Liu Ximing's family and Zhang Yucheng were in a stalemate for a while, and then they saw that the old and young in the village came over one after another, and dozens of people surrounded the courtyard of the Liu family, and some people had worried looks on their faces, like the daughters-in-law of the Chen family.

Zhang Yucheng saw that the people were almost there, and said impatiently to Liu Ximing: "People are also here, how can you choose to say it yourself, I told you, the money will definitely be repaid!" ”

Liu Ximing looked around, looked at the various looks on people's faces, and wrote them down one by one in his heart, he also knew that most of the people in this village were tenants of the Zhang family, and it was impossible for them to stand up for their own family.

However, Liu Ximing did not have this plan, this Zhang Yucheng went back on his word again and again, Liu Ximing didn't believe what he said for a long time, and now he called the whole village over just for a witness, and when the time comes, he can't deny it anymore.

So, he saluted the surroundings and arched his hand: "Please invite the old and young folks to come today, not for anything else, a year ago, my family borrowed ten taels of silver from Zhang Yucheng's family, and agreed to make a profit of three cents for a year." Twenty days ago, Zhang Yucheng asked my family to repay the money in advance, and proposed to repay 15 taels, and if it could not be replaced, he would use my family's five acres of paddy fields to pay off the debt. At that time, I made an appointment with him to repay the money in a month, and if I didn't pay the fifteen taels, I would give him the family's land! ”

He took a breath and asked the villagers to digest what he had just said, and continued: "Now there are ten days left before a month, and Zhang Yucheng will come to ask for the account!" How did he not believe his words and did not mention it, now please be a witness, witness that I have returned the money, and if he dares to deny it in the future, he will have a personal witness! ”

Everyone immediately whispered, Zhang Yucheng's face changed when he heard him say this, he wouldn't really be able to pay it back!

Liu Ximing flashed into his side room, took out the two money boxes from the space, and beckoned Li Biao to carry the money boxes out together.

！！！？？？

In the crowd, Cao Er's eyes widened, where did he put the money?

Zhang Yucheng's face was like eating a fly, he stared at Zhang Da viciously, and slapped it one by one: "This is what you said about no money?" That's what you call no money? ”

Liu Ximing didn't care about Zhang Yucheng's full martial arts there, after carrying the box to the courtyard, he opened the lid to reveal the yellow, orange and orange copper coins inside, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yucheng and said, "Send a few people to get some money, and return my family's IOU!" ”

Zhang Yucheng's face was pale, and after beating Zhang Da, he was still angry, and yelled at Liu Ximing: "Impossible, impossible, you are a poor family, where did you suddenly come with fifteen taels of silver, did you say it was stolen?" ”

Liu Ximing's face remained unswerving, and he snorted: "You only went to steal it, besides, you have the ability to steal fifteen taels!" ”

He looked at the faces of the people around him again, and knew that if he didn't give an explanation, he was afraid that there would be more people who would be worried about him in the future, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Everyone knows that my ancestors have also been born to raise people's masters, and many people have seen me go to Fucheng to sell vegetables these days. ”

Most of the people in the village showed envious expressions when they heard his explanation, but they no longer doubted it, after all, the Liu family has always been a family of scholars, and it is certain that their ancestors have something to pass down!

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family didn't believe it in the crowd, but she saw it with her own eyes, Liu Ximing and Li Biao went to Fucheng to sell vegetables every day, I was afraid that there were thousands of catties, so they shrank in the crowd and said: "You go to Fucheng every day to sell vegetables, and I haven't seen your family grow so much!" Everyone immediately blew up again.

Liu Ximing heard this voice and knew that it was the daughter-in-law of the Chen family who was making trouble, so he had to say again: "Everyone thinks about it, we don't just sell vegetables when we go to Fucheng, there are mountain goods under the vegetables, these things are all over the mountains, and they are not worth a few dollars, just dig them yourself, if you don't believe it, you can ask Aunt Wu!" ”

Aunt Wu reacted immediately, and hurriedly waved at everyone: "This is true, my Li Biao follows it every day, so there can be a fake!" ”

The villagers whispered again.

Liu Ximing looked helpless, this is the way of thinking of rural people in the Meng Dynasty, a landlord like Zhang Yucheng has money, everyone thinks it should be, but people who are like themselves suddenly have money, everyone has to doubt, all kinds of envious, jealous, envious and hateful people have come out.

Of course, it doesn't mean that rural people are like this, after all, there are many people like Aunt Wu who are good-hearted. In the final analysis, it is still the strict sense of hierarchy and the psychology of comparison in this year.

After all, the Liu family has always been a family of scholars, and everyone is still a little in awe, and most of them can accept this explanation.

Even if Zhang Yucheng is angry again, it is not easy to say in front of so many people, I don't want your money, I want your land, I can only kick Zhang Da a few times and let him go up to count the money.

When Zhang Da and a few people came out with money worth fifteen taels of silver, Liu Ximing asked Li Biao to stop them, and looked at Zhang Yucheng playfully and said: "The money is all over, quickly take out the IOU, Master Zhang doesn't want to come and ask for money again, but I don't have so much money to send you away, hahaha!" ”

Zhang Yucheng's face was full of anger, and he unwillingly took out an IOU from his arms, threw it over hatefully, and said, "Don't think of borrowing money from Master Ben in the future!" ”

Liu Ximing bent down to pick up the IOU, asked Liu Chen to check it, and tore it up in front of everyone, while saying: "Please see clearly, my family and Zhang Yucheng are now clear", and sneered at Zhang Yucheng and said: "My family doesn't bother you, Master Zhang still cares more about other land-owned people in the village!" ”

Looking at the faces of several yeoman farmers in the surrounding crowd, he smiled, although it may not be useful, but it is good to bury a nail for Zhang Yucheng!

Zhang Yucheng also saw everyone's expressions, and he was even more angry in his heart, and slapped Zhang Da again: "Don't bring the money home yet!" After saying that, he turned his head unwillingly and left.

Everyone in the village also dispersed, and they usually had a good relationship and came over to congratulate Liu Chen.

There is no way that the ability of small farmers to resist risks is very poor in these years, God has changed his face slightly, and the peasants have to borrow debts everywhere, according to the borrowing methods of these landlords like Zhang Yucheng, even if the debt repayment period is reached, the peasants cannot afford to pay it back, and in the end they still do not sell their fields and land, sell their children and daughters, and the Liu family can pay off the debts in time It is already an ancestral accumulation.

To tell the truth, Liu Ximing is a little afraid, if this Zhang Yucheng is really in trouble a few days ago, although the five acres of land at home are not in his eyes, but after all, it is the foundation of their foothold in Zhangjiawan.

Although Liu Ximing has space to help, he can move directly to Fucheng, but now his family is an orphan and widow, and in the eyes of those people in Fucheng, he is a big piece of fat, and how much family business he saves will be picked by others, not to mention that Liu Ximing has already thought about gaining fame first and slowly developing his power, and it is also very important to be innocent.

Everyone in the Liu family cheered when they saw everyone leaving, and Liu Chen wanted to take the three brothers to the hall to kowtow to the gods and ancestors.

Finally solved, the shadow around his heart since the crossing dissipated, Liu Ximing stood in the courtyard and looked at the hazy moonlight, and suddenly felt relaxed, but he thought with some amusement in his heart, the main quest of the novice village, KO!
