The Cheng family was so frightened that they avoided the Yang family when they saw the Yang family kneeling, and then heard the Yang family say that the silver would be returned by them, and their moods were different.

But even Qu's, who agreed in his heart, said repeatedly: "Sister-in-law's words are wrong, this is collected by the family, how can you pay it back!" ”

Let the sister-in-law return it, then their second room is the one who signed the paperwork, so they have to pay it back, right?

The old lady looked at them very pleased, several daughters-in-law had their own thoughts on weekdays, but when there was a real big event, they did not pass the buck to each other, but were considerate of each other, which made her feel that several daughters-in-law were not wrongly married.

Qu's words are almost said together with the seventh day of the first month, everyone looks at the Qu family and looks at the seventh day of the first month.

This one and both of them are surprising.

The old lady pointed to Yang first: "Don't hurry up and help your sister-in-law up." Only then did he say angrily: "The seventh day of the first month is right, this money is collected by our Cheng family, and it will naturally be repaid by our Cheng family." ”

She looked around and said earnestly: "You all remember, this money was borrowed by the Cheng family, and it will be repaid by the Cheng family in the future." It doesn't matter which room it is! ”

Everyone was busy, and the old lady asked Yunhui: "Look at it, how much is it missing?" ”

As he was talking, the five brothers of Cheng Ercheng also came back, and they brought back one hundred and twenty taels of silver to sell the shop, and they were a little surprised to see the pile of silver piled up on the kang, so they also put the silver they brought back, and handed the deed to the old lady: "Mother, where did you get so much silver?" Coupled with these, Yunhui, how much is there to count quickly? ”

The old lady handed the deed to Chu Qi: "Read it to grandma." ”

On the seventh day of the first month, it was the first time she saw the deed of sale, although it was for the sale of the shop, she read it to her grandmother, and the old lady only noticed the "one hundred and thirty taels", and was a little surprised, "Didn't you say one hundred and twenty taels?" ”

Cheng Er said with a smile: "If you don't say it, our family has a good family!" This shop was bought by the Chen family. ”

Chen? Chen Juren?

Cheng Er nodded, "It's Chen Ju's family, it's Da Lang who came out, saying that his father confessed when he entered Beijing, don't worry about our family, let someone help him." When he heard that we were selling a shop, he told his mother that he was going to take over. No, I gave ten taels more! ”

Is this a return for the few taels of silver they invested?

The mood of the crowd was a little delicate.

Cheng Er hesitated and said, "Mother, I want to bring Jiaojiao back." should have picked it up a long time ago, and gave her grandfather and uncle a ride. ”

Just received the benefits of others, and everyone couldn't say anything to refuse, but the seventh day of the first year didn't care about that, "No!" It's been a year, but it's only been a long time! I can't just bully us like this because my dad just didn't! ”

When she said this, Cheng Er couldn't say anything more about picking up Jiaojiao, but he still explained to her: "How can your second uncle bully you, it's Chen Dalang, I've asked many times, and this time I deliberately ...... it."

"Give him back the extra ten taels of silver!" Cheng Chuqi didn't want to think about it, "Now he can't mention this condition!" ”

choked Cheng Er's words, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "Chuqi, don't be so aggressive in your girl's family, Da Lang didn't mean that." ”

"It's good if you don't have it!" Cheng Chuqi said lightly: "As soon as my father left, the second uncle said that he would take Cheng Jiaojiao back, which would inevitably make us think more." ”

Cheng Er didn't mention it, and Cheng Chuqi didn't target him anymore, and he and Yun Hui Yunxiu counted the silver in a pile.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after counting.

And when he added all the copper coins, there were three hundred and ninety taels of silver.

Just make up another ten taels of silver.

The old lady's sister, the old lady Zhang came to the door with her son: "You are all busy these days, and I don't squeak." ”

She motioned to her son, "You also know that my sister and I are not as good as you, so you can take these ten taels of silver." ”

Seeing that everyone in the Cheng family was looking at her, she couldn't help but explain: "There is not much money at home......

Before she finished speaking, the old lady grabbed her hand: "Sister~ You came too timely, quick, Yunhui, a few of you come to kowtow to your aunt and cousin." ”

Mrs. Zhang was busy with her son, "What are you doing here......

When the money was enough, the old lady locked it in the cupboard and instructed her sons: "The day after tomorrow, let your younger brothers join you!" Find a few more people to help you testify, and make it all clear, so as not to run into the unreasonable one and get rid of it again in the future. ”

Cheng Er and a few people agreed to come out, and only the old lady and sister were left in the house.

The old lady asked, "Sister, you took so much silver out, and your daughter-in-law didn't show you face!" ”

"She dares! She forgot how you helped her when her family was in trouble? Mrs. Zhang waved her hand: "You don't have to worry, I still have the final say in this house." Your nephew listens to me, too! ”

What Mrs. Zhang didn't say was that there was a lot of noise in the family because of this matter, but she pressed it down, her son first felt that the silver was too much, and then after listening to his mother's words, he felt that the Cheng family would not be defeated, so he agreed.

The old lady knew her sister, she didn't say anything, just held her hand tightly, but she remembered this friendship in the snow.

After returning to the room, Yang touched the head of Chu Qi and said, "You kid! ”

Chu Qi felt that the words in his heart were not very good, so he hugged her arm and coquettishly: "Mother, I'm in a hurry, what if you say that, what if my second aunt responds?" ”

Yang sighed: "It was supposed to be returned by us." ”

In the seventh year of junior high school, I felt that my previous thoughts were right.

That's really what Yang thinks.

She let go of her hand and pouted: "Then if you want to say that, this document was signed by the second uncle, and my father still doesn't agree, so shouldn't the second uncle return it?" ”

"How can you think like this, your second uncle went out to represent the Cheng family, your father and your grandfather......"

"But the silver is the ...... collected by the Cheng family"

"But what your father took away was also used by your father and them."

"It's also so that my father can be admitted to the Jinshi, so that everyone in the family can be polished!"

Anyway, neither of them could convince anyone, Cheng Chuqi was a little angry, and felt that his mother was a little pedantic and stubborn.

Yang was also a little angry, feeling that his daughter was stubborn and had no family affection, and felt that he was too used to her.

But she really has to be strict, she looked at her thin appearance, and thought that she was reluctant to endure hardships with the mountains and rivers.

When they arrived home after the round grave, those people were already waiting at Cheng's house.

Those who stayed at home to receive were the sons of Village Chief Wang and Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing the Cheng brothers happily take out the silver, those people breathed a sigh of relief.

The Cheng family invited the village chief Wang, and also invited the chief of Xiaowei Village, Daoist Zhang, and a servant of the county government to be witnesses.

Chu Qi reminded Yunhui: "Let them hand over the paperwork in their hands." ”

It's not that she's a villain, but that she can't expect from these people.

What if the paperwork in hand is lost or damaged, and someone comes to ask for it again with the paperwork?

Yun Hui faced this group of adults, and said loudly, and the leader before said unhappily: "Why are you so troublesome? I didn't bring that paperwork......"

Chu Qi raised his chin: "Of course I can't give you this silver without paperwork!" ”

The man was stunned: "What did you say about the little girl?" I didn't take the paperwork, and that's my land......"

Chu Qi sneered: "But the title deed is my father's name." ”

The man was furious, and several people on their side hurriedly stopped him: "Brothers, the niece of the Cheng family is right, you need to get the paperwork." ”

Otherwise, will the empty mouth and white teeth have to be compensated?

The man snorted and looked at the entourage who followed, and the man hurriedly bowed: "Master, when I came, my wife handed over the paperwork to the little one, and the little one forgot about it for a while." ”

Cheng Chuqi sneered, look, don't come back and say maybe something will happen in the future!

Everyone was very dissatisfied when they looked at the old man, and even those who were with him shook their heads vaguely.

issued the documents and took the silver, Cheng Si burned the documents signed by Cheng Er, "Everyone, we have done it before, so we won't leave the big guys." Someone clenched his fists: "Offended, offended." ”

Everyone was a little ashamed when they left, only the old man looked at Chu Qi coldly, and left with his entourage.

When everyone left, Liuli was waiting for lunch and looking for an ox cart to send a few people away, not only gave gifts, but also wrapped a red envelope of 200 yuan per person as a thank you gift, and the Cheng family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The field was saved, and the foundation of their Cheng family was not lost.

The old lady pointed at Cheng Er, "You stay, and the rest of the people should do whatever they want!" ”

When everyone stepped back, Cheng Er stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

The old lady asked with a straight face: "If there is no reminder on the seventh day of the first month today, will you not take back the document and pay the silver?" Have you been walking outside in vain all these years? It's not as good as a little girl. ”

Cheng Er touched his nose and said with an embarrassed face: "Mother, I didn't think about it so much!" I thought that after people had collected the money and written the paperwork, it would be safe. ”

The old lady cut off his words: "You said it was safe to sign that document at the beginning." ”

Cheng Er's face turned red, and the old lady sighed: "Second child, you have to remember that this time, there is no absolute safety in this world." ”

Cheng Er was reprimanded, and when he returned to the room, he was a little angry when he saw Qu Shi talking to Xiaofang.

"What time is it, why don't you hurry home? I didn't see my uncle, I was in a hurry. ”

Cheng Xiaofang didn't know what kind of medicine his father had taken, but it was really not early, so he went to say goodbye to his grandmother and aunt and others and hurried back to the county seat.

Qu asked, "Did my mother train you?" "Otherwise, it can't be a nose, it's not a nose, and a face isn't a face.

Cheng Er questioned her: "Who asked you to take so much silver?" Shows you're rich, aren't you? ”

Qu was stunned by him, "I didn't take all ......"

"You still want to take it all?"

Qu Shi was also angry, "Cheng Er, are you sick?" Are you still scolding me at this time? Is it possible to take five or six taels to make your younger brothers and sisters laugh? ”

She looked at her man suspiciously: "Why do I think something is wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Er didn't dare to look at her eyes, "Something is wrong with you!" He took off his shoes and lay down on his back on the kang, "You're not afraid that they will wonder how we have so much silver?" ”

Qu Shi was unimpressed: "Then what is the suspicion?" Everyone is young and old, how can you be suspicious. ”

She didn't know that Niu was talking to Cheng San about it in the third room.

"You said that the second sister-in-law picked such a person, and she took out so much money at once, I really don't know how much silver the second brother has taken out from the family over the years!"

Cheng San didn't like to hear it, "What are you talking nonsense!" How much effort has the second brother contributed to the family over the years? It makes you ugly when you say it. ”

Niu pouted: "What's ugly?" The second brother has contributed a lot, is it possible that you and the fourth brother have not contributed? Who takes care of the family's land? Even my father said that everyone has his own use! Besides, I'll just tell you, and I didn't go out to talk about it! ”

Cheng San stopped squeaking, and Niu was so angry that he pinched him, "Look at you like that!" You don't like to hear your brother when you talk about it! ”

Cheng Si of the fourth room said to his daughter-in-law who was doing needlework while wiping the kang and preparing to lay the kang: "It's dark under the lamp, don't do it." I have shoes to wear, what are I doing so much? ”

Fan Shi replied and put down the work in his hand, "How can there be too many shoes!" I'll make you two more pairs of cotton shoes, you really have to go out to work, and you can change your shoes when they're wet. ”

Cheng Si was stunned, and said with a little weakness: "How do you know that I want to go out to work?" ”

Fan scolded him: "I don't know you yet! Now that the family has no money to spare, are you really worried about it? ”

Cheng Si said twice: "My daughter-in-law still understands me!" He said and sighed: "The eldest brother is gone, Yun Xiu can't study, listen to the second brother's intention and don't let him read, then Yun Hui and the little ones in the family have to provide for them." If they don't want to be admitted to the examination like the big brother, they must at least be a showman. ”

With the fame of Xiucai and the land at home, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and you will not have to be afraid of being bullied.

Fan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

She thought to herself: She doesn't even have a son, is it possible that they will have to be a cow and a horse for the rest of their lives, and then go to the eldest brother's two sons?

The fifth room is simple, Cheng Wuzheng discussed with Fu: "Wait until tomorrow I will go to the county seat with Liulang to find out if there is any work?" If you work for a winter, you can save one or two taels of silver, and at least you can earn enough for a few children to study. ”

Fu Shi was worried about his body: "It's better to take care of your body at home!" Our land was not sold, and it was not bad for a month or two. ”

"Don't worry, I've eaten a lot these days, and I've made up for it, so I'm strong!"

In the big house, the Yang family is embroidering, Yunhui is reading, the first year of junior high school is also embroidering a handkerchief, and the seventh day of junior high school is talking to Xue Yunniang in a whisper.

"Your family is so nice! Although there are such and such things on weekdays, but when something happens, the big guys are all in one place. Just rush to this point, and your family will get better and better in the future. ”

Cheng Chuqi felt that she was encouraging herself, but she also thought so, "Yes! In the past, I didn't look down on my second uncle and aunt, but now I see that they also have advantages. No one is perfect, and I used to just look at their mistakes. ”

Xue Yunniang's feet have been almost raised, if the Cheng family had not had an accident, she should have left a long time ago, but if the Cheng family had an accident, she did not leave, but stayed to help them.

After Cheng's family affairs were finished, she proposed to leave.

Chu Qi was a little apologetic, "You want to go to the border?" The border pass is still hundreds of miles away from here, and my family is like this, so I can't let my sixth uncle send you there. ”

"No, no, I'll do it myself."

Chu Qi shook his head: "The further north you go, the colder it gets, and the more sparsely populated it becomes, it's not safe!" I can't let you go! You can stay at my house with peace of mind first, and when it is warm next spring, I will ask my sixth uncle to send you there. ”

Xue Yunniang refused, "It's not easy for your sixth uncle to go so far next year." Or ......"

"But next year I'll be able to make money, and I'll give you a caravan then. Now I don't have any money, and even if I do, few caravans have gone to the border in this cold day. ”
