Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Liu Jiao pouted and stopped talking. However, her eyes were still looking at Madam Liu. Clearly, she had not given up yet.

Madam Liu had been waiting for the other party to take the initiative to bring it up so that she could take the initiative. She did not dawdle any longer and asked directly, “Alright, child, I know that you might be causing trouble again if I don’t help you.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Naturally, she would not make any promises. She had a clear position in her ability. If she could not do it, she would not take responsibility for it. Therefore, she gave her a warning in advance.

“Eldest Aunt, it’s like this. Wang Chuan and his father have a small shoe shop in the county.” Liu Jiao hugged Madam Liu’s arm happily.

“It’s been doing pretty well before, but the Third Young Master of Landlord

Wang’s family in the county called his servants to the shop to ask Brother

Wang Chuan and Uncle Wang to make a new type of shoes.”

“Brother Wang Chuan and Uncle Wang spent a lot of effort to make it.” “But because it’s made of deerskin, it’s especially precious. However, there are very tew Wild deer, and one piece ot deerskin can’t make many snoes.”

“And back then, the Third Young Master of Landlord Wang’s family brought the deerskin that could be used to make three pairs of deerskin shoes.”

“But Brother Wang Chuan and Uncle Wang were very frugal. They used leftover materials to make the fourth pair.”

“I mentioned this pair of shoes before, but the people from Landlord Wang’s family didn’t want it. They thought it was scrap. At that time, they also agreed that the scrap would go to Uncle Wang.”

“Then Uncle Wang put this pair of shoes outside and sold it to a passing merchant.”

” Who knew that Landlord Wang’s family would suddenly go to the shop and demand a fourth pair of shoes a month later. They said that Uncle Wang had stolen the material and asked him to hand over the shoes.” Liu Jiao’s anger grew.

“Uncle Wang has already sold the shoes. Who knew that Landlord Wang’s family would demand an exorbitant price? They said that the Wang family must compensate. It’s either a pair of shoes or fifty taels of silver.” “Although the shoes were precious, they were only sold for twenty taels.”

“Uncle Wang’s family has been affected so much that they can’t do business. They have been closed for a long time and are even harassed by the servants of the Wang family every day.”

“Now Uncle Wang can only sell the shop and gather money to settle this matter with Landlord Wang’s family.”

“But Uncle Wang’s shop is too small, and he can’t find a buyer for a while. He’s been forced by Landlord Wang’s family every day. He can’t eat or sleep, and his body has been exhausted.”

“Aunt, I wonder if Cousin Chu Heng can find a buyer to help Uncle Wang sell the shop?” Liu Jiao had a straightforward personality and was not stupid.

Especially when it came to money, she definitely could not trouble her aunt. Therefore, she thought that with Chu Heng’s cousin’s identity as a scholar, he would definitely be able to find a rich person to buy the shop. At that time, the Wang family’s matter would be resolved.

Uncle Wang and Brother Wang Chuan could continue to live. Although they had suffered a loss this time, as long as they had the craftsmanship, they would not starve to death.

If they continued to argue with Landlord Wang’s family, he might lose both money and people.

When Madam Liu heard this news, she did not expect it to be so serious. They were actually being bullied.

“Jiao Er, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to help you find someone to buy the Wang family’s shop.”

“But it will be difficult to seek justice from Landlord Wang’s family’s Third Young Master.”

In ancient times, status had always been strict. Ordinary people, even the rich, could not beat the landlord.

A landlord could not beat an official.

Officials could not compete with the royal family.

This was reality.

Liu Jiao nodded. “I understand, Aunt. Uncle Wang and Brother Wang Chuan have already said that the Wang family has no heir. Brother Wang Chuan is the only son, so he can’t let down his ancestors. So, these 50 taels can only be used as a lesson..”
