Deng Dalang sighed immediately. Needless to ask, sun Cuihua's goal must have been achieved. Otherwise, there would not have been a couple coming to collect the debt.
"My mother-in-law keeps making trouble at home every day. She wants me to come and ask for money. How can I do that? What's the difference between that and animals?"
Zhou Changgen kept saying that he had to, so he just came to the door with a thick face.
"Cousin, as you know, I'm the one who is in charge of the family. This medicine can't be broken. Where can we get the fifteen taels of silver?"
Zhou Changgen replied with a smile: "I didn't ask you to return all these things. I've put all these things in my eyes. My mother-in-law, under my persuasion, has planned to go to the town tomorrow to recruit my younger brother and follow me to see if they can think of some ways."
Ji Chunhua heard, secretly relieved, OK!
"However, even if my daughters can make a few pieces of silver to go back to their mother's house, they have to go to the County Yamen to buy land and transfer ownership. As soon as they go, they have to send the kids. Naturally, they have a lot of money on hand."
The kids he talked about were naturally the Yamen servants who helped with the work.
"This..." Ji Chunhua has no idea.
"Cousin, if there are too many words, I'm afraid my family can't take them out. Today, Dalao's medicine costs hundreds of Wen a day, and the copper plate of the golden drum is only enough for his family's expenses." Ji Chunhua whispered more and more, and her old face was ashamed.
Because of the debt, Ji Chunhua and her temper have converged a lot, and she dare not offend the people in the village easily.
What's more, in front of Zhou Changgen, the creditor, he couldn't lift his head.
Zhou Changgen looked at her with a smile and said, "seven or eight Liang silver is always needed. Only two mu of land will cost ten Liang. He has to invite the village head and the witnesses to have a meal, drink a glass of water and wine, and travel to and from the county seat. If something is delayed, he has to spend a night in the county seat."
Ji Chunhua may not know, but Deng Dalang knows that he is telling the truth.
"The family won't sell the field for a while. It's still a month before the autumn harvest. My family will pay you back after raising money. What do you think?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhou Changgen sighed and said, "I don't mind if you say so. The left and right families don't just want to move away. However, I still have to explain that I'm really afraid of dreaming too much at night. It's not only my family that stares at his two acres of land, but I'm not the only rich one in our village."
Deng Dalang and Ji Chunhua fell silent again. They didn't know what to say for a moment.
Looking at the heat, Zhou Changgen was ready to explain his real purpose.
Before, his mother-in-law went back here. Sun Cuihua told Zhou Changgen that Lin Anxin was sharp and sharp, and that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She looked warm, but she was a good girl. She never thought that she didn't get half a penny in the hands of the dead girl.
This made Zhou Changgen have to pay attention to it. He didn't really take Lin Anxin seriously before, but he was an honest child daughter-in-law, so he had to let him round and flat and play?
Sun Cuihua's words this morning reminded him that barking dogs don't bite, and barking dogs bite hard.
Therefore, he asked sun Cuihua to cook lunch early, and then he came to the Deng family.
"By the way, there's something I think about. I think it's time to wake you up." Zhou Changgen's face is for the sake of two people.
"However, I have to put the scandal in front of me. I only said it because I was reading the idea. Otherwise, if you don't believe me, I will have to complain."
It's good that he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, he aroused the curiosity of Deng Dalang and Ji Chunhua.
"Cousin, we are relatives. When we were in our mother's house, my mother and your mother used to be close. It's not too much to say that we are one family. That is to say, relatives are one family. Don't talk about two families."
"Yes, Chunhua is right, cousin. If you have anything to say, don't keep it in your heart. After you say it, Chunhua and I will take it easy." Naturally, Zhou Changgen will not hide Deng Dalang's statement.
After he pretended to shirk for a while, he was forced to look helpless and had to say it.
"Even if you two really want to know, don't blame me for talking too much!"
Then, he said that his mother-in-law came to Deng's house first, and was accepted back by Lin Anxin.
Ji Chunhua and Deng Dalang don't believe it. Lin Siya, the original owner, is so honest. He has little words, great strength, and works a lot. That's a model of hard work!
"Cousin, is my cousin wrong?" Deng Dalang is skeptical.
That girl is a obedient child. Besides, in the past, the second daughter of his family carried her mother-in-law behind her back. She would fight and scold if she wanted to. The child could squeeze two tears at most, howl twice, and then call her to do whatever she wanted!
Ji Chunhua also doesn't believe it, because Lin Anxin told her before. She suspects that sun Cuihua is hiding from her family, so she is angry with her daughter-in-law, which annoys the child.
"No, the boy is honest! I don't scold her less in my daily life. I haven't seen her talk so hard. "If sun Cuihua is so sharp, Ji Chunhua must be 10000 people.
"I said that good people can't do it. I said that your child daughter-in-law's temperament has long been left. You two insisted that I say it, and you didn't believe it, which made me a stranger inside and outside." Zhou Changgen complained a lot.
On the contrary, it made the other two embarrassed.
"Cousin, that's not what I mean. It's just that the girl is a quail with a shrunken head. What you said is not like her temperament." Once again, the spring flower shows.
"Come on, believe it or not, anyway, I didn't come here to correct her bad temper."
Zhou Changgen repeatedly waved his hand, thinking that his mother-in-law was in a stake. Ji Chunhua opposed to selling the girl of the Lin family to Fucheng, but he refused to send her to the kiln. He thought about how to speak later and what his mother-in-law said. Deng Dalang was a little moved.
I think so. He is the master of the family and can't earn money to support the family. No matter how good a child's daughter-in-law is, it's no better than white money.
"But then again, in your family's present situation, should you consider that one?" He pointed to the east wing.
Deng Dalang took a look at Ji Chunhua. Sure enough, her face was very ugly. If Zhou Changgen wasn't her mother's cousin, she would have scratched it.
"Well, cousin, even though our Deng family is poor, we have been good and virtuous since our ancestors. We can't do that kind of immoral thing that has been poked in the spine. Besides, our golden hairpin is still in the Lin family!"
Zhou Changgen laughs. In Deng Dalang's words, he means to take a long-term view. This is easy to handle.
Although he didn't know why his mother-in-law had to take the girl from the Lin family to the brothel in Fucheng, Ji Chunhua didn't agree. She had no choice but to come up with a good idea.
"Dalao, look what you said. Chunhua is my cousin. Can I not follow her? On that day, my mother-in-law was a little anxious. One was that she wanted to get back some money to buy a field, and the other was that she was really thinking about you and your wife. Let's not say anything else. Take Jin Gu for example, she was only ten years old. She was a child and had to shoulder the burden of supporting her family when she was young. We both looked at her and felt the pain in our body. "
These words, fiercely poke in the Deng family's heart.
Zhou Changgen was very proud. He was learning from his eldest son-in-law when he spoke like this. His eldest daughter said it. If he said it like this, people would feel comfortable and convenient.
What's more, it seems that he is literate and worthy of being called master Zhou!
Ji Chunhua was moved and her eyes were red: "cousin, it's still my mother's family."
"Tut, don't be sad. How old are you? I'm not happy to cry. When Jinsuo sees it, he can't laugh at you." Zhou Changgen said it as if he was doting on the spring flowers.
"Well, it's the first time that I've lived for so many years. I lost my mind and didn't know how to live." Ji Chunhua doesn't want Deng Jingu to work too hard, but there is always someone in her family who can support her family. She wants to help, but she can't make a living as a peddler.
"Cousin, what kind of business have you found? Do you have any way?" There was a flash of light in Deng Dalang's eyes.
Having touched the copper plate every day, he was unwilling to rely on his son and mother-in-law for the rest of his life.
Zhou Changgen said, "I have the heart to show you a clear way. I'm afraid Chunhua won't agree with me. Chunhua, I don't mean you. No matter how good an outsider is, it's also an outsider. Can you compare with Dalao, golden drum and golden lock?"
Ji Chunhua did not cry, with a pair of red eyes, looked at Zhou Changgen: "cousin, I said before, no matter what you say, we will not blame you."
Just as Zhou Changgen said before that Lin Anxin's temperament had been raised, Ji Chunhua didn't believe it at all. Although she suspected that sun Cuihua was deliberately provoking their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, her mouth was tightly tied, and she didn't show any breath.
"You don't blame me, and I can't bear your family's decline. Speaking of it, Jin Gu peed on my neck when I was a child. The baby with a long handle looks as big as it is now. Can I not hurt him?"
Zhou Changgen was distressed one by one, reluctant to give up one by one, but when he was collecting the debt, he didn't feel that this was forcing the Deng family too hard.
In any case, in order to return the money, the Deng family, who had been forced to do nothing, heard that he had a good idea, but there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
"Cousin, please speak quickly. I know you must be for the good of our family."
Ji Chunhua is busy urging him to say.
The debt, like a mountain on the back, is so heavy that the spring flowers are almost out of breath.
Deng Dalang vaguely guessed what he wanted to say. In all the poor families in these ten li and eight townships, except for those who are immoral, who send their daughters to brothels to get more money, there is another way.
This is also a more acceptable method.
