Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 141
Thinking happily all the way, Wen Shu came to the land temple again before he knew it.

It's not that she is not obsessed with this place, but that there are stalls on both sides of the city gate for a mile, and she walked along the stalls and came here without knowing it.

This place is two miles away from the city gate, and there are only rolling mountains behind except for a lonely earth temple.

There are a few small villages in front of them. The location is not bad. Although it is not lively, it is not so remote and uninhabited.

The most important thing is that there is a shrine here.

She opened a teahouse next to her, so she can get a lot of money no matter what, and if there are any strange things in the future, she can also blame the land father-in-law.

Maybe, needless to say, people will also treat it as the land father-in-law.

Wandering around and choosing a place to build a shed, Wen Shu went up to the nearby mountain again, intending to look for a few pieces of wood that could be used as pillars in his free time.

The wood for the tea shed does not need to be too thick, just moderate. Such wood is actually easy to find.

Father Wen is considered a half-carpenter, and under the influence of Wen Shu's ears and eyes, he knows what kind of tree can be used as a beam and pillar, which is durable and not easy to rot.

After a while, she asked her to find eight suitable pieces of wood.

However, because she didn't bring an ax this time, even though she found the wood, she could only remember their approximate location, and she would chop down the mountain and dry it next time she brought an ax.

Because it had just rained an hour ago, the mountain road was slippery at the moment, and Wen Shu had a hard time walking down the mountain to avoid slipping and falling. Fortunately, there were many plants and trees in the forest, so he went down smoothly just by holding on to it all the way. up the mountain.

But when he was approaching the foot of the mountain, he suddenly heard someone talking below.Stretching out his head, he saw a person kneeling in front of the Earth Temple.

No, to be precise, it was a woman with a child in her arms.

Mrs. Zhao?Why is she here?Isn't Goudan's illness already cured, so what is she begging for?

Looking at the somewhat familiar figure, Wen Shu was puzzled when he saw two men rushing up the official road behind Mrs. Zhao, both in their 30s.

"Sister-in-law Huai thinks that worshiping God is useful! It's only natural to pay off debts. Your father-in-law Cui Huai has died, so we will ask you for the debt."

Mrs. Zhao hugged the dog egg, turned her head and glared at the two of them: "You are talking nonsense! Da Lang never got back the family money. This was done against you, I don't admit it."

"Oh, how can you deny it in black and white?" A man shook the deed and stepped forward, "Cui Huai borrowed it from Wang Xingqian before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he promised to pay it back in February today. Pass, interest five passes. There is his fingerprint on it, even if we go to court, we are not afraid."

"That's right. As for why he didn't take the money home, we don't care about it. Maybe he raised a child outside." Another man stepped forward and said, "Now it's past the repayment time, call us I also called in advance, if sister-in-law Huai refuses to pay back the money, either the interest rate will continue to increase, or I will see you in court, and the money will still have to be paid back at that time, and your reputation as a woman will be ruined."

"You guys." Mrs. Zhao trembled with anger while holding the dog egg, but she was powerless to refute.

Wen Shu frowned slightly, thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and deliberately coughed heavily.

Hearing the sound, all three of them looked at her, she supported the tree trunk to get down, and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, I went up the mountain just now, and I accidentally heard what some of you said, it was really an unintentional mistake."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the person who came out of the mountain suddenly, like a drowning person catching straw, but after thinking about it, the straw was too thin to save her, so why dragged her into the water together, so she looked at it and murmured a few times, He didn't say anything in the end, just bowed his head and wept.

The dog in his arms also cried out, and saw a beautiful sister coming down from the mountain. This sister gave him candy, and he remembered that he was busy and yelled at Wen Shu: "Sister, hug."

The voice fell, and the scene fell silent.

Mrs. Zhao hugged the dog in her arms tightly in astonishment, while the two men looked at Wen Shu, raised their eyebrows and said, "You guys know each other."

"We have met a few times." Wen Shu laughed dryly, seeing Goudan crying pitifully, stepped forward to pick him up, and helped Mrs. Zhao who was kneeling on the ground together.

"I advise Sister Huai to make a decision as soon as possible. The family has no money to use the house, and the land can be mortgaged. Otherwise, the interest will be huge, or it will go to court, and there will be no good results."

Hearing this, Wen Shushu interrupted and said: "Well... I am also acquainted with this sister-in-law. I just heard from the two of you that her husband-in-law borrowed your money. I wonder if I can look at the IOU for her."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let this little lady show me."

She was illiterate, and had always been afraid that the IOU was a fake. Now that someone she knew was willing to read it for her, she could only wish for it.

The two strong men looked at Wen Shu several times, and seeing that she was weak and slender, and she looked harmless, they nodded, but they still cautiously did not hand over the IOU to her, but held it in their hands and unfolded it for her to see. .

Wen Shu glanced at it, and found that what was written on the paper was indeed consistent with what the two of them said just now, but she didn't recognize Mrs. Zhao's husband-in-law, so she didn't know if the handprint was real.

After telling the truth to Mrs. Zhao, Wen Shu sighed softly.According to her superficial experience, this IOU is probably true.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's face turned ashen. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence, "I'm going to the yamen for an appraisal. If it is confirmed that it is Dalang's handprint, I will accept the debt." gone."

No matter under what circumstances Da Lang signed the IOU, and where the money went, as long as there was his fingerprint on it, she couldn't help but deny it.

The two men smiled and said: "Yes, but the appraisal fee has to be paid by Mrs. Huai herself." Whoever told her that this was proposed by her, there is no reason for them to pay for it.

Mrs. Zhao had clearly thought it over a long time ago. At this time, she turned to Wen Shu with a pale complexion, "If you believe me, can you lend me the second penny? Don't worry, after the appraisal is completed, no matter whether it is selling the land or what, I will take care of it first." Stay tight and be a little lady."

Wen Shu has dealt with her a few times, let's just talk about debt collection, obviously it's not just today, but yesterday Mrs. Zhao gave her two pennies for selling fruit, and this alone is enough to show her personality Taste.

"Okay, but I don't have so much money with me, so let me go back and get it."

"Thank you little lady, thank you little lady, I, Zhao Wuniang, will never forget my little lady's kindness and virtue." Lady Zhao bowed repeatedly.

"Sister-in-law is serious."

"Let's go, before the yamen is in the yamen, I quickly took the comparison document, and settled the matter, and saved us from making trouble every day." With this kind of skill, it would be great to go to Wazi to listen to the opera.

Next, Mrs. Zhao went home to get the land deed and land deed and other documents for comparison, while Wen Shu went back to the city to get the money.
