Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

Chapter 8

"No, didn't you just say 30 taels?"

"What I'm talking about is that Chu Shouxin borrowed 30 taels of silver. Could it be that you think that our Fortune Gambling Shop is doing good deeds, and we don't charge interest for borrowing money?"

Chu Pinggui was struck by lightning.

The debt of 30 taels was like a huge mountain to him, but for the sake of his son, he gritted his teeth and wanted to hold on.

But now, when he had already planned to cook delicious bran swallowed vegetables for a few years, he was suddenly told that the debt had soared from 30 taels to 50 taels.

50 two!
50 taels of silver!
Even if it took his old life, he couldn't make it out.

Chu Pinggui turned dizzily with intuition, and then fell limply with a sway of his body.

"Old man!"

"Fifth, fifth, are you okay?"

Chu Pinglin was the closest to Chu Pinggui, seeing him about to fall, he hurried to help him, "Oh, you can't have an accident, this big family is still counting on you..."

Chu Pinggui felt sad from his heart, "That evil is going to destroy this family!"

Their family lived better than the rest of the family, but it was because of their hard work that they rented [-] mu more land than the big guys, so they got more food.

But these grains, after paying the tax and deducting the rent, the rest is not half of the harvest. Even if the production of the ten mu of land is added, it is very difficult to feed such a large family.

That's why they never eat new grain, and every time they collect new grain, they send it to the town to exchange for silver, and then buy coarse grain and old grain to eat, so that they can live with a little extra money.

Not much though.

When the times are good, you can save a few taels of silver.

But if there is a natural disaster, it is very likely that life will be a problem, let alone changing money.

Don't look at their fathers who have worked hard from dawn to dusk to cultivate dozens of acres of land, but after so many years, they have no ability to buy more land.

Life has been tight.

Thanks to the good weather and weather in the past two years, a few buckets of grain were collected, and the few pigs raised were not lost. Only a little looser.

That's why he has the confidence to accept the debt of 30 taels of silver.

It was also because he still had some family background that the elder brother and the others dared to borrow money.

Although there are not many in each family, there are more than ten taels in total.

He calculated carefully, although the famine of more than a dozen taels of silver made his head heavy, but fortunately, Saburo Shiro was not in a hurry to get married when he was young, so he didn't have anything to spend. .

Gritting my teeth for two years, I paid it back.

It's a pity, originally he was planning to buy two acres of high-quality farmland when he had saved enough 20 taels of silver.

result……

Ugh.

Forget it, I don't want to.

As long as the whole family is neat and tidy, if the money is gone, it will be gone, and it will be earned later.

Chu Pinggui felt that his mind was calm enough, and he didn't collapse even after such a big incident happened, and he was able to stabilize his emotions and plan carefully, so he was able to stand up to it.

But now, he collapsed.

Completely overwhelmed by the sudden extra 20 taels of silver, "Brother..."

Chu Pinggui burst into tears, "This family is going to be destroyed!"

Seeing him like this, Chu Pinglin couldn't bear it, and said in a deep voice, "Fifth, don't worry, keep calm..."

"I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore, I can't live this day..."

Old Chen sat on the ground and patted his legs and cried loudly, "You guys are trying to force people to death, you don't bully people like that!"

"If you have a dark heart, you are not afraid that the sky will strike you with thunder..."

Hei San said coldly, "If you curse again, chop off one of your son's fingers, if you curse ten times, chop off both hands!"

Chu Pinggui became anxious, and shouted loudly, "Shut up!"

The scolding stopped abruptly.

Old Chen's old face turned dark purple, "30 taels of silver, 20 taels of interest, they are clearly robbers..."

Hei San sneered, "If the old lady refuses to accept it, she can sue the county magistrate."

Old Chen was angry and hated, "To make such black-hearted money..."

"what--!"

Hei San made a gesture, and Chu Shouxin's man, who was pressing it, stepped on his wound, and the shrill scream that shocked people's scalps resounded again, resounding through the sky.

"Fifth, fifth, wake up."

Chu Pinggui, who was already exhausted and almost unable to hold on, was directly stunned by his son's screams, which shocked Chu Pinglin and Chu Pingzhang.

However, the instigator of the incident, Chu Shouxin, had no time to care about him, "Mom! Please, stop scolding, and get the money! Get the money! I know the family has money, so you can't hide it from me!"

Chu Shouren, Chu Shouyi, and Chu Shouzhi were about to carry Chu Pinggui into the house when they all changed their expressions, even Dalang and Erlang's expressions darkened.

"The money in the public house belongs to the big guy, why should I pay you off your gambling debts?"

"That is, the money borrowed by the fifth brother was all done by him alone, so why do you have to pay it back?"

"Mom, how much money do you have?"

"No matter how much money you have, you can't repay the gambling debt. If the fifth child has the ability to borrow, he will be able to repay it. We don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, he borrowed the money, none of us saw it, so it has nothing to do with us."

As soon as Chu Pinggui fell, the three brothers Chu Shouren, Chu Shouyi, and Chu Shouzhi jumped up, yelling at Mrs. Chen to separate Chu Shouxin.

Sangshi was so frightened that he couldn't help but cry.

Chu Shouxin yelled angrily, "Are any of you brothers like this? This is trying to force me to death!"

Chu Pinglin frowned, "Stop arguing, wait until your father wakes up."

Chu Shouren's brothers quarreled so much that they couldn't care about their comatose father, Chu Pinggui was still carried into the house by Chu Pinglin, Chu Pingzhang, Chu Pingzhao and other elder brothers.

Chu Pinglin came out to call for a doctor, and they were still arguing, it was unreasonable.

When the patriarch spoke, everyone naturally had to listen obediently. Even Chu Shouzhi, who was the loudest, shut his mouth and stopped talking.

However, Chu Shouren didn't want to miss the opportunity. He said to the old Chen, "Mother, if the fifth child makes a fuss like this, it will definitely affect Dalang. If he is not separated, Dalang's books over the years will be wasted. Even if you have a lot of knowledge, you can't be an official...

Anyway, with him, without our big house, with us, without him, mother figured it out. "

Old Chen glared at his son on the ground resentfully, and said bitterly, "I don't want this son anymore, so I'll pretend I never gave birth to him."

Chu Shouxin roared wildly, "Old godmother! Why are you so cruel!"

Hei San said quietly, "Okay, don't act! I have seen this kind of thing a lot. It doesn't matter whether you are kicked out of the house or expelled from the family, you are still the blood of the Chu family, so you have to pay the money he owes. return."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't want this son anymore. If you have the ability, you can kill him. Anyway, do you want money?" The money still has to be paid back.”

Old Chen roared, "No money!"

"If you don't have money, you can sell houses, land, cattle, pigs, and people. You can sell anything. We will convert them at the market price."

The money is old Chen's life, the house, the land, and the two black pigs are also her life, how can she hand it over, it's human...

She pointed to the crying Sang, "Then you take him and his wife away..."

"It's worthless at this age, well, it's worth five taels, and there are still 45 taels. Hurry up, my patience is running out."

What do you mean?
Old Chen blurted out and asked, "How much is that little girl worth without growing up?"

"It depends on the person..."

Hei San raised his eyebrows ambiguously, good looks are naturally more expensive..."

Old Chen's spirit lifted, "Zhao Di! Pan Di! Come out!"
