"Yan'er, I'm ......" Xu saw that Xia Yan was a little annoyed, and Yan was a little nervous, "I'm just thinking about a big amount of 500,000 taels, how long will they be able to make it up?" I...... I just want to do my best to help them solve a little bit of difficulty. I don't have to worry about food and clothing all day long, and it is useless to keep so much silver in my hand for a while, and this silver is better for those who need it urgently. Didn't you say that saving the emergency is not helping the poor, this time it is really an urgent matter that burns the eyebrows, how can I watch your grandmother worry, and how can I watch you fall into misfortune slightly? ”

"...... you" Xia Yan looked at Yan with a smile, and really didn't know how to answer for a while.

What she said is right, the emergency is not to help the poor, but is it not because they have done their own evil?

Judging from Yan Yan's description just now, this prince didn't need 10,000 taels of silver to go to Beijing to take the exam, and he didn't know what he did with this silver Xia Yan didn't know, but he could guess that it must not be a good thing to see people.

In those days of the scientific examination, if you stay in the restaurant to prepare for the exam, it won't cost so much at all, even if you really make friends as he said, I'm afraid it won't take 10,000 taels.

Judging from the bloody routines he watched in the TV series, he either used this silver on women, or planted it on the word "gambling".

In addition, Xia Yan really couldn't think of anything that could be in a hurry to borrow loan sharks.

It doesn't matter what he does, none of this has anything to do with Xia Yan, and she doesn't know this person anyway.

But...... But the 10,000 taels of silver that she had lent out had earned with hard work.

Although she has already given this silver to the Yan family, it is so that she can have more money in her hands when she is not at home, so that she will not be reluctant to buy anything, and by the way, she can also send monthly gifts to the people in the family, how can she easily give it to such a stranger?

What's more, he said that he lent it to them, but Xia Yan estimated that they would never plan to pay it back.

In order to confirm his guess, Xia Yan asked Yan, "Mother, can Mrs. Xia give you an IOU?" ”

Hearing this question, Yan was obviously stunned, as if he suddenly knew that there should be such a thing, and he was stunned for a while: "Owe ...... Ious? It seems like...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

Sure enough, she was guessed by herself again, her mother is inevitably a little too simple, how can she not want such an important thing?

"Mother, can Mrs. Xia give IOUs to other villagers?" Xia Yan asked again.

"This ......" Yan lowered his head, as if he was remembering something, and raised his head after a while, "It seems to ...... It seems to be an IOU for them. ”

"Mother, why do everyone else have it, but only you don't?" Xia Yan was angry with Yan at the moment, not only did she not mean to be angry, but laughed, "Does she think you are easy to bully, or do she think you are too simple and easy to fool, or you haven't asked her for it at all, or ......"

Having said this, Xia Yan narrowed his eyes: "Or, is that the old lady not planning to return this ten thousand taels to you at all?" ”

"No, no, no, it can't be." Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "Your grandmother promised me that when this matter is over, she will definitely return the ten thousand taels of silver immediately." ”

"What if she can't breathe for the rest of her life." Xia Yan sneered, "If she doesn't want to pay back the money, there are a lot of excuses she can use." She can say that we are a family, and we are not in a hurry to return our money, we must pay back the villagers first, so that people will chase her and beg for it, which hurts the peace, but how will we know when she will be able to repay the money owed to the villagers? She can also say that she is old, her son is dead, she is missing, and she doesn't even have a person who can support her for the elderly, and those silver are the pension money you give her, as a daughter-in-law, it is only natural for you to give her silver for the elderly. She could even say ......"

When Xia Yan was about to continue, he was interrupted by Yan: "I...... I remembered that your grandmother was going to give me an IOU, but ...... But because there were too many villagers at that time, they were all waiting to get the IOU home, so I asked your grandfather to write it for them first. Later, I forgot about this time because I was so busy. When you mention it today, I think of it. Anyway, we are all a family, and what IOUs do you mention or not, your grandmother remembers them in her heart. ”

"Really? Then I'm really wrong to blame the good guys. Xia Yan smiled, but he didn't believe Yan's words at all.

Her red face, stammering tone, and dodgy eyes all told Xia Yan that her mother must be lying.

Her mother would never lie at all, and she had never lied in front of her, so how could she not be sad today to lie to her in order to protect the family.

"Mother, you're so stupid." Xia Yan muttered softly, but Yan didn't hear it.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Although Yan didn't hear Xia Yan's muttering, he saw her slightly disappointed face and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Mother, I'll ask you one last question." Xia Yan endured the grievances in her heart and forcibly cheered up, "Do you know how much silver that old lady has raised?" ”

Seeing that Xia Yan had regained his spirit at this moment, Yan only thought it was his illusion just now, so he didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "About twelve thousand taels." ”

"How much?" Xia Yan thought that he had heard it wrong, or that Yan had said it wrong, so he couldn't help but confirm it again.

Yan finally reacted at this time, and couldn't help but regret how he had told Xia Yan the amount so easily just now.

She didn't want to answer again, but in the face of Xia Yan's questioning eyes, she hesitated: "One ...... 12,000 taels. ”

One...... Ten thousand...... Two!

Xia Yan really didn't even have a trace of temper, wasn't this really joking with her?

Five years ago, there were more than 50 households in Bianxi Village, and in the past five years, not only has it not decreased, but it has increased much more than before.

Those who have just started a family, those who have separated from their families, and those who have a unique vision to move in to buy land before the wheat is sold, add up to nearly 100 households in Bianxi Village now.

Bianxi Village's Li Zheng can be worried, the village can use the land to grow wheat, the few left, have been used by the previous people to build houses, if Bianxi Village wants to add some more housing in the future, but really can't even buy it, after all, now one more acre of land will be one more acre of wheat, and you can earn more silver.

If a family really wants to build a house, they can only make up their minds from their own land. But no one is stupid, and the cultivated land that can earn money is now a rarity, and who will build a house on it?

So much so that now some people in Bianxi Village who want to be able to separate their families have also extinguished this thought, and would rather huddle together with all their families than be reluctant to occupy that little bit of land.

100 households, 100 households only raised 2,000 taels?

On average, it is only twenty taels per household?

Are they so poor?

How can it be?

To be honest, when Xia Yan heard this number, he was surprised and angry, but he was not surprised.

Mrs. Xia was powerful in the village many years ago, and she was not treated at all, and although she lost her arrogance, she also shrank in the house all day long and did not interact with the people in the village.

After planting wheat, the income of the vast majority of families in Bianxi Village is several times or even dozens of times higher than before, not to mention only 20 taels, even 200 taels is nothing to them today.

But there is not much affection between the neighbors, so they all know what kind of person Mrs. Xia is, and who is willing to lend her a large sum of money?

These twenty taels are estimated to be given because they really can't wipe off their face, I'm afraid they don't expect her to return it at all, it's better if she returns it, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, and twenty taels of silver can still buy a lot of good things, so there is the appearance of the IOU.

"Mother, borrow it." Xia Yan sighed, "Anyway, that's the silver for you, you can use it however you want." ”

It's not that Xia Yan agreed to lend the silver to Xia's mother, but that the wood is already in the boat, so what can she do if she opposes it?

Anyway, she didn't put the silver in the plan to redeem Xiaoyi, she originally planned to give Yan's pocket flowers, and since the matter has come to this, she will spend all the silver as her mother.

According to Yan's temperament, even if she doesn't give the silver to Xia's mother, she will lend it out again if she doesn't know who needs any money in the future.

Lending to someone is not borrowing, lending a brain to Xia Mu can simply end up with a reputation for filial piety, which can be regarded as a little benefit.

Xia Yan was helpless, and he couldn't lose his temper with Yan, so he could only comfort himself with these reasons.

It's not that she didn't want to get the silver back, but the Yan clan gave the silver out a few days ago, and the silver had already arrived in Xia Weiwei's hands after calculating the time.

went to ask Xia Mu for silver, but she couldn't take it out even if she smashed the pot and sold iron, and it was just a waste of effort to go.

Go directly to the door and ask Xia Weiwei for it?

According to Xia Yan's understanding of her, I am afraid that she will cry on the street that her niece has no conscience, and she is reluctant to even give up this little bit of silver, and she can't bear to watch her little aunt's family suffer from this.

This matter is extremely complicated, Xia Yan has to take a lot of time to explain to others, not to mention that if the movement is too big, how can she explain to so many people, is it difficult for her to hold a press conference to clarify this?

Not to mention whether there is such a thing in her world, and even if there is, she does not have the ability to organize all the people who hear the rumors together.

If this rumor spreads, I don't know what it can be adapted to, maybe it won't take a few days for her to become a heinous person.

In line with the idea that more things are better than less, Xia Yan decided to let herself forget about this matter, and the 10,000 taels should be given by her for her father Xia Xinhe, after all, it was his own sister.

Just when Xia Yan was making a decision in her heart, she saw Yan looking at her with a pleading face: "Yan'er, you must help me." ”
