Chapter 15 Pooling Money to Pay Off Gambling Debts
In the hall, Cai Dazhu faced his three sons and two daughters-in-law, and he couldn't open his mouth, it was everyone's hard-earned money, but he was defeated by the third brute once!
Cai Zijun was not worried about Cai Dazhu, and after putting Li to sleep, he also got up and went to the hall, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Cai Dazhu embarrassed, with his back bent, as if he was ten years old all of a sudden, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly sour.
Walked lightly to Daddy and sat down, and the little squint eyes that were squeezed into a gap by the flesh on his face looked at him obediently, "Dad, the people in the gambling house are still waiting there, this matter can't be delayed, it must be solved." Family...... How much money do you have in your home? ”
Tian Shi looked at Cai Zijun, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and his mouth moved, but when he thought about the housework being rounded, he didn't dare to say anything.
Cai Dazhu sighed, "The savings that the whole family has saved over the years are all from your mother, I know the amount, there are more than forty taels, fifty taels is still a little short......"
"Dad, there are some things that the daughter-in-law shouldn't have said, but now I have to say, not to mention that the third child has been wandering outside all these years, the son and daughter are all raised by the family, and now this is about to be the New Year, the New Year needs silver to do New Year's goods, and the little sister and Juan'er are both older, the dowry of the two can point to these silver, next year, Xianggong he is going to participate in the Autumn Festival, and Mingwen also has to take the Tongsheng exam...... Where, silver has to be spent everywhere, and all the money in the family must be paid off to the third child, how can we live as a family? Tian was beaten and scolded today, and he didn't want to make trouble, but in a hurry, he still said what was in his heart.
Of course, what she said was also true.
More than 40 taels of silver deposits, in the entire Peach Blossom Village, is quite good, and it can be regarded as a rich family.
Cai Dazhu looked at her and nodded, "What you said is the truth, and I understand, but the third brother is your brother after all, although he is too uncompetitive, but he can't ignore it, if you really want to ignore it, the gambling house will definitely not do it, and then the third child will not be missing a finger or a lame leg, boss, can you tell me?" ”
Cai Qirong shook his head, "Dad, I don't have any good way, what if I really want to force the third family, will my son leave in the future?" Mingwen and Mingwu still read the book? However, what Xiaojuan said, Dad, you also have to think about it! ”
Cai Zijun glanced at his eldest brother, it's really hypocritical, isn't this a bunch of nonsense? I don't want to give money, and I don't want to affect my reputation!
In this situation, how can it be both?!
Cai Dazhu was silent, knowing that the boss was unwilling, and then looked at the second child, "Second child, what about you?" ”
Cai Qihua is a cowardly and unassertive character, and he is unwilling in his heart, but he still said in a low voice: "I listen to my father." ”
"Yes. Fourth, what about you? ”
Although Cai Qigui was also angry in his heart, the third brother was not angry, but he really had no choice, and shook his head, "Dad, you don't have to ask me, I also listen to you and my mother, I just say a word, you can make more money if the silver is gone, but if the person is gone, if you are disabled, there is no way at all, I only hope that the third brother can learn the lesson this time." ”
That's agreeing.
Cai Dazhu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, since your brothers have agreed, then this time I will help the little beast pay off his gambling debts, and the family will have a reunion in peace." ”
"Daddy......"
Cai Dazhu looked at Cai Zijun, "Hua'er, what do you have to say?" ”
"Dad, what should I do if I don't have enough money? You go to your mother's first to see how much silver she has, and how much is left missing? Can the rest of the money be accommodated with the gambling house? Can't be accommodating, can you borrow it?
Also, since the third brother made a big mistake this time, he should also learn a lesson, and his father should think of the conditions and let the third brother respond, otherwise, even if his fingers are cut off and his legs are broken, we will not pay back the gambling debt. ”
Cai Dazhu looked at his little girl with gentle eyes and nodded, "Hua'er reminds me that Dad knows, Dad will go to your mother's house to have a look." ”
Cai Dazhu got up and went back to the room, everyone in the hall looked at Cai Zijun, after this sister woke up from falling into the water, she changed, she became better, she knew that she cared about her family, she cared about this family, and she also knew how to use her brain, and she was no longer the stupid appearance that she used to only know how to eat and sleep.
Cai Zijun didn't care about the eyes of his brothers, looked at the sparrow meat and wine on the table, sighed and said, "It's a pity!" ”
"Sister, what is the pity?" Cai Qigui blinked at her.
"It's a pity that there is so much silver! How many delicious foods do you have to buy, how many flowers do you have to buy......"
All:......
I feel like my sister has gotten better in front of me, and it's their delusion that it's absolutely forced!
Cai Dazhu returned to the hall with a wooden box, gently put it on the table and pushed it to his eldest son, "Boss, you can order it." ”
Cai Qirong pursed his lips, reached out and opened the lid of the box, and poured out all the silver inside, there were three silver ingots of ten taels, and the others were broken silver, copper plates, and he nodded a little quickly, raised his head and was expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "Forty-five taels, with a hundred copper plates." ”
What is the use of a hundred copper plates, that is, there is still a shortage of five taels of silver!
Five taels of silver, no more and no less, but for a farmer like the Cai family, it is a year's worth of chewing.
Tian and Wang looked at the silver ingots on the table, their hearts were dripping blood, tears were flowing down, and they sobbed softly.
Cai Qirong has to hand over one or two pieces of silver to his family every month, it can be said that a large part of this silver is earned by the family, and when he thinks that the hard-earned money on this table will be sent out soon, Tian's heart hurts like a knife.
Watching the two sisters-in-law wipe their tears, Cai Zijun also sympathized with the two in her heart, she had just come through, and she didn't have a deep affection for this family, she didn't earn a point for this silver, and she couldn't empathize with them, but she could definitely understand their feelings.
"Dad, call the third brother in, whether this silver will be paid back for him or not, the key depends on his attitude!"
"Yes, my sister is right, if the third brother can't repent this time, he doesn't have to pay back the money." Cai Qigui also agreed.
Cai Dazhu nodded and shouted outside, "Tell the little beast to roll in for Lao Tzu!" ”
The people outside listened and knew that it was Cai Qifu, Scarface gave the person with the machete a look, and the person with the machete cut the rope on Cai Qifu's hand with a knife, loosened the tie for him, and threatened in his ear, "If you can't coax your family to repay this gambling debt today, today next year will be your death day!" ”
Cai Qirong's body trembled, and he said, "Master...... Don't dare, don't dare, no matter what conditions are put forward at home, I will accept and return the silver to you! ”
After speaking, he broke into the hall with a crawl, and as soon as he entered the house, he didn't need to be scolded by the people inside, so he kowtowed heavily to the two brothers and two sisters-in-law, and then knelt down towards Cai Dazhu, "Dad, brother, sister-in-law, little brother, little sister...... It's all to blame Qi Rong for being useless, provoked by others, and being calculated by others to end up like this, even affecting my father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, please believe me, this matter is only once, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, I swear, if such a thing happens again, I will let me thunder five thunders, and I will not die well, and I don't blame my father and sister for ignoring me. ”
