Chapter 185: Counting Counts (1)
Old Man Tan saw Tan Deyin's solemn appearance, and his heart chuckled.
What does this dick want me to ask for?
As long as it's not related to silver, everything is negotiable!
He thought to himself.
"Second brother, what's the matter, let's talk about it." Old Man Tan raised his hand.
Tan Deyin nodded and said, "Dad, last time because of the Lin family's incident, in order not to embarrass you and your mother, we borrowed two hundred and fifty taels of usury, not to mention when this money can be paid off, that is, every month's interest money can kill people."
My leg injury won't heal for a while, and we don't have the ability of Qiduo, so we can earn a few hundred taels of silver at once. No longer has the same good luck as the eldest brother, the ancestral property that was originally useless has grown a pond of lotus root in his hands.
Every day, when I think of this profit, my head feels like it's going to explode. Therefore, I want to beg your father, first lend me money to return the usurious goods, and then wait for my leg injury to heal and make money, and then return it to you, do you think you think so? ”
Halfway through listening to his words, Old Man Tan's face sank.
Sure enough, it was for the silver!
Hum!
It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door, the second husband and wife have the same virtue, staring at my coffin every day.
Old Man Tan was cold in his heart, and his heart was cold.
He knew very well that if this silver was really lent to Tan Deyin, it would be a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return.
At that time, Tan Deyin said, "I don't have any money to pay back", and sent it away.
If an outsider borrows money and doesn't pay it back, he can use it ruthlessly or report to the official, but this is his own son. How can it be?
Can you still beat him to death?
It's impossible!
So. to the most rear. The money that had been lent was completely lost.
Old Man Tan let out a long sigh, looked at Tan Deyin deeply, and then said, "Second brother, among your five brothers, you are the most shrewd and calculating, I have always felt that you should be the most able to make money." Your mother and I are getting old. This loess is half buried, and it is not easy to support this family for the time being, where do we still have silver to lend you, aren't you joking with your father? ”
Refused without hesitation!
Tan Deyin's eyes slid deep into the depths of the deep annoyance.
Dead old man, when I saw that my three peaches were snatched away by the Lin family, he didn't care, and forced us to borrow usury.
It's really ruthless!
He was not happy in his heart, and the expression on his face was not as gentle as at the beginning, and the lines of his face stiffened, and he said. "Daddy, I'm your son. Would you rather have your money moldy at home than save our family? Do you really want to see our family hanged by loan sharks? ”
"I don't have any money, how do you ask me to save you, it's all your own doing. At the beginning, if you husband and wife hadn't been obsessed with ghosts and did such things that hurt heaven and reason, how could you have ended up today, this is God's retribution for you. Old Man Tan grimaced.
He got up and prepared to leave.
"Dad, don't forget, I still helped you move back the silver, don't pretend to be confused." Tan Deyin was furious.
"Rebel son, you talk to your parents like this, we gave birth to you and raised you for decades, and we didn't enjoy your happiness for a day, but in the end we were blamed by you, it's really ...... It's really evil, I really looked away, and I thought you were a good man, but I didn't expect it to be a big brute. Old Man Tan was so angry that his old face turned red, and his fingers trembled and pointed at his son and scolded.
If it weren't for Tan Deyin's injury, he really wanted to smash it with a stool at the moment.
Tan Deyin didn't seem to hear his father's scolding, and he didn't feel ashamed at all.
Anyway, I've already torn my face apart, so I don't have any scruples.
He sank his face and looked at Old Man Tan with pity, "Dad, don't be so angry first, we are father and son, don't hide some things from me anymore, just say it, I can accept it." ”
Old Man Tan gritted his teeth and asked very puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" What am I hiding from you? ”
"Dad, you bought the more than 500 acres of barren mountains of the old family." Tan Deyin asked directly.
"What did you say?" Old Man Tan asked inexplicably.
Why don't you understand this?
What does it have to do with me buying land?
Tan Deyin said, "Dad, don't hide it from me, what kind of person the boss is, our family knows it in our hearts, just like him, he still wants to earn money to buy land, don't expect it in this life."
Also, you said that this silver is earned by Qiduo, that is even more nonsense, a yellow-haired girl who is still milky, if she can earn a few hundred taels of silver with this ability, I will kowtow to her three times and call her aunt.
Dad, whether you buy land or land, I have no opinion, but the boss has already split up, and the silver is not his share. I am also your son, you can get a bowl of water, and this is still the case for the son who has been separated, there is no reason why you should not help us through the difficulties in front of us.
Dad, you can do it, if we are cornered, then we can only go to the patriarch and the people in the village to judge. ”
"Brute, I'll say it again, the old family's land is bought by their own money, if you don't believe me, I can't help it, anyway, you Lao Tzu and I have a clear conscience, you can toss as much as you want." Old Man Tan smashed the pot on the table.
After saying that, he threw the door and left.
Phew, old thing, you're really ruthless!
Let's see, I'm not done with you!
Tan Deyin's eyes flashed with a vicious light.
Old Man Tan was really angry with Tan Deyin, his chest was stuffy, and his face turned purple.
Zhao was in the inner room, and when he heard Old Man Tan slapping the table and kicking the bench outside, he didn't know what was wrong, so he got up and lifted the curtain to look out secretly.
After watching it for a while, I saw that he was just angry with the table and stool, and then he walked out of the room with confidence.
She thought that if she did something wrong, Old Man Tan would definitely rush into the room to settle accounts with herself, and she would not sulk outside alone.
"What's wrong with you, old man?" Zhao asked cautiously.
"Huh, what's wrong?" Old Man Tan glared at her and snorted coldly. "All of them want to come and me off. Brute! ”
Zhao swallowed dryly. He hesitated and asked, "Old man, who made you so angry?" ”
Old Man Tan sat down on the chair, picked up the cigarette pouch and lit it, and smoked it with a sullen head.
Zhao sat cautiously on the side.
I was very curious about who made him unhappy.
But he didn't speak, and she didn't dare to urge, for fear that she would be burned.
Old Man Tan smoked about half a bag of cigarettes. Only then did he look at Zhao, sighed, and talked about the conflict between himself and Tan Deyin.
"What? The second child would say such a big rebellious thing, he really raised such a big beast for nothing. Zhao scolded angrily.
Whoever asks her for money is an enemy who rips the flesh of her heart.
"Alas, who says it's not, I found that the second child came back from the county this time, as if he had changed. I don't know where he heard that I bought the old man's land with money, what a bastard. Old Man Tan was angry and annoyed.
It's got involved for no reason.
"Hmph. I think he borrowed Damei's momentum, thinking that Damei is now developed. He has something to rely on, and he will not take the two of us old in his eyes. Last time, because of the three peaches, their family borrowed more than 200 taels of silver, and they should have hated us at that time. Zhao said with a sneer.
Old Man Tan nodded, thinking that what Zhao said was very reasonable.
He suddenly remembered now that since last winter, Tan Deyin had been lobbying him to take out the silver for usury, and he had never agreed to him.
I didn't think there was anything at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that since then, Tan Deyin has been calculating this money.
"That silver is our Tan family's life-saving silver, so we can't touch it." Old Man Tan said solemnly.
Zhao's thoughts are the same as his, and he has spent fifty taels of silver in vain last time because of the Lin family, and his heart is still dripping blood. How could it be possible to borrow another two hundred and fifty taels of silver to Tan Deyin to repay the debt, isn't this asking for his own life.
She was silent, her eyes down on her thoughts.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the room through the dappled window lattices, giving the dim room a little light.
Zhao looked up at Old Man Tan.
He was putting shredded tobacco into his cigarette pouch, and his face was gloomy.
"Old man, I thought about it, why don't I separate the second family." Zhao said.
"Separation?" Old Man Tan paused with his hand holding the tobacco.
Zhao nodded, "Well, anyway, the eldest has already split up, and if the second child is separated, outsiders have nothing to say." I thought about it carefully, the second child can say these words today, and we can't count on him to make money in the future.
Really counted, the work of the family and the work in the fields over the years is the second family that has done the least, but his family has done the most. We used to think that he was sincere in earning money for his family, but now that we think about it, it is better for him to hide a lot of private money behind his back. My son can't help it, since his heart is not in our family, and it is not interesting to live together again, I don't want to raise their family in vain, so let's break up. ”
Old Man Tan looked hesitant.
Zhao Shi said again, "I've thought about it, old man, if the second child asks the old family who bought the land again, don't deny that it was our money." In this way, they think that all our money has been thrown away, and there is nothing to think about.
Didn't he say that a bowl of water should be leveled, the thirty acres of fertile land in Hulin Town, we will give it to him, he is a filial son, we can't lose him. ”
She deliberately accentuated the sound of the words "good field" and "filial piety".
After Old Man Tan pondered for a long time, he waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, if you want to divide it, you can divide it, anyway, this family doesn't look like home now." You go and say to the second child, I don't want to see his brute, let's divide it tomorrow. ”
"No, let's divide it today, this matter saves you a lot of dreams at night." Zhao's eyes narrowed.
Concealing Tan Damei's wealth, borrowing 250 taels of usury, stealing a private house, and having a son-in-law Tan Dalang, she thought about the current situation of Tan Deyin's family, thinking that Tan Deyin was no longer the son in her eyes, she had changed a lot, and she was no longer with herself, so she no longer had any hope.
However, Tan Deyin made those little tricks behind his back, and of course the Zhao family would not spare them.
The fifty acres of land in Hulin Town was the best punishment for him.
Old Man Tan nodded and agreed with Zhao's statement.
Zhao went to the East Chamber to find Tan Deyin. (To be continued......)
