Chapter 10: The Heart of the Strong
"I will pay off the rest of the money in two years, and I will only have to pay an extra thirty yuan in interest. Within five years, the interest on the unpaid part will be more than five dollars for every 100 yuan, and within ten years, the interest will be more than 20 yuan for every 100 yuan. ”
Xu Wanning looked at the two of them with blank faces: "You have no opinion, right?"
"Of course ......"
"Of course I don't have an opinion!"
Li Qianqian held down Gu Jun, who was about to scold, and smiled at Xu Wanning, "Wanning, don't worry, we will pay back the money as soon as possible." ”
Xu Wanning nodded her chin: "Then write the interest on the IOU." ”
The two had no choice but to do so.
Taking back the IOU, Xu Wanning checked it carefully, then folded it, and put the IOU into the space through the cover of the jacket pocket.
"With so many witnesses, I believe that both of you will not be in debt. Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to repay the debt, it's a big deal that I will go to your house with an IOU to ask for it in person. We've known each other for so many years, and I still know which way the door of the two of you opens. ”
"Xu Wanning, you wait for me!"
Gu Jun glared at Xu Wanning viciously, threatened without pain, and after brushing Li Qianqian's hand away, he turned around and entered the house.
Li Qianqian trotted and followed.
Xu Wanning shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, looked at the two large packages on the ground, and suddenly had an idea.
"Uncles and aunts, you have also seen that I have a complete falling out with Gu Jun and Li Qianqian, they have used these things, and it is too good to stay by my side. So I want to ask everyone, if there is anything you like, I will exchange it with you!"
As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to a shocking thunder that exploded among the onlookers.
"Xu Zhiqing, are you serious? This thing is so good, are you really willing to do it?"
"It's not that I don't, it's just that I'm exchanging them for something with you. Sister-in-law Yang, do you have a fancy for it?"
Sister-in-law Yang finally gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Yang family two months ago, and now she has a high status in the Yang family, hearing Xu Wanning ask, she was not polite, pointing to a pair of black leather shoes with heels, "How are you going to change these shoes?"
"These shoes have been worn by Li Qianqian for a long time, how about a hen and twenty eggs?"
Now that the policy has been loosened, coupled with the particularity of the geographical location of Dajiang Village, farmers are allowed to raise chickens, ducks, and pigs, and only need to hand over a part of it in proportion at the end of the year.
At first glance, it sounds a bit expensive to ask for a chicken and 20 eggs, but when you think about it, you think it is very cost-effective.
That's leather shoes!
Leather shoes that only a girl in the city can afford!
Sister-in-law Yang was a little hesitant, but her mother-in-law did not hesitate and said: "Change, let's change!"
"Xu Zhiqing, I'll give you another chicken and twenty eggs, and you give my daughter-in-law another piece of clothing, this is not the New Year soon, but you have to let her dress up decently!"
"My aunt is really good to Sister-in-law Yang, so I promise you this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I promise you, and I will give my aunt a silk scarf!"
With the Yang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law taking the lead, more people joined in.
In the academy, a dark-skinned and sturdy female intellectuals poked Yuan Xin and asked in a small voice: "Yuan Xin, didn't you take a fancy to that goose-yellow coat before?" ”
Yuan Xin responded lightly: "I don't have hens and eggs, forget it." ”
"What's this, everyone is an educated youth who went to the countryside together, although Xu Wanning doesn't live in the Educated Youth Institute now, but she also has this affection, you tell her, exchange it for something else!"
Yuan Xin was a little moved.
Although she is also a girl in the city, and her family background is not bad, there are too many children in the family, and there are not many things to share with her. Even the maroon woolen coat she wore yesterday had been bought after years of saving.
And that goose-yellow coat is many times better than hers.
It must look good on her!
But, it was Xu Wanning's, if she opened this mouth, would Brother Lin misunderstand?
Xu Wanning naturally heard this, she didn't pretend to ignore it, but walked up to the two with her coat.
"Yuan Zhiqing, if you really like this coat, I'll give it to you, and I will take it as the reward for sending me something yesterday. ”
"No, no, no!" Yuan Xin couldn't help waving his hand: "I was just a casual thing yesterday, how can I accept such a valuable thing from you?"
"People in the village like dark colors and are resistant to dirt, but no one cares about this one, but you have fair skin, which is the best for you. The most important thing is that this one is still brand new, and Li Qianqian has not worn it. ”
Yuan Xin couldn't help but be moved, but he couldn't persuade himself to reach out and take it.
Xu Wanning stuffed it directly into her hand, "Give it to you, you can take it!"
"That'...... Thank you. ”
Xu Wanning waved her hand and plunged into the crowd again.
"Brother Chen, this dress was bought at the Friendship Store, even Gu Jun didn't want to wear it a few times, a chicken will definitely not be able to change, at least add a duck and twenty duck eggs!"
"Sister-in-law Lin, this scarf is the most suitable for you, I'll give it to you directly, you let your Tie Dan'er take our Da Chun'er to play together, that child is too introverted. ”
"Uncle Xu......"
In less than half an hour, the two packages were almost vacated.
Now only two things remain, a worn-out but non-functional bicycle and a Roman watch that is still as good as new.
Most of the villagers are simple, although some love to take advantage of small advantages, but they also know how valuable this watch is, and naturally no one licks their faces and exchanges them with chickens and ducks that every household has.
If they want to buy it with money, they really can't afford that much money.
Clothes and shoes are different.
"Wanning, look, when will this hen and eggs be given to you?"
"Just send it directly to my house later, and you will have to run again for your aunts." ”
"Where, Wanning, you're just too polite!"
In the house, Li Qianqian stood by the window, and saw Xu Wanning quickly mingling with the people in the village, so angry that her gums creaked, and she turned her back to Gu Jun, her face was hideous, but her voice was as soft as ever.
"How did Wanning become like this? Now she is so strange, I don't even know her anymore. ”
If she said this in the past, Gu Jun would definitely echo her and go back to Xu Wanning's trouble.
This is how the two of them cooperated, and Xu Wanning was taken care of.
After waiting for a long time, without waiting for a response from the person behind her, Li Qianqian turned around, but saw Gu Jun's eyes red, clenching his hand tightly into a fist, and he could still see the bulging green tendons on the back of his hand.
"This matter, you can't just forget it!" Gu Jun gritted his teeth: "The shame that Xu Wanning brought me today, I want to get it back one by one!"
