And hope that some words can be drawn out through conversation.
Others also have their own ideas in their hearts.
But no doubt, they all felt a little strange about this matter.
Old Wu didn't think there was anything wrong, and he didn't mean to hide it at all, so he answered directly.
But what he said surprised everyone.
"Because Master Huang is my benefactor, he borrowed money from me, and I haven't paid it back yet. I have to pay back the debt owed to Master Huang."
As soon as these words came out, no matter whether it was Lin Zheng, Zhang Xirou, or Li Changsheng, Cao Desheng.
Everyone's eyes widened, their faces were full of doubts, and they were stunned!
owe money?
Pay off the debt because you owe money?
If this is what an ordinary person said, it would be considered normal, but the person who said this now is a weird one!
It's weird to have died once!
How much is this owed?
Do not!
How is this owed, even after dying and becoming weird, still obsessed with it?
Even became an obsession?
What an excellent quality this is?
I'm afraid there will be no better debtor than this in the whole world, right?
Even when you die, you can still remember that you haven't paid back the money.
Lin Zheng was the first to react, and asked directly, "How much do you owe? Why?"
Old Wu said: "I don't remember clearly, but I must have borrowed a lot of ocean."
"A big ocean, that is, about 1000 yuan." Li Changsheng frowned tightly: "Although it is indeed a lot, but when you died, it was more than 70 yuan, and you still haven't paid it off?"
Old Wu nodded naturally, as if he didn't think there was any problem.
Zhou Xinyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember how long you have been paying back?"
Old Wu thought for a while: "I paid it back for decades, most of my life, and I still remembered it when I died. It's a pity that I can't use money to pay back the debt now, so I can only..."
Old Wu didn't say what he said afterwards.
But even with only these contents, it was enough to shock Lin Zheng and the others.
A big ocean was indeed a lot of money for the people at that time.
But even the people at the bottom can earn some money throughout the year.
How could it be possible to pay it back for decades?
How much did you borrow?
Dozens, hundreds, thousands?
Among other things, just talking about a small landlord like Master Huang, can he have so much money himself?
Even if he has, can he borrow so much money?
Therefore, there is only one possibility with a high probability, interest!
Only the interest that is high enough and constantly superimposed can make people pay it off for a lifetime.
After a while, Lin Zhengcai asked again: "Have you never thought about why you didn't pay it off?"
Old Wu frowned very seriously: "I also thought about it, why haven't I paid it off all my life?
The IOU is in my hands, and it is indeed true, so it is naturally impossible for Mr. Huang to lie to me, but I am also sure, until I die, I never figured out why Mr. Huang's debt is still unpaid..."
He is thinking very seriously.
But after a while, I didn't think about any results.
He could only shake his head in a trance, sighed helplessly, and said, "I don't understand, come to think of it, maybe it's because I don't have the spirit of a contract that I hurt Master Huang."
……
After sending Lin Zheng to the tavern.
Old Wu immediately returned to Huang's house.
At this time, Master Huang was still waiting there.
As soon as Old Wu appeared, he immediately asked, "Master Huang, do we really need help from these outsiders? Will they really help us?"
Master Huang smiled: "Of course it's good if they can help, but it's okay even if they don't.
As long as they come over tomorrow when the White Witch appears. "
"What's the use of this?" Old Wu still didn't understand.
Master Huang had a sinister smile on his face: "As long as they come over, we will have a chance to attack the weakest one directly.
From tonight's point of view, that person should be their leader, responsible for management, but he is not strong in himself, he seems to be just a civil servant, a weak scholar.
And these people, although their strength is not weak, but as long as we use our hole cards, we will catch them by surprise, kill the civil servant directly, and then solve the White Witch in one fell swoop..."
Chapter 193 The White Witch
Everyone in Huangshi Town knows one thing very well. In this world, there is no second, better landlord than Mr. Huang Huangshiqian!
Because Mr. Huang has no airs at all, he is very polite to everyone.
And he is very kind, often doing some charity activities in the town, and preparing some porridge for those who escaped from the war and could not afford to eat.
Once the townspeople or outsiders urgently need money to settle down, he will lend it out very simply.
Of course, you need to write an IOU, and pay a certain amount of interest.
Even when collecting debts, Mr. Huang always smiled and even brought them some small gifts, just like friends.
It will not be available for a while, and there is also a grace period.
Although the interest will also be more, it doesn't matter.
During the years when Mr. Huang was in charge, there was almost no suppression or bullying in the town.
Everyone in the town, including Master Huang himself, often said how kind and conscientious he was.
It may also be that it has been said for a long time, so most people in the village believe it.
All in all, as the "master" of Huangshi Town, Master Huang is very successful.
He inherited this position only for more than ten years.
He became the richest mayor in the history of Huangshi Town.
Not only that, everyone in the town, plus some hunters living outside the town, owed him money.
Moreover, it is basically the kind that has not been up for decades.
But even under such circumstances, Mr. Huang is still deeply loved and respected by the townspeople.
Especially at that time of turmoil.
Huangshi Town is remote and safe, without natural disasters or man-made disasters. The food planted in the ground can be harvested almost every year.
And... there is such a good mayor who is "respectful and virtuous", "gentle and charitable", even poor peasants will respect him.
Undoubtedly very rare.
Therefore, the townspeople who owed him money rarely ran outside to avoid debts.
Never non-payment.
Because, if someone intends not to pay back the money, or default on the debt.
Even, there is no need for those tall guards at Master Huang's house to come out.
The people in the whole town will gather together, each spit, and drown that person.
Under Master Huang's "rule", the entire Huangshi Town is thriving, and it seems to be developing very well.
Everyone is farming, working, and making money very hard.
Because they are supporting themselves and their families.
At the same time, continue to repay the arrears that are almost impossible to repay in a lifetime.
If you can't make it in a while, and you need money urgently, you can also temporarily default on it, or even continue to borrow some money from Mr. Huang to tide over the difficulties.
Even if they die, there is no need to worry that no one will pay back these debts.
Because their children and grandchildren can inherit these arrears and continue to work hard to make money to pay back to Mr. Huang.
Then, continue to live a happy and stable life in Huangshi Town.
There is a place to live, you won't starve to death, you don't have to worry about wars, and no one bullies you, or in other words, only a small number of people will be bullied.
Just need to take on some debts, and don't bully yourself.
This kind of day, for the people of that era, is simply heaven.
……
Old man Yang came to Huangshi Town later.
Also with a daughter.
He came by coincidence. At that time, there was only the last field left around Huangshi Town.
Master Huang naturally rented it to him.
Although everyone knew that old man Yang had a daughter, this daughter had always stayed in that dilapidated mud house and rarely went out.
When going out, she would wrap her face with a cloth and wear thick clothes, even in the summer, so few people saw her face.
Because of this, many people in the town were very curious about Old Man Yang's daughter, and because of this, many rumors spread.
Say anything.
Some people say that she may be extremely ugly, while others say that she looks different from ordinary people, which is why she dare not see people.
But this kind of thing is actually very normal, and it will not have any impact.
Until one day, Mr. Huang, who was out to discuss business, happened to see the daughter of the Yang family who was washing clothes by the stream.
I saw the beautiful face of the other party covered by the cloth.
If it is placed in an ordinary idol drama, this will undoubtedly be a beautiful encounter.
But the reality is not so.
Since then, Mr. Huang has been thinking about the daughter of the Yang family.
But he is the "kind" Master Huang after all, so naturally he can't do such a thing as robbing civilian girls.
And just as Mr. Huang was thinking about what to do.
The opportunity presented itself!
this day.
Because his daughter was ill, and it was quite serious, old man Yang was forced to help. All the people in the town, Mr. Huang, who said he was benevolent, wanted to borrow money to buy medicine.
If it was normal, Mr. Huang might have borrowed it immediately.
After all, he has always used this method to make money for himself.
But this time, his purpose was not that little interest.
So, no matter how old man Yang begged, Master Huang was still unwilling to let go.
"Old Yang, it's really...you've stayed in Huangshi Town for too short a time. Although I have some money in Huangshi, I dare not lend it to strangers casually. The residents of my town can't Most of them have been lived in for generations, so I feel relieved to lend them."
"Master Huang, please lend me some money, and I will definitely pay it back to you. My daughter is about to die of illness. As long as you can lend me, Mr. Huang, I will be like a cow and a horse, and I will do anything!" Old man Yang Kneeling on the ground, begging all over his face, tears pouring down his face.
Master Huang still looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before finally letting go: "Well, since you are in such a difficult situation, then I... can only take some risks, but this excuse must be a little stricter, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll renege on the debt, only this IOU can count, and it can make me feel more at ease."
