There is a girl in the village

The two just looked at each other stupidly, but everyone looked at them stupidly.

"Fu Niang, are you alright?" Wan Niang ran over and interrupted their gaze.

"I'm fine, thank you, Young Master." Gu Xiaofu made a blessing to the man, and was supported by Wan Niang and retreated to the side.

The man nodded and retreated into the corner habitually.

"Stop everyone, the village chief is here!" Panting, Hua Erlang ran to the venue and shouted.

Yang Ming hurried over with Yang Rong and a dozen strong men from the village, followed by villagers who were moved by the news.Seeing that Gu Xiaofu was fine, Yang Ming nodded to that person.The man smiled back slightly, that smile made Gu Xiaofu, who was still in shock, feel at ease for no reason.

"Who am I? It turns out to be Boss He." Yang Ming said, not afraid to walk in front of Boss He with a fierce face.

"So it's Yang Xiucai, be polite." Boss He can hit Zheng Er, because Zheng Er owes him money, and Yang Ming is a famous scholar, even though he is only a scholar, Boss He will give him money He is thin.

"Boss He came here today to force the villagers of my Luoxi Village to death?" Yang Ming has been the village head for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with these disputes.

"Misunderstanding, isn't this a misunderstanding." Boss He laughed and said, "Zheng Er owed me 20 taels of silver and didn't pay it back. His family took their daughter-in-law to pay off the debt. The little lady can't think about it, so it's none of my business!"

Yang Ming looked at Zheng's family, and saw that several people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, so he knew that what Boss He said was true, and he couldn't help but blame him. Who would have thought that such a mess would end up in such a mess.

"The Zheng family has no money. If you force the law like this, you risk your life. If so, even if you go to the government, I, Luoxi Village, will also sue." Yang Ming said, he was not helping Zheng Er, but Gu Xiaofu .

"Isn't it okay? Besides, it's only natural to pay off debts. The Zheng family is willing to use their daughter-in-law to pay off the debt. How could I refuse?"

Gu Xiaofu felt sad when she heard the words, but fortunately Wanniang supported her and gave her a lot of support.The person in the distance looked at Gu Xiaofu in such a situation, and felt a little uncomfortable. In this world, there is chaos, but the people who suffer the most are the common people, and the most suffering are women.

"Don't mention the matter of debt repayment, Boss He, you can't force people to death." Yang Ming glanced at the Zheng family, and said, "Give me a little more time, let the Zheng family think of a way?"

"Yang Xiucai, from your face, it's okay to wait longer, but the Zheng family hasn't paid the money by then, so how can you say that?" Boss He is not a vegetarian either, but he was confused by Gu Xiaofu's banging on the door. He had to be a little jealous, he didn't dare to force him at this time, Yang Ming brought a lot of people, if he fought recklessly, he wouldn't be able to get anything cheap.

"You go first and come back in three days." Yang Ming said awkwardly, not to mention three days, even three years, the Zheng family couldn't get together 20 taels of silver.

"That can't be done. I respect you, Yang Xiucai, but my people also have to eat. If everyone is like you, should I continue this business?" Boss He was so stupid that he would listen to Yang Ming's excuse. If the Zheng family can pay back the money, do they still have to wait for three days?

Yang Ming also knew that this matter was difficult, so he walked up to Father Zheng and asked, "Old Zheng, do you have money in your family to pay back part of it first?"

"Village chief, my family is already in trouble, and I really have no money to pay back." Father Zheng said helplessly, looking at Zheng Er who was lying on the ground and groaning.

Yang Ming nodded, thought for a moment, bowed to the villagers, and said sincerely: "Yang's family still has three taels of silver, which can be borrowed from the Zheng family, but it is not enough. The Zheng family is from my Luoxi village, and the villagers are their own family." , I also ask all the folks and elders to help me a little bit, and don't let the Zheng family's wife be forced to death."

20 What is the concept of taels of silver? A farmer only needs two taels of silver to eat and drink for a year. A daughter-in-law is only ten taels of silver. A rich family buys a girl like Gu Xiaofu for only seven or eight taels of silver. 20 taels, if it wasn't sold into a kiln, it wouldn't be worth the price at all!

Yes, Gu Xiaofu is not worth 20 taels at all!

Of course, the hesitation of the villagers was not due to whether Gu Xiaofu was worth the price. She was just a happy bride who was bought for three taels of silver. Lost by him.

The villagers also worked hard in the fields and hunted in the mountains. It was not easy to support a family. It was enough to pay the government's taxes from time to time, and what they could save was life-saving money.If there is a problem with illness, the simple villagers will naturally not stand idly by, but who would be willing to help Zheng Er pay off his gambling debts? If Zheng Er knows that the entire Luoxi Village will help repay the money, then he will not let go of gambling in the future up!

The villagers were silent, Yang Ming knew what they were thinking, that's why he first said to borrow three liang of silver from Zheng's family, but even so, it didn't impress the villagers, Yang Ming glanced at Gu Xiaofu in the corner, and sighed, what a good girl , Why was it ruined by the Zheng family.

The Zheng family is also very desperate. No one is willing to help them. They have nowhere to go, so they might as well just die together as a family.It's okay to have a hard life, but the most fearful thing is that life has no hope.

"Yang Xiucai, I can give you face and delay for three days, but if the Zheng family still hasn't paid the money by then, then I will take the little lady away, but I promise you, find her How about a good place?" Boss He looked at the people around him coldly, knowing that he would definitely not get the money, but fortunately he had a pretty lady, otherwise he would lose a lot, and whoever said that the money lender would have a better life.

"How can this be done!" Yang Ming listened, and he was not willing to agree. The money is definitely not paid, and a three-day delay is just a nice way of saying it. If he agrees, the wife's life will be over.

"Succeed, since I can't pay the debt, I'll bet on my life to pay the debt, come here, and beat Zheng Er to death." As a gangster on the road, Boss He really didn't have anything to fear.

"stop!"

Just as the Yang family was howling, a slender man walked out from the corner, who was the one who saved Gu Xiaofu earlier.He smiled at Gu Xiaofu, walked up to Boss He, and said domineeringly: "I will pay back the money for the Zheng family, and you can get it in three days. Now please leave Luoxi Village first. You are not welcome here." .”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaofu looked at that person in disbelief, how could he do such a thing!

And the Zheng family, extremely ecstatic, who wanted to be forced to the cliff, turned around.

The villagers whispered even more, no one thought that he would take advantage of the situation, let him throw this white money into the water like this!

"Yang Xiucai, who is this?" Boss He looked at the young man in front of him. The young man's face was still a little green, but he spoke in an unhurried manner, not softly or loudly, but with a loud voice, and the one who saved the little lady just now Body style, end is handsome, what a man!

"He is my godson, Lu Yuanchang!" Yang Ming said, but he felt bitter in his heart, how could Ah Yuan do this, he was too impulsive.

"Little brother Lu, I respect you for being a man, so let's stop today's matter, and I will come to meet you in three days!" After Boss He finished speaking, he left with his men.

The matter was over, and all the villagers dispersed one after another.

The Zheng family supported each other and came to thank them.

"Needless to say, others don't want to lend money to you, but I do so, not because I'm a fool, I just can't see a group of people bullying a woman."

After Lu Yuanchang finished speaking, he left with Yang Ming.

Gu Xiaofu stared blankly at Lu Yuanchang's lonely back in the dark night, her mind full of thoughts.

"Fu Niang, who would have thought that it was Lu Dalang who saved you." Wan Niang also found it incredible.

"I told you earlier that Lu Dalang is a nice person." Hua Erlang said.

He admired Lu Yuanchang very much, but those rumors were too harmful. He only had a casual acquaintance with Lu Yuanchang, so he was afraid that his family would object.In such a situation, the entire Luoxi Village is not the same.

As soon as he returned to Yang's house, Yang Ming pointed at Lu Yuanchang's nose and scolded: "A Yuan, the money your parents saved for you is for you to marry a wife and have children to multiply your family business, not for you to waste it like this. Who is Zheng Er, how can I get this money back!"

"Yeah, A Yuan, even though the lady of the Zheng family is pitiful, you don't have to do this, it's 20 taels of silver!" Yang Rong also looked unwilling.

His Yang family can also afford 20 taels, but no one will borrow from the Zheng family. Isn't this cheap for Zheng Er.Why is it so difficult for the Zheng family? Except for the Hua family who are neighbors to his family who are willing to help from time to time, everyone else is watching with cold eyes. It is not because of Zheng Er's character.For an abusive gambler, saying anything is useless.

After Yang Rong passed, it was Aunt Yang, and then Aunt Yang, who tried to persuade them one by one, but Lu Yuanchang just kept silent, so angry that Yang Ming found a wooden stick and wanted to beat him: "Your father and I are eight friends, you Father and mother entrusted you to me, and if you call me godfather, I will treat you as my own son, you bastard, today I will teach you a lesson in place of your father!"

"Father, calm down, A Yuan has always been a good boy, why did you beat him, I will feel sorry for you if you break A Niang." Yang Rong hurriedly hugged Yang Ming, persuading him.

Seeing that his godfather was in a hurry, Lu Yuanchang knelt down and said softly: "Don't be angry, godfather, Ah Yuan knows his mistakes, but godfather knows, Ah Yuan will go to the battlefield sooner or later, life and death are up to God, Ah Yuan is alone, money To me, it is as light as floating clouds. To save a daughter today is also to accumulate blessings for the Lu family. I hope that A Yuan can come back from the battlefield alive, be filial to his godfather and mother, and treat each other with sincerity."

After hearing this, Yang Ming was immediately discouraged. He sat on the chair and gasped, thinking, this is the way of the world!

This world is not peaceful!

Twenty years ago, the country was in chaos. At this time, there is only the support of General Song, otherwise, the country will be destroyed.In the last conscription, Ah Yuan was only fifteen, and sixteen was the minimum age for conscription. Ah Yuan escaped, and now Ah Yuan is eighteen. If he is recruited again, he will definitely not be able to escape.It's a pity that there is only one seedling left in the Lu family.

When Lu Yuanchang returned home, it was Haishi. After washing up casually, she found the money box from the locked wardrobe.This money box was handed to her by A Niang before she died, and there were 100 taels of silver in it, which was the pension for her father who died in battle.

In the past few years, Lu Yuanchang kept putting money in it, counting carefully, there are more than 130 taels.Lu Yuanchang carefully stroked the decoration on the edge of the box, as if stroking Auntie's face, she sighed, that's all, death is like a lamp going out, so why bother thinking about it.

Lu Yuanchang took out 20 taels of silver, put it under the pillow, locked the money box again, and hid it carefully. What she took was the money she had earned in the past few years, and her father's hadn't touched a cent.

After turning off the lights, Lu Yuanchang fell asleep as usual, but the scene of Gu Xiaofu hitting the door kept flashing in his mind.

Gu Xiaofu also waited for Zheng Da to sleep as usual, but her heart was already so cold, how could a person who tried to abandon her in vain be able to make people return to her heart.

After sleeping for a while, Gu Xiaofu felt disturbed, so she got up to drink water, whoever wanted to go outside Zheng Er's room, the thin door panel couldn't stop the conversation between the two of them at all.

"Son, does it hurt? Be a good person from now on. Our family will depend on you in the future." Aunt Zheng gave Zheng Er pain-inducing medicine while persuading her.

"Aniang, I also want to be a good person, but how can I repay the debts I owe outside without gambling." Zheng Er muttered.

"Isn't Lu Dalang willing to lend us money now? After paying back, he can be a good person and establish a family business early."

"Auntie, I..."

"What else is there? My son, you mustn't hide it from my mother." A mother knows her son's thoughts best, and Aunt Zheng knew something was wrong when she saw Zheng Er's face.

"Aniang, I...I...I still owe Boss Guan five taels of silver." Zheng Er hesitated for a long time, but finally said it out.

"You don't make progress, how can you let my mother live!" When Aunt Zheng heard it, the sky was thunderbolt, and she had just sent off the jackals, but she couldn't meet the tigers and leopards.

"Aniang, why don't you ask Lu Da Da to lend us five taels, anyway, if you borrow it from him, you can pay it back if you have money in the future." Zheng Er rolled his eyes, and consciously thought of a brilliant idea. , and that's for the future.

"Don't even think about it. It's all because of the village chief's face today that the Seven Killing Star is willing to lend you. If you talk about this matter with him again, he will definitely not even borrow the previous 20 taels."

"However, if Boss Guan knows that I returned the money to Boss He, he will definitely come to me and ask for it. What should I do?"

Zheng Er and Mrs. Zheng were worried together. Father Zheng and Dalang Zheng should not know about this matter. They are both in poor health. What happened today is the limit. If they are stimulated again, they may die of anger.

"Aniang, I thought of an idea." Zheng Er didn't learn much about gambling skills in the casino, but the idea came one after another.

"What idea?" Mrs. Zheng asked anxiously when she saw that her son had an idea.

"How about we sell my sister-in-law? Since Boss He is willing to accept it, then Boss Guan will definitely be willing to accept it. My sister-in-law is worth 20 taels. After changing hands, we have earned 15 taels, which can make you and Dad eat." Serve the meat, let the eldest brother drink the medicine, it is not certain, the eldest brother will be cured."

Gu Xiaofu couldn't listen to the following words, how long it took, she was going to be sold twice, Gu Xiaofu couldn't bear to feel sorry for herself, she was so anxious, could it be possible, she really couldn't escape The fate of being sold?
