Nomo Village is still so poor compared to before he was arrested. Three years later, there has been no change at all.
The entire village was under Li Erdan's eyes, and Li Erdan quickly found his thatched house.
"Hmm! Why are there so many people in my house?" Looking down, Li Erdan found that there were many people surrounding the courtyard of his house, and it looked like it was very lively.
"Is nothing going to happen to my parents?" Li Erdan thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he ran frantically down the hill towards his home.
"Li Baoku, let me tell you, since ancient times, people have killed to pay for their lives and debts to pay for money. Your family has owed me more than 10,000 yuan. Why do you still want to default on the debt? Folks, you guys give me an opinion. Li Baoku
If you owe me so much money, what's wrong with me using their old cow to pay off the debt?"
The one holding an old cow and talking loudly was a little fat old man with a red face.
The little old man’s name is Xie Laoji. He is one of the richest people in the village. Xie Laoji is a skilled carpenter. His family’s craftsmanship is passed down from his family. He is considered a celebrity in the nearby villages. As long as anyone has a carpenter job, he is willing to do it.
Find Mr. Xie.
Under this situation, Mr. Xie can be regarded as one of the richest people in the entire village.
At this time, in front of Xie Laojie, there was also an old farmer who looked honest and honest. The old farmer's face was a little sallow, and he was holding the reins in Xie Laojie's hands with both hands, and he kept coughing and panting.
"Ahem, Xie Laoji, I know that our family owes you money. I, Li Baoku, have lived in the village for so many years. You ask the folks in the village, I, Li Baoku, am a deadbeat? Xie Laoji, you are also a farmer.
, you should also know that this season, sowing is about to begin. You see, our old couple’s health is getting worse day by day. We all rely on this big ox to provide us with strength. So, if you move the big ox, you
How can we, an old couple, survive?"
"Ahem!" Li Baoku continued to cough violently.
There were no villagers around at this moment, and when they saw Li Baoku's appearance, they all shook their heads and sighed.
"The Li family used to have a good life, but it was ruined by a prodigal son."
"If you ask me, Li Baoku and his wife should not have taken in that disaster star in the first place. I said back then that picking up a big fat boy for no reason was definitely a disaster rather than a blessing. What happens now? My words have come true.
Well. That kid Li Erdan is a disaster star. Look at what he did to the Li family. At first, Li Baoku and his wife didn’t believe what they said, thinking that a son had fallen from the sky. What happens now? My words have come true, right?
Just because I was full and exhausted, I picked up such a disaster star, and now my family has been ruined."
The speaker was a fat woman named Zhao Xiu'e. She was a widow in the village and was famous for her long tongue.
"Zhao Xiu'e, stop talking nonsense here. Li Erdan is my biological son, Yang Cuihua. Whoever dares to speak ill of my son will have his mouth torn to pieces." From the thatched hut, a woman on crutches walked.
Walked out with difficulty.
"Cuihua, why did you run out? You are not in good health. Go inside and have a good rest." Li Baoku supported the woman who came out of the hut with a concerned look on his face.
"Hey, you are about to starve to death, and you still learn to protect the calf. What's the use of protecting the calf? It's not something that fell out of your belly. You, the old Li family, should deal with Mr. Xie first."
Zhao Xiu'e laughed and said with some gloating.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Baoku and his wife, but no one noticed that at the very back of the crowd, stood a thin young man with tears on his face. At this moment, this young man's eyes were staring at the stumbling Yang Cuihua.
Li Baoku, whose face was sallow, burst into tears, and strings of teardrops rolled down his face.
Father, mother, my son is back. Don’t worry, my son will never cause you any wrongs. He will definitely help you live a good life.
"Lao Xie, we have lived in the same village for so many years, and you know the situation of our family. It can be said that this big ox is the life of our couple. You said you took the big ox away.
We, the old couple, were forced to death. Is this big scalper enough to repay your debt? Please give us a few months of grace. When the autumn harvest comes and the food is harvested, we, the old couple, will definitely repay the debt we owe you." Yang Cuihua gasped,
He said with a pleading look.
"Hmph! Come on, how much grain can you harvest with the little land you have? How many years, three years, or five years should I wait for you to repay the money I owe you?" Mr. Xie said.
After saying this with disdain, Li Baoku and Yu Cuihua suddenly fell silent.
What Xie Laoji said is absolutely true. The family only has five acres of fertile farmland. The grain produced in a year, excluding the old couple's rations, can only be sold for two to three thousand yuan, and the family owes Xie Laoji the money.
It's more than 10,000 yuan, and it won't be repaid in five or six years.
Looking at the expressions of Li Baoku and his wife, Mr. Xie had a sneer on his face.
"Li Baoku, Yang Cuihua, today I tell you two that the money you owe me must be paid back to me this year. If you don't pay me back, I will not only move your cow, but also the few acres of land you own will be mine."
After a few years of planting, it will be considered as repayment of my debt." Mr. Xie said with a sneer.
"Xie Laoji, are you trying to force us to death? We will give you our land to plant, and you call us and Northwest Feng? Cough cough!" Li Baoku was so excited that he trembled all over and coughed twice violently.
.
"Li Baoku, you can't say that. Murder to pay for life and debt to pay for money. This is a matter of course. Don't say that I am forcing you. Why don't you pay back the money? Why don't you give me this old scalper and your land?"
I have been planting for several years." Xie Laoji said with a sneer again.
"Xie Laoji, don't you want to force Li Baoku and his wife to death? They are all from the village, so don't go too far."
"That's right. We are all from the same village. We meet each other when we look down. Don't push yourself too hard, Mr. Xie. Everyone in the village knows how Li Baoku and his wife are. They are not deadbeats. You
Just be lenient. If the land is gone, how can you expect this old couple to survive?"
The surrounding villagers couldn't stand it any longer, and they all spoke for Li Baoku and his wife.
"Bah! You really don't mind your back hurting when you stand and talk. It's not your money that's owed to you. Your upper lips touch your lower lips, so you talk easily. You pity Li Baoku and his wife, so you can repay his debt for him." Xie Laozhi.
After saying this with a cold snort, the surrounding villagers fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that no one was talking, Xie Laoji turned his eyes again to Li Baoku and his wife, who looked desperate.
"Li Baoku, Yang Cuihua, it's not that I don't give you two a chance. If I push you two too hard, the villagers will say that I, Mr. Xie, are unkind. So, let me give you two an idea. I can
I don’t want the money your family owes.
As long as you, the old couple, call your daughter Xuewei back and ask her to marry our Xie Bao, then our two families will be one family. You, the old couple, will become our in-laws and in-laws, so why do you need to ask for money?
." Mr. Xie said with a happy face.
"Fart, Xie Laoji, your fucking fart is so stinky. My daughter is the only college student in the village in recent years. If you ask my precious daughter to marry your son, you won't ask your son to urinate in order to show his virtue.
, the toad still wants to eat swan meat." Li Baoku said, his whole body shaking with anger.
Xie Laojie has a son named Xie Bao, who is almost the same age as Li Baoku's daughter Li Xuewei.
Li Xuewei is a well-known beauty in the ten miles and eight villages, and she is also the first college student in the village. Xie Laojie's family has been coveting Li Xuewei for a long time. As early as when Li Xuewei had not graduated from high school, they came to Li Baoku to ask for her help.
Get married.
Before Li Erdan's accident, the Li family's life was pretty good. Xie Laoshuo's family felt there was no chance. Since Li Erdan's accident, others knew about the Li family's situation and did not dare to borrow money from Li Baoku and his wife.
, only Xie Laoji dared to borrow it, and now the fox’s tail is finally exposed.
"Xie Laoji, you are such a heartless person. Even if we both starve to death, you, the Xie family, can't even think about trying to take advantage of our precious daughter. You, the Xie family, have evil intentions and are not worthy of my daughter at all. You are not
Do you want to force our old couple to death? You move away, old scalper, and the land will be planted by you. The foreign debt our Li family owes you will be cleared from today on. Get out of here now." Yang Cuihua was shaking with anger.
swore angrily.
Seeing the angry Li Baoku and his wife, Xie Laojie didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Li Baoku, Yang Cuihua, you two have to think carefully. Without these acres of land, you two will definitely starve to death. Your precious daughter is indeed good, but it is not a loss to marry my Xie Bao.
What's wrong with my Xie Bao? Although she's not as well-educated as your daughter, she has inherited my craftsmanship from Mr.
I'm asking around, if the girl who wants to marry my Xie Bao can form a company, if you girl joins my Xie Bao, you will definitely be popular and drink hot food, and you two will be able to borrow money from it."
Mr. Xie was scratching his head, and just as he was talking, he suddenly felt that his shoulder was clamped by pliers, and he felt very painful.
"Ouch! It hurts me so much. What bastard is that? Let me go now." Mr. Xie shouted with a grin on his face.
