(5) Debts must be repaid

It is said that although Zhao Wang's family does not know a single big character, he has no teacher, and he has learned a good skill of dancing gods to drive away ghosts and demons, and he has been in the township for decades, and he can be regarded as a well-known character, but he has really never met a powerful character like Zhang Qingting.

Zhao Wang's face was gloomy for the first time when he suffered such a big setback, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he stopped playing tricks, "I said the daughter of the Zhao family, do you want to regret your marriage?" ”

"If the marriage is not completed, how can you regret it?"

"Good! Count you ruthless! Zhao Wang stretched out his hand, "Then take it?" ”

"What?"

"Don't pretend to be confused! Since you want to repent of your marriage, you have to return our family's dowry, right? "Zhao Wang is not so stupid and incompetent, and he quickly grasped the core problem.

Zhang Facai is a good gambler, and everyone in the villagers knows that he can sell his children and daughters for two taels of silver. Although Zhang Dragonfly can make money, if she has money in her hands, she will not be forced to commit suicide by hanging the beam, seeing that half of this house has been hanged down, it should not be for others to see, it is really moving.

Zhang Qingting's face changed slightly, this old pious woman is really cunning enough! But when it comes to it, it's really your own fault.

Seeing that she was speechless, Zhao Wangshi became more and more proud, "I said that the daughter of the Zhang family, you don't recognize the marriage with my family, and our old Zhao family can't do the trick of forcing the cow to drink water, that's not interesting!" But one yard is one yard, and it is a sure fact that your family received our family's money, and there are villagers to testify. If you make trouble with the government, no matter how much rhetoric you have, you can't lift a single word! How? Don't have the money to pay back? Then you have to wait to get on our sedan chair and be my daughter-in-law! ”

Bah! Zhang Qingting thought to himself, if you become the daughter-in-law of your old pious woman, you will have to be stripped of a layer of skin!

She smiled hypocritically, "Isn't it just two taels of silver?" Worthy of the aunt's shouting here? If you owe you money, Zhang Facai will go if you turn around! ”

"Ouch! Girl, you are sensible, don't you know that the father and the son repay the debt? Your father will use you to pay off his debts. I don't care what kind of tricks your father and daughter collude with, and since I find you today, I should naturally ask you for money. These two taels of silver are not much, and they are not in your eyes, since you said it lightly, then take out the silver, right? ”

"I don't have any money now. In a few days, I will definitely return the amount! Zhang Qingting has already made up his mind and quickly patted his ass and left, this silver is owed by Zhang Facai, and the use of flowers is also their family's business, and it is none of her business to sell her sons and daughters, so send this old pious woman away first.

Zhao Wang seemed to see her thoughts, "I said the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, don't think about leaving, your family's population book has to be kept by me." Since you have promised me, then I must not agree with you on a date, lest you drag on for ten years and eight years, and then I will really have nowhere to complain! ”

This old pious woman is so scheming! The management system of the Northern and Southern Kangguo countries is much the same, and every household has a book, which records the population, the service of the land, and the payment of official taxes. If you collect the population book, you will not be able to open a way. If they are caught on the way, they will be treated as exiles, and they will be assigned to the frontier at the least, and they will be used as official slaves and official prostitutes, and they will never be able to turn over.

It seems that this run can't be run, Zhang Qingting quietly talked about the conditions, "Then it's limited to one month!" ”

"No way!" Zhao Wang's heart is embarrassed, "I'll give you three days, and if you don't pay back the money in three days, you will obediently marry into the gate of my Zhao family!" If you die or escape, your sister Zhang Xiaodie will marry in for you, and you will have to accompany a younger brother, the one named Jinbao, to work for my family for ten years! ”

Zhao Wang's family is already very familiar with the situation of the Zhang family, and when it comes to the conditions at this time, he has a purpose.

I thought it would scare Zhang Qingting, but I didn't expect her to nod very happily in agreement, "Okay!" That's up to you! ”

Anyway, it's not her brother and sister, whether it's dead or alive, what does it have to do with her?

Zhang Qingting thinks that it is none of his business and can hang high, but can he really be so wishful?

Sent away Zhao Wang's family, Zhang Jinbao snorted, and rushed out with a sad face, "My sister! My dear sister! How can you sell my brother and me like this! ”

"Big sister!" Zhang Xiaodie also pounced on her with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say the words to her lips, crying and crying, "That Aunt Zhao is a famous martyr in the whole Zalanburg, the girl is real, she really can't afford to provoke!" ”

Zhang Qingting glanced at the two of them with disgust, his voice was loud at this time, where did Fang Cai go?

Seeing that the sun was thin, and the smoke was curling, Zhang Qingting was hungry, "Hey! Don't cook yet! ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to eat, not only did the two people in front of him stop howling, but even Zhang Luo's two fourth and fifth brothers who were like skin monkeys showed their heads.

"Eldest sister, what are you going to eat tonight?" Zhang Jinbao asked with a smile, the expression was like two words engraved on Zhang Qingting's head, owner.

How do I know what to eat? Zhang Qingting couldn't see their expressions of eagerness, "What else is there at home?" ”

"There's nothing left at home." Zhang Jinbao told the truth, but his eyes kept looking at the eldest sister, and he didn't know how much money she still had hidden on her body, and what she had enough to eat.

Even when Zhang Qingting was unconscious, no one in the family dared to touch the money on her, the eldest sister has a very good memory, if it is short, she can starve the whole family for a day!

"And half an old pumpkin." Zhang Xiaodie remembers it more clearly than the second brother, "As long as you buy another pound of chestnut rice, it is enough to make porridge, and then pinch some green vegetables, and dinner is enough." ”

"You're a loser! Thinking about eating well all day long! Zhang Luoshi nagged, "A pound of chestnut rice costs ten yuan, and a pound of brown rice is only seven dollars, and there is a difference of three dollars here!" ”

"I'm going to pick vegetables!" A little farther away outside the courtyard wall, Zhang Facai, who ran back at some point, heard it clearly, and hurriedly climbed over the wall into the backyard and went to the field to pick vegetables.

Zhang Qingting glanced at the family coldly, and said to Zhang Jinbao, "You, go buy a pound of japonica rice porridge that is new this year." "No matter how poor this family is, you can still afford a pound, right?

Unexpectedly, there was just a sentence of japonica rice, but the eyes of the family were straight, and the saliva of Yinbao and ingots couldn't stop overflowing.

Seeing Zhang Jinbao stretching out his hand in front of her, Zhang Qingting glanced at him, Zhang Jinbao hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, give money." ”

"Don't you all have any money?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison and swore an oath, "Nothing!" ”

Zhang Qingting returned to touch his body, and there was a small money bag, which was fluttering, but there were only three copper plates inside. She rolled her eyes angrily, this dead female ghost is still a poor ghost! Why can't you leave a few more pennies for her before you die?

How did she know that the female ghost didn't want to treat herself badly before she died, so she took the money on her body to buy half a roast chicken to feast on, and it was already good to be able to remnant these three articles.

threw all the money to Zhang Jinbao, and the kid didn't know whether he was alive or dead, "Sister, do you still buy japonica rice?" ”

"You're a pig's brain!" Zhang Qingting couldn't bear to scold, "How much can you weigh if you pick the cheapest one!" ”

Zhang Jinbao ran away with the three pennies in his hand.

Zhang Qingting thought to himself, this meal is not good, and the food can no longer treat himself badly. personally moved to the edge of the vegetable garden, and after this inspection, my heart was even more cold.

Just a small bunch of thin green vegetables, wilting and cowering in the sunset, just like this family, neglected and malnourished.

Eating a bowl of porridge, Zhang Qingting sighed more often than the previous eighteen years combined. What is this that people eat? Her pigs eat better than this!

Zhang Xiaodie wondered in her heart, the eldest sister's bowl was still the best bowl for noodles, she was sure that there was not a grain of sand, but why did the eldest sister still have a bad face?

No one in the family dared to ask, silently each took a bowl to find a corner to eat, and scattered around the courtyard like birds and beasts.

Each of them is thinking about the question, where will they stay tonight?

Zhang Qingting obviously thought more than all of them, and they all thought deeply. Because after she barely drank the bowl of porridge, she began a new round of sighing.

She suddenly felt that the splendid bushes before were not so annoying, at least they were clean, warm, safe and comfortable, but now, there was not even a nest to shelter from the wind and rain.

Alas! Why is the life of the slave family so bitter!

Miss Zhang stretched out her hand pitifully: Is there a recommendation for rice? Remember to leave a few for the slaves!
