In fact, He Daqing doesn't care about the money.

All these people in his courtyard are not worth much even if they are put together.

His only purpose was to make these people owe him something so that he could take advantage of them in the future.

Money is a thing. Today you can buy a pound of rice for 5 yuan, but in two days it may cost 50 yuan.

When He Daqing left last year, the Japanese had just issued 500 yuan banknotes.

Now 1000 yuan banknotes have been issued.

But it's hard to buy things with that much money now.

The market has basically returned to the situation where only dollars and physical objects are recognized.

In some cases, the national government's legal tender and the Eighth Route Army's military notes were even interchangeable.

When the Japanese ruled the country, the price of food changed every day.

Now that the Japanese are blocked in the city, the price of food has not risen so drastically.

The Eighth Route Army also intended to control the import of food into Peking.

We cannot allow the Japanese to get more food, but we cannot let civilians starve to death either.

So although He Daqing's proposal to use grain to pay off the debt was beyond the expectations of several people, it was also understandable.

"Daqing, we don't have any food right now. How much food do you think we should give you?"

Jia Yuan has the fewest children in the family, and the only one who is sickly is Jia Dongxu.

So, their life is pretty good.

The main reason he took He Daqing's things was because he saw others taking them.

He feels that if everyone else takes it and he doesn't, then he will be at a disadvantage.

Now that He Daqing has come back to collect the debt, he seems to be gloating a bit.

I want to see what the other guys do.

Especially Liu Haizhong.

He looked down on Liu Haizhong very much.

Both of them work in the steel factory, but Liu Haizhong always pretends to be serious and acts in a formal manner.

When he speaks, he always acts like he is the boss.

Jia Yuan had long been fed up with Liu Haizhong.

As for Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui, Jia Yuan thought these two were okay. One was a teacher and the other worked in a movie theater.

They are all relatively decent jobs, at least better than being a worker like him.

What makes people even happier is that although these two people have decent jobs, their lives are worse than their own.

This is also one of the main reasons why he has a good relationship with the two.

He Daqing thought about it and felt that he couldn't ask for too much, nor too little.

If you say too many words, these people will definitely say bad things about you behind your back.

If the amount is too small, they can easily pay it back, and then they won’t be afraid of me anymore.

"How about this, I don't want the food right away, you can pay it back in 10 years, 50 kilograms per year, a total of 500 kilograms, how do you think?"

500 kilograms of food is definitely not a small amount.

Just like Jia Yuan’s family.

There was not even a pound of food in the day's ration.

They sold everything in He Daqing's house, but didn't get much food in return.

In total, they exchanged for less than 300 kilograms of food.

Jia Yuan didn't even get 100 kilograms in total, but he didn't expect He Daqing to want 500 kilograms.

This is just too much.

Before Jia Yuan could say anything, Liu Haizhong quit.

"He Daqing, how can you want so much? The things in your house don't sell for much.

What are those old clothes worth? Or some wood, some pots and pans, what else do you have at home?

500 kilograms of food? If we had that, would we have to sell the things in your house?"

In Liu Haizhong's opinion, it was really too much for He Daqing to ask for so much food.

"Old Liu, please explain it to me. No matter what, we are selling things from Daqing's house. It's not about the amount of money.

Although the Qing dynasty’s belongings are worthless, if the Qing dynasty sues us, we will have to pay more than just those things.”

Xu Fugui saw that He Daqing's face was not looking good, so he quickly pulled his bangs.

He now regretted taking things from He Daqing's house.

At that time, everyone thought that something had happened to He Daqing and he would never come back.

At that time, Li Wanqiu was captured by the Imperial Army, and before that He Daqing had sent both children away.

Before he was arrested, He Daqing was an officer in the puppet army.

They discussed the issue together for several nights, and finally came to the conclusion that He Daqing had definitely betrayed the Japanese.

After they came to this conclusion, they all agreed that He Daqing was dead.

So they packed up all the things in He Daqing's house and sold them.

Fortunately, He Daqing put all his valuables into the system backpack.

"Xu Fugui, Jia Yuan. Don't worry about Liu Haizhong for now. Let me ask you two, what are you going to do?"

Jia Yuan and Xu Fugui looked at each other. In fact, neither of them wanted to give so much food.

If it's money, they can still give it.

After all, everyone understands that He Daqing's whole room of stuff could be sold for 500 yuan, but now a chair can be sold for 500 yuan.

It is not difficult for them to pay back the money.

The food is different, that's really not the case.

"Daqing, isn't 500 kilograms of grain too much? Can it be less? You know our current situation.

The whole family doesn’t have a pound of food a day. Where can I get food for you?

If it really doesn’t work, look at what I have at home and move what you need from my house.”

Jia Yuan is a smart guy.

He didn't intend to give this food.

Things can be compensated.

Anyway, what I'm selling is He Daqing's things. He Daqing doesn't want money, so I just need to give him the things.

After hearing Jia Yuan's words, He Daqing was speechless.

He doesn't want the junk from Jia Yuan's house.

"I don't want your things. I asked you to give me food, but not now. I gave it to you over 10 years. Do you still think you're being taken advantage of?"

After hearing Jia Yuan's idea, everyone thought it was a good one.

If the four families put their belongings together, they would definitely be able to replenish what's in He Daqing's house.

At most, life at home will become more difficult.

As for owing food, they dare not do that.

They have seen too many cases where people were unable to repay their debts and were eventually forced to break up their families.

Although they were familiar with He Daqing, they subconsciously refused to owe him money.

"Daqing, we really don't have any food, let alone ten years later. My biggest wish in this life is to have a full meal before I die. How about this, you can see what valuables I have at home, take whatever you want."

"That's right, Qing, we were wrong to take your things, but we really can't give you any food these days. Forget 500 kilograms. My family doesn't even have two days' worth of food. If you don't like my things, do you think my wife is worth it?

If you want her, let her go tonight."

"If you don't like Jia Yuan's wife, why don't you take a look at my daughter? If you like her, I'll give her to you."

He Daqing didn't expect that these two people were so shameless and made selling their wives and daughters sound so easy.

"Xu Fugui, please don't talk nonsense. Your daughter is only a little old. If I have any feelings for her, what's the difference between me and a beast?"
