Chapter 8 You can pay off your money and debts, but you can't pay off your personal debts
Er Ya carried the little dragon from the west end of the village to the east end;
The eldest uncle and the second uncle's house is an old house, at the east end of the village. Xiaohu's home is at the west end of the village. When Xiaohu's grandfather divided the family with his three sons, he divided the six rooms of the ancestral house plus the front and back yards, and half of the family was divided between the eldest and the second. In addition, the third child (that is, Xiaohu's father) built four new houses on more than two acres of dry land in the west of the village, and also gave the land to his family, and fenced it off with wooden stakes.
Zhuangzi is not big, even if he is holding a three-year-old boy, don't look at it from west to east. Erya really doesn't feel tired except for sleepiness.
When I came to the second aunt's house, the breakfast at the second aunt's house had not yet been prepared.
The second aunt's surname is Fan, and her mother's home Fan Tangzhuang is not far from Liu Er's maiden home (Liu's hometown), just across three small villages. However, the second aunt is separated from the second girl Liu, so she is not familiar with it! When Liu Er's girl married into Wang Dacai's family, she talked to each other and introduced each other, so that she knew that the two families were not far away. Speaking of some people in Zhuangzi, many of them still have distant and close relatives.
Originally, the two were a little close to each other because of their proximity to their parents' families, and the second girl entered their own door again, so they were even more intimate!
The second aunt was still in the hall, and from the open front yard gate, she saw that the second girl was coming with a little dragon in her arms, and she greeted her with a smile.
"O eldest nephew and daughter-in-law! Why don't you sleep more today? Xiaohu drank too much last night, tired you, right? Your second uncle and Xiangzi also drank too much, so I didn't sleep well all night, and I was busy taking care of the two drunks! ”
Erya laughed, it turned out that I wasn't the one who suffered! Then vomit: "I didn't sleep much, Xiaohu vomited most of the night." I fell asleep in the second half of the night. I also waited for him to stop making trouble before going to sleep, and I didn't sleep for long, this little guy was clamoring to get up to play with Anzi, and he couldn't sleep no matter how he coaxed him, so he had to get up, hurriedly get some food for him, and hurried over! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here so early! As he spoke, he bent down and put down the little dragon and asked him to go and play with the little brother by himself.
followed the second aunt to the hall, and from the shoulder bag she was carrying (the second girl was carrying a small bamboo basket everywhere, which was not good-looking and inconvenient, so she sewed the simplest shoulder bag by herself), and took out a square cake and gave it to the second aunt: "Second aunt, this is the pastry that the big milk carried on me yesterday, this one is for you, and I will send one to the eldest aunt later!" ”
The second aunt tugged for a while before taking the pastry. It's a kind of etiquette in the local area, too! Whether you want it or not, I want you to push me to do this! "Hey! Then I'll accept it, the eldest aunt of the sixth master's family is really thoughtful, and this is all prepared for you. Then you go to your uncle's house first, and then go back to sleep after you're done. The little dragon is here to go. He used to sleep with Anzi, and the two of them were used to playing in bed early in the morning, no wonder he made trouble with you early in the morning! ”
Erya regretted it a little, knowing that she wouldn't have much to do yesterday to take Xiaolong back!
"That's good! I'll go to my uncle's house first, and then go back to sleep for a while, I'm really sleepy! ”
The eldest aunt had already heard the sound of the second aunt talking to her next door, and was waiting for her to pass at the gate.
The eldest aunt looked at the second thief and smiled, and the second girl felt a little creepy: "Auntie, if you have something to say, don't laugh like this!" ”
The eldest aunt lowered her voice: "Did you have sex last night?" As soon as Erya heard it, she knew what the aunt meant.
"No! When the little tiger can move, it is vomiting! Then I slept so hard that I probably wouldn't wake up! Also, Erya didn't want to say that within three years, she would try her best to repay her debts and take off her hat of poverty! You can't disrupt your plans just because you have children.
"Oh! By the way, this is a square slice cake given by the big milk, a second aunt, this one is for you! Er Ya took out the square slice cake and handed it to the eldest uncle.
The eldest aunt did not refuse, took the square slice cake, and asked with a smile: "What did your grandmother say when she gave the square slice cake?" ”
Erya thought about it, and she really didn't remember much of the commotion at the time. "It's like saying you can't give it to someone else! I don't remember the rest! ”
The eldest aunt looked smug with "I guessed you didn't know", "You, you don't know yet, this cake means 'backgammon', and you want to eat it with the groom." You see you gave it to us, what do you and Xiaohu eat? ”
"Huh!?" Erya really didn't know what it meant, "There are two more, there are ones for us to eat!" ”
"His big really value you! Even the real mother's family only prepares two, and his big actually prepare four for you. The sixth master's family really can't pay it back! Suddenly, the eldest aunt's expression became heavy and gloomy.
When Erya saw her like this, she knew that this was a kind of helplessness and frustration in the face of too many favors, but she had no ability to reciprocate!
"Auntie! As long as you want to pay it back, you will definitely have a chance to pay it back. Don't worry too much about it! The days are still long! ”
"Hey! said so, but this heart is panicked! "The eldest aunt thought of Xiaohu's second aunt again, why didn't Xiaohu come to marry? Obviously, Daman specially went to inform him! Is it because the money owed to her family has not been repaid? Ay! If you can't pay off the favor like this, there will really be fewer and fewer relatives. No one can stand his family's direct debt and not pay it back!
Erya looked at the eldest aunt with a heavy face, and didn't know what to say! But you can't just sit there, can you?
"Auntie, why didn't I hear yesterday that Grandma Xiaohu was here? Is his grandmother's house far away? The second girl asked the aunt without words.
The eldest aunt sighed: "Alas! This is also because of the drag of our family, Xiaohu and his grandmother have passed away, and there is an uncle who is physically disabled. His aunt was in charge of his uncle, and his uncle couldn't beat his aunt because of his bad legs and feet, so he was eaten to death. When Xiaohu's father just died, his uncle sent five taels of silver to his aunt without telling him.
Later, his aunt somehow found out and came to our house to force the little tiger lady to ask for money. If you don't give money, you won't leave, and you'll make trouble! His grandfather found out and asked my family to sell the land and pay her back. Because of this, his grandfather was so angry that he almost lost his breath, but the doctor in the town took ginseng and hung himself, and he lived for several months!
It was also because of the second use of ginseng to hang his life and spend a lot of money that the family sold all the money and owed a lot of debts! And so, in the end, his grandfather didn't hold back - left! Don't say it, there is an old man at home, even if he doesn't care about anything, that's a reassuring pin. Suddenly, the old man is gone, and your uncle is like a lost soul, messing around all day long.
It's still better for your sixth master to stand it, and it's better to help manage the home for a while. Xiaohu also hates his eldest aunt because of this incident! Although I didn't directly say that I wouldn't go to my uncle's house, I didn't notify them of anything! Even when Xiaohu Niang died, he was not allowed to notify his uncle, or his uncle hid from Xiaohu to inform him, but after Xiaohu Niang died, his uncle never came again! It's almost not leaving!
However, his uncle is really good, and if his uncle can't work in the future, and his children don't respect him, you have to honor his uncle! ”
Erya didn't expect to ask so many stories casually! She also thought that Xiaohu's grandmother's house was far away, and their affairs were in a hurry, so she didn't catch up. Who knew there were so many twists and turns! Filial piety or not is a matter of the future, at present, there is still such a big debt problem to be solved!
"Auntie, I didn't sleep much yesterday, I'll go back to sleep for a while now to recuperate. Tomorrow I think we'll all sit down together and have a family meeting. Let's think of a way together to see what good ways to make money and pay off debts! Truth be told, I won't even be able to sleep well with debts! "Erya is so sleepy that her eyelids are fighting!
The eldest aunt listened to Erya's words, and her eyes lit up! Although she was not very rich in her previous days, she did not have to worry about eating and drinking. Since carrying this account, the family has not eaten the last meal, relying on the help of the neighbors, no matter whether the family is good or bad, it has survived! But if they want to repay this debt, they can only rely on themselves, but in addition to doing odd jobs for people in exchange for some food, they also raise a few geese and ducks, which is already their ability to reach the sky!
However, the two are different! She's only been a few days, and she's already helped do so many things they never thought possible! It seems simple, but no one has ever thought of doing it before! Therefore, the eldest aunt is very confident in Erya! Since Erya is willing to be the leader of this debt repayment, she believes that Erya will definitely be able to pay off the debt with this family!
