I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 3 - IOUs

Ji Zhao shook his head with a bitter smile, "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you like that yesterday, let alone scolded sister-in-law. I know I was wrong."

After hearing these words, Second Aunt Shen became even more puzzled. She narrowed her eyes and took a look at the sky.

Didn't the sun rise from the west this morning?

"Ahem, don't think that my sister-in-law and I can forgive you if you apologize!" Second Aunt Shen gave her an angry look, then turned and left.

She's not ashamed to be with a shameless person like Ji Atao!

Ji Zhao lowered his head in frustration.

Hey, the original owner is really hated. It seems that it is not that simple to restore the relationship between the original owner and the two sister-in-laws.

Ji Zhao walked out of the house, stood in the yard and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Shen Dashan and Zhao Lanhua are well-known industrious people in Shanghe Village. The husband and wife worked hard and built a yard ten years ago. The old couple lived in the main house, and there were three parallel rooms on the east side. They are the houses of the three brothers of the Shen family, with the kitchen and woodshed to the west, and the gates around the courtyard are all red brick walls.

Near the kitchen on the west side of the yard, there are three tanks, one big and two small.

Ji Zhao thought for a while, walked up to the big tile vat, looked at it, and took a deep breath.

There was a thick white band wrapped around her head, like a mummy.

She moved closer to see her face clearly, her brows were curved, her almond eyes were like water...

"What are you doing? Are you going to throw yourself into a well? I'm telling you, if you're going to die, don't die in Shen's house. You'll add bad luck to us!" A voice of scolding suddenly came from behind.

Ji Zhao turned around in a panic, and explained cautiously, "Sister-in-law..."

"Bah! I'm a hen that doesn't lay eggs. How can I be your sister-in-law?" The sister-in-law of the Shen family in a sky blue coarse cloth dress put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

"Mother is looking for you!" The sister-in-law of the Shen family threw down these words, turned around and left!

Ji Zhao shrugged weakly, then walked into the hall with his head down.

The hall in the middle is very spacious, a red-painted square table and four long dark red benches are greeted by the eyes, and a low bamboo couch is placed against the wall.

At this time, Zhao Lanhua was sitting at the square table, looking at the pink figure who entered the room with a complicated expression.

"...Mom?" Ji Zhao looked down at his toes and called softly.

"Sit down." Zhao Lanhua looked at her and sighed regretfully.

A bad premonition rose in Ji Zhao's heart.

She sat down obediently, raised her eyes cautiously, her hands were tightly intertwined, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"I know that I have wronged you by asking you to marry Saburo," Zhao Lanhua looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "A few days ago, when I took the matchmaker to your pomegranate village, I said the same thing in front of your grandmother. I understand, as long as you treat Saburo wholeheartedly, our Shen family is not the kind of family who would be harsh on their daughter-in-law. Now that the times are not good, so when we married you, the Shen family only gave your family two taels of silver. And half a bag of flour and half a bag of sorghum."

"If it was a good year, our family wouldn't care about these things..." Zhao Lanhua said in a gentle tone, "But the current year is really bad, it's been dry for a whole year, just your pomegranates There are seven families who starved to death in the village this year... I also asked Saburo this morning, and the two of you didn't consummate the house last night, since your mind is not on the Shen family, we will not make things difficult for you."

Zhao Lanhua raised her hand and tapped on the table, "Counting the dowry and the silver you took from the Shen family, the total is twelve taels. This is an IOU, and you need to pay it back within two years; another letter It is Saburo who has written and signed the Heli book."

Ji Zhao was stunned...
