Although Zhang Wenyuan was a teacher in later generations and did not have much experience in breaking into society, part of the memory of the original owner was still retained. These charlatanisms were often used without thinking.
When he heard that he was going to give out 50 guan to redeem the house deed, Old Man Feng almost fainted on the spot. Apart from the better location, there was really nothing to praise about this yard. It was worth 20 guan at most, yet he actually asked for 50 guan. Shi Guan, isn’t this bullying? But Zhang Wenyuan had the support of the county captain behind him, so even if he was bullied, he had to endure it. When he thought of this, he suddenly felt that the world was difficult and there was no hope in life, so he sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Feng Caifeng, you prodigal bitch, I have told you a long time ago that Brother Wang is naughty by nature. You need to discipline him earlier, otherwise he will be useless in the future. But you just don't listen. You will be sensible if you ask for a mother-in-law. Now it's better. We got such a handsome mother-in-law for him, but he is still a prodigal son, but you are Once you let go, you don’t care about anything anymore, why do you want to keep me in the Yang generation and you suffer? If I had known you were such a bitch, I, Zhou Gui, would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than marry you!"
Seeing that he had the situation under control, Zhang Wenjing asked in a low voice, "Hey, isn't his name Feng Rengui? Why is he Zhou Gui again?"
Zhang Wenyuan has lived in the county for several years and knows his family's situation very well. When he asked him, he automatically ignored his discomfort and explained with a smile, "He is the son-in-law of this family. His original surname was Zhou. He changed it after he married into the family. His last name!"
When she heard that he was a surrogate son-in-law, Zhang Wenjing immediately became emboldened, "Ah, here comes my son-in-law, no wonder I can't discipline my son!"
Zhang Wenyuan smiled faintly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Old Man Feng's daughter-in-law Cuiyun also crying, "Father, mother... are you blind? Why did you marry me to such a prodigal? No more We have a house to live in, what should I and the baby do?"
The beauty is worthy of being a beauty, and when she cries, she is like pear blossoms and rain, especially those two lines of teardrops that sparkle like two pearls, which make Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Wenjing tremble with fear, and curse themselves for being nothing.
"Wow wow wow..."
The two of them were hesitating whether to do something so extreme, when a child's cry suddenly brought them back to reality. It turned out that the child in Cuiyun's arms was infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and started crying too.
Although Zhang Wenjing is a few years older than Zhang Wenyuan, she has not seen many big scenes. She couldn't bear it when she saw the poor people in the room. She quietly said to Zhang Wenyuan, "San'er, it's really hard for this family. Why don't we find another one?"
Zhang Wenyuan did not look at the beautiful young woman with pear blossoms and rain. Instead, he stared at the fake Feng Rengui and snorted, "You know what the hell, the Feng family has made a living by selling tofu for three generations. His family The tofu is so delicious, how can you have no money when your business is so good? Besides, how can you dote on your son so much if you don’t have money?"
In his previous life, he dealt with students' parents and encountered many strange people and things. Feng Rengui's acting skills were simply not good enough.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Wenjing seemed to have discovered something, and said in surprise, "Ah, it turns out that we are doing business. Why does this courtyard smell like brine? Since we are doing business, we must be rich. We can’t let them go!”
Zhang Wenyuan sneered, "Only Aunt Feng in their family has the best craftsmanship, but she died suddenly due to overwork last year, and her craftsmanship was taken to the coffin before she could pass it down. From then on, their tofu will not taste good." , there are fewer people buying it, and I’m afraid it will be closed down soon.”
Zhang Wenjing said worriedly, "Their family has no income, and their son is a prodigal, so aren't we here in vain?"
Zhang Wenyuan sneered and said, "Hmph... A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if their family is not as good as before, their life is much easier than that of ordinary people. Don't worry, they can definitely get a few dozen strings."
Zhang Wenjing felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. When she saw the Feng family crying miserably, she no longer felt any sympathy. Instead, she felt that their crying was very disgusting.
After their voices became quieter, Zhang Wenyuan walked up to Old Man Feng and sneered, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I've been moved by you! We are all from the countryside, and I don't want to do anything. Jue, I’ll cut you five guan, so it’ll be 45 guan. I’ll come back at this time tomorrow, so hurry up and find the money!”
"Forty-five guans? How can I have so many!"
Old man Feng counted on his fingers for a while. By the time he reacted, Zhang Wenyuan had almost reached the courtyard gate. Seeing that the creditor was about to leave, he hurriedly got up from the ground, came behind him in three or two steps, and bowed solemnly. , "Zhang Sanlang, you are a good man. The old man's family is really in trouble and he really can't afford that much money. Can you reduce it some more? I will set up a monument of immortality for you and worship it every day. I will never break my promise!" "
"Hey... stop it, stop it!" Hearing that he was going to erect a monument for himself, Zhang Wenyuan remembered the story in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" where Li Yuan gave Qin Qiong a statue in order to repay his kindness, but as a result, he was always unlucky and even sold his horse. Immediately his legs became weak from fright, and he quickly interrupted him, "No, don't do that, I'm afraid of bad luck! Uncle Feng, don't talk about those useless things. We all live in the same county. Look up." Don’t bow your head, see you, who are you and who is your son? How can I still not know? Stop talking about those useless things and find a way to pay back the money quickly. This money is not for myself. Think about it yourself!"
He deliberately made his words ambiguous, and even dragged Gao County Lieutenant to take the blame. Feng Rengui was indeed fooled, and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Sanlang is right! His aunt left without saying a word, and now no one will It’s time to grind the tofu, and the little old man and his family are sitting there with nothing to gain. It’s really miserable!”
Zhang Wenyuan was still pretending to be pitiful, but he was also a little angry and said, "Hey, hey, stop crying, for the sake of the neighbors, I will cut you five more dollars. This is my bottom line, you If you dare to be disrespectful again, I will definitely go to the county boss tomorrow to file a complaint against you! Don’t think that I have no backing since I don’t work in the county government, huh!”
After saying that, he stamped his feet and walked away proudly.
"Are we going back like this?" Zhang Wenjing asked suspiciously after coming out of the Feng family courtyard, "Don't you have several house deeds? Why don't you go to other houses to check them out?"
Zhang Wenyuan shook his head and said, "The food must be eaten one bite at a time, the things must be done one by one, and the debts must be collected family by family, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk away if they unite to deal with us!"
Although Zhang Wenjing agreed in her heart, she still didn't believe that he would get the debt back so easily. "If he really has no money, do you really want to kick them out?"
"That's natural!" Zhang Wenyuan sneered, "If the first family can't handle it, how can we pay for the subsequent debts?"
Zhang Wenjing felt that she was on his pirate ship, but when she thought about the kickback she received when she helped him build a house a few days ago, she couldn't bear to leave, so she had to take it one step at a time.
After walking for a while, he asked again, "What if they run away?"
Zhang Wenyuan laughed and said, "Then we can take back the yard, and you and your eldest brother will have a place to live in the county!"
Zhang Wenjing was overjoyed. He had always dreamed of having a house in the county, so that he would not have to sleep on a simple wooden bed with his elder brother and endure his teeth grinding and farting. He could also take his wife and children over and let them enjoy the city. people’s lives.
