Chapter 200 Borrowing Money
Chapter 210 Borrowing Money
Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan were in the side yard next door, arguing with the long-term workers about the layout of the spring planting. Seeing Jinxi coming to look for it, and hearing that it was the old Liangtou, Liang Yuzhong was a little surprised.

Since the new house of Liang Yuzhong's house was completed, the number of times that old Liangtou came over is very few. He went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and when he heard Jinxi say that old Liangtou looked very bad, Liang Yuzhong frowned and took the rest of his life away. Let Cai Jinshan and the others work out the rest of the matter, and he hurriedly followed Jinxi to the main courtyard.

In the outer courtyard in front of the main courtyard, Mrs. Sun entrusted the third and fourth children to Mrs. Sun and Ma Dong's care in the inner courtyard, and personally made tea for Lao Liangtou and served snacks on the table.

Old Liangtou didn't sit down, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to the things on the table. Instead, he paced back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back, with a pipe stuck in the corner of his mouth, and he turned around without lighting a fire.Mrs. Sun stood by the side with her hands down, patiently accompanying her.

"What's the matter with the third one? Miss Xi went to call and hasn't seen you for so long?" Old Liangtou complained dissatisfied, looking up at the sky for a while, and at the door of the main room for a while.

"Father, don't worry, the third child will be here in a while, you can sit down and have a rest!" Sun said with a smile.

Sun's words had no practical effect on Old Liangtou, he still looked like he was running away anxiously. Fortunately, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the door of the main room, and then the voices of Liang Yuzhong and Jinxi talking, old Liangtou Overjoyed, he pulled out the tobacco stick and stuck it in his lower back, and stepped out the door.

"Third son, dad has been waiting for you for a while, if you don't come again, dad will go to the side yard to invite you!" Old Liangtou caught Liang Yuzhong and said repeatedly.

Jinxi was surprised, she came in from Lao Liangtou and said to call Liang Yuzhong over to discuss something important, without Sun's greeting, Jinxi went to the side yard, and Liang Yuzhong hurried away when he heard Lao Liangtou coming over here.How long has he been waiting?
Liang Yuzhong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Father, what you said is really annoying to my son. If you have something to say, my son will come here. How dare you ask your old man to invite you!"

"Third son, it's really..." Old Liangtou stood outside the door, holding Liang Yuzhong's hand tightly with his hands intertwined, stooping slightly, as if he was about to vomit bitterness.

"Father, there's wind outside the house, if you have anything to say with Master, come in and sit down!" Jin Xi urged from behind, Liang Yuzhong nodded, and hurriedly helped Old Liang into the main room.

Old Liangtou's buttocks hadn't completely landed on the stool, so he couldn't wait to speak again, and said, "Third son, dad came here today with this old face, not for anything else, just to borrow ten taels of silver from you." Ah, if you don't borrow it, you'll be slapping your old father and me with a shoehorn!"

As soon as the old Liangtou opened his mouth, he took Liang Yuzhong into the army first, Liang Yuzhong was taken aback for a moment, Sun and Jin Xi looked at each other, a trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of both of them, there was something to talk about, and there was something to talk about, how could anyone say anything? Is that how it came up?

"Father, what are you talking about!" Liang Yuzhong didn't like it, he frowned, and sat on the side in silence, Jin Xi knew that Liang Yuzhong's sincere and fiery heart of a filial son was extinguished by the old Liangtou as soon as he came up.

"Master, let's not talk about borrowing or not, ten taels of silver is a lot of money for our farmer's family, you have to tell us why you borrowed it first?" Jin Xi said.

Liang Yuzhong raised his eyes to look at Old Liangtou, who sighed and sat down on the chair as if his strength had been taken away from him, and said, "Third brother, don't worry about this with dad, dad is too impatient, he treats you It’s been a while since I’ve talked. I’m not going to hide it from you guys, I borrowed these ten taels of silver for your eldest brother, and used it for his expenses!”

"Ah?" Liang Yuzhong was surprised, he glanced at Sun and Jinxi, both Sun and Jinxi were puzzled, they had never heard of anyone being exiled or imprisoned, and such a huge sum of money was required of!
"Grandpa, isn't this uncle already convicted? The list has been posted, and you're going to deal with it. Isn't it a waste of time for a blind man to light a lamp! Besides, uncle is not going out to swim in the mountains and rivers, what else do you want?" Expenses?" Jin Xi couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, don't mention it, what your uncle has suffered this time is worse than that of being in prison. He has a narrow escape, a narrow escape!" Old Liang patted the table in pain, his eyes turned red immediately, and his throat turned red. It's too rough, as if, it's sad and worried.

Jin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and Liang Yuzhong and Sun's also exchanged vigilant glances. The villagers only knew that Liang Yuju was in jail at the county government, and Liang Lihui only told Jinxi's family about Liang Yuju's exile in Xidaba. Could it be, old Liang? Got it?

"Father, isn't it just a three-year prison sentence? If the eldest brother changes his mind inside, he might be able to come out early. There is no chance of death, so don't worry too much..." Liang Yuzhong reassured.

Old Liang waved his hand, stopped Liang Yuzhong from comforting him, and said, "Don't mention it, I know everything, your elder brother is going to be exiled to West Dam. West Dam...that place, it's bitter... Even if you can come back alive, you will have to shed a few layers of skin!"

"Master, where did you hear that?" Jin Xi asked.

"That's right, those villagers like to catch wind and shadow, and chew their tongues!" Liang Yuzhong said.

"Hey, Boy Hui has a deep grudge against his father. He said he hid half of it. We were all deceived by Boy Hui. Your elder brother was really exiled. I sneaked into the county jail yesterday, and he told me about it personally. !” Lao Liang said with a headache.

"Father, the county town is half a day's journey away from us, even if you drive a car. You said that you are getting old and sneaking there alone. You have to tell our brothers about this, no matter what!" Liang Yuzhong said a little Annoyed, Lao Liang has a bad throat and may fall ill at any time, so what should I do in case something goes wrong along the way?

"Hey, it's not like your mother is nagging in my ear every day. Looking at your elder brother's birthday on the sixth day of February, your mother asked me to send two boiled eggs to him to peel the shells and newborns. And when he After being roasted, I wore the same clothes, and there was no one to change, and I brought two sets of clothes with me."

"It happened that someone in the village was going to the town, so I took their ride to the town and hired a bullock cart from the town to go to the county seat. The yamen has a rule that new prisoners are not allowed to visit the prison. I found Li Hui, and it was him. I asked someone to let me go to the prison to visit the prison, and Lihui hired a car to take me back to the village. I got off the car as soon as it was delivered to the official road in front of your gate, and came to you before I even entered the village! "

Liang Yuzhong's birthday falls in the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year, and it is Mrs. Sun who boils eggs for him and peels the shells for newborns. Mrs. Tan has never asked about this matter.

Jin Xi glanced at Liang Yuzhong's instantly depressed face, shifted her gaze to Old Liangtou, and said, "Master, since uncle is going to be exiled to the West Dam, he must have been reformed in the past, not going out for a tour of the mountains and rivers, half-literate." There's no use for the money."

Old Liangtou looked at Jin Xi very dissatisfied, and said anxiously: "You are a child, how do you know the way in this place? Your father and I worked as knife and pen officials in the county at that time. Have you ever seen it? Xidaba It's dark there, if we don't show respect to the guards there, maybe your uncle will be tortured to death within half a month once he passes by!"

"Grandpa, didn't you sell Liangji's grocery store, as well as your family's savings, chickens, ducks and pigs, into cash to get some cash? Why, it was all in vain?" Jin Xi asked again.

Old Liangtou's face darkened, he glanced at Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun, and found that the couple were silent in tacit understanding. Old Liangtou was annoyed in his heart, knowing that if he wanted to borrow money, he had to continue to argue with this granddaughter, because The real head of Sanfang is neither his third son nor his third daughter-in-law, but this shrewd ghost girl!
"Xi'er, I know that you are a good, sensible and generous child, a good granddaughter of my grandfather, and capable. I will not hide it from you. It took a lot of money to manage relationships, but it depends on people to make things happen. Who knew that the water at the gate of the yamen was deep and muddy, and in the end all our hard-earned money was wasted, and your uncle still had to be sentenced to such a heavy sentence, what a shame!"

Old Liangtou's resentful tone coupled with that painful expression, if you don't know it, people who see this for the first time will really think why such a big injustice befell them, but if you know Liang Yuju's character and the things he committed Things, there is only one feeling: refreshing!

"The remaining part is not enough to compensate those injured customers. No, your grandma's gold bracelet, silver earrings, and your aunt's emerald red hairpin are all taken to the pawn shop. Only reluctantly paid the compensation."

"Now, grandma really can't come up with half a tael of silver, so I have to come to your family for help! Xi'er, this time, you have to help me no matter what. Besides coming to you, I really can't think of anything else. Where should I go to borrow these ten taels of silver?" Old Liang looked at Jin Xi with moist eyes, and said.

Liang Yuzhong and the Sun family are kind-hearted, and they will always stick to their attitudes unless it is the bottom line of selling children and girls. For other trivial matters that do not involve the bottom line, such as suffering a little bit of suffering and suffering, the couple has never Not really holding grudges.Seeing Lao Liang's humble and pitiful expression now, the hearts of the couple softened a bit.

However, Jin Xi is different from them, Jin Xi is a master who doesn't take hard and soft, and only takes care of her own affairs.

Seeing Liang Yuzhong was almost about to speak, Jin Xi waved his hand at him, seemed to ponder for a while, raised her eyes and smiled slightly and asked Old Liang, "Don't blame me for what my granddaughter said, I keep saying that I'm borrowing money from us. May I ask, grandpa and grandma now live in separate households and rely on the second uncle and fourth uncle in rotation, ten taels of silver, what can I get to pay back? Master, a lesson from the past, a teacher for the future, isn't the granddaughter reluctant to borrow the ten taels of silver, It's just that I'm afraid that my master's trip will be in vain again!"

Old Liangtou's face froze, yes, all the way out of the county prison, his mind was echoing over and over again that Liang Yuju smashed the two eggs on the prison wall, and then grabbed the wooden fence in ragged clothes. With the hysterical appearance of the old Liangtou, he said that he would not go to the West Dam and did not want to die...
