The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 96

The two went out to get into the carriage, but they saw Zhao Wanwan at the door.

She was dressed in a pink gauze, and the wooden hairpin on her head was a bit familiar, causing Li Qinghe to take another look.

Zhao Wanwan stretched out her hand and touched her head, and smiled, “Sister still remember this hairpin? You bought it to me at the time. I was very happy at that time. I have been reluctant to take it for years. I always feel that it is not an ordinary hairpin, but my sister treats me. A rare heart.”

Zhou Chengkang was already in the carriage, stretched out and pulled her, “Come on.”

Li Qinghe nodded to her, put his hand in his hand, and was pulled into the carriage with a slight effort.

Seeing that posture, the carriage was about to leave, Zhao Wanwan was anxious, and stepped forward, “Sister, I want to go back to the village, can you take me for a ride?”

This is okay, but Zhou Chengkang is happy to take all villagers as long as they drop in.

Seeing that they hadn’t utterly refused, Zhao Wanwan climbed into the carriage by herself, and when she entered the carriage, the horse trot up.

Zhao Wanwan, who was not in prison, almost hit the wall of the carriage. After she stabilized her body, she realized that Li Qinghe was still outside. She hurriedly shouted, “Sister, are you not coming in?”

“It’s sultry inside, I like the outside.” Li Qinghe said casually.

Seeing her posture, she knew that it wasn’t as simple as trying to take a ride. Li Qinghe went in and pestered her when she was stupid.

The town is not far from the village. During the period, Zhao Wanwan tried to call her in several times, but she didn’t respond.

And Zhao Wanwan couldn’t sit outside. Two or three people were allowed to sit outside, but if three people were to sit on, they would have to squeeze, and people who were not used to it would not dare to watch the road under their feet fast back.

Soon I arrived at the entrance of the village, except for what he said when he was not on the carriage at the beginning, Zhao Wanwan never found a chance to talk to her.

A lot of people stood under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and when they saw their carriage arrived, they surrounded them. The intersection that was not wide was surrounded, and the carriage could only stop.

“Qinghe, we have something to look for you.” A familiar woman stepped forward, “Can we come down and discuss it?”

It is quite strange that so many people are looking for them at the same time. Li Qinghe asked in surprise, “Mother, what’s the matter with you?”

“We are all here to borrow money from you.” The woman was a little embarrassed, “I only need three dollars to make it, and I’m going to pass the winter, and I have to make new clothes and quilts. “

Hearing that, Li Qinghe was really surprised. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done when he has more money, right? Borrowing money to make clothes and quilts, most people can’t do this kind of thing.

It’s surprising how many people agree with this statement, “Yes, I want to make clothes this year. My dog ​​is eighteen. I will go to the village to see it next month, but I can’t tidy up. Go again…”

“I hired over there, and I was going to get married a year ago. With luck, I can’t expect to be pregnant soon.”

Listening to the comments of the people around, Li Qinghe and two of them can be regarded as understand. These people who came have borrowed money to the Yang family, and the interest is collected there, and Father Yang said that the money is paid to Li Qinghe. Yes, it implied that they could wait for the two of them to go home and then borrow it back. It would not delay things, it would be equivalent to spending money on it again and earning him 20% of the interest.

Zhao Wanwan also poked her head out of the carriage, and whispered in her ear, “Sister, in fact, I am looking for you, and I want to borrow money from you. My father paid the twenty taels of silver that I got from the house secretly. You guys, he really knows that he was wrong. Can you lend me first, and then I will ask him to find a way to repay you as soon as possible, my dad said, you can give 50 taels of silver, if you don’t believe him, you can also find The village chief came to write an IOU.”

Amidst the discussion, Zhou Chengkang’s voice was calm, “I’m sorry everyone, we don’t have money.”

A dozen people immediately calmed down, and after looking at each other, some people didn’t believe it, “How could it be possible? Didn’t your family just collect the forty taels of their compensation? Then the Zhao family’s yard was used for the collection. We all heard about it.”

In fact, Zhou Chengkang wanted to buy the land immediately, so as not to let people come to borrow it. If people really rush to use it, such as using money to hire, it is really embarrassing to say that this is not the case without marriage.

Borrow it. I don’t know that the year of the monkey can only be repaid, and I feel uncomfortable. Don’t borrow it, people will say in the future: Which family my daughter-in-law was from back then was because Zhou Laosi refused to borrow money as a betrothal gift. Not to mention that there are people who are sick who have to borrow money to grab medicine, and they will die if they don’t borrow money… encountering this kind of thing, it is simply embarrassing to myself.

“Yes, forty taels. For so many of us, it only takes a few taels, or less. Anyway, let us take care of the matter and return it to you in the next year…”

“Really gone.” Li Qinghe said to everyone and Zhao Wanwan who was chattering in her ears, “We bought the land.” She stretched out her hand and pointed at the mountain over there, “It’s the top of the mountain. I bought forty acres and got all the deeds, and the government officials will come and measure it tomorrow.”

Everyone was stunned.

I never imagined that someone would take money to buy a barren hill. What else would there be besides weeds and all kinds of trees that can be used as firewood?

This is not important. The important thing is that the money is gone. Where can they find the money they need urgently?

In silence, Zhou Chengkang asked aloud, “Can you give me a break? It’s not early, we are anxious to go home.”

There was no money left, and he couldn’t get it out anymore, and the person in front of him couldn’t help but let go. When the carriage reached the spacious area at the entrance of the village, Li Qinghe turned around and asked, “Are you going to get off the carriage?”

Zhao Wanwan was also stunned. At this time, she heard her asking and reacted, “No, sister, you used forty taels of silver to buy a barren mountain? You can get two or three for the small yard in the town! It’s over the county seat. , I can also buy a small courtyard…”

“It’s already been spent anyway, I don’t want that much.” Li Qinghe asked again, “Do you want to go down? My family is now with Xiyu and his grandmother. I’m afraid it is… not convenient for you to go.”

In fact, there is no inconvenience, but she is still entangled with Zhao Wanwan when she doesn’t want to be home, and she can’t say she has to invite her to dinner.

Speaking of it, Zhao Wanwan lived in Li’s house for several years before getting married. After getting married, Hu Yanxi also lived at home for a year. After eating so many meals from her father, she and her father failed to eat Zhao Wanwan’s meal. It.

Thinking about it this way, I became more determined not to be able to take her back. It was getting dark now, and I might have to stay one night to take her back.

Too much trouble!

Li Qinghe jumped into the carriage, “You come down!”

Her tone couldn’t be rejected, she was still able to bluff people with a straight face, Zhao Wanwan jumped out of the carriage unknowingly and watched the carriage heading west of the village, remembering that the house belonging to the Zhao family would be imprisoned if she couldn’t borrow money. People over there will take them away and sell them, and then her father will have no place to live.

But here Li Qinghe has already bought the land, and even if there is money in the family, he will never lend her twenty taels, and suddenly feel that something has happened. Turned around and hurried to the Qian’s yard.

Li Qinghe and the two arrived home and found Father Yang was waiting at the door. He rubbed his hands and said, “Could you lend me some money first? In order to pay back your money, I borrowed some people who were eager to spend money. I can’t delay other people’s business, I am willing to pay more…”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Qinghe already said, “We have already bought the land, and all the forty taels have been spent.”

There was one more dazed person, Father Yang.

When they came back, it was going to be dark. At night, most people in Wangcun knew that they had bought land with the money they had lost. Apart from the extra land, they had no more money.

Everyone who was secretly trying to ask them to borrow money all dismissed the idea.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chengkang went to the town to pick up the office worker. He began to measure up the mountain from behind Yu Yan’s house. After hearing Yu Yan’s words, she divided the two acres out of her. She took the silver to buy it for the office worker. .

Forty acres of land is very large, even if it is mountain forest, from the back of Li Qinghe’s house to the back of Yang’s house, a large area is hers.

Mother Zhou hugged Xi Yu, frowning and looking serious and a little worried, “What do you buy so much wasteland for? Don’t talk about farming, both of you are struggling to go around.”

If you don’t do anything, it is really strenuous.

Li Qinghe didn’t explain to her either. After sending away the ya chai, Yu Yan followed to get the deed.

In the afternoon, the Yang family next door became noisy again. Like the previous two times, everyone went to the Yang family with hoes and knives to ask the Yang family to pay back the money.

Earlier, the Yang family hadn’t paid the people’s wages, and the people who got the news surrounded them again. What if the Yang family paid the bills back here without the wages?

In fact, Father Yang didn’t borrow many people, but there were so many people who helped him build houses earlier, and all of them went to the yard, almost impossible to crowd.

The crowd huddled together, threatening to live there if they didn’t pay the money. Even if the mayor was hired, it was not easy to come.

The Yang family still owed more than ten taels of silver to the village by doing this, and it continued until the latter half of the night to force Father Yang to agree to pay back the silver the next afternoon, and everyone retired.

As for Zhao Tianfu here, it was the day when the people who had promised to ransom the house had arrived. Someone in the town was already asking about it. Maybe someone would buy Zhao Tianfu’s yard in a few days.

Surprisingly, Zhao Tianfu had nowhere to go after being picked up, so he went to live in the Qian’s yard, with his wife and children.

It’s really a feng shui rotation. There is no end in a lifetime. No one knows what life will be like in the future. The Zhao family who married the Qian clan was regarded as the richest person in Wangcun. Even if the Qian clan was not wanted, it was because she was always secretive. Help the money family.

Now it is Zhao Tianfu who has fallen to the point of being homeless, and actually wants the money family to help.

The Yang family next door still failed to pay back the money the next day. Everyone went to make trouble again and invited the mayor again. Father Yang refused to recognize what he said the night before, and only said that he came on the basis of IOU. The evidence he wrote was to be returned at the autumn harvest next year. As for the suggestion that everyone used Li Qinghe’s money to make money, he denied it and insisted that there was no such thing.

Everyone is helpless. According to the evidence, they are indeed not contracted to ask for debts.

After a few days of trouble, people like Li Xingwang who thought they couldn’t get their wages went home to work on their own, and there were not many people left. The Yang family was even more unafraid. Once they didn’t take the money to pay off the debt, the villagers gave up in such a compromise.
