Chapter 160

Lin Fu was taken aback, and ran out of the yard in a few steps, just in time to see Mrs. Huang leading someone towards Dongbao's house, and immediately ran back to the yard, took a shovel next to the yard wall, and ran out. Said to Quanzi: "Go, run fast, call a few more people to Dongbao's house!"

Knowing that this was an urgent matter, Quanzi couldn't care less about being afraid or crying, so he immediately parted ways with Old Man Lin. People help.

Fortunately, there was a moderate rain just yesterday afternoon, and the dirt roads in the countryside were very muddy. The hooligans were used to walking on the bluestone roads in the town, but they were not used to walking on dirt roads. They thought they were covered in animal manure. The mud was smelly, and I was afraid of getting my shoes dirty, so I walked slowly.

Today, in order to prepare the dishes for Anzhou, Dongbao repeatedly tested the taste of the seasoning at home, and did not go to the town.

When she heard the commotion outside, she was still a little strange. As soon as she walked to the yard and opened the small hole in the door, she heard Lin Fu say to her in a deep voice: "Dong Bao, are you at home? Don't come out! "

Dong Bao looked over in surprise, and saw that besides the folks carrying shovels, hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools, there were five or six people who looked like local ruffians, and the two sides faced each other.

Mrs. Huang was so fierce that she pointed at the leader Lin Fu and shouted, "Get out of here! This is our old Song's business, don't mind your own business!"

"Auntie, that's not what you said!" Lin Fu held back his anger and said, "Why do you bring so many people to the scholar's house in broad daylight?"

Mrs. Huang was guilty at first, but now she was even more annoyed when he said it, and she jumped up and scolded: "It's none of your business! I brought people to my daughter-in-law's house, and you are still in charge?!"

Darong next to Lin Fu roared, and said loudly: "You bring people to rob the scholar's wife's house, is there any law left?"

The hooligans were also a little timid. They were fine with scaring people, but they would be scared when they met this group of strong and powerful peasants, not to mention that they were all holding things in their hands, and they were unarmed.

"Old lady, you said that you led us to your eldest daughter-in-law's house to get the money!" The leader shouted, "If you don't give the money, your son's fingers will be lost!"

Huang was startled and frightened. Seeing Lin Shi and a dozen other men blocking the door of Dongbao's house and refusing to give way, she began to cry, making a gesture to kneel down to Lin Fu and the others, "I'm an old woman, please! You guys! If they don't pay, my third son will have his fingers chopped off! This is none of your business, please do me a favor and get out of the way!"

Hehua's husband, Dawei, frowned and asked, "Grandma Song, why did Third Uncle Song offend him? He wants to chop off his fingers?" The farmer's family has its own duty. If something like this happens, Song Bai must have done something to offend him. in hand.

"My third son lent them... a little money, and they urged him to pay it back." Mrs. Huang murmured, "We don't have the money to pay it back. No, we're here."

Lin Fu snorted and said: "If you want to borrow money from Mrs. Xiucai for emergency, then go to the town to look for it. Who doesn't know that Mrs. Xiucai is not at home at the moment! You brought such a group of people here, it is not borrowing money, it is clearly To grab!"

Huang's face was flushed, and she argued: "You don't know what she is like, she has always been very vitriolic! A big guy is reluctant to let me see, how can I borrow money for emergency, I can't help it!"

Uncle Mantang yelled, "Auntie, you're out of conscience when you say this! The scholar lady never forgets to give you some delicious food, why did it become so mean in your mouth? Besides, your third son didn't Is it reasonable for you to bring someone to rob your eldest daughter-in-law's house when you pay off the debt?"

"Why doesn't that make sense? Why do you care so much as an outsider!" Huang began to mess around, "Can I ask for two of my eldest daughter-in-law's money? Shouldn't she be filial to me? She can't bear a son to hurt her." After my eldest son died, she was guilty, so she should spend money to make atonement! I took her two money to make atonement for her, so as not to cause her to die in the future!"

Huang's theory works in the Song family, that's because old man Song doesn't argue with her, and let her be unreasonable, but no one pays attention to her outside, and the few men guarding the door of Dongbao's house can't help but He yelled at Huang Shi.

"Tricky lady!" Dawei's three younger brothers were all hot-tempered, pointing at Huang and scolding, "Miss Xiucai is such a good person, you can bully her so hard that no one in our village can see her!" At the beginning, when I saw that someone was sick, I wanted to throw him out, but now I see him earning two hard-earned money, and I want to rob him again! Bah, if the gods have eyes, you will go to hell, and you will go to the frying pan!"

The gangsters were reluctant to continue the stalemate. The leader wanted to leave, but he was not reconciled, and finally said to Mrs. Huang: "But old lady, you pat your chest and say that we can get the money! This, what is it now?" Huh? If you don’t get the money today, your son’s fingers will be lost! You can handle it yourself, my brothers are running out of patience!”

Huang quickly begged: "Gentlemen, please calm down and let everyone get the money! Let me tell you, my eldest daughter-in-law has earned a lot of money, and it is hidden in her house. If you go in and look for it, you will definitely be able to get it." Get the money!"

"I'll see who dares!" Lin Fu yelled violently, waving the shovel in his hand, scaring away a few hooligans who were poking around and wanting to move forward.

"That's right!" Several people echoed, "With us here, don't think about doing such illegal things in our tower ditch!"

At this moment, there are still a dozen or so trustworthy men rushing here with sticks and hoes.

Huang's face turned red with anger, hating the person standing in front of her, she cursed loudly, and wanted to go up and scratch her, but was pushed away by Lin Fu. If it was really a fight, several Huang's combined would He couldn't get close to Lin Fu's body, but Lin Fu saw her as an old man and didn't want to fight her.

Seeing that she couldn't break through the wall of people and couldn't grab the money, Huang suddenly became desperate. She sat down on the ground and patted her legs and cried loudly, "You bastards who have been paid a thousand dollars! You killed my son! I'm not a ghost!" Let you go, I curse you to kill off your children and grandchildren!"

"Isn't your son studying in an academy? Why are you studying so well to borrow money from others? Did you do something bad? Why would you ask someone like that to borrow money if you didn't do anything immoral?" Dawei didn't care about his seniority, Angrily scolded, he has not been married for two years, and he has no children yet, Huang's scolding is really ugly.

In fact, from the perspective of farmers, as long as the family has a few acres of land, works hard at ordinary times, and raises a pig to feed a chicken, even if the family cannot live a good life of white flour and polished rice, they can still eat enough and wear warm. Even if there is an urgent need to borrow money, who can not help if you ask acquainted neighbors and folks to borrow three or five money?

People who borrow loan sharks are definitely doing it for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they don't follow the right path.

Lin Fu sighed, softened his tone, and said to Mrs. Huang: "Aunt Song, we can all see what a scholar lady is like. You can ask yourself whether she takes care of you more, or is it the son and daughter-in-law next to you?" Serve you more. If you have any difficulties, wait for Mrs. Xiucai to come back and talk to her. She will never leave you alone. You have to bring a group of people to snatch orphans and widows. What is it like? You have to force Mrs. Xiucai to be so good You are only happy if someone hates you?"

"That's right!" Someone at the side echoed, "Three or five taels of silver, even if the talented lady can't afford that much, can we still ignore the folks in the village? It's enough for a few families to pool together."

Huang stomped her feet angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "Three or five taels of silver is not enough!"

"How much is that?" Lin Fu asked in surprise, three or five taels of silver is equivalent to a few acres of land for a year, and it seems that Huang's posture is far from enough.

"300 taels!" The local ruffian who came to ask for debts shouted loudly, and sneered at Lin Fu who was standing in front of Dongbao's gate: "If we can't get the money today, we will chop off Song Bai's fingers later. Send the head to his mother! You are kind, but if you really get to the step of chopping off your fingers, you will kill Song Bai! You will ruin his whole life!"

Anxious and angry, Huang sat on the ground and began to cry, not knowing what was going on with Song Bai, she was terribly worried, wishing she could replace Song Bai and have her fingers chopped off.

Several people were shocked by the hooligan's words, 300 taels of silver was an unimaginable sum of money in the eyes of the peasant family, and Song Bai, a scholar who was studying, owed such a huge debt!

After recovering from his senses, Lin Fu also knew that this matter had a lot to do with it. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Dong Bao's crisp voice from inside the door, "What a big hat! Song Bai borrowed money and didn't pay it back, why did it end up in your mouth? Is it the fault of these kind-hearted uncles?"

When Huang heard what Dong Bao said, she immediately sat up and shouted at Dong Bao: "Dong Bao, open the door quickly! If you don't open the door, I'll beat you to death!"

Dong Bao smiled coldly, with Lin Fu and other ten or twenty men blocking the door of her house, Dong Bao was not afraid of those foolish ruffians.She didn't pay attention to Mrs. Huang, she would only open the door if she was mentally ill, she just asked loudly: "Did you lend my third uncle the money?"

The leading ruffian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that little girl to talk to him, and quickly said: "Yes, 300 taels with interest, if you don't pay it back after the due date, ten taels of interest a day!"

"Do you know who my third uncle is? Do you know that the Song family doesn't even have ten taels in total, so you dare to lend him 300 taels? Are you afraid that he won't pay when it's due?" Dong Bao asked. She was really skeptical. In her previous life, the bank or the loan company had to carefully investigate the background and creditworthiness of the borrower before lending money, and also required a mortgage.

The leading ruffian was speechless for a while, saying he knew it, no, you loaned such a large sum of money from loan sharks to a pauper who must not be able to pay, who would believe it?It’s even worse to say that you don’t know, and you dare to borrow money without even checking the background of the borrower?

"This...he said that he can double his profit in two days by investing in stocks!" The leader shouted bravely.
