Chapter 64: Hanmen, then let it rise
The door of Lao Zhu's house was closed from the inside, blocking the eyes of the curious neighbors, and only sporadic voices came, vaguely and inaudible.
In the courtyard, the atmosphere is even more tense.
Under everyone's questioning, the uncle of the Zhu family finally confided the whole truth with his face.
"Dad, my son is also helpless, how can my son have only a little money in his hand to give his friend and teacher a drink, wine and gifts, so I have to borrow Yinzi money. As for why filling in the name of the second brother is also a helpless move, the son still has to take the imperial examination, if there is my name on this IOU, it will be a stain on the son's imperial examination, who will still guarantee his son, even if the son is admitted to the show in the future, there is this stain, I am afraid that it is difficult to do even the official, son, son, all of this is helpless. ”
Uncle Zhu Shouren knelt on the ground, hugged his grandfather's thigh, and cried and shouted.
The uncle's words are clearly picking him out and shaping him into a hook who endures humiliation for the sake of the family's prosperity!
"You still have the face to say!" The grandfather trembled angrily, and slapped the uncle in the face, "The whole family tightens their belts for you to study, what kind of evil thing are you doing!" ”
Uncle Zhu Shouren didn't hide, he ate his grandfather's slap alive, and his face was crooked.
"Dad, my son is for the family!" Uncle Zhu Shouren cried again after receiving this slap, "The son is also to revitalize the family, father, the son saw that the master had a secret secret, and the son can't leave a stain, father!" ”
The grandfather looked at the eldest son kneeling at his feet, then looked at the second son who was lying on the stretcher with a bloody leg, the two grandsons with angry faces, and the second daughter-in-law who was eager to scratch the eldest son into shredded potatoes, and only felt a burst of powerlessness in his heart.
"Yo, this is still a future showman, the future master, Uncle Zhu has a son like this, congratulations, your old Zhu family is not far away." The fat man looked at this farce with a smile, and said to his heart's content, "However, you are the king of heaven, and it is a matter of course to repay debts." ”
Speaking of this, the fat man's face was pulled down, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he also hid a needle in his speech, "I don't care how your family tosses, the money you owe me, no one is missing." Now the repayment is still 15 taels of silver, if I come to collect it again in three days, it will be 16 taels of silver, and then it will not be my people who will come here, if they don't know the importance of your future show to make a good job, then don't blame me. ”
After speaking, the fat man waited for the old Zhu family to give a reply with a gloomy face.
15 taels of silver, how can there be so much money in the family now, grandfather closed his eyes, only felt exhausted, thought for a while, walked to the side of the fat man and arched his hand, "The family is unfortunate, let the little brother see the joke, and Zhu also knows about the debt." Today, the family really can't raise 15 taels of silver, let's not mention 16 taels in three days, tomorrow afternoon trouble the little brother to come again, we are ready for 15 taels of silver, you see good. ”
The fat man grinned, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, I'm not a bad talker." After all, maybe we'll still be in business in the future. Well, tomorrow afternoon, I'll bring someone over to get the money. But the ugly words are said in the front, if you have money, it is easy to discuss, if you don't have money, the temper of these brothers who have no weight is not good. ”
"Let's go!" The fat man put down this sentence and led his little brother to leave.
At this moment, a young but determined voice stopped him.
"Stop!"
Everyone was shocked, and when they heard Zhu Ping'an's voice, they were all frightened, little ancestor, what are you doing to stop him, hurry up and send this plague god away.
The fat man was also stunned, what's wrong, this is going to be regretted, and regret doesn't need a little kid to say it!
"How?" The fat man stood still, turned around and asked with a gloomy face.
Zhu Ping'an raised his head, not stunned at all, looked at the fat man for a moment, and said loudly with a pair of red eyes:
"Hurt my father, and I want to leave without saying a word! Now you know that my uncle is the real borrower, but you hurt my father! ”
"It's a matter of course to repay debts, and even though I'm young, I've heard of blood debts! It's your fault that you mistook the borrower, and it's your fault that you hurt my father by mistake! ”
"If you hurt my father, do you want to leave like this?"
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's questioning from such a little kid, the fat man's face was a little unbearable, and he said with a gloomy face, "What, do you still want to pay for your blood debts?" ”
"Hello!"
"Xiao Yi!"
The family is not lightly worried.
"I can't beat you now, so the blood compensation will be counted. But you have to give us an explanation, if you are injured for no reason, can you just leave it at that? Zhu Ping'an twisted his strength and looked at the fat man.
Zhu Pingchuan also stood up, standing beside Zhu Ping'an, and looked directly at the fat man with the same eyes.
The fat man was stunned for a long time, thinking of what the storyteller often said, don't bully the young man to be poor, and then look at Zhu Ping'an, the little kid, and the eyes of the boy next to him, muttered a word of bad luck in his mouth, and then took out a bunch of money from his arms and threw it to the ground.
Throw it to the ground and throw it to the ground.
Zhu Ping'an didn't force the fat man to pick up the money and hand it to himself like the protagonists in some novels, joking, what kind of scene is this, what is he worth, it would be good to have this consistent money compensation. Then force the fat man to pick up money, come on, look for!
Men are indispensable in blood, but they also understand that those who know the times are handsome.
The fat man is gone, but the usury matter is still not resolved.
The eldest uncle fraudulently used Zhu's father's name to borrow money, causing Zhu's father to be beaten, and the family had to give an explanation for this matter.
Chen, with his two sons, stood there, looking at his grandfather and grandmother.
"Dad, soon, my son will have an exam, and my son can't leave a stain! The son is also helpless, and the son is also for the family. The uncle hugged his grandfather's thigh and cried and shouted.
"Don't cry." Grandfather patted the uncle on the shoulder and sighed.
The uncle immediately stopped his tears and whimpered, which made Zhu Ping'an despise it, and it was too bad to use this method.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the earth, staining the ground with mottled colors. The door of the Zhu family is open again! Walking out of Zhu Ping'an's family, everyone was carrying a large bag on their shoulders, the mother Chen and the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan carried the stretcher, and the man on the stretcher who was beaten and did not shed tears looked at the Zhu family compound and burst into tears.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
It was also at this time that Zhu Ping'an really understood this sentence!
"Yi'er, dad is sorry for you!"
No matter how apologetic his grandfather was, no matter how many tears he had, he couldn't hide the fact that in order to protect his uncle's reputation, for his uncle's imperial examination, and for Zhu Ping'an's family was separated! Or kicked out of the house! Zhu's father also has a reputation for borrowing loan sharks!
Two acres of paddy fields, five acres of dry fields, a few bags of grain, incomplete pots and pans, and a thatched house at the east end of the village that does not even have a courtyard wall.
Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.
There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant!
Looking at the Zhu family's compound, Zhu Ping'an read silently in his mouth, and muttered to himself in a low voice, Hanmen, then let it rise.
(This is the last plot, and after writing this plot, the protagonist grows up)
