Chapter 62: Family Separation
It is not easy for any family to save some money. To be so poor with three houses and a nest of diseased seedlings is no different from wasting money.
But the life of the three-bedroom family members has improved, and they have made a little money with the big guys. They also took the initiative to pay back half of the money and gave them gifts, which made them feel more comfortable.
It's just that the words that the fat aunt said yesterday when she went door to door made those who sympathized with Sanfang change their minds again. They felt that Sanfang was hiding money and refused to repay the debt, fearing that Sanfang would default on the debt.
Looking at the medicinal cloth on Bai Wei's forehead, and looking at Bai Xing who was hiding behind Bai Liu and not daring to show up, the women felt a little regretful about coming here.
"How is Bai Wei's injury? What did the doctor say?" Haizi's wife asked. In fact, she was dragged here, so her tone was much more sincere.
"The third girl was seriously injured. She was unconscious for a whole day and night in the hospital before she woke up. The doctor said at the time that she might be... Fortunately, this girl is fine, otherwise how would I be able to survive?" Mentioning Bai Wei's injury
, Mrs. Bai Liu lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
When Bai Liushu's daughter-in-law, Bai Zhao, saw Bai Liu crying like this, her eyes turned red, and she even regretted that she shouldn't have been invited over.
Several people comforted Bai Liu, and then Bai Liu stopped crying.
Bai Ling came back soon and felt relieved when he saw that although Bai Liu's eyes were red, she didn't look irritated.
"This is all the money at home."
Bai Ling opened the money bag. There were a few pieces of silver in it, and the rest were copper coins.
"My father said that he borrowed a total of nine taels and one hundred cents, and he paid back half of it before, which means he is still four taels and fifty cents short. This is obviously not enough. Please discuss this with your aunts.
Whoever needs it urgently should pay it back first. If it’s not enough, our family will try to pay it back before the end of the year. At most, it won’t be delayed until next spring plowing, okay?”
The strong daughter-in-law smiled awkwardly. Her family had originally lent three hundred cash to Bai Sanshu, but they paid back half of it last time. In fact, the difference was only one hundred and fifty cash.
Bai Ling had already handed one hundred and fifty yuan to the strong wife. After receiving the IOU, he looked at the other people.
"Your uncle Liu Tang went to work in the county, and the food at home is enough for chewing, so I won't take it anymore." Bai Zhao was the first to express his position.
"Haizi goes hunting in the mountains these days, and he can earn a lot of money, and the family is not so tight. I'll wait until you guys can loosen up a bit. At least you can still have some money left on your hands, right?" Haizi's wife looked at Bai Liu's wife.
He couldn't bear to say: "Second girl, with your family's situation, my aunt can't help you much. I'll ask your uncle to send you some game later to replenish your mother and the others. This body is more important than anything else."
"Yes, I will ask Goudan to send ten eggs in a moment." Bai Zhao said hurriedly.
"Thank you so much, uncle and aunt. I still have more than twenty wild eggs that I found earlier. My father caught them at the foot of the mountain and sold none. I won't be at a loss for my mother and the others." Bai Ling said sheepishly.
No, I can’t say that my food is the best in the village.
In fact, the village chief's family received most of the money Bai Sanshu borrowed. Bai Wanshi didn't come over, so the remaining money was enough to pay back to these families.
But Bai Lingcai didn't dare to expose himself, and he also wanted to test those people for longer-term relationships, so he did this.
When several other women saw this, some said they had urgent needs at home, so they gave the IOU to Bai Ling and took the money, while others said there was no need to worry.
Bailiu's wife and the others were either recovering from injuries or illness. When these people who came to collect debts had achieved their purpose, they were too embarrassed to stay any longer. After talking, they went home.
But after a while, the families who didn't take any money asked their children to bring eggs and other things. Haizi's wife actually sent a pheasant.
On the other hand, those families took the money, and only the strong wife asked her children to give away a few kilograms of millet.
Bai Ling saw all this in his eyes. Seeing that Bai Wei was not very happy, he smiled and comforted: "Do you think we should be angry? When we left home, it was still a question of whether we could survive, but these families
He is one of the few people in the whole village who is willing to lend us money to help us tide over the difficulties."
"I'm not angry about this. You should pay back your debts. But when they came to our house together, they clearly wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to force us to pay back the money. This is money made by our family, otherwise we would have to kill our sisters.
You can't sell it." Bai Wei said with a straight face.
"But we have really made money, and no one has ever come to force us to pay off the debt before, so you won't use your head to think about why they came together to collect the debt." Bai Ling shook his head helplessly.
"Why else? You know our family gets money." Bai Wei pouted.
"If this is really the case, they should have come two days ago." Bai Ling made a silk flower and put it on Bai Xing's head, praising: "Our Xing'er is really a little beauty, she looks good no matter what she wears."
Bai Xing nestled in Bai Liu's arms, raised her hand and touched the silk flowers without saying a word.
"Is it the old man's fault again?" Bai Wei quickly thought of this.
"Otherwise?" Bai Ling smiled faintly, picked another piece of rag, and planned to make one for Bai Wei.
"Why? What good will this do to the old house?" Bai Wei asked in confusion.
"We feel relieved when we see that the old house is not having a good time. In the same way, they don't dare to come to our house to make trouble, but they are waiting to see our house make trouble." Bai Ling sneered. In front of Bai Liu, what should we pay attention to when speaking?
After a while, she said, "I thought we were just like her, borrowing money and not wanting to pay it back. She just wanted to cause trouble for us and make us break up with these families. By then, the whole village would have to blame the third family to death."
"Oh, it's so idle." Bai Wei closed her eyes in boredom, "When will our family stop being afraid of people knowing that we are rich, our old house won't be able to pull such tricks anymore."
Bai Ling nodded in agreement, raised his head and looked at Mrs. Bai Liu and asked, "Mom, do you know who has a dog? Our place is remote, and I thought it would be safer to have two dogs to guard the house.
"
"Wait until your father comes back and ask him. If you want to raise a dog, then raise one that is powerful." Bai Liu replied.
The third house's mood was not affected by the creditor's visit. After all, if anyone really didn't have enough money to spare, they would take the initiative to return the money, and it would not be a problem to lend some to the other party. They had to remember this favor.
Over at the old house, Mrs. Bai didn't know that the banknotes she had hidden had actually been taken care of by Bai Ershu for a long time, and all of them were taken away.
But Mrs. Bai stewed an old hen, and Mrs. Bai made a scene.
In the end, Bai Ershu said something coldly, and then Old Mrs. Bai calmed down for two days.
"If mother doesn't let Mrs. Qi cook anymore, I will ask her to kill the two remaining chickens at home, and don't even want the kitchen door." Bai Ershu leaned against the door and said grimly: "Medicine
Mom, I'd better give the money to the Qi family now, otherwise I'll go to my eldest brother and let everyone know that he, Bai Dashu, forced his own brother to sell another brother's daughter for the sake of business."
After Bai Ershu finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house. The angry old man Bai scolded: "You are a piece of shit that will be stabbed a thousand times. I'm going to separate you, so get out of here!"
Bai Ershu was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Bai, while Mrs. Bai Qishi was secretly happy.
"I'm going to find the clan right away. Let's split up the family immediately. Don't even think about taking away a big boy from me. You're so capable, go find some errands yourself! Qi, what are you doing here?
