As soon as the donkey cart stopped, the gatekeeper at the gambling stall saw Yan Laoer.
Before he could recover, seven or eight people rushed out of the room.
People surrounded the donkey cart.
"Hey! Isn't this Yan Er? You've all got into the donkey cart and you're here to pay back the money?" After saying that, he approached the donkey and wanted to stroke it. The donkey twitched its ears and clucked its teeth, and the leader took back his hand in a nonchalant manner.
.
If you're afraid of being chewed, forget it.
Finished!
Yan Laoer's scalp exploded. He turned around in slow motion in horror and looked at his eldest brother, Yan Huaiwen, who was able to sit up on his own.
"What more money?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan Laoer wanted to cry but had no tears. He was exposed too early and he was not mentally prepared at all!
They also hope that with the help of the platform, they can settle their gambling debt tonight.
"Big...brother...I didn't...I'm not..." Yan Laoer started sweating and his face turned red.
Woohoo! You can’t argue with me!
He said it wasn't him, he said he didn't, who would believe it? Who!
What an injustice!
Although it’s not June yet, heaven, let’s get some snow!!!
"Oh, look at the look in my eyes, isn't this a scholar? Look at it, I'm neglecting you. If you want to show your appreciation, can you come in and have a cup of tea?" The man in the lead was dressed in a neat short game. He looked burly and powerful, and spoke very smoothly.
.
"No, tell me what happened to the money."
"Your second brother used to play in our gambling stall. He had bad luck and didn't have much. He owes a full twenty taels of silver."
"Is this happening?"
"Look, how dare we lie to you? Here is the IOU written by your second brother."
What else could Yan Laoer say? The man took out the IOU with his signature and handed it to his brother in a pretentious manner.
His brother took it and read it carefully from top to bottom. His brother glanced at him with an expressionless face and looked away...
Lao Yan must be sad and disappointed.
He is so good to his brother.
Everything rushed together, making things worse.
Yan Laoer wiped his face hard, broke the jar and said:
"Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have gambled!
The money is owed to me, and I will find a way to pay it back on my own.
Didn't you allow me three days? It's not even yet. If you come to me on the day we agreed, I, Yan Laoer, will pay you back in full."
The man sneered and ignored him, only looking at Yan Xiucai sitting on the donkey cart.
Yan Huaiwen couldn't remember how he looked when faced with this sudden gambling debt. Ahem, maybe it wasn't because he didn't remember, but because he didn't want to act the way he was.
At that time, he was dumbfounded and looked as if he had seen a ghost.
The bitterness towards the second brother for being ignorant, the hatred towards him for begging him and even forcing him to sell his land to pay off his debts.
Yes, the second brother said the same thing at that time, Brother, I was wrong, please help me, if you don’t pay me, Li and Erya will be dragged into paying off the debt... Brother, I know I was wrong, from now on
I don’t dare to gamble anymore... Brother, believe me, trust me this time, brother...
In the memory, there are still the cries of Da Ya, the cries of younger siblings, and Er Ya...
I didn't expect that girl to cry even more loudly than her eldest sister. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth wide. For such a small person, her cries were so loud and loud!
His head was buzzing and he almost cried because of her.
Instead of the whole family being frightened, it is better to find out about the matter in advance and solve it in the town.
"The family property is very small, only ten acres of ancestral property..." Yan Huaiwen closed his eyes and sighed, "Help me down."
Yan Laoer angrily knocked aside the attentive debt collector, glanced at Lao Yan's expression, and carefully helped him out of the car.
Yan Huaiwen slowly pushed him away, looked up at the signboard of Shunyi Pawnshop, and walked slowly in.
Satisfactory, satisfactory.
Listening to the name, it is clear that the gambling shop and the pawnshop are the same.
Yan Laoer looked sad, hesitated for a while, and then followed in.
Just then I heard his brother say: "Your family is not the only one with the pawnshop in town. The money my second brother owes can be offset by three acres of land according to the market price."
"Yan Xiucai, this is a layman's talk. The price of top-quality fields is seven taels per acre. It is a good year, and the production is expected to decrease this summer. If God does not show mercy and does not reward even a drop of rain, this field will suffer losses.
Wait, it’s calculated as medium or even low. Moreover, this small place is a pawn shop. There are rules in the pawn shop. No matter what the thing is pawned, it must be discounted and calculated separately. Fortunately, it is not late or in arrears, and it is convenient to pay in cash.
no."
Before the second shopkeeper of the pawn shop could reply, the top shopkeeper walked out quickly from behind and took over the conversation.
Yan Xiucai hit the nail on the head without knowing whether it was intentional or not.
Yes, there are more than just Shunyi pawnshops in this town. It would be a bad thing if people left and changed places to sell their property because of them.
You must know that Yan Xiucai is not the only place they keep an eye on.
"It is difficult to sell other things, but I have never heard that land is not easy to sell. It has a price but no market. If I go out and want to sell the land, I can sell it today. What the big shopkeeper said is to scare others.
, don’t try to trick me." Yan Huaiwen said calmly.
"What you said is true, but you are only willing to cede three acres of land. If you sell land piecemeal like this, big families are afraid that they won't be willing to put in the effort. To sell land in the countryside, you first ask relatives and friends, and secondly ask neighbors. I'm afraid you also know that in a short time
If you can't find a suitable person to take over, pawn shops are the most convenient. We don't inspect the land or measure the land. As long as you have the land deed document, you can go to the Yamen to apply for the subdivision right away. If you don't have time to go, you only need to write it in hand.
Zhang, I'll go by myself without Yan Xiucai's presence." The shopkeeper was smiling and polite, so it was expected that Yan Xiucai would not want to go to the Yamen in person.
After all, he is a man of great fame, so it is not honorable to sell his ancestral property.
"What's the price?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Five liang and one acre." The big shopkeeper replied immediately.
Today there is someone else, not Yan Xiucai, but someone else. He has a gambling debt from the other side. It is absolutely impossible to pay this price to him. He will only pay four taels at most.
But Yan Laoer still owed less, only twenty taels, which was not enough!
Yan Laoer was anxious: "Three acres of land is not enough, how about four acres?"
This leaves Huo Huo with four acres of land and nearly half of his family property.
It's not unfair for Lao Yan to divide his family, it should be!
Yan Huaiwen shook his head, "Rather than being priced down, I might as well sell these ten acres of land together, remove the gambling debt owed by my second brother, and buy another property if there is any leftover."
"Ah? Sell them all?" Yan Laoer was shocked. Can Lao Yan think so?
But if you think about it carefully, letting go of your feelings about your ancestral property and so on, in terms of money alone, this is indeed the way to lose the least.
Ten acres of land, seventy taels, minus twenty taels for debt repayment.
I still have fifty taels in hand.
I'm looking around to buy a piece of land. Don't buy a very good one, but buy an average one. Maybe I can buy another ten acres.
Lao Yan's economic accounts are as broad as they are broad!
its not right!
Damn it!
Didn’t Lao Yan plan to leave? Prepare to flee!!!
We all have goals. Where are we going to Guanzhou...
