Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 6 Mortgage in Property
"How much food do you want to borrow?" After a long silence, Lu Anfu suddenly asked.

Su Yun froze for a moment, opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Anfu in disbelief.At first, I thought it would take some effort, after all, the patriarch is well known in the village for being stingy.

But now that Lu Anfu asked like this, it means that he is willing to borrow food. Isn't this a little too smooth?A sentence came to Su Yun's mind: There is something strange about this matter.

However, she and a few children had to starve to death if they could not borrow food.No matter what kind of idea Lu Anfu was planning, he couldn't care less about it right now, and he had to get through this winter before making any plans.

As for how much food to borrow...

Su Yun's brain was running at supersonic speed, and he calculated the food needed for the winter for the eight members of his family. He had just calculated it, and was about to speak, when he heard Lu Anfu say: "Make an IOU, and press a fingerprint , when the autumn harvest next year has to be returned..."

"What?!" Su Yun opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Anfu, that seemingly honest face looked so hideous in her eyes at the moment.

A wave of anger surged from the bottom of her heart and rushed straight to the door of her head, her hair was almost on fire. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and asked, "Forgive Sanniang for being ignorant, what does Uncle mean?" ?”

"Hmph!" Before Lu Anfu could speak, Wang Shi who was on the side answered, "Just make the meaning of what you said... What's the matter? Don't understand? Yo..."

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly, and stretched out her hand to support the silver hairpin on her head, "Since it's borrowed food, there must be time to pay it back, right? Why? Mrs. Su, what do you mean by what you said? Do you want to borrow the food? return?"

"San Niang didn't mean that..." Su Yun took a deep breath, looking at the frightened Wang Shi, he really wanted to go up and tear this old lady Yu up, NND, that's too bullying!
"Madam's words are reasonable..." Lu Anfu took a puff of tobacco, exhaled a circle of white smoke, and tapped his calf with the stick of tobacco, saying: "Although they are all relatives, but Su, whose family is this?" The grain is not stolen, even if it is a relative, you have to pay back the grain you borrowed, right?"

"San Niang didn't say she wouldn't pay it back..." Su Yun gritted his teeth.

"Okay!" Lu Anfu nodded, "If you have what you say, it will be done. Then tell me, how much food do you want to borrow? Make an IOU, press a fingerprint, and then take the food back. As for the mortgage... um..."

"You still need to mortgage?!" Su Yun smiled. He has seen the best, but he has never seen such a best.They also said that they were relatives, and to borrow some food, not only had to issue an IOU, but also had to mortgage the property. If they knew they were relatives, they would think they were enemies if they didn't!

"Huh?" Mrs. Wang continued, "It's strange what you said. If there is no mortgage, who would dare to borrow money and food these days? You also know that there is a war in the north..."

"Okay, okay!" Su Yun nodded, and said with a sneer, "Auntie's words are reasonable. Uncle, you see, what is suitable for mortgage? Sanniang wants to borrow five stones!"

"Five stones?!" Wang's voice suddenly rose, glaring at Su Yun and said: "You really dare to speak, why don't you go and grab it? Even the broken thatched huts in your house are worth five stones?!"

"Oh..." Su Yun nodded, "So the mortgage is the thatched cottages of my house?" Su Yun smiled lightly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, "Okay, let's mortgage the thatched cottages! It's worth five stones grain!"

"Ha!" Mrs. Wang laughed loudly, "You are not afraid of bad luck in the house where so many people died, how dare you speak!"

"Okay!" Lu Anfu patted the table, glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Stop saying a few words, we are relatives after all. Mrs. Su, do you really want to use your house as a mortgage?"

"Master, I..."

"To shut up!"

Lu Anfu winked at Wang Shi, Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then closed his mouth.

Seeing all this, Su Yun felt a little puzzled.Is there any mystery in those thatched huts at home?Look at Lu Anfu's expression...

It is worth pondering!

"Five shi grains are five shi grains, but right now there is a war in the north, five shi grains, do you have an opinion?" Lu Anfu asked.

Su Yun squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "But it's up to uncle to decide."

There is no other way, even if there is any mystery in my thatched hut, I have to make a detour in front of my stomach.It would be nice to be able to borrow food.Although Su Yun is a traveler, although she may have knowledge that these natives do not have, she is only a carbohydrate, and it would be fatal if there is no food.

No matter what kind of idea this Lu Anfu had, the situation was compelling, so he had no choice but to admit it.But...

Su Yun's eyeballs rolled around twice. After the food was in hand, he had to go home and mobilize a few children to clean up their huts to see if there was any mystery involved.

Maybe the original owner's dead ghost husband or parents-in-law buried something in the ground?Otherwise, how could stingy people like Lu Anfu and Wang borrow money so readily?
You know, even five shi of coarse grain is not a small amount for a small landlord.In an age of low productivity, food is everything.

Lu Anfu took a pen and paper, wrote a note, handed it to Su Yun and said, "Look at it, if there is no problem, just draw a note."

Su Yun nodded, took the note, and was about to read it when he heard Mrs. Wang say: "Hmph, pretending, who knows that you Su Sanniang is illiterate, do you understand?"

Su Yun pursed his lips and smiled, handed the note to Lu Erlang, and said, "Erlang, take a look for my sister-in-law."

"Huh!" Wang snorted coldly, turned her head away, and her sense of superiority suddenly dropped in front of people who were also literate.

Su Yun raised his lips, sneered in his heart, ignored Wang's Naqiao, turned around and asked Lu Erlang, "Erlang, what's the problem?"

Lu Erlang shook his head, handed the note to Su Yun and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no problem."

Su Yun nodded, stretched out his thumb to press on the red clay, pressed his fingerprint on the note, and said, "In this way, there will be Uncle Lao."

"Where are you talking..." Lu Anfu smiled slightly, "They are all from my own family, so they don't speak the same language. Ping'er, take Sanniang to get the food."

"Yes, Daddy..." Lu Chenping nodded to accept the order, made a gesture of invitation to Su Sanniang, and said, "Little sister-in-law, please..."

Su Yun nodded and looked at Lu Chenping.This person and my uncles and sisters-in-law belong to the same generation, and they are all born with the word "Chen". This year, there are three in their twenties. They have a face with Chinese characters, and their thick lips are full of loyalty.

Unlike his parents, Lu Chenping has a good reputation in the village. I heard that he is not as arrogant as his parents, but has the same face as this one, a loyal and honest person.

But these are all legends from the outside world. As for what people are like, only God knows.

Following Lu Chenping to the granary, after the five stones of grain were weighed, Lu Chenping said: "My sister-in-law is weak, Erlang is still young, I will help my sister-in-law to send the grain back."

"Thank you so much Uncle..." Su Yun blessed his body, Lu Chenping found a cart, put all the food on it, sent Su Yun and Erlang to the door of the house, and helped Su Yun move all the food into the house , and then I bid farewell and left...
