Chapter 1 Landlords Forced Debts
Everyone's life is like a game, some people speed up the game, some people cheat, some people enjoy the joy of the game, and some people suddenly terminate the game.
To be alive is to enjoy every moment!
"Brother Tian, Wang Datou from the next village has gone to Widow Li's house in the east of the village again!"
By the river, a sinknosed child dressed in a sack can tell the bare-chested boy lying on the big bluestone what he had just seen.
"It's definitely going to collect debts! This god-killing king Datou did something that lost his conscience. The bare-chested boy picked up his clothes that were drying on the stones and said, "Little Nose, go, go and see." ”
"Don't call me a little sloppy nose anymore, I have a name, called Guo Dazhi. My mother said that I will grow a high nose! ”
The two teenagers laughed and ran to the east end of the village.
The bare-shouldered boy is named Guo Tian, four years old this year, the only son of Guo Yu's family in the north of the village, and he will come to the river with Xiaobi to herd cattle every day.
Guojia Village is in the hinterland of Yishan, and there are 35 households in a small mountain village. At that time, a family of four moved into the mountains to escape the Anshi Rebellion, and later the small mountain village continued to grow, until now there are 35 families.
In the late Tang Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters caused the land of China to be dilapidated, and Li Tang, a luxury giant ship that had been running for many years, was already empty of skeletons and rusty, and there was a possibility of capsizing and leaking at any time.
Yishan is beautiful, with lush trees and dense rivers, which is very different from the outside of the mountain. Yishan is a paradise in the Tang Dynasty.
The people living in Yishan are simple and safe, but the good life is broken by conscription.
The Huangchao rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty brought a crisis to the peaceful Yishan, and the young and middle-aged people in the village were taken away in large numbers, leaving the lonely elderly, women and children to take care of their homes.
In front of Li Sun's house, a group of men, women and children gathered to watch. Inside, a middle-aged man, dressed in a miserable green robe, with a pair of black suede platform shoes on his feet, and the sparse hair on his big head tied up with an ivory hairpin, was talking to the woman opposite.
"Li Sun's, it's not that I'm a king who is difficult for you, they are all villagers in the township, and the money you owe should be repaid, even the principal with interest is only 9 taels and 6 hundred yuan, not much."
"Why is it only half a year to 9 taels, you are blackmailing, I don't admit it."
The woman is Li Sun, a native of Wuyuan, Kuiwu County, who came to Yishan County with her family to avoid war in her early years, and later married to Guojia Village. The husband was drafted into the army a few years ago and later died on the battlefield, and only one pair of shoes was sent to him for the funeral. Therefore, behind her back, everyone called her Widow Li.
Due to the constraints of the etiquette law, he has been alone with his young son in Guojia Village for the past few years. Thanks to the smooth wind and rain in Yishan, Li Sun and his son have barely survived in recent years.
Half a year ago, a number of wild wolves ran to the vicinity of Guojia Village to forage for food, Li Sun's son played too late, came home at night and was frightened, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and the poor family had no money to get medicine for his son.
Li Sun heard that the landlord of Wang's village next door could borrow money, but the interest rate was too high. Li Sun, who really had no choice, had to borrow 2 taels of silver from Wang Ren to give the child medicine and treat the disease, and agreed on a monthly interest of 1 cent.
Wang Ren coveted Li Sun's young and beautiful, his figure was like a thin willow, looking at Ying Ying's grasp, his figure was convex and backward and he was the best among the people around him, and he was a widow, so he came up with a way to use his hands and feet on the IOU, and forced Li Sun's to submit to his obscenity half a year later.
"Li Sun's family, written clearly and clearly in black and white, Guojia Village Li Sun's today borrowed 2 taels of silver from Wang Ren of Wangjia Village, with a monthly interest of 3 cents, and it will be returned within half a year."
Wang Ren held the IOU in his hand and shouted loudly: "There is still your handprint on it, you still want to cheat, I can take you to see the official." ”
"No, it's clear that it's good to have a monthly interest of 1 point, why is it 3 points! I don't have that much money, just three or two halves. ”
These three halves are still the last half of Li Sun's hard work in weaving cloth and farming, plus selling the calves under the cows at home.
Wang Ren looked at the silver coin handed over by Li Sun in his hand and said, "That's not enough, it's still 6 taels." ”
Li Sun's eyes were bloodshot and looked at Wang Datou and said: "It's three taels and a half, where did I get 9 taels, I don't have any more, I don't have any money." ”
"If you don't have money, I'll take you to the official and sue you for not paying your debts." Wang Ren stared at Li Sun's viciously persecution of her.
When Li Sun heard that he was going to be dragged to see the official, he instantly collapsed to the ground, and his youngest son knelt next to him and cried and shouted: "Mother...... What's wrong with you, mother......"
Although the Tang Dynasty was open, women were pulled into the official mansion, which was a matter of immorality and virginity, and loyal women had no face to live.
Thinking of his underage children and his pitiful background, Li Sun fell on the ground sadly and cried.
This scene was heart-wrenching and pitiful to the people present, but no one stood up for her, and the world was declining.
Wang Ren looked around, and all he saw was the expressions of the people in Guojia Village who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. On the contrary, he did not have the slightest worry, feeling like a victorious general, holding his head high and accepting the "adored" eyes of others. He enjoyed the feeling of being able to defy all things and was subordinate, and a sense of satisfaction came over him.
"Li Sun, since you can't pay the money, then I'll think of a way for you, and you will go back with me?"
Wang Ren smiled proudly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he stared at Li Sun lying on the ground, as if lying on the ground was a white and tender lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"I still lack a maid in my backyard who pours tea and water, as long as you serve me well, then the rest of the money will be free, what do you think?"
Everyone in Guojia Village knows that Wang Ren is a well-known womanizer in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and there are five or six concubines in the family, the most recent one was married three months ago. If this Li Sun family goes to the Wang family, he will definitely fall into the mouth of the tiger.
"I'm not going, I'm not going to be killed."
In order not to be humiliated and not to be dragged into the official mansion, Li Sun suddenly got up from the ground and hit his head on the bolt pillar at the door. Blood immediately oozed from his forehead, and then Li Sun collapsed to the ground.
The people around were stunned by Li Sun's fierce actions, and they were stunned to look at everything that was happening in front of them. Li Liang, who saw his mother hitting the pillar, shouted: "Wang Ren, you forced my mother to death, and my mother came to ......" rushed to Wang Ren like crazy.
Li Liang's roar woke everyone up from their stupidity, and several women hurriedly ran over to help Li Sun's and found that they were still alive.
Wang Ren, who was bitten and beaten by Li Liang, looked at the "bad thing" in front of him and overthrew Li Liang in a fit of anger, worried that he might really cause trouble and cause trouble for himself, and said: "Damn, bad luck, let's go!" He turned around and led his little servant out of the crowd.
Li Liang got up and was about to rush up to find Wang Ren desperately, but was pulled by the people around him. Several women were on their hands
moved Li Sun's into the house and treated him.
In the crowd of onlookers at the door, an old man came out and said, "Let's disperse, don't look at it, let's disperse." ”
