Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 169 Repayment of Debt

Lu Quan and the others released the money after paying the imperial rations the next day.

This time, the imperial food for the seven households in Xiaoxinzhuang was paid by the money borrowed from the Ding's family by the Lu family's Xiaosi.

Yesterday when Lu Yange came home, he asked Mr. Qiu, and called the big guys to discuss it. In the end, everyone agreed to hand it over.

It's just that when the family didn't come back, I didn't know where to hide the money.

The Qiu family made a decision, my family will go to the Ding family to borrow it first, and when your master comes back, take the money and return it to us, and we will return it to the Ding family.

On the second day, each of the seven families sent a person to the town to pay the money.Hand in one household and cross out the name of one household.

The Lu family was the first to pay, and when Lu Quan went out, the other heads of the Xiaoxinzhuang household rushed to the window anxiously, fearing that the Lu family would leave, and their family would be left without money to pay the emperor's food.

Fortunately, the six households who followed him paid the money, and all the people were released.

That night, no matter whether it was the head of the family who was arrested or the women and children who stayed at home, none of them slept well.

When we saw each other, I couldn't help but get red eyes.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and this time they have suffered a lot.

If it wasn't for the dead dough pancakes that Xiaosi sent, he would have suffered a lot if he split two pieces to fill his stomach.

There were a dozen other people who were imprisoned with them, but they didn't get more water and rice all day and night, and they were hungry and thirsty. Seeing them go out, their eyes were bloodshot.

As soon as they got home, Zhang San and Li Sixi first sent money.

Chen Ping spent most of the money in his hand because he learned the oil-paper umbrella, and only took half of the money when he came to pay back the money from the Lu family.Feeling guilty in his heart, he insisted that when the oil-paper umbrella he made was sold, he would definitely return the Lu family's money.

For the remaining three families, the Winter Solstice family had no money, and they agreed to pay back the wheat they harvested next year.Ma's Second Aunt Ma and Goudanniang didn't know if it was an agreement, or what, they came together and gave thirty coins each, which was confiscated by the Qiu family.

"Dozens of pennies are sent for spreading."

Lu Xiaoli muttered while cleaning up the stove, "I've never seen such a disgusting person. While crying and saying that he has no money, he took out dozens of pennies and said that it was all the money in the family. Such people should be locked up." , what help."

"What do you say?"

Qiu's pocket gave Lu Xiaoli a slap, "You little girl, she keeps her mouth open all day long, what does she look like?"

I don't know if Qiu Shi slapped her hard, or if Lu Xiaoli was in a bad mood, but Qiu Shi slapped her tears.

"Mother, I don't understand. Why do you help them like this? Look at Second Aunt Ma, she keeps talking about her family's lack of land. What, does her family have money to buy more land? Her family thinks it has too little land. Give her another three acres, ask her if she can buy it? Do you have the money to buy the land but don’t have the money to pay the emperor’s grain? Now that our family has advanced money, she will bring it with dozens of pennies, who should I blame?”

"Don't tell me that their family has no money. If there is no money, Aunt Ma will go on and on. There are so many strong laborers in his family, not to mention making eel cages, he earns more than everyone else, so he collects rice for our family, and his family earns more. It’s not like you and dad don’t know how much money you paid there. How can you have no money, are you a fool?”

"Does our family have money? We also borrow money from our family, so why should we help them? Xiao Si asked Brother Xiao Wu to borrow money. It was Ding's family who was very happy, and he borrowed it as soon as he asked. What if Ding's family didn't borrow money?" Does Xiaosi want to lose face? Why should Xiaosi borrow money to help their family?"

The more Lu Xiaoli spoke, the more angry he became, pointing at Lu Xiaosi who was standing by the side, he shouted: "Let me tell you, Lu Xiaosi, my father and mother are thin-skinned, and I'm sorry to refuse people, you have to harden me. You are the man of our family, You are the eldest brother, you are the eldest son. If you are as useless as your parents, how can I expect you if my eldest sister Xiaoyu and I are bullied by my in-laws..."

"Little carp."

"Lu Xiaoli"

"Second sister."

"Second sister."

The Lu family scolded in unison, and Lu Xiaoqing rushed forward to cover Lu Xiaoli's mouth.

How can you say that parents are useless?They just have a good heart and don't want to see others suffer.

"Did I say it wrong? Didn't I?"

Lu Xiaoli struggled and wanted to say something, when he heard the door creak, Boss Ma walked in with a smile.

"Well, Brother Lu, I, I will pay back the money."

As he spoke, he untied the money bag in his hand, took out scattered silver and copper coins from it, and carefully placed them on the square table.

"The second daughter-in-law is a no-brainer. She took the wrong purse and thought she had no money at home."

In fact, the money bag was snatched by Ma's second daughter-in-law, who said she would give it to her, but who knew that she would not be willing to send it all over, and she even discussed it with Goudanniang, and only gave [-] Wen.

He was proud to show off when he went back, but he was slapped by Ma Lao Er, and now he is howling at home.

Boss Ma looked guiltily at Lu Xiaoli who was wiping away tears, "Why are you crying, Xiaoli? It's cold and I'm crying. I'll ask Lanhua to make a pair of shoes for you and Xiaosi next time. Thanks to you two , or, or uncle doesn’t know how long he will be imprisoned.”

As he said that, Ma Boss's tears also came down.The tall and thin man squatted on the ground covering his face and whimpered, "Brother Lu, I'm not afraid of being ashamed. My brother's wife is not a good one. If your family didn't fish out all the big guys, she would be ruthless." Don't let me pay the imperial rations, let me lock it up."

"You say, if I don't come out, what will happen to my orchid heads and orchids? Her mother will throw her orchids on the boat even if she desperately wants her own life. Isn't it just... woo woo woo woo..."

Lu Quan and Qiu Shi looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Boss Ma probably heard what Xiao Li said.

This is equivalent to pointing at someone's face and scolding, no wonder Boss Ma couldn't hold back.

Seeing Boss Ma crying, the children of the Lu family couldn't help but look at each other timidly. Lu Xiaosi took the lead and picked up Lu Xiaowu, followed by Lu Xiaoyu.Lu Xiaoli was still at a loss, was dragged by Lu Xiaoqing, and slipped out of the main room one by one.

As soon as he went out, Father Goudan entered the yard with a wax duck. Seeing the five siblings standing on the veranda, Father Goudan smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Xiao Si, where are your father and mother?"

"It's here, it's here." Mrs. Qiu hurriedly picked it up from the room.

Lu Quan poked his head out behind him: "Come in, it's cold outside."

"Hey." Goudan Daddy entered the door with a smile, and his shy voice could be heard through the wall, "Well, this is the royal food money your family helped to pay, and the pickled wild duck here, for the children Make some soup."

"What are you doing?" Qiu's voice of refusal sounded, "Take it back quickly, the duck is for them to eat, our family has it."

The wild ducks are caught by the big guys in the reed marshes in autumn. Two of them are killed and eaten together by the big guys during the autumn harvest, and a few others are divided among the families.

The Goudan family is not willing to eat it. This wild duck has been marinated and kept for adding meat to the New Year.

I didn't expect it to be sent to Lu's house today. It can be seen that I feel guilty because I didn't do it kindly.
