Chapter 35 Borrowing money
From afar, you can hear the third aunt's sharp tone from the voices of the people: "Ah, hey, it's so embarrassing, it's really cheeky." If you are the eldest brother, you will achieve nothing, and you will be poor and white. Your son can't talk about his daughter-in-law, so what kind of money did he come to my house to ask for? ”
"Huh? My family's money came from the tide of the South China Sea? Is my family's money flying from the sky? Ah, come and see, come and comment, look, what kind of big brother is this? Ding Juhua spread her hands and sprayed spittle Xingzi said to the people around her: "I bought a cheap piece of land a few days ago, and he looked red, so he came to ask me for money." I didn't give it, so he took a few dolls from the second family and collected my grain. That's it, huh? The house of the second family should be divided, and he also protects it, do you think I don't know your thoughts, this matter is dragging on, if any girl gets a son-in-law to come, this yard will also want to be divided, you are a good person, you naturally fall into the good, and the bad guys are all us!!
Okay, you're calculating, you should be too rich, right? What's the matter, my son got married, and he borrowed money to borrow money from me? If I don't give it, I won't give it. If you have the ability, you can earn it yourself! Aren't you always on the other side of those girls? Can you bear with you, don't come to me! Look at your poor and sour appearance, I'm sorry for the name my father gave you!! ”
Yue Fu stood at the door of his house, his face was black and red with anger, Wen He and Wen Hai didn't know whether he went out or hid in the house, and the eldest lady Zhao Lan was probably panicked and didn't come out. Only star fruit and rice peach surrounded Yue Fu on the left and right, and let the villagers disperse.
But if Ding Juhua is so fanned, how will the crowd disperse? On the contrary, they were even more energetic, and they all watched Ding Juhua spitting Xingzi there with great interest, and they lost the faces of the two families, all of which were the faces of the old Yue family.
Yue Fu had a dark face: "I didn't ask you for it, I just borrowed money, if you don't borrow it, what's the trouble?" ”
"You took advantage of my family's Yueji to get drunk and brought the money, and you were embarrassed to say that you were going to borrow it? You go and borrow it, why don't you look for me? Why are you looking for Yue Ji? They said they borrowed five taels of silver, but who knows if you took too much? Anyway, my Yueji doesn't know if he's drunk, can a person like you take advantage of it? Ding Juhua hung her eyes, pinched her waist, and glared at Yue Fu fiercely.
Because of the rumors and turmoil last time, Ding Juhua has been bored at home until now. There was an evil fire in his heart that he didn't know where to go, but unfortunately Yue Fu hit the muzzle. His eldest son, Wenhe, met some time ago, and the other party's girlfriend was good, and the requirements for money and property conditions were not high. Now this matter is basically settled, but even if the other party doesn't want much, he Yue Fu can't take it. In desperation, he had no choice but to borrow money from his third brother Yue Ji.
Who knew that Yue Ji was drunk and accidentally told Ding Juhua about it again, as soon as Ding Juhua knew about it, she didn't say a word, and ran to the door to make a fuss.
"When Yue Ji borrowed my money, he didn't drink, and he was very sober!!" Yue Fuqi's body trembled, so he had to hold on to the door frame: "I didn't ask for much money from your family, and I didn't take advantage of your family!" Yue Ji borrowed my five taels of silver, and I will pay it back as soon as possible. What are you doing here? ”
"What am I messing about?" Ding Juhua grinned sarcastically: "Ridiculous, my eldest brother, what do you say I am making trouble?" Didn't you hear what I just said? This money, I-don't borrow!! As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth viciously: "This matter will not be done without my consent!" I don't borrow, you hurry up and give me back the money!! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tilted his head to look at Yue Fu.
Yue Fuqi's mouth turned white: "The money has been used, where did the money come from to pay you back?" I borrowed money from my third brother, but after all, what's in your way? Why are you so unreasonable? ”
"I'm unreasonable?" Ding Juhua tilted her head and smiled: "Yes!! I'm just unreasonable, I just don't borrow, why can you sue me to the government? Which law says I have to lend you money? I can tell you, for the sake of my brother, I won't ask you for money today. If Ming'er doesn't get this money back, I will have to collect eight cents of interest. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of eight and eight: "One or two silver a day."
The benefit of the child is Bawen!! ”
The five taels of silver have been borrowed for several days, and now they have indeed been spent, dowry, shopping, tidying up the house, buying household belongings, spending more than four taels, and there are still a few hundred Wen left, and he is still worried that the banquet is not enough. How could I have thought that at this moment, Ding Juhua actually came to ask for money? She doesn't want it sooner or later, and now she has no money in her hand, how can she pay her back? If she pays back the money according to what she said, it will be a lot of money of forty yuan a day, and his family of four will not be able to earn forty yuan at the end of the day, which is ridiculous. Yue Fu was difficult to ride a tiger, his feet were unstable and he almost fell, but fortunately Yang Tao held him.
Mi Tao couldn't help but say: "One or two silver is a day's eight cents, and the usury is not so high, you might as well grab it!" ”
"Little girl, you don't have to be nosy." Ding Juhua glanced at Mi Tao up and down, and looked contemptuously: "If you have the ability, you will pay back the money for your uncle, if you don't have the ability, you can help the star fruit to support your uncle, and you have to pay back the money after all." Isn't your cotton peach a good scorer? Just ask her to calculate for your uncle, how much interest should be given on this day, when will this money be repaid, and how much money will be paid back to me. ”
"What an unreasonableness! Wait for my third uncle to come and speak! "How can Mi Tao say Ding Chrysanthemum? Angry staring.
The people around were talking about it, some persuaded Ding Juhua to calm down, some persuaded Yue Fu to hurry up and return the money not to mess with this shrew, and some knocked melon seeds to watch a good show. The movement became louder and louder, and even on the other side of the river, several people gathered to watch the excitement.
At this time, Wenhe and Wenhai came from the east with a stack of firewood on their backs, and when they saw this formation, they both ran over.
"Dad, what's going on?" Wenhe is not in a hurry, and asks the reason first.
Wen Hai couldn't take care of it so much, and when he saw that the third aunt was here, he understood eight or nine points in his heart, separated the crowd, jumped in front of Yue Fu in two steps, and turned around and glared at Ding Juhua: "What are you making trouble with?" "Seriously, if Ding Juhua wasn't his third aunt, he wouldn't care whose daughter-in-law she was, and who would have beaten her up a few times ago, how could he allow her to make trouble every three days?
"Hmph, I'm making trouble? I think it was because you three fathers and sons were poor and crazy that they came up with this withdrawal of my family's money, right? I don't care who you are, and I don't care what method you use, in short, if you don't get the money back today, you will start counting the profits tomorrow. Otherwise, we'll see you in the government!! ”
"You!" Wen Hai burst into a storm and wanted to make a move, so he asked Yue Fu to stop, and glared at him angrily: "You go into the house for me!" ”
"Daddy!!" Wenhai was unwilling
"Come in! Wenhe, pull him into the house! Yue Fu gasped, if the kid really dared to do it, it would be a big disrespect for a small crime. Besides, this matter is the fault of his own family, he shouldn't have borrowed money from Yue Ji. Yue Ji's kid, I promised that Ding Juhua would not know about this matter, but I didn't know that after drinking two taels of horse urine, I said everything.
Wen He responded and pulled Wen Hai into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door with his hand, and clinged to Yue Fu's side tightly. His eyes were a little gloomy, and his expression was drooping. All this was made for the purpose of marrying a wife for him.
"Dad......" Wen He hesitated: "Or ......"
"Or what? Can you get the money back? Can I return what I bought? Yue Fu glared at him: "You also enter the house." I have it. ”
"Ouch, listen, there's a way to do it? So do you want to pay back the money now, or do you want to start paying back the money tomorrow? There are so many folks to prove this, you can't rely on it!! Ding Juhua proudly hugged her arms.
"Chrysanthemum, he is your eldest brother after all" "Between brothers, why do you want to make trouble to this point?" "Yue Ji knows about this, and he still has to stand on his brother's side, so you can say a few words." The people around persuaded Ding Juhua.
Ding Juhua waved her hand impatiently: "What do you mean by eating radishes?" Do you want to pay him back? ”
The people around stopped talking.
Cherry plucked the bamboo basket containing the yam root on her back, and was about to step forward when she lifted her foot, and was gently pulled by the cotton peach.
"Third sister?" She looked back
Mian Tao's expression was faint, and her tone was soft: "Ying'er, you go and call the eldest sister over." ”
"Oh." Cherry wanted to ask why, but looking at Mian Tao's indifferent face, she felt that the third sister had always done things well, so there was no need to ask again. So he squeezed into the crowd and pulled the star fruit out.
"Mian'er, what are you looking for me?" The star fruit was dressed in a messy manner, looked at the crowd with an anxious expression, and said, "This will be messy and messy, you can quickly take the cherry home." ”
"Eldest sister, how much money do we have in savings?" Mian Tao didn't answer the rhetorical question, and asked the star fruit in a daze: "What do you ask about?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, our family should have four taels of silver now, right? If not, let's lend it to the uncle first. Mian Tao didn't wait for the star fruit to ask carefully, so she analyzed it: "The third aunt just came to make trouble because the uncle didn't pay the money, and she really went for the money." If the uncle doesn't pay the money, he will really have to pay back the money from tomorrow. Although it is not as high as Bawen, I don't think it will be lower than Erwen, which is not a small number. Besides, at the moment, except for us, I'm afraid no one can lend this money to the uncle, and if he can borrow it, he won't go to the third aunt's house to go to the troubled waters. Besides, it's still early to leave spring, and we still have a lot of time to think about making money, and during this time, Uncle can also pay some back. ”
Star fruit also wanted to borrow money, but I was worried that there would be nowhere to turn around for the spring next year. Asked Mian Tao to analyze it like this, she also felt reasonable, and nodded: "That's right." After all, it's still early in spring, so it's easy to say. And now that the third aunt is making trouble like this, the uncle doesn't want to drag it out, it's on the brows. ”
"Uncle should have some money left in his hand now, plus we will raise him three taels of silver, and the rest will be easy to do." Cherry also agreed. If it's like this, why care about anything else? Let's settle this matter first. My brother made a fuss like this, and I don't know how to laugh at people in the future. It is estimated that Ding Juhua is also in line with the rumors and turmoil anyway, she is notorious, it is better to stink again and again, not only can pull the uncle's family into the water, but also make some money to spend.
This woman, alas......
The three sisters discussed in a whisper, and suddenly a roar exploded in the ground: "You dead mother-in-law!" ”
It was Yue Ji who came, he was furious, and he ran here angrily, scolding in his mouth: "Fucked girls, I turned against you, I dare to do this, you are shameless, the old Yue family still needs this face!" ”
