He: “…” He really wanted to sew up Su Li’s mouth and make her shut up for the rest of her life. He wants no words from that mouth to be heard.

Wang Chunhua jumped up in anger. “You still want the field? You’re simply daydreaming. Let me tell you, unless I die, don’t even think about it!”

Su Li raised her eyebrows. “Since you don’t want to give me the fields, give me the silver readily.”

Zhou Yu chimed in, “Madam Wang, quickly take out the silver. We still have other things to do. We don’t have time to waste at your house.” Wang Chunhua gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t have money!”

Su Li smiled and said, “Then go to jail.”

Old He looked at He Yuan with a troubled expression and said, “Brother, even if we were the ones who smashed those pots and pans, those things are not worth seven taels of silver. Help us. We really can’t take out so much silver!”

Even if he could take it out, he would not take it. Su Li was clearly deceiving her. Even if she threw those pieces of junk on the road, beggars would not want them, yet she was asking for two taels of silver for them. She was daydreaming.

He Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Four taels of silver then. Both of you can take a step back. If you still want to continue arguing, go to the government office.”

He swore that he would no longer care about such trivial matters in the future. If he couldn’t get any results, wouldn’t he be criticized?

Su Li nodded in agreement. “For the sake of the village chief today, so be it. However, this won’t happen again. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so easy to talk to.”

Old He was speechless.

Four taels of silver and she still looked like she had suffered a loss. Those who didn’t know better would think that her pots and pans were inlaid with gold!

Wang Chunhua still wanted to throw a tantrum. These four taels of silver were more painful than cutting off a piece of her flesh.

He Fengnian was drinking and chatting with the people next door. When he heard that something had happened to his family, he rushed back.

He had also heard the rough story from his neighbor. He cursed Su Li in his heart, but at this point, they had to pay for the money!

There were witnesses and evidence. It was useless even if his mother refused to admit it. After all, everyone was not blind. If they were really expelled, they would have no one to help them.

He Fengnian stood beside Wang Chunhua and said, “Mother, compensate Third

Sister-in-law with the silver!”

Wang Chunhua was still unwilling. He Fengnian whispered a few words into Wang Chunhua’s ear. In the end, Wang Chunhua cursed softly before turning around to enter the house to get the silver.

“Take it to buy a coffin.” Wang Chunhua threw the silver into Su Li’s hand.

Su Li smiled and kept the silver. “Alright, when the two of you die, I’ll definitely take out a little of this silver to buy you coffins.”

Wang Chunhua pointed at Su Li and said, “Are you cursing me to die?”

Su Li blinked innocently and said, “You were the one who asked me to buy a coffin. Only the two of you are older in the family, so it’s right that I buy coffins for the both of you. Isn’t that right?” Wang Chunhua was speechless.

So angry! So angry!

The farce ended after Su Li received four taels of silver. The villagers dispersed when they saw that there was no commotion.

Su Li held the brothers’ hands and left. Wang Chunhua pointed at their backs and started scolding.

After leaving the old residence, He Qingyao looked up at Su Li. “Mother, our bowls don’t seem to be broken!”

Why did Mother say that their pots and pans were smashed just now? Wasn’t this a lie?
