Chapter 149 Debt Collection

He brought out Nie Qiuran's breakfast, and after he had eaten, he loaded him into the carriage. Although it was dark at the moment, the rooster next door had already crowed twice, and in a short while, the sky would be getting darker. It gradually became brighter, and Cui Wei knew that Nie Qiuran came back quietly this time, so she didn't dare to keep him any longer. After sending Nie Qiuran out of the door, Nie Qiuran didn't let her see him off, so she just let her go. I went out for a stroll, and when I came back, I locked the door and fell asleep again.

This time Cui Wei was woken up by someone. When she opened her eyes, the sky was bright and the sun was hot outside. When Cui Wei came out, she saw porridge on the table. Cui Jingping was not at home, but the door was open. Half-covered, there were still some water marks in the yard, so you knew he was out to fetch water, the noise next door was as lively as if a pot had exploded, and Yang's crying could not stop, sometimes mixed with Cui Shifu's loud roar , Cui Wei was also a little curious, originally she wanted to sneak over to have a look, but when she thought about Yang's temper, she sounded very angry now, if she passed by, there was no guarantee that Yang would not take her anger out on her, Just thinking about using a method to see it, Cui Jingping came back carrying water.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Cui Wei was measuring the height of the yard wall, thinking how many stools would be enough, when she heard Cui Jingping's question, she answered without thinking, and Cui Jingping went back to the house panting After pouring the well water from the bucket into the tank, he stuck out his tongue and came over with a blushing face. While flipping up the hem of his clothes to fan the wind, he said, "I'll think of a way for you." He entered the room while talking In a short while, the big dining table 'Voyage Voyage' was pushed and lifted out. As soon as Cui Wei saw this situation.Suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, but this table is indeed high, once it is placed under the wall, add two stools on it, as long as you hold on to the stones on the top of the wall, you can see the scene on the opposite side with your feet on tiptoe.

Cui's house was very noisy, Cui Wei couldn't bear it after all, she climbed onto the table supported by Cui Jingping, and stuck her hand firmly on the stone brick.Sure enough, through the fence, the eyes saw the scene of Cui's house behind the slightly lower fence on the other side.

"Erlang, where did you go? What crime did I do? After finally returning one son, another one ran away!" Yang cried with snot and tears.Sitting on the ground patting his thighs, Cui Shifu's face was livid, surrounded by villagers, all of them were looking at Cui's house, and no one noticed the child lying on the other side of the wall.Kong cried and knelt in the middle of the courtyard, his hair was all messed up.The first few palm prints on the cheeks looked like they had been slapped by Mrs. Yang.At this moment, Mrs. Yang looked at her as if she wanted to eat people, and cursed: "You loser, it will not be a good thing to come back after marrying you, and you can't even look down on a man. You drop things every now and then, you useless bitch, what use is it to take you. Go to hell!" The Kong family didn't fight back, just kept crying on their knees.It's pitiful to look at.

Cui Wei was taken aback when she heard this, she originally wanted to lower her head and talk to Cui Jingping, but when she turned her head, she saw him lying on the wall, her eyelids twitched, and she whispered to Cui Jingping : "Third Brother, Second Brother also ran away?"

A single word made Cui Jingping's face flush red. He went to fetch water when he got up in the morning. The Cui family was noisy, so he didn't go to take a look. How could he know this? He didn't hear about Cui Jingzhong's disappearance until now. I don't know how the well-behaved Cui Jingzhong also learned the trick of running away from home. Could it be that he really has the guts to run away from home?

Although Cui Jingzhong looks very beautiful on the surface, he was even called the number one scholar in the past, but he has been studying in Xiaowan Village, and his classmates are all children from the village. Type, unlike Nie Qiuran who is quick-witted and knows how to make money. It can be said that he has no money on him. Is it possible for him to work with others to earn tuition fees like Cui Jingping did when he went out like this?Then such words really exceeded Cui Wei's expectations!

Cui's family had a commotion for a long time, Kong's face turned red at the end, but he didn't dare to fight back, and just lay on the ground crying, but unfortunately he couldn't arouse Yang's sympathy, thinking that she lost herself as a woman Her husband is really useless. Many people in the village think that Kong is useless, and of course there are some who sympathize with her. Cui Wei thought about Cui Jingzhong's matter in her heart, and then glanced over there, and then hurriedly jumped off the table. .The two brothers and sisters tidied up and carried the table into the room, and moved the stools in. At noon, Cui Shifu brought blues to Cui Wei. He smiled, but his expression was a little gloomy.

After asking, I found out that Cui Jingzhong left, but took away more than 200 copper coins remaining after the family built a house for him. This is the money that the Cui family left for urgent use. At that time, if there is no money and no people, is it possible to let the rice rot into the ground?This is the chewing food for the whole family in the coming year!No wonder Cui Shifu is still full of anger now. It is completely different from his anxiety when Cui Jingping disappeared. Now his face is full of anger. When Cui Wei mentioned Cui Jingzhong's name, he couldn't help but curse:

"This evil!" After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but shook his head. Cui Wei saw that he had a lot of white hair on his head, and couldn't help but feel a little sour. After going back to the city and buying a house, Nie Qiuran She also gave her three taels of silver when she left, and Cui Wei was not polite to him. In fact, if it wasn't for Nie Qiuran's three taels of silver, she would have lost a single copper coin in her hand. Seeing Cui Shifu's appearance now, she thought about it He simply went into the house and took out a bunch of copper coins, and put them in front of Cui Shifu at once.

"Father, don't worry, take the money to harvest the rice first." The string of copper coins looks like three or four hundred coins. If it wasn't for Cui Wei who was afraid that she would have to buy something when she went to the market, she could give it to Cui Shifu A little bit, but she was afraid that if Mrs. Yang found out, she would be greedy again, so after thinking about it, she only counted these for him.When Cui Shifu saw the money, he quickly stood up, shook his head and said:

"The trouble your second brother caused, there is no reason for you to pay for it. Don't worry, no matter how bad it is, I will ask someone to hit the rice first, and then sell some grain to top it up. It won't be true. Use yours."

The daughter is so sensible, and when she thinks that Cui Jingzhong, who was protected by the Yang family, has become such a virtuous person now, Cui Shifu has mixed feelings in her heart. Cui Wei just pushed the money away from him. She originally thought that Cui Jingzhong was With backbone, who would have thought that such an incident would happen in the end? It is really speechless. She knows the situation of the Cui family, especially Cui Jingzhong just married his wife and built a house for him. I am afraid that Cui Shifu's hands are tight Yes, if he really sells the food to bear it, I am afraid that the remaining food will run out within a few months, and even if he can find someone to borrow it, it will be a vicious circle.

"Father, take it, and just give it to me when you have money in the future. I have more now, and you helped me make so many bamboo plants. You should give this money to you!" Cui Shifu heard Cui Wei's words , I waved my hand in a hurry: "It's just a few blue coins, how can you use so much money, you pick it up yourself, and save it for later use..."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Wei had already taken the money and stuffed it into his hands without any explanation. The well-behaved and sensible daughter couldn't help but sighed again.

At first, Cui Wei thought that the money was enough for the Cui family to get through this hurdle, at least to survive the rice harvesting. Unexpectedly, three or four days later, Cui Jingzhong still had no news.When Cui Wei rushed home early in the morning, she saw a large circle of people in front of Cui's house. The Cui family didn't know what kind of bad luck they had this year, and they became like this almost every day. There was a lot of excitement. Among the crowd, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Kong were dragged out by a few brawny men wearing coarse coats with bare breasts. Mrs. Yang was crying like a butcher, Mrs. Kong was also crying miserably, Cui Wei Seeing Mrs. Yang looking this way, she knew that something was wrong with the Cui family at the first sight. She was afraid that Mrs. Yang would drag her into a scapegoat again, so she quickly dragged Cui Jingping and ran home.

When Yang saw her daughter at the beginning, her eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, when she saw Cui Weili ignored her and ran towards the room behind her, she almost vomited blood in anger. Shi's hand refused to let go, and everyone immediately scuffled into one.

A few men in the crowd who looked similar to street rogues said loudly: "You Cui family, don't bully us, life is not easy for brothers, if you want to renege on your debts, you have to ask our brothers about this matter. We will not be afraid wherever we go, it is only natural to pay back the debt, if I can’t pay it today, I will drag this bitch to pay off the debt!”

Cui Wei walked to the door of the house, and the voice was still heard clearly, and the number of villagers going home from the market gradually increased, and many people didn't even bother to go back to the house, so they stood and watched from a distance, Seeing that there were too many people, Cui Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but she was relieved when she entered the room. The Yang family on the other end also cried sharply, shouting that she was robbing someone, and cursing on the other hand.

That Mrs. Kong has always looked weak and frail, she was scared out of her wits by being dragged like this, crying loudly, Cui Shifu went to the market to sell a few chickens and ducks, thinking that he would return Cui Wei's when he had collected enough money. Unexpectedly, when he saw such a farce when he came back, he was so angry that his forehead jumped up, and he yelled: "Stop! What are you doing, come to my house and talk!" Cui Jinghuai also picked up a pair of empty baskets and followed him. Beside him, the baskets had already been thrown aside at this moment, and the seven or eight men who were not easy to provoke at first sight were glaring at them. (To be continued.
