He Yunxi's attention was immediately diverted and he asked: "Are you familiar with these bandits? How many people are there? Where is their base? If we face them, do we have any chance of winning?"
Lu Yan looked at her serious face, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said: "Don't be nervous, they are just a group of insignificant bandits now. The drought has not come yet, and there are not so many displaced people. They have not yet absorbed
How many members are there? I know where their home base is, and I asked Song Jiang and the others to check the current situation and then deal with it further."
"Well, it's best to know yourself and your enemy." He Yunxi said, "But my original plan was to go to a workshop outside the county to make soy sauce and vinegar after seeing the situation of the pepper seedlings. Now it seems that I can't leave."
The people in Wangjia Village are ordinary farmers. They have no chance of winning against the vicious bandits.
They were now from Wangjia Village, and they couldn't ignore anything happening in Wangjia Village. Besides, she liked most of the villagers here, and she didn't want anyone to die at the hands of bandits.
Lu Yan gave instructions to Song Jiang and Song He, and the two of them drove the carriage to Huangtao Village.
He Yunxi first went to see their land. There are now pepper seedlings planted in the land. Some of them were just planted in the past two days. Some of them looked scratchy, but they were not dead. Others were planted.
The ones that have been around for a long time are now alive.
All the pepper seedlings planted on the 110 acres of land look quite spectacular.
Fortunately, there are more seeds in each pepper, and all the seeds from last year's peppers were left, otherwise it would not be enough.
After this year's batch of peppers is harvested, Yanjiang County will have enough to grow peppers.
"These peppers have been planted. It seems that my father-in-law and the others have found a lot of people." Lu Yan said, "They are all here already. Let's go and see my father-in-law and the others?"
He Yunxi originally planned this, but when she heard these words from Lu Yan, she just felt very happy.
"Go now, it's just in time to have lunch." She said, "Let's go there early, otherwise the food won't be cooked for us."
"good."
Lu Yan was driving his carriage towards Lijia Village. When he passed the entrance of Huangtao Village, he was blocked by someone.
These people did not block them intentionally, but they were all standing on the road watching the fun, blocking the road.
"Madam, this is Huang Tao's family." Lu Yan said, "There is a lot of commotion inside. Should we stay and watch the excitement?"
"The road ahead is blocked, and we can't get through. Why don't we just wait here for a while." He Yunxi heard the wails, screams, and screams coming from the yard in front, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
It seemed that she was very lucky. When she came back, she saw Huang Tao being called for debt.
Yes, it has been more than a month since I borrowed the money, and it is time to pay it back.
In the yard, Wang Hong sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at her crying mother-in-law, Huang Tao who was beaten until she was lying on the ground, and a group of fierce people staring at her fiercely, feeling fear, hatred and regret in her heart.
The twelve taels of silver that Huang Tao gave him turned out to be usury money. It has only been a month and a half and he still has to pay back fifteen taels of silver!
The Huang family is so poor, what will she do in the future?
And Wang Juhua actually asked her to take out the dowry and return the fifteen taels!
How is this possible?
That's her money!
Wang Juhua was also beaten several times and cried until tears and snot flew all over her face.
Fifteen taels! How can I still have fifteen taels of silver at home now?
She really didn't expect that Huang Tao would come to borrow usury money if she guaranteed that the Huang family would get ten taels of silver for marrying Wang Hong.
If they had known that Wang Hong's final dowry would only be twenty taels, the Huang family would not be able to borrow usury even if they did not marry Wang Hong!
Wait, twenty taels?
Wang Juhua thought of Wang Hong's dowry and suddenly thought of a good idea. She wiped her tears and said, "Hong, your dowry contains twenty taels of silver, doesn't it? You take it out first and pay back the money."
Let’s talk about it, okay?”
"What? You want me to get money?" Wang Hong shouted, "How is this possible?"
"We're not letting you take it, we're borrowing it. We'll borrow your dowry money first, and then we'll return it to you when we have more money later," Wang Juhua said.
"You didn't have money to hire someone, so you borrowed usury money. Now, you want me to repay the original usury money. Are you asking me to use my own money to marry myself?" Wang Hong shouted.
"Pfft -" He Yunxi burst into laughter outside and echoed: "She said this very vividly."
Regardless of what Wang Juhua says now, she will pay it back later when she has money. Judging from what Li Yao said before, it is still impossible to pay it back.
Huang Tao borrowed the usury money to be employed, and then Wang Hong took the ten taels of usury and the ten taels of silver subsidized by her father to marry her. As a result, not only did the ten taels of silver have to be paid back, but she also had to pay another five
Interest on two denarii.
Therefore, the Huang family did not produce anything in the end, and even married a daughter-in-law. But Wang Hong did not get a penny, and ended up paying back.
Gee, the Huang family made a really good plan.
But, will Wang Hong come out?
It depends on whether Huang Tao can say it.
Facts have proven that there are not many people who can read who can’t speak.
"Ahong, can you pay back the usury money first? When I have money, I will pay it back to you!" Huang Tao said.
"Why? You borrowed this money, not me." Wang Hong still had a much better attitude towards Huang Tao.
"Ahong, I really didn't know the interest rate was so high before I borrowed these usury money. It's only been a month and the interest has reached five taels of silver. If I don't pay it back, it will not only be fifteen taels of silver later, but we will pay even more in the future.
I can't afford to pay it back. You have seen how cruel these people are. If we don't pay back the money now, they will definitely cut off my hands and feet, and they may even kill me. You can't bear the thought that our child will be born without a father.
