Chapter 9 The Matter of Borrowing Money
After a few polite words, the family began to sit down and eat. Yang Yu stared at the few pieces of meat on the plate with a pair of eyes, which made Yang Shan on the side feel ashamed. Although Yang Shan was also greedy, he was not as blatant as Yang Shan was.
Although the Yang family is not short of food and clothing, they have a thrifty old lady, so it is already very generous to be able to eat meat two or three times a month. Thinking about it carefully, Yang Shan only ate two pieces of chicken that night for half a month. After so many days, where do you not want to see meat now?
However, the family education is very strict, and neither Yang Shan nor Yang Yu has the courage to reach out at this time. Yang Qingnian saw that his children were about to burst into fine eyes, where was it not clear what they were thinking? smiled and sandwiched a piece of chopsticks and meat between the two, and said, "Eat quickly, go to Wenshu after eating." ”
Yang Qingnian's chopsticks are real, and there are at least three pieces of meat in Yang Shan's bowl. Yu Guang saw Huang's eyes, Yang Shan didn't want to stuff them all into his mouth, and ran away after picking up the meal in three or two strokes.
As for Yang Food, after eating the meat slowly, he looked at Yang Qingnian with a blank eye, and wanted a second time. Just where would it be so good? Sure enough, I saw Huang glaring at Yang Yu and said, "Why don't you hurry up and eat?" Do you want to study? ”
Yang Yu was reprimanded and came out after eating aggrievedly.
After the two sisters and brothers finished eating, Yang didn't go back to play with his friends. Yang Shan waited for a while, several adults had not finished eating, Yang Shan was idle, and saw the edamame that Huang had placed at the door of the kitchen, so he went back to the kitchen to prepare a stool to peel edamame. As soon as he entered, he saw that Yang Qingnian's face was not very good, Yang Shan was startled, and quickly took a stool and walked outside the door to sit down against the corner.
"If you can't do it, you can give me a word." When Yang Shan heard Huang speak, he seemed to be a little unhappy.
Yang Qingnian didn't say anything, but heard his uncle's voice, and Yang Shan heard one of them say: "I really shouldn't have troubled my brother-in-law, but now I can only ask you to help with this." ”
Help? What's busy? Yang Shan was full of curiosity, and the movements in his hands simply stopped.
Huang also said: "Boss, don't our family still have a little money?" It's rare for my brother to find us, so let's go down. ”
Is this borrowing money? But it looks like the village chief's father doesn't want to borrow it.
Everyone didn't say anything for a long time, and finally Huang was anxious and shouted: "I've been married to you for so many years, and I'm busy with this family, but today my mother's family has something to ask you to borrow money, and you don't want to?" ”
When the two uncles heard Huang say this, they hurriedly stopped them and said, "We came too suddenly today, and it's normal for my brother-in-law to have no idea for a while." Don't be noisy, don't be noisy. ”
Huang was persuaded by his brother, and he didn't know which piece of sadness he poked. As soon as Huang cried, the two uncles didn't know what to do. Only then did Yang Qingnian speak: "The two brothers-in-law borrowed not a few items, and I can't take out so much." Now in addition to the money for food, the family can only take out eight dollars of silver. ”
Huang immediately fell silent when he heard this.
Yang Shan does not convert the value of money. Thinking of Gu Kangjian's extortion of a penny of silver from the surname Lu before, after roughly calculating, it seems that the family really has no money.
It's also that Yang Shan doesn't know how to count, in fact, a penny of silver is enough for the Yang family to eat for half a month. As for Gu Kangjian, he really opened his mouth, otherwise Yang Qingnian and the villagers would not be so angry.
The four people who ate were silent, and Yang Shan sat aside and peeled edamame slowly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
After eating, Huang stood up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Yang Qingnian and the two uncles entered the house. Yang Shan's business is not over yet, and he did not follow. But after a while, the three of them came out, and the faces of the two uncles were full of joy.
Yang Shan saw it and thought about Yang Qingnian borrowing money.
However, Yang Shan didn't know what the two uncles were borrowing money for, maybe it was urgent. If it is really urgent, if Yang Qingnian does not borrow it, it will be too impersonal.
The two uncles sat down for a while before taking their leave. Huang and Yang Qingnian sent the guests out of the door. After seeing the figures of the two uncles, Huang asked Yang Qingnian: "I obviously remember that there are still two taels of silver at home, why do you say that there are only eight coins?" ”
Yang Qingnian ignored the Huang family.
Huang asked again reluctantly.
Yang Qingnian only spoke at this time, his voice was obviously unhappy, and he replied: "I still have too much money for eight coins, and your two elder brothers' families don't have money to eat, do you think I don't know what you're thinking about borrowing money at this time?" ”
Yang Qingnian's voice was not small, Huang didn't seem to expect Yang Qingnian to be like this, and he opened his mouth again and became angry, saying: "When your dead ghost father just left, the coffin was still prepared by my mother's family, what's wrong with borrowing some money now?" What's wrong? If my mother's family hadn't been thinking about us, there would have been such a good thing calling us now? Yang Qingnian, you are a white-eyed wolf with no conscience! ”
Huang's tone was aggressive, but Yang Shan heard that something was wrong. Thinking about us? Meddlesome? Call us?
Yang Shan had doubts in his heart, where did he still have the heart to peel edamame at this time?
Yang Qingnian didn't seem to want to quarrel with the Huang family, so he entered the door in three steps and two steps. Seeing that Yang Shan was still stunned, he pulled out an ugly smile and walked inside.
The Huang family also entered the door at this time, and still argued with Yang Qingnian unrelentingly: "That miser surnamed Qian, if something doesn't happen this time, can you sell the land at such a low price?" My mother-in-law thinks of us kindly, what do you mean by that? Oh, yes! You're the village chief now, how amazing are you, looking at people with your nostrils up, right? If it weren't for my mother's money, your dead ghost father wouldn't know where the grave would be now......"
"Are you finished?" Seeing that the Huang family mentioned his deceased father again, Yang Qingnian couldn't help but explode.
Yang Shan didn't expect Yang Qingnian to suddenly get angry and was startled.
Yang Qingnian was in the house at this time, and his voice came up with anger: "My father is in a hurry, and he is really unprepared." Your mother's family helped me bear this love in my heart, but I later paid back a lot of the money. In the past few years, whether you go to your mother's house to get things or give money to help, for the sake of the original love, I pretended not to know that it was a favor. But this time...... When you go back to your mother's house and hear that the surname Qian sells the land, you come back with your brother to cheat the money, and you and I are dead? ”
Huang was also angry: "Fart, you cheated money!" Am I still not for the good of this family? If it weren't for my fourth uncle giving me this idea, with your mother-like grinding and chirping, would it still be our turn to buy the field surnamed Qian? ”
Yang Qingnian snorted coldly and scolded: "Idiot! You also know that the guy surnamed Qian is an iron rooster, and his unstoppable stinginess will take advantage of you? ”
Huang laughed angrily and said, "Yang Qingnian, you wait, this time there is Xintian at home, you are waiting to kowtow to me and admit your mistakes." ”
