Chapter 16 Debt Collection (Overhaul)

Seeing Xiuniang enter the room, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Oh my mother, I'm so ridiculous, sister, you really belong to me."

Xiu Niang came over and saw that the man was still laughing, so she said, "Sister-in-law Six, don't laugh any more, you'll get angry after a while."

Mrs. Liu waved her hands along with her, holding back a smile, "It doesn't matter, it made me laugh enough. You didn't see it just now, but you pushed Aunt Zhao out because of her shy stomach..."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu laughed more and more and lost her voice, Xiu Niang shook her head and smiled, picked up the clothes in the embroidered blue, and sewed them with the first stitches. Seeing that the sixth sister-in-law was so happy, she was really happy. I don't know, how ridiculous this is.

Xiu Niang said while she was working, "Sister-in-law Liu, do you think it was bad for me to do that to Aunt Zhao just now?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and came over, "Yo, don't think about it, if you don't invite people out, she will still think that we are rushing to beg for her family's money, and we will catch her saliva with a pestle. Xingzi. After all, people are all steamed, they have ears and eyes, they know how to hear and see, and they breathe out when they should, and they can't hold back."

Xiu Niang listened and smiled, "I wanted to find something for others, but when I got angry, I couldn't hold it anymore. I don't know what Aunt Zhao has to do with Chu Ge. I should have asked first."

Mrs. Liu paused, and said something, "Hey, Aunt Zhao, what can she do? I just want to find someone to tell how big her family's business is. Don't think about it." ,what?"

Xiu Niang heard it strange, why someone rushed to someone's house to show off, but the sixth sister-in-law said so, she followed suit and didn't continue chatting.

After a few steps, Mrs. Liu took over and finished the sewing. When she finished sewing, she pulled up the clothes and was watching with Xiuniang, when she heard another noise outside.

Xiu Niang listened carefully, she heard Chu Ge's voice, she and Mrs. Liu glanced at each other, they put down their clothes and went out.

Behind the door, Mrs. Liu heard Aunt Zhao's words first, and she followed to hold Xiu Niang, "Sister, you go back to the room first, I'll go and see what's going on."

Xiu Niang listened to the sentence, and knew that Aunt Zhao's visit today was definitely not for showing off. She looked for Chu Ge as soon as she entered the door. There must be something wrong. , what’s the matter, he’s still standing in front, it’s fine.”

After speaking, before Mrs. Liu could speak, Xiu Niang pushed open the door and went out. By coincidence, she stepped forward with a strong body, but Xiu Niang stepped back a few steps because of being bumped, so that two big hands could catch her back. He fell on Mrs. Liu behind.

Chu Ge stepped on the doorstep and supported Xiu Niang, "How is it, is Mo (all) okay?"

Xiu Niang touched her forehead, she was really a piece of wood, "It's okay, it's alright."

Wen Shi looked at Xiuniang, she was going to get angry, but when something happened, she said loudly, "Okay, Chu Ge, you just said that money is tight, so why don't you have some spare money for your daughter-in-law?" Do you want to buy clothes?"

Xiu Niang don't look over her head, okay, there are so many people standing at the entrance of her house at this moment, and since there are many people passing by at this time, it is estimated that Wen Shi will make a lot of noise as soon as he arrives. Everyone was recruited, and even many neighbors around them came out with their aprons tied around their waists to watch things.

Liu patted her thigh secretly, and when it was over, the more she was afraid, the more coincidental, she looked at Erwazi standing aside, annoyed, and called him into the room first.

Chu Ge looked at Wen Shi, "Auntie, let's go into the room and talk."

Wen Shi waved his hand and pinched his waist, "Don't make me go in, I came here today just to ask you, when are you going to Shangyang Village?"

Xiu Niang listened and asked Chu Ge, "What's the matter?"

As soon as Chu Ge was about to speak, Wen Shi started to speak, "Don't pretend, you are wearing cotton material, this set is quite a lot of money."

Oh, Xiuniang understands, no wonder Aunt Zhao took her hand as soon as she entered the door, and rubbed her sleeves along the way, as if she was looking for something.

Seeing people surrounding Qiqi, Wen said again, "I said Chu Geer, a new wife is easy to display, my aunt knows it, but you can't use other people's money to make your wife beautiful." .”

Chu Ge frowned, "Auntie, there was a lot of business at home last time, you have to wait a few more days, and I will go to your house tomorrow with a mountain bag."

At this point, Xiuniang understood almost everything, anyway, the word money is inseparable, she thought about it and said, "What's wrong with Chu Ge, what does Auntie mean?"

Wen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hummed to Xiu Niang, "Oh, dare Chu Ge didn't tell you, he borrowed (borrowed) all the money for buying land and houses from me, as agreed Pay back one copy a year, won't your new wife know?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her anger, "Oh, Auntie, why did you just say that?"

Wen's eyes straightened, "Why can't I say that, hello Liu's babysitter."

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu, and saw that she was looking at her silently, with no smile on her face. It seemed that it was true that Chu Ge borrowed money from someone.

Looking at Mrs. Liu in a hurry, people say, don't marry a poor man for clothes and food, this Chu Ge entrusted his younger siblings to guard a dilapidated hall, and even a few acres of land can't grow anything, in line with the family Life is tight, finding a daughter-in-law is good enough, but now that Xiuniang knows that this poor family still owes foreign debts, what does that person think.

Mrs. Liu looked at the many people looking for excitement outside, and was afraid that Xiuniang would be upset if she was not happy. After spending a few days with Xiuniang, she knew that this little girl looked soft, but when she got angry, she was firewood. Yes, sparks come out as soon as you touch it, so you have to relax her first.

"Sister, what the hell, let's go into the house first..."

Xiu Niang looked at it but smiled, and she said to Wen, "Sister-in-law Six is ​​talking about it, auntie, let's go into the room and talk, look at the sun, it's very hot."

Wenshi blinked, didn't this person not know about this, why didn't he make trouble, she said in a different way, "I won't go in, just talk here, let the folks listen carefully, Chu Ge, I will watch To be honest, you must have been instigated to lose all your money."

The mother-in-law standing next to her listened, thinking that there was something wrong, she covered her mouth and talked behind her back, she had been staring at this lazy woman for a long time, didn't she change her clothes when she first came, she looked like something It's a good material, dare to love it was found by Chuge, the troublemaker.

Chu Ge tightened his hand on Xiuniang's back, and said one by one, "Auntie, what you said is wrong, Xiuniang doesn't know anything, and I'm the one who pays back the money, and I'm the one who said it before." I didn't calculate it well, but I should pay back how much, I, Chu Ge, won't lose my aunt for a penny."

When Xiu Niang heard this, she was full of heart. Does this idiot know how to protect others? She asked Chu Ge softly, "How much money do you need from your aunt?"

Chu Ge looked back at Xiu Niang, he didn't expect her to be so close to him, he replied honestly, "F-count the remaining 15 taels of silver."

Xiu Niang nodded after hearing this, and walked a few steps towards Wen's, "Auntie, I really don't know if you don't tell me, it's hard for Chu Ge to hide from me. Tight trouser belts and wringing fingers is the reason for this, you said that if he had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have saved money with him for one meal a day and paid it back to you, auntie.”

The people around saw that what she said was true, and there was a bit of pain in her words, and they all lost their minds.

"Oh, Auntie, when everyone has a problem, you can give them a few days."

"Old Zhao's family, you're doing business first, you're full of money in the village, why are you so cruel to others?"

"Press me, old sister-in-law, you're not right, we need to be a little bit hurt when we grow up, Rener Chuge, a little kid, don't say it, why do you know how to pinch it?"

"As his Aunt Zhao, she lives in a village. She is not well-to-do, and her life is tight, so don't hold her back."

The women and aunts who are nearby are chatting loudly about her, and some of them who have a bad relationship with Wenshi whisper her a little bit softly.

Wen himself hesitated and didn't open his mouth. This matter was all done by Xiu Niang. Everyone in the village believed that she was talking about it and said no. She got angry and asked someone to complain. But it's not easy.

Seeing that he couldn't continue, Wen glanced at the front, and moved his mouth loudly, "Stop arguing, this is the point, I'm here to settle accounts, Chu Geer, you Give me a happy word, and I still won't pay it back today."

Chu Ge also became angry. He lowered his face and was about to speak, but he asked Xiu Niang to speak first, "Look at you, Auntie, you are so angry. Chu Ge is going to go to the village today. I've been stuck looking for it, and now we'll settle the account."

Wen looked closely at Xiuniang, guessing that she was speaking in a fit of anger, "Okay, the total is 15 taels of silver, take the money!"

Xiu Niang smiled, "Take the money, but things have to be done step by step, thinking that Chu Ge borrowed money before, there must be written documents, so the sixth sister-in-law also has a policy, and the big guy is here today Now, we happen to transfer the account to Yin with one hand, what do you think, auntie?"

Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, and said straight away, "What list?"

Xiu Niang smiled, "You came here to settle the accounts, but you didn't bring an IOU, so what are you here for...?"

Wen's choked, she was clearly here to find trouble, seeing the face of the village changed, she hastily said to Xiu Niang, "Okay, okay. It's been two days for you to go around, tomorrow, tomorrow, I will send me home."

As he said that, he wiped away the crowd and left in a despondent manner.
