Chapter 25: You're Okay

"Pay it back?" I thought she was here for Lan Daya's business.

"Yes, it's to pay back!" Shi Shi said, and took out a stack of paper from his arms, "White paper and black letters, your father has pressed his finger print!" ”

And what's going on? Why didn't the original owner know? Lan Xiaoqing looked at Lan Erlang suspiciously: "Dad, is what my eldest mother said true?" ”

Lan Erlang shrank his head and didn't speak, but nodded weakly.

Lan Xiaoqing instantly frowned, and stretched out her hand towards the Shi clan: "I don't believe it, you can show it to me." ”

Shi Shi rolled his eyes, with an impatient expression: "I'll talk to your father about what you have to do, and I'll go on the side." ”

"If you want me to pay back the money, I can't read the IOU, and if you don't show it, you won't pay it back!" Lan Xiaoqing's attitude was even more horizontal than Shi's.

Shi Shi was angry, and glared at Lan Xiaoqing fiercely: "Okay, I'll show you, I heard that you went to the town and met a noble person who got a lot of reward, and just paid off the debt owed by your family." ”

Lan Xiaoqing didn't pay attention to anyone, and only hooked his palm towards Shi.

Shi was afraid that Lan Xiaoqing would ruin her IOU, so he didn't dare to give more, so he drew one out.

She knew that Lan Xiaoqing was literate, so she added: "The words on this are all handwritten by your father, don't think about repaying the debt." ”

Lan Xiaoqing glanced at the IOU, it was Lan Erlang's handwriting that was correct, and what was written was not how much money he owed Lan Dalang's family, but rice grain.

Lan Xiaoqing frowned, pulled Lan Erlang away and asked, "Dad, what's going on?" At the beginning, the family gave two acres of land to their family to plant, and said that they would harvest 30% of the grain for us every year. Every time we don't pay the food, we have to come to the door to ask for it, and every time you ask for it, you have to give them an IOU. ”

"I ......" Lan Erlang saw that Lan Xiaoqing's face was not good, so he wilted, "Qingqing, don't be angry first, don't blame your uncle's family for this." The year before last, my father went to Fucheng to take the exam and didn't have any cash, so I borrowed some from your uncle's house, you don't know, that was the money that their family planned to buy land, and then my father didn't get the exam and couldn't pay the silver, just, just, "

“…… Just mortgaged two acres of land to their family? ”

Lan Erlang nodded unexpectedly, and even added: "Signed, signed the deed." ”

“…… How much? "It must have been sold cheaply!

Sure enough, Lan Erlang weakly stretched out a hand.

"What?!" Lan Xiaoqing lowered her voice, "It's five taels!" Although our two fields are not good land, they can always be sold for six taels and one acres. ”

"......" Lan Erlang was so ashamed that his head was about to drop to his chest.

“…… Okay, I see. "The Shi family pit Lan Erlang for at least seven taels of silver, but the rice and grain they have asked the Shi family for over the years does not add up to the value of three taels of silver, and every time they go to ask for food, they have to go to great lengths to suffer insults, and the Shi family is still coming to collect debts?

But this white paper and black letters, the IOU was written by Lan Erlang, and the handprint was also pressed by Lan Erlang.

Lan Xiaoqing was angry for a while and pondered for a while, and suddenly came to mind.

"Dad," Lan Xiaoqing suddenly smiled at Lan Erlang, very sensible and gentle, "I don't see my aunt come to our house on weekdays, and it's really rare to come here today, so you have to go and get some water for your aunt to drink." ”

"Okay." Lan Erlang answered, and slowly swallowed and went home, he really didn't have the money to pay back, so he could delay it a little bit.

When Lan Erlang walked away, Lan Xiaoqing pretended to be 13 and dusted off the non-existent ash on his shoulder, a villain-style yin and yang weirdness: "By the way, is the aunt okay, wasn't she hit by the stone that flew in from the window just now?" ”
