Mrs . Liu asked another question: “You work for Bai Zhi, how much did she give you?”
Mrs . Zhang replied: “We plowed and watered the fields for her . 1 acre is worth 1 silver coin . We plowed and watered 2 acres, we earn 4 silver coins in total . ”
Old Lady Bai hurriedly came forward: “2 acres? Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin have 3 acres of fields . Why did you only work on 2 acres?”
Mrs . Zhang looked at the old lady and said: “Bai Zhi is in a hurry to use the fields . She wants us to finish all every 2 days . We can only work on 2 acres, and then let Sanhui work on the other one . ”
Old Lady Bai showed a trace of regret in her face and unconsciously glared at Mrs . Zhang: “You put those 2 silver coins in vain by letting other people work on it . If you work much harder, you can also work on that acre, right? You useless thing!”

Mrs . Zhang’s sneered: “Yes, we are useless . Your eldest son is useful . Your favorite grandson that will become a big official in the future is useful . Why don’t you let them work in the field and see if they can even finished 1 acre in 1 day? I’ll give them money . ”
Old Lady Bai became speechless . She knew Mrs . Zhang was not the same as before . Now that they have separated, she doesn’t need to give them a face . She can’t scold her arbitrarily .
“I just said it out of a whim . You shouldn’t take it seriously . ” Old Lady Bai dryly smiled .
Mrs . Liu was lost in thoughts . Thinking about that they plowed and watered 2 acres of fields, they earned 4 silver coins in total . Bai Xiaofeng only needs 5 silver coins to go to school, she can just go to Zhang Sanshui and borrow 1 silver coin, by then, won’t she be able to gather all the needed money?
Mrs . Liu’s face blossomed in happiness . Then, she hurriedly whispered on the old lady’s ear .

Old Lady Bai listened to Mrs . Liu’s calculations and find it feasible . Now, they can only do this . Old Lady Bai walked in front of Mrs . Zhang and dryly smiled: “Second daughter-in-law, I have something to discuss with you . ”
Why wouldn’t Mrs . Zhang not understand what they were thinking? Remembering that the academy will start soon, they might be looking for money for Bai Xiaofeng’s studies . They wanted to take their money for it .
“If you have something to say, just say it directly . But I am reminding you, we don’t have money or food to lend you . We still have debts to pay . Those 4 silver coins are not enough to pay our debts . ”
Old Lady Bai and Mrs . Liu’s face drastically changed: “What debts? We just separated for a few days, how come you have debts?”
Mrs . Zhang sneered inside her heart . They even have the guts to mentioned separation to her like nothing .

“That’s right, we just separated . But because of the separation, we need to borrow money to buy food . We need to borrow money to buy winter clothes, quilts, and food for the winter . Next spring, we need to grow cucumbers . How we will buy seeds if we don’t have money? When we separated, you only gave our family 30 copper coins . What do you think you can buy with 30 copper coins? Even our quilts last winter was taken away by the first branch . How are we going to survive if we will not borrow money?”
Old Lady Bai felt a bit guilty in her heart, but she still said with a smile: “I didn’t see you bring those things back . If you really borrowed money to buy those things, why I didn’t see them at all?”
Mrs . Zhang patted the mud on her body and walked towards the house while saying: “I’m afraid that if I brought them here, they will be stolen . I’m sure it’s safer to put them in someone else’s house . I can get them when I need them . ”
Mrs . Zhang swore inside her heart that she will plant melon next year . The first thing she will do is to buy a piece of land like Bai Zhi and build another house so that she would never have to meet these people .
They only lived a leisure life all day long . They just eat and drink at home . Old or young, they were all the same . She couldn’t afford to stay with them .
