Chapter 62 The usury storm

 In the battle for water, Xiahe Village won an unprecedented victory, winning ten flags. Each flag was a five-day water period, and ten flags were a fifty-day water period. Next year's harvest was guaranteed.

The battle for water was a big win, and the men, women, and children in Xiahe Village were in a state of excitement. They were all talking excitedly until they returned home after the gathering, and what happened to the children of so-and-so Lao Zhu's family. Xiahe Village won, and the village elders and Li Zheng were very happy.

He went straight to the ancestral temple in the village to express his condolences to his ancestors.

When Lao Zhu's house was preparing to have dinner, Li Zheng from Xiahe Village led a few young people to carry a jar of old wine, a pig thigh, and a bag of rice into the gate of Lao Zhu's house.

"Uncle Zhu, you have raised two good grandchildren, especially your little pig. Today is very good. This is something I have discussed with the village elder, so please don't refuse." Li Zheng, a resident of Xiahe Village

The uncle, who is in his forties and is a well-rounded person, talks to his grandfather with his hands folded.

The battle for water was won, and the whole village celebrated together. Grandpa just declined and accepted, and then invited Li Zheng and the other boys to sit down to have tea and drinks. Li Zheng declined and said that there were other young people who wanted to leave, thank you.

Thanks to my grandfather's kindness, I quickly led a few young men to leave.

In the evening, Zhu's father made an exception and drank a few more glasses of wine, making him slightly tipsy.

The uncle of the Zhu family also came home from the ancestral hall, as if nothing happened, and as before, he looked as proud as a scholar.

Time passed slowly like this for more than a month. Zhu Pingan rode an old scalper to school. During the break, he came out to teach the two Lolita about "Shooting the Condor" and "Swordsman". Except that the Master talked about more and more things, the rest was basically

Nothing changes.

Oh, that’s not for nothing. Every time before telling stories to the big and small lolita, an additional activity is added, which is to watch the big and small lolita dance the bunny dance and sing the song of bang bang. Of course, eating is inevitable.

Regarding the useless ability of luck, Zhu Ping'an has done many experiments and roughly figured out part of it. Guangzong Yaozu, these four words are the key. You can roughly check luck once every ten days, and each time you can look at it for about three seconds.

Time is very useless.

In addition to these, Zhu Ping'an also used Chen's name to visit neighboring houses and told his aunt and daughter-in-law to give them raw materials for free, let them process them into bags, and then buy them from them.

The price was 10 cents. The aunt and daughter-in-law went to Chen’s house to confirm. Chen was also smart. Although she knew that Zhu Ping’an was using her name, she did the math and felt that she had made a profit, so she assured them that it was.

Really. In short, except for the eldest aunt, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt, all the baskets were given to these aunts and daughters-in-law. Excluding the handicraft expenses, Mrs. Chen went to the town to sell to the store, and made a total of 1

It was more than two taels of silver. It was a pity that when she went to the cloth shop to buy rags, they were bought away. This made Mrs. Chen, who had earned more than one tael of silver, very distressed.

Time passed slowly like this for more than a month. At dusk more than a month later, Zhu Ping'an rode the old scalper and wandered home as usual. The only difference was that this time many people gathered at Lao Zhu's house again.

When he saw Zhu Pingan coming back on the old scalper, he looked sympathetically.

What happened? Zhu Pingxin trembled.

When I opened the door, I saw that the house was in a mess. My mother, Chen, was lying on the ground crying like a woman. My elder brother, Zhu Pingchuan, also had red eyes and shed tears.

Father Zhu Shouyi was lying on a stretcher, trying to comfort the crying Mrs. Chen with a painful expression. One leg was intact, but the other leg was wrapped in a white cloth, and the white cloth was still soaked with blood...

Seeing this scene, Zhu Pingan was almost stunned.

In his mind, Father Zhu is a strong, bull-like man. Although he is not good at expressing himself, the love he gives is no less than that of Mr. Chen. Moreover, he is also the pillar of his small family, protecting his small family from wind and rain.

.It is precisely because of such a tough guy that he can be as carefree as a child when he travels back in time. Before going to town to sell rabbit skins in the morning, Zhu's father even asked Zhu Ping'an with a smile if he still wanted the rice paper from last time.

However, this iron-clad man is now lying on a stretcher with a painful expression.

Father Zhu is so honest and honest, and he is a righteous man. He has never made enemies with others. This time he is going to the town again. There will be no danger. It can only be someone who is doing evil things.

"Who, who hurt father?"

There seemed to be a fire burning in Zhu Ping'an's heart. Gulu suddenly climbed down from the ox's back and ran to Zhu's father with red eyes, tears sliding down his angry little fat face.

"Don't cry, I'm fine. The doctors have said that I haven't injured any muscles or bones. I just need to rest for a month." Zhu's father was lying on the stretcher, enduring the pain and trying to comfort everyone.

The rest of the Zhu family were also there. The women were all confused and didn't know what to do. The fourth uncle was also shocked. This time he went to the town with Zhu's father. But the uncle on the side had a little look in his eyes.

Dodge.

"My second brother and I went to the town and sold the rabbit skins for money. We didn't go far when we were surrounded by five or six people. Those people asked the second brother if his name was Zhu Shouyi. The second brother said yes and asked what they wanted to do.

What, they asked the second brother to pay back the money, saying that the second brother borrowed 10 taels of usury more than a month ago, and now the interest has become 15 taels. The second brother was confused at that time, and he had never borrowed the money.

.....”

"The man took out the IOU written by the second brother himself and said it was written in black and white and don't try to deny it. He robbed us of more than 100 yuan from selling rabbit skins, and then he started beating people without explanation. He said that this time it was just a light one, and he gave us his legs first.

Keep it, if you can't get the money out in three days, your legs will be really broken..."

When the fourth uncle talked about what happened in the town, he still looked frightened. Even he was kicked twice.

"Second brother, why did you borrow the money? What bad things did you do outside?" Grandfather was so angry that he almost fainted. He stood in front of Zhu's father with a thick stick and blew his beard, staring at him and asked loudly.

"Dad, how can my Shouyi know how to borrow money!" Mother Chen cried and protected Zhu's father.

"No, Dad, I don't have any money to use, so why should I borrow money? Besides, my son can't read a word, how can he write an IOU!"

Zhu's father looked aggrieved and bitter. He was beaten for no reason and was still suspected when he returned home. He felt extremely bitter.

"It's definitely not the money my father borrowed!" Zhu Ping'an said loudly with red eyes.

"But your father's name is on the IOU, and he also had his fingerprints printed on it." The fourth aunt on the side also felt a little unbelievable.

"My dad can't even write!" Zhu Pingan retorted angrily, and the little fat man's face turned red with anger.

Things seem to have reached a dead end. Although ordinary loan sharks are usury, these people will not just fabricate a person's name and ask for money. The county magistrate is not a fool. If you sue the magistrate, they will not get the best results. They are just watching.

The money will be released only if the person writes it down on the spot and puts their fingerprints on it, and will not forcefully deduct it from someone for no reason.

So where did this loan sharking come from?
