It is said that the daughter-in-law of the Chen family has not seen any movement between the two families since she told Cao Er about the Liu family's fortune last time, but she has not seen any movement between the two families for several days.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family was about to go to the river to wash clothes, but she heard Sister Zheng chirping, "Oh, have you heard?" The Liu family was robbed last night, and the second child of his family greeted everyone around the village to be careful. ”

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was overjoyed, this Cao Er was not so incompetent, so she quickly pretended to be concerned and asked, "Oh my God, there is such a thing, do you know what his house was stolen?" ”

Sister Zheng was originally hearsay, and when she saw that Sister Zheng couldn't tell the details, she went back to the house and put down her clothes and went straight to Liu's house.

When I arrived at Liu's house, I saw Aunt Wu and Liu Chen cutting cloth in the yard, it turned out that Liu Ximing saw that he was not at home, and thought that he had just been scared of the thief and his mother today, so he simply invited Aunt Wu to come and accompany him.

Now Aunt Wu's Li Biao follows Liu Xi's life to do things, and he can have twelve taels of silver a year, which is already more than an adult, and Aunt Wu's burden is much smaller all of a sudden, and she doesn't have to find work every day.

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family said to Liu Chen with a smirk: "Oh, I heard that your family was robbed, I hurried over, your family is really unlucky, but it's okay if people are fine, you can still make money if you lose it!" ”

Liu Chen didn't want to deal with her, but it was not good to ignore her when he took the initiative to visit, so he could only smile: "It's bad luck, but it's okay, I didn't lose anything at home!" ”

Aunt Wu also accosted on the side: "During this time, everyone wants to be small, it's almost the New Year, and those who are used to stealing chickens and dogs in the township have come out, everyone should watch the door!" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was surprised when she heard Liu Chen say that she hadn't lost anything, and hurried to Cao Er's house after a few perfunctory greetings.

When she arrived at the door of Cao Er's house, she packed up her clothes, stood on the road and said to Cao Er with a smile: "Oh, the Liu family was a bad thief last night, and I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, Cao Er, do you know?" ”

Cao Er smiled and continued: "Then who knows, it's almost the New Year, and the thieves in Qili and Eight Villages have to find money for the New Year!" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family saw that he didn't say anything or ask deeply, but only said: "That's true, but this thief is also unlucky, he didn't even steal the hair after a busy night, I think either this thief's work is not good, or the Liu family doesn't make any money!" ”

"Hehe, this thief, I don't know if the work is profitable, but this Liu family thinks that they have made money, I passed by his yard a few days ago, and I saw them counting the money, at least a few thousand Wen! Besides, the third and fourth members of their family are wearing new clothes, and they have no money? How can I buy this muslin without money! Cao Er snorted.

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was shocked when she heard him say this, and after a few words, she walked towards the end of the village.

Zhang Yucheng is in a very good mood these days, and the New Year is coming soon, and I hope next year will be a good year!

He lay on the rocking chair in the yard and carefully calculated, this year, God still counts his face, more than 300 acres of land at home, after removing the rent of those poor ghosts and the taxes in the county, he can almost collect 300 stone of grain, and when he sells it when there is a shortage of grain in the spring, he will get three or four hundred taels of silver, and his heart is happy!

In the past few months, his son Zhang Mingde has not made any trouble in the ethnology, which makes him very worry-free.

Oh yes, in a few days, I should go to Liu's house to ask for debts, and then I will get another five acres of land.

Well, Liu Shanqi's poor daughter-in-law is very pretty, although she is a widow and a little older, but she is quite tasteful, she has been staring at it for a long time, this time I took the opportunity to see if I could solve it together, as for those little cubs, hehehe!

Especially the second child of the Liu family, he dared to use a knife against this old man last time, this time see how I clean you up!

He suddenly thought of the rumors that had appeared in the village in the past few days, saying that the Liu family didn't know how to make money, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Zhang Da! Zhang Da! Hurry up and get here. Zhang Yucheng looked at it and called Zhang Da over.

"Zhang Da, recently there are rumors in the village that the second child of the Liu family has made money by trading, have you ever heard of this?"

"Master, there is such a thing, and the little one is going to keep an eye on it!" Zhang Da said with a smile.

"Oh? You've done a good job, I'll reward you when I go back for the New Year! Is there any news to be watched? Zhang Yucheng heard that Zhang Da had already seen it, and asked happily.

"Back to my lord, the second child of the Liu family was bumped into by me last time he went to Fucheng with that Li Biao, but I think they just went to Fucheng to sell vegetables, which can make a few bucks!"

Zhang Yucheng thinks about it, it's not that no one in this village goes to sell vegetables in Fucheng, but generally it is to earn pocket money to subsidize the family, but his family owes him fifteen taels of silver, so how long does it take to sell it to earn it back.

Hehe, the little cub thinks about beauty, and there will be a time for you to cry in a few days!

Zhang Yucheng thought about it again, felt that he still had to be on guard, and said to Zhang Da: "That's it, you still keep an eye on his family during this time, just for a few days, don't make this old man fly eggs again!" ”

Zhang Da was instructed to inquire about the news of the Liu family in the village for the past few days, but Liu Ximing did a good job of keeping secrets, and he didn't get any useful news when he inquired about it.

On this day, he was wandering around the village when he happened to see the daughter-in-law of the Chen family walking towards the Zhang family's compound. When the daughter-in-law of the Chen family saw him, she immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this Steward Zhang, come out for a walk." ”

Zhang Da snorted and said proudly: "It's okay to come out for a walk." ”

The daughter-in-law of the Chen family said flatteringly: "I heard that the Liu family at the head of the village owes Master Zhang a lot of silver? The slave family is here to say hello to the master, this Liu family has made a lot of money recently, presumably they will be able to pay it back in a few days! ”

Zhang Da's heart moved, and he pretended to ask casually: "Where did you get this news, master, I saw it myself, this is all a lie!" ”

"The news of the slave family has always been well-informed, this is not a false rumor, it was seen by Cao Er in the village with his own eyes, he said that he also saw their family take a lot of money there for miles! Didn't Steward Zhang notice that the third and fourth members of his family have been wearing new clothes recently? The daughter-in-law of the Chen family covered her mouth and snickered.

Zhang Da's heart suddenly changed when he heard what she said, and he couldn't take care of the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, so he turned his head and ran towards Zhang's house.

"Master, master, something is wrong!" Zhang Daran out of breath, and shouted when he saw Zhang Yucheng.

"What a howl! What's wrong with it? Zhang Yucheng didn't have a good airway, he was just thinking about the little lady in the city, and he was interrupted by this dog again!

"Just now, just now, I met the daughter-in-law of the Chen family in the village, she said that the Liu family really made money, and Cao Er in the village also saw their family counting the money, and even the third and fourth children of their family have changed into new clothes!" Zhang Da's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Bang Dang! Zhang Yucheng's hand that stretched out to the teacup on the table next to him trembled, and the cup fell to the ground all of a sudden, "Really? ”

Seeing Zhang Da's difficult nod, Zhang Yucheng's face changed, and he slapped Zhang Da in the face, and scolded: "You dog, who told the master a few days ago that I was okay, bastard, mistaken about me!" What are you doing in a daze, go and call a few strong men, and now go to Liu's house to collect debts! ”

Zhang Da's eyes were full of gold stars when he was beaten, his mind was dizzy, and when he heard Zhang Yucheng say this, he asked stupidly: "Go today?" Didn't the master promise his family a month? It's a few days away......"

Zhang Yucheng slapped him again: "Idiot, don't you go now, will you go after his family has saved up all the money in a few days?" Master Ben's money, when is it still not my final say! ”

Zhang Da hurriedly ran out to call someone.

When Zhang Yucheng found all the people and rushed to Liu Ximing's house, Liu Ximing and Li Biao had just come back from the city, and just put down the back basket, they saw Zhang Yucheng rushing in with four or five strong men.

Liu Ximing's eyes were surprised, he didn't know what this old ghost was doing, and when he saw Liu Chen and Aunt Wu also running out of the house, he didn't bother to be polite, and said directly to Zhang Yucheng: "What are you doing here?" Also, what do these people do? ”

Zhang Yucheng changed the smile he had last time, and said, "It just so happens that you are all here, and the fifteen taels of silver you owed me before have been repaid today!" ”

It's too much of a deception!

Liu Ximing's heart was on fire, and he said angrily: "You have a bag in your head!" Last time, I said that I would pay it back in a month, but now I still have ten days! What kind of money are you going to pay back! ”

Liu Ximing has made a lot of money in the past few days, and it is said that he has the bottom in his heart, so he would not be so angry, but he thought that this Zhang Yucheng had repeatedly reversed himself, if he didn't show toughness, I was afraid that he didn't know what else he would do, on the other hand, he also thought that if he didn't have space to help, he was afraid that he would be forced to go to Liangshan today, and he was even more angry in his heart, and he had a deeper understanding of the feudal landlords of this era!

Zhang Yucheng listened to Liu Ximing's inexplicable words, although he felt weird, but he also knew that he was scolding him, but he didn't care, anyway, their family was pinched in his own hands, and when the time came, Ren Pinched Ren was not up to himself, or said with a smile: "I said that it would take a month, but it's not about the New Year, and my family has no money left, besides, what's the difference between it now and ten days later!" ”

Everyone in the Liu family and Aunt Wu's family were angry, and Liu Ximing sneered: "Master Zhang, this is going to break his promise and get fat, in this way, if you spit and lick it back, I will pay you back today!" ”

Zhang Yucheng smiled and said: "I have always been convinced by virtue, if you don't have the land to pay off the debt, I said it last time!" ”

Seeing that Liu Ximing still wanted to fight back, he immediately said viciously: "Okay, okay, this matter is decided today, why don't you choose it yourself!" ”

Zhang Da took a step forward with a few strong men behind him, and slammed the stick in his hand to the ground.

cnmd, Liu Ximing looked at himself and Li Biao, knowing that he couldn't beat them, but he was not angry about being so soft, he looked around and said to Aunt Wu: "Aunt Wu, please go and tell everyone else in the village to come, let everyone be a witness!" ”

Aunt Wu hurriedly agreed, and Zhang Da wanted to stop her, but she heard Li Biao roar, "You move my mother to try!" ”

Zhang Yucheng sneered in his heart, what could the whole village do if the mud legs came, so he waved his hand to Zhang Da and asked him to let him go, and the courtyard became quiet.
