53. IOUs should be made on credit

In the evening, the big guys gathered in the hall of the house again.

"Lizheng nephew, hurry up and talk about the seeds." An old woman on crutches urged.

Others also said, "Lizheng, hurry up, everyone is waiting?" ”

"Niece Qian Duo, are you a vegetable seed in front of you?" Someone came up to Qian Duo.

Qian Duo nodded.

The other party wanted to touch it, but he was embarrassed, so he sat down next to Qian Duo and the seeds.

Li Zheng sat on the top and asked his daughter-in-law Zhang to pour hot tea for the village elders, gave up his seat, and swept around who came.

Except for the patriarch's family, almost the entire village sent representatives, and Li Zheng was very satisfied.

He cleared his throat and said, "When I leave, I won't talk nonsense, just tell everyone." ”

"As you know, Qian Duo met a new rich man in the town, and he was appreciated by others as an agent for harvesting vegetables."

"Because of this, our Qianjiagou suffered the least loss in this hail disaster."

Everyone nodded.

A daughter-in-law came from another village, and immediately said: "My daughter-in-law's mother's house is all rotten in the field, and it is estimated that the relief food will not work, and it looks like there is going to be a famine." ”

"Who says it's not, there are already people in Xiaosongzhuang next door who are buying and selling girls."

"Alas, an unexpected disaster."

When Li Zheng heard it, he coughed again: "Then you should remember Qian Duo better, don't let anyone talk nonsense, just come over and watch the excitement." ”

Everyone was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and said to Qian Duo: "Qian Duo, we know it's wrong." ”

Qian Duo waved his hand: "I didn't hear it anyway, Uncle Li Zheng, you continue to talk about the seeds." ”

What others say, as long as they don't scold their faces, Qian Duo is not uncommon.

Idle!

In the past few days, Li Zheng has broken his heart for the disaster, and he is so anxious that his throat is smoking.

He nodded at Qian Duo, took a bowl and drank saliva to moisten his throat, and then said: "The rich man of the Mo family gave Qian Duo money and asked her to buy a few packets of seeds, which are almost enough for two or three villages to plant. ”

"Ah, then our Qianjiagou must not be missing!" Everyone was excited, and they all cheered up.

Li Zheng nodded: "That's not it, our Qian Duo must be close to the Qian family's people first, but don't think that this kind of thing is in vain." ”

"Ren Qian Duo said, the rich man of the Mo family is giving us credit and letting us use it for free, and when we receive the vegetables, if we give him all the vegetables, the seed money will be written off."

"That's probably what it means, I think this trading line not only solves the problem in front of us, but also has someone to collect the vegetables in the future, at least the income in the coming year is not worried."

"If you agree, take an IOU from Qian Duo and put a handprint."

Do you want to press your handprint?

They are all farmers who don't leave home, and they can't read or write, and when they mention the handprint, they think of selling their sons and daughters before they press their handprints, and they can't turn around for a while, and they all bow their heads and whisper.

Gao grabbed Wu's arm and bit his ear: "Sister-in-law, what do you say?" ”

"Lizheng's brain works, or someone else will be an official, he said okay, it will definitely work." Wu was the first to agree.

Gao hesitated: "However, you have to press the mudra." ”

"It's going to have to be pressed." Wu said: "The seed is not given to you for nothing, if you don't press a handprint, and you don't admit it when the time comes, where can people reason with it?" ”

When Gao heard this, he seemed to be reasoning.

In other words, if someone borrows money, she must ask Mr. Xueli to help write a receipt and ask the other party to press his fingerprint.

She saw that the Wu family did not hesitate to trust Qian Duo, and coupled with this hailstorm, the Wu family sold all the vegetables to Qian Duo, which meant that the family had no loss at all.

Gao felt that it was safe to follow the family, and he didn't dare to force his mind anymore, so he honestly followed the Wu family to Qian Duo to get the contract.

Not only the Wu family and the Gao family, but also the people who sold vegetables to Qian Duo before, this time they all trusted Qian Duo unconditionally, and they all went to ask for the contract.

Aunt Song leaned against the door, holding the soles of her shoes and coldly watching everyone press their handprints, and rolled her eyes with disdain.

They are all members of the same clan, and they have to sign some kind of contract, and they have to be pressed with their handprints.

Qian Duo is really bent on getting into the eyes of money, and he doesn't do any good things.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people holding their handprints, she rolled her eyes and pretended to ask unintentionally, "You are all illiterate, is it a seed written on the paper?" ”

The person who is pressing the mudra has a hand.

There are few scholars in Qianjiagou, and it takes only a few lifetimes to come out of the old four rooms.

When Qian Zhuangyuan was developed, he also studied ethnology, but he disappeared in less than two years, and the ethnology was disbanded on the spot without support.

The children can write their own names, but after a few years, they have almost forgotten them, only one, two, three, four.

Seeing that everyone didn't move, Qian Duo looked up at Aunt Song and smiled: "Of course I borrowed the seeds, or I will read it to your aunt." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a contract and read it aloud in front of everyone.

The gist is that whoever borrows the seeds of the rich man of the Mo family today, how much is the value, and how much the gross profit is per month, and when the vegetables are harvested, they can be paid off with vegetables. If the credit person repays the debt in advance, the consent of the borrower must be obtained, otherwise it will be deemed invalid. If the person who fails to repay the loan on credit within the time limit, how much liquidated damages need to be paid, and if he fails to repay it, he will directly submit it to the yamen for processing.

Everyone is more or less short of money in their hands, and occasionally borrows a little from the rich man, and the basic IOU is written like this.

After Qian Duo finished reading, no one felt that there was anything wrong, and even felt that the rich man of the Mo family was a good man, and the interest was according to the minimum standard, and he could use vegetables to offset the account.

Aunt Song sneered: "We are illiterate, it's not what you read?" ”

"You all know that I fled here, and there are people in our village who have been cheated by rich people."

"I also took out a piece of paper, said it was an IOU, and coaxed people to press their handprints, but it turned out to be a death deed for selling their daughters, and the family's troublesome wives were separated, and it was not clear in the yamen."

Qian Duo: "......"

It's a matter of finding fault.

There are really people who are timid, and they are so frightened by Aunt Song that they don't dare to press their handprints: "Qian Duo, are you sure that you are borrowing seeds, not selling your daughter?" ”

Qian Duo smiled angrily: "Uncle, you haven't made it to adulthood, where is the girl?" ”

"......" The man blushed, but put down the IOU and hid from the crowd.

Li Zheng glared: "I'm starting to be nonsense again, with me as the middleman, what are you afraid of, I've signed it!" ”

"They all said I couldn't read!" Aunt Song pouted: "Who doesn't know that you are with Qian Duo, and what you signed is the same as ours!" ”

Li Zhengyi grabbed his signature and threw it to a person next to him: "You're right, right, don't you read the same words?" ”

The man was right word by word: "Yes, it looks the same." ”

Li Zheng looked at Aunt Song: "Did you hear clearly?" If you don't sign it, get out, don't get in the way. ”

Aunt Song held the needlework basket tightly with both hands: "I want seeds, of course I want seeds, why don't you give me seeds?" ”

"But I don't trust you, Lizheng, don't stare at you, there are literate people in our village, isn't Qian Duo and her third uncle a showman?"

"You let him come, he reads it, I believe it!"
