Chapter 3 The villain comes to the door
Here Liu Ximing took his two younger brothers to Xinshou Village to explore the way and open a map, but the situation at home was completely different.
Mrs. Liu Chen heard her three sons laughing and walking out, and quickly added more firewood to the stove. She thought to herself, "These little guys are probably going to come back soon, so we have to cook the food quickly before they come back."
good."
Before the water in the pot boiled, Mrs. Liu Chen walked to the side room, opened the grain storage cabinet in the corner of the room, looked at the food that was about to bottom out, and sighed, a trace of sadness lingering in her heart.
I frowned and thought for a while, then took out three eggs from the cabinet. After a moment of hesitation, I put the two eggs back, and after thinking about it, I took the eggs out again.
"The third and fourth children are also suffering these days, let's give each of them a supplement," Mrs. Liu Chen said to herself.
Just as she put the eggs into the small pot next to the stove and boiled them, Mrs. Liu Chen heard a loud voice suddenly yelling in the yard: "Where are the people? From the Liu family, come out quickly, Mr. Zhang is here!"
Mrs. Liu Chen was shocked, at this point, what are Zhang Yucheng and the others doing here?
I straightened my clothes and walked out quickly.
I saw two men entering the courtyard at some point. The first one was a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was wearing a blue muslin cross-collar gown and a net scarf wrapped around his head. He was thinking about the room with a look of impatience on his face. The second one was behind him.
He was fat-headed and big-eared, wearing a round-necked agarwood silk robe and a six-in-one hat, and his expression was full of arrogance.
"Rare visitor, rare visitor. It's rare for Mr. Zhang to come to this humble house. It's inconvenient for my sons to be away from home, so I won't invite them to sit in the room." Mrs. Liu Chen said to the person behind her with a strong smile.
"Hey hey hey, if nothing happens, who is coming to this crappy place of yours?" He said with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked in and said, "Hey, I'm cooking. It just so happened that we finished talking about it in a few seconds.
Delaying you in cooking for your little brats."
"May I ask Mr. Zhang what your business is?" Mrs. Liu Chen ignored this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked person. She knew that the more you pay attention to such a villain, the more enthusiastic you will be.
Hey, this sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked man saw Mrs. Liu Chen ignoring him and raised his face to curse.
"Okay, Zhang Da, please step back." Zhang Yucheng waved to Zhang Da.
He turned around and said to Mrs. Liu Chen with a smile: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I have a lot of things at home recently and my money is a little tight. To the Liu family, you should pay back the money you borrowed from me, right?"
Mrs. Liu Chen was surprised: "Master Zhang, when we borrowed the money, we had agreed in black and white that the money would be for one year, but now we still have more than one month left!"
Zhang Yucheng's expression changed: "What's the difference between one month and two months? Anyway, I want it now!"
"Mr. Zhang, you can't be unreasonable. I really have no money now," Mrs. Liu Chen begged.
Hahaha, Zhang Da said gloomily from the side: "Mr. Zhang is the god in this family bay. If he says you have to pay it back today, then you have to pay it back today!"
Mrs. Liu Chen begged bitterly: "My late husband's mourning period is not over yet. For the sake of my orphans and widowed mother, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to extend your grace for a while. I really don't have any money now."
Zhang Yucheng regained his smile and said with a smile: "If you don't have money today, you will have money in a month? I think it is better to collect the money today, so as not to lose everything in a month."
Mrs. Liu Chen almost shed tears and could only keep begging.
"Hey, hey, you said your family has no money, but I can't tell. Your family still has five acres of paddy fields. Seeing that you are a woman with several half-grown children, I guess your land is not easy to cultivate, so why not
Give it to me to repay the debt. For the sake of the fellow villagers, I will give you three taels of silver per acre, which will just offset the debt. What do you think?" Zhang Yucheng said slowly.
Mrs. Liu Chen's face suddenly changed: "I only borrowed ten taels of silver at the beginning, with an interest of three cents. I should have paid back thirteen taels of silver in total. Where did the fifteen taels come from? Besides, my field is clearly Shangtian, and it is worth at least fifty taels."
, there is no reason to count three or two!"
Zhang Yucheng's face collapsed again, and he began to become impatient: "Profits are compounded, how do you calculate the accounts, do you know better than me? I am a fellow countryman, can I still cheat you? This is what I will say today.
It’s decided.”
As soon as Zhang Da heard this, he was ready to step forward and catch Liu Chen.
Liu Ximing's three brothers happened to see this situation when they came back.
"Stop!" Liu Ximing shouted and rushed towards Zhang Da. His two younger brothers shouted and pushed Zhang Da.
Zhang Da was caught off guard and was pushed and staggered. He turned around and saw three boys from the Liu family. He was so angry that he stood up and grabbed Liu Xixian and Liu Xian, threw them to the ground, and kicked them hard at the same time.
Although he has little strength, he still can't break free.
When Liu Ximing saw this situation, he realized that two strong men and his three brothers could not beat him. He ran to the kitchen next to him, grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed out, yelling: "Fuck you, old dog, you really think Liu
Is there no man left in the family?"
Just after he finished shouting, Liu Ximing took a knife and slashed at Zhang Da and Zhang Yucheng. Zhang Da was so frightened that he quickly let go of Liu Xixian and Liu Xian and fell back. Zhang Yucheng was also frightened and kept retreating.
Seeing that his two younger brothers were fine, Liu Ximing did not dare to chase him. He pulled them behind him and blocked them in front of his mother. He said fiercely to Zhang Yucheng: "If you have something to say, who dares to touch it? Don't blame me."
The knife in my hand doesn’t recognize anyone!”
Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Da were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they could not recover for a while.
There is no way, Liu Ximing's performance is really too shocking. Who in this family has seen a twelve-year-old child with such ability, and the two of them are used to running rampant in the village, and have long been accustomed to the submissiveness of poor people.
I was panicked when I first encountered this.
Mrs. Liu Chen was both surprised and happy. She was so surprised that the Zhang family actually wanted to take action directly without any loss of face. She was happy that although her husband was gone, she still had several sons to rely on. Seeing her second son's whole body
Standing in front of her heroically, Liu Chen could not help but shed the tears that she had held back before.
"Have you seen it, ancestors of the Liu family? There is a successor to the Liu family!"
Zhang Yucheng ran a few steps back and came out. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Ximing did not continue to chase him. Hearing what Liu Ximing said, Zhang Yucheng said angrily: "Little bastards, it is only right to pay back debts."
, I’ll take it for granted!”
Liu Ximing's eyes narrowed, he glared at Zhang Yucheng, and said angrily: "Who the hell are you calling a bastard?"
Zhang Yucheng was so frightened by the glare that he shrank his neck. Then he remembered that Liu Ximing was only a teenager. He suppressed his fear, pretended to be calm and twisted his neck, and muttered: "I'm still afraid of you."
It's a little...baby, but I'll wait until I get all the people together to see who's afraid of whom!"
Liu Ximing listened to Zhang Yucheng muttering there, vaguely heard the second half of the sentence, and was shocked.
Indeed, his family is the only one in this family bay. If there is a conflict, my family will probably suffer the consequences. If nothing else, the two adults in front of me can kill several of my brothers even if they really risk their lives.
One fell down.
Liu Ximing was thinking about how to end today's occasion. Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Yucheng didn't know how to deal with it in the future, so the scene became quiet for a while.
At this moment, I saw Aunt Wu rushing over with a strong man. She kept shouting from a distance: "What's going on? Dear fellow villagers in my hometown, please bow your head and see us. Don't hurt your harmony."
When the two of them came closer, Aunt Wu asked the strong man to pull Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Yucheng away. On the other hand, she quietly blocked the Liu family members behind her and kept urging: "Oh, there's something wrong."
Speak well, speak well if you have something to say!"
Liu Ximing and Liu Chen felt warm in their hearts, knowing that Aunt Wu was helping them.
Liu Ximing saw that Aunt Wu interrupted, and the atmosphere relaxed. He just walked down the slope, put away the kitchen knife, looked around at the people and said slowly: "I didn't want to risk my life, but Mr. Zhang went too far.
! Little did he know that when the strong man was angry, blood would be splashed five steps forward!"
Zhang Yucheng felt relieved when he heard Liu Ximing calling him Mr. Zhang, and said coquettishly: "This is all Zhang Da's lack of etiquette!"
Zhang Da......
"But there still needs to be an explanation for what happened today. Erwazi, can you be the master of the matter?"
Liu Ximing then turned to his mother and asked about the details. When he heard that Zhang Yucheng wanted to give him the land at a low price, he couldn't help but shook the kitchen knife in his hand. He suppressed his anger and turned to Zhang Yucheng.
Yucheng said: "Of course it is natural to pay back debts, but here is the evidence in black and white. My family will naturally pay back the money on time in one month."
Zhang Yucheng thought about it after a while. Seeing Liu Ximing, he didn't dare to draw his sword. Knowing that his family had the final say in Zhangjiawan, he sneered and said: "It's not impossible to pay it back after a month, but if your family
If you can't repay the debt, then you have to use your land to pay off the debt!"
Liu Ximing wanted to kill this idiot. He argued with Zhang Yucheng for a few more words. Seeing that the old dog refused to let go, he knew that if he didn't agree, he would be in trouble today. He thought for a while
, I am a dignified time traveler, I don’t believe that he can’t even get over this hurdle, and I promise him that we will make long-term plans later.
"Okay, as you said, if I still can't pay the debt in one month, I will use my farmland to pay off the debt!"
Aunt Wu was nearby and winked wildly at Liu Ximing.
Mrs. Liu Chen was also shocked and hurriedly pulled Liu Ximing's sleeve, but saw her son turning his head and nodding to her firmly with eyes full of determination. He didn't know why his hand loosened his grip.
Zhang Yucheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "You said this yourself. If you don't pay the money by then, don't even think about denying it, hahaha!"
But Liu Ximing said again: "I haven't finished speaking yet. A gentleman's words are hard to follow, but if you dare to come again in this month, don't blame the knife in my hand for being rude!"
Zhang Yucheng got the promise, and it was too late to be happy. He didn't care about his threatening words, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, don't worry, I am also a respectable person, every spit and nail! There is no reason to go back on one's words, then
So we said goodbye. Zhang Da went back home."
Zhang Da hurriedly followed. After walking a few steps, he asked Zhang Yucheng unwillingly: "Master, is this the end of the matter today?"
Zhang Yucheng looked at him with a look of incompetence and said: "How else can you calculate it this way? Can you block the knife for me? Call more people next time! Besides, isn't it just for his family's land that I'm here today?
