Pastoral affairs

"What are you doing? Cui Dazhuangyuan borrowed seven cents of money from our brother, and now it's time to pay it back, and you haven't paid it back yet. You guys are so honest, you don't want to renege on the debt now, right?" Rolling up his sleeves, he walked towards Cui Shifu and his son with a sneer.Seeing this situation, Mrs. Yang became very anxious, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and she didn't dare to look at Cui Shifu's cannibalistic eyes, and lowered her head at the same time.

"Seven cents owed?" Cui Shifu's body was already trembling, he couldn't even speak well, he swayed twice, almost fell, his face turned livid.Seeing him like this, the man couldn't help but sneered, took out a yellowish note from his arms, handed it to Cui Shifu, and said, "Don't say we deliberately relied on you, I This is clearly written in black and white, your own son's handwriting, I think you know it, you're right, if it's okay, it's serious to give the money quickly, we don't have time to waste time with you, if you want to play tricks, We'll see you in court!"

"Don't go to the court!" Yang screamed, and she escaped from the man who was holding her with the strength she didn't know where. Several big men didn't prevent her from breaking free for a while, so she scratched her With a paw, there was a burning pain on his face. If it wasn't for the man in charge who hadn't spoken yet, he would have slapped Yang's long ago!Mrs. Yang had seen that list a long time ago, and it was indeed Cui Jingzhong's handwriting. Although she couldn't read or read, she was familiar with her son's name, and she was even more familiar with Cui Jingzhong's handwriting when he wrote his own name. .She felt guilty for a long time, and she didn't dare to look at Cui Shifu's dark face after saying a word, while lowering her head and said quickly: "You guys beat and smashed into my house, and now I don't know how many things have been broken. How much money should be paid?" As soon as this group of people came in and asked Yang to repay the debt, Yang suddenly panicked, the money in her hand was used for Cui Jingzhong's marriage and house repairs, how could there be any money left? Too much, and now I have to pay seven cents of silver back at once.Where can she come out?

Unexpectedly, these people are all vicious, they will wander around as soon as they enter the house, and they will snatch the ones that are pleasing to the eye. If the pigs in the pen have not been caught for a long time and only weigh a few dozen catties, I am afraid they will also be dragged away by them. .It's just that the money is not enough to pay back the seven cents of silver, so they set their minds on Mrs. Kong. If Mrs. Kong is allowed to be dragged away today, Cui Jingzhong's face will be completely lost. How can Mrs. Yang do it? , and fight with these people.Fortunately, Cui Shifu and his son came back in time, otherwise if the daughter-in-law was pulled out.With a bad reputation, how can their Cui family hold their head up in Xiaowan Village?

Although Cui Shifu had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard Yang's words, but when he really spread out the thin paper, he couldn't understand the characters written on it, but Cui Jingzhong He is familiar with the handwriting of his son, similar to Yang's, Cui Shifu is very clear about his son's handwriting.Seeing that what this person said was true, his eyes immediately turned black.She almost passed out with her eyes open, a layer of chills appeared on her back, she gritted her teeth and said: "This evil, this evil." Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Mrs. Yang was startled, and hurried forward to help him. Stopping him, he said anxiously: "Master, what's the matter, don't you scare me?" Yang's tears rolled out as she spoke.

Cui Shifu didn't even look at her, and pushed her hard, his eyes were bloodshot, the man who came to ask for debts frowned immediately when he saw this situation, Cui Shifu was tall and gnashing his teeth He took a step back and softened his tone and said, "Brother, I see that you are getting old, and I don't want to embarrass you, but it's only right and proper to pay off debts." You can't go wrong wherever you go, we are not the ones who lend loan sharks, the seven cents of silver must be paid back, and the profit is not too much for you, our brother was caught by this old woman just now, just look at it For a hard fee, we will let your daughter-in-law go, otherwise, even if the old man wants to do something, our brothers will not be afraid of you!"

At this moment, Cui Shifu wanted to strangle Cui Jingzhong to death in his heart, and he was so angry that his chest was stuffed in his chest, and he felt a sharp pain.There was a big commotion here, and the Kong family kept crying again, shaking like leaves in the autumn wind, and kept saying: "Daddy save me, daddy save me!" She looked pitiful, after all How could Cui Shifu watch the crimes committed by his son, and watch Kong go to suffer for him, put his hand on his chest, and said: "I will pay back the money, you let my daughter-in-law go!" Seeing that he had the money to pay back, he was immediately relieved, but when he thought about his own situation, even if Cui Shifu really had the ability to pay back the money, how would he live in the future?When Yang thought of this, she couldn't help crying again.

Fortunately, Cui Wei gave four hundred dollars a few days ago. Cui Shifu didn't want his daughter's money at first. He thought that he would sell something today to return the copper coins to her, and the family would feel more relaxed. Unexpectedly, such a trouble would happen again. When the incident came out, he suppressed the pain in his heart, and while trembling, he took the dry pipe from his waist, but he held the fire bag in his hand and blew it several times, but it still didn't ignite. Seeing his appearance, Cui Jinghuai hurried forward to help him After blowing it up, Cui Shifu took a deep breath, and while instructing Cui Jinghuai to pick up the things, he went into the room by himself.

Once he agreed to pay back the money, the man naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hands at his brothers. Kong's body suddenly collapsed on the ground, and he couldn't even get up. Not in the mood to pay attention to her, she followed into the room with a heavy heart, everyone crowded at the door to watch the excitement, only Mrs. Wang hugged the child and gloated over to see her, and then squeezed Mrs. Kong into tears again. Satisfied and uncomfortable, they followed into the house together.When those villains came in before, Mrs. Wang hid in the woodshed at the back. When she heard Cui Shifu and others coming out, she squeezed out to watch the excitement. How can I be happy in my heart, the more Cui Jingzhong has tossed about now, the less will be left to her son in the future, they are all surnamed Cui, why should Cui Jingzhong be bigger?

Cui Shifu entered the room and saw the table and chairs in the room tumbling, his face immediately became more ugly. When the leader saw this situation, he waved his hand quickly and said: "Brothers, let's be kind and make money. Second Aunt Cui was frightened just now, why don’t you hurry up and tidy up these things?” Several people responded, and quickly turned the overturned tables and chairs around again, and some of the smashed chairs were not There was a solution, Yang was so distressed that she burst into tears, but Cui Shifu on the other end didn't even look at the room, he just reached out and took out a large bag of copper coins.

Cui Wei gave him 500 yuan before, and today he sold vegetables, grain, chickens and ducks for more than 710 yuan, and the total added up is about 100 yuan.Cui Jingzhong borrowed seven cents of silver. According to the market price, he should have given at least seven hundred renminbi, but the price of silver is more expensive than copper coins. If he really needs to exchange it, he must pay at least 530 Wen to get seven cents of silver. There is a shortfall of more than [-] texts, how can it be made up in such a short time?Cui Shifu counted and counted the copper coins, and then pushed the money towards the man: "You count, the total is [-] Wen, which is still a little short, wait a moment, I will borrow it and post it now!"

The man looked at the copper coins, and he was not polite. He tore the straw, spit, twisted it into a rope, and put it in the middle of the copper coins. There was a string of "jingle ding ding ding", and he saw Cui Shifu about to go out. , he smiled, moved away, and didn't stop him. Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Yang suddenly felt sad again. Now that the money is gone, how can I live after harvesting the rice in a few days?What happened to that kid Erlang, he was always sensible, how could he do such a thing?Yang's heart was anxious and flustered, and Wang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Father, why don't you go to Si..."

"Just say one more word, and I'll screw you up and send you to the government in the afternoon!" Cui Shifu turned around and yelled at Wang's words in a stern voice, which shocked Wang. Before, Tang was accused of not paying back the money owed by the government, and ate it. Shibanzi, I can't get out of bed yet, I'm a little limping when I walk, and I'm disgusted by the Yang family, and I owe Cui Wei money after being beaten. Sue her, and she will be beaten again if she doesn't come, it's like a death talisman hanging around her neck, she has seen Tang's miserable situation, and she would be woken up in a dream, now hearing what Cui Shifu said, suddenly Ji Ling, the child in her arms almost fell to the ground, she didn't dare to open her mouth, she backed away in fear.

Cui Shifu finally went to his elder brother Cui Shicai, and borrowed three hundred coppers from Mrs. Lin, before he finally concluded the matter and sent those vicious and strong men away!Although these people seem to be vicious, they are actually quite moral. Otherwise, if they meet Mr. Qian, seven qian silver can be turned into seven taels these days, and then the Cui family will really have nowhere to turn for help, and they deserve it. .

Although it was said that the money was returned, the Cui family's vitality was also greatly hurt. Now the chickens and ducks in the pen are almost caught, which are the things that lay eggs. They kept a pig, but most of the corn was sold. Sadness came from it, and I couldn't help crying.The Cui family was shrouded in gloom, Cui Jingzhong also had no news, Cui Shifu was still angry with this son, who cared about his life, only Yang Shi was still worried, and went to the town every day to find someone to inquire about Cui Jingzhong He heard people say that he seems to have taken a total of nearly one tael of silver, worshiped under some Juren family, is now studying in the county, and his son is safe, so Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
