Chapter 62: The Usury Turmoil
In the battle for water, Xiahe Village won an unprecedented victory, winning ten flags, each flag is a five-day water period, and ten flags is a fifty-day water period, and next year's harvest is guaranteed.
The battle for water was victorious, and the men, women, and children in Xiahe Village were boiling, and they were all excited to talk about it when they returned home after the rally, so who and who is the children of the old Zhu family and so on. Xiahe Village won, and the village elder and Li Zheng happily went straight to the temple in the village to comfort their ancestors.
When Lao Zhu's house was about to have dinner, Li Zheng in Xiahe Village led a few young people into the gate of Lao Zhu's house carrying a jar of old wine, a pig's thigh, and a bag of rice.
"Uncle Zhu, you have raised two good grandchildren, especially your little boy, who is very good today. This is what I discussed with the village elder, so don't shirk it. "Rizheng in Xiahe Village is an uncle in his forties, the kind of person who is delicate and exquisite, and he arches his hands to talk to his grandfather.
The battle for water won, the village celebrated, the grandfather just shirked and accepted it, and then beckoned Li Zheng and those guys to sit down to eat tea and drink wine. Li Zheng excused himself and said that there were other descendants to leave, and after thanking his grandfather for his kindness, he soon led a few guys to leave.
In the evening, Zhu's father made an exception and drank a few more glasses of wine and was slightly drunk.
The uncle of the Zhu family also came home from the ancestral hall, as if he was fine, as before, with the pride of a scholar.
Time passed slowly like this, more than a month passed, Zhu Ping'an rode the old ox to school, and came out between classes to talk to the two Loli about shooting eagles and laughing at the rivers and lakes, except for more and more things that the master said, there was basically no change.
Oh,It's not nothing.,Every time before telling a story to the big and small Lori,,Add an activity.,It's to watch the big and small Lori dance the rabbit dance.γSing the song of popping.,Of course,Eating is inevitable.γ
Zhu Ping'an has done many tests on the ability of luck as a chicken rib, and he has generally figured out a part, Guangzong Yaozu, these four words are the key, you can generally look at luck once every ten days, and you can see about three seconds each time, which is very chicken.
In addition to these, Zhu Ping'an also used the name of the Chen family to go to the neighbors to play, and told the eldest mother and daughter-in-law to give them free raw materials to be processed into purses, and then buy them from them, each at a price of 10 wen in the town. The eldest mother and little daughter-in-law went to Chen's to confirm that Chen was also shrewd, although she knew that it was Zhu Ping'an who was in her name, but after settling the accounts, she felt that she had to make money, so she told them that it was true. In short, in addition to giving some to the eldest aunt and the third aunt and the fourth aunt, all the big baskets were given to these aunts and daughters-in-law. After deducting the manual fee, Chen went to the town to sell to the store, and made a total of more than one or two silver. It's just a pity that when I went to the cloth store to buy rags, I was bought. This made Chen, who had earned more than a tael of silver, distressed.
Time passed slowly like this for more than a month, and at dusk more than a month later, Zhu Ping'an rode the old ox home as usual, but the difference was that this time the old Zhu family gathered many people again, and when they saw Zhu Ping'an riding the old ox back, they gave sympathetic eyes.
Something happened, Zhu Ping'an shuddered.
Pushing open the door, the house was in a mess, the mother Chen sat on the ground and cried like a tearful person, and the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also had red eyes and tears.
His father, Zhu Shouyi, was lying on a stretcher, trying to comfort the crying Chen with a painful expression, one leg intact but the other leg was wrapped in a white cloth, and the white cloth was still oozing with blood
Seeing this scene, Zhu Ping'an was almost stunned.
Father Zhu is a strong cow-like man in his mind, although he is not good at expressing it, but the love he gives is no less than that of the Chen family, and he is also the pillar of his own small family, shielding his small family from the wind and rain. It is precisely because of such an iron-clad man that he can be carefree like a child when he crosses over. Before going to the town to sell rabbit skins in the morning, Zhu's father asked Zhu Ping'an with a smile if he wanted the rice paper from the last time.
However, this iron-like man is now lying on the stretcher with a painful expression.
Father Zhu is so honest and honest, righteous and righteous, and has never made enemies against others. This time I'm going to the town again, there will be no danger, it can only be someone who is shady.
"Who, who wounded my father?"
Zhu Ping'an Jue's heart seemed to have a fire burning, and Gollum suddenly climbed down from the back of the scalper, ran to Zhu's father with red eyes, and tears slid over his angry little chubby face.
"Don't cry, I'm fine, the doctors have said that it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, just rest for a month." Zhu's father was lying on a stretcher, enduring the pain and trying to comfort everyone.
The rest of the Zhu family is also there, the women are all six gods and no master don't know what to do, the little fourth uncle is also shocked, this time he and Zhu's father went to the town together. It's just that the eldest uncle on the side has a little dodgy eyes.
"I went to the town with the second brother, only to sell the rabbit skin for money, I didn't go far and was surrounded by five or six people, those people asked the second brother if his name was Zhu Shouyi, the second brother said yes and asked them what they were going to do, they asked the second brother to pay back, saying that the second brother borrowed 10 taels of silver more than a month ago, and now the profit has become 15 taels of silver. The second brother was blindsided at that time, and he didn't borrow money."
The man took out the IOU that the second brother had typed himself, said that he didn't want to deny it in black and white, and robbed us of more than 100 yuan for selling rabbit skins, and then started beating people without saying anything. Said that this time it was just light, and the leg was kept first, and if you couldn't get the money after three days, you would really break the leg."
When the fourth uncle talked about the things in the town, he was still afraid, that is, he was also kicked twice.
"Second brother, what are you borrowing money for? What's bad going on out there? Grandfather was so angry that he was about to faint, and stood in front of Father Zhu with a thick stick, blew his beard, glared and asked loudly.
"Dad, why would my family borrow money!" Mother Chen cried and protected Zhu's father.
"No, Dad, I don't have any money, what do I borrow money for. Besides, my son can't read a single word, how can he write an IOU! β
Father Zhu looked aggrieved and bitter. I was beaten for some reason, and when I got home, I had to be suspected, and I couldn't do it in my heart.
"It's definitely not my dad who borrowed it!" Zhu Ping'an said loudly with red eyes.
"But the IOU has your father's name on it, and it's handprinted." The little fourth aunt on the side also felt a little incredulous.
"My dad can't write!" Zhu Ping'an retorted angrily, and his chubby face turned red.
Things seem to have entered a dead end, although the general seal money is usury, but these people will not fabricate a person's name to ask for money, and the county officials are not fools, they go to sue the officials for not having their good fruits to eat, they are all willing to release money only after watching people write on the spot and press their handprints, and they will not be deducted to a person for no reason.
So how did this usury come about?
