Chapter 329 My Five Brothers Are Bosses 5
The one who pushed the original owner was the original owner's father's and mother's sister-in-law, and the original owner's aunt.
"Aunt, the crime is not for the married woman. My parents have already accepted Wang Sheng's betrothal gift, so I am a member of the Wang family. We are getting married tomorrow. If you have any problems, just talk to my eldest brother. He is already 14 years old and a big boy. You can ask him to handle the family affairs."
The aunt-in-law snorted.
"Your parents are dead, and you're still thinking about getting married. How shameless."
Although the aunt said so, she did not bother Zhang Xintong anymore. This was indeed the rule here. Once the betrothal gift was received, the girl belonged to the other family. The house and land in the family were divided among the sons, and there was no share for the daughters. Naturally, debts could not be used to marry off the daughters.
A total of six creditors came, and it was the original owner who blocked them. Before the original owner could say anything, he was pushed down by the aunt.
The six people walked around Zhang Xintong and came to the five brothers. The five brothers didn't expect that the eldest sister would not care about them. It was obviously not like this in the previous life.
That's right, all five brothers were reborn. In their previous life, the five brothers joined the Fifth Prince and helped him fight for the throne. Unfortunately, the Fifth Prince failed to seize the throne, and the five brothers were executed by the new emperor.
When the five brothers were reborn, they saw their eldest sister stopping the debt collectors, and they instantly understood the situation.
When the original owner's parents named their sons, they hoped that they would become famous, so the original owner's eldest brother was named Zhang Chengyang; the second brother was named Zhang Chengming; the third brother was named Zhang Chengli; the fourth brother was named Zhang Chengwan; and the fifth brother was named Zhang Chenggong.
From the names of the five brothers, we can tell how much the original owner's parents wanted them to be successful.
The eldest aunt spoke to the eldest Zhang Chengyang
"Zhang Chengyang, my second brother and his wife are gone. What do you say about our debt?"
Even if Zhang Chengyang later became a high-ranking official, he was not good at handling such matters. After becoming an official, he would not worry about a little money. Before becoming an official, his elder sister took care of everything, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Zhang Chengyang looked at his elder sister Zhang Xintong
"Sister, what do you say we should do?"
Zhang Xintong sat on the ground. The original owner's body was in a very weak state. She had secretly drunk two cups of spiritual spring water and had to wait a while before she could get up.
"How would I know what to do? I'm the wife of the Wang family, so of course you have to handle the Zhang family's affairs."
"Sister, our parents just died, are you going to ignore us?"
Zhang Xintong despised her, saying, "He's the top scorer! He's trying to kidnap me morally." Unfortunately, Zhang Xintong didn't care about her reputation, so no one could kidnap her.
"My parents have already accepted Wang Sheng's betrothal gift. I am now a member of the Wang family and cannot interfere in your Zhang family's affairs. However, I can give you an idea. My betrothal gift is 10 taels of silver, and my family also has 10 acres of land. Together, it should be enough to pay off these creditors."
When the five brothers heard what Zhang Xintong said, they were all very angry.
"Sister, my parents have already spent the betrothal money, and we have no money left. We can't sell the land either. How will we survive if we sell it?"
Zhang Xintong exposes Zhang Chengyang
"The 10 taels of silver for the betrothal gift are still in my parents' cabinet. They said they're keeping it for you to pay this year's rent. If you don't want to pay the money and don't want to sell the land, then discuss it with the creditor yourself!"
The five brothers whispered to each other
"What happened to the eldest sister? Why didn't she care about us? Could it be that she was also reborn?"
The five brothers' voices were very low, but they did not escape Zhang Xintong's ears. Zhang Xintong raised an eyebrow. The five brothers were all reborn. This world is interesting.
When the creditor heard that there was silver in the house, he immediately started shouting and asked the five brothers to pay back the money.
Zhang Xintong recovered now and stood up to go back to the original owner's room to pack up her things. The original owner's room was a firewood shed built at the back, which was drafty and had straw in the quilt, which was not warm.
After Zhang Xintong packed the original owner's only piece of clothing, she had nothing else to take with her. The original owner's parents hadn't prepared any dowry for her, and they planned to send her to the Wang family next door the next day.
When Zhang Xintong left the room, the creditors outside were still pestering the five brothers and were about to enter the house to plunder. Zhang Xintong ignored them and left the Zhang family and entered the courtyard of the Wang family next door.
Wang Sheng wasn't home right now and wouldn't be back until the evening. In his previous life, Wang Sheng went to find the original owner after returning home, and the original owner broke off the engagement with Wang Sheng, so Zhang Xintong knew the time.
Wang Sheng had already given the key to the original owner's house, and Zhang Xintong opened the door and went in directly.
"Xiao 9, what's going on with those five brothers? Why are they all reborn?"
"Tongtong, this world is big and more inclusive, so things like this will happen."
Since it's a large world, he might still have his own memories, which is great. While the missions in the large world are difficult, the original owner's wish was simple. Zhang Xintong expressed satisfaction at being able to easily complete the mission while also gaining more merit and golden light points.
"Xiao 9, what is the side quest?"
"Tongtong, the side quest requires you to live better than the five brothers. Let them watch you live a happy life, but they can't borrow your strength or take advantage of you."
"Your system is quite vindictive. You asked for something the wisher didn't ask for."
"Haha, Tongzi is a fan of level 10 novels. He likes to read face-slapping stories."
"Okay, got it"
The Zhang family next door, after a lot of back and forth, finally lost their money and temporarily paid back some of the debt. The land was not sold, and Zhang Chengyang promised to pay off the debt within two years. After signing a new IOU, the six creditors left.
The bodies of the original owner's parents were returned shortly afterwards. In the previous life, the original owner had asked the village carpenter to make a coffin for them, and they were buried there. In this life, Zhang Xintong didn't care. The original owner's parents had five sons, and it was the sons' responsibility to provide for their old age and see them to the end. Zhang Xintong didn't get involved.
Zhang Xintong had just been pushed to the ground and was covered in dirt. Not wanting to wear the original owner's tattered clothes, she went into the space and found a set of coarse linen clothes.
Zhang Xintong sighed while taking a shower in the bathroom. She used to be a great beauties, with big breasts and nice butts. But the bodies of people in this world are dry, flat, thin and small. She doesn't know how long it will take to recover.
Zhang Xintong took a shower, changed into new clothes and left the space.
Wang Sheng's family had three rooms: two on the left and two on the right, with the kitchen and dining area in the middle. The gardens in front and back together covered an acre of land, making it quite large.
Wang Sheng's house had a wall, about a meter high, made of earth. If a thief came, it would be easy to climb over it, but it was better than nothing.
Zhang Xintong took a quick look around and went to Wang Sheng's room. She took out a new mattress and quilt from her space, spread them out, and lay down in the quilt to sleep.
The original owner's body needed a good rest and to eat more good food to replenish it. Zhang Xintong was very sleepy at the moment and had to sleep. She could deal with other things after waking up.
Zhang Xintong didn't need to guess, in this world, he must be Wang Sheng. So, Zhang Xintong slept peacefully.
Zhang Xintong hadn't slept for long when she felt the vibrations of her soul. She opened her eyes and saw the dark and burly farmer, Wang Sheng. All right! Neither of them in this world is good-looking, but they're a good match.
