Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like an old friend Chapter 17: Erniang bargains

When Yunxiu arrived home, a group of people were gathered in the courtyard of her house.

Erniang was crying helplessly at the door of the hall, this matter could not save them in the village, to solve the problem, if the eldest sister was not taken away, there was only one way for their family to repay the money.

When Master Huang heard that he wanted to repay the money, he was a little unhappy at first, he was thinking about it at home every day for so many days, and he waited for Yun Dani's leg injury to heal, so he came to take her back.

In order to marry this little wife, Master Huang even made silver jewelry for women, and when the room was round, he took it out and hung it, shining not only to look pleasing to the eye, but also to fight a good reputation of generosity, and when he married a serious daughter-in-law in the future, he could also find a better look.

If the money is returned, won't his silver jewelry be in vain?

Master Huang looked at the group of village men behind Liu Laosan, if they want to take Yun Dani away from here today, they have to pass through the village, the village is full of his Liu Laosan's people, if they want to get out, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and Master Huang feels that he is a wronged dragon today.

After thinking about it again and again, he reluctantly spoke, but he didn't want to suffer, so he raised his hand and shook it: "I have Yun Dani's deed of sale ...... in my hand." ”

"Huh?!" The hoe in the village chief's hand was tightly shaken.

"It's not impossible to repay the money...... "Master Huang's words changed, and he changed his smile and said: "Even if it is for the sake of your Liu Laosan's face, I have to consider the matter of repaying the money."

Only then did everyone put down the farming tools in their hands.

Everything that can be discussed can be solved, but if it can't be solved, it is not too late to use force, and on the boundaries of their village, the right to speak is in their hands.

Yunxiu was young, Erniang's body was heavy, and the bargaining with Master Huang was handed over to the village chief.

The village chief's father used to be Langzhong of Youfang, and when he was alive, he taught the village chief to know the names of herbs, so the village chief is one of the few people in the village who knows a little bit of a word. The deed of sale in Master Huang's hand can't fool the village chief.

Master Huang asked for forty taels of silver when he opened his mouth, but the village chief didn't follow it.

"Forty taels of silver?! Are you a fool to us as a cropper? ”

This year, it was only twenty-five taels of silver to buy a sturdy ploughing ox, and I heard that the daughter-in-law of Zhao Laosan in the next village who married back from the ravine only cost five taels of silver. Forty taels of silver, is this to buy a golden bodhisattva?

"Liu Laosan, don't shout." Master Huang patted the village chief on the shoulder, and said with a look of good friendship between the two brothers: "I only offered the friendship price of these forty taels of silver for the sake of your Liu Laosan's face." ”

"This deed of sale is clearly written, you spent twenty taels of silver to buy Dani, why do we have to double it when we redeem it?"

"Twenty taels is the money I bought, can't I sell it at a higher price?"

Saying that, Master Huang pulled the hair on the top of his head, revealing the wound and showing it to the village chief and the others: "Look, look, this is all from Yun Dani, I see that the doctor has a hundred taels of medicinal flowers!" ”

"A hundred taels? Do you want to cross a layer of gold to find a broken temple to cheat money? Someone in the villagers teased.

Master Huang is not annoyed, he is going to settle for forty taels of silver today, and if he doesn't give money, he will take the deed of sale to go to the county master to file a lawsuit!

Looking at him like this, he can't do forty taels of right or wrong, but even if the carpenter's family doesn't eat or drink for three or four years, he can't earn forty taels of silver, how can he take it out.

The village chief scratched his head in embarrassment, walked up to Erniang, and said, "The carpenter's family, forty taels, he refuses to lose a penny." Twenty taels is the number written on the deed of sale, and the other twenty taels are said to be the medicine money for his broken head. ”

Yun Xiu took out the twenty taels of silver that she put here in Dani, and she was so worried that she wanted to sigh for Huazi, she knew that she had borrowed forty taels of silver from Gu Liu at that time, and it would be too late to regret it here.

"Uncle Liu, why don't you help ask Master Huang, first pay him back 20 taels, and the remaining 20 taels of medical expenses, I will pay him back when I make money."

"No! If you don't have forty taels, hand over Yun Dani! Master Huang heard Yun Xiu's words from afar, and without thinking about it, he pulled his throat and refused.

Yun Xiu made a difficulty, there are still twenty taels, where did she come from, or should she take the supplements given by Gu Liu to pay off the debt? But the food of those grass roots and tree bark can be worth a few taels of silver, and the packet of medicine given by the doctor in the town is only thirty or forty copper plates at most.

"Erni, help me into the house......"

After a long while, Er Niang helped Erni out of the house again, still holding a piece of paper and a broken silver bag in her hand.

Erniang put the silver bag in the hands of the village chief: "This is the six taels of silver that our family saves on weekdays, and there are many children in the family, and we can't save any money." There's only so much that can be taken out. ”

took out the piece of paper again and handed it to the village chief: "This is the title deed given to us by the county magistrate after the accident at Li Xiucai's family." The house in the town is still a single house, and it is worth fifteen or sixteen taels. ”

The village chief took the title deed and the silver and sighed. Although the daughter-in-law of the Yun carpenter's family is fierce to the cloud carpenter, she really treats these children as her own.

Master Huang took the silver and the title deed, and then left with a smile, the single courtyard in the town is worth more than 20 taels, these few farmers don't know stupidly, but let him earn a few taels of silver for nothing.

Erniang took the deed of sale, asked Erni to take the candlestick, and watched it burn clean with her own eyes, and the heavy stone in her heart was put down.

The village chief and the others explained a few words, and they all dispersed.

Yun Xiu looked at the yard that was smashed with bottles and cans full of slag and was worried. The group of people who lost their conscience even broke the pickle jar, and they could only drink sweet rice porridge in the future.

After lunch, Erni went to the vegetable field and picked a lot of long beans.

"Second sister, are you done eating? Do you pick so much? ”

"Everything has been smashed, and the sauerkraut still has to be pickled first, or Daddy will go out to work tomorrow, and there will be no food on the way." Erni washed the beans and said helplessly.

There were beans, but there was no large vat of pickled beans, Yunxiu was looking around for a suitable container, and Sini ran over and handed her something.

Yun Xiu picked it up and saw that it was a rattan bracelet, and there was a thin silver piece linked to the buckle.

This rattan bracelet is a dowry brought by Erniang, every time she goes to the river to take a bath, Erniang will carefully take it off and wrap it in a cloth, which must be something extremely important to her.

Yun Xiu took the bracelet back to the house and put it on the head of Erniang's bed, "Erniang, you keep this, I'll find a way to deal with the cylinder." ”

"What do you think? Not only is it a vegetable tank, but you also have to buy rice and noodles, and I can tell you, the family can't get a penny now. Why don't you exchange some money and go to the town to beg for a bowl? You sisters have a few delicate skins and tender meats, and before you get the money, you lost yourself first. ”

Although Erniang's words are not good, they are true. Daddy goes out to work and only pays after he pays for it, and it is common for him to drag on for ten days and half a month. But the mouth of eating at home can't even drag on for a day.

After thinking about it, Yun Xiu still went out with the rattan bracelet.

Before she could reach the gate, she saw Widow Feng leading a few men to their house, and there was a cart with a few large and small jars and some rice noodles on it.

"Feng Niangzi......" Yun Xiu hurriedly opened the gate and helped push the car into the yard.

"Why are you ......" Erniang looked at the things sent by Widow Feng, and didn't know what to say, what to say at this time is not as good as this carload of things.

"Originally, when I saw that group of splashes at your door in the morning, I thought about coming to help, and I thought about me as a woman, even if I stood up, those splashes might not be afraid of me, so I went to send a letter to Brother Liu."

"It turned out that you helped send the letter, and it really saved the lives of our mothers!"

"That's it, it's just a matter of raising your hands. When I woke up in the morning, before I had even walked up the slope in front of your house, I heard a group of people smashing things in your yard. Hide in the haystack and take a look, there is a dogleg in it I have seen in the town, it is the Huang family pawnshop to help. I knew that it must be because of Dani. ”

"Thank you so much, Awan......"

"You, just raise the fetus with peace of mind, and the little guy in the belly will come out in the future, and call me a godmother. When I am a hundred years from now, I will be satisfied if I can come to my grave and add incense to me. Widow Feng touched Erniang's belly and joked.

Widow Feng married two terms of father-in-law, but she failed to leave a son and a half daughter, and the people in the village took a fancy to Widow Feng's good conditions and wanted to give her the child to raise. Widow Feng didn't want it, the child's parents knew the roots, she was afraid that she would be taken away by her own mother in vain, not to mention spending some money, decades of hard work would be a big trouble when the relationship was parted.

But he lived like this without children and daughters, and he was fine when he was alive, but after a hundred years, even if he saved thousands of family fortunes, he didn't even have one who could offer incense.

"Feng Niangzi, I call you Godmother!" Si Ni smiled sweetly, looked shy, and stuffed the sugar in her hand into Widow Feng's hand.

The bad guy smashed all the things in the house, and took away the money to buy food, and the second sister told her to eat less in the future, or the whole family would have to go hungry.

Feng Niangzi brought rice and noodles, with food, everyone doesn't have to be hungry, Feng Niangzi wants someone to call her godmother, sisters are embarrassed, she is young, she shouts.

"My good Sini, you are the most well-behaved." Feng Niangzi pulled Sini into her arms, sat on her lap, pinched her little face and kissed her. A cart of bottles and cans plus some food in exchange for a goddaughter, Feng Niangzi thinks that it is really worth it!

Erniang saw that Feng Niangzi liked Si Ni, she originally wanted Si Ni to follow Feng Niangzi, and then thought about it, she was a stepmother after all, and Si Ni was used to being close to her sisters, if she was sent to Feng Niangzi's knees, even if Yun Carpenter didn't say it, several children would complain, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Yun Xiu saw that the matter of the eldest sister in the family was solved, so she rushed to Gu Liu in a hurry. Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany Gu Liu to the field to tie hemp rope to the grapes that have been beaten, and the grapes will have to be tied to the grape trellis if they want to hang fruit. Once the vines are fixed, they can bear large and sweet fruits in the fall.

The hemp rope that binds the grapes should be soaked in warm water overnight in advance, which is the strongest. After soaking for a long time, it is bad and not strong, and the soaking time is not enough, and it cannot be spread and twisted when it is used. When soaking, you have to rub it open one by one with your hands, and rub off the skin wrapped on the outside to reveal the silk inside.

When Yun Xiu ran home sweating profusely, Gu Liu was pouting his ass and squatting there to rub the hemp rope, seeing that the master was playing in the water, Xiao Qi was meowing on the side, and his little paws were on his trouser legs, trying to pull him out of the water.

"Master, you put it down quickly, I'll just come." Yun Xiu didn't have time to wipe it, so he hurriedly went into the house and found a piece of water to put on, and came over to take over the work in Gu Liu's hands.

Gu Liu didn't touch the water, Xiao Qi didn't scream, quietly made a nest on Gu Liu's legs, lay there and pretended to sleep, listened to them, raised an eyelid from time to time, and glanced at the woman working there with disdain, a family or my most favored tsundere.

"Your eldest sister's business is done?" Gu Liu stroked the hair on Xiao Qi's back one by one, the cat he raised was good-looking, the claws and claws were also good-looking, the meat cushion was black, and it was mighty and domineering when he looked at it.

"Hmm." Yun Xiu nodded.

"The Huang family took forty taels before returning the deed of sale to us, and then the thief eyebrows and walked away with a smile."

"Yo, did your second mother give her twenty taels of silver money?"

Twenty taels is not a small amount, Yun carpenter has good craftsmanship and business is booming.

"Not really!" Yun Xiu fished out the hemp rope and changed it to warm water.

"My second mother only has six taels of silver, and she gave a deed of ownership of the town's single courtyard, and the Huang family left."
