For the neighbor next door, Li Qinghe will inevitably pay more attention to it. The weather is hot recently, and it is better to take the child out in the morning and evening. After the two looked at each other, Zhou Chengkang held the child and led her across the grassland Went to Yang's house.
The door of the Yang family was open, and Li Qinghe was not familiar with the people standing in the yard, but he barely knew them. They were all from Wang village. They were there when they bought pork last time, but they didn't expect to come again today.
"It doesn't make sense that we are going to starve to death and still care about this contract. You have made a good plan. When we are all dead, you don't have to pay back the debt, right?"
"I think it is!"
"You have no conscience, let us drink some soup if you eat meat..."
"My family really has no food, otherwise I wouldn't come to the door. Master Yang, take pity on our family..."
"Today you can either borrow food or pay back the money, you choose one!"
The crowd was making a fuss, and they were all holding hoes and sickles, shouting in the yard. Father Yang is comforting.
The two looked at each other and quietly backed away.
These people are probably used to making troubles. They know what the Yang family is afraid of. After they have succeeded twice, they will be ready when they come to the door again.
One is that there are so many people that they have to squeeze into the yard. The second is fierce enough, with a hoe and sickle, there is no room for negotiation at all, and it overwhelms Father Yang in momentum. Three, we have to be of one mind, no matter how intimidating the Yang family is, they just won't leave.
In fact, it is only June, and the autumn harvest will be at the end of July at the earliest, and there is still more than a month to go. Many people in the village are indeed out of food. As far as Li Qinghe knows, many people eat some coarse grains and green vegetables from the ground, although they only drink A person who is full of water is not hungry, but he will never starve to death.
There were indeed many droughts in many places last year, but there was really no such thing as Wangcun. Most people quietly sold their food and used sweet potatoes to make do with it. Don't look at eating shit now, it's just that you don't work in the slack season and don't want to spend money to buy food.
These people came to the door, perhaps just using this excuse to force the Yang family, their family has a total of more than four acres of wasteland over there, and it may take many years to rely on that to pay back the money of the villagers.
I don't know if there are any outsiders in other people's houses about money, but just looking at the nourishing life that the Yang family has lived in this year, everyone's family is muddled, and it can be seen that they still have white flour steamed buns. The Yang family definitely has money. However, I don't know if I can repay the debts owed by the villagers.
Those who are early will definitely get it, but those who are late will not get it if the Yang family does not have it. If it's really not up by then, can they still bite the Yang family
Thinking of this, Li Qinghe lowered his voice and said, "Go and tell my aunt."
It's not that she wants to make troubles to cause trouble for the Yang family, but that if they really fall behind at that time, they will not be able to pay their debts, but it will be for nothing.
Zhou Chengkang nodded slightly. As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Xu's mother rushing over with a few children. Seeing the two of them, he frowned and asked, "What's going on inside?"
"I don't know." Li Qinghe shook his head, and after saying a word, the two returned home from the barren grass on the other side.
Although the Yang family didn't live in the village, they could still hear such a big commotion. The two of them had finished the meal, but the noise from the next door was getting louder, almost toppling the roof of the house. It can be seen that no one is stupid, and more and more people are coming.
The two were still eating when someone knocked on the door. They went to open it and found that it was Fifth Sister. She entered the door with a smile, "There are many people next door. My mother said that she is afraid that I will bump into it. Just let me come here and listen."
That's right, with so many people making trouble, it's really easy to fight.
"Let's eat together." Li Qinghe greeted.
Fifth Sister was not too polite, she started to eat with a bowl, and helped to clean up the dishes after eating, listening to the noise from the next door gradually getting quieter, "Is it all right?"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Xingwang and Liu Shi to come over and thank you sincerely, "If you didn't call me, I wouldn't even know that the next door is paying wages."
It's not wages, these people are forcing them to pay.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the Yang family looks rich, but they are actually Lao Lai. I missed this time, I don't know that it will be posted again in the year of the monkey, and when they take the initiative to post, I'm afraid it will be impossible in this life.
Fifth Sister couldn't help asking, "Is it finished?"
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "No way, there was a commotion, the Yang family didn't recognize it at first, insisting that it was written about the autumn harvest, and there are still two or three months left. Everyone refused, so they changed their words and said that there are not so many, and only 30% of it... She took a sip of the tea and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "These people refused to agree, and they only let go of it later."
Li Xingwang had already finished drinking the water, and sighed, "Half of it is fine. If you can't get the rest, just treat yourself as a meal."
At that time when the Yang family invited people, Li Qinghe hired people for fifteen yuan, and there was a meal at noon, and everyone paid the same price. It's just that their family doesn't want to cook and is in debt, so it's only twenty-five cents. Last year I didn't pay it back, and there was a commotion among the crowd, and then it was raised to thirty, and now it's half of it, which is fifteen cents a day. Li Xingwang was right when he said that.
There were people making noise all day long next door, and at night, some people really refused to leave without getting their wages. They couldn't stay in the Yang family's yard and slept directly outside the yard.
It's summer now, so he won't catch a cold. In the afternoon of the next day, the Yang family paid off their wages, so it was considered dismissal.
There are people coming and going next door, and occasionally someone knocks on the door. The two cut sweet potato vines to dry at home, and when people come, they come in to sit in the yard.
Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, and everyone is about to get their wages, the villagers are very happy when they talk about the harvest in the field.
At night, after everyone had left, the door was closed, and the two of them planned to boil water, wash and sleep, but someone knocked on the door.
Li Qinghe went to drive, but it was Father Yang, he smiled, "Qinghe, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Zhou Chengkang heard from the yard, "Come in."
Father Yang sat under the eaves after entering the door, feeling a little dejected, "My family really has no money, even food, which is converted into silver to pay off debts. Can your family lend me some money to buy food?"
Borrow money
Seeing that he paid so much wages in the past two days, it took several taels of silver to send everyone away. He had always said no before, but now he just took it out. Who would believe his words
Besides, Li Qinghe and the others didn't owe him anything. Zhou Chengkang smiled and shook his head, "I don't have any money either. It seems that we have a lot of things at home, but our family can't do the work. We have to hire someone to take care of the acres of wasteland every year..." He paused, "I still have some sweet potatoes in the cellar. , the taste is not very good after hiding for a year, if you don’t dislike it, you can take a few dozen catties back, and you can pay it back after planting it next year.”
Father Yang was dumbfounded.
The tone of the words is very generous, this year's autumn harvest is coming soon, don't want him to return it, and will return it next year.
Seeing him stunned, Li Qinghe also said, "This is the only thing that can help you. If you don't like eating that stuff, there's nothing we can do about it."
People in the village were hit by a drought last year. Many people have eaten this no matter whether the food is sold or not, but the Yang family...has something new, so it should be that they have never eaten it as a meal.
Father Yang finally came to his senses and explained, "No, I will pay you interest on the loan of silver, and twenty taels of silver will be repaid to you thirty taels. You can ask the village chief to write the deed."
I can't lend you twenty taels of silver!
Besides, the wealth is not revealed, and the village head is asked to write a deed. If they borrow it today, many people will know that they have twenty taels tomorrow. Isn't this inviting thieves to come to their door
Zhou Chengkang spread his hands and dragged his arms to send him out, "No. Master Yang was joking, don't say twenty taels, just don't have two taels. It's getting late, we have to wash up, it's inconvenient."
This is not to send him out, it is simply pushed out. In the next two days, I heard that the Yang family was borrowing money everywhere, and even Yang Lanrou was driven back to the Xu family.
After borrowing it for a while, Father Yang came back and took twenty catties of sweet potatoes back.
The sweet potatoes that have been stored for a year have a shell on the outside, and the taste is a bit too ripe, and it is really not very tasty. Since Father Yang came to pick it up, it may really be the end of the mountain. It is worth mentioning that no sweet potatoes were grown in the Yang family's wasteland this year. There are four people in their family, and the little harvest in the wasteland may not be enough to eat.
The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and Li Qinghe accidentally found out that Zhao Wanwan had moved back, and also found out that Hu's mother was looking for a concubine for her son. According to the law, a scholar can take a concubine.
After Zhao Wanwan came back, she didn't go to Zhao's house, but directly went back to Qian's house to live with Qian's.
On the second day after she came back, Qian took her to the town to find the mayor to make a decision, and said: Her younger brother hurt his own parents in order to get the funeral ceremony. Someone instigated such a frenzied thing.
The one who instigates Qian Laiwen is Qian Laixing, who gets along with him the most on weekdays. And she mentioned this matter again after a few years, because Zhao Wanwan only heard Hu Yanxi mention it after she was drunk.
It was about two talented people in Luoyue Town, and the mayor attached great importance to it. He specially wrote a book and went to the county seat to report it to the magistrate Lin for his decision.
Especially Qian Laixing, if this is true, and Qian Laixing really provoked him, then not only is he not famous as a scholar, but he may still be questioned.
When the news spread, everyone was even more surprised. The Qian couple were also Qian Laixing's grandparents after all. They grew up in front of them. Qian Laixing was too ruthless. What did these two brothers study
Killing one's relatives to get funeral money to spend, such a vicious idea, one dared to come up with it, and the other dared to put it into action, it really succeeded.
If Zhao Wanwan hadn't said it, no one would have known about it for the rest of her life.
