Chapter 226: Paying Off Debts
"Oh, there used to be another person, so what do you remember him like?" Liu Man'er looked at Ye Tianchen and teased.
These flowers and plants were all found by Ye Yuan from the mountain, and she picked them with him, and now they are blooming vigorously, but the people are nowhere to be found.
Liu Man'er felt that these flowers and plants were also very spiritual things, in the previous life, her neighbor's grandmother raised a clump of moon seasons, some years, every year is in full bloom, but then the old grandmother died, and the flowers she raised also died.
"Tall, I forgot what he looked like." Ye Tianchen scratched his head, still thinking desperately, but after all, he was too young to remember.
Liu Man'er smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you before, that's your father." ”
"Oh, it's Daddy, why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" Ye Tianchen raised his face and asked puzzledly.
"He's out there defending the country, and he can't come back for the time being, but when you grow up, he'll come back." Liu Man'er coaxed.
"Oh." Ye Tianchen nodded, and he didn't dwell on this issue, anyway, he was not impressed by Ye Yuan, and he was soon attracted by a flying flower butterfly.
"Butterflies, butterflies." He screamed in his mouth, running to chase butterflies, Liu Man'er looked at his figure gradually running away, shook his head helplessly, and lowered his head, and the soft in his arms fell asleep unconsciously.
carried Rourou to the chaise longue in the study, found a scarf for her to cover, and Liu Man'er also sat in the study to rest for a while.
This study is her renovated living room, with a few chaise longues outside, and a blanket and a pillow made by her, soft and comfortable.
Because Aunt Han's family often comes over to do hygiene, it is also clean.
It's just that Liu Man'er didn't dare to sit for a long time, she was not a diligent person, if she had been sitting in such a comfortable place, she was worried that she would be greedy for comfort, so after sitting for a while, she stood up again, took out a pair of scissors from the house, and went around pruning the flower branches.
In fact, there is nothing to prune these flowers, and they grow like this, which seems to be very good, but she still prunes some branches and leaves, and inserts them in the ground, so that she can have one more flower.
After eating at noon, there were some guests at home, all of whom were familiar neighbors, such as Aunt Chunhua, and some of them used to work in Liu Man'er's small workshop.
To be honest, Liu Man'er has been thinking about opening her small handmade workshop before, but she has never had time, not to mention, she is now doing printing is more profitable than opening this small handmade workshop, and the gadgets she made in the past have many imitations, and they are already a little outdated, if she opens it again, she has to think of a lot of new tricks, so she didn't answer them for a while.
It was the Fang family, seeing that Liu Man'er didn't answer, so he changed the topic, everyone cheered for home, and it was also good.
Liu Man'er was not familiar with these aunts, and after saying a few words, she excused herself to get up to feed the child and left the hall. Seeing Liu Man'er leaving, these aunts all pulled the Fang family and asked her how it felt to live in the county, and asked her what the county was like, and whether it was very prosperous.
Because they all knew that the Ye family owed the money to the landlord Wang, they inquired with the Fang family again, and the money she owed was not repaid, and they saw that the Fang family was dressed well, and the water color on her face was not bad, and they were envious of her, but they were a little gloating when they thought that she owed usury.
Although some people care about her on the face, they always wish that she would not be able to repay her debts by the time of the time and live a miserable life of slavery and maidservants.
"I said, sister, although you have food and clothing now, and you are doing well, but what about the end of the year? Don't look at the king and landlord who is smiling on weekdays, in fact, he is ruthless, if you can't pay off the debts at that time, he won't care who you are, don't say that your son is a showman, a general, even if your son is the king of heaven, he will not be ruthless. ”
"Yes, I heard that once upon a time, there was a family that owed a debt to the landlord of the king, and a house of people was sold by the landlord, and the women of that family were even sold to brothels and other pickled land, you say pitiful."
"Okay, don't talk about it, it's all someone else's private matter." Aunt Chunhua heard them getting farther and farther away, so she said: "You can't pay it back, but it doesn't mean that others can't pay it back, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat." ”
"I'm doing this for the good of my sister, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say this, don't you say?" Aunt Guihua, the old neighbor of Liu Man'er's family, said while eating the pastries that the Fang family bought from the county seat: "Well, this pastry is quite good, it should be quite expensive, you owe debts, and you are so wasteful, this is really a good life to get used to." ”
If Liu Man'er is still here, maybe she will get angry and drive out all these people who say cool things.
Fang Shi also frowned slightly when she heard the words of these people, although she was no longer worried about these debts, but when she heard them say this, she was still a little unhappy in her heart, so she said: "Thanks to you, we can already pay off these debts, not to mention what will happen if the landlord comes to ask for accounts at the end of the year, even if he comes now, I am not afraid." ”
"Yes, you know that other people's pastries are expensive, and you still eat them like this, are you embarrassed?" Aunt Chunhua couldn't help but say on the side.
"Oh, aren't we just talking, the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, and they all owe so much money anyway, what if we eat a little more?" Aunt Osmanthus said while eating.
Fang's brows furrowed even deeper, she didn't know when these people had become like this, maybe they were used to it before. Recently, I went to the county seat for a few months, and I stayed away from these rights and wrongs, and now when I go home, she only feels annoying to these women who tell people right and wrong all day long, but she can't like it anymore.
"Oh, uninvited, uninvited." While the women were eating, a loud voice came from afar.
Fang's probe saw that it was the landlord Wang.
Aunt Han followed behind the landlord Wang and shouted, "Mother, old lady, landlord Wang is here." ”
"Listen, the old lady, tsk tsk, Ruyi, you are really happy with your life."
Aunt Osmanthus began to chatter again, she had a conflict with Liu Man'er before, and now she heard that the Fang family was back, and she came over to see if she was cheap, but she took advantage of it, and she had to sell well, and she ate other people's food, and she didn't spare people.
"Of course, my mother has food and clothing now, isn't her life satisfactory." Liu Man'er heard the shouting of the landlord Wang, walked out with the child in her arms, and happened to hear the voice of Aunt Osmanthus, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Although it is said that it is thanks to the blessing of the landlord and borrowed a little money, but I believe that the landlord's money is not something that anyone can borrow, landlord Wang, you say yes?" ”
"Of course." Landlord Wang entered the house with a big belly, after Aunt Han beckoned him to sit down, she served him tea, he took a sip and said with a smile: "I absolutely believe in the credibility of the Ye family, of course, if you want to borrow money from me, you can do it, it's no problem." ”
"Ten taels and eight taels, ah, you are really generous." Aunt Osmanthus and the other women hurriedly flattered, "I don't know how much money the Ye family borrowed from you?" I heard that it was a thousand taels. ”
"Hmm." The landlord nodded, and he didn't really want to talk nonsense with these women.
Some women with eyes stood up and wanted to say goodbye to the Fang clan and leave, but some of them didn't leave as if their buttocks had been nailed by nails, just to see the excitement.
They all know the intention of this landlord, isn't it just to collect the debt, there is a good show to watch now, they all want to see if the Ye family can pay off the money, this is a thousand taels of silver, look at how Ye Liu's idiot should end!
Liu Man'er knew the intention of the landlord Wang, although he kept saying that he trusted the Ye family very much, but if he really trusted, he would not come back by himself, he would come over with a blank eye, and he was still afraid that Liu Man'er would really go back.
"I came today, and I didn't have any other meaning, just to come and sit casually." Wang Landlord said with a smile, "In addition, I said that I would repay the debt at the end of the year, and now a quarter of the year has passed, if you can, pay me a quarter first." ”
"If you bring the IOU, I'll give it all back to you." Liu Man'er said as she handed the child to Fang's and took out a large stack of silver tickets from her arms.
Those women who were originally going to leave, seeing that Liu Man'er and the landlord Wang did not shy away from them, were also curious, so they simply sat down.
How could these women have seen so much money, and their eyes are red when they see it now.

Landlord Wang was also a little surprised to see Liu Man'er take out the money so quickly, it's only been a few months, isn't this Ye Liu's family making a lot of money outside? Or is her dead ghost husband back?
"It's okay, I brought the IOU, but if it's inconvenient, I can pay back five hundred taels first." The landlord said with a smile.
"No, pay it all off." Liu Man'er said, "I borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from you in October last year, and now it's only half a year, according to what is written on the IOU, I can pay you back 1,500 taels." ”
"I'm afraid this is a little unreasonable." The landlord said leisurely.
"Unreasonable?" Liu Man'er looked at the eyes of the landlord Wang, revealing a cold light, "Landlord Wang, what do you think is unreasonable?" ”
Her voice was extremely cold, and the landlord scolded secretly in his heart, thought about it, and felt that the other five hundred taels of interest would be enough, after all, the time had not come.
Besides, she had earned five hundred taels of silver in only half a year, and she should be content, no matter what, she was able to get enough silver in a short period of time, which was enough to show her ability, and it would not be worth it if she offended them to death.
