After Transmigration, I Picked Up A Husband and Daughter

"When it’s family working, where does the matter of wages come from?"

Su Yu responded calmly, "This was your own initiative, to divide things clearly and unequivocally. Since we do not take a single cent of the Jiang Family’s property, then you should not have the right to possess Ziling’s labor without compensation. Village chief, Uncle Li, is there anything amiss with my statement?"

Confidence and wisdom sparkled in her eyes.

Uncle Li stroked his grizzled beard, silently tallying the figures Su Yu had presented, inwardly praising the girl’s quick wit. The accounts were crystal clear, immediately comprehensible.

Called out directly, Uncle Li hurriedly nodded in agreement, "There’s no discrepancy! Regarding the two side rooms and the land, I remember it more clearly than anything, it was indeed so."

The village chief, witnessing the scene, originally wanted to maintain his seriousness, but he was nearly amused by the verbal sparring between Lady Zhao and Su Yu. Eventually, he couldn’t help but crack a smile, although he quickly composed himself, "I think Ziling’s wife is making sense. If we are to split things clearly, then the accounts, of course, should be calculated openly and without confusion."

Lady Zhao was shocked silent by the two men’s remarks. A hundred plus taels of silver, and the two most respected elders in the village actually thought such a demand was reasonable?

"Don’t delay any longer, settle the accounts quickly. Once the money is in hand, I’ll clear out the house immediately."

Lady Zhao’s gaze wavered among the three people. Suddenly, as if realizing something, her voice filled with disbelief, "You, you are all conspiring to oppress me?"

The village chief heard this and his expression darkened slightly, "Aunt Zhou, that is an inappropriate thing to say. Conspiring to oppress? As the chief of Willow Village, I was personally invited by you today to mediate the family dispute. How does this become a conspiracy to oppress? Such words are truly disheartening."

Uncle Li’s tone was tinged with a hint of helplessness and a slight reproach, "Indeed, it was Xunzhong who told me that you elders intended to make peace with the second house, that’s why he asked me to persuade you. I also came out of consideration for the fact that without Youfu, you elders would be without support, taking the trouble to hurry over. Now a few words of fairness have strangely made me an accomplice?"
