Chapter 5 Relatives come to the door
Lujiazhuang is a large village with a population of thousands, with a total of eight teams, and Lu Zifeng's family belongs to the fifth team.
Since it was almost dark, the villagers were cooking or eating at home, and there was no entertainment after eating, either watching TV, or sleeping, and the younger ones were doing some push-ups and other exercises in the bed at home.
walked all the way to the door of his house, and Lu Zifeng didn't meet any acquaintances.
"Uncle Zifeng, for the sake of everyone being relatives, let's give some grace, I thank you for your great kindness. ”
Before he stepped into the house, at the door, Lu Zifeng heard his father Lu Baocai's low-pitched and groveling voice.
His heart was sour, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He vaguely knew who was coming from the house and what he was here for.
My mother was sick last year, and the cost of treatment was extremely high, so I had no choice but to borrow it.
Under the soft grinding and hard bubble, the uncle borrowed 20,000 yuan for a year, with an interest of one cent and a half, and not many days later, he came over every once in a while to ask for money.
Every time I just saved a little money and wanted to buy medicine for my mother, I was asked by my uncle again.
I don't have the money to buy medicine to treat the disease, which is also the main reason why my mother's old disease relapsed and became more serious.
Today, Uncle is definitely going to force debts again.
Lu Zifeng stepped into the small courtyard that had not been repaired for many years with a heavy heart.
There was a big buffalo tied to the corner of the small courtyard, and when he saw Lu Zifeng coming in, he called "moo~", and wagged his tail, which was very spiritual.
In the past, he might still walk over, tease the cow, and talk about his heart, but today, he is not in the mood.
Walking into the hall quickly, to Lu Zifeng's surprise, it seemed that there was more than one uncle who came tonight, and the third uncle and three aunts also came, sitting on the table of eight immortals in the living room, and when they saw him coming, they didn't raise their heads.
He knew, the third uncle and the third aunt came, and they must have asked for money.
In order to treat his mother's illness, he also borrowed 20,000 yuan from the third uncle, also for one year, with an interest of one cent and a half.
"Uncle, third uncle, third aunt. ”
Although he knew the purpose of these people, Lu Zifeng still called out politely.
Hearing Lu Zifeng shouting himself, Uncle Lu Jincai, third uncle Lu Yincai, and third aunt Xie Jinhua just glanced at him lightly, and they didn't bother to respond.
Lu Zifeng didn't care either, he seemed to be used to it.
"Dad. Lu Zifeng walked to his father's side.
Father Zhang Baocai nodded, looked at his son, a little strange, how did this seem to be a little higher than before going out in the morning, but he didn't care too much.
"Second brother, it's not that we don't miss family affection, it's really that we also have our difficulties! You don't know, the tremor is also loud, and it's not far from marrying a daughter-in-law, so you have to return the money to me today. The third aunt said at this time.
As soon as he heard this, Lu Zifeng laughed.
Lu Zhensheng, the eldest son of the third uncle and Lu Zifeng's cousin, just graduated from junior high school this year and got married with a hammer!
This is already complete nonsense, with only one purpose, and that is to pay back the money.
"Zifeng, what are you laughing at, do you think I'm asking you for money, you're uncomfortable?" The third aunt heard Lu Zifeng's laughter, and felt very uncomfortable, "Don't borrow money if you have the ability! ”
"Brother and sister, don't be angry! Zifeng child, if you are upset somewhere, don't be embarrassed, we will try to return the money to you." Father Lu Baocai immediately apologized to Lu Zifeng.
"As soon as possible?, when is that!" The third aunt Xie Jinhua said in a weird manner: "I heard that the second sister-in-law's illness has recurred!"
The implication is that if your wife's illness recurs, she will definitely have to spend money again, and when the time comes, she will dig out the family and pay it back.
"Second child, I see that your mother's illness is not cured, early death and early relief, saving a large family. Uncle Lu Jincai said.
"Boss, how can you talk like that, it's your own brother and sister. Father Lu Baocai's tone was a little annoyed.
Lu Zifeng's fists were clenched, these words were too hurtful, this was a human life!
"I'm doing this for your own good. Lao Dalu Jincai said disapprerovingly, and said in his heart, if it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't be able to pay back the money, Lao Tzu wouldn't be too lazy to care about this in your family.
"Second brother, seeing that you really can't come up with the money, we won't force you anymore, let us take the big buffalo at the gate of the courtyard, and we should pay off part of the debt. ”
At this time, the third uncle, Lu Yincai, stood up and said.
"That is, if you don't have any money, you will take out the big buffalo to pay off the debt. The third aunt echoed.
"Second brother, you won't want to stop this, it's only right to repay debts. "The old continent Jin Cai gang said.
When Lu Zifeng and his father Lu Baocai heard this, their faces also became gloomy.
The two of them instantly understood in their hearts that the purpose of their coming tonight was to take away the big buffalo at home.
Father Lu Baocai's clenched fists slowly loosened, and with a little helplessness, he said, "Take that big buffalo." ”
Yes, it is natural to repay debts, what can he do?
"Okay, second brother, we won't bother you anymore. ”
The third aunt said, and took the lead out of the hall to lead the cow away from the yard.
The eldest uncle and the third uncle then followed out ruthlessly.
"Moo~"
The big buffalo seemed to feel something, knew that it was going to be pulled away, and let out a reluctant cry.
Lu Zifeng couldn't hold back anymore and rushed out of the hall.
"Stop, you can't take this cow away. Lu Zifeng said almost in a roaring voice.
"What, Zifeng, your father said let's take it, what are you doing with a child?" said the third aunt unhappily.
"If I say no, I can't. ”
Lu Zifeng jumped over and grabbed the rope of the bolted cow.
Anyway, this big buffalo can't be moved tonight.
The Bull Demon King (Lu Zifeng's name for the buffalo) came to his house five years ago, and his feelings naturally don't need to be said, and it's about time to plough the fields.
"Zifeng, if you're messing around, don't blame the third uncle for being polite!" The third uncle Lu Yincai glared at Lu Zifeng, wanting to snatch the rope from Lu Zifeng's hand, but was stopped by Lu Zifeng again.
"Zifeng, do you still have us elders in your heart? ”
Uncle Lu Jincai saw Lu Zifeng holding on to the rope, and his heart was furious.
At this time, his father Lu Baocai saw that the situation was a little bad and also rushed out.
"Zifeng, forget it, give them the cow. Lu Baocai said helplessly.
He was willing to let the cow be taken away, but there was no way.
"Dad, I'll solve this matter today. Lu Zifeng said.
Since he was a child, he has grown up under the protection of his father, and today, he is going to do something for this family.
The reason why he dared to say this was because of the jade pendant around his neck, and he thought of that mysterious palace, which he believed was true.
Not to mention anything else, with so many weapons in the palace, knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, hundreds of pieces, and he looked at it before, I don't know if the quality is good or not, but the appearance is absolutely first-class, and it is not a problem to sell for a few hundred yuan a piece.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, at this time, I will personally give you the money. ”
Thinking of those things in the palace, Lu Zifeng felt a lot more confident in his heart, and said very boldly to the uncle, the third uncle and the third aunt.
"You said tomorrow will be tomorrow! Your father has no money, what do you rely on to repay the money, do you rely on a mouth?" Uncle Zhang Jincai smiled and urinated.
"Huh. Lu Zifeng smiled coldly.
Since these people don't care about their relatives, then he has nothing to scruple about.
"Third aunt, when I borrowed money, I said that it would last for a year, but now the year has not yet arrived, and before and after, you have also taken away more than 3,000 yuan, and the most important thing is that your family built a house this year, saying that everyone is relatives, and asked me and my father to help, and worked for a month, you are good, you don't even care about food, let alone wages. ”
"Uncle, for your 20,000 yuan, our family exchanged the most fertile land in the east of the village with the barren land in the west of your village.
In the past, I thought that everyone was a relative, and I was a junior, and my father didn't say anything, so he put up with it.
But now, he couldn't bear it.
