Chapter 84 Resolved
Brother Xun saw a group of people coming to collect debts, all with faces, and with guys in their hands. After not having seen such a fuss in front of his aunt and grandmother for many years, he felt a little unbearable on his face, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it and be known by his father. The old lady naturally knows the truth that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and now is an eventful time, so it is best to turn big things into small things.
She looked at the IOU and said to the leader: "My grandson borrowed the silver from your village, and I admit this account!" But everything has to be discussed, and you guys are so angry that you scare the customers in the store. We have a female dependent, and we can't take it lightly if we are shocked. I think you're in charge here, so you might as well come upstairs with me to talk. â
The old lady is full of posture, don't look at the gray hair, but she is not panicked in the face of these ruffians. She has the bottom in her heart, no matter how she is, she will not suffer, it is just a good-looking thing.
When the person in charge heard this, he looked at the old lady's momentum again, and his tone softened slightly, "The old lady is a person who understands, and it is natural to repay debts!" â
"Naturally, I said, no one wants to pay their debts!" The old lady invited him to the upstairs room, where Brother Xun and Chang Cun accompanied him. Youyi and Wei Ru were in another room, and the old lady asked them to accompany them and not let them come out. The rest of the servants and entourage stayed downstairs and stared at the gang, just waiting for news from above.
The old lady sat upright on the chair, and Brother Xun and Chang Cun were separated. Because Brother Xun caused trouble, he stood up straight, and he didn't dare to cross in front of Aunt Chang ZĂ i. The old lady was not in a hurry to speak, but picked up the teacup and slowly stroked the tea leaves floating on it with the tea lid.
In the rural town, the best tea leaves are used several times, and the tea leaves enjoyed before are not as neat and delicious as before. She put the teacup to her lips and frowned slightly, but she didn't drink it after all.
Where has the scoundrel ever seen such pomp? He wanted to say something and swallowed it back, but he didn't dare to make too many mistakes.
"My grandson owes you money, yes! But in just three days, it has changed from two hundred taels to one thousand taels, which is a bit unreasonable. The old lady slowly put down the teacup and spoke in a slow voice.
"Old lady, we are clearly written in black and white, not deceitful or deceitful!" He pulled out an expression that didn't smile, and looked a little more cunning in the market, "Although we are an underground bank, we are not bullied." I saw that the old lady was not the master of the lack of silver, and she still spent money to buy a clean one, so as not to make a fuss and make a fuss far and wide. He could hear that the old lady's accent was not a local, but Brother Xun'er's accent was familiar, and he was a little unsure of the origin of these grandchildren, so there was a temptation in his words.
This person has some heart, this is easy to do, and it is much better than meeting a stunned person. It's good to have a scheming, at least you can understand what she says!
"I like to deal with smart people the most." The old lady smiled slightly when she heard this, "It's not a secret, I'm from other places to visit relatives, and it won't work to catch up with Huizhou in my spare time." The relatives were worried about it, so they sent their juniors to wait for the call, that is, my nephew and grandson. I'm not in Huizhou right now, and he's not in front of me, otherwise I don't need to talk nonsense because of these thousand taels of silver! As you said, it's not worth losing face for the sake of money, so there's no need to scare people by name. Since my nephew and grandson admitted to borrowing the money, I will pay it back! After speaking, he glanced at Brother Xun.
Brother Xun hurriedly shrank back, lowered his head and was a little embarrassed.
"The old lady is really cool, thank you for the villain." He heard that the son who borrowed the money was from a big family in Huizhou, and it was estimated that he didn't dare to report his true name because he was afraid of being harshly criticized by the elders in the family. There are not many big families with names and surnames in Huizhou, and it is not something that people like them can provoke. This is to catch up with Huizhou and cut off the news here, otherwise this matter can't be understood so easily. Thinking of this, he bowed a little more, and he wanted to say something flattering but didn't dare to speak casually.
"But......" the old lady changed her words, and stopped halfway through her words to pick up the teacup. She seemed to have forgotten the inferior quality of the tea, and when she smelled the taste in her mouth, she put it down again.
"My nephew and grandson also have a few pawnshops and money houses at home, and they find something to do for the children and grandchildren of the clan, but this is not what business does." The old lady's words shocked him, he was a smart man, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The family is in Huizhou, there are pawnshops and money villages, and people don't seem to regard this as a great business, who else is there besides the He family?
He raised his eyes and glanced at Brother Xun a few times, thinking about his identity in his heart. If it is next to the Hefu Erhai Lake, it is easier to do, if it is the descendants of the Yan faction...... He didn't dare to think about it, and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"I don't have a thousand taels, I've already said this once." The old lady looked at him coldly, "Two hundred taels, three days, I'll give you fifty taels of interest!" â
"That's too little!" He almost jumped up when he heard it, and shrank from one thousand taels to fifty taels, which was really a big joke. He has been in this business for several years, and he has met people who don't want to pay interest, but they make this money, and they have a way, and in the end they all pay it obediently. Occasionally, if you encounter hard stubble, give less, and it's not so much worse!
The old lady saw his appearance with an indifferent face, took off the emerald and gemstone ring on her hand, and asked Mama Lu to bring a bag of silver, a total of two hundred and fifty taels.
"You have two choices, take the silver and keep the IOU, or take this ring, which is worth not a thousand but eight hundred." The old lady asked Mama Lu to put two things in the tray and bring them to him and his ex for him to choose.
In the center of the ring is a green emerald that is dripping water, which looks very good and must be valuable. He stretched out his hand to take it, and just before he got closer, he heard the old lady say again: "This ring is not ordinary jewelry, and it is estimated that no one dares to accept it in a small place." If you want to exchange it for silver, I'm afraid you still have to go to Huizhou! â
Hearing this, his hand withdrew. If you can't exchange it for silver, it's equal to scrap iron, but if you go to Huizhou to change it, it's not
If you go to Huizhou to change, isn't this going to someone's door? If that kid is really a descendant of the He family's faction, can he still have good fruits to eat? Although silver is a good thing, it also needs to be a life flower! After hesitating for a while, he reached out to take the silver and said with a smile: "The old lady's ring looks like a carry-on thing, and the villain doesn't dare to take it!" The villain took the money, and the IOU was brought to him in a moment. It's just that the villain has a group of brothers to accept, and there is a big brother to confess above, which is obviously not enough. The villain left an address for the old lady, if the old lady pities the villain, she will send someone to send some over when she arrives in Huizhou. Let it be a reward for those of us who eat, and we will all rejoice in some proportions. â
This is really comforting, the old lady can't help but look at him a few more times, although he is in the lower ninth class and looks obscene, but he is a person who is not greedy and can think about it in the long run. The old lady nodded, her eyebrows furrowed, "Just with your words, I will definitely not make it difficult for you." You can go with confidence, and you will naturally have benefits in the future. â
At present, he has basically decided that Brother Xun is the descendant of the He family, and it is already good to be able to get out of the way, how can he expect that there will be benefits? It sounded good to say this, but he didn't dare to think like it in his heart.
He took the money, and after a while he brought the IOU himself. Brother Xun confirmed that it was correct, and directly tore it up and burned it. Seeing him leave with someone, Brother Xun couldn't help but snort fiercely and said, "This indiscriminate thing, I won't let you know until the master returns to Huizhou!" Leave the address just to take people! â
Brother Xun was a child who was dressed in fine clothes and jade food and called slaves and maids, where did he suffer from this anger? Now that the tiger is falling in Pingyang, I can only endure it for the time being, but I am ruthless in my heart and want to put those people to death after I go back!
"I don't know how to repent yet, be careful that I sue you Lao Tzu!" When the old lady heard this, she shouted, "You have caused trouble yourself, and you have complained about others in turn." If the flies don't bite the eggs, it's your own fault in the first place. I've promised them not to pursue it again, and you're going to get out of the way. Otherwise, how can you cover it up if you make a big fuss? â
Brother Xun was most afraid of his son, and when he heard his aunt's words, he hurriedly agreed, and didn't dare to have any more thoughts.
"What my aunt taught me was that it was my grandson's fault that made my aunt worry about it! I will definitely accept the lesson and change my ways, and never go to that pickled place again, so as not to fall into this scoundrel's way. My aunt and grandmother are very knowledgeable, and they are shocked in a few words. If it were for me, how could I solve it without a thousand taels of silver? "Brother Xun has the most clever mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have coaxed his grandmother to drip. Older people like this, and seeing his flattering appearance, the old lady can't keep a straight face. The other is that it is not his own grandson, so he has to leave some leeway in discipline.
If a family wants to prosper, future generations must be able to keep the foundation laid by their ancestors. The loser is nothing more than lustful, greedy for alcohol, and gambling money, this Xun brother not only gambles but also dares to borrow money from India, which is a sign of the loser.
The old lady didn't say much, but she thought that she would see her sister in the future and remind her to do so. She knows her sister's temperament, she is decisive when she is young, and she is the most iron-fisted among her sisters. Now that he is old and has been sick, he has let his children and grandchildren wander here.
As soon as the matter was settled here, there was good news of a great victory over there. The Nameless Island was breached in one fell swoop, the water thieves on the island died, the captured prisoners were captured, and the sailor battalion won a complete victory. The people of the town rushed to tell each other, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate. The water thieves who have been making trouble for more than a year have finally been annihilated, and they can be regarded as able to live a life of dissipation. In the future, you can walk on the river again, and you don't have to worry about being robbed and killed.
The He family also got the news, and immediately sent someone to hire a big boat to pick up the old lady and others. The old lady was naturally overjoyed, and Brother Xun was also very happy to be able to leave this place where birds don't right away.
