Chapter 172: Shanyang Village wants to borrow money
A person almost ran into Hujia Village crying, but was still stopped by a group of village elders at the entrance of the village. Since the previous Blood Rain Pavilion incident, the people of Hujia Village have become much more cautious, and they have become more vigilant against unfamiliar faces.
"Stop, what are you doing?!" The old man glared at him, and his tone was very sharp.
It was a young man of about twenty, his clothes were patched, and he looked like an ordinary poor man.
The face is yellow and thin, and the steps are vain, as if he has been hungry for a long time.
But those eyes were exceptionally bright.
When the man heard the words of the old horse, he shrank slightly, but he still wiped his tears, smiled and said, "I'm here to find the old Wang family, I don't know if any of them are at home?" ”
These words made the old man of the horse clan even more vigilant: "What are you asking about the old Wang family?" Where are you? What for? Make it clear! ”
The others also got up from the rocks and slowly surrounded the young man.
In this battle, as if he was going to say something bad, he would have to be beaten.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person!" The young man hurriedly said, "I'm from Shanyang Village!" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces became even more unkind.
The ones they hate the most now, in addition to the inexplicable people before, followed by those in Shanyang Village.
No, Shanyang Village is not a hate, it is a living disgust.
A bunch of inhumane brutes, I feel bad luck just thinking about them!
"You still have the face? Get out of here! The crutches in Mrs. Hu's hand were raised, and she was about to fight.
The young man's pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously dodged it.
He finally knew why the people in the village asked him to come, probably because he was young and hid quickly.
Even if you can't dodge and have to be beaten, at least your body is young and you can bear it.
"I'm not here to find fault!" The young man shouted, "I'm here to beg you for mercy!" ”
After speaking, the young man knelt down in front of everyone, and there was no discoloration on his face.
"This year's conscription has come down, and our village has been transferred to 30 households, and we were sentenced to give your village a requisition, and we will add 30 more households......
Only then did the people of Hujia Village remember that the annual conscription should be during this time, but they usually wait until after the rice planting is over, and that is really the work that should be done in the spring, and the conscription often occurs at this time.
Now that there are still a few days before the rice planting, the conscription has begun.
And they didn't get any notice, and they forgot about it.
Village Chief Hu naturally got the letter, but their village did not have to pay the spring tax during this period of time, and they did not have to participate in forced labor, so naturally there was no need to tell the people in the village.
It turned out that the young man had really come to beg for mercy.
He said that those in his village who had eaten the dolls had now been kicked out.
Some people have been tossed to death, and they naturally hate the ruthless and unrighteous Hujia Village, while the rest of the people naturally have no good impression of Hujia Village.
In their opinion, the people of Hujia Village are too unkind, and they will turn their faces like this with them for the sake of a doll.
During this time, the funerals in Shanyang Village have not stopped, and there are always people who can't resist and die.
If it weren't for Hujiacun's insistence on being more serious, and later reporting to the officials, how could they have such a big loss?
In short, it's all Hujiacun's fault!
Of course, the young man did not say these words, but only told the tragic situation of his own village.
The old man of the horse clan still looked at the young man with scrutiny, and he didn't sympathize with them at all: "This is your own fault, no wonder others." You're here now, just to complain? So are you done talking nonsense? When you're done, get out! ”
Young man: "...... No. ”
After a pause, he asked, "I'm here to find Lao Wang's family today." ”
At this time, Wang Chuanfu happened to come back from Dahe Village, and he went to see the rented land in Dahe Village.
"What are you looking for in our house?" When Wang Chuanfu heard the young man's words, he couldn't help but be curious.
This person, he doesn't seem to have seen it, where did he come from?
The young man learned that Wang Chuanfu was from the old Wang family, and immediately knelt down towards Wang Chuanfu.
With that smooth and neat movement, it's hard not to suspect that he has practiced many times at home.
"Have mercy and help us!" The young man burst into tears.
At this time, some people made a long story short and told Wang Chuanfu about the conscription.
Wang Chuanfu wondered: "Isn't this the official's sentence?" Do you still want to pay your debts? ”
The young man shook his head: "No, no, no, we don't dare to repay the debt, and we will be sentenced to forced labor, and we will admit it." But we don't have a lot of strong laborers in our village, and we have to plant rice every few days, how can we have manpower? It was only a month or two after the conscription was gone, and I don't know if I would have the life to come back. ”
Speaking of this, the young man looked at Wang Chuanfu's expression, and there was no obvious impatience, and he continued: "But the conscription can be offset, and it can be done with silver." We heard that Lao Wang's family has made a fortune, they have bought a house in the town, and they have also opened a bun shop, your family should be very rich, right? Can, can you lend us something? ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a cool breath.
Why was he embarrassed to say it?!
The old man of the horse clan snorted loudly: "Your face is thicker than the turn of the city wall!" Your village owes our village a debt, but you haven't paid it back! Are you embarrassed to borrow money? How big is the face? Who gave you courage? ”
"We're not...... I don't have any money. Who doesn't want to pay off their debts if they have money? The young man's tone weakened, "The old Wang family has money now, and it won't hurt us at all to borrow us, if we don't have money, it's fatal......"
Even the honest man Wang Chuanfu was laughed at angrily.
"Why do you think that our old Wang family will lend you money?"
He was really curious how these people came up with this.
The young man said, "They all say that your old Wang family is the most kind......
In fact, this is not tenable at all, and the young man has been taught how to say it countless times before he comes.
even asked him to threaten the people of the old Wang family that if they didn't borrow money, they would go to their bun shop to make trouble.
Let's see how they still open their stores.
But the young man felt that if he had said it, he might have to be beaten to death here today.
The people of Hujia Village are unexpectedly united.
They didn't plan to sit idly by at all, they regarded the old Wang family as a person from Hujia Village, and they were not at all like the old man in the village said, they were very repulsive to outsiders.
In the end, the young man was beaten away by Old Lady Hu's crutches, he was angry and aggrieved, and his eyes were full of hatred before leaving.
"Shanyang Village is completely crooked, and having such a group of people next to it is afraid that it is not good for the village." Old Lady Hu said in a deep tone, "I'm afraid that they will break the jar." ”
The elder of the Ma clan took a deep breath: "From today on, our village will organize some young people to take turns guarding at the entrance of the village, preferably at night, and no one else will be released to the village." ”
Wang Chuanfu also realized that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.
"I always feel that those people in Shanyang Village have bad intentions, and it is a young man who came today, but I can't guarantee that the whole village thinks so." Wang Chuanfu's face was not very good-looking, "Otherwise, I'll go to the town and ask my father and mother what they mean." ”
It's impossible to borrow money, but you have to ask how to deal with it.
Old lady Hu said: "You can't hide the fact that your family opened a bun shop in the town, but no one from other villages should know about your house buying a house." I'm afraid that if it weren't for the long-tongued women in our village, these people would have to find out and cure them! ”
Don't know when, I don't know if I sell their village.
