"Shopkeeper Qiu, you are also too pressing, I just returned it two days ago, and you are here again today, is this still live?"

"The first two days are the interest in May, and today is the interest in June, Mrs. Yang, this is already November, and half of the capital will be repaid at the end of the year, can I not be in a hurry? And your old man's twenty coffin money! ”

"What!" The old woman's voice was weak, but surprisingly angry, "Isn't that twenty yuan your host's intention?" Now why is it backing up again, hum! Seeing my daughter lose power, she looks like a black-eyed chicken, and everything she says is a fart! ”

"What kind of words is this, an IOU written in black and white, and you don't have to pay it back? Are you the reincarnation of a bodhisattva when I am my host? ”

Shopkeeper Qiu was a tall black fat man, with a fierce face, fierce eyes, eyes that were about to burst out, and his face was even more hideous, and there were several strong men standing behind him, almost crowding the hut.

Yang's mother was half-lying on the earthen kang, her body was extremely thin, there were two sickly red balls on her cheeks, a little girl curled up beside her, trembling with fright, Yang Huahua was hugging her son and leaning beside her mother, her face was pale, her lips were almost bitten blood, and in the corner of the room was a young man squatting, who looked stocky and honest, his face was red, and his head was buried in his knees without saying a word, he was Yang Yuhuan's brother Yang Mo.

The four daughters of the Yang family have been married, only a sixteen-year-old son lives with his mother, there is a little maid at home, is an orphan, and lives with them, since Yang Yuhuan was degraded, the Yang family has cut off the source of income, and has to slowly sell the ancestral house Botian, Yang's mother is weak, and relies on medicine all the year round, the medicinal materials are expensive, and gradually a little savings in the hands are also spent, unfortunately this spring and there is a spleen and stomach disease, so I have no choice but to borrow usury, I want to pawn some jewelry to pay off the debt, but the usury rolls interest, and the money from the pawn is not enough to repay the interest.

Mother Yang was already haggard, and she couldn't speak, she pointed to the cupboard and said with difficulty: "I have nothing in this house, if you can see it, just take it." ”

The black fat man sneered, "Do you think I can't help it?" He pointed at Yang Mo in the corner of the wall and roared: "Take him away!" ”

Several big men rushed up, erecting Yang Mo left and right, Yang Mo struggled desperately, but he was still young, where could he break free, "Mother!" Mother! He was so anxious and frightened that he began to weep.

Mother Yang was shocked, and desperately struggled to get up and shouted: "Stop!" Are you not afraid of the king's law? ”

"Wang Fa! Debts to pay money, no money to be a slave, this is what Wang Fali wrote. ”

Mother Yang was almost crazy, "Please be tolerant for two more days, and I'll borrow money to pay it back." ”

"Borrow money?" The black fat man mocked: "If you can borrow money, will you ask us to borrow it?" He waved his hand, "Take it away!" ”

Yang Mo was held in the air by several big men, kicking and kicking indiscriminately, crying loudly.

"You can't take him away!" Yang Huahua stepped forward and grabbed her brother, refusing to let go, while her son hugged her leg and cried, and the house was in chaos.

At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard: "Please wait a minute, I will pay back their money." ”

Li Qing walked into the house, he arched his hand and said to the shopkeeper Qiu: "Brother, I will pay back the money they owe!" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu took a step back, looked Li Qing up and down, and saw that he was dressed elegantly, but he didn't dare to despise him, "Who are you from his family, why do you want to come out?" ”

"I give the money, you write off the account, in the future, everyone will go their own way, and the two don't owe each other, why should my brother ask more?"

He is an old brother on the left, an old brother on the right, and the shopkeeper Qiu's face softened a lot, and he nodded: "That's right!" ”

He waved his hand, "Let's put it first!" ”

Yang Mo got out, stumbled to his mother's side, held his mother's hand and refused to let go, Yang's mother wiped the tears and snot on his face with her sleeve, looked at him carefully for a moment, and suddenly hugged him to death, in a short moment, the mother and son seemed to have experienced life and death.

Her eyes were hazy with tears, and she didn't understand why this person came to save them, and Yang Huahua next to her only looked at Li Qing dementedly.

Shopkeeper Qiu took out a stack of lists and said: "This money is fifty-five times, plus the money, a total of eighty-two times, and an old account more than ten years ago is twenty times, the owner said that the profits are a little less, and even the book with profits is counted as forty times, this is a total of one hundred and twenty-two times, written clearly in black and white, and there are also Mrs. Yang's handprints, Mrs. Yang, I am right?" ”

Mother Yang nodded blankly, she also forgot how much she had borrowed, and as for how to calculate the interest, she was even more confused, but one thing she knew, if she didn't pay back the money, her son would be gone.

Li Qing didn't calculate carefully, and responded directly: "I can't take this more than 100 yuan of money with me, I will pay it back with silver, is this good?" ”

"That's fine!"

Li Qing took out a few silver taels from his skin bag and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper Qiu, "You are a profiteering, you should know the current silver price, the black price is higher than the official price, I let a little, you also let a little, a total of six yi, one hundred and twenty taels of silver, forget this account." ”

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at the logo engraved under the silver, and saw that it was official silver, and a trace of an ugly smile appeared on his black face: "Deal!" ”

He handed back the IOU to Li Qing, glanced at Yang's mother and said, "It is also your blessing to have such a relative, and this account is over!" "Let's take a group of people and leave.

Seeing the debtor walk away, Li Qing turned around with a smile, but found that the Yang sister and brother were kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly helped the two up, and smiled at Yang Huahua: "When do you want to kneel, if you want to thank me, go get two bowls of rice, I'm hungry." ”

Yang Huahua's face turned red, she responded urgently, and ran to the kitchen to cook, at this time, Yang's mother already knew Li Qing's origin, and struggled to sit up and thanked: "Li Gongzi saved my mother's life this time, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

She thought for a while, took out a jade pendant from her arms, and handed it to Li Qingdao: "This is something that my husband will never leave for the rest of his life, although it is not valuable, but I can't repay it, so I will give it to my son!" ”

Li Qing was willing to ask for it, took the jade pendant and put it back on the table, "Madame is reluctant to sell it when she arrives in this situation, it can be seen that its significance to Madame is extraordinary, give it to me, I am useless, and a hundred yuan is nothing to me, if I can't afford it, I won't come out." ”

Mother Yang saw that he didn't accept it, so she had to take it back, she sighed and said: "Gongzi Gaoyi, how can I not know, when you came out, you didn't know how much money you had to pay back, and I didn't thank you for your kindness, and I kept this kindness in my heart." She pushed her son, "Kowtow to Brother Li and remember En." ”

Yang Mo took two steps back, 'Plop!' He knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Brother, don't do this!" Li Qing pulled him up, but he was a little ashamed in his heart.

"Mother! I don't have enough rice at home, so I'm going to buy some rice. Yang Huahua appeared at the door, saying that she was going to buy rice, but the person didn't move, and looked directly at Li Qing, Li Qing suddenly realized that she must have no money on her.

He smiled, picked up Pei Hui who was crawling on him, and threw it into the air, causing him to laugh, and then handed him back to Mother Yang, "I'll help the third sister carry rice." ”

The two walked out of the door, Yang Huahua glanced at her, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I am looking for you?" ”

"You don't have a bag, and you don't have a pocket on your body, where do you put the money? Seeing that I, a rich man, I don't believe that you are willing to go to credit again. ”

"You damn fellow, can't you show some mercy on your lips?" She raised her fist and slapped him twice on the back, "Even if I have this idea, you can't say it, where will the face of the people go!" ”

Li Qing smiled and didn't say anything, but said secretly in his heart: "When you say 'round house', why don't you think about where to put your face." ”

Yang Huahua's face was flushed, her chest rose and fell slightly, she bit her lip and glanced at him again, and said in a low voice: "Then are you still staying at my house tonight?" ”

Li Qing was taken aback, what did this mean.

"That, that, I sleep a little bit of a bed, I don't adapt to your bed, I didn't sleep all night last night, I made me so unenergetic today, I plan to sleep with your brother tonight, and I won't go to your house."

He said it casually, but Yang Huahua thought he was referring to last night's incident, and her heart was weak for a while, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I want to invite Brother Li to come to my house at night to talk about opening an inn." ”

"You don't have to go to your house to talk about the inn, if you are blind there, just talk about it at your mother's house, and talk about it at lunch later, this matter also has something to do with your mother."

"What does the inn have to do with my mother?"

"This...., shopkeeper! Fifty pounds of rice. ”
