Small drill wind patrols the red building

Grandma Liu has never borrowed money from anyone in her life, so it is inevitable that she will be unable to open her mouth if she wants to speak now, but she knows better that face is not a fart in front of survival.

So, she managed to suppress the shyness in her heart and said, "Speaking of which, it was all caused by my unworthy son-in-law. You said that although my old in-laws are not as shrewd as his father's, they are still clear. How did you give birth to my silly son-in-law?"

It turned out that after Wang Gou'er's grandfather passed away, his father had no skills, so he went back to the village and continued to be a farmer. However, I dare not say it, their family is still more knowledgeable than ordinary poor farmers, and they have climbed to such a rich People are relatives.

So, after a discussion in the village, Wang Gou'er's father was simply made the village head of the village. It was not for the sake of taking advantage of the Wang family, but at least outsiders knew that they had such a relationship with the Wang family, so they dared not bully them easily.

Therefore, after Wang Gou'er's father died, Wang Gou'er took over his father's job and continued to be the village head. Just accept it.

Originally, this Wang Gou'er was a hard worker, and he didn't spend much time on it. Although the family had no money left, Grandma Liu was very satisfied with this son-in-law. She helped the couple take care of their children and cook every day, and their life was considered smooth. up.

But Wang Gou'er doesn't know why he just thinks that he is the head of the village and he has to be responsible to the people in the village. This is completely different from his old fox-like grandfather and shrewd father, not like Wang's family at all. kind.

This time it was because half a year ago, a family in the village was seriously ill because of an old man. The son of that family wanted to treat the old man, but he had no money, so he was forced to contact the usury lender.

People who lend loan sharks are eating bloody steamed buns, and earning land is money with no conscience. Is that something ordinary people can mess with?Besides, their family treated the elderly, and they sold the house long ago, leaving only a dilapidated house and two acres of land. How could they give you money so easily?

The man asked the village head, Wang Gou'er, to help him as a guarantee. Wang Gou'er didn't know the algorithm of loan sharking very well, and thought it was just asking for more interest.

This guy's brain twitched, thinking that this family would borrow two taels of silver, even if it was nine out of ten and thirteen returns, it would only be five taels back at that time.

As the head of the village, I have no way to help. This family is not playing for money and drinking, but to show filial piety. Even if I help as a guarantee, it is nothing. When the autumn harvest comes, just sell the grain to others. In this way, he signed the bond without discussing with his family.

Unexpectedly, it happened to catch up with the national drought this year. Although the capital was less affected, it was clear that the profit from these two acres of land was not enough to pay back the money.

When Wang Gouer saw Tian'er dealing with the land, he naturally understood the situation at once. He sighed, and then he thought about asking how much the family had saved. make up.

However, when he went to find that family, he found that this family was not good at seeing things, and the whole family ran away overnight, which made Wang Gou'er very angry.

Only then did Grandma Liu know what he had done, and she was shaking with anger. Although Grandma Liu was uneducated, she was an old man with a lot of knowledge. She knew something about loan sharks, and the interest was based on the number of days.

It's just that she didn't know exactly how to translate it, but she hurriedly asked her son-in-law to sell the family's land, including the grain in the field, and then took the initiative to go to the manager to explain the situation and return the money.

Wang Gou'er also knew that he had done something stupid and helped a white-eyed wolf, so he was angry. He still had to solve this mess first. After all, if the debtor ran away, people would definitely have to ask him for money as a guarantor.

Fortunately, he believed in his old mother-in-law. His father said that his mother-in-law looked careless and uneducated, but she knew it well. If there was anything wrong, listening to the old lady would never make a mistake.

He moved very quickly. After all, if it was true what his mother-in-law said, every extra day would be a sum of money, and the five taels of silver he had guessed before might not be enough.

The man in that family is actually a down-to-earth and hard-working man. The two acres of land are well managed, and it can be regarded as good land. Therefore, even in such a famine year, when land is sold everywhere, the two acres of land Still sold for 12 taels.

Wang Gou'er immediately took the elders of the clan and a few strong boys in the village to find the steward, but when the account books were brought out, they were dumbfounded. They only borrowed two taels of silver, but now because of the interest rate, they have to pay back 28 Two, if it is not paid off before the end of the month, it will become more than 30 taels.

The villagers were angry, but it was clearly written in black and white that they could not be blamed if they wanted to. Moreover, those who were able to do this must have connections and backers. Their arms could not twist their thighs, and they could not fight at all.

Wang Gou'er brought his people back to the village in despair. It was almost the end of the month, and he really didn't know what to do now.

He is not stupid, after listening to today's words, he understands what kind of big pit he has fallen into, let alone selling his own field, I am afraid that unless he can bring his whole family to be as quietly as that person Run out, otherwise the family will be destroyed.

Wang Gou'er is now thinking of death, and feels sorry for his wife and children, especially his old mother-in-law. He said that he took people to take care of him, but in fact, it was the old lady who helped them manage the family's livelihood.

Not to mention that I didn't let the old lady follow me to enjoy the blessings, I'm afraid it will make the old lady unable to enjoy a stable life in the future, and my son will become a refugee, let alone read and write, I am afraid that no one will even be able to work .

However, at this time, even if he didn't want to, he still had to find a way out for his family. After he told Grandma Liu about the matter, he would ask his wife to clean up and run away with his wife and children.

After hearing this, Grandma Liu took two puffs of cigarettes, spit on the ground and said, "Bah, what you think is beautiful, do you think you can still take us out of the village now?"

Wang Gou'er looked at Grandma Liu in confusion: "Mother, what's the matter? Why can't we get out?"

Grandma Liu looked at her wooden son-in-law and sighed: "Everyone knows that the owner of the debtor has already run away, will they let you run away again? If you don't believe me, go out and have a look, there must be someone following us."

"Also, it is estimated that when someone borrowed money, it was our family that fell in love with him. Otherwise, Dashi's family is so poor that they only have two acres of land. They will not borrow money at all, and there is nothing to earn."

Wang Gou'er naturally believed in his old mother-in-law, but the more he believed, the more he panicked. He couldn't take it anymore. Wang Gou'er simply squatted on the ground, stuck his head between his legs, covered his head and cried.

He was not afraid of death. If he died, he would immediately hang himself if he could pay off the debt. However, he knew that if he died, people would sell his wife, daughter and son to pay off the debt.

Do you regret it?Naturally regret it, regretting being stupid.Resentment?That must also be resentment, in addition to resentment against the big stone for being unjust and heartless, resentment for the black heart of the interest lender, and resentment for not having a brain.

Grandma Liu couldn't bear to look at her dispirited son-in-law. After all, Wang Gou'er was really filial. He treated her mother-in-law as filial as her own mother. It would be a lie to say that she was not grateful.

After she smoked a pipe of dry tobacco, she said: "Let's go to the city and seek help from the old prince's family of your Lianzong, and borrow 20 taels of silver to tide over the difficulties."

After hearing this, Wang Gou'er asked puzzledly: "Mother, didn't you say that we have been targeted and can't escape? Can they let us leave here?"

"Besides, I understand that those who put money are vampires. No matter how much money we pay, we still don't pay it back. If we don't drive people to ruin, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Grandma Liu was overjoyed when she heard it: "Yo, this time I went out and gained a lot of knowledge, okay, we will not lose money this time."

"They looked at us, but it was in case we were all gone, and there was no place to ask for money, but they were happy to see what we got, as long as the whole family didn't leave, and they didn't take anything out. Son, they won't stop."

"As for the money, we only need to go to the palace to borrow money, even if we got two pieces of old clothes and pawned them in the pawn shop, don't worry, the debtor will happily pay off the debt, and will never come looking for it again We are in trouble."

Wang Gou'er couldn't figure it out: "Why is this? Why is this nobleman's money so easy to use?"

Grandma Liu laughed: "Isn't it because the money of the noble family is easy to use? Even if those people have connections, they don't want to provoke the palace."

"When we went into the mansion, it didn't matter whether we borrowed money or got old clothes. Those who stared at us knew that we had gone in. Before they were empty-handed, they knew that our family still had a sweet relationship with the nobleman. Of course it is not. It will make things difficult for us again.”

When Wang Gouer heard this, his eyes lit up, and he could finally see a way to survive, but then he said with a sad face: "I followed my grandfather to the palace for a while when I was young. There has been no communication for a long time."

"We rushed over to play the autumn wind, how could people pay attention to us? If the nobles despised us for being vulgar and beat us out, wouldn't it be more shameful?"

Grandma Liu smashed Wang Gou'er's head with her own cigarette pot a little bit resentfully. Seeing Wang Gou'er screaming for pain but not daring to dodge it, she was really angry and funny.

In the end, she thought, let's be silly, she is really filial after all, she smiled in relief, her old bones are alive and can move, so she has to deal with her daughter and her family.

So, Grandma Liu said: "It doesn't matter what the result is, let's at least try hard, there is still a glimmer of hope, as for the embarrassment, the old lady is already at this age, so why do you care about it?"

"As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, you will use the cart to push me into the city with Baner, and you will put the mushrooms I picked at home in the spring into a basket, together with the goose eggs you have saved. Take it."

"At that time, you will send me and Ban'er to the gate of the palace. We will call the door ourselves. What are you supposed to do? Just remember to pick us up in the next half an hour."

"Also, we don't have to borrow money. It would be better than money if we could get some old clothes for the servants at home."

"When we go back, there is an autumn wind. Looking back, when the situation improves next year, we will prepare more mountain products. If you have time, go to the mountains and have a look. If you hunt a big animal such as a roe deer, you can also bring it to the mountain." It's a little bit more human."
