The warm sunshine in the spring accompanied by the breeze caressed Li Ling's tired heart, as if the whole person was warmed from body to soul, and the pores of the whole body were comfortably relieved.

There was a sound of footsteps beside him, and a delicate girl who looked like she was in her prime, carefully brought a bowl of soup medicine to him, and beckoned, "Brother, drink the medicine." ”

Li Ling, who was thin and pale after his illness, nodded his head with a smile, then reached out and took the medicine bowl, held his breath, and drank all the black pottions and medicines, and then let out a sigh.

It's so hard to drink!

Although he has been in this world for half a month, he still can't get used to drinking Chinese medicine soup to cure his illness!

Half a month ago, Li Ling was still a promising young man in the 21st century, as an accountant, he had a bright future, diligent and diligent old scalper-like work, got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, and thought about fighting for a better future, finding a good girl to start a family, and having two more babies, and this life will be satisfied.

But because the work was too hard, in order to earn subsidies, I was tired from overtime and never woke up when I lay down on the table for a nap.

When he regained consciousness, he found that he was no longer in the original modern world, but traveled to hundreds of years ago, a Dayue Dynasty that did not exist in history, and his current identity was a scholar who had just turned eighteen in Jiangcheng County, the capital of Hengzhou, Huaibei.

It wasn't until she saw her brother drink the medicine that Li Yue'er showed a happy smile on her face: "Brother, the doctor said that as long as you take the medicine for another ten days, you will be able to fully recover." ”

The corners of Li Ling's mouth twitched slightly, this bitter medicine twice a day was really unbearable, and he immediately discussed: "Yue'er, I feel that my body has improved a lot these days, or stop the medicine." I know that our family is almost out of the pot, and we still owe foreign debts, so we can't waste money like this. ”

"How can it be called a waste of money to let my brother get cured quickly?" Yue'er was a little anxious when she heard this, and retorted with a blink of her eyes, and a trace of mist appeared in her big eyes. This immediately made Li Ling raise his hand and surrender, looking at this sister who has been doing his best to take care of himself, it reminded him of his parents and sister in his previous life, although the latter is far less considerate and understanding than Li Yue'er, but after all, after many years of brother and sister, the relationship is still very deep, but now it is ......

At that moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, I'll drink the decoction for another ten days, and I see if you're in a hurry." ”

Li Yue'er rejoiced again: "Brother, you have to talk about it......"

A loud bang broke the warm scene in the small courtyard, a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, fierce and vicious men broke in directly, and the man who could reflect the sunlight with the light on his head looked at Li Ling and shouted arrogantly: "Li Ling Li Dalang, you are really comfortable, but don't forget, your family still owes our Uncle Zhuang two hundred taels of silver and has not paid it back." ”

Seeing this group of people breaking into the door, Yue'er was scared a lot, especially a few of them swept back and forth on her with greedy and obscene gazes, which made her heart tighten, and she shrank behind Li Ling at once, and called softly: "Brother......"

Li Ling's brows immediately furrowed, while he inherited this body, he also inherited a lot of memories from the original owner, knowing that what they said was good, but ......

Before he could say anything, another woman appeared outside the courtyard wall on the left and said to the group, "Bald man, you are too much of a bully. Knowing that Li Dalang's brothers and sisters were living a hard life, they actually came over again and again to force debts! Also, this debt is not owed by the child Dalang, but by their confused father who has fled after owing the debt...... If you want to collect debts, you should also find Li Tong. ”

Li Ling looked at his neighbor Aunt Jin with some gratitude, to put it mildly, to put it mildly, this Aunt Jin did help his brothers and sisters a lot on weekdays, and she was a real good neighbor. However, her family can really help herself, but the entanglement in the money is obviously not something that she can use in two or three sentences.

Sure enough, I saw the yellow bald man touch his bald head and snorted: "What do you know as a woman?" Lao Tzu is doing things for Uncle Zhuang, how do you say it......" said and glanced at a few brothers around him, and a clever moment reminded: "Father and son repay debts, heaven and earth." ”

"Yes, the father's debt is repaid by the son, God and the truth, since he Li Tong doesn't know where he ran away after the debt, of course we have to pay the debt to his son. If he can't afford it, he will take this yard and your sister-in-law to pay off the debt. If it's not enough, I'll send you to Uncle Zhuang's mansion to work as a coolie to pay back! ”

Aunt Jin saw the arrogant appearance of the bald man, and her face turned red with anger, and she immediately shouted: "There is really no royal law!" The Li family's big property has been taken away by you, and now you still want to rob everyone? ”

"Who told their father to be angry, he had to gamble, he had to owe money if he lost, he lost all his ancestral inheritance, and he put his children in it, who is to blame?" The yellow bald man smiled, and stared at Li Ling again: "What do you say?" Li Dalang, let's make a statement. ”

It was only at this time that Li Ling slowly sat up from the chair, his eyes swept over the idlers in front of him, and he looked very calm. This performance was slightly surprised in the eyes of others, but Aunt Jin and Li Yue'er knew Li Ling, and knew that he had always been cowardly and timid, and never dared to blush with others. It's this illness, and he was scared out of the debt forced by these guys before, and he almost died, why is he sick now that he looks much bolder than before?

After sweeping around, Li Ling spoke: "Brother Huang, what you said is right, since it is my father's debt, there is no possibility for the son to dodge......"

"That's it, since you can't pay the money, then ......"

"There's no hurry." Li Ling shook his head and interrupted the other party's words: "Some things still have to be explained first." I remember very clearly, at the beginning, my father owed people only 823 taels of silver, and then in half a year, he sold my family's property one by one, and he had already repaid nearly 800 taels, and then he left Jiangcheng County, not bad, right? ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, he smiled: "Even so, Hengzhu will owe you dozens of taels again, how can I say that there is a huge debt of two hundred taels of silver?" ”

The yellow bald man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he laughed again: "Let's just say that your Li family is a scholar and doesn't understand anything." Don't you know that gambling debts are subject to interest? You also said that it took your father half a year to make up the eight hundred taels of silver, and now it has been two months since your father escaped, and it will be a year younger when you add it inside and out. is so profitable, even if your family only owes a thousand taels of silver, and there are still two hundred left after deducting the eight hundred that have been repaid, it will not be wrong at all. ”

Although Li Ling could have deduced from the actions of these guys to force debts that his cheap father owed usury, he was still shocked by the huge debt raised by the other party's lion. But he immediately smiled again: "But even so, it's not the reason why you came to the door now!" ”

"Boy, what do you mean by this, do you look down on my Lao Huang and the brothers under him?" The yellow bald man asked with an unhappy face, and took two steps forward, clenching his two fists with a creaky sound, and several splashes behind him also showed malicious intentions, and they could make a move at any time.

Li Yue'er was even more panicked now, and grabbed one of her brother's arms, but she couldn't make a sound. She has heard that if she is really robbed of Uncle Zhuang's house, her life will be over. Li Ling sensed her panic and nervousness, and quickly patted the back of her hand with his hand, and then smiled: "I didn't say that, I just said that you didn't come at the right time." Because Uncle Zhuang had already made a note with my father that day, the remaining arrears will be repaid before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August this year. It's only April now, and there are still four months left before then, so you can't ignore the agreement and forcibly collect the money, right? And it seems that he also counted the interest on this period of time, so that we owe a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The yellow bald man looked suspicious.

"Of course, I still have the evidence I made at the beginning." Li Ling said, took out a note from his arms, straightened up, and poked forward. Speaking of which, this is the only benefit left to them by the cheap dad of the pit people, and of course, this may also be an opportunity for him to escape his debts.

The yellow bald man can't read a basket of big words with a few plus a big one, and at the moment, all the small eyes are staring at the paper, and the big eyes are staring at the pieces of paper, I don't know what to say. I knew that there would be such a thing, and they wouldn't come to collect debts, but just leaving like this really made them lose face.

Li Ling didn't give them a chance to think about it, and immediately snorted: "It is natural to repay debts, but you also have to collect debts according to the rules, and there is no reason to force people to repay debts early." If you still want to make a living here, I'll go to the yamen to see who is more reasonable!" ”

After all the words were said to this, the yellow bald man could only give up for the time being if he was reluctant, and snorted at the moment: "Don't be too proud of you kid!" Even if you are given another four months, you will not be able to come up with two hundred taels of silver, and when the time comes, it will be up to our brother to concoct you!" Walk! ”

Putting down the cruel words, the yellow bald man and his gang left in disgrace. It wasn't until he saw them go out that Li Ling exhaled and his body slowly softened. Just now, he was really afraid that these guys would attack him regardless of the fact that they would give him a strongman lock man, and with this body in a weak state, he was afraid that he would really fold in the hands of a few splashes.

Then, Li Ling found that there were two pairs of eyes staring at him full of doubt, as if they were looking at a magical stranger, it was his sister Li Yue'er and Aunt Jin. The latter was even more straightforward, and immediately asked: "Li Dalang, why are you so eloquent as if you were a different person, even the yellow bald man was sent away by you!" ”

Li Yue'er was also surprised and happy: "Yes, brother, how did you become different from before?" You didn't even dare talk to them before......"
