A bunch of people crowded outside the gate of Wenjiabao, and in the middle of the day, there were more and more people coming and going, and more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. The people who arrived later learned about the situation from those who arrived first, and those who arrived first explained impatiently. The scene was very lively.

Zhang San's sentence "I have no money" made everyone in an uproar. Wen Yong, the youngest of the Wen brothers, was the first to laugh and said, "No money? If you don't have money, you dare to come and ask for land? Roll up your brother and go home......"

The eyes of the other brothers also became reverent when they looked at their brother, or the eldest brother was gentle and powerful, and he saw his weakness at a glance, and he took retreat as advance. If you continue to dwell on the validity of the contract, it may not be clear at this time.

Zhang San drooped his head and said, "I went to the Jieqiao to look for my brother's body, but I couldn't find it, and then I went to Yijing...... Finally, he was found in the wounded barracks. When he was pulled back, he lost his breath. Before he died, my brother was thinking about the land that his ancestors had handed down, and he said that I must redeem it. God is pitiful, the weather has been cold these days, and my brother's body has not rotted, this is also God helping me...... A few sons of the Wen family, this money is nothing in your eyes, please look at my brother's dying wish, return the field to us......"

As soon as he said a word, he wiped a handful of tears, and when he said the back, he burst into tears, helped down his body towards the Wen brothers, and made a big salute. Yuan Xi couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his body was in tatters, his fingers were black, and he had indeed suffered a lot along the way.

Wen Qian said: "Zhang San, it's not me who makes things difficult for you. If everyone asks me for land empty-handed like you, my Wen family's family business will be scattered. Now I am very gracious, as long as you scrape together enough money I gave to your brother, you will take back the fourteen acres of land. Even, I can erase the odds, you just need to give me a thousand dollars, and I will give you the field. What do you think? ”

"Benevolence, the boss of the Wen family is reasonable...... "The surrounding fragments remembered the voices of the onlookers.

Zhang San lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and muttered, "I pulled my brother back from Yijing, and I have exhausted my savings. Don't say it's a thousand dollars, even if it's a hundred dollars, I can't take it out. ”

Wen Yong said to his brother: "Don't continue to waste time with him, I spent here in the morning until now, but I have no money in two words, and I want to take the land back from us for nothing." How can there be such a good thing in the world......"

Wen Qian said: "Zhang San, since you don't have any money, then please go back." This field cannot be redeemed by you under any circumstances. Your brother has been dead for many days, hurry up to the ground for peace, if you have any difficulties, they are all fellow villagers, just open your mouth, if you can help, my Wen family will definitely help. ”

There was a cheer around, and someone shouted: "The Wen family is really benevolent and righteous, if I were Zhang San, I would definitely be grateful." How can you continue to entangle? ”

In the midst of the disturbance, I saw Zhang San kowtow to Wen Qian and said, "Son of the Wen family, do you think this will work?" I'll take the field back first, and I'll owe the thousand dollars first, and I'll pay you back slowly when the harvest comes next year." It was really my brother's advice before he died, and I really didn't dare to go against his will, otherwise I would have retreated. ”

As long as you have the field, you can pay more labor, you can have a harvest, and when you earn money, you can redeem the land. It is equivalent to using first and returning later. Although we don't know how this year's harvest will be, as long as you have the heart, you can always pay it off.

Yuan Xitou turned to the businessman surnamed Lin next to him and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Zhang San's proposal?" If you are a brother of the Wen family, do you agree? ”

The businessman surnamed Lin said: "It's not a good way, I can't see that this Zhang San is also quite quick." If I were the Wen family's master, I would have charged more than a thousand yuan. It is equivalent to lending him money to buy back his own land, and borrowing money will naturally charge some interest. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Brother Lin has a good heart......"

The merchant surnamed Lin gave him a strange look and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to say that I was greedy for small profits." Accustomed to doing business, others don't know, for us businessmen, the meat on the legs of these mosquitoes is the most fatal, money earns interest, small becomes big, and sometimes it is where the benefits lie. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Brother Lin's net worth should not be shallow, with this knowledge, it is difficult to make money or not." ”

The businessman surnamed Lin hurriedly said: "Where, where!" Running around all my life is just enough to feed and clothe myself. It's a pity that I, an unsuccessful son, have never been on the road, otherwise I wouldn't have to work hard at this age. ”

Next to him, his son accidentally lay down the gun, was counted down, and couldn't help but bow his head in shame.

They were talking here, and there was another discussion on the Wen brothers' side. The discussion between the brothers was also very intense. Wen Yong is young, he is the most excited, and the third in the middle, Wen Ping, is slightly fat, and he looks honest and hasn't spoken. And the fourth Wen Jian kicked the ball and ran the hardest, and at this time he kept shaking his head. In the end, Wen Qian said a word, and the brothers were all speechless.

Most of the onlookers on the side were also looking forward to seeing how this matter would end. For them, it's just a curiosity, and as for whether Zhang San can get the land back, they don't really care.

After the discussion, Wen Yong said to Zhang San: "If you have money, take it out on the spot, if you don't have money, take your brother away quickly." ”

These words made everyone present sigh. The Wen family behaved like this, although it was not good-looking, but there was nothing to blame, after all, this land deed was now in their hands, and the money for redemption had been reduced to a whole number of 1,000 yuan, and since they couldn't get the money, they had to give up.

Zhang San's prostrate body on the ground gradually cooled down and began to tremble slightly. He didn't do much in his life, and he also wanted to study literature when he was young, but his family didn't have the conditions, and he worked in the fields for half his life. The restless younger brother died tragically on the battlefield in order to get ahead, so he had to let him collect the body. Now that his younger brother is gone, his dying wish will never be fulfilled because of the words of the Wen brothers. He only felt that the soil under the ground was hard and cold, and the world on the ground was even weaker. People live in this world, the heavens cannot enter the earth, and the life has created a helplessness.

He couldn't vent the anger in his chest, thinking in his heart, he simply grabbed the ground with his head here and died, but suddenly heard someone next to him calling: "Zhang San, come here......"

He stiffened and looked up.

"Zhang San, come here......"

The voice was still there, but it wasn't that I heard it wrong. Zhang San tried hard to find the source of the voice, and the thought of seeking death in his chest gradually faded.

His eyes were blurred with tears, and he searched hard for a long time, only to realize that it was the young boy who had been squatting on the ground and watching them just now.

Yuan Xi was still squatting on the ground, beckoned to him again, and called, "Zhang San, come here, I have something to say to you." ”
