The shopkeeper Pan was flustered, and said with a straight face: "No, no, the virtuous nephew thinks too much." The reason why I lent money to your uncle, and the reason why I only counted him as a profit, is purely a friendship, a friendship of decades! ”

"Shopkeeper Pan, how many years has my uncle built this yard, and how many years have you been neighbors with him? He is usually on duty in the yamen, and he can't come back a few times a year. In my opinion, your friendship with my uncle is not that deep, and it is not worth so much silver. ”

"The more the virtuous nephew talks, the farther he goes."

"I didn't say far," Han Xiufeng pointed to the note in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you guess correctly, my uncle should have promised you when he borrowed the silver, and when he has a firm foothold in the Bishan County Ya, he will ask the Bishan Zhengtang to deposit the silver and miscellaneous taxes he usually collects into your Tongxing to make profits." Whether you open a pawnshop or a bank, this is a big profit, Pan shopkeeper, do you say yes or no? ”

It is said that the officials are as smooth as oil, and the shopkeeper Pan is considered to have understood, and secretly scolded the little fox, and said with a stupid smile: "At that time, your uncle did play this guarantee, but who would take it seriously?" Virtuous nephew, believe it or not, I lent you money to my uncle out of friendship. ”

"Shopkeeper Pan, no, Uncle Pan, since you and I have such a deep friendship, then you might as well do good things to the end, give us a few years, and let us slowly save money and pay it back."

The little fox, like a fake, actually climbed up the pole!

Shopkeeper Pan had expected that the Han family would not be able to take out so much silver for a while, and he had never thought that he would be a prostitute, not that he hadn't thought about it, but that the girl who was a little bit of a girl was not only not a little beautiful but also stupid, and no one wanted to sell her as a maid, so it was not worth a few silver at all. How to collect this account, he had already planned before he came, pretended to ponder for a moment, and muttered: "The virtuous nephew has said everything about this, and I am really sorry for the friendship between our two families if I don't forgive it." ”

"So Uncle Pan agrees to grace?" Han Xiufeng asked.

"It's okay to have a grace period, but who will pay the money in the future?"

"Didn't you just say that I will help my aunt and sister pay it back."

"Virtuous nephew upright! Virtuous nephew is bright! is worthy of the Han family's Qianli Horse, with your words, Brother Yucai's spirit in the sky is enough to comfort. Shopkeeper Pan first gave a thumbs up, and then bowed his hand to the hall where Han Yucai's spiritual position was enshrined, and then changed his words: "Since the virtuous nephew is willing to help Brother Yucai pay it back, we might as well do this, this courtyard and the dozen acres of land in the countryside will be discounted to a part of it first, and you will pay back the rest slowly, we will ask the Chinese people to witness and re-establish a note." ”

If you want to collect the yard and the land, what kind of grace is this!

How could Han Xiufeng not know the sinister intention of Shopkeeper Pan to re-establish the IOU, and said lightly: "Uncle Pan, isn't this just a note, why bother so much?" ”

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll let Changsheng invite you."

It is very excessive to collect the yard and land, but can the living still hold their urine? Without this yard and the dozen acres of land in the countryside, the Han family gritted their teeth and could live the same life, but they had to endure a little hardship.

In short, the pillar felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe that the shopkeeper Pan would be so good at talking, and secretly thought that everyone had agreed to the grace, so he would accept it as soon as he saw it, and he was afraid of any trouble. Guan Zhutou also felt that he should accept it when he saw it, and was about to speak, but Han Xiufeng actually grabbed the second child of the Pan family who was going to invite the middleman.

"Brother Pan, don't worry." Han Xiufeng pulled Pan Changsheng back, looked at him with a smile and said, "Uncle Pan, are you planning to make a new note and add my name to the note?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, you are here to pay back this money anyway, why not add your name, is it possible that you don't want to help your aunt and sister repay the money?" Shopkeeper Pan asked as he stared at him.

"To be a man with a conscience, if it weren't for my uncle, there would be me Han Si today, and even my father and my three brothers wouldn't be able to live such a good life today. Now that my uncle's family is in trouble, how can I, Han Si, care. Han Xiufeng paused, and then said: "But if my name is added to the note, it will not only be my aunt, my sister, and my Han Si. ”

"What do you mean?" Guan Zhutou asked puzzled.

"Uncle Guan, Shopkeeper Pan is really good at trading. As the saying goes, the father pays off the debt, but in fact, there is a saying that the son pays the debt to the father! If I sign the note, but I can't pay it back when it expires, then the shopkeeper Pan can take the note to my father, my father will definitely not be able to take out so much silver, and then the shopkeeper Pan can say that the father and son repay the debt, and find my three honest brothers. ”

Han Xiufeng looked at the Pan family's father and son coldly, and then said: "My uncle has no children under his knees, and this one is considered to be the incense. My long house and long branch are different, and there are four brothers in my life, and the people are thriving. As long as someone is there, the money borrowed by the shopkeeper Pan will be recovered sooner or later, and my Han family will have to make cattle and horses for the Pan family for the next few generations! ”

was told bluntly, the second child of the Pan family was annoyed and angry, glared at Han Xiufeng angrily and said: "Han Si, it is natural to repay the debt, it is justified that you owe me the money you owe me Tongxingdang!" ”

"Brother Pan, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. My father and my uncle have already separated from each other, it is my uncle Han Yucai who owes your family silver, not me Han Si, and even more so not my father owes your family silver! ”

"Han Si, you keep saying that without your uncle, there would be no you today, what do you say is to be a man with your conscience, and now you are saying that your uncle borrowed the silver, not you Han Si borrowed it, isn't this saying one thing and doing another? I don't know about other people's affairs, I know your family's affairs clearly, your uncle's more than ten acres of land in the countryside have not been rented to others, your father and your three brothers have always planted, and there is nothing to pay rent, every year I will send more than a dozen loads of rice to your uncle's family, all in the light of your uncle's family, enjoy the blessings of your uncle's family! Now your uncle's family will leave it alone when it encounters difficulties, isn't it that the six relatives don't recognize it, and the conscience of your long house and chief branch has been eaten by dogs! ”

"Brother Pan, you say I have no conscience, where is your conscience?"

"Why don't I have a conscience?"

Han Xiufeng took the case and said-for-tat: "The two thousand taels of silver in your family are actually one thousand eight hundred taels, because there are two hundred taels of beheading." It's not so much that it was lent to my uncle, but that it was the capital to pool money with my uncle to give the candidate magistrate to take office, and then make money together and make a fortune together. As a result, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, the county lord had a thin life, and he died of illness within a few days of taking office. ”

"What's going to be unlucky, let's be unlucky together, open your eyes and see, the note is here, borrowing is borrowing, it is written clearly in black and white, you are a strong word!"

"Don't worry, listen to me. You said that your family has a conscience, and you also know that my father and my three brothers survive by planting the dozen acres of land in my uncle's countryside, and you still have to collect the ten acres of land in this yard and the countryside, don't you want my aunt and my sister to live on the streets, and want to force my father and my three brothers to a dead end? ”
