Zhang Yongping, who came to the house, is now 35 years old, ranking second, and married his wife Li Xunran from Lijia Village, and has an only son, Zhang Anping, who is 15 years old. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info: In the early years, after the family split up and sold the old house to his eldest brother Zhang Yongsheng, he settled alone at the junction of Dongzhuang and Xizhuang. He was an apprentice in the town's infirmary, and now he is the second treasurer of Baicaotang, and he also pours some medicinal herbs at home to treat the people in the village.

"Brother Yongping, sister-in-law, you are here, sit down!" Zhang Jiahang got up to say hello, and asked Yueyao to boil some hot water for them to drink.

"No need, Jiahang, let's come over and say something and leave later." Without waiting for Zhang Yongping to politely refuse, Zhang Yueyao went to the kitchen and brought them two bowls of boiled water. There is still some water left from the previous boil, but it is saved to boil hot water again.

Li Xunran, who was standing next to him, looked at everything in the room with a proud look, and then pouted disdainfully, and sat down next to the table and stool. She came with her to ask for silver, and she was finally at home, so she couldn't run in vain. At this time, I saw that the head of the house was sitting but didn't say anything serious, and I was very anxious.

"Jiahang, we came here today to ask when the medicine money you owe will be paid? Originally, it was good to expire tomorrow, no, while your brother Yongping was at home, I was afraid that you would forget about it. You also know that my family will be peaceful in a few days, and as soon as the autumn harvest is over, the yamen will send people to collect taxes. I heard that this year's taxes have increased again, and the pension money of the old man in the family has to be paid, so I am in a hurry to use the money now. ”

Since Brother Yongping came to the door, Zhang Jiahang knew the purpose of their coming. It's not that he won't pay it back, but he really can't pay it back! Otherwise, the last time Yue'er was seriously ill, he would not have agreed to raise the interest on the drug bill again, and he would not have come back later and later these days.

"Sister-in-law, I understand your difficulties, but you also know the situation of our family, the wild animals in the mountains are not easy to fight these days, give me another half a month. At that time, I will definitely pay it back along with the interest. "After the autumn harvest, the weather will be cooler, and although it is difficult to hunt wild animals, the price will be much higher. It's really not good, he plans to go to the back mountain with Jiaxuan for a run.

As soon as Li Xunran heard this, he clasped the bowl of boiling water in his hand on the table with a snap, fortunately, the bowl of water was only half filled and did not splash out, otherwise it would burn the people who were close to him. Zhang Yueyao hugged Yue'er tightly, burying her face and hands in her arms, afraid of doing it again.

"No, last time you said let's be late, it's been a long time, we can't delay it any longer. My family is going to go out the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow you have to pay it back to me no matter what method you use. Also, the money for the medicine I took two days ago was also paid together. I've already calculated, and the principal and interest by tomorrow will be a total of 16 taels and 326 Wen, and I don't want much, and the next 26 Wen will be kept for Yue'er to buy food, and the rest of the money will be given to me. ”

"Okay, talk well, don't scare the kids. How can Jiahang not pay it back, this end is a major event for our family's peace, and it can't be delayed. Besides, Jiahang also ended up in the past, and I know that it costs money to make a little bit up and down, and it won't make us embarrassed. Zhang Yongping first bluffed his mother-in-law, and then looked at Zhang Jiahang seriously.

Zhang Yue'er buried her head in the arms of her eldest sister, listening to them singing red face and black face singing, and said "righteous words" and pressed tightly, she really wanted to slap them over and knock them out of the door. But now that she has changed her identity, she is powerless, so she can only quietly listen to what her eldest brother will do. In these days, she still has a certain understanding of them, shrewd and deep, sleek and sophisticated, and not something that can be bullied at will.

"Sister-in-law Xunran, do you think it will be a mistake? The money for the medicine plus five cents of interest won't be that much. Also, please give us some more time, there is only one day, and we will not be able to raise so much silver. Zhang Jiaxuan saw that the eldest brother wrinkled his eyebrows and said on the side.

"How could it be wrong! It used to be five cents of interest, but that time you didn't pay it back, and it dragged on for half a month, and now it's ten points of interest. At that time, your eldest brother signed the note, and Jiahang was there anyway, so you can just ask. Then he said: "I remember that your mother has a good jade pendant, she is gone, it must have been left to you, and if you take it to the town, you will definitely be able to return it." ”

She didn't want to take credit anymore. The jade pendant in Sanniang's hand, she has seen it. Back then, Zi Yang took the jade pendant as a mortgage to her house to change the medicine, and later sold the two acres of good paddy fields in the village and redeemed them. She had inquired that the jade pendant could be exchanged for more than a dozen taels, if it weren't for that, how could she agree to the boss to keep giving credit to their two medicine jars.

"What? Aren't you robbing? In the past, it was three cents of interest, but then it rose to five cents, and now it has risen to ten points, even the profits of the money bank in the town are not so high! I'm embarrassed to say I don't want much! Zhang Jiaze was young in the end, and he couldn't help but speak.

"How do you speak? Jia Hang, you are now the head of this family, although your father and mother are no longer there, but Jia Ze can't talk to the elders like this. Although the interest is a bit heavy, if you think about it, who would want to give your family medicine on credit? Also, when I was taking the medicine on credit, I explained it to you in detail, but I didn't force you to agree, and I didn't lie to you. Zhang Yong said in a deep voice with a flat face.

When I did this at that time, I thought that Jiahang would not agree, but I didn't expect him to agree. As for the future, even if his mother-in-law doesn't stop him, he doesn't plan to sell medicinal herbs on credit to their family. This time they also have a valuable jade pendant, and next time they will have nothing. No matter how high the interest rate is, if you don't have the money to repay the debt, it won't be a waste. Some of these herbs are not cheap!

"Jiaze, apologize to Brother Yongping and sister-in-law. The interest at that time was agreed to by myself. After seeing Jiaze bow his head and apologize and sit down, Zhang Jiahang got up and said: "Brother Yongping, my mother's jade pendant was indeed left to us, it was the last relic she left, although it was not very valuable, but it was our only thought." Can you give me more time for my father and my mother's sake, and I will definitely hurry up to pay it back. ”

"Jiahang, it's not that my brother doesn't agree, if it weren't for your father's sake, I wouldn't have given you credit again and again. If it was usual, my brother would also persuade your sister-in-law, but this time it is different, Anping is in a hurry to use the money now, and he can't wait! Things are dead things, and keeping them is for use, and besides, Yue'er's illness can cost money, are you so sure that you won't use it in the future, it's better to use two of them this time and don't have to be embarrassed. Zhang Yongping also got up and persuaded him.
