Chapter VII Repayment of Debts
Although it was summer at this time, it was the time when the melons were tender and the vegetables were green, but I only ate noodles yesterday, and Lin Yan didn't want to eat noodles.
She wanted white rice, a tender fish, and a few pieces of fried meat......
Hey, don't even think about it!
Her family still owes a lot of debt!
It was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Lin Yan sighed, and went to see her old noodles again.
At this time, the old noodles had already expanded a lot, Lin Yan broke it and looked at it, the soft dough was full of pores, and it was obviously fermented successfully.
Looks like we don't have to wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, I don't know what to eat for dinner, so it's better to steam the steamed buns first and try the craftsmanship, or try whether the old noodles are fermented successfully, right?
Just do it when you think of it, Lin Yan took out the old noodles and started to mix them directly.
The flour here is not as delicate as it is modern, and it is slightly coarse, so Lin Yan and the noodles are put aside and waiting for fermentation.
When I arrived at the yard again, I pinched two handfuls of green vegetables in the flower beds that bloomed on both sides of the yard, and then went out to buy eggs again.
When he arrived at the shop opposite, Uncle Wang was not there, it was his little daughter-in-law guarding the shop, seeing that Lin Yan's eyes were a little evasive, he took the eggs for Lin Yan and collected the money, so he buried his head and didn't speak.
Lin Yan only thought she was a shy person, and he didn't care, so he took the egg and went back.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a group of stout men coming from a distance.
"Shhh As soon as Lin Yan saw this group of people, he felt that the back of his head began to hurt again.
The big bag that fell three days ago hasn't been completely eliminated, and this group of people is here again?
Lin Yan looked at these five or six strong men, and then looked at her own family, she was only thirteen, and the Huang family was soft and weak, Shen Jing'an......
That's a sick man, expecting him to fight with these people?
Just stand and let him fight, and he can push people?
Under the trade-off, Lin Yan didn't even close the door, and waited for the group of people to come in.
Huang also heard the voice, threw down the needle and thread and ran out with a pale face: "Didn't you say that it would be a little later?" ”
The one who hit the head sneered: "Sister-in-law has made money in the past two days, right?" ”
Shen Jing'an had already rushed over from the room, pushed Lin Yan and the Huang family behind him, and saluted them: "Hello brothers." ”
Shen Jing'an was polite, and these strong men were suddenly a little restrained.
Shen Jing'an saw that they didn't speak, so he said again: "I was lucky in the past two days, I made a few bucks, but the money I borrowed from Brother Deng was far from enough, so I didn't send it to Brother Deng." ”
When the person who hit the head heard this, his face darkened: "If it's not enough, you can't pay it back?" ”
Shen Jingan was not afraid of him changing his face: "Naturally not, Brother Deng also saw it, the business of the shop has been good these days, and my brother will definitely be able to pay it back if he has a few more days." ”
"Need more grace?" The people behind were suddenly dissatisfied, and took a step forward with a stick, aggressive: "After two months, how long has it been?" Again grace, do you think I am a good church? ”
The man waved a stick and pointed at Shen Jing'an, who kept threatening and shouting, although Shen Jing'an was thin and weak, he could withstand it, and he stood in front of Lin Yan and Huang without taking a step back.
Huang had already cried, hiding behind Shen Jing'an, holding Lin Yan's hand tightly, tears dripping down.
Lin Yan's hands hurt from being pinched, knowing that the Huang family was very afraid, she didn't withdraw her hand, but silently counted the accounts in her heart.
Naturally, these people are not from the church, and when these people talk carefully, they are all usurers from the underworld, and each of the money they lend has to take a high interest rate.
So, in fact, it is better to pay it back early.
The little brother wielding the stick didn't pay attention to what Shen Jing'an said, his task was to deter everyone who couldn't pay off his debts, he didn't need to listen to what the other party said, just scolded people.
If the scolding doesn't work, you can still start beating directly.
In fact, Shen Jingan has no way to deal with these debts.
What's more, they do deserve to lose.
When he was helpless, Lin Yan suddenly shook off Huang's hand and stepped forward: "The money we owe is still really impossible, but we can pay it back first." ”
As soon as he heard that he had money to pay back, the scolded little brother suddenly quieted down and looked at the boss.
The eldest brother Deng was also busy looking at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan said: "You have also seen it, we have only been in business for two days, how can we pay back all the money?" ”
Originally, they knew that they would not be able to pay it all back, so from the beginning their goal was this shop.
However, if you collect debts, you will naturally be able to collect as much as you want.
Then Brother Deng asked, "Then how much can you pay back now?" ”
Lin Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Consistently." ”
When Huang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he was not afraid of the big stick, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull her.
Shen Jing'an hurriedly protected the Huang family behind him, and said with a blushing face: "Mother, it has always been consistent, I still have hundreds of texts from copying books these days, and I will work hard to make up for it, and I will pay it back first." ”
As he spoke, he went to look at the boss again: "Please also ask your brothers to be accommodating, although the business has been good in the past two days, it is true that I don't make a lot of money, and together with my copying books day and night, this has always been all of Shen's family property." ”
Lin Yan was surprised for a moment, but soon understood.
Shen Jing'an is protecting her.
If these people know about her pancakes, they will be able to earn consistent money in two days, but I am afraid that they will be red-eyed.
Lin Yan was a little moved, although she didn't think that there was anything to hide about this pancake technique.
It's a pity, this time they came vigorously, how could they go back just for this usual money?
Before Brother Deng could say anything, the younger brothers behind him shouted and scolded, saying that it had dragged on for so long, and finally even the Huang family understood that their purpose was still this shop.
This shop Lin Yan is still very useful, how can it be given to them, I was suddenly a little anxious.
But it was Shen Jingan who grabbed her with one hand, pushed her behind her, and protected her to death.
Shen Jing'an stared at Brother Deng, who was waiting on the side, and bowed politely before saying: "Brother Deng also knows that he is a scholar, if he hadn't had this illness in the spring of this year, he would definitely have to participate in this county exam." ”
The little brother behind Brother Deng looked confused, and he didn't quite understand why Shen Jing'an said this at this time, but the boss didn't say anything, so they listened quietly.
Shen Jing'an said again: "In order to keep my little life, my father borrowed this ten taels of silver from Brother Deng. If there are no accidents, I will participate in the county exam next year. ”
Brother Deng was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and the two brothers reached out and patted Shen Jing'an's shoulder: "If you call me Brother Deng, I will recognize you as a little brother, and I will take the exam well in the spring of next year, brother, I will wait to eat your Xiucai Gong's wine!" ”
As he spoke, he motioned to his younger brother to take the money handed over by Shen Jing'an, turned around and left.
