Yuan Dashi was bored for a long time, and finally said a fair word, he said: "Mother, what the second brother said is true, he will not treat us as relatives, to say a word of panic, after the separation of the family, you are far away from this, many things do not know, the second brother and I have resisted the eyes of many people in the village, the second brother has not helped us with the big house, and he has not helped us less when he even opened a stall to do business, so my mother really don't say this about the second brother, he will not help the one who should help." ”

Ge Shi heard that the eldest son also spoke sincerely, and his heart softened, but he still felt that the younger son was important, so he seized the opportunity and said: "Then your third brother is also a critical time, so I have to count on you to help, and your younger brother also has to study quietly, your third brother is begged by those wine and meat friends who have borrowed money all day long, and comes to the house every day to drink and drink, and the trouble is very late and noisy, and the article can't study well, and from time to time there are people who are in a hurry to use money to urge us to pay back!" Second, you can help again. ”

Yuan Dashuo listened to it for so long, and finally heard her mother say what she wanted.

So he asked in a deep voice, "How much do you owe?" ”

His gaze didn't look at Ge Shi anymore, but stared directly at Yuan Daqian's side.

Yuan Daqian was stared at uncomfortably, feeling a little embarrassed, it didn't matter if he pretended to be a grandson in front of outsiders, but he always loved face in front of his two brothers who were not as good as him.

Yuan Dashuo didn't care so much, he looked straight at this third brother who had always been self-righteous.

Ge originally wanted to speak for Yuan Daqian, but he also understood that the two sons did not deal with each other.

So she thought about it and said anxiously to Yuan Daqian: "Your second brother asked you!" How much is missing?! ”

In fact, she knew it, but she understood that Yuan Dashuo wanted to teach Yuan Daqian a lesson, so she favored her second son.

Yuan Daqian can't get along with silver money anymore, and he has really been nervous about money recently.

So he muttered awkwardly, "... Fifteen taels of silver are still missing......"

Fifteen taels of silver.

Yuan Man looked at her father, and saw her father's pensive look, but she must not let go, otherwise she will not be able to live in peace after being entangled.

Yuan Dashuo raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Daqian after thinking about it and said: "I have fifteen taels to make a mess, you can borrow money, the IOU must be played, I write the IOU well, you should sign and sign, you should stamp your handprint, you will always have the ability to pay it back within five years, people say that your brother still settles the account, you have to admit this, right?" At the latest, your eldest nephew will marry someone in five years, and your younger nephew will marry someone farther away, and your two nieces will have a dowry, and I will have to get this money back, and you, the third uncle, will not want to be greedy for it, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Man understood, but fortunately, her father was not stupid enough to agree directly.

The IOU here is as valid as the contract, if the other party refuses to repay the money, it can be sued to the yamen, and the yamen will come forward to negotiate at that time, if it still refuses, it will be raided to repay the money, and if there is no money, it will be sent to work as a coolie to earn money to pay off the debt.

So her father is quite ruthless this time, but there is no way to do it.

Guan Ge's appearance today will definitely not be reluctant if he doesn't dig something out of the second room.

And if Yuan Dashuo really doesn't care, it really doesn't sound good for the other party to go out.

Now that they are willing to lend him money, it has been calculated, and the contract is also a wake-up call, which means that their second room is not a fool to let them suck blood and eat meat, and there is a contract that they dare not repay, and even think about it when they want to fight the autumn wind again, after all, if the second room is tough and demanding, they will have to pay it back.

The adults present at this incident naturally understood the meaning.

Ge Shi didn't want to, she felt that they were all brothers, and their family had some money to take out to help their brothers, what's wrong? Where do you still need an IOU?

As a result, she was about to speak, but Yuan Daqian had already agreed, and laughed at herself: "Success!" Since the second brother has said so, who makes me inferior to you now? It's really tight on hand, let's go through the process that should be taken, do you want me to calculate some interest for you? How about nine out of thirteen? ”

Su Shi was in a hurry, and hurriedly glanced at Yuan Daqian and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Then he smiled at Yuan Dashuo, who had a black face: "Second brother, don't worry about big money, he has been too angry recently, and he is here to collect debts, and his brain is confused, and it is good that you are willing to lend us money." ”

Yuan Daqian was ridiculing Yuan Dashuo's letter, but he still had to make an IOU.

That's why he mocked him for charging high interest rates like the loan sharks in the town.

Su Shi understands that life has been really difficult recently, the money borrowed a year ago is interested, not only to collect interest but also to owe favors, every time he collects debts, he has to pretend to be a grandson with a face.

Anyway, it's a bad time for them.

At present, the second room is willing to come up with a sum of money, and her man needs this money to alleviate the difficulties in front of him, but because he has been not good with this second brother, he has to bow his head to him and feel angry, but because he needs this money too much, he has to bow his head and ask for it.

Partial mouth is still unforgiving.

Su Shi believes that if the current difficulties are overcome first, there will be no more trouble.

It is better to owe one's own family than to outsiders, and it also saves people from being shameless and skinless every day.

And the longest time is five years, if there is no shortage of money in the second room, they can owe it for five years, how good, and they can continue to do business in the third room after paying off foreign debts, and no one messes with their money, and they always make money faster than now.

And the most important thing is that the second room does not mention the interest, and the family will naturally not calculate the interest, but isn't Yuan Daqian an idea for nothing?

Or what is the benefit of annoying the second room for your own family?

I have to say that Su's brain is still quite able to settle accounts, and he must endure it when he should endure it, and the three-room couple are also interest-oriented people, Yuan Daqian calmed down and apologized dryly: "Second brother, my brain is not sober, don't worry about me." ”

Ge Shi saw that the two brothers decided not to listen to her, and immediately said angrily and annoyedly: "A good family has to be like this, don't ask for an IOU, second!" If your second brother makes a fortune, can he still ignore the two of you? If your third brother becomes an official, can he still benefit from you? It's all the Yuan family! ”

Yuan Daqian sighed and said, "Okay mother, that's it, it's good to distinguish some." ”

In short, he never imagined that one day he would have to rely on the help of the second room.

It's frustrated enough for his self-esteem, so the mood isn't high.

Although Yuan Dashuo was angry at the ridicule of the third brother just now, in order to quickly solve this trouble, he also went to the big room to borrow some paper and pen to write an IOU.

The second room and the family have all moved to the new house, so there is no pen and paper.

And Dafang still needs to keep accounts for doing business recently, so these things are available.

After the IOU was written, Yuan Daqian and Su Shi read it and found that although Yuan Dashuo had a cold face from just now, there was indeed no interest in the IOU.

This matter is indeed owed to outsiders as well as to one's own family, and Yuan Daqian also admits it.
