Chapter 150 Lightning Strikes Jujube Trees and Takin
"Didn't we agree to pay it back next year?" Li Yulian said anxiously, "Brother Zhang, you are a rich man in our town, you can't go back on your word, right?"
"Hmph!" Zhang Butcher snorted coldly, "That was before, but life is hard for everyone now. I only have three taels of silver in total. Please pay me back soon."
"Three taels?"
"I only borrowed one tael of silver?"
"Why are there only three or two?"
"Wang Hu, can you guys work together to deceive me?"
Li Yulian was so anxious that she started to argue with the two of them while holding her waist.
"Little lady."
"What did you say?"
"If I borrow someone's money, there will be interest, right?"
"Look at the IOU."
"Borrow three taels of silver for one month..."
"If you don't repay it when it's due, you'll pay the debt with your own body."
With that said, Butcher Zhang took out an IOU.
Written clearly in black and white.
"you..."
"You are going too far!"
"You know I'm illiterate, so I'm going to the county government to sue you."
Li Yulian was so angry that her chest was shaking, she pointed at the two of them and yelled angrily.
"tell?"
"You are suing me because you owe a debt and pay back the money."
"Hahaha..."
Butcher Zhang licked the corner of his mouth and continued, "But it's not impossible to pay for the money. Little lady, you can pay with your flesh..."
"Cousin, look, isn't this enough?" Wang Hu said with a playful smile, "You don't have a bridal chamber, so you can give birth to Butcher Zhang..."
"Why are you talking so much?"
"Today, I will take the little lady away and the account will be wiped off."
Zhang Ji looked up and down at the tall Li Yulian with unscrupulous eyes and said impatiently.
"Okay~"
"cousin."
"Let's go and live a good life with Butcher Zhang."
With that said, Wang Hu, who was a bitch, was about to step forward and pull Li Yulian.
"Wang Hu, go away..."
Li Yulian was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Butcher Zhang's reputation is notoriously bad.
I heard that he also likes to hit women after drinking.
But there was no one to lend money at first, and Wang Hu was the one who got in touch with me before I was willing to lend him money.
If she fell into the hands of Butcher Zhang, it would be even worse than killing her.
The next moment, her eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Get out!!"
Zhou Peirong became angry and stepped forward and slapped Wang Hu in the face.
"How dare you fucking hit me?"
Wang Hu was shocked, covered his face and looked at Zhou Peirong, who was also shocked.
"Wang Hu."
"Butcher Zhang."
"It's only three taels of silver. I, Zhou Peirong, will pay for it!"
"Get out of here now!"
Zhou Peirong glared at the two of them and spoke forcefully.
Hearing the sound, everyone was stunned.
"Clam?"
"What did you say?"
"your turn?"
"How rich are you, a loser who failed to pass the scholar exam in three years?"
Wang Hu looked at Zhou Peirong with his nostrils turned upward, as if he had heard a big joke.
It was as if he would rather believe that the sun would rise in the west tomorrow than believe that Zhou Peirong could afford three taels of silver.
"uncle."
"What nonsense are you talking about...?"
Li Yulian's nose felt sore and she quickly persuaded her.
It was as if she met this uncle for the first time today.
The thin figure is full of security.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"roll!"
Zhou Peirong patted Li Yulian on the shoulder and issued the eviction order again.
"well...."
"good."
"Zhou Peirong, you have the guts."
"I'll give you three days!"
"I, Zhang, will come to ask for someone in three days. If you can get some money, it will be easier."
"If you can't get it out, hum..."
After saying that, Butcher Zhang walked away.
Wang Hu also had a look of resentment in his eyes. He glanced at Zhou Peirong and then left.
At the door, the neighbors were watching.
But no one came forward to help.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
"If it doesn't work out, I can just go to his house and work as a long-term worker for three years?"
As soon as Butcher Zhang left, Li Yulian stamped her feet anxiously.
Three taels of silver?
I only earn two or three cents when I go out to do odd jobs for a day.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a solution." Zhou Peirong grinned, "Didn't you pick up a few bags of bad beans that no one wanted?"
"Yes, but these bad beans are worthless..."
"Uncle, what are you going to do?"
Li Yulian's big eyes flickered and she said curiously.
Zhou Peirong came forward just now, which made her subconsciously feel more dependent on Zhou Peirong.
"Beans can be used to make tofu, tofu curd, etc..."
"What is tofu?"
“(⊙o⊙)…”
Zhou Peirong was stunned at first, then ecstatic.
In this era, because productivity is backward, there is no such thing as tofu?
Not to mention the tofu curd and other things that he loved to eat in his previous life.
Isn't this the code of wealth?
"Sister-in-law, hurry up..."
"Soak those beans in water. We will make a fortune, make a fortune!!"
In excitement, Zhou Peirong hugged Li Yulian.
As long as you make tofu, do you need to worry about making money?
Making tofu is not technically difficult for him.
"Uncle, are you really sure?"
Li Yulian's face turned red again, and she left Zhou Peirong's arms like a frightened rabbit.
How to make money from beans that no one wants?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
"Our good life starts with a piece of tofu."
.........
Just do it.
Zhou Peirong and his sister-in-law got busy.
There is no technical difficulty in boiling soy milk and preparing brine.
When it got dark, the first portion of tofu was made.
Seeing the steaming tofu in front of her, which was like gelatin, Li Yulian was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"Sister-in-law, come and try it..."
"Wow, isn't this delicious?"
"Uncle, how did you know?"
"Hey, I wandered around the underworld and a god told me."
"You are the only one who is poor, is it true or not?"
"It's absolutely true. If there are lies, God will strike..."
"No." Li Yulian suddenly put her jade finger on Zhou Peirong's lips, "Don't talk nonsense, Yulian believes in uncle."
Zhou Peirong said "hmm" and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, let's work harder and make some more beancurd. By the way, do you still have the pickles you made?"
"Yes, I have."
"Well, everything will come in handy."
"Sister-in-law, let's eat tofu for dinner tonight. Men always like to eat tofu."
"Why?"
"Because tofu is white and soft..."
Li Yulian (silent) (blushing).
She actually understood what Zhou Peirong wanted to express.
It's getting late.
Endless darkness shrouded the earth, and the uncle and sister-in-law were busy all day long.
Li Yulian is still very capable.
I didn't even feel tired after doing this.
On the contrary, Zhou Peirong was out of breath, obviously lacking exercise on weekdays.
Now Zhou Peirong just wants to have a good sleep.
Looking at the only kang in the house.
Only then did Zhou Peirong think of it.
I used to sleep on the kang alone.
And his sister-in-law was in the woodshed.
This guy is so inhuman.
What a beast?
Good brother, you can go in peace, I will take care of your sister-in-law in the future...
"Uncle, the mattress has been made for you. You can read a book and go to bed early."
Li Yulian neatly packed the kang and prepared to go to the woodshed to sleep on the wooden bed.
I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the market to do business.
In the afternoon, Zhou Peirong borrowed the wooden cart from Lao Li's house next door, otherwise it would be a problem how he would take the tofu to the market tomorrow morning.
"that..."
"Sister-in-law, please wait."
"Hmm? What else can I do, uncle?"
"The weather is very cold, and there is a hot pit at home. How about..." Zhou Peirong said sheepishly, "Let's squeeze in and sleep together?"
