Chapter 13 Door-to-door debt collection

After the heavy rain, it was another sunny day.

Zhang put the porridge, steamed buns, fried small vegetables, and boiled pickled duck eggs on the stone table in the courtyard, and asked Wang Jing to call Liu Chengfang to eat.

Liu Chengfang usually goes to catch chickens when he gets up early, the so-called driving chickens, that is, following behind the chickens, rushing to let it exercise in the morning and exercise its leg strength.

For the first time, the chicken lay there today and didn't move, and Liu Chengfang didn't catch it.

"Dad, how much money did you lose yesterday?" Wang Jing asked.

"I didn't ...... Didn't lose money. Liu Chengfang said with a straight face.

"That is to export our family's land?" Xiao Tuanzi said affirmatively.

"You...... How do you know? Liu Chengfang's expression was like a ghost.

As soon as he came back yesterday, he slept with a cold face, once he had this kind of expression, even Zhang was cautious, for fear of making him unhappy, and didn't ask him what was going on, how could this little girl know?

"When you came back yesterday, you looked at my mother's eyes with a lot of guilt, and today you didn't catch the chicken, Hongguang was injured again, and he could only lose the cockfight. You've won before, and now you're going to have to pay for it when you lose. Xiao Tuanzi stated the facts in a tone.

"I don't know what's going on, but in the first game, Hongguang Ming Ming won, but he lost the last two games. Our land will become another family later. Liu Chengfang squatted down with his head in his hands.

"Did you really lose all the land?" Zhang's voice was still in disbelief, staring at the man fiercely.

Liu Chengfang didn't speak, just lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid, there are more than 100 taels of silver at home." Zhang comforted.

"That's useless, I also made an IOU of two hundred taels."

"How can there be so many!" Zhang's almost wanted to go crazy, this silver was quietly saved by her over the years, "You know that your family has no money, and you still fight with others?" ”

If you give all the money in your family to others, you will have to owe nearly a hundred taels of debt, and if you have no land, how will you live in the future?

Zhang rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Liu Chengfang panicked, hurriedly stood up and picked up the person, moved to the recliner in the courtyard, and woke up after pinching the person for a long time.

"Mother, let's eat something first. One or two hundred taels of silver, what is it, let's think of a way, and there will be one. Wang Jing said.

One or two hundred taels of silver, and you really force people to the desperate?

Wang Jing was comforting Zhang, and two men in their twenties entered the courtyard, staring at the food on the table with a smile, "Yo, Brother Liu's family is living a good life." As he spoke, he sat down on Erlang's legs, stared at Wang Jing from head to toe, and said, "This little girl is not bad." ”

"Is there anything you guys are up to?" Zhang sat up straight and asked in a cold voice, they looked at Wang Jing's eyes, which always gave her a bad premonition.

"It's okay, what can we do, that is, come to get the title deed and silver, give it to us and leave, don't dare to disturb the pavilion elder."

Zhang straightened his spine and took out all the land deeds and silver, and handed them over without saying a word.

"Brother Liu's IOU was obviously two hundred taels of silver, why did my sister-in-law not believe her words and only gave one hundred and ten taels?"

"There are only so many in the family now, and I can think of other ways to do it." Because the man owes money to others, even Zhang's feels bowed when he speaks to others.

She knew these two people, one was named Meng Quan, and the other was Xiong Gui, who was a well-known gangster in ten miles and eight towns. It is said that when collecting debts in Zhangwangzhuang the year before last, the debtors scolded them, and the men of that family were hacked to death in the mass grave that night, and the family's house was also burned, and the girl was also forced. It was so violent that even the chickens in the house were stolen.

"If you really can't come up with the money, there is another way," Xiong Gui glanced at Wang Jing, turned back to Zhang's and said, "Take this chick away for us, and forget the remaining ninety taels of silver." ”

"Even if our family is poor, we can still raise ninety taels of silver." Zhang said.

"Sister-in-law, why should you be too persistent, a few days ago, we got five ten-year-old girls for Master Jiang, and each one is only ten taels of silver."

"Others are others, I am me, although our family is poor, we can still afford ninety taels of silver, you can take it in three days." Zhang said.

"That's not good, it's a hundred taels in three days, our brothers are not as idle as my sister-in-law! Besides, I run to your house every day, what if someone misunderstands? Meng Quan stared at Zhang's chest and said.

Liu Fangcheng stood up suddenly, "You wait a minute, I'll go raise money and I'll be back in a while." ”

The two of them still didn't let go, "What if Brother Liu doesn't come back?" ”

"Then we'll take my sister-in-law and niece away." Xiong Gui said arrogantly.

"You're so stupid, one follows my father, and the other waits here." Wang Jing said.

Only then did the two shut up.

Xiong Gui followed Liu Chengfang out, and Meng Quan sat down, "Little doll, it's better to keep your mouth shut and don't ask, what are we doing." ”

Wang Jing was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Uncle has eaten?" Our meal is also cold, why don't I give Uncle a hot one. ”

The two of them came to collect debts so early, they were thinking about rubbing rice, but at that time, Zhang's was only angry that her husband had lost money, how could she want to get so much, at this time Wang Jing mentioned it, Zhang's hurriedly smiled and said: "Patronize and get angry with your brother Liu, snub you, don't be surprised." As he spoke, he took the rice and reheated it.

Wang Jing didn't say anything, took a bag of croton, and when it was hot, she poured some into a bowl while Zhang's was not paying attention.

Originally, most people don't have this at home, but last time Zhang's toothache, the doctor just opened this, Wang Jing pestered the doctor to open more, saying that it was reserved for backup, I was afraid that Liu Chengfang and Liu Yongan would not be at home and someone would come to make trouble, but I didn't expect to use it today.

It just so happened that Liu Chengfang had already accompanied Xiong Gui back. Liu Chengfang has a lot of families, and his popularity has always been good, although ninety taels of silver is a lot, two of his three elder brothers are talented, and they don't have to pay taxes, so they can't take it out, but they don't open their mouths.

Zhang brought a bowl of porridge to each of them, and brought the reheated buns.

Wang Jing also brought a bowl of porridge to Liu Chengfang, Liu Chengfang hurriedly took it, and told her to eat quickly.

Although the people of the Great Zhou are open, there is a difference between men and women, and Zhang and Wang Jing did not eat with them.

After all, Liu Chengfang was an "official", so he quickly let go, and kept persuading the two to eat.

After all, the Liu family is a big surname, and there are many clansmen, and these two people don't dare to offend ruthlessly, and now they have taken the silver money, and they have eaten and drunk enough, and they are gone.

They walked on the front foot, and Wang Jing said to Liu Chengfang on the back foot: "I put croton in their porridge." ”

Liu Chengfang was stunned for a moment and immediately went out.
