Chapter 44: I can't get up in one breath, and I'm dizzy
In addition to the sixty-three taels that did not belong to them, there were ten taels of silver.
Five taels of them were brought by her when she went out this time, and the other five taels were left over from the county seat to sell pigs.
However, this adds up to only more than 70 taels......
Thinking of the stolen silver and land deeds, Liu's eyes reddened with hatred.
No matter how tired I am, I can't sleep!
I saw that with a deep hatred in her eyes, she looked at her son who had already followed, and asked in a deep voice.
"Dongsheng, what's going on at home. Who stole the silver and the title deeds? ”
As she spoke, she looked around and asked, "What about the Li family, where did she go?" Did she steal the things at home? ”
It's just that without waiting for Liu Dongsheng to answer, the Liu clan members of Shuiyun Village who have been paying close attention to the Liu family have come to collect debts one after another!
The door of the Liu family, because someone is at home, is open.
When everyone came over, they didn't say hello, and directly asked Liu for money angrily.
"Liu, you're back. Your family owes me 800 Wen, come back quickly! ”
"And me, my family is two taels of silver."
"I don't have many families, and I have 500 Wen."
"My family has 300 Wen."
"And my family, my family borrowed one or two, and that is the bride price money I am going to marry my daughter-in-law."
……
As everyone said a word, Liu's brain was buzzing, and he didn't know what was going on.
Her family's title deeds and silver are gone, and now she doesn't know who stole them, why do she suddenly owe so much money?
She just went out once, not even half a month, how did it become like this?
The people of the Liu clan saw that the Liu family was standing there without moving, and they had no intention of repaying the money at all, and their faces became more and more difficult to look at.
"What, your family owes money and you're not ready to pay it back, or how can you drop it? There is an IOU stamped by your family's Dongsheng himself. At that time, I said that if your family doesn't pay back, you will take the land to compensate. ”
Speaking of the ground, the Liu clan stabbed the hornet's nest this time.
I saw Liu suddenly jump up and point at everyone and scold: "Okay, I said why the title deed and silver at home are gone, it turned out that you stole it." One by one, while I am not at home, I think about my family's things, and I am not afraid of thunder and thunder. Acquaintances hurry up and return my things, otherwise I will report to the official! ”
When Liu Dongsheng wanted to open his mouth to stop his mother, it was too late.
She spoke very quickly, and it didn't take long for her to finish.
When she said that, she looked at the Liu clan viciously, as if all the people in front of her were her father-killing enemies.
The Liu clan borrowed money kindly before, but they didn't ask for interest, so they waited for the Liu family to come back and repay the money.
I don't know the consequence of being kind, being pointed at and scolded as a thief.
Who can bear this?
At that moment, everyone was angry, pointing at Liu and scolding: "You evil woman, you are a murderer, and you dare to say that we are thieves." If you want to report to the official, we will testify that you have to deliberately murder the Li family. ”
"Phew, it's really good to be reciprocated. If it weren't for the sake of the reputation of the clan, we would negotiate with the Li clan and let them not report to the official. Do you think you're still standing here? ”
"If you want to report to the official, you can return our money first and then report it. When the time comes, if you are imprisoned for a few years, or if you are beheaded after the autumn, we will not be able to control it. ”
"That's right! But before reporting to the official, first cross out the name of their family from the family tree! ”
"Phew, it's really bad luck to have such people in the clan!"
……
As everyone said a word, Liu finally sensed that something was wrong.
Since ancient times, the people have been afraid of officials.
She thought that these people had stolen their things and said that they would go to see the officials, and they would be afraid that they would return their things when the time came.
Who knows, things are not quite what she expected.
They didn't take it, and they all knew that she was planning to kill Lee.
And the meaning of their words, the Li clan people have also come, and it seems that they have come to stand up for the Li clan.
Does that mean that the Li family has been picked up by someone from her family?
The two money-losing goods are also not there, are they also taken away?
So what's the matter with the money owed, listen to the amount they report, it's a lot!
Old man Wang is a son-in-law, and the Liu family has always been in charge of the family.
Seeing this posture, he silently retreated to the kitchen.
After a few days of traveling, they didn't sleep well, not even eating.
At this time, Li is not here, so he can only do it himself.
He can't do anything else, but he still can.
Thinking so, Old Man Wang prepared to scoop rice and make porridge.
But the chest where the grain was stored was split open, and it was empty.
For some reason, his eyelids jumped wildly, and he always felt that something bad was happening, so he immediately opened the cellar and prepared to fetch the new rice that had just been shelled half a month ago.
Who knew that when you go down the ladder and look around, the cellar is empty and there is nothing.
Even the rice wine and pickled vegetables that were newly brewed from this summer's harvest are gone.
Old man Wang panicked, crawled back to the ground without saying a word, and rushed out of the kitchen to shout to Liu who was surrounded by the crowd.
"Plum blossoms, what's going on? The cellar at home was empty. The grain, rice wine, pickles, and so on are all gone! ”
Liu, who was extremely tired and half angry to death, heard this, he couldn't get up in one breath, his eyes were over, and he fainted directly.
The people who were still begging for money took a step back when they saw this.
However, thinking of the words of Liu and Old Man Wang just now, everyone couldn't avoid it, and just wanted to get the money first.
"Dongsheng's father, our family kindly lent money to your family Dongsheng, no matter what you say, you have to pay us back, right?"
"That is, I said at the beginning, if I don't have money, I will pay back the land and the house. Why don't you give me this house, and the extra money will be counted by my family? ”
"It's okay to use Dongsheng's work, and when the youngest son of the Donglin family finishes it until the end of the year, the work will be given to our family in the coming year, so you don't have to pay back the money you lent."
……
Old Wang's mind was also buzzing, but the old woman had already fallen, he couldn't fall again, he had to solve the matter in front of him first.
After thinking about it, he said to the Liu clan: "Silver, our family will definitely not be ruined." You two people first, help me carry Dongsheng and his mother back to the house, and in a quarter of an hour, I will ask Dongsheng to give you money. ”
When Liu Dongsheng heard that his father could still take out twenty taels, he looked at him in shock.
"Dad, do we still have money?"
Old man Wang didn't want people to look down on their family, so he nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, when I went out with your mother, I brought money. In addition, the family just sold two pigs, and the silver is completely enough. ”
What's more, the title deed at home is gone, but the house deed is still there.
This house, at that time, was specially written by the Liu family in order to please him, and he personally collected it.
This time, when he went out, he took what he thought was the most important thing with him, so he escaped the disaster.
Just thinking of the grain and wine in the cellar, and then thinking about the silver and the title deed, the old man Wang was still dripping blood in distress.
As soon as the people of the Liu clan heard that they had money and would pay it back in a quarter of an hour, they were not so impatient.
