Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro
Chapter 127 You must write an IOU
Liang's father saw Zhuang Qingze from the corner of his eye, but because his back was facing Zhuang Qingze, he pretended that he didn't see it and remained indifferent. It didn't make sense for him, as a brother-in-law, to greet people first.
Mrs. Zhuang didn't have the careful thoughts of Liang's father. When she saw her younger brother coming in, her eyebrows twitched, and she didn't have time to put away the worry on her face. She looked at her younger brother anxiously: "Qingze, you, why are you here?"
"Sister, isn't it convenient for me to come over?" Zhuang Qingze looked at Mrs. Zhuang's appearance and felt that he had come this time, otherwise he would have missed something.
Zhuang was worried that his younger brother would misunderstand again, and when he got nervous, he said that he didn't have enough money: "No, I'm still discussing with your brother-in-law, and I only found 40 taels for the time being, but don't worry, you're doing business. If my sister supports it, I will definitely make up 100 taels."
Originally, Zhuang Qingze was very dissatisfied with only borrowing 100 taels from the Zhuang family. Now that he came here and heard that he only found 40 taels, he felt that Zhuang Qingrong was just perfunctory to him and didn't want to borrow money.
Zhuang Qingze's thoughts drifted back to ten years ago. When his parents passed away, he left the dealership and took his wife and children to the Liang's house according to his parents' words. Go out and sell, and you can make money if you sell.
The current Zhuang Qingze has been completely distorted by Zhao Hongmei's pillow wind. He wholeheartedly agrees with what Zhao Hongmei said, regardless of the facts.
When Zhuang Qingze brought Zhao Hongmei and their son to Yang'an County, the Zhuang family was not particularly well-off, but they still took out more than half of their savings to help Zhuang Qingze and the others set up a secondary courtyard in the county.
Father Liang thought that teaching a man how to fish is worse than giving him a fish, so after he and the Zhuang family bought Zhuang Qingze and the others a place to live, instead of lending them money directly, they gave Zhuang Qingze the Liang family's wine and asked Zhuang Qingze to sell it .
Taking wine selling as an entry point opened up Zhuang Qingze's way to run a business. In this way, Zhuang Qingze can stand up on his own without worrying about outsiders' advice, and his family can feel at ease when spending money.
Although he didn't borrow money directly, Mrs. Zhuang loves her younger brother's family and often subsidizes them with various things. Father Liang doesn't care about this aspect, because in his opinion, Zhuang Qingze can already support his family with a earning business. It's just a small thing, doesn't matter.
So this borrowing money can be regarded as the first time that Zhuang Qingze asked the Liang family to borrow money, because when he first arrived in Yang'an County, Liang's father and Zhuang's gave him wine before he could ask.
Full of thoughts that the Liang family was unwilling to borrow money to prevaricate himself, Zhuang Qingze looked at the few simple hairpins on Zhuang's head, and suddenly thought that there were several sets of jewelry in Zhuang's dowry, all of which were gold.
Because the Zhuang family was not wary of Zhuang Qingze, Zhuang Qingze knew that the pearls in the Zhuang's dowry were replaced with gold jewelry, which meant that there was more gold in the Zhuang's dowry than he knew.
Zhuang Qingze's eyes rolled around: "Sister, if there is no bank note at home, why don't you lend me a set of those gold jewelry in the dowry, and I will pawn them to you, and I will redeem them for you when I earn money ?”
If Zhao Hongmei were here, she wouldn't be able to say this, because she knew that women valued jewelry, so instead of borrowing jewelry for a job, it would be better to cheat a few jewelry from Zhuang's hands.
Zhuang's was full of guilt towards Zhuang Qingze because of what happened last night, and she was very anxious when she came back to collect enough money. When she heard her brother say that she would use jewelry to pawn shop for money, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
But although the job pawn can be redeemed, but if you want to redeem it, you have to pay two to three times the price, Zhuang is a little hesitant, she thinks it's not worth it.
From Zhuang Qingze's point of view, Zhuang's hesitation is because she is not happy. In his heart, Zhuang's dowry should have been reserved for him, but his parents gave it to Zhuang's sister instead. If his parents had thought more about him back then, How could he be suppressed by the Liang family...
Thinking of this, Zhuang Qingze looked at Zhuang Shi with even more sinister eyes.
"Qingze, why do you have such an idea!" Father Liang couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that if his brother-in-law continued to pester him, his wife might really take out her dowry jewelry.
"I have been useless all these years. I have not been able to add jewelry to your sister. Your sister's jewelry was bought by her mother-in-law back then. Now that my mother has passed away, these things are left to make your sister miss her. You let her Take these jewelry to the pawn shop, if you don't redeem them in the end, think about how sad your sister will be!"
"And do you really know what a pawn is? Something worth one tael of silver is only worth five taels of silver. If it is a live pawn, it is only worth two taels. You ask your sister to borrow 100 taels of silver. Now There is still a shortfall of 60 taels, if it is a pawn, you have to take out a full 300 taels, even if you pawn all your sister's jewelry, it will not be able to fill the vacancy!"
"There is also redemption. The pawnshop says it will charge double the interest. When it is actually time to redeem it, you can see if the pawnshop is willing to scratch it!"
Listening to Liang's father's settlement, Zhuang was dumbfounded. She didn't calculate the exact amount just now. She didn't expect to go to the pawnshop to collect 300 silver and it would cost so much. If all the gold, silver, and jade were added, her jewelry would definitely be It's more than [-] taels, but she really feels distressed for her to take out so much dowry. Just like what Xianggong said, most of these jewelry were bought by her mother at the time, and she didn't want to take them out because she was forced to do so.
Zhuang Qingze didn't think about it just now, but after listening to Father Liang's words, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. When the Liang family had no money, Zhuang Qingrong took out the pearls in the dowry and bought them in exchange for money. Why can't he do it here.
"It's said that it's a job, so it can be redeemed. Why can't it be redeemed? It's a big deal to spend more money." Zhuang Qingze looked at Mrs. Zhuang and muttered deliberately, "What do you think, my mother gave it to you back then. The pearls are also sold."
Hearing her younger brother mentioning pearls, Zhuang's heart felt uncomfortable. She forced a smile on her face: "Qingze, why don't you wait a few more days, and my sister will do it. If you want to do business, can my sister support you?"
Father Liang saw his wife suffering, and didn't want her to be pestered by Zhuang Qingze again. He pulled his wife aside and confronted Zhuang Qingze himself: "Little brother, you want to go out to do business, and your sister and I support it, but now the family really has a problem. You can’t come up with such a large sum of money, you have to be considerate.”
Before Zhuang Qingze could refute, Liang's father continued: "But it's not completely impossible. The family has no money, and there is still a sum at the winery. I have to explain to you what is going on with this money, and I can't let you misunderstand us. I would like to lend you money."
The ledger of the distillery is separate from that of the Liang family. Because the distillery needs to collect food, buy clay pots, pay wages to the brewers and other fixed expenses every year, the distillery will keep a sum of money, which is about 100 yuan. two.
"I have 40 taels at home, and I will go to the winery to pay 60 taels in advance, and the sum will be 100 taels. This money cannot be moved, because if a large number of wines go bad like last year again this year, the winery can still save money. Continue to make new wine."
Mrs. Zhuang heard Liang's father say that he would use the money from the winery to take care of his younger brother, and all the guilt for his younger brother was transferred to Liang's father. She has been married to the Liang family for so many years, and she naturally understands the importance of the money from the winery. Thinking that Xianggong will use them to support his younger brother.
Compared to Zhuang's touch, Zhuang Qingze was furious. He didn't think the distillery's accounts were separate from the Liang family's. In his opinion, it was Zhuang Qingrong who knew there was such a sum of money but was unwilling to borrow it.
Father Liang looked at Zhuang Qingze's expression, frowned and continued: "As the old saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. Although the relationship between our two families does not distinguish between you and me, your sister and I also trust you, but this money is worth money after all. It came from the account at the winery, so Qingze, you have to simply write an IOU, and I will go to the winery to pay the money."
Originally, Mrs. Zhuang thought that her brothers didn't need to write any IOUs, but when she heard what Liang's father said just now, it made sense. Writing an IOU would make it easier to understand when they settled accounts later, so she didn't stop her.
But Zhuang Qingze didn't think so. He felt that he was about to explode. He thought that Liang Youfeng and Zhuang Qingrong were really bullying people. When he asked for a loan, they had the nerve to provide some kind of IOU. If it wasn't for Zhuang Qingrong's dowry, would the Liang family be where they are today?
Just when Zhuang Qingze was about to lose control of his emotions, after listening to a few words outside, Zhao Hongmei, who probably knew what was going on, walked into the room in two or three steps, grabbed Zhuang Qingze, and said with a smile on his face: "That's the truth, Brothers settle accounts clearly, 100 taels of silver is not a decimal number."
Zhao Hongmei came in because she was worried that Zhuang Qingze's disagreement would cause a quarrel, which would eventually cause them not to get the money, so she didn't think about it, even if there was an IOU, so what, as long as they said they had no money, how could the Liang family force them Also, they are Zhuang Qingrong's only relatives.
Although 100 taels is too little in Zhao Hongmei's opinion, I will get the 100 taels today, and then I will continue to "borrow" from the Liang family in the future. The Liang family has no money now, and they will wait until June or July to sell the wine. It's not like I don't have any money.
Zhao Hongmei's calculations were all seen by Liang's father. She thought that the 100 taels was just the beginning, but in fact the 100 taels were the end. It is not so easy to borrow money, after all, there are too many places to "spend money" at home.
When Zhao Hongmei blinked so hard that her eyes were cramping, Zhuang Qingze pinched his nose and wrote down the IOU. Just as Father Liang said, he simply stated the amount and date of the borrowed money, without specifying other things, such as repaying the money. Deadline etc.
Liang's father took away the IOU that Zhuang Qingze had pressed his finger on, and then took out 60 taels of silver to make up 100 taels for Zhuang Qingze and the others.
Looking at the 100 taels of silver bills that he got after several twists and turns, Zhuang Qingze's mood did not improve at all. He didn't want to stay in Liang's house for a moment, so he immediately left with Zhao Hongmei and his two sons.
Mrs. Zhuang didn't have the careful thoughts of Liang's father. When she saw her younger brother coming in, her eyebrows twitched, and she didn't have time to put away the worry on her face. She looked at her younger brother anxiously: "Qingze, you, why are you here?"
