Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 194 I will pay back this money

After the head of the village left, he asked the boss about the man's identity, but the boss remained silent and only revealed that the man came from the capital and was of prominent family background.

He hesitated. If he had this person's help, he really wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"Please forgive my poor eyesight for not recognizing you. You are a distinguished person, and I have only seen your appearance from afar and could not remember it at the moment!"

Qin Erge has always been flexible and he is not just a rough guy. On the contrary, although he looks big and strong, he actually longs to study and has learned some of the ways of scholars, which he rarely shows off.

"Brother Qin, you are too polite. I wonder if you could send someone back to ask your Tiger Master and tell him my name and ask him to give him two days' grace."

The village head had no intention of helping Jiang Haiqing pay back the money, as it was not worth it.

"Don't call me Brother Qin Er. How dare I ask you to call me brother? Just call me Qin Er. It's not that I don't want to give you face. It's just that I can't make the decision. I will send someone back to report. Please wait."

Jiang Youzhen almost laughed again. Qing'er? It reminded her of a character in a play that was popular in the streets and alleys in her previous life. Oh! She was really funny.

"Village head, uncle village head, you have to help us!" Jiang Haiqing now found a life-saving straw and of course he held on to it.

He broke free from the restraints of the thugs and stepped forward to hug the village head's thigh. Jiang Youzhen then discovered that there was a large dark mark on the corner of his silver-grey robe.

No way? Are you frightened to death? Jiang Youzhen was shocked, and then looked away with contempt.

Her eyes met the clan leader, and she winked at him. Seeing this, Jiang Heng walked towards Jiang Youzhen.

"Don't get involved in this matter. The village head and I will handle it." Jiang Heng thought that Jiang Youzhen was worried that this matter would affect her, so he comforted her.

Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "I'll take care of this matter!"

"Ah? Why do you want to get involved in this mess? Sixty taels of silver, are you going to pay it back for him? It's not worth it!" Jiang Heng was very puzzled. Could it be that this family had reconciled without him knowing?

"There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days. I paid back sixty taels today, and maybe the village head helped to delay it for a few days, but this money must be paid back eventually. By then, they will definitely have some bad intentions, and it will be hard to guard against them."

"Then you can't help him pay back the money, right? Didn't you hear just now? Sixty taels is the interest, and he borrowed two hundred taels as principal! You said you'd pay it back today, but there's still a next time, so are you going to pay it all for him?" Jiang Heng almost thought Jiang Youzhen was crazy.

"Don't be impatient! I haven't finished talking yet! It's not impossible to help them, but I have to prevent future troubles. I don't want to have anything to do with this family anymore."

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly, "Adopt! Now is a good time. Only by adopting can we completely get rid of this family."

"You? Do you really want to adopt me?" Jiang Heng was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to have such a plan. Old Eight just said something unintentional. Could it be that this kid was tempted at that time?

"Yes!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to be adopted by the Eighth Brother? It's impossible for him to disagree, but he has no children! The corvée service that Jiang Haiqing mentioned just now is no small matter. He has no children and is old, so the quota for corvée service will fall on you. There will be a small election every three years and a big election every five years. You can't escape it."

Jiang Heng frowned. He felt that this kid definitely didn't know the cruelty of corvee labor.

"Erlang! Perhaps you don't know. If you can find someone to guarantee you and spend some money, you can do the corvée labor once every three years. You can even find someone to smooth things over and find you an easier job so you don't suffer a little.

But once every five years, it's not all corvée labor, you may also be in the military and sent to the border. Going to the border is a life-threatening situation! If you encounter a war, you won't be able to come back with your small body."

Jiang Heng shook his head repeatedly, "If you stay here, you can still find a way to register in the future. You still have cousins. But once you are adopted, there will be no way at all."

"Everything will work out when the time comes! Who can predict what will happen in the future? If it really doesn't work out, I'll just take the imperial examination. Can't I take it next year? If I pass, I won't have to do corvée labor. I'll just have to get through this year first."

Jiang Youzhen just said this casually. If it really doesn't work, she can restore her female identity and have the government remove her from the household register.

However, Jiang Heng retreated tactically, his eyes wide as bells.

After a long while, he stammered, "Erlang! I don't mean to think you're not smart, but you have to understand that even if you study hard for ten years, you may not pass the exam. Not even half of the people who pass the county exam pass. You've only studied for one year, so you'd better not think too much about this."

Erlang is indeed smart, but it is a bit too ambitious to think so. He is a little worried now. Is this kid getting too proud?

"Anyway, I have a solution and have made a decision. But I'm afraid my father will never come to his senses. I can't bring this up. It will only work if Jiang Haiqing takes the initiative to bring it up."

Jiang Youzhen doesn't want to be the bad guy. Jiang Fugui obviously still has hope for Jiang He. If he knew what she had done, he would be upset.

Jiang Heng sighed, "Since you have made up your mind, it is not impossible for me to be the villain. But you are considerate and you know how to take your father's wishes into consideration."

He admired Jiang Youzhen more and more. This boy was not only talented, but also experienced in dealing with people. He looked innocent on the surface, but his calculations behind the scenes were very sophisticated.

In fact, only such people can go further and further in their official careers. He made up his mind to help this kid.

"But if I make this suggestion, I'm afraid he won't agree to my offering only 60 taels. We have to cooperate well, and I can't offer all the other 60 taels, so..."

Jiang Youzhen leaned close to Jiang Heng's ear and whispered something. Jiang Heng nodded repeatedly with shock in his eyes.

This kid is really calculating! No wonder Jiang Haiqing can't beat her and always suffers at her hands.

Jiang Heng walked to Eighth Grandpa with a firm step, and the two of them whispered for a while. Eighth Grandpa's eyes were suddenly full of joy. He turned his head to look at Jiang Youzhen, who smiled at him, and he was even more overjoyed.

Jiang Tao didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him. Isn't this pie in the sky?

"If she really means that..." Eighth Grandpa Jiang Tao hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Then I'll give her the ten taels of silver I saved. Anyway, I have someone to take care of me in my old age, and I can use this money to help them solve their problems."

The clan leader got the news, and when he saw that Second Brother Qin was about to send someone back to the town for instructions, he stopped the other party.

"Wait a minute! I'll pay you back the money!"
