Now is not like the future. If you don't inherit your father's inheritance, you don't have to pay back the money.

From the current point of view, it is only natural that a father's debt should be repaid by his son. Even if he is sued to the police station, the money must be repaid.

"That family has a son with handicapped legs and feet. He has not married a wife for 27 years. If he lets his daughter marry him, he will give us five yuan as a bride price."

When the couple said this, they covered their faces with both hands.

They don't want to think that even if they favor sons over daughters, their daughters are just pieces of flesh that have fallen from their bodies.

Marrying a lame man of that age is simply sending your daughter into a pit of fire.

What can I do? They can't come up with 20 yuan at all.

I couldn't help feeling resentful in my heart. What had my father done? How could he borrow so much money?

Gu Xue frowned and felt a little strange.

20 yuan, just a few years ago, this purchasing power was not ordinary.

What are you going to do with all this money?

"Have you ever seen an IOU?"

The two adults did not speak, but the child did.

"I've seen it before. Grandpa's name was written on it and his fingerprints were pressed."

Xiaohua has gone to school and can write the names of everyone in her family.

This is difficult to handle, but what exactly did you do to borrow 20 yuan?

Not knowing the specifics of the matter, Gu Xue didn't dare to say what was going on, but she felt something was wrong in her heart.

"Now that you don't have a stove in your house, you can't survive this life. It just so happens that I still have a few that have been eliminated at home. We don't need them anyway. It just so happens that you and Xiaohua are moving two of them from my house."

When Gu Xue was at Xiaohua's house, she could feel the draft all around. The adults could get over it after a while, but the children couldn't help it.

He took his family members to this family's home.

In the corner of the yard are the four stoves they eliminated.

The new stove built this year is very easy to use. Gu Xue specially bought several iron meshes from the garbage station, and they can also roast sweet potatoes on them.

After using a new stove, the old stove no longer smells good.

Usually I only move one or two to use when sitting in the yard, and the rest are basically left there to collect dust.

The two looked at Gu Xue with grateful expressions in their eyes.

"Axue, thank you very much. I'll give you back Xiaobao's clothes."

Gu Xue looked at the child shivering from the cold and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I originally thought it was a family that wanted to sell their daughter, but I didn't expect it to be another family trapped by money.

After all, I couldn't say any words of criticism. From the bottom of my wardrobe, I found several pieces of clothing that I could no longer wear.

I took two or three items and gave them to Xiaohua.

"These clothes are no longer worn by the teacher. Take them back first and pay attention to your health. I will ask the village chief about what happened at home."

Gu Xue always felt that the borrowed money was really too much, and even thinking about it, she thought it was impossible.

This was five or six years ago. At that time, 20 yuan was a sky-high price. How could ordinary people spend so much money?

The two adults were holding a stove each, Xiaohua was wearing a piece of clothing, the child was wearing a piece of clothing, and they were holding another piece of clothing in their hands.

In this cold winter, I seem to feel unprecedented warmth. The two adults walked in front, tears streaming down their faces.

This life was too hard. The two of them were even discussing whether to take rat poison the day before, but they didn't dare. They could only watch their daughter get married.

Now they have their own heater, and the children wear warm clothes so they won't freeze to death in winter.

As long as you don't die, there is still hope. As long as there is hope, you can always pay back the money.

Gu Xue turned around and went to Gu Guofu's house. Gu Guofu was looking at the account books in the village.

The new year is coming, and all farm tools that are owed to the village for public use must be taken back before sowing.

Also count the amount of damage, and try to send it for repair if it can be repaired.

He was actually very surprised when he saw Gu Xue coming.

"Axue, why are you here?"

Gu Xue briefly explained what happened today and the reason for her visit.

"When he borrowed the money, did the team leader know? It was only 20 yuan. Five or six years ago, that much money could buy several houses, and they were still big brick houses."

Gu Guofu frowned, holding the account book in his hand, and his eyes were a little confused.

As we get older, our memory slowly weakens, and it takes a while to remember things from the past.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Guofu finally found this paragraph from his memory.

"Axue, you just said it was 20 yuan? That's impossible. I remember that it was Gu Niuzhuang who borrowed two yuan from someone and wrote an IOU."

Gu Guofu returned to the room, rummaged around in the corner of the room, and finally found a thick book.

Opening it carefully, there were many things inside.

Opening the pages one by one, looking at everything on them carefully.

Finally found it, it was an IOU.

"When you said this, I didn't realize it at the time. The money should have been repaid. This IOU was redeemed by Gu Niuzhuang. At that time, he said he would put it with me, but he didn't come over later to ask me. It’s about to pass.”

Gu Guofu basically puts things like this in the mezzanine and puts them all away properly.

Gu Xue looked at the text on it. It clearly said that it was a loan of two yuan, and it also said that it had been repaid on the IOU.

Although the mark is a little blurry, you can still see the words on it very clearly.

Gu Guofu looked at the IOU and then looked at Gu Xue's somewhat ugly expression, which didn't look very good either.

As a captain, although he always has some small thoughts in his heart, in terms of general direction, it must be towards the people in his own village.

After all, as a captain for decades, Gu Guofu has regarded the entire village as being on his side. Nowadays, it is not so easy for someone to deceive one of his own.

Gu Guofu brought the IOU and Gu Xue to Xiaohua's home.

Along the way, Gu Guofu learned as much as possible from Gu Xue about the situation. The more he learned about it, the more he felt that this family was simply audacious.

The IOU, which was obviously two yuan, could be changed to 20 yuan, and they also asked me to marry off my daughter.

A 27-year-old cripple has really beautiful thoughts.

Just when they arrived at the door of Xiaohua's house, they heard the quarrel inside.

A sharp female voice directly pierced the eardrum.

"Either pay back the money now, or let your daughter go to my house. Anyway, she is going to marry into my house, so you might as well come here early to get familiar with her."
