《Ancient Wife [ DANMEI MTL ]》42: Return the money!
Advertisement
Zhang Qingzhu took a few steps back in fright, and explained aggrievedly. "This money is worth the money. There is no problem with the way it came. It was him who sold the money, neither stolen nor robbed. It was clean money, and I would take it without incident."
Mrs. Wang scolded angrily, "You! You have No brains? Why did he lend you so much money for no reason? What are his plans for you, don't you know?"
She reached out and poked Zhang Qingzhu's forehead fiercely, hating that iron was not steel, " You are also involved with people like him, can you have some snacks!"
Zhang Qingzhu wanted to cry aggrieved. "I know he likes me and wants to marry me. What are you afraid of? I borrowed it from him, why do you say it? It's the same as if I sold myself."
"You..." Seeing his young son's stony head, Mrs. Wang said, "I'm about to be mad at you! Have you ever thought that if he wants us to pay off your debts with you? What should I do?"
"No." Zhang Qingzhu explained, "He didn't ask me to sign the IOU. If he is so bad, I will default on the debt! Mother, shall we keep the money? Let the second brother marry them."
Wang Shi refused flatly. "No! We can't afford it."
She also felt distressed for several sons, and she felt distressed when she refused, but she couldn't agree. She couldn't do it by sacrificing her younger son for the sake of the other sons. She also knew that several sons would not be willing.
Zhang Qingzhu said anxiously. "I know I can't pay it back, but he didn't force me to pay it back immediately. We can pay it back slowly, he's still not short of money, he..."
Mrs. Wang interrupted him. "Don't talk about it. You Return the money."
Zhang Qingzhu said stubbornly, "I won't! I won't pay it back. This is what I borrowed, and I want to stay."
Mrs. Wang was angry. "You don't listen to your mother?"
"I didn't. If you don't pay it back, I won't pay it back. Woohoo..." Zhang Qingzhu cried while holding the purse. "I won't pay it back, I won't pay it back..."
Seeing the little brother crying, a few people felt uncomfortable. Zhang Qingyong comforted him. "Xiaozhu, don't cry. Listen to your mother, okay? Return the money to that Liang Han."
Zhang Qingzhu cried and asked him, "Don't you want to marry the girl Cuicui?"
Zhang Qingyong's eyes flashed depression. "I... Anyway, you should pay back the money first. It's not our family's money after all."
"No, it's mine when I borrow it."
It made her sad. She looked at her younger son angrily and gave an ultimatum. "Return the money! Otherwise, you won't have dinner!"
Zhang Qingzhu held the purse and insisted. "I won't pay it back."
Then he looked at his several brothers, "If you guys rob, I'll leave."
These words stopped a few people who were about to do it.
Zhang Qingyuan was depressed. "I shouldn't have been so used to you before! Your so disobedient!"
"I don't care, I want to stay..." Zhang Qingzhu burst into tears while holding the purse. He wants to keep the money, no one says it's useless, he must keep the money.
"Don't cry!" Wang Shi was also befuddled by him, "When you were still young?"
Father Zhang was still a little worried when he heard the commotion here, and slowly walked out of the house to the door. Hearing the sound of his younger son crying, he was so anxious. "Xiaozhu, what's the matter with you?"

He pushed open the door to go in.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly left her unhappy son and ran out. Seeing her husband, she hurriedly supported him. "Why did you come out? Let's go back to the house."
Father Zhang was very worried. "
Mrs. Wang blocked the door. "He didn't cry, he was making trouble. Don't pay attention to him."
"Then why is he making trouble?" Although the younger son has a temper, he will not make trouble unreasonably, Dad was a little worried, "I'll go in and have a look, why are you crying?"
Zhang Qingyuan was anxious. "Little Ancestor, hurry up and shut up!"
Zhang Qinglin hurriedly walked out. "Dad, don't worry, Xiaozhu is just throwing a temper. He...he was arguing with Chunlian, and he was so angry that he didn't take advantage of it. "
Father Zhang believed what his third son said. The youngest son couldn't hold back his temper, and he was always fighting with the third daughter-in-law.
He couldn't help laughing and crying.
"This child is still like a child."
Zhang Qingzhu in the room stopped his voice, but he was crying so hard just now that he couldn't stop it. The hiccups look ridiculous and pathetic.
There is no way for the brothers to take him.
"I..." Zhang Qingzhu hiccupped to express his attitude, "I... I won't pay it back."
Zhang Qingyuan was so angry that he scratched his head. "You... should really beat you up."
"You... hiccup . ...you hit me... hiccup... don't pay it back."
......
Liang Han didn't know how hard Zhang Qingzhu fought to get his family to accept the money, and it seems that he has not achieved what he wanted.
In the middle of the afternoon, Liang Han saw that his face had already been posted. He went to grab some firewood first, and it was delicious to steam the steamed buns and burn the firewood.
After taking the firewood home, he started steaming the steamed buns.
There is no shortage of grain in his family, and all they use is wheat flour.
Although there is no fine flour milled here, and there is some dough, it still tastes very good.
After all the buns were cut, Liang Han thought that there was still a child at home, so he took the brown sugar he bought before and wrapped some sugar triangles.
When the full pot of steamed buns came out of the pot, Liang Han smelled the rich flavor of the noodles and said with emotion.
"Although the material life in this world is so deficient that it makes people want to collapse, but I don't know how many people I am talking about in my current life. I'm envious." He knew that many people in the village couldn't eat several meals of white flour steamed buns all year round.
Not to mention that he cooks vegetables every day, especially in winter, everyone eats sauce most of the time, and something like his family is simply extravagant.
Picking up the steamed buns in the bun basket, Liang Han took one and took a bite, instantly satisfied. "Delicious!"
This steamed bun was not like the steamed buns he had eaten before, and the steamed buns made without anything could not be so white.
And the steamed buns he made were a little yellow, but they were very strong and delicious.
Moreover, the steamed buns steamed on the stove were hard in some places, and they tasted crunchy.
This can only be steamed by the stove.

Before taking the dish, Liang Han ate a steamed bun in a few mouthfuls, and then he steamed a pot again.
When the steamed buns are about to come out of the pot, because the bottom of the stove is made of wood, he can leave for a while even if it is burning.
He as about to go and call back Xiao Shi that went out to play to eat steamed buns.
Walking in the village, Liang Han shouted as he walked. "Xiao Shi - Xiao Shi -"
Because it was almost evening, there were not many voices calling the children to go home.
Liang Han could hear the live version of "Your mother called you to go home for dinner" every day, especially at noon, the voice came one after another, shouting for children who forgot to go home for dinner.
After shouting for a while, he saw Xiao Shishi running over like a dirty child. "Uncle Liang—"
Liang Han saw the child smiling and said, "Go, go home, Uncle made you delicious food."
Shi was very happy when he heard it, and Liang Han said that he made delicious food for him, and it must be very delicious.
"Uncle Liang, what delicious food did you cook for me?" He asked expectantly.
Liang Han looked at the child, the child's personality has been much happier since he played with the children in the village. It looks like a normal and happy child. It seems that when he first came, he was very cautious.
"What's the hurry, you'll know when you get home. Seeing how dirty you are playing, you have to wash it well when you go back."
The children in the village are all the same.
Liang Han didn't care about Xiao Shi, he just played with him. Just wash your hands and face when you eat.
When he got home, Xiao Shi obediently washed his hands and face clean, and then saw the sugar triangle that Liang Han brought him. "Uncle Liang, what is this?"
Liang Han put all the steamed buns away, "Sugar triangle, there is sugar in it. Be careful when you eat it, the sugar water in it can get hot."
To prevent him from being burned, Liang Han took the sugar triangle in his hand and opened it a little. Let him see the sugar water in it, "Don't drink the sugar water in it, it will be scalded, and you will eat it."
There is no child who doesn't like sugar, and Xiao Shi will be pleasantly surprised when he smells the sweet smell. "Oh, I see."
Liang Han gave him the sugar triangle, and then took a basket with a few sugar triangles and steamed buns, "I'll go to my uncle's house, and you can take a good look at the house."
"You're so good, I'll cook eggs for you when I come back."
Liang Han carried the freshly steamed steamed buns and sugar triangles, and went to Uncle Liang's house with money in one hand. At this time, Uncle Liang and the others should have returned.
Liang Han entered Uncle Liang's house, and their whole family was there. Because Liang Han recently earned some money, the family has become more enthusiastic about Liang Han.
One is that he has benefited from Liang Han, and the other is that he feels that Liang Han is grateful, and his help in the past was not in vain.
Seeing Liang Han coming, the Jiang family warmly greeted him into the house.
Liang Han handed the basket to her, "Auntie, I just steamed the steamed buns and got some for you. I have a few sugar triangles for Xiaolei and the others to eat."
For a while, she really felt that Liang Han had changed a lot and became a better man.
Liang Xiaoshu smiled and let him sit over, and let his eldest son take the money from today's sale, "Come on, Xiaohan, this is the money earned today."
Liang Han smiled and accepted it. Since Brother Zhang Qingzhu stopped doing it, he gave up the job. It was done for Uncle Liang's family, and they were both satisfied with the same salary.
"Uncle, I have something to tell you." After speaking, he glanced at a few children in the room.
Seeing this, Uncle Liang knew that it must be a more important matter, so he said to the three children, "Your cousin brought you something to eat, let's go out to eat steamed buns."
Several children obediently left the house, wondering what was going on.
So mysterious.
Liang Han naturally had to talk to Uncle Liang's family about selling the recipe.
Because Zhang Qingzhu's reaction that he immediately exploded when he heard that he sold the recipe let him know that, as soon as he said it out, maybe Uncle Liang would be as disappointed in him as Zhang Qingzhu.
He didn't want Uncle Liang to misunderstand him.
Uncle Liang was a good person, and he needed the help of his elders for some things in the future.
So when they came, Liang Han thought of a statement, a statement that would be easier for them to accept.
"Uncle, I sold the bean sprouts recipe." Liang Han hurriedly said after seeing Uncle Liang's surprised expression, "Don't worry, just listen to me slowly."
Uncle Liang was really shocked, this bean sprouts business is good, if you hold the recipe, Liang Han's life doesn't have to be worried.
Even if someone else has researched the method of making bean sprouts in the future, Liang Han can also do it as a life-long business, the big deal is that it is not as profitable as it is now.
So when he heard that Liang Han had sold the recipe, he couldn't bear it.
The first reaction in Liang Xiaoshu's mind was the same as Zhang Qingzhu's, thinking that Liang Han might be fascinated by the money they gave him.
However, because Liang Han has improved a lot recently, he did not immediately reprimand, but suppressed his temper and listened to what he said. "Tell me, what do you think."
There was still some anger in his words.
Liang Han explained slowly, "It's like this. Someone suddenly came to my house a few days ago and said he wanted to buy bean sprouts recipes. He said he was the steward of the Lin Mansion. I have heard that this Lin Mansion is the most famous one in Pingmo City. The rich family. So I didn't dare to neglect him."
"He said that his young master liked my bean sprouts recipe and wanted to buy it. Naturally, I didn't want to sell it. After all, how much they could pay for the purchase was a one-time transaction. My bean sprouts may be sold for a lifetime. But since it is the Lin family, I don't dare to refuse directly. I just wanted to hold it off first, and told the steward that I would consider it."
Uncle Liang heard that it was the Lin family.
He has also heard of famous people in Pingmo City. It is said that there are officials in the mansion, but they are not comparable to ordinary people like them.
He heard that the gate was built in a special style, and people like them dare not approach it.
Liang Han went on to say, "The manager is easy to talk about. I said to think about it, but he didn't force me to sell it. Then I waited for the manager to leave and I thought about it all afternoon. I think it's better to sell it."
"They are rich and powerful people, so poor people like me can't fight against them. I thought, even if I insist on not selling it, if people are not authentic, they will sneak into my yard to take a peek. You also know that the recipe for bean sprouts is actually very simple, just take a peek a few times, and it's easy to find it out. I think I can still get a fortune if I sell it now. If I just carry it, I'm really annoying Who knows what will happen."
Uncle Liang was silent after listening.
He understood that Liang Han's plan was right, although he was helpless. They are just ordinary people, how can they fight against the powerful and powerful.
What those rich and powerful people will do, it's really not something that people like them can afford. He was deeply touched by this.
Take fields, for example. They have a lot of land in Dongluo Village, firstly because their villagers are quite united and not bullied at will, and secondly because there is not much good land in their village.
The whole village has only a few acres of top-grade fields. To put it nicely, every adult man has been allocated enough fields, but they are all low-level fields and few middle-level fields.
Those rich and powerful people are very greedy for land.
In the past few years, some old landlords used any tricks to get good land.
Or hook up with people who have good fields and do not learn well, owe gambling debts and sell the fields in their hands at a low price.
Or directly rely on the power to buy and sell by force, and even cause people's lives.
In those few years, the troubles were fierce, and people with good fields were worried that they would be in trouble.
Later, because people were killed, the troubles became quite big, and people from above put pressure on them and punished them.
Therefore, recently It's been a little bit more subdued in a few years.
Land is the foundation of their peasants' lives, and it is really meticulous to take care of good farmland.
Who would not feel pain or feel aggrieved if they were robbed like this. But what can be done. It is impossible to fight against the rich and powerful.
"Hey—" Uncle Liang sighed,
"Well, that's what I think." Liang Han said something in his heart, but he felt that this statement
That's right. There are such things as stealing and robbing. If he really refuses to sell, he can't guarantee that the Lin family will not do anything.
Seeing that Uncle Liang didn't blame him for this matter, Liang Han pushed the wallet on the table in front of him, "I didn't discuss with you about selling the seller, and I don't want you to get sulky with you. Uncle, this is twenty Guan, you keep it."
Liang Xiaoshu looked at the package and said, "I can't take this money. It's yours, you save it."
Liang Han smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be polite to me. I had to sell it, but I also sold a lot of money. Once I sell this recipe, your family will not be able to do this bean sprouts business in the future, and there will be a lot of losses. You can take the money."
He originally planned to give Liang Xiaoshu's family was fifty, but he changed his mind.
After all, he is not the original owner, and he doesn't have much kinship with Uncle Liang's family.
Although money is not a good thing, it can best test people's hearts.
Although this recipe belonged to him, and he took Liang Xiaoshu's family to make money in the business, but when Fang Zi sold Liang Xiaoshu's family, he really lost.
He wanted to see the reaction of the family. If his character could stand the test, he would treat him as his uncle from now on.
Liang Xiaoshu didn't even ask how much Liang Han sold for it.
It was indeed quite a sum of money for the 20 pieces, but he couldn't collect it. "No loss whatsoever. My family has been able to make money recently thanks to you. Save this money well, without the bean sprouts business, there will be no way to make money."
He couldn't help but teach Liang Han, "Uncle knows that you have got some money, but don't spend it indiscriminately. You are not too young, If you want to start a family and start a business, you can't have money. Listen to Uncle, you have to hold this money well, and you can't spend it lavishly, buy a cow next year, and farm the land well."
Liang Han could see that Liang Xiaoshu was really thinking about him, but Uncle Liang can completely stand in his position, but the rest of Uncle Liang's family are not necessarily so.
After all, he could have money in his account every day, but suddenly it is gone, and he must be uncomfortable.
A broad-minded person can think clearly, but such people are few and far between.
So Liang Han was going to give them this large sum of money. If it was 50 yuan, there might be nothing to see from that much sum of money.
If the family treats him as usual, he will not lose them in the future, "Uncle, I know what you said. I had planned to buy a cow next year, and keep the money. As for the money, you take it, isn't Xiaozhi going to get married next year, just treat it as a gift from my cousin to him."
