Chapter 76: Trick People
Most of the villagers said yes, but some people said that five hundred taels was too much, and the Xu family couldn't afford to pay at all, so it was better to pay less. Liu Guiyuan looked at the people who said such things, knowing that they were not members, and deliberately said these sour words, so he smiled and said:
"Thirty members, we are missing one, and my family has to recruit four more people, do you want to sign up? Hey, as long as you can keep it confidential and knit sweaters at home, this money is not easy to come by? ”
Sure enough, the villagers who just said that they would lose too much 500 taels immediately changed their tone and said that they wanted to join the club and learn to knit sweaters from the Liu family. That is, who doesn't want to make more money than watching the excitement?
"If you want to join the club or find Aunt Li, she is a person I believe in, like this incident of Xu Liangyin's family today, I believe it is just accidental, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, isn't it?" Liu Guiyuan looked at Li Xiuyun and nodded at her.
"Chief Tian, it's cold outside, let's go back first, as for Xu Liangyin's family, they are all villagers in the township, give him three days to make up enough five hundred taels first, otherwise he can only see the official." Liu Guiyuan was tired of Xu Liangyin's family, and didn't want to talk nonsense with them, he just wanted to treat them severely.
"Then, Guiyuan girl, it is impossible for them to take out five hundred taels, you see this......" Tian Village Chief didn't want to go to the step of seeing officials, after all, they were all from the village, and if they really wanted to see officials, they might not even have their lives.
"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, who let them leak their secrets? Besides, if I don't fine them with these dollars, how much is the appropriate fine? One hundred, fifty or twenty? If the penalty is less or no punishment, other members will follow suit in the future, so what is the use of signing this confidentiality agreement? ”
Liu Guiyuan is not not not giving face to the head of Tamura, but she let go of Xu Liangyin's family this time, and next time there will be other members of the club to follow suit, then her sweater club will not be able to do it sooner or later, so this time, she must not be soft-hearted.
Seeing that the three sisters of Liu Guiyuan were really gone, Xu Liangyin pleaded behind him with a wooden face: "Liu family girl, my family really doesn't have five hundred taels, please raise your noble hand and spare us this time, I can kneel down for you?" ”
With a plop, Xu Liangyin knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to the three sisters of the Liu family, and his woman Zhou Caidie got up from the ground and knelt beside her man, crying and shouting to beg them for forgiveness, "This time it's my family's mistake, we don't dare anymore, Liu family girl, you can let our family go." ”
The two of them cried with tears, and they both knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, especially Xu Liangyin, who relied on his own cleverness, kneeling and crawling in front of Liu Guiyuan and a few people, and deliberately said: "Don't talk about my family for five hundred taels, even the village chief's family can't earn this amount, and the Liu family has three girls." Are you watching our family die? ”
Liu Hongjube was so angry because of Xu Liangyin's strong words that he couldn't speak anymore after only saying the word "you", and Liu Huahua just pointed at Xu Liangyin and scolded: "Then according to what you say, this matter is settled, and you are justified in violating the agreement?" ”
Xu Liangyin didn't answer her words head-on, but just shouted with a stiff neck: "For a few sweaters, your Liu family wants to force us to death, and ask us to pay five hundred taels, and we can't pay even if we sell ourselves." ”
Liu Guiyuan turned around violently and stared at Xu Liangyin, who was about to die, she originally wanted to dry the two of them, so that they would be frightened, and then come forward to punish and admonish, I don't want this Xu Liangyin to be a bad person, in front of the villagers, I want to have a moral kidnapping.
At this moment, more than 20 villagers around were looking at them, Liu Guiyuan looked around at everyone, and soon had an idea, and said loudly to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, you see that if this is the case, Xu Liangyin's family will damage the interests of our sweater club, why don't you call the people of our sweater club and discuss how to punish them yourself, what do you think?" ”
The villagers nodded their heads one after another, saying that this was a good idea, and the village chief Tian Youren also felt comfortable, and stood up and said: "Since this is a matter in their society, let their members discuss it by themselves, Xu Liangyin, you can ask for more blessings." ”
Since the village chief had spoken, and the villagers did not disagree, Liu Guiyuan immediately convened a meeting of the members of the sweater club to discuss how to deal with Xu Liangyin's family's violation of the confidentiality agreement.
The door of Liu's courtyard was wide open, and more than 30 members of the sweater club came, either standing or sitting in the courtyard of the house, all curious about Liu Guiyuan's thoughts and the disposal plan for Xu Liangyin's family.
"Originally, I really wanted to punish Xu Liangyin's family, but he knelt on the ground and begged me, what can I do? We are all from the village, and if we don't look up and look down, can we really drive people to a dead end? ”
Liu Guiyuan summoned a group of members and started his speech, and the members below listened to the reason, and praised Liu Guiyuan's kindness, but she said: "Having said that, Xu Liangyin's family did make a mistake, is it not punished at all, so let him encroach on our interests?" Think about it, if his sister found a buyer in town and learned how to make money by knitting sweaters, would you still be able to make that money? ”
Everyone was whispering, and then the fourth grandmother was the first to speak, saying: "Xu Liangyin and his family are really doing too much, he just thinks about making money for himself, and completely ignores us, I think they will have some blood this time, how about paying twenty taels of silver?" ”
Twenty taels of silver is a lot for the Zhuang family, but for the five hundred taels set by Liu Guiyuan, there is a world of difference between the two.
Liu Guiyuan saw that everyone did not object, so he proposed: "It's not enough to just pay for silver, I'm afraid that his family doesn't have a long memory, I think it's better to punish him for work, and after the beginning of spring, water wheat for each of our families, and the punishment will be in place after watering, what do you think?" ”
"If I think it's okay, I have to fine us to work, otherwise he will commit another crime next time." Gu Shi echoed.
"Mother, there's no next time, Xu Liangyin's family is not a member of our club anymore, and Guiyuan has already said it." Liu Jindi hurriedly reminded her.
"Then if you have no objections, I'll talk to Xu Liangyin's family?" Liu Guiyuan asked everyone's opinions again, and saw that none of them spoke.
With a plan in his heart, he opened the door of his courtyard and told the Xu family, who were still waiting outside, the decision of this punishment.
"Twenty taels of silver? I don't have twenty taels of family. When Xu Liangyin heard twenty taels, he still had a terrible headache, so he asked Liu Guiyuan a few: "We promise not to talk about it, is it feasible?" ”
"No, it's not my decision alone, it's the decision of all the members, it's only because you're too greedy, if you didn't have a bad mind at the time, why do you need your family to lose money?" Liu Guiyuan shook his head and didn't look at his face.
"Yes, it used to cost five hundred taels, but now as long as your family gives twenty taels, what do you want?" An eldest lady in the club rushed to say at this time that she had long been dissatisfied with the Xu family.
"In addition to money, you should remember that after the beginning of spring, we will also water the wheat field once for each family. Also, your sister Xu Vanilla, if she leaks her knitting skills, we will definitely take you to the official. Liu Guiyuan emphasized again.
Xu Liangyin and his woman Zhou Caidie, seeing that everyone was in the same caliber, had no possibility of changing their words, so they could only face disgrace and help each other go home to raise money. The other villagers who watched the excitement and the members who joined the club all went home one after another.
I don't know how Xu Liangyin's family raised the money, Liu Guiyuan only knew that three days later, his woman Zhou Caidie carried a burden in her arms, came to the door crying, and handed the burden to Liu Guiyuan.
Liu Guiyuan opened the bag and saw that there was a new ingot of silver, two or three pieces of broken silver, and the rest were copper plates. ”
Zhou Caidie originally had tears on her face, but when she heard this, she burst into tears, and said regretfully: "There are more than eleven taels that I borrowed from my mother's family, I don't know how many white eyes I have suffered in the past few days, my wife and my sister-in-law even pointed at my nose and scolded, alas, I deserve to blame." ”
Liu Huahua lowered his head and counted the money, and asked her halfway through the count: "Then your sister is your man's sister, and she didn't give any money to help you?" “
Zhou Caidie mentioned her sister-in-law Xu Vanilla, the roots of her teeth itched angrily, and she scolded angrily: "Don't mention her, she is not a person at all, if she didn't want to learn to knit sweaters, and asked my mother-in-law to find me a man, I don't want to teach her anything." ”
"But after all, you still shouldn't teach her." Liu Hongzao sighed, looking at the money she had worked so hard to raise, and her heart was not a good feeling.
Zhou Caidie's face was even more sad, covering her face and crying: "When I went to her house to find her to get money, she didn't even open the door, insisting that it had nothing to do with her, and finally found my mother-in-law, who made trouble for a long time before giving two taels of silver, and said that it was borrowed by my family, why am I so unlucky, woo woo woo ......"
After counting all the money and confirming that it was twenty taels of silver, Zhou Caidie had already cried to the point of losing her strength, and barely supported her body to go back, but Liu Guiyuan stopped her again and asked her: "Your sister-in-law won't reveal the skill of knitting sweaters, right?" ”
Zhou Caidie's face was pale, she shook her head vigorously, and said, "Don't you dare, my family told her that if it is leaked, she will have to be asked to pay the twenty taels of silver." ”
Liu Guiyuan nodded, looked at her eldest sister and second sister, and saw that they all agreed, before saying: "Aunt Zhou, this time you will be fined twenty taels of silver, and there is still the work of watering the wheat field, you won't hold a grudge, right?" ”
Zhou Caidie was not in a hurry to leave, looked at their sisters, and said something heart-wrenching, saying: "I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but I still know right and wrong, I don't blame you for this, if you want to blame, blame me, I didn't keep the bottom line, alas!" ”
Liu Guiyuan saw that she had been taught a lesson, so he said the words he had already thought of, "Aunt Zhou, I didn't plan to really ask your family to lose money, I just planned to scare you, after all, you are just a first-time offender, but that day Uncle Xu kowtowed to our three sisters in front of all the villagers, I can only ask you to pay this money, otherwise how can I serve the public?" ”
"Well, you didn't make a big mistake by breaking the agreement, I didn't think of killing it all, so let's do it, I have some wool thread here, if you can spin it before the year, I'll give you half of the twenty taels of silver; When spring begins, you can finish watering those wheat fields, and I will return to you the remaining ten taels. ”
A slap and then a sweet date, this is Liu Guiyuan's plan, originally she wanted to scare the Xu family, and threatened not to give five hundred taels to send his family to see the official, but Xu Liangyin did it that day, she will plan it and ask the members to decide how to punish them.
When they knew that they were wrong, they got twenty taels of silver to give her, and she was looking for a reason to return the silver to them.
After all, after all, they are all from the same village, and she can't really drive people to a dead end, so she has to spare people and spare people
"Tell your man that if he agrees, he will come to my house in the afternoon to sign another agreement, and you can't do it again this time." Liu Guiyuan looked at Zhou Caidie and said seriously.
"Hey, I'll go home, don't worry, this time I swear to God, I will definitely work hard, if I have any bad intentions, I won't spare him!"
When Zhou Caidie heard that the twenty taels of silver could be returned, the boss with staring eyes left a few words and hurried home to find her man. In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Liangyin and Zhou Caidie went to Liu's door again, Xu Liangyin was no longer as attentive as before, but patted his chest and said that he would spin the wool and redeem the silver as soon as possible.
"This matter is secret, you must not tell the villagers, otherwise it will be difficult for my family to be people." Liu Guiyuan told them uneasily, worried that they would tell them about it, and the other members would not be able to deal with the leak after they knew about it, so wouldn't she sing this play in vain?
"Hey, don't say it, as long as you can get the money back, my mother won't tell me about it, Liu girl, thank you very much." Xu Liangyin said good things without money.
"Girl of the Liu family, don't you want to sign an agreement, you take it and I will sign it, if I don't keep my word again, I will curse him to cut off the children and grandchildren of the Xu family!" Zhou Caidie was ruthless this time, and actually used a poisonous oath to show her determination.
"Why did you swear such a poisonous oath? Bah, spit, how unlucky is it to swear like this? Xu Liangyin frowned, and asked Zhou Caidie to change his words.
"I don't swear badly, your mother and your sister will come again, and if you say a few words in your ear, you will have to be soft-hearted and do wrong things. This time, why don't I depend on you, if you still want to live a good life, you have to listen to me in the future, is it feasible? Zhou Caidie used to be very cowardly at home, and her man was in charge of what she said and did, but now she had other ideas and didn't want her man to be in charge.
"Okay, okay, I'll follow you, okay?" Xu Liangyin is a person who is strong on the outside and strong in the middle, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law was suddenly so strong, he instantly lost his momentum.
Seeing that they agreed, Liu Guiyuan immediately took out a pen and paper to write the agreement, asked them to press their handprints together, and then took out two bags of wool from the east wing, and let them spin them into wool thread and send them back.
After Xu Liangyin and his family left, Liu Hongzao looked at her happily with a smile on her face, and said, "Guiyuan, how old are you, why are you so good at handling people?" ”
"What's this, I'm thinking about it myself."
