In Guxi Village, Song Hong didn't go out after returning to the room at noon, and didn't even come out to eat dinner, and finally Song Ming had no choice but to open the door when he went to sleep.

That is, taking advantage of this gap, Zhou went in and met with his son, and then the mother and son went out and didn't know what to say, and then returned to the room Song Hong's eyes were red, and it seemed that she had cried.

Song Ming also glanced at it, and then turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, Zhou found Hong early in the morning.

"Mother, why don't we go to town again after dinner. Brother Hong is not happy to open up to the second child, as long as we borrow the money back, it will be done. ”

Zhou's suggestion, Hong's listened, and felt that it was feasible.

Last night, she also mentioned the matter of silver to the old man, and it was impossible to sell the land, so after thinking about it, she could only stretch out her hand to the second child.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have already discussed, but after breakfast, the sky is snowflakes again, and it is not easy to go down the road, so after discussing it, it was decided that the snow would stop and go again.

In Hekou Town, Song Ercai took the silver and asked Lu Bao to go out to help buy some things, and then picked out cloth and cotton in the shop and made big cotton shoes, and took the family back to the village in a casual car.

As soon as I got out of town, the snowflakes in the sky were falling again.

The weather has been gloomy for half a month, and there has not been a good day.

Song Ercai parked the car on the side of the road and took out a light coat made of oiled paper and covered it on the horse's back.

At this time, another carriage came out of the town, and when the carriage of the Song family passed by, the coachman stretched his neck to take a look.

Maybe I didn't expect someone to make a coat for a horse.

Song Ercai turned his head sideways, and saw that it was a familiar face in the town, and he arched his hand.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Song."

The coachman returned the salute and soon raised his whip and walked away.

Chang Shi opened the curtain and glanced at it, and asked, "Is that the person in the Hutong teahouse?" ”

"It's them."

"Hey." Chang sighed, "I just saw that there were several people sitting in the back, and it is estimated that they will be accounted again, and I don't know whose family is going to suffer again." ”

The teahouse in the alley can drink tea and borrow money, but everyone knows that it is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and the interest rate is frighteningly high.

Song Ercai was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw the direction in which the carriage left, he quickly followed.

But his foal couldn't outrun after all, and it didn't take long for him to get rid of him.

Chang also felt something strange in the carriage, and was about to ask why he suddenly accelerated, Song Tian put down the book in his hand and said, "Mother, those people are likely to go to our village." ”

"Our village?"

"Well, the eldest brother borrowed money, seven or eight taels."

"What!"

Last time, Hong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the door, and Chang's went into the city, but Song Er didn't mention it later, she really didn't know about money, and everyone was shocked at this time and didn't know how to react.

"What did he do with the money?"

Chang couldn't figure it out, and Ah Xiu snorted: "It must have something to do with what Brother Tian was wronged last time." It's not that they were found to have given the man five taels of silver as a hush money, plus the later things were exposed, that person teamed up with Song Hong, and he must have collected the money. ”

Is that really the case?

Seeing his son nodding, Chang let out a rough breath and said, "You deserve it." ”

"Harm others and hurt himself, I'll see how he ends up now."

When the carriage entered the village, Song Ercai saw a lot of people gathered in front of his courtyard from a distance, and there were shouts and cries.

Thinking of his elderly parents, Song Ercai was anxious and waved his horsewhip.

At this time, the courtyard of the Song family was already in chaos.

After eating in the morning, Hong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wanted to go to the town, but it was snowing, so they wanted to wait for the snow to stop and then go, but the snow had not stopped, and the courtyard door was knocked.

"You, who are you looking for?"

It was Zhou who opened the door, these people were too strong, she was a little scared, and she stammered when she spoke.

The man surnamed Wei at the head looked very fierce when he didn't smile, but as long as he raised his mouth, he immediately became peaceful again.

"May I ask if this is Song Hong's family?"

"Are you looking for me?"

Zhou squinted his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him smiling, but then the man pulled his face again, and said with a smile: "Naturally, yes, his IOU is up, hurry up and let him come out and pay back the money." ”

"Borrow, IOU, what IOU?"

Zhou was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Hong under the eaves, and couldn't figure out the situation at all.

At this time, Wang, who originally wanted to come out to see the situation, pulled his son into the room and closed the door.

"It's a debt collector!"

Wang looked vigilantly at the people outside under the window, with fear on his face.

"Why is it at this time, San Lang and they haven't come back yet, and it will be troublesome to start working in a while."

Wang's mind is very bright, and he knows what is going on when he thinks about it.

"Mother, what kind of debt collector?"

Song Kang didn't understand it yet, he only knew that those people looked fierce and inexplicably frightening.

Wang was in no mood to pay attention to his son, thinking that Song Hong had borrowed money outside, he gritted his teeth angrily, "I have suffered a thousand knives, no wonder I asked for money from the family for a long time, and I did it for a long time." What did he do, and he borrowed so much silver, and did iniquity? ”

Wang lowered the curtains and hurried back to the bedroom with his children, intending to hide from the door.

Outside, Wei Hui showed Zhou an IOU with a signature.

Zhou looked at it, there was really her son's name written on it, and there was a line of handwriting that I didn't know what was written, she couldn't read.

"This? It can't be a fake, right? ”

The son borrowed money from the bank? Zhou's eyes were stupid.

As soon as the man heard her fake, his eyes were horizontal, and his fierce face was exposed.

Zhou took half a step back, shivering inexplicably.

At this time, the old man Song who was roasting the fire in the house also came over, and when he looked at the strip, his face changed.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, go and call Brother Hong out."

Old Man Song was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and now he finally knew why Song Hong was bent on asking for money, and he didn't want the second room to participate.

Zhou was stunned, didn't have time to think, and quickly walked into the hall.

But soon, she ran out of the house again, and said hurriedly: "Dad, Brother Hong, he, he's not in the house!" ”

Zhou didn't know what to say, he originally had a glimmer of expectation to believe in his son, but now it was completely over.

"Not in the house?"

Old Man Song frowned, angry from his heart.

When they heard that the man had run away, they also began to rush into the house to see what was going on.

At this time, Song Ming, who was working in the backyard, turned around and said to Old Man Song: "Master, I saw my brother, I just climbed out of the courtyard wall." ”

I heard that outside, the two strong men ran out of the courtyard without saying a word, and after a while, Song Hong's screams came from outside, needless to say, they grabbed people.

"Let go, let go! It's not time yet, tomorrow, tomorrow is the end of the month! ”

Song Hong was still screaming, but several people in the courtyard were broken, originally the Zhou family still wanted to scold the second son, but now she had no strength, she only felt that the world was spinning, and she couldn't stand steadily.
