Chapter 136: Borrowing Money
The quality of sleep after labor is absolutely good.
Last night, I went to the field with my dad to water for half the night, and Mei Berry slept until dawn without even dreaming.
Mei Berry's time to get up is also quite coincidental, my father is in the yard to bring the morning ground soy milk to the kitchen, Mei Berry followed a piece of it and saw her mother wrapping the wrapped bean paste on the pot and steaming.
"Drink soy milk or eat tofu brain in the morning?"
Putting the bean bun on the steamer, Wei Meili took the soybean milk that Mei Youqian grinded, turned around and looked at the big and small who were crowded in the kitchen staring at their own cooking, and asked.
"Soy milk, if you can't finish it, you can put it in the jar and chill it as a drink~"
None of the adults in the family objected to the choice of plum berries.
So early in the morning, when Mei Dahu came, he happened to meet Mei Berry's family drinking soy milk and eating steamed buns in the yard.
This food made Mei Dahu, who had only drunk a bowl of brown rice porridge that was so thin that rice and water separate in the morning, feel hungry.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
"Ah, I...... I've come to you for something. ”
Mei Dahu said as his gaze drifted to the food on the stone table of the Mei Berry family.
He thought that if Mei Lao Er asked him if he had eaten, he would not be unable to reluctantly answer that he had not eaten, and then eat together.
Well, that's what he thinks.
Did Mei Dahu really think that his gaze was not obvious?
Mei Youqian drank the last mouthful of soy milk in the bowl, and urged his wife and daughter to go back to the house.
By the way, she asked her and her mother to bring down breakfast too, and then beckoned Mei Dahu to sit down in front of the empty stone table.
Mei Dahu: "......"
"Big brother, what are you doing early in the morning? I haven't finished breakfast yet. ”
Mei Youqian's opening directly made Mei Dahu's face darken.
Mei Youqian opened his mouth to come, as if he was complaining that Mei Dahu had disturbed their family's breakfast.
Mei Youqian didn't care whether Mei Dahu ate or not, let alone asked him if he wanted to eat together.
A direct sentence shows - you really don't pick the time, you have to come in time for breakfast?
If it weren't for the fact that he was asking for someone, Mei Dahu would immediately be able to turn his face with Mei Lao'er.
"I'd like to ask you to borrow some silver......
"Big brother, are you looking for me to borrow silver? Wouldn't you have forgotten that yesterday I said that our family had emptied our family to offset my conscription, and you were kidding me? ”
Mei Youqian was also surprised that Mei Dahu asked him to borrow silver!
This man dared to think that he would come to himself to borrow money.
They had an unpleasant quarrel between them during the previous festival, did he forget?
The heart is really big enough~
"Not at all?"
Obviously, Mei Dahu didn't believe him at all.
"Not a single penny."
"And you still eat white bread in the morning?"
"This noodle is milled by wheat at home, how my family likes to eat it, what does it have to do with whether my family has money or not? Storing grain and storing silver are two different things, right? ”
Seeing Mei Dahu's anxious look, Mei Youqian couldn't help but taunt:
"Okay, big brother, don't you just don't want to participate in the conscription when you borrow money? But these five taels of silver are not a small amount. Whoever you look for, you can't borrow so much.
If there is, you will be given a conscription, so why not your own family? ”
After Mei Youqian finished speaking, Mei Dahu's face froze.
"Just borrow a little, I didn't say anything about borrowing five taels, I still have a little myself."
"There are no five articles." Mei Youqian spread his hands and shook his head, "In the past two days, I still have to discuss with my daughter-in-law, and I have to do some odd jobs or something." ”
"How is it possible that you dare to take out all the money you have left without any surplus silver to resist the servitude? If something happens to you in the back, where are you going to cry! ”
Seeing that he couldn't borrow money, Mei Dahu's true face couldn't help but be exposed.
Hearing this, Mei You smiled humbly: "Shut up, you, don't curse me!" How? As I said before, there is no money at home and there is food to eat, and if there is enough food, what else is the matter?
Besides, just like you are today, I have money that I will not take out to resist servitude.
Is it possible to keep it for you to borrow it at your doorstep, so that you can resist forced labor?
I haven't let you go to the third child once for so many years, you are the uncle for your life?! ”
"Mei Erniu!"
Unable to borrow the silver and was scolded by Mei Youqian, Mei Dahu was annoyed and angry, stood up and yelled at Mei Youqian directly.
"You're unreasonable!"
"Ah, yes, yes, you can be reasonable, you are reasonable! ! ”
Mei Youqian looked at his angry appearance, and suddenly lost the desire to quarrel.
Arguing with someone who has lost his mind can't show his level.
Mei Youqian waved his hand to let people get out, so angry that Mei Dahu didn't forget to glare at him a few times before leaving.
Seeing that the other party went out and turned back step by step, with a look of condemnation in his eyes, Mei Youqian was anxious.
What's the matter with grinding and chirping and leaving his house?
Mei Youqian simply got up and stretched out his head to chase and scold Mei Dahu.
Mei Berry looked out from the door of the hall, and her father seemed to be the village bully big white goose for a moment, chasing her uncle.
was so frightened that Mei Dahu ran all the way without looking back.
"Cut~"
Looking at Mei Dahu's embarrassed back as he ran out, Mei Youqian clapped his hands and closed the door with satisfaction.
After only three seconds of closing, Mei Youqian opened the courtyard door again and looked out.
He stood at the door and turned his head to greet Mei Berry, who was standing at the door and probing his brain, and said, "Girl, do you want to go to your third uncle's house with me?" ”
"Yes!"
Judging from the fact that Uncle Meiberry touched a nail from her father, her uncle will definitely go to the third uncle when he turns around.
Plum berries naturally want to follow the past to see the excitement.
As Mei Berry expected, Mei Dahu was deflated at their house, so he rushed to Mei Sanma's house non-stop.
Just when their father and daughter chased over, Mei Dahu happened to be talking about it with Mei Sanma in the yard.
Mei Dahu didn't hide it every time, borrowing money swaggeringly and fairly.
Mei Youna didn't shy away from standing under the eaves of her house and staring at Mei Sanma's side, for fear that her father would suffer a loss.
Here Mei Dahu just opened his mouth to Mei Sanma, but as a result, Mei Dahu's eyes glanced at the corner of his eyes, and his face immediately turned black.
Seeing Mei Youqian appear here, Mei Dahu secretly cursed in his heart, and he didn't even care whether Mei Sanma answered him or not, and asked Mei Youqian: "Why are you here?" ”
"What's wrong? I'm going to eat and come out to slip around, can't I? ”
Mei You said with a cheeky face, and then glanced at Mei Sanma, who was stumbling because Mei Dahu opened his mouth to borrow silver, and said, "Eh, the third brother, the eldest brother is also looking for you to borrow money?" ”
"Hmm!"
Regarding the sudden appearance of his second brother, Mei Sanma's nerves that had just tensed suddenly relaxed.
He nodded, and soon understood the meaning of his second brother's words.
"Second brother, you were also borrowed money by the eldest brother?"
"Isn't that right? Our eldest brother is outrageous enough, I said that all the money in the family was used to offset the forced labor, and he also came to borrow the silver! ”
As soon as Mei Youqian's words fell, Mei Sanma figured out what he meant, and hurriedly said to Mei Dahu: "Big brother, our family's money is gone, and they have all been forced into service!" ”
"You don't lie to me! You guys did it on purpose, right?! ”
Mei Sanma heard it, so can Mei Dahu feel it?
This Mei Lao Er is clearly here to help Mei Lao San speak!
I just don't want to lend him money!
"What a deliberate one, this is what it is! Who can have so much silver, and what is left after paying the conscription? ”
After Mei Youqian finished speaking, he saw that Mei Dahu also pointed to the meat under the eaves of Mei Sanma's house, and said: "The second family doesn't have the ability to make too much, but the third child, your family has also made a lot of money by hunting like this, right?" ”
"Hey! Big brother, what do you mean by that? What does it mean that I don't have the ability to earn too much, but the third child has the ability to earn? ”
This Mei Dahu doesn't step on Mei Youqian when he speaks, and Mei Youqian is uncomfortable.
Similarly, Mei Youqian didn't open his mouth to scold him when he heard it, and Mei Youqian was also uncomfortable.
Seeing that Mei Youqian was facing Mei Dahu again for himself, Mei Sanma also opened his mouth to help: "I don't have the ability to make money, so I only have five taels ......."
"Go, go, what do you say to demean yourself?"
Mei Sanma had the intention to help Mei Youqian, but when he opened his mouth to speak, he belittled himself, and Mei Youqian immediately asked him to stop when he heard it.
"The ability of me and the third child is enough to make money and resist the forced labor.
It's hard to say whether this ability is big or small, but big brother, you obviously don't have the ability of our brothers. Why borrow otherwise? ”
Mei Youqian was in that yin and yang, and Mei Berry saw that her uncle's face changed with her father's words, as if the traffic light at the intersection suddenly broke.
"Third child, are you really not borrowing?"
Mei Dahu was angry, thinking that he couldn't ignore Mei Berry's father's-stirring stick, staring at Mei Sanma with his eyes straight and asking seriously.
"Big brother, I don't have any money, not at all."
Mei Sanma shook his head honestly and said that he had no money.
Seeing that Mei Sanma was also not in the oil and salt, Mei Dahu tried to play the emotional card again: "The third child, we are brothers, and we are all a family." Shouldn't brothers help each other? ”
"Yes, we are brothers, and of course it is right for brothers to help each other, right, big brother?"
Mei Youqian almost repeated what Mei Dahu said.
"Yes."
Mei Dahu grimaced, not knowing why a bad premonition had risen in his heart.
"That's right, didn't the third child and I empty our family funds recently to resist forced labor? I don't have any money in my hand, so why don't you lend us some for your help? ”
Mei Youqian said, standing beside Mei Sanma, the two brothers looked at Mei Dahu in unison.
Mei Sanma still did the same, learning Mei Youqian's posture of rubbing his hands with flies, and echoed: "Yes, big brother, borrow a little, anyway...... You don't need it. ”
Mei Dahu: ???
Without waiting for Mei Dahu to have another attack, Mei Youqian also made up for it: "Big brother, don't worry, borrow our silver, and when you come back from servitude, we will return it to you, you can go with confidence!" ”
