Ren Yaozu ran away, Zhuo Yan frowned and did not speak.

"Count it out, Zhuo Mu should also be released, or let's go and see?" Chu Xingchen walked to Zhuo Yan's side.

"Yes," Zhuo Yan didn't care about what trouble Zhuo Mu had encountered, but when she thought that if Zhuo Mu was too miserable, she would inevitably harass Village Chief Zhuo and Zhuo's mother, so she felt that it would be better to go over and have a look first.

It's still early at this time, and if you want to see Zhuo Mu's current situation, you just need to stop by on the way back.

Zhuo Yan and Chu Xingchen followed the original plan and walked slowly around Xilin Town.

Xilin Town is mainly agricultural, and other materials in this place are trafficked in from other places.

Now that the railway has not had time to be repaired, the largest freight passage in Xilin Town has been interrupted, and now the haberdashery in the city is hollowed out by vendors and trying to get in with all kinds of small means.

Not only is the variety of materials relatively small, but the price is also relatively expensive.

"Now the package from Bei'an can't come in, otherwise I can ask the shop over there to send you some snacks," Chu Xingchen knew very well that Zhuo Yan had no snacks to eat recently.

"It's okay, hasn't the railroad been built now? I guess the package will come in soon! Zhuo Yan also knew that his mouth was quite greedy, but the current situation was special.

There are not many snack materials, but other things are not affected, the two of them wandered around for a long time, bought some peach crisp snacks, more than a dozen catties of candy and a few bottles of canned food, packed in the blanket, and went to the restaurant for lunch.

The restaurants in Xilin Town mainly focus on beef and mutton, and the two of them walked around and finally went to a restaurant specializing in selling mutton noodles, which is very popular with the locals because of its mutton noodles soup and fresh gluten.

Eating the noodles, Chu Xingchen also remembered his old father, he was very sorry that Chu's father didn't eat such a delicacy when he was in Donglin, otherwise he wouldn't have so much prejudice against this place.

After eating, the two rode home, and when they passed the fork in the road, they did not go directly to the Xiliu camp, but went to Mukezhai.

After Zhuo Mu took Ren Lili to split up, he lived directly in Teacher Ren's house, Teacher Ren's home was located at the head of the village, and Zhuo Yan remembered very well that there was a big locust tree in that place.

The two of them went around, but they didn't see the big locust tree in their memory.

"It's strange, can this big locust tree still run?" Zhuo Yan felt very strange, immediately got off the horse, and asked a villager, and the villager heard Zhuo Yan say, so he smiled bitterly and pointed in a direction,

"This teacher speculated every year, and lost his family and his son-in-law's family fund, and the big locust tree in front of their house had already been cut down by them to pay off their debts! Just look for the big stump! ”

It sounds like this, Zhuo Mu's recent life situation is indeed not optimistic, and a person has to mix a lot of backs to cut down the tree in front of his house.

The two of them walked in the direction just now, and sure enough, they passed by the door of a house, and there was a big tree stump, and Zhuo Yan and Chu Xingchen dismounted.

There were already two scolding middle-aged people standing at the door of this house.

"I said Teacher Ren, you are shameless, when you borrow debts, you are full of running trains, and when you repay debts, you become a turtle with a shrunken head!"

"I'm telling you, don't think that I can't do anything if I don't open the door, I've already called someone, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll demolish your yard and sell bricks!"

The two middle-aged men spoke very politely.

As soon as Zhuo Yan saw this, he walked up to them and asked, "May I ask, how much does this Teacher Ren owe you?" ”

Those two were both villagers from Mukezhai, and after seeing Zhuo Yan, they felt that she was a little familiar, but they couldn't remember who she was for a while.

However, it is Teacher Ren who owes the debt, not them, so there is no need to hide it for Teacher Ren.

"To tell you the truth, this surnamed Ren asked me to borrow fifty yuan a year ago, and agreed to pay it back to me after the year, and he had to pay back ten yuan more as interest,"

"As soon as I thought about it, I could get ten yuan of interest in just three or four months, so I gave him all the family savings, who knew that he was a liar at all, and he didn't mention paying back the money after the New Year, and he couldn't even find anyone!" The creditor was furious, and after saying this, he kicked the door again.

The situation was similar for another creditor.

This is not that Mr. Ren's strength has increased, but now that private funds are tight, as long as the interest is high for depositing money, even the interest given by the bank is a lot.

Zhuo Yan nodded, "If you don't pay back the money, this nature is too bad, you have to pay for it!" ”

At this time, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and Teacher Ren showed his head and said, "It is Zhuo Mu who owes you money, not me, you go to Zhuo Mu!" ”

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly remembered a rumor he heard at the beginning, that is, when Mr. Ren borrowed money, he once changed the name on the IOU to Zhuo Mu.

The person who received the money was Teacher Ren, and the person who lost the money was Teacher Ren, but the name on the IOU was Zhuo Mu.

When Zhuo Yan heard about this, he only thought that Zhuo Mu was stupid, but Zhuo Mu himself was quite proud, and he also advertised everywhere that he was close to his father-in-law.

Now seeing such a result, Zhuo Yan still feels that Zhuo Mu is very stupid, and he deserves such a result.

Hearing that Teacher Ren was in arrears, the two people who demanded debts immediately rushed forward to block the door and prevent Teacher Ren from pushing the door.

"Don't pretend to be garlic if you have the surname Ren, others don't know you, but we know the real situation, although the IOU is your son-in-law's name, he hasn't seen a penny, and it's you who will receive the money in the end, we will definitely ask you for money!"

Zhuo Yan felt that the two people who wanted to pay the account were very clear-headed, so he hugged his arms and nodded beside them to praise them, "That's right, there is a debtor who is wronged, whoever borrows money and benefits will have to repay the debt, the name on the IOU is just a trick played by Teacher Ren, if you believe it, it means that you are stupid!" ”

Of course, these two middle-aged men were not stupid, so they rushed forward, grabbed Teacher Ren tightly, and dragged him out of the door at once.

"Pay back!"

These two people grabbed Teacher Ren, pushing, shoving, and scolding, not polite at all.

Teacher Ren held his head, pointed at Zhuo Yan and said, "I said two, this girl is Zhuo Mu's sister, their Zhuo family is rich now, just a little leakage between your little fingers is enough to pay you off, why don't you ask this girl for money?" ”

The middle-aged man slapped Teacher Ren, "You are too inauthentic, you coveted your son-in-law's money, instigated him to separate from the Zhuo family, and asked people to kill cattle, this matter has spread all over the two villages, what do you mean by lying today?" ”
