Chapter 146: Wang Laizi's true nature, and the frightened old lady Lin
Many people in Wangjia Village actually don't need to look at the IOU.
When Wang Miaomiao came back that day, they saw with their own eyes that Wang Laizi's father lent food to Wang Miaomiao.
After all, this kind of thing happened in this village.
So they didn't interfere.
But when the day of collecting the debt came, their team did not enter any county town. No matter how capable Wang Miaomiao was, he could not pay back the grain!
Old Mrs. Lin took the IOU from Wang Laizi's hand and looked at it carefully.
Then take it under the sun and let the sunlight shine on the paper.
After a long while, Mrs. Lin snorted coldly:
"Whoever wants to borrow your food should go to you."
"I can't read, so how can I tell whether your IOU is real or fake?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Lin's aura was overwhelming.
When Wang Laizi heard Old Lady Lin say that she was illiterate, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You can't read, why did you spend so long looking at the IOU?" Wang Laizi cursed angrily while holding the IOU:
"It's a delay."
"Okay then, Sister Miaomiao, just return the food."
"According to the rules, I'll lend you 100 kilograms of corn for one month. Now that your time is up, you have to return 150 kilograms."
"If there is no food, our family has also discussed ways to repay..."
Wang Laizi looked at Wang Miaomiao lying on the ox cart and talked incessantly.
But when it came to the repayment method, Wang Miaomiao, who had been silent for a long time, said:
"I borrowed a hundred kilograms of food, but I didn't eat it."
"When it comes to food, whoever eats it should be asked to pay it back."
"What do you say?"
Facing Wang Miaomiao's counter-question.
Wang Laizi pondered secretly and came to a conclusion: It makes sense!
And Wang Miaomiao is a woman after all, so she naturally has to ask her in-laws for the debt.
Thinking of this, Wang Laizi's rogue spirit suddenly came up, and he caught up with Old Lady Lin who was trying to escape, and grabbed her sleeve again:
"Hey, Mrs. Lin, don't go."
"You really have to pay this debt."
"I saw the village elder uncle give you the 100 kilograms of corn a while ago. These days, Sister Miaomiao has been eating at the village elder uncle's house and hasn't eaten the corn at all."
"So in the final analysis, it's you, the Lin family, who ate the rice, so you have to pay it back!"
"Let go!" Old Mrs. Lin was grabbed by Wang Laizi's clothes and suddenly burst into a roar.
But who is Wang Lai Zi?
I've eaten and seen it in town, and even had debt collectors chase me home.
Now that Old Lady Lin had given him the cold shoulder in public, he immediately became furious, his eyes revealing a fierce look:
"It is only natural to pay back debts!"
"Today, your Lin family ate the rice that my Wang family loaned out, so you must pay it back. One hundred and fifty kilograms of corn, not a kilogram less!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Lin collapsed to the ground, frightened by Wang Laizi's fierce look.
"You...don't come over." When Mrs. Lin saw Wang Laizi approaching her, she quickly pushed her body backward with her feet. At this time, her feet and waist no longer hurt.
But when she saw Wang Laizi's relentless pursuit, Mrs. Lin collapsed:
"You should go to whoever borrowed it, not to whoever ate it!"
"The loan period is at least one month. Wang Miaomiao clearly had this foreign debt before she married my Sanlang. How can it be counted against our family?"
"Isn't this... isn't this bullying us orphans and widows?"
Old Mrs. Lin’s words made Wang Laizi feel dizzy.
But before he could even turn his head, he heard Wang Miaomiao's voice again:
"Food is different from money. Whoever eats food should be considered to be borrowing it."
"I didn't eat it, which means I don't need it. If I don't need it myself, why should I borrow food?"
sophistry!
But it fooled Wang Laizi's brain.
His confused eyes became fierce again.
He grabbed Mrs. Lin by the collar and hit her in the face with his heavy breathing.
This made Old Lady Lin feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
Quickly beg for mercy:
"I understand. I'll go back and give you the rice when I get back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Lin was about to grab Wang Laizi's hand.
But how smart is Wang Laizi?
He had been secretly observing the situation of Old Lady Lin's family. How could they have 150 kilograms of corn?
If I let her go back, it would be difficult for me to collect the debt in front of her third son.
"You have no food at home, old hag."
"Just pay back the money according to the second plan my family discussed."
"One pound of corn, just give me one ounce of silver." Wang Laizi grabbed Old Lady Lin's arm, preventing her from going back, and shamelessly stated his offer.
According to him, if he lent out 100 kilograms of corn, he would have to pay back 150 taels of silver.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Lin couldn't catch her breath and fell to the ground.
"Oh!" Wang Laizi saw that Old Lady Lin fainted, so he quickly pressed her philtrum and pinched it hard.
Perhaps because he used too much force, he actually pushed down two of Mrs. Lin's front teeth.
'call! '
Old Mrs. Lin opened her eyes and gasped for fresh air. Finally, a fishy and sweet smell came to her, making her unable to help but spit on the ground.
In an instant, she spat out two teeth.
Looking at the two bloody front teeth on the ground.
Old Mrs. Lin was so excited that she almost fainted again.
Fortunately, Wang Laizi's slap came in time.
With a "slap", the slap completely woke up Old Lady Lin.
Old Mrs. Lin covered her face and said with a leaky mouth:
"I...don't have any money."
"No, you have money." Wang Laizi insisted.
Others may not know, but he remembers it clearly.
Especially Mrs. Lin's family, they received the previous pension plus the money from selling grain, and the money Lin Ze earned from copying books, etc.
It’s definitely more than three hundred taels.
Wasn’t there a general silver note for the border before?
That's a large silver note worth one hundred taels.
In addition to the banknotes, Mrs. Lin's family must have some money.
All together, it’s almost enough to pay myself back.
Thinking of this, Wang Laizi's mouth curled up slightly into a deep smile:
"Do you need me to help you find it?"
Old Mrs. Lin saw that while Wang Laizi was talking to her, he used his two hands to turn into claws and kept grabbing her.
A chill rushed from the bottom of my heart and went straight to the top of my head.
"I'm over fifty years old, don't joke with me like this!" Old Mrs. Lin said, holding her hands in front of her chest, hoping to get help from the Wang family members in Wangjia Village.
But everyone around was just watching coldly.
No one offered her a helping hand, which made Old Mrs. Lin feel desperate.
Wang Laizi gave Old Lady Lin a wicked smile while bending over and approaching gently.
He is not the kind of person who will eat anything when he is hungry.
Ever since he saw the prostitutes in the brothel, he only felt greed for people like Old Lady Lin, and had no lust at all.
But his rogue and wretched face made it difficult for Old Lady Lin not to think in that direction.
In despair, Mrs. Lin shouted:
"I give, I give!"
"I have on me a total of 100 taels of border silver notes and 35 taels of small silver notes commonly used in the southern border."
"All for you, all for you!"
Screaming, Old Mrs. Lin reached into her arms, took out the silver note and threw it to Wang Laizi.
After Wang Laizi took the banknote, he kept laughing evilly.
"There is still fifteen taels missing, Mrs. Lin, shall I go home with you to get it?" Wang Laizi made a move to move closer, gesturing twice in the air with his hands dishonestly.
Old Mrs. Lin was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground.
Her movements were so swift that you would have thought she had practiced martial arts.
"call!"
"call!"
Old Mrs. Lin pushed the cart quickly towards home, not daring to look back.
But she could clearly hear Wang Laizi's footsteps behind her.
She felt nervous and anxious, and the oppressive feeling of being oppressed by the moral code of Lazi made her even more anxious.
When she returned to the cart at home, Old Mrs. Lin opened her package and took out two silver ingots, one large and one small, and threw fifteen taels of silver to Wang Laizi.
Shout loudly:
"IOU!"
"Give me the IOU!"
After taking the silver ingot, Wang Laizi excitedly threw the IOU over.
Those millets were only worth a few taels of silver, but he easily got back one hundred and fifty taels, which was a huge profit!
"Mrs. Lin, we don't have enough food at home. Remember to come and borrow from me again." Wang Laizi said as he strode away.
Looking at his back, Old Mrs. Lin spat several times.
Cursed in a low voice:
"Who's crazy enough to borrow something from your family?"
Lin Ze looked at his mother's disheveled appearance in confusion.
After my mother calmed down a bit, she asked softly:
"Mother...what happened?"
"Why is there an IOU?"
