"Who else but Lao Jin can come up with so much silver ready-made?" Lian Shouren said disapprerovingly.

"That's a loan shark." Lian Shouli, who had been keeping his head down and making a silent sound, was stunned.

It turns out that Lao Jin is the day of usury, no matter in the era, the three words of usury are smeared with blood and tears. Borrowing usury is simply drinking water to quench your thirst.

If you want money to save your life, and you can't borrow usury, that's it. But now the reason why the Lian family wants to borrow usury makes Lian Man'er unacceptable.

"Dad, you usually say that you can't get on the side of loan sharks. He also told us a lot of stories about the ruins of his family because of loan sharks. Lian Shouxin said, "We still have this big family to support, Dad, this usury can't be borrowed." ”

Lian Shouxin, an honest person, was able to say the resolute words of this Chapter 5 Usury-Contract, which gave Lian Man'er a new understanding of him.

Even the old man had a calm face, no. He was also reluctant to borrow from usury, but ......

Lian Shouren was afraid that Old Man Lian would be changed by what the two younger brothers said, so he hurriedly said, "That's the family they can't afford to repay, we are different, we borrowed it to save the emergency." When Hua'er marries into the Sun family, she will be able to pay back the money immediately. Hua'er married into the Sun family, and in the future, she pulled her younger brothers, and she could talk about decent family affairs. In the future, eldest brother, I will become an official again, and I can also carry a few of you to be the master of the official family, five hundred taels of silver is counted, and five thousand or fifty thousand are small amounts. Don't learn from the little insight of the farmer's family, but only look at the present, and look far. ”

Lian Shouren said, stretched out an arm, and gestured to the distant distance.

"Five hundred taels is a small amount in the eldest brother, but our family has sold the house and land, and we can't get five hundred taels of silver." Lian Shou Lidao.

Lian Man'er nodded, Lian Shouli said too politely, he should have asked Lian Shouren, since five hundred taels is a small amount, he will not take it out directly, but also borrow usury.

"If you borrow this money, you can guarantee that you can pay it back in the future?" Lian Shouyi asked. He doesn't care about borrowing money, as long as he doesn't have to pay it back.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Chapter 2 Chapter 5 Usury - Uncle Contract, I promise to pay back this money." Lian Hua'er was busy.

"Then borrow it, just borrow two or three hundred more, and Erlang will also talk about it." Even keep the righteous way.

"Old 2, you shut up for me." Even the old man was angry when he heard it, "Five hundred is going to die, and you have to borrow two or three hundred more, you think the silver is blown by the wind." ”

Even Shouyi was not angry when he was scolded, and sat next to him with a smile.

"Dad, you have to use this money, and you have to go and talk to Lao Jin earlier." Lian Shouren said.

Even the old man sighed.

"Dad, I'm going to find Lao Jin." Lian Shouren looked at the face of the old man Lian, saw that he had no objection, hurriedly put on his shoes and got off the kang, and went out to the east of the village to find Lao Jin.

Lian Hua'er said that she wanted to wash her face, so she also got off the kang and went to the West House with Gu Shi and Lian Duoer.

"Man'er, my mother gave you the gnocchi to eat hot?" Zhang asked Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er really felt hungry, so she nodded. Zhang carried Lian Man'er back to the West Wing, quickly warmed the gnocchi, and served it to Lian Man'er.

"Man'er, you eat slowly, my mother has to make dinner." Zhang said, "Xiao Qi, your brother and you are going to help your mother cook, and you can accompany your second sister well." ”

As Zhang spoke, he took Lian Jia Wulang and Lian Zhi'er to the upper room to prepare for cooking.

Lian Man'er picked up the noodle bowl. Although the noodles are a little rough and have little oil, they still have a natural wheat aroma.

"Xiao Qi, you can eat with me." Lian Man'er took a bite, and Xiao Qi stood there looking at her, her big eyes flickering.

"Second sister, I'm not hungry." Lian Xiaoqi said, "I don't like to eat gnocchi." ”

Lian Man'er looked at Lian Xiaoqi's obviously insincere appearance and felt a little funny.

"I can't eat so much, let's eat together, I won't tell my mother." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Xiaoqi thought about it, but still shook his head.

"Second sister, you are injured. You're cute and eating gnocchi. ”

After Lian Xiaoqi finished speaking, he was afraid that Lian Man'er would let him eat gnocchi again, and he was afraid that he couldn't help his greed, so he hurriedly ran out.

Lian Man'er finished eating the gnocchi, and thought that the Lian family was going to borrow usury, so she came out of the west wing.

"Second sister." Lian Xiaoqi was squatting on the ground playing with stones, pulled Lian Man'er out, ran hurriedly, rubbed his hand on his pants, and grabbed Lian Man'er's hand, "Mother asked me to accompany you." ”

"Okay." Lian Man'er raised her head and saw that He was leaning against the door of the east wing on the opposite side and snorting melon seeds, spitting out the skin of melon seeds everywhere.

Lian Man'er thought about it and walked towards He's.

"Second sister." Lian Xiaoqi took Lian Man'er's hand, He's spicy and unreasonable, usually the second sister is very afraid of He's, and today she took the initiative to get to He's side.

"Second uncle." Lian Man'er walked to He's side. Because even Xiao Qi held her hand and didn't let go, she was dragged by her.

He didn't tease his eyelids, and agreed casually.

"Why can't I understand in the master's house? After borrowing money for a while, Hua'er said she would pay it back. Lian Man'er saw that there was no one left and right, so he said to He.

"If it's not her, who else?" He Shi didn't have a good breath, "It's what she did." ”

"But if Hua'er marries into the Sun family, she is a member of the Sun family. If you want to borrow money today, you are borrowing from your family. At that time, Hua'er left and lived in a big house, saying that why did the Sun family pay back the money for the Lian family? Our house and land are here, people want money, are they looking for us, or are they looking for Sister Hua'er? ”

Ho's eyes rolled.

"Uncle can coax people, she doesn't suffer, she always makes people suffer." Lian Man'er said again.

"It's not, I really have to prevent that little slut from turning his face and denying it." He's face suddenly lengthened, and he turned his head and went into the upper room to pull Lian Shouyi out, and the two of them entered the east wing and closed the door.

When the goal is achieved, we will act when the time comes, and we must not lose our place of residence as soon as we arrive in this world. Moreover, even the trustworthy husband and wife have the matter of selling her, but the children, like her, have no right to speak, and they cannot watch them either being sold or living on the street to beg for food.

Even old man, your real estate and real estate, let me help you protect it. Lian Man'er secretly clenched her fists.

"Second sister......" Lian Xiaoqi looked up at Lian Man'er, as if he had something to say.

"Shhhh......hh

"Second sister, I understand, I won't say it." Xiao Qima said.

Lian Man'er looked at Xiao Qi carefully, the child was tiger-headed, and he didn't understand anything.

After a little tea, Lian Shouren led the old gold.

Even Man'er hurriedly followed into the upper room.

"Xiucai said that the old brother wanted to borrow money, so I hurried to listen to the old brother's instructions." Lao Jin was dressed in brown cocoon silk, with a big belly, and he looked like he was only in his early fifties.

The loan shark with a smile and a kind attitude even said in his heart, whether he still has this face when he collects debts.

Even the old man let Lao Jin sit on the kang.

Xiucai said that the elder brother planned to borrow five hundred taels of silver. It just so happened that I had just recovered an account in my hand, and when I got it together, I happened to have this number. Since it was said that it was urgent, then I exchanged the silver for the old brother? ”

"Lao Jin, I have never borrowed money from you, let me ask you, do you count this profit?" Even the old man asked.

"I have several kinds of deed papers, depending on how long the old brother wants to borrow. They all sit on the ground and draw one, and the profit is three to five points a month. Our fellow villagers, my brother has never opened up to me, I only need my brother to make two profits, which has never been. Lao Jin said with a smile, "If it goes up in a month, it will be profitable, this is the rule of the industry, and I can't help it." However, if the elder brother borrows for a longer period of time, for a period of one year, it will be a lamb's profit, and he will borrow one and repay two. ”

Lian Man'er was a little stunned when she heard it. If you borrow 500 taels of silver, the family can only get 450 taels at that time, and at the end of the month, the principal and interest will be calculated according to 500 taels. If it is not paid in the current month, the principal and interest will be calculated according to six hundred taels in the second month, which is seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, and so on. And when he borrowed four hundred and fifty taels for the last year, he had to repay a thousand denarii when he repaid them.

"Brother, this five hundred taels is not a small amount, other people's families, I am only willing to borrow him for a month, and I have to mortgage the house and land. Brother, you're fine, I can trust you. It can be done in one year or two years. What are you going to do, brother? Lao Jin said with a smile.

This account, even Man'er can calculate it, and even the old man has been a shopkeeper for decades, = he is also clear in his heart, and his face is naturally not good-looking.

"Shouren, this money will be repaid in a few months." Old Man Lian asked Lian Shouren.

"When the autumn harvest is over, the Sun family will come to marry in September, and it will be returned during the New Year. Dad, let's borrow it for a year. ”

It's August now, and it's four months at the end of the year, and at that time you have to pay back the money, and according to the month, you have to pay back a thousand pieces of silver, so it's better to count it as a year.

"Three months, not yet?" Even the old man asked. He is also a careful budgeter, and if he is three months, he only needs to pay back more than 800 taels of silver.

"Dad, it's better to give a few more months." Lian Shouren said.

When the old man saw Lian Shouren say this, he stopped it.

Lao Jin observed the words, and took out the deed paper in duplicate from his arms.

"Xiucai's meaning, what is written on this deed paper is six hundred taels, brother, you can see it."

Even the old man took the deed paper and looked at it carefully.

"My brother looks fine, let's sign and draw a pledge, and Xiucai can go with me to exchange money." Old Golden Road.

"No problem, no problem." Lian Shouren was busy talking.

Lao Jin took out another box of ink clay and handed it over with a smile. Because he was next to Lian Shouren, the clay box came to Lian Shouren first, Lian Shouren was like seeing a snake and scorpion, his body was busy leaning back, but he reached out and clenched his fist to support Lao Jin's hand to Old Man Lian.

Lian Man'er watched coldly, and said vigilantly in his heart, Lian Shouren is definitely not trustworthy. has to wait for Lian Shouren or Lian Hua'er to repay the money, this matter is very suspenseful.

Damn, there's no movement on He's side?

"Daddy, wait." At this moment, I saw the door curtain lifted, and He Shouyi and He hurriedly came in from outside.

"Things?" Even the old man's fingers were already stained with ink, and he raised his head and asked.

"Dad, this IOU, I have to let Lian Hua'er press the handprint."

Lian Man'er pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes slightly.
