Chapter 33
Xu Mengxiao tilted her head, "But we didn't hold off on paying it back, right? We paid it back to you on time, and we were the first to pay it back to your family."

When she came, Uncle Li Zheng specially asked her not to run into the couple, but Xu Mengxiao said: "If you don't want to borrow it, we won't force you. The reason why you were willing to borrow it in the first place was not because of the high interest rate." money!"

After borrowing three taels of silver, I finally got five taels and a half. Within half a year, it was higher than the current private loans.

"What the hell, you still want to borrow money without paying interest? It's a beautiful thought. With Lu He's medicine jar and you as a broom star, your family will be penniless for the rest of your life!" Lu Shi said unceremoniously.

The sixth uncle scolded him, "Stone!"

"Sir, am I wrong? The medicine Lu He drank was so expensive. My second uncle's family can't afford it. If I had contracted such a disease of wealth, I would have killed myself and dragged down my family!"

Xu Mengxiao narrowed her eyes, anger rising in her heart, thinking that Lu He was obviously seriously ill but pretended to be fine, often getting up and going hunting.

That's right, if it weren't for the fact that his illness couldn't be cured by giving him a therapeutic drug, Xu Mengxiao himself, a doctor, would never have thought that he would be so ill.

Her mother's dilapidated body, which had been suffering from chronic illness for a long time, was almost cured by drinking the healing potion for a period of time. Lu He only recovered like a flashback within two days, and his body became increasingly weak.

Under such circumstances, he always pretended to be okay.

"I hope you can still say such strong words when you are really sick." Xu Mengxiao looked him up and down. The first time he saw him, he could tell that this man was seriously ill. He originally wanted to remind him. , now let’s wait for him to get sick and see if he will hit his head and die!

"What are you looking at? You're not leaving yet!"

"Isn't it because I don't want to give you such a high interest rate?" Xu Mengxiao looked at the short old man in front of him, "Sixth Uncle, are you willing to lend me some money to help me in an emergency?"

The old man's eyes flashed, but before he could say anything, Lu Shi in front of him picked up a hoe and said, "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't leave, I will beat you!"

He didn't dare to do anything to Lu Hai, a man with strong military skills, but he was not polite at all to Xu Mengxiao.

Seeing her not even frowning, I immediately hit her and taught her a lesson!
"Stone!" At this time, the sixth uncle finally pulled him down, "What are you doing? They are all relatives, and you are tampering with them. Why don't you put them away!"

"Master, we can't borrow it anymore. Our family will have a hard time."

"Then we can't just watch Lu He die!"

Xu Mengxiao watched their performance quietly. It was very good. One played the red face, the other played the bad face, and they worked together to fool her!
If you wanted to stop me, why would you have gone there?

After they finished scolding, they started to move again, and then they looked confused: "Lu He's wife, look, it's not that the sixth uncle doesn't want to borrow it, it's really..."

"Then what can Uncle Six do to lend us money? If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing we could do, we wouldn't..." Xu Mengxiao was curious about what they wanted to do.

"Otherwise, I will borrow five taels of silver from your family according to the previous borrowing method, and you will have to pay back ten taels within three months. Otherwise, our family will not be able to survive. Lu Shi's wife is now pregnant. Our family also squeezed this money out of our teeth."

Xu Mengxiao sneered in her heart, what a lion!
It seems that this sixth uncle is not a good person either.

"Uncle Sixth has such a big gap in his teeth that he can squeeze out five taels of tooth."

Uncle Six choked up, "You didn't just return this a while ago. I'll lend it to you..."

"No, sir, they won't even be able to pay back the principal by then, let alone the interest!" Ms. Chen on the side really didn't want to borrow. From the moment Lu Hai said she couldn't afford such a high interest, she felt that she couldn't afford it anymore. If you borrow it, you don’t have to lose all your money!
Uncle Liu really wanted to scold women for their kindness!
If you can’t pay back the money, don’t you still have land?
The Lu family also has several acres of good farmland. If they really don’t get it, they can’t pledge it to them at a low price!
Uncle Liu had been coveting it for a long time. Those few acres of land had the best harvest in the Lu family. They happened to be connected with their family's land, so it was easy to take care of them.

Lu Shi rolled his eyes and understood what his master meant, but his face became even more obstructive, "Five taels are all our belongings. What can we do if we borrow them? Unless we pay back 15 taels by then, the risk is too great." !" The risk is too great, you don't have to borrow, but accuse them of shamelessly borrowing money, while greedily wanting huge amounts of interest.

All the good news has been taken by you!

"How about this? I'll lend you five taels, and you'll pay me back 15 taels in three months?" Xu Mengxiao looked serious.

One old and one young, two men who were acting fiercely suddenly stopped.

"Lu He's wife, what do you mean? My sixth uncle also sincerely wants to help your family, taking the risk that you may not be able to repay him, but he is just afraid that Lu He will do something wrong, and you are blaming us in your words!"

"Uncle Sixth clearly knows that with my father's personality, even if he really can't pay it back, he will pledge other things to you. He also said that the risk is high. If you really felt that the risk was high, you wouldn't lend it, right? But while saying that he wants to help us, On the other hand, the lion opened his mouth again..."

Xu Mengxiao clicked her tongue, "If we borrowed five taels from any house in the village and gave us half a tael for half a year, I'm afraid there would be many people who would follow us. Uncle Liu, tell me why my dad and the others still lent money to your house in the first place." Where’s the money?”

"Even if I borrow from a lender, the interest rate is not as high as yours!"

"You don't mind borrowing it if you think it's expensive!" Lu Shi was instantly angry, "If you don't want to borrow it to play with us, you're a poor guy, so don't borrow it if you can't afford it!"

Xu Mengxiao finally figured it out. Uncle Li Zheng and the others were embarrassed to have the shamelessness to borrow money. This family was so open-minded that they were even more embarrassed to refuse.

In the end, this family was lucky. They were like scoundrels who didn't pay back the money, but they took advantage of all the fame and money!
"Still saying the same thing, I hope you won't have to borrow money one day." Xu Mengxiao looked at them thoughtfully, turned around and left.

The reason why we talked nonsense with them for a long time was because Uncle Li Zheng kept praising the sixth uncle as a good person, but this is the result?
Xu Mengxiao knew that he was just like her just now and was afraid that he had been deceived by their double act.

In modern times, old people who borrow money and don't repay it are indeed hateful, but in ancient times, especially in front of the people of the same clan who help each other, your family will help me today, and my family will help you tomorrow. As long as there is coming and going, interest can also be given. , but people like them are more ruthless than lending money and look arrogant...

Xu Mengxiao wanted to say, borrow a shit!
But before she could walk a certain distance, the sixth uncle shouted from behind: "Daughter-in-law Lu He, everything is easy to talk about! Come back, I will lend you money, and the interest can be less... five taels, only five taels!"

"Three two..."

Xu Mengxiao didn't even look back.

"Sir, they simply can't afford the loan. I'm afraid they don't want to give us interest yet. They're trying to get nothing out of nothing!" Lu Shi looked bored, as if they were old people.

The sixth uncle also darkened his face, "I can't afford to borrow the money but I still have the nerve to come to the door. I didn't expect this to be so hypocritical!"

"Stop dealing with this poor family, lest you get sucked into it. Several acres of their fields have been abandoned this year. I'm afraid they will become even poorer. Stay away from them..."

At this moment, Xu Mengxiao was walking on a country road, heading straight to Uncle Li De's house. Fortunately, she was more thoughtful and knew that there were other carpenters in Yaoyu Village.

Although he is not as good as his uncle Liu who has been doing the crafts all his life, he can still do rough work for Lu He.

Especially after Xu Mengxiao knocked on the door, she tested the man and saw that he was honest and trustworthy, so she even smiled.

"If you help us make this thing, we can give you [-] yuan as wages. We are pressed for time. I hope Uncle Li De can hurry up and try to complete it within two days. If he does a good job, there may be unexpected surprises when he comes back..."
