The handkerchief in Shi's hand fell to the ground in shock. His first reaction was to push Boyuan and said: "Children, please don't talk nonsense. I saw your mother before noon. She's very good. You can't do anything. Already?"

Boyuan burst into tears and said intermittently: "I, I don't know, my father said, if my mother doesn't work, let me call my aunt. Look."

Hearing that it was Boss Zhu who said the words, Fang became really frightened, pushed Boyuan towards Jasmine and said, "You look at my brother, I'll go see your aunt."

Hehua also jumped off the kang when he saw this, grabbed the tung oil umbrella behind the door and followed him out.

Arriving at the door of Mr. Zhu's house, he, Mrs. Yang and Sister Zhu entered the house almost in a hurry. They didn't care whether there was mud under their feet, and they all rushed to the back room to ask what was going on.

Mrs. Li was lying on the kang, her face was very ugly, especially her eyes were covered with a layer of deathly gray, and there was no trace of life at all. They looked completely different from what they had seen in the morning. Two people.

Several people were startled when they saw this, and asked Boss Zhu what was going on. Boss Zhu also looked like he was about to die, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. After being asked for a long time, he took them to the outhouse. Said: "Originally, the morning was fine. She rushed to finish the last work in the fields in the morning. After lunch, she said she wanted to take a rest. But soon after, she complained of pain in her lower back, and then she urinateed with blood when she got up. This, isn’t this the end?”

Yang panicked when she heard this. She shook her body and leaned into Fang's arms. She wished the eldest sister to calm down a little and asked, "Isn't it just a little time?"

Boss Zhu shook his head and said, "I asked her too, and she said no. In less than an hour, she lay down and couldn't get up."

He Hua heard clearly from the side. Although Li usually said that he was not in good health, most of the time he was just staying at home to avoid work. Suddenly, he was busy collecting food day and night for several days. If it caused hematuria, it didn't seem to be a problem. It's not a big deal, but she has no experience in this area. Anyway, she still has to see a doctor before Chapter 65: Coming to your door to collect debt is serious.

Seeing several adults talking about her illness, she couldn't help but said: "No one in our family understands this. If we don't take my aunt to the city to see a doctor quickly, what can you discuss?"

Sister Zhu was the first to come to her senses and said hurriedly: "He Hua is right, we are all in a hurry. No matter what, we send people to see the doctor first." She quickly ordered, "Brother, go and see the doctor." Let’s discuss this matter with your father-in-law first, and then borrow his family’s ox cart with a carriage. My siblings and I will go to the house to tidy up for her. Hehua, go call your father to come over and accompany you. Uncle is going to the city."

After struggling for a long time, Boss Zhu and Zhu Yongxin finally took turns driving into the city. Sister Zhu followed to take care of the Li family, and the two children at home were temporarily left to live with the Yang family.

Because such a big thing happened on Li's side, everyone forgot about the crops harvested by the third family. It rained for several days in succession, and they had to wait for the fields to dry, and then wait. After a few days, the old man's millet was turned out to dry. Then Mrs. Fang remembered to ask Mrs. Liu: "Does your family want to use the ground to dry the grain?"

Ms. Liu had been holding back her anger at home for several days, and she burst out when Ms. Fang came to ask, "Which of you still care about my family? Even if we are angry to death at home and starve to death, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the corpse to stink." Only then did you realize that you were just asking a question in a pretentious manner."

Mrs. Fang ate her meal out of nowhere, glanced at Mrs. Liu's messy hair, and said without giving her any face: "I am helping my eldest brother's family to dry the corn, but I want to ask you kindly, if you If you don't do it, we will make room for you. If you don't do it, then let it go. Where did all the nonsense about life and death come from?"

“Dry your shit,” Mrs. Liu yelled frantically, “The crops have been soaked by the rain, so why bother drying them in the sun?”

At this moment, Mrs. Fang also saw crops piled on the kang in the house, which must have been brought back to dry on the kang. She felt pity for those millet crops, but she said without any sympathy for Mrs. Liu: "My family I came here a long time ago to tell you to harvest the crops, but your family refused to listen. Now they are all soaking in the ground. Who else can you blame? You were also very happy when the family was separated, but now you just look at it. Come out, which family did more work back then, and which family cheated and cheated, right? Now we share the responsibility and share the responsibility. My family is kind enough to give you a few words. That is my family's virtue and good deeds. If I don't care about you even half of it, it's okay. No one can tell a bad thing about my family, so you should stop treating me like a soft persimmon. I usually ignore you because I don’t want to cause discord in the family, so don’t be too aggressive."

It was the first time that Mrs. Liu saw Mrs. Fang like this. She didn't even come back to retort for a while. She let Mrs. Fang scold her and turned around to leave. By the time she wanted to retaliate, she was already gone. , she was so angry that she went back to the house to find fault with others. Seeing that Zhu Laosan was not at home, she asked Shaoyao: "Where did your father die?"

Shaoyao timidly shook her head to express that she didn't know, and reflexively moved towards the corner. She had seen Mrs. Liu like this many times, and every time it meant that she wanted to find someone to make a punching bag. If Zhu Laosan was at home, the two of them would The quarrel passed after a few words, but now that Zhu Laosan was not here, the trouble would most likely fall on him.

When Mrs. Liu saw Shaoyao, she didn't say anything and just hid behind her. Sure enough, she was all angry at her. He stepped forward, grabbed her ears and cursed: "Why are you hiding? I am your mother, and you are hiding from me." ?You crawling bastard, where do you want to hide? Go to your second uncle's house to eat delicious food and drink spicy food? They also have potato eggs to eat. The potato you ate last time made you want to swallow your tongue. , do you wish you were from her family?"

Shaoyao cried and said: "No, mother, I didn't want to go to his house..."

"Have you grown up? How dare you talk back?" Mrs. Liu was so angry that she pinched Shaoyao twice more. Still feeling that it was not enough to relieve her anger, she sat on the edge of the kang with Shaoyao's ears to breathe.

Suddenly I heard a loud bang in the yard, and then someone shouted: "Is Zhu Yongpeng's family here? Is anyone alive? Come out."

Mrs. Liu's mind turned around a few times before she remembered that Zhu Yongpeng was talking about her own man. She didn't know what had happened, so she didn't dare to go out rashly. She let go of Shaoyao's ears and tiptoed to the door. , peeking out from the crack in the door, I saw five or six broad-shouldered men wandering around in the courtyard.

Zhu Laosi came out of the room opposite and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing with my third brother?"

"Are you Zhu Yongpeng's younger brother?" The leading man glanced at Zhu Laosi, "We are here to collect the debt, will you pay him back?"

"Dealing for debt?" Zhu Laosi frowned when he heard this, and shouted to the other side, "Third sister-in-law, come out and see, who do you and third brother owe?"

Mrs. Liu originally wanted to pretend that she was not at home, but she was lying on the crack in the door looking worried. Suddenly the door was pulled open from the outside. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. She stood up and started to beat around. He said: "My family didn't ask anyone to borrow money. Could it be a mistake?"

"Your man's name is Zhu Yongpeng?" A man held a receipt in front of Ms. Liu's eyes and said, "See clearly, your man has been fingerprinted. Now he is with us, waiting for you to redeem him with money. Man, if you don’t give me the money today, we will chop off one of his fingers. If you delay for one more day, we will chop off one more. If all ten fingers are chopped off and you still haven’t paid back, that’s not right. If you live, you can only chop off your head."

Mrs. Liu was illiterate at all. She collapsed on the ground after being treated like this. She asked tremblingly: "How much does he owe you?"

"Not much, just twenty taels." The leader said lightly.

When Mrs. Liu heard about twenty taels, she rolled her eyes and almost fainted. Twenty taels of silver was enough to feed and clothe her family of three for several years. Half of the crops from the previous autumn harvest were rotten in the ground. Originally, She couldn't collect any more money, and now she owed another twenty taels. Wouldn't this cost her life

"Hurry up and tell me whether you want to give it or not." The leader raised his foot and kicked Liu's leg. "We don't like to embarrass others. If you are tight on money, give us a few first." Two, so that your man can live more comfortably in our hands, and at least he can come back with all his arms and legs."

Zhu Laosi stood aside. He knew very well that these people were specifically asking for money for others. If he offended them, it would be a trivial matter for the family to be uneasy in the future. He was afraid that these evil-doing people would attack children and the elderly. Something was going wrong, so he stepped forward and said: "Brothers, please sit down and drink some water first. Let's talk slowly. My third sister-in-law is a woman who has never seen the world. Seeing the momentum of these eldest brothers, , was so frightened that she couldn’t speak clearly, and let her go back to the house to look for it. Even if we can’t collect the money for the time being, we still have a few brothers. Each family can help to collect some, and we must first collect the money from the eldest brothers. It’s serious to pay back the money, isn’t it?”

"This little brother is a sensible person, and his words are also helpful. Come on, it's not easy for us to make a big fuss when we come here for the first time. You can raise the money first. We will come at this time tomorrow. When the time comes, Pay the money with one hand and release the person with the other, so your brother won't suffer." The leader waved his hand, and several big men followed him and filed out.

Zhu Laosi ignored the door that had been kicked open and went inside to comfort the frightened Mrs. Yang and several children. Then he went to ask Mr. Liu how much money he could give. He had just seen the IOU for the painting. , what is written above is indeed twenty taels.

Ms. Liu was rummaging around in the room and suddenly let out a heart-rending cry: "Zhu Yongpeng, you are the one who got a thousand knives. You stole all the few coins left at home. Where can I get the twenty coins?" Two silver coins”
