Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1296 - 1298: The Wealthy Family
Although that arrest officer has some connections with their old Zhong Family, his rank is really too low.
If it’s just to let those old men suffer a little less in prison, it’s possible, but to get them out, that arrest officer probably doesn’t have that kind of clout.
This inevitably made the family worry again.
Xiaoxiao was surprised, it turns out that the arrest officer is her cousin, no wonder in the past...
At this moment, Xiaoxiao’s mother spoke again, "My nephew said, they won’t be in trouble, and we should quickly prepare the Silver to bail them out."
Upon hearing this, the Zhong Family’s eldest aunt was the first to speak, "Right, right, use Silver, maybe we can bail them out."
Zhong Family’s third aunt: "Then let’s hurry back to get the Silver, take as much as we can."
Zhong Family’s fourth aunt: "You juniors wait here, don’t cause trouble, wait for us to come back with the Silver, and then we’ll discuss further."
Zhong Family’s fifth aunt: "Stop talking, let’s go quickly."
The sisters-in-law talked as they hurriedly went back home to get Silver, and Xiaoxiao’s mother also returned to her room to get Silver.
For a moment, only the brothers and sisters-in-law of the same generation as Xiaoxiao were left in the room.
The brothers looked at Zhong Dalong, who appeared defeated, and couldn’t help but step forward to persuade him, "Dalong, this was an accident, it’s not your fault, don’t think too much."
"Yeah, the family still relies on you, you are the pillar of Second Uncle’s house, they have all been taken away, you can’t fall down."
"If you keep being like this, I’ll look down on you."

Originally, Xiaoxiao also wanted to go up and persuade him, but seeing the brothers’ persuasion, she was relieved, knowing her brother would figure it out and regain his spirit.
This situation really had not been expected to turn out this way.
But when you think about it carefully, the government’s intervention was foreseeable. That magistrate would use any opportunity, especially since this was a legitimate opportunity.
After all, something happened, someone died, endangering the people. The mountain will most likely be sealed, and now we have to think about how to unseal the mountain and get those people back from prison.
Before long, those who went to get Silver came back.
When the Silver was piled there, Xiaoxiao was stunned. The combined Silver of the five families amounted to a full two thousand taels!
What does this mean? Even if averaged out, each family had four hundred taels.
In the countryside, if a typical family had ten or twenty taels, they would be quite well-off, yet she hadn’t expected her family to have this much; they could definitely be called wealthy, and that Stone Mountain indeed generated money.
It turned out that her crossing over was not into a poor family, but a rich one, and she was the sole daughter of a wealthy house, sitting at a high status.
No wonder, her brother said to change the carriage, and it was changed.
No wonder, when she came back to life, her elder uncle said to slaughter a pig, and it was done.
No wonder, the Zhong Family’s food and clothing always looked pretty good.
It wasn’t until now that she realized her family was wealthy.
Such a rich family, yet when she got married, her dowry was so pitifully small, with nothing but those twenty taels of Silver? She used to think it was a lot.
Being so doted on in the Zhong Family, the dowry shouldn’t have been that little. Even her elder uncle and uncles should have given her a lot, right?
Later on, Xiaoxiao finally understood the reason.
It turned out that the original gentle-hearted girl was afraid that her family might scare Yang Ming’s family, so she took the initiative to ask for just twenty taels of Silver. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The girl’s kind intentions, however, were squandered by Xiaoxiao, who spent the twenty taels upon crossing over, infuriating Old Man Zhong who then forbade anyone from giving her Silver.
