Protagonist:

Chai Mi

After feeding the cow, Chai Mi went to feed the few goats at home, grabbed some corn kernels, and fed the chickens that had come into the yard.

No one knew whose those chickens were; anyway, they weren't Chai Mi's.

After all, Chai Mi felt raising chickens would be rather dirty and strongly resisted it, so her family had never raised chickens, ducks, or geese.

But today Chai Mi was in a good mood, so she fed them some food.

Normally, Chai Mi would have chased them away long ago.

Finished, Chai Mi tiredly went into the house and hid the document that Chai Zhongxiao and his wife and Chai Youde had already signed and pressed fingerprints on.

Now only a small half of the task was completed; Chai Zhongxiao still owed Chai Mi seven or eight thousand yuan, and she would go ask for that money in a few days.

Everything must not be rushed.

Although Chai Mi had waited for this day for a lifetime, she was pondering in her heart: how to get the money back while also ruining Chai Zhongxiao and his wife's reputation.

After all, sometimes, swift revenge was not as satisfying as slowly driving the other party completely mad.

Simply making Chai Zhongxiao and his wife repay the money would be letting them off too easy!

Afterwards Chai Mi dozed for a while; after all, she hadn't slept all night, and forced herself to doze for a while.

Seeing it was past five and dusk was falling, but her father Chai Youqing still hadn't returned home. Chai Mi cleaned the cowshed, tidied up her things, and prepared to go to the hospital. After all, her mother and younger sister were both in the hospital, and those few old, weak, sick, and disabled people couldn't be left without someone to look after them.

Chai Mi didn't have much of her own to pack; mainly her mother's and younger sister's clothes, which she needed to bring several more of. She had left in a hurry yesterday and basically hadn't brought any change of clothes. Now the weather was hot and dry; clothes worn on the body for a day would be soaked through with sweat, and when worn again after a day, one would feel uncomfortable all over.

Chai Mi used a piece of cloth to make a bundle, taking a few thin clothes her mother usually wore in summer, but her mother Su Wan's clothes were pitifully few—only two or three pieces in total. There were also Chai Xiu's few clothes... As for Chai Xin, she was still in swaddling clothes and had no clothes, only pieces of cut cloth.

Chai Mi frowned and sighed: if there was no other way, she'd buy two small outfits for the third child; after all, it seemed she hadn't learned to be bad yet, and maybe if raised well she wouldn't grow up twisted...

Things to use...

Chai Mi searched for a long time; the house didn't even have shampoo. Hair was washed with laundry detergent, face with soap... there was no need to take that.

Chai Mi searched again for the money hidden in the innermost part of the cabinet, but there was very little left.

Although the family wasn't dirt poor, after all they had raised three children. Not to mention anything else, in this era three mouths to eat could impoverish a household.

Although they were all girls, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea were still indispensable.

Chai Mi had a bit of a headache; her mother still needed to stay in the hospital for a few days. The expenses wouldn't be too large, but afterward, returning to her mother's family, she couldn't go empty-handed, could she?

But now time was tight, and Chai Mi knew there wasn't a better way, so she gritted her teeth and went to neighbor Liu Chunren's house, preparing to borrow some money.

Liu Chunren was called an old cadre by the villagers...

His family had two sons and one daughter, and they didn't have much land; their income depended entirely on him earning money. Right now, he was serving as an official in Wohu Gou Xiang outside the village. Although he wasn't the township head or party secretary, he was the third-in-command, and his salary income was still decent.

Moreover, their family was especially good at saving money, so there should be some savings at home.
