Chapter 3 The Song Family's Father and Son
In the case of the Song family's visit to collect debts, it can reflect the ideological generation gap between Zhou Chong, the soul from the 21st century, and the Ming Dynasty people in the 16th century.
Whether it is in later generations or in ancient China, it is a humane society, but in later generations, with the emancipation of the mind, the human touch has become much lighter, for example, between relatives, it is also very common to ask for debts, as long as the person who asks for debts is not noisy and tearing his face, then the relationship between the two families will not be affected.
But in the Ming Dynasty, the debt relationship between relatives is mixed with more human affection, generally the debtor party, will take the initiative to return the money to the other party, if there is really no money to repay, will also say hello to the other party first, try to get more time. And if the creditor is in urgent need, he will not go to the door to ask his relatives for it, but entrust an acquaintance of both parties to mediate between them, so that even if he can't ask for it, it will not hurt the relationship between the two families.
The Song family and Zhou Chong's sister have been engaged, and they are considered to be children's relatives, which is already a very close relationship, but now the Song family actually came to the door to ask for debts, which is no different from directly tearing their faces, and being able to do such a thing also shows that the Song family doesn't care about this family business at all, or the Song family has repented of this family business, but they just want to force the Zhou family to divorce them by going to the door to ask for debts.
Zhou Zhong worked in the society early in later generations because of the early death of his parents, and he could be regarded as having experienced the warmth and coldness of the society, but he didn't expect that asking for a debt in the Ming Dynasty would involve so many things. It wasn't until Steward Xu explained to him for a long time that Zhou Zhong understood.
"Phew!" Zhou Zhong slammed the table and stood up, and the smile on his face disappeared, turning into a face full of cruelty. This is the first time he has felt the anger of separation since he crossed over, and he was even more angry than in his previous life, when he saw the boss who discriminated against him and molested a female colleague, because this time the other party provoked his relatives around him, and it was his sister, which made him as an elder brother unbearable no matter what.
"Young master is angry, the Song family is originally a group of powerful villains, I heard that during this period of time, the second young master of the Song family and the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Huating County have been fighting hotly, they tore their faces this time to ask for debts, it is estimated that they are likely to force us to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and then marry the woman who can bring them a lot of business!" Steward Xu was well-informed, and immediately told his analysis.
"Everyone else has bullied us, how can you let me be angry?" I saw Zhou Chong snorting angrily, and there was a cold light in his eyes that made people palpitate.
In his previous life, Zhou Chong's temper was more short-tempered, otherwise he wouldn't have beaten his boss at work. Although after crossing over, he understood the preciousness of life, and his attitude towards life became very optimistic, but this does not mean that he has no temper, in fact, on the contrary, in his previous life, after becoming a gray person, Zhou Zhong was exposed to the dark side of many societies, which made his character also affected somewhat, so when he really hates someone, then the other party really has to be careful.
"Chong'er, now that our Zhou family has been defeated, and the whole family still depends on you to support it, so don't be impulsive, the Song family will withdraw if they want to withdraw from the marriage, and wait until Chong'er is admitted to the examination in the future, and there is a chance for them to regret it!" Aunt Wang was startled when she heard Zhou Chong's words, and hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade, but when she said the last sentence, this honest woman also showed a little hatred.
"Yes, what Aunt Wang said makes sense, young master, you have a bright future, there is really no need to be as knowledgeable as the people of the Song family!" Steward Xu also persuaded on the side, he was old in human accidents, and he knew that with the current situation of the Zhou family, it was not appropriate to provoke the Song family again.
Zhou Chong is no longer the nerd he was before, so he naturally understands the current situation, and now the Zhou family has a problem even eating, and he is not qualified to fight with the Song family at all. However, Zhou Zhong has already recorded this Song family in his heart, and today the Song family gave him the insult of the Zhou family, and he will return it a hundred times in the future!
"Okay, you don't need to persuade anymore, I understand all this, for the sake of our family, I won't be impulsive." Zhou Zhong took a deep breath and said very calmly, "Steward Xu, you lead the way in front, come with me to meet the Song family's father and son!" ”
"Hmm!" Steward Xu agreed, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, and the two of them came to the front hall of the Zhou Mansion one after the other.
As soon as he entered the front hall, Zhou Zhong saw a middle-aged man in his forties and a teenager standing in the hall. As for the young man, he was white and thin, and his facial features were also very upright, but his eyes were more white and less black, and his eyes were raised when he looked at people, as if he was very arrogant.
No need to ask, the two people standing inside must be Master Song and the second young master of the Song family, the reason why they are standing instead of sitting is because the tables and chairs in the hall have been sold to pay off their debts, and the entire hall is empty, and there is no place to sit at all.
I saw that when Zhou Chong walked into the hall, a warm smile immediately appeared on his originally calm face, as if he had seen a respected elder, and he stepped forward to bow to Master Song and said: "Uncle Song Shi is visiting, and the little nephew has missed the distance, which is really rude and rude!" ”
Seeing his young master's face-changing stunt, Steward Xu was also stunned, he really didn't expect that this young master who was watched by himself would have this kind of city, and he was still scolding the Song family before, and he could greet each other so affectionately in the blink of an eye, this is simply the young master of the Zhou family who can only read in his impression is completely different, is it because of the reason that the family is in the middle of the road, so that his young master suddenly stole it?
Master Song was also stunned when he saw Zhou Chong's enthusiastic appearance, he used to come to Zhou Mansion often, and he had seen Zhou Chong a lot of times, but in his impression, Zhou Chong was just a nerd, where would he know what kind of human accidents? However, although Master Song was surprised, he didn't show it too much, and he also said very enthusiastically: "The nephew doesn't need to be polite, the old man heard that Brother Zhou was unfortunately killed, and he was really sad in his heart, and I also hope that the nephew will mourn you!" ”
"Thank you Uncle Song for your concern, I don't know if my uncle is here today, but what's the matter?" Zhou Zhong asked knowingly. When he was on the way to the hall just now, he had already thought clearly, with the Song family's affectionate attitude, even if the other party did not retreat, he would not marry the bracelet, but now since the other party took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, then the initiative is in his hands, and the Song family must pay a little interest in advance for today's matter.
Hearing Zhou Chong's question, the black and fat Master Song glanced at Steward Xu next to him meaningfully, he had already expressed his intention to Steward Xu before, he didn't believe that Zhou Chong would not know their intentions. However, since Zhou Zhong asked knowingly, he couldn't help but answer, so he suddenly grinned and said: "Zhou Shi's nephew doesn't know, it's approaching the New Year's end recently, and the guys are waiting to get their wages home for the New Year. ”
Master Song is worthy of being an old businessman, and he wants to start the account with a straight knife, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he is not embarrassed at all because the two parties are sons and daughters. Steward Xu next to him scolded in his heart, although the business of the Song family was not as good as the previous Zhou family, but it was also counted in Songjiang Mansion, and now he even said that there was no money to pay the guys, and even ghosts would not believe this kind of words.
However, after Zhou Zhong heard this, he showed an expression of belief, and sighed again and again: "I thought that Uncle Song's family had a big business, but I didn't expect that it also had its own difficulties, it seems that the old saying is good, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain!" ”
Master Song and his son were stunned when they heard this, and they were wondering in their minds what was the old saying that 'the landlord's family has no surplus grain'? However, Zhou Chong didn't give them time to think at all, and then said: "Since Uncle Shi has already spoken, then the debt that our Zhou family owes to Uncle Song Shi will naturally have to be returned." ”
Hearing that Zhou Zhong was willing to repay the money, Master Song's eyes immediately lit up, but before he could say anything, Zhou Chong spoke again: "It's just that you have also seen the situation here Uncle Shi, but you didn't even have a place to sit when you came, so the little nephew is really shy now, can you ask Uncle Shi for a few more days?" ”
When Zhou Chong said the above words, he showed a very ashamed expression on his face, as if he really felt guilty because he couldn't pay back the money.
Master Song was very happy when he heard that Zhou Chong was willing to repay the money just now, but he didn't expect Zhou Chong to give himself such a divine turn immediately afterward, which made him angry and hateful. However, the purpose of his coming today is not just to ask for money, but to have another more important purpose, before achieving this purpose, it is really not appropriate to tear his face with Zhou Chong, but the second young master Song behind him, with an impatient look on his face, several times he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Master Song.
Regarding the performance of Song's father and son, Zhou Chong pretended not to see it. At this time, Master Song forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and a kind smile appeared on his black and fat face again: "Zhou Xian's nephew said that the debt of two hundred taels is nothing to the Zhou Mansion, but for a small business like our Song family, it is really life-saving money!" ”
Hearing that this Song Hei fat man was still crying poor to himself, Zhou Zhong sneered in his heart, but his face was even more pitiful, as if he was really a desperate bankrupt son who was forced by the creditor, and kept saying good things to Master Song, asking him to forgive him a few more days, but unfortunately he was resolutely rejected by Master Song.
After the last sorrow, Master Song probably felt that the heat was enough, so he stopped the topic of asking for debts, turned his face pale, and finally showed his fox tail and said: "Nephew Zhou Xian, since you don't care about the friendship between the two families so much, and you refuse to repay the debt, then the old man has nothing to say, the daughter of your Zhou family, our Song family can't afford it, I think it's just the matter of our two families!" ”
