Making money, taking exams and supporting the family

chapter 19: Zhang Yinzhu and her mother

Heba Village was a village with various surnames. There were people with different surnames, and there were also many women who could be called Aunt Yang.

But when Lin Ze heard the voices outside, he immediately recognized who it was. Among the aunts who had connections with the original owner and had the surname Yang, there was only Yang Guifang, the mother of Zhang Yinzhu.

Why would Yang Guifang come early in the morning? If Lin Ze guessed correctly, it should be for one thing: money.

Lin Ze smiled slightly and patted his wife,

“Quickly get dressed and come with me. Yang Guifang must be here to give us the twenty taels of silver that father allocated to us. Later, you don’t need to say anything, just obediently stand by my side.”

When Zhang Xiu heard the voice of a woman calling herself their ‘aunt’, his body stiffened, and he stared at Lin Ze with some nervousness,

“Cousin should be here too…”

After all, Zhang Yinzhu was an unmarried girl, and her reputation was important. Yang Guifang, despite her love for money, knew her limits. So most of the time when Zhang Yinzhu met with the original owner, she was present. She would occasionally turn a blind eye, allowing the two to meet alone, teasing the original owner.

However, the original owner was unaware of these tricks and actually believed that Zhang Yinzhu reciprocated his feelings. He even thought that even the “mother-in-law” agreed. He was foolishly deceived.

Although Zhang Yinzhu did not explicitly mention eloping, it was her and her mother’s plan to trick the original owner into giving them money. They intentionally said some misleading words to make the original owner misunderstand.

Fortunately, even if Zhang Xiu and her mother were close relatives, they did not worry when they knew the original owner would not care about selling Zhang Xiu. They even hoped the original owner would earn quickly and give them the money.

Anyway, as long as Zhang Yinzhu showed up, the original owner would obediently hand over the money.

Seeing Zhang Xiu’s nervousness, Lin Ze knew it was a reflex reaction. He was afraid that he (LZ) would give their money to Zhang Yinzhu.

“Why are you so nervous? I don’t like Zhang Yinzhu. You’re my wife, and from now on, you’ll be in charge of the household money. Now quickly get dressed and come with me to deal with this trouble so that we can live a good life.”

After speaking, Lin Ze pinched Zhang Xiu’s face and then hugged his head, planting two loud kisses on his lips.

In broad daylight, early in the morning, Zhang Xiu felt like his head was about to explode. Faced with such a shameless rogue, he did not dare to say anything further and maintained his blushing face while obediently getting dressed.

However, due to his haste, he tried to put her arms in the sleeves twice before succeeding, which made Lin Ze burst into laughter.

He pulled him closer and kissed him on the face again. The joy of loving his wife could only be expressed through actions. Words were too pale.

Zhang Xiu shrunk in his embrace, feeling annoyed and embarrassed. This person must have been a rogue in his previous life!

Meanwhile, the Yang Guifang mother and daughter outside the room had become impatient with all the commotion.

When they used to come looking for “Lin Ze” before, he never made them wait. He would eagerly rush over as soon as they called out “Lin Ze.” However, today they had waited for quite a while, so Yang Guifang was slightly displeased.
