Chapter 33 Creditors come to the door
Chapter 33 The Creditor Comes to Your Door
Old Liang nodded and looked at Liang Yulin.

"The people over there are rich and powerful, and their eyeballs grow on the top of their heads. If you have met me twice, you may not buy it. You have to send someone more stable to go with me!" Liang Yulin shrugged. shoulder road.

Old Liangtou looked at Jin Xi again, Jin Xi glanced around the room, and said: "Second Uncle is right. If you don't go to someone who is stable, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back. Our family is the most respected besides the master. Besides, the big hall brother is the most respectable, a dignified scholar, who doesn't need to kneel when meeting the county master, and the big hall brother will definitely be able to suppress the scene. I just don't know if the big hall brother is willing to run here to save the uncle a trip?"

No matter which time and space you are in, no matter what your status is, whether you are poor or rich, the word filial piety is the most important thing.

In the selection of officials by the ancient emperors, not only the virtue and ability of the ministers, but also the filial piety of the ministers was also the key content of the assessment.

I heard that in some dynasties, those who were officials outside the country had to return to their hometown for three years after the death of their parents.

In such a big background and environment, as Liang Lihui, who bears the fame of a scholar and the eldest grandson of the old Liang family, even if he is unwilling to make a trip, it is related to the future. Liang Lihui can't save his father in Fenglin Town Say half a sentence of excuses.

The next day, just after dawn, the cattle dealer came and took away the old scalper in the backyard.

While cooking breakfast, Butcher Zhang from the East Village, along with two of his family members, drove an ox cart and took away the two pigs in the pigsty. The backyard of Lao Liang's house was full of noise all morning.

Just after finishing breakfast, Lao Jiangtou, an old friend of Lao Liangtou in the village, led a group of people to the gate of Lao Liang's house. Naturally, the whole family of Lao Liang's house was waiting for him. Jin Xi also followed in the crowd, surrounded by Lao Liangtou He went into the dining hall to talk with the creditor.

Old Jiangtou, as the matchmaker in the middle, gave an introduction first.The specific situation of Old Liangtou's house must have been told by Old Jiangtou to the person along the way.This meeting is mainly to introduce that person.

The man claimed that his surname was Fang, and he was also from Wanghai County. He came to Changqiao Town a year ago and opened a restaurant in the town.

Old Liangtou asked again the name of the restaurant, and he said it was called Mingshan Pavilion. Liang Yulin often ran to the town, followed Liang Yuju to Mingshan Pavilion to drink twice, and said that the size of the restaurant ranked first in the town. top three.

Everyone called him Fang the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Fang waved his hand politely, and exchanged greetings with old Liangtou: "Speaking of which, I have to call you old uncle of the Liang family. I'm the nephew of Jinjishan Village!"

Old Liangtou didn't know why, but Old Jiangtou laughed and told the whole story.

It turned out that although the storekeeper was from a foreign town, his biological mother, Mrs. Jiang, was Lao Jiangtou's cousin in the clan.

Jiang's surname is a common surname in Jinjishan Village. This cousin of Lao Jiangtou's parents left early since childhood, and Lao Jiangtou's parents took care of her a lot.Later, she married a street peddler surnamed Fang in another town, and gave birth to a boy and a girl.

That man was the shopkeeper Fang sitting in front of Old Liangtou.

Old Liangtou worked as a knife and pen official in Wanghai County Yamen for 20 years. He moved to Jinjishan Village with his family when he was around 40 years old.Jiang Shi, who was married to another town, had never met face to face, but if he really wanted to be involved forcibly, shopkeeper Fang could bear to call him the old uncle of the Liang family.

Old Liangtou politely asked Mrs. Jiang, the mother of Fang's shopkeeper. After asking, he found out that the Jiang family had passed away a long time ago, and now Old Liangtou and Jiangtou sighed.

"Oh, according to this theory, our two families are really relatives. We are of the same generation, and we can be regarded as cousins. When we go to town in the future, we will have to bother you, cousin!" Liang Yulin leaned over to accompany him said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Fang smiled kindly, neither inviting nor refusing.The two parties exchanged polite greetings, and began to sit down and get down to business.

"Old uncle of the Liang family, what about your family? My old uncle mentioned it to me along the way. We are all relatives, so we won't beat around the bush. I am a restaurant businessman, lending money. Son, just take care of relatives and neighbors for a while, and follow the rules, and I will suffer a little for you, the old uncle of the Liang family, and I will almost get the interest." Everyone in the room pricked up their ears to listen.

Jin Xi secretly looked at the shopkeeper Fang, he was about forty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, and straight eyebrows.Wearing a pale blue wide-sleeved deep coat that is probably new, he is amiable when talking to people.

Not only can you not see the arrogance of the creditor coming to the door, but it gives people the feeling of being humble and easy to talk about.

Jin Xi noticed that shopkeeper, since she entered the door, she kept looking around, the decorations in the front house and the backyard of Old Liang's house, even the dried peppers hanging on the porch in the backyard, and the dried eggplants drying in the dustpan. The dried bean pods should not have escaped his attention.The shrewd calculation in those eyes cannot be underestimated.

Jin Xi heard them talk about loan sharks, there are many types, the most common ones are as follows: Nine Out Thirteen Returns, Donkey Rolling, Ridge, Lamb, Sit on the Floor, etc.

Shopkeeper Fang put out several kinds for Lao Liangtou to choose carefully, and Lao Liangtou chose with a bitter expression on his face.Shopkeeper Fang took out an improved abacus from his pocket again, and helped Old Liang to make the calculations.

Listening to them adding up the interest under the various types of loan models, Jin Xi also calculated in his mind and compared them. This kind of lamb interest for borrowing one and repaying two should be the most suitable for the current situation of the old Liang family.

Sure enough, the crackling sound of the abacus stopped, and Lao Liang raised his head. After a lot of weighing, he finally planned to borrow the lamb.

The method of borrowing lamb interest is to borrow one and repay two, with a period of one year. Lao Liangtou borrowed 350 taels of silver this year, and will repay 700 taels by this time next year.

Naturally, there must be collateral. Old Liang’s family has [-] acres of land, all of which are used as collateral.

Old Jiangtou was the witness, and the two parties drew up a loan contract. The shopkeeper Fang signed his name and fingerprinted it, and agreed to wait for the old Liang's family to press Liang Yuju's fingerprint, and then release the money immediately.

After finishing these things in the morning, Lao Liangtou immediately sent Liang Yulin and Liang Lihui to Fenglin Town with the contract.

Rush from Changqiao Town to Fenglin Town, first get Liang Yuju's signature for fingerprints, then return to Mingshan Pavilion in Changqiao Town, give it to the shopkeeper Fang, and exchange it for silver.

All these had to go back and forth on the same day, and no matter how good your feet are, you couldn't keep up. Naturally, you had to ask Mrs. Tan for some money to hire a car.

Here, Old Liangtou wanted to keep Old Jiangtou and Shopkeeper Fang after lunch, but both of them refused.
