Chapter VIII Two Clearings
"This is not Hansong's daughter-in-law, she is going to the town?"
"Hey, I just got two taels of silver from Wang Xiang yesterday, and I'm going to Huohuo today, why does this Mrs. Lin still keep her, if it were me, I would have given her a break."
"Hughed? After the divorce, she still has money for Han Song to marry another one, and who would be willing to marry and be widowed, and help raise children. ”
"Let's go and see what she's bought." The women who had done good things gathered up their work and followed.
Someone went directly to Wang Xiang's house and told her the news, as for the real thoughts, naturally she wanted to be angry, and she was the happiest to see others deflated.
Who made Wang Xiang unpopular in the village, her good show naturally has people who like to watch.
Bu Linglong kept walking towards her own thatched hut, as for the string of tails behind her, they loved to follow, if she talked to them, it would be unpleasant for herself.
Soon she returned to her home, and the four grandmothers and grandchildren in the yard were stunned for a while when they saw Bu Linglong. "I'm back."
Mrs. Lin smiled and was about to reach out for a hand.
"Well, no, you close the door." Bu Linglong let go of the position behind her, just revealing the women who were reading gossip outside the door.
As soon as Mrs. Lin saw the villagers outside the door, she frowned, and quickly closed the door, blocking the sight outside the door.
"Let's go, let's go inside." Bu Linglong kept walking towards the hall and put down the bamboo basket.
"Drink water." Dabao placed a bowl of water on the table.
She gave meat to her brothers and grandmother, and he had to do what he had promised.
"Well, I bought some things, here are three taels of silver, and twenty wen as interest, you can ask the village chief to come forward and pay them back together. There are eighty-nine texts left here, I will give you fifty texts, and I will keep the rest. Bu Linglong put the money on the table and pushed it in front of the old lady.
"Where did you get all that money?" The old lady was so shocked that she didn't dare to touch the money on the table.
"Two taels of them are yesterday's compensation, and these two are the money I used to sell herbs and game, and they are all coming from the right way, so you can rest assured that you can collect them." Bu Linglong explained the source of the money, and she knew that if she didn't explain, the old lady wouldn't accept it.
"You...... You entered the mountain, Linglong, you promised your mother not to go in the future, the mountain is too dangerous, Han Song disappeared because of entering the mountain, don't let me worry about it. When the old lady thought that she had obtained the money from entering the mountain, she was very upset, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I didn't go in, it's on the periphery, I know it's dangerous in the mountains." Mother she can't scream now, she won't comfort people, crying in the last days is the most hypocritical thing, in that era tears were a luxury thing.
"Really?" The old lady listened to Bu Linglong's words, so she didn't continue to cry.
"Not really. I promise. In order to reassure her, Bu Linglong didn't plan to go into the mountain again during this time, lest the old lady cry again.
"I believe in you. I will accept this money, you take it, and you will be responsible for this family in the future. "The old lady has passed today's delicate performance, and she plans to try again and continue to hand over the power of the family to her.
Wang Xiang learned the news, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, let his eldest son come to Lao Su's house on his back, "Bu Linglong, you little cheap hoof, you have money to buy things and no money to pay off debts, my family's three taels of silver quickly return it to me." ”
This time, Wang Xiang did not make a stupid mistake, and directly let his son break into the door, but lay on the back of his eldest son, and shouted arrogantly into the yard.
Wang Xiang's impact on Mrs. Lin and the three children was still quite big, and when she heard her sharp voice, her body trembled involuntarily.
"Dabao, you go to the village chief and come over, I'll take a look." Bu Linglong glanced at Dabao, although the little guy was afraid, his eyes were very firm, he nodded, and slipped out under the cover of Bu Linglong.
"Little slut, hurry up and pay me back." Wang Xiang felt that he was right, and his tone was very impulsive, and he forgot how he was taught a lesson yesterday.
"Pay back, I didn't think about repaying the debt, why, I forgot yesterday's lesson?" Bu Linglong stared at Wang Xiang coldly, and a sneer was hooked at the corner of her mouth.
Referring to yesterday, Wang Xiang couldn't help but tremble, how could she forget yesterday's lesson, this was the first time she had kicked the iron plate in so many years, but even so, she still stiffened her neck and glared back, "I came to collect debts today, what can you do to me." ”
"Snort...... You're so angry, please forgive me for being rare and weird, I won't be in the future. "It turns out that scolding other people's little sluts is a good voice and anger, she understands, and she will call her an old slut in the future.
"Don't you just pay back, I won't pay the bills, although I'm not a good person, but I don't owe money and don't pay it back. Pay the money in one hand and the IOU in the other. Bu Linglong put the silver money in the palm of her hand and worried back and forth in front of Wang Xiang, so that she could see it but couldn't get it.
Wang Xiang's eyes went up and down with the silver, and he couldn't wait to immediately put the money into his arms.
"You wait, I'...... I'll go get the IOU right away. She saw the money as real, and she didn't know where the little slut got the money, but for now she only cared about whether she could get it back.
"Second, second, hurry up and get me the IOU." Wang Xiang yelled, Su Dahe turned around and went into the house to get the IOU, and after a while, he handed the IOU to his mother.
Wang Xiang raised the IOU towards Bu Linglong, and said loudly: "No, the IOU is here, bring the money." ”
"Dabao, slow down, slow down." The village chief came to the door of Su's house out of breath, and as soon as he stopped to catch his breath, he saw a group of people blocking the door of Hansong's house.
"What are you doing, what are you doing here?" The village chief couldn't take a breath, his brows furrowed slightly, and he yelled in displeasure.
Everyone is idle in a panic, their own family is not full of food and clothing, where do they come from to come to see the excitement of other homes.
"Village Chief."
"Village Chief."
“……”
Seeing the lively group of people, they were suddenly coaxed, leaving, they couldn't go, they stayed, and they were afraid of being taught a lesson by the village chief, which made them very embarrassed now!
"Dabao, what did you ask the village chief and grandfather to come over?" The little guy didn't say what it was, but said that he would invite himself to his house.
"I don't know, village chief grandpa, you asked...... "Dabao is so entangled, I don't know what to call Bu Linglong."
"Uncle Village Chief, I asked Dabao to find you, thank you for this trip, I have something I need you to testify." Bu Linglong paused as she spoke, and glanced at Wang Xiang, "I don't believe in some people's character, so as not to be confused in the future." ”
They are all from the same village, and they are all with the same surname, his family is still related to the Hansong family, his father and Hansong's father are cousins, that is, his cousin went early, if it weren't for Hansong's power, I'm afraid that orphans and widows don't know how to be bullied.
He has no contact with this cousin and daughter-in-law, but he has only heard some of her remarks about her, and his impression of her comes from his mother-in-law.
In any case, as the village head, some things are inevitable.
"Tell me, what is it?" The village chief said in a light tone.
"Presumably the village chief also heard that my mother borrowed money from Wang Xiang, I just thought that more things are better than less, and I will pay back the money today, just ask you to be a witness to repay the money, so as not to mention this matter again and again in the future, making our family seem to owe her family."
Bu Linglong looks down on Wang Xiang's approach very much, but this era is like this, she didn't care about it before, and with her in the future, the Su family will only go to the next level, so what can be cleared up is still wiped out, people like Wang Xiang are involved with her, and there will only be more and more troubles in the future.
The village chief glanced at Bu Linglong and nodded, "It's simple. I agreed. ”
"I'm relieved to have your words. There are a total of 320 Wen here, and these 20 Wen should be the interest on the money borrowed this month, and from now on, we will be clear between the two families, and don't mention this matter again if there is anything to do. ”
Bu Linglong handed over the three taels and twenty wen to the village chief, "The IOU is bothering the village chief, you can help destroy it." ”
The village chief's heart was full of doubts, he heard the women in the village talk about Bu Linglong from time to time, and they had a very bad impression of her, saying that she abused the children and punched and kicked her mother-in-law.
When I saw it today, it was not what those people said at all, and their performance from beginning to end was remarkable, which made people shine.
But soon he suppressed the doubts in his heart, took the silver taels, handed over the money in one hand and took the IOU in the other, and tore the IOU to shreds in front of everyone.
"The big tree family, don't mention the Hansong family's arrears in the future, that's all."
The village chief glanced at Wang Xiang with a slightly warning look in his eyes.
Wang Xiang, who is rampant in this village, only when facing the village chief, the patriarch and some clan elders, she will be like a quail, wishing that all the people could not see her existence.
No, the village chief's eyes paused a little when she looked at her, and her eyes began to drift away, not daring to look at the village chief, as for the village chief's words, where did she dare to refute, she could only nod indiscriminately!
"Thank you village chief, sit inside for a while and have a cup of tea." Bu Linglong invited the village chief into the house and sat down for a while.
"No need, there's something going on at home." Orphans and widows, he's not a big man who is not suitable to come to the door, otherwise he doesn't know what crazy words will come out. "It's all scattered, scattered."
"Dabao, if you have something, go to the village chief's grandfather to know?" When the village chief was to Dabao, he seemed amiable.
"Thank you, village chief, grandpa." Dabao smiled and thanked the village chief.
"Well, let's go back to the house." The village chief rubbed Dabao's head and turned to go back.
As soon as the village chief left, Wang Xiang urged his eldest son to leave quickly, as if a big insect was chasing after him.
Wang Xiang left, and Bu Linglong closed the door, cutting off all sight.
The scene of the Su family happened to be seen by several ruffians in the village, and they began to think about whether to go to the Su family to steal something.
They also heard about yesterday's incident, they just promised to pay back the money yesterday, and they got the money today, it seems that the Su family is going to send it.
"Dog, I'm afraid this Su family is going to send it."
Dogan glanced sideways at the speaker, "I'm not blind." ”
"Then do you think we should go......" The thin monkey smiled a little wickedly and looked at the dog.
The dog looked at the closed door of the Su family, "The money has been returned, is there anything left?" ”
"Why can't you, you didn't see that when she gave the money to the village chief, she didn't blink her eyes, and her face was very calm, I suspect they still have money." Thin Monkey felt that the Su family must still have hidden money.
Dogan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then tonight." ”
