After a long time, two hours later, Zhang Fan threw down the hoeing tool in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat on the wooden bench.

"Finally cleaned up!"

Zhang Fan looked relieved and muttered to himself.

Looking up at the clean and tidy courtyard that had been cleaned up by himself, Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it was completely cleaned up, and now there is a place to settle in the yard.

To be honest, Zhang Fan has never done this kind of weeding farm work when he is so big.

If it weren't for the fact that he had added a little physical strength in the hell labyrinth before, his physique at the moment was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his body was really a little unbearable.

There are very few things in Zhang Suya's courtyard, and on the east side of the courtyard, there is only a simple stove made of blue bricks, and in addition, there is an open-air toilet on the west side.

The yard is not very large, and compared with the spacious atmosphere of other villagers in Zhangjia Village, the two are really in stark contrast.

It can be seen that Zhang Suya's family conditions are not generally poor.

That's right, if Zhang Suya's family conditions are very good, she doesn't need to travel all the way to Dujiang City to find a job.

......

Zhang Fan looked at the time and found that it was already 18:16 in the afternoon, and because it was summer, it would be very late in the sky of this solar term.

Stretching, Zhang Fan picked up the shoulder bag from the side and walked outside.

Zhang Suya's house didn't have much food at all, and when he just cleaned up, Zhang Fan paid special attention to it, and at present, in the corner of the house, there were only one or two pieces of moldy black potatoes and some yellow flour crawling with white insects.

These things are inedible, and if you eat them, you will definitely get sick.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan decided to go to the supermarket outside to buy some food and daily necessities.

It's strange to say, a good home, I didn't even see a man, Zhang Suya's father hasn't shown up until now, I don't know where he went.

Zhang Fan's eyes appeared thoughtful, and after a little groaning, he walked out.

The streets outside are quiet and unoccupied, and compared to the glittering and bustling environment of a big city, it seems extremely lonely.

Zhang Fan walked all the way down the street and soon came to the commissary.

This commissary is not the kind of supermarket in the city that has a separate façade, it is just a side room of a family, with a window open, and on top of this window, a half-meter-sized blackboard hangs.

On the blackboard, there are three words written in white chalk - commissary

Zhang Fan stepped forward and knocked on the glass.

As he knocked on the glass, soon, a middle-aged man with bare arms opened the window.

I saw this middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, his body was fat and bloated, his face was full of horizontal meat, he still had half a cigarette in his mouth, and his whole body was sprinkled with a pungent smell of sweat and sourness.

"What are you going to buy?!"

The commissary owner looked impatient, glared at Zhang Fan coldly and asked.

"Do you have any rice and white flour here?"

Zhang Fan was so sour by the sour smell of sweat on the commissary owner that he frowned.

"Nope!"

The commissary owner took a puff of his cigarette and said coldly.

"Do you know where it's sold?"

Zhang Fan smiled and continued to ask.

"I don't know! If you don't sell anything, just get out of here, don't disturb Lao Tzu's rest! ”

"Bang-"

The owner of the commissary finally couldn't help it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the window shut.

Zhang Fan saw that the attitude of the commissary owner was so poor, and sighed helplessly.

It seems that I can only leave Zhangjia Village and go to the town or further away to buy things.

Zhang Fan didn't delay, he was not familiar with the environment in Songhua County, and now while the sky was still bright, he had to buy it back as soon as possible, otherwise when it got dark, this road would not be easy to walk.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's footsteps couldn't help but speed up a lot, and after a while, he left the scope of Zhangjia Village.

.......

At the same time that Zhang Fan left Zhangjia Village, suddenly, a group of villagers from Zhangjia Village rushed into Zhang Suya's house with great momentum.

These villagers are old and young, male and female, if Zhang Fan is here at this time, he will recognize at a glance, there are many old men and old ladies among these villagers, all of whom are those who chatter under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village in the afternoon.

"Ma Xiuqin, hurry up and come out to pay back the money!"

An old lady on crutches stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly into the house.

The old lady's face was black pockmarked, and her words were full of bitterness.

"That's right! Hurry out and get out! Come out and pay back! ”

Another old lady on the side hurriedly echoed.

"Ma Xiuqin, you shameless woman, Zhang Suya has a career outside and has made a lot of money, why don't you want to admit it today?"

"Hurry up and come out and pay back the money!"

A group of villagers who rushed into Zhang Suya's house shouted loudly, and anger and gloom appeared on everyone's faces.

"Ahem......! Ahem!! ”

At this time, Ma Xiuqin, who was asleep in the house because of physical discomfort, opened her eyes with a tired face.

At this time, her head was covered with sweat, her lips were chapped and black, her face was pale, and she was extremely weak.

Ma Xiuqin heard the noise outside, she struggled to get up from the earthen kang, picked up the wooden stick from the side, and limped out of bed.

After a long time, Ma Xiuqin finally came to the door, and when she saw that the originally messy courtyard suddenly became spotless, clean and tidy, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but before she could react, she was shocked by the villagers who came into view.

"Aunt Wang, Mother Song, do you have anything to do?"

Ma Xiuqin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked suspiciously.

"Still playing stupid? Okay, you Ma Xiuqin, what are you pretending to be now? Don't think that your family Zhang Suya asked people to come back to see you this time, we don't know! ”

Aunt Wang, who was full of pockmarked faces, sneered and scolded grinningly.

"Ma Xiuqin, Ma Xiuqin, I always thought you were a woman who kept women's morals, but now it seems that you are just a dirty and smelly slut, you deserve to kill your husband, and now Zhang Suya has a chance, and you want to forget all the debts you owe before?"

"Has your conscience allowed the dog to eat?"

"If we hadn't helped your mother and daughter, you would have starved to death on the streets, where would you have the money to let Zhang Suya go to college?"

"Don't you know that you dare to pretend to be garlic here?"

Aunt Wang pointed at Ma Xiuqin and scolded, looking like a typical shrew.

Just when Aunt Wang was insulting Ma Xiuqin, the villagers behind her all gave Aunt Wang a thumbs up.

Aunt Wang is Aunt Wang, and sure enough, she studied for a few years when she was young, and she scolded everyone so harshly.

"Aunt Wang, you ......."

was abused by Aunt Wang, a scoundrel, Ma Xiuqin was wronged to the extreme, and a heart-wrenching tingling sensation suddenly came from her chest.

"Aunt Wang, you ...... Why are you so aggressive, I borrowed your money, and I will definitely pay it back in the future, I never thought of not paying it back! ”

Ma Xiuqin's eyes were full of tears, she was an honest and responsible ordinary woman, where had she heard such vulgar and humiliating words, for a while, she only felt that the world was spinning, if it weren't for the crutches with both hands, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

"Pay back in the future? Do you really think of us as three-year-olds? In case you sneak away with someone tonight, where are we going to find you then? ”

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and sneered, then she touched the back of the head of a little fat boy beside her, and asked with a smile: "Sun Sun, how do you say it, what is her name!" ”

"Grandma, she's a scheming cousin!"

The little fat boy looked like he was beaten up, his nostrils were bubbling with snot, and he spoke without scruples, and he was not educated at all.

"Listen, even a child understands this truth, but what kind of big-tailed wolf are you still pretending to be here?"

Aunt Wang continued to insult loudly.

"Pay back!"

"Pay back!"

"Everyone, let her pay it back!"

Aunt Wang glanced sideways at the people behind her and began to stir up loudly.

"That's right! Ma Xiuqin, hurry up and pay back the money! You owe me 500 dollars! ”

"And two hundred of my family!"

"My family's is four hundred!"

.......

was instigated by Aunt Wang for a while, and the villagers who came to collect debts around them all began to get emotional.

"Look at it, if you don't pay back the money, how angry the big guy is, if you still want to continue to live in our Zhangjia Village, I will advise you to pay back our money quickly!"

"I settled the account when I came, but you owe my family 3,000 yuan!"

Aunt Wang tugged at her fingers, showing a serious count.

"Wang ..... Aunt Wang, I remember borrowing 1,000 yuan from your family at the beginning, why has it become 3,000 yuan now......"

When Ma Xiuqin heard this, her whole body trembled with anger, which showed that the lion asked for money when he opened his mouth.

"You borrowed 1,000 yuan from my family, but it's been a year, and in the bank, there is interest, so I will also include the interest for you today!"

Aunt Wang sneered and began to talk about her set of rhetoric that she had prepared a long time ago.

Joke, your Zhang Suya is soaring outside, if I don't ask you for more interest today, I won't lose to death.

Of course, these are just Aunt Wang's inner words, she didn't say it in front of Ma Xiuqin.

"Aunt Wang, you still know how to settle accounts, yes, yes, yes! Ma Xiuqin, if you borrow money from me, you have to calculate the interest, then you don't owe my family 500 yuan, but 1,500 yuan! ”

As soon as a villager who asked for a debt heard Aunt Wang's crooked reasoning, he instantly came to his senses, and hurriedly added loudly, for fear that Ma Xiuqin would not admit it.

"Then counting the interest, you owe my family six hundred!"

Another villager also said with bright eyes.

"My family is 1,200 yuan!"

At this moment, all the villagers who wanted to pay the debt were anxious, and their eyes were red when they were tempted by this high interest, and the greed in their hearts finally defeated their conscience.

"Aunt Wang....... You guys....... Everyone....... Why should it be! ”

Ma Xiuqin saw that everyone looked like they were going to swallow her alive, and a wave of fear and despair suddenly rose in her heart.

With so much money, even if you sell her, you can't get it.

Obviously they are all villagers, why do they do things so ruthlessly.

Ma Xiuqin really can't figure this out and can't understand it.

Just when Ma Xiuqin looked desperate, suddenly, the bamboo door was gently pushed open from the outside, and then a young man carrying two large bags of white rice and white noodles walked in with steady steps.
