Chapter 01: Blocking the door
In March, the peach blossoms are red, the willows are green, and the image of a thriving party is a good season for an outing.
Yang Ruo dreamed that he and his friends went to the suburbs to play, preparing to go fishing in the White Horse Lake, and then make a whole fish feast.
Her fishing skills are good, and the bait is the best, so in a short time, she caught a full basket.
The silver light on the fish is overwhelming, jumping around, and it is happy when it looks at it,
Yang Ruo's heart was full of joy, thinking about turning these fatty fish into delicacies.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But she didn't want to be at this moment, a voice suddenly came out of her ear, and then she felt a pain in her ear. "You dead girl, the sun is all on your ass, and you're still pretending to sleep here. Still laughing, what are you dreaming of, I raised you so hard, you little white-eyed wolf with no conscience.........."
The familiar scolding woke Yang Ruo up completely.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the house was surrounded by four walls, there was not even a decent stool in the house, and next to it was a row of low black cabinets, where the sisters' messy clothes were placed.
At this time, she suddenly remembered that she was not in modern times, but tragically traveled to ancient times.
used to sleep until she woke up naturally, counting the money and counting the petty bourgeois days with cramps in her hands, and completely left her.
Only then did Yang Ruo remember that he had suddenly traveled to a historical dynasty called Chengguo.
This dynasty is not in the history books of China, but many things make her have a vague sense of familiarity, which seems to have been seen in previous costume dramas. Therefore, this place can be regarded as a parallel world similar to the ancient Chinese dynasties.
There was no Three Kingdoms era here, after the Tang Dynasty, it was Chengguo, and then the Song Dynasty. And this Chengguo has existed for three hundred years, and there have been several famous emperors.
Of course, all this knowledge was seen by Yang Ruo when he opened the geographical map at home. There are few people in the family who know how to read, but in the corner of the low cabinet, such a book can be found, which makes Yang Ruo a little strange. The place where Yang Ruo crossed over is called
The people here attach importance to agriculture and cultural food, but the reality is that there is a lack of material resources.
And the Yang family is the most ordinary peasant family among all living beings.
This is the seventh morning of Yang Ruo's journey from modern times to ancient times, she fell into the river two days ago, and her body was just better yesterday. was ordered by Wang's ear to wake up in such a scolding voice.
"Hey, mother, I know, you tap, my ears are about to be screwed off by you." Yang Ruo's mouth was pleading. escaped from Wang's hands without a trace.
"It's good to know, give me a long memory. I'm as old as you, I'm married to your father, and I serve my parents-in-law for breakfast every morning, and you still lie in bed for me. Wang's face was stiff, his mouth was babbling, but his hand was already down.
Yang Ruo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, put on the only one, the broken flower plate that had been changed several times, and her hands and buttons fought several times before she buttoned the complicated buttons.
The bottom is simple, a pair of black wide-legged pants, and the inside of the pants is bare.
This kind of dress, she would not have worn it in her previous life, but now this dress is her best outfit.
Suddenly, Yang Ruo felt an urgency to urinate, and hurriedly ran towards the thatched house.
Yang Qing, who entered the door, was almost knocked down by her, and couldn't help scolding, "Oh, Ah Ruo, you are going to die!" ”
Yang Ruo naughtily stuck out her tongue at the second sister and ran to the door.
When I got outside, I saw an aunt about forty years old, pushing the door of her yard and walking in by herself.
I saw that she was wearing a rose-red middle coat, with a bibi armor on the outside and a horse skirt underneath. The hair is combed and shiny, and there is a shiny beaded hairpin on the sideburns.
Coming here, Yang Ruo was the first time to see someone dressed so brightly.
However, her stomach hurt so much that the two of them looked at each other and didn't speak.
When Wu entered the door, he happened to see a girl's side face and beautiful silhouette, and said in his heart, this girl is a long water spirit, and her small body is also good-looking.
It's a pity that the kid in her family hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet.
If.....
Seeing that Wang didn't come out, Wu deliberately coughed twice.
When Wang heard the familiar voice, his face couldn't help twitching, but he had to change his smiling face and greet him.
"Yo, it's Aunt Wu, why are you free today?" Wang pretended to be enthusiastic.
That Aunt Wu looked around at this shabby courtyard, and saw a few blackened cakes resting on the stove, exuding a strange smell, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust, and avoided it from a distance.
I just heard her say: "I said the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, you don't know what I'm here for today." It's the beginning of the year, so it's time to fulfill what you said. ”
When Wang Shi heard this, an expression of sudden realization suddenly appeared on her face, and she couldn't help laughing: "Why did this time pass so quickly, I remember to tell you that I will give you money for fifteen." ”
Aunt Wu sneered in her heart, let you play stupid for me. "Yes, you said fifteen, what time is it today?"
Wang thought for a moment and said, "Eighteen! ”
"yes, it's eighteen. I'm still waiting for you to bring me the money, but I don't want to, I can't even see your figure. I also made it clear to you, the principal and interest that I said are six and a half but not a single cent. ”
When Wang heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
At the end of last year, his man Yang Daming broke his leg, and the Yang family asked the Wu family to borrow money, and the loan was three taels of silver at that time. The latter three taels of silver have not been paid off. At the beginning of the month, Yang Ruo fell into the river and almost drowned, and when he asked for a doctor, he asked Wu to borrow two taels of silver.
This adds up to five taels of silver.
Yang Daming's leg just didn't last long, and the time for work was just a month. His salary in the tavern was one tael of silver a month, which was not low, but he was the only laborer in the family, and he had to provide for the food and drink of six people.
Of the four children in the family, the eldest Yang Cui has a bad brain and can only chop wood, and the remaining three will only eat with one mouth.
Where will make what money.
If you can make a little money in normal times, you can subsidize your family. Wang's weaving can make a little money, but a piece of cloth has to be made for at least a month, and it can only be made for 300 yuan a month. Sometimes Yang Cui will sell some firewood, but the money is equal to nothing.
So at this time, the Wu family came to ask for money, but it was the bottom of the kettle and asked for their lives.
"Aunt Wu, what, why are there so many, I remember we asked you to borrow five taels of silver?"
Wu sneered: "Yo, you are really my family, you are the one who opened a charity hall, when you borrowed money, but it was written in black and white, and it was said that it was three points of interest, which is a rolling interest, and now you have to pay back at least six and a half." ”
Wu blackened Wang's face and continued: "My money is the bride price for my son's daughter-in-law, and now that my son is older, I have to help him recruit his daughter-in-law." I will have to take back the bride price. ”
Wang secretly said in his heart that her youngest son was a hemp skin and a lame man, so the ghost would marry his daughter to her.
She's making excuses.
Wang could only reply: "Aunt Wu, you also know the situation of our family, just the child's father earns money alone, but he has six mouths to eat." My man is in good health now, and if he works for another two months, we will have the money to pay you back. And the cloth in my hand can be sold for a little money, and then you can get more interest. ”
"Hmph, don't say it's better than singing, I haven't even seen a penny until now. I know that not all of your men earn one or two a month when they are paid today, so if I don't see the silver today, I won't leave. ”
The Wu family obviously came prepared this time, and she teased these words here, blocking the back road of the Wang family at once.
But after seeing her finish speaking, she found a low stool in the small courtyard and sat down.
Wang was anxious, but he had to show a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, I'm afraid we won't give it." When the child's father's salary is in hand, I will send it to you immediately, how dare you wait here. ”
Wu didn't look at her face at this time, took out some melon seeds from the pocket of his clothes, and slowly swallowed them.
This side of the melon seeds were thrown into his mouth, and that side slipped out along the corners of his mouth, Wang smelled the fragrance of the melon seeds, and his heart was greedy.
saw Wu raise his hand, "Don't, I'm here, waiting for your man to come back." ”
Wang's teeth of secret hatred are itchy, don't say it's six taels and halves at home, even one or two halves of silver can't be taken out.
Of the four children in the family, the youngest Yang Fan is ten years old, and they are all growing up. The children in the family grow up faster, and the amount of food and drink has increased a lot.
Their family's normal expenses are very good, and there is still a balance of silver there.
Two days ago, I went to the house next door, Aunt Li, and borrowed a few eggs, but I haven't returned them yet.
Wang's face was ugly and he didn't move for a long time.
At this time, Wu swallowed melon seeds, lifted his eyelids and looked at Wang, then coughed suddenly, and two sturdy men suddenly walked in at the door.
The two men who came in were both in their thirties and forties, five big and three thick, with dark chest hair on their chests, and they looked like a practitioner.
After they entered the door, they glared at Wang viciously a few times, and the fierce eyes also glanced at her towering breasts.
Wang suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by two poisonous snakes spitting red letters, and his whole body was cold.
Where has Wang seen such a posture, and his heart was pounding in fright, don't look at her usual unforgiving mouth, but her courage is actually very small. "I said auntie, what are you doing here, they are all from the villagers, don't scare me."
Wu sneered: "I also told you clearly, if you can't receive the money today, you can do it yourself!" ”
The two men had expressions on their faces, their eyes not squinting, their hands around their chests, revealing their muscles.
Hearing Wu say this, there was an ordinary sneer in his eyes.
Where did the Wang family dare to say anything else, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll let the child go to his father to see if the salary has been paid?" Wu's face was a little better, "You guys move quickly, I still have money to collect from other families, and I don't have so much spare time, so I am spending it on you." ”
