Chapter 7 Debt of Silver

Ah Zhi came back to his senses, couldn't cry, couldn't laugh: "Grandma, let's go home." ”

"Okay, well, go home." The old lady had tears rolling in the corners of her eyes at this time, and there was a slight smile on her face.

As soon as they stepped into the entrance of the village, the grandfather and grandson were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they almost stumbled.

At the entrance of the village, there are dozens of people in black shirts and strong clothes, with sharp weapons at their waists and majestic people, surrounding the entrance of the village, and the atmosphere is extremely serious.

There is a man in brocade with his back to him, just looking at the back, the figure is vigorous and strong. Tie up the long hair, the clothes are good, the exposed hands are as white as jade, the wrists are tied with red ropes, and the beads are red agate, and the hands that are as white as jade are even more white and flawless.

The breeze came slowly, and the fragrance emanating from the freedom of the person's body disappeared with the wind, leaving a trace of fragrance in the wind.

Ah Zhi and the old lady wanted to go home, but the way was blocked, so they had to take a detour.

The old lady looked at these people and felt very familiar, but she couldn't think of who they were for a while.

Ah Zhi and the old lady were turning around and making a detour, but one person stopped them.

The attendant's face was angry: "Old man, how is the silver?" ”

The old lady was frightened and looked at him in a daze: "What kind of silver?" ”

The entourage also thought that she was old and couldn't remember, so he reminded: "Half a month ago, the old man went to a grain store, and when he left, he broke a jade porcelain gourd, do you remember?" ”

The old lady was startled, thought about it for a while, patted the corner of her forehead, she bought black noodles in the grain store, because it was raining heavily, she was in a hurry to leave, and in a hurry, she knocked down the jade porcelain gourd next to the door for people to see.

I vaguely remember that the jade porcelain gourd was broken, and the shopkeeper also wrote an IOU, if he didn't pay back ten taels of silver, he had to go to work to pay off the debt. Thinking of this, the old lady was dizzy, how could she forget about this, the silver was seven seven eighty-eight, three melons and two dates, and the empty, deflated money bag was only filled with two taels, or she saved it by saving it from the left and the deduction.

Ah Zhi hadn't heard the old lady say, and at this time it was also Yimeng, she put down the things in her hand, helped the crumbling old lady, and looked at the entourage with an unyielding expression: "Sir, how much does my grandmother owe?" ”

"Ten taels." The attendant replied crisply.

Ah Zhi frowned slightly, looked at the little old lady, and whispered: "Grandma, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"People are old, and their memories are not as good as before, hey!" The old lady really forgot, she still remembers those days when she had a bad temper, was as irritable as thunder, and beat her, until now, Ah Zhi still has bruises on the back of her wrist and hand.

Ah Zhi frowned, raised his head and looked at the entourage: "Can't you be more lenient?" ”

"I can't." The retinue spat out words like gold.

"......" Ah Zhi looked at the old lady with tears in the corners of her eyes, what can she do now, let alone ten taels, she can't get a penny.

At this time, the old lady stuffed Ah Zhi with a square silk that was washed so that he couldn't see the color, which was a little heavy.

The old lady spoke incoherently, and her voice was hoarse: "That's all." ”

Ah Zhida estimated that there were only two taels of silver in Fang Juan, but as if she didn't believe that person, she held Fang Juan in the palm of her hand, raised her eyes and looked at the expressionless entourage: "IOU." ”

The entourage also took out the IOU happily, the IOU handwriting was a little neat, smooth and sloppy, and there was a red fingerprint that could not be seen in fingerprints.

From the beginning to the end, Ah Zhi frowned, and she looked at the old lady: "Grandma......"

The next words may be a question, but Ah Zhi can't say it.

"Since you can't pay it back, then work to pay off your debts." The man in brocade turned around, and his words were understated.

The one who is fully familiar doesn't care about money, doesn't care about jade porcelain gourds, but seems to have a kind of work that must be paid off by debt.

He walked step by step, the hem of his clothes moving with the wind, and a faint fragrance emanating from him.

Ah Zhi only felt that this fragrance smelled very good, but in this man, she secretly scolded Liang Liang in her heart.

"Childe," the black-shirted attendant bowed his head and arched his hand, "this old man didn't have any money. ”

The man in brocade took the IOU in Ah Zhi's hand with his slender jade hand and flicked the corner a few times: "Girl, Tongping Town Weilai Restaurant will open on February 16th, don't be late." ”

"You ......"

"Don't be late."

The brocade-clothed man spit out a word lightly, raised the IOU, and a proud smile appeared on the ice-carved handsome face.

Without waiting for Ah Zhi to agree or not, he left.

Only the fragrance lingered around her.

The look of being cheap and selling well made Ah Zhi itch his teeth with hatred, glaring at the gradually blurred back, gritting his teeth, waiting for me, don't you just work to pay off your debts, what's the big deal.

The black-shirted entourage coughed lightly: "Girl, my grandfather and son have personally come forward to ask for the silver owed, and they love the jade porcelain gourd, but now it is broken, as long as your grandparents and grandchildren pay back ten taels of silver, it will be enough, but you two can't take it out, so you have to work to pay off the debt." ”

"There are a lot of people coming in and out of the grain store, even if they love Youjia's jade porcelain gourd, why is it still placed at the door for people to see?" Ah Zhi interrogated aggressively.

"Heh," the black-shirted attendant seemed to see her intentions, and scolded: "If the son likes to put it there, he will put it there, since your grandmother fell to the ground and broke it, and the debt was repaid, and it was justified that there was no money, then work to pay off the debt, and if the son is happy, you can also be exempted from some debts." ”

The black-shirted entourage snorted lightly, beckoned to the little friend standing on the side, and did not wait for whether the two ancestors and grandchildren were happy or not, and strode away.

Ah Zhi didn't look at it, picked up the things on the ground and left, and when he left, he saw the little old lady who was drooping her head and sighing.

"Grandma, go home, it's noon." Ah Zhi lowered his voice and threw away the grandpa and grandma.

The old lady raised her head, looked at Ah Zhi, and lowered her head again, with a pair of vicissitudes of life behind her back, sighing, shaking her head and moving step by step.

Ah Zhi can't now, and comfort doesn't seem to work.

The old lady's hunched back, sighing, the harsh criticism and anger at every turn in the past, so that the new Ah Zhi couldn't speak, I really wanted to tell her that it would be broken and broken, and the money would be returned, but now there is no money, as the man said, work to pay off the debt, but during this period, you can also think of ways to make money, and it would be good to pay back the money as soon as possible.

It's a pity that things are as simple as she thinks, and the little old lady doesn't say a word, and it doesn't matter how much she thinks, it's useless.

When she returned home, the old lady went to the well to fetch water to wash the wild vegetables, and washed them again and again, and the soil on the wild vegetables was clean.

Ah Zhi was cleaning up the crucian carp that he had caught in a hurry, and the scales were also placed in a wooden basin.

When she cleaned up the crucian carp, she just got up to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by the old lady.

"Ah Zhi, it's grandma who is not good and drags you down." Her voice was choked, hoarse, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she lifted her sleeve to wipe the hot tears that were sliding down her cheeks.

"Grandma, it's okay, I can handle it." Ah Zhi's nails were all picked in the cracks of the wooden basin, the joints were aching, and the fingertips were gradually turning white.

The old lady was startled and hurriedly stood up: "Ah Zhi, don't you blame grandma for causing trouble for you and coming back?" ”

"No, it won't."

In the past, 'Ah Zhi' might quarrel with the old lady and let the old lady figure it out by herself, but now Ah Zhi surprised the old lady.

The old lady didn't think about it anymore, she was happy, Ah Zhi may be slowly accepting her and forgiving her on the way.

'Ah Zhi' rarely went to town and spent three years in prison, but he heard something from other people's mouths.

Zhou Siyuan, the third aunt of Zhoufu, the fourth in the clan, a rich child, although he is a concubine, he does not rely on his father's family, he is self-reliant, and he is a self-made teenager.

A Zhi's eyes flashed with coldness, in her eyes, Zhou Siyuan was a scheming villain.
