Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 10893

No matter how hard you fight, you are still made of flesh and blood, and you will get tired sometimes.

The army is coming, how many can you fight? Right?

Furthermore, you are powerful and your martial arts skills are unparalleled. There are many people like you who have world-class martial arts skills.

The imperial court promises high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and many people are recruited and defected. There are even more people who come to make guns for the imperial court and use you as a certificate of surrender.

Therefore, this is the reason why the Luo family's emblem can be used both black and white in Daqi.

But even so, Yang Ruoqing is still as cautious as ever. There is a saying that sailing with caution is a good thing.

……

Yujia Village, a hundred miles away.

Although it is a sunny day today, for Yu Zhong and his family, the mood is not beautiful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that extreme joy brings sorrow.

This matter has to start a while ago.

Not long ago, due to heavy snow and road closures, Yu Zhong called on the villagers to shovel the snow together, which benefited everyone and cleared the twenty-mile road to the inn for Yang Huazhong and his family.

Afterwards, everyone received corresponding rewards, and the Yu Zhong family was no exception.

Yu Zhong was very happy, so he discussed with his mother-in-law and wanted to use the reward to buy new year goods and buy two sets of new clothes for the children. In previous years, the children at home hardly wore new clothes during the New Year.

The older child wears the adult's clothes, while the younger child wears the older child's clothes, the third child wears the second child's clothes, and so on...

Buy more pork and fish. During the Chinese New Year, the children would eat meat with chopsticks and only taste it briefly. They never got enough of the meaty taste.

With some money left, I can buy two kilograms of soju for my father-in-law and some medicine for my mother-in-law.

Keep the rest of the money and catch a piglet after the New Year.

There is a fat pig weighing more than 100 kilograms in the pig pen at home. This fat pig is not going to be killed during the Chinese New Year, but is planned to be kept until around the Qingming Festival after the new year before being sold.

Then the money from selling the pigs will be used to pay off debts. In the early years when Yu Zhong’s parents were still alive, they took medicine to buy coffins and other things when they were sick. In addition, they owed a lot of foreign debts, and foreign debts all bear interest...

The original plan was to sell the pig within the year, and part of the money from the sale would be used to pay off debts and part to be kept for the New Year.

No, Yang Huazhong gave him wages for shoveling snow, and he had the money for the New Year. So he wanted to delay paying off the debt for a few more months, so that the pigs could grow bigger and fatter, and sell more money, so that he could repay the debt. More debt…

Originally this matter was agreed upon with the creditor, but I don’t know what happened these days. Maybe the creditor saw that Yu Zhong’s family bought ten pounds of pork for the New Year, and also bought two medium-sized grass carps. Well, all of a sudden, several creditors couldn't sit still.

Overturning the previous agreement, they found Yu Zhong's family and asked Yu Zhong and his wife to pay back the money now.

"Brothers, we are also old acquaintances. How come the things we agreed on suddenly changed?"

"Lao Yu, your family has money to buy New Year's goods, but you don't have money to pay off your debts?"

"Look, these twenty kilograms of pork, fish, new clothes for several children, and wine, candy and cakes..."

"Tsk tsk, you've been fatter than us this year, but you're only a few cents behind us? Can't you make sense?"

Several debtors were talking to each other there, no matter how kindly Yu Zhong negotiated, promised, and even promised to give their family an extra two kilograms of pork belly when the pigs were sold during the Qingming Festival...

These creditors seemed to have made an appointment, refusing to accept soft or hard advice. Several of the stools in the main room were sitting here and there.

They crossed their legs, drank tea, and nibbled on the melon seeds and peanuts that Madam Yu Zhong brought out to greet them. The shells were spat all over the ground, and they acted like they would stay here and not leave...

Yu Zhong stood beside him with a smile on his face and said all kinds of nice things...

Several children were also disturbed, and Mrs. Yu Zhong hurriedly took the children to the kitchen. Erni and the others were lying on the kitchen door, looking out from the crack of the door in the direction of the main room with frightened eyes. Dani became more sensible, and the child quietly asked Yu Zhong's mother-in-law: "Mom, will these uncles and uncles always depend on my family for help?" Let’s go?”

"They can leave, and they also want to go home to celebrate the New Year." Mrs. Yu Zhong said with a slightly trembling voice.

She didn't know exactly when these people would leave... Looking at this situation, she was afraid that if she didn't show some sincerity today, she wouldn't be able to explain to them.

But the family really doesn't have much money now, and the last two hundred pennies are reserved for emergencies.

What if the children get sick during the Chinese New Year?

I don’t have a penny left on hand, and I feel unsure.

It's just that these people, really...I heard somewhere that their family made friends with noble people and made a lot of money, so they all came to collect debts...How can they afford to pay back...

Just when there was a stalemate in the main room and the women in the kitchen were panicking, there was a movement outside.

"Uncle Li Zheng, you have a visitor!"

When Yu Zhong heard this, the bitter smile on his face became even worse.

There are a lot of creditors coming to the house. I can’t afford to entertain them. What should I do?

"Haha, we are busy at home and don't have time to be guests." One of the creditors shook his legs and glanced sideways at Yu Zhong, "If you really can't come up with the money, we can also discuss it. It's not the Qingming Festival." no."

"But within this year, we can't run away in vain, and we definitely need some interest!"

"Interest? But the interest earned by these people together is five hundred cents. I only have two hundred cents in total. Can you wait until my family sells the pig?"

"I am Li Zheng, I nail it with spit and nail!"

"Just because you are Li Zheng, we gave you face to lend you money in the first place!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Let's do this. You can bring the twenty kilograms of meat and the two fishes with you. I'll make a tooth sacrifice to you, so this trip won't be in vain."

"What? Is this for toothpaste? Isn't it for interest?" Yu Zhong blurted out.

These people laughed strangely, "This thing is gone in a few bites, how much interest can it pay?"

"Yu Lizheng, you are not being honest here. It is natural to borrow debts and pay back the money. You still don't pay back the money, and you still treat our creditors so harshly?"

"Believe it or not, we have the IOU, and now we are dragging you to the Yamen to reason with you? Even if you get involved with a noble person, the noble person can't teach you not to recognize the IOU written in black and white, right?"

"The emperor has to recognize him, hehe..."

Yu Zhong was at a loss what to do. He looked at the meat and fish that he had bought in the main room and had not yet had time to put away. His face was so tangled that two taels of bitter juice fell off his face!

"Uncle Lizheng, you have a visitor. The carriage has arrived at the door. Why don't you come out to pick it up?"

The villagers' shouts came from outside the house again.

Yu Zhong came to his senses.

"What? Visitors? Carriage?"

He was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind at his feet.

Several creditors looked at each other, put down their legs, stood up, and walked out with doubts on their faces.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Yu Zhong, who heard the commotion, also quietly poked her head out to look around. Several children hiding under her also stuck out their little heads and looked out curiously.
