Chu Fang cried indifferently. Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Yi beside him in confusion. Ma Wu and Liu Sheng, who are these?
Something happened during their fight. Why did Chu Fang ask Chu Yi and himself to save her as soon as she entered the house?
Chu Yi leaned back, walked around Chu Li and leaned into Shen Luzhu's ear to explain softly: "Ma Wu is my cousin's husband."
Shen Luzhu nodded clearly. Since the family division, Chu Fang could count on ten fingers the number of times he has returned to his old house. After the last time he tried to pry Zhao Cheng into making paper money and failed, there were even fewer who came back. Needless to say, when Chu Fang came to the old house, she had a straight face, as if she owed her money, and Shen Luzhu also treated her as nothing!
On weekdays, no one at home mentioned Chu Fang's affairs, so it was no wonder that Shen Luzhu didn't know about it.
"Is that cousin asking us to borrow money?" She yelled for help as soon as she entered the door. Now she said that the Liu family wanted money, and that most of them were borrowing money from them.
Chu Yi glanced at Chu Fang thoughtfully. She was in an emergency and needed money, but she didn't go to her parents. Why did she come here to beg her and her wife? But the elders in the family were all here, so it was hard to say too much. I can only remind you softly: "Don't worry, wait and see."
As usual, if something happens to their cousin's family and they need money urgently, they should be obliged to help. However, Shen Luzhu's impression of Chu Fang is really very bad, and he feels that they should not come forward first and wait and see. It’s better to wait and see.
The young couple here are biting their ears, and the Chu family's grandpa and grandma are still asking Chu Fang. She can't explain clearly. After entering the house for a long time, everyone still only knows that her man Ma Wu broke someone. Now I'm stuck at home asking for money, but I still don't know anything else.
"Woooooooo..."
Chu Fang cried so hard that she couldn't even say a complete sentence. Grandma Chu was upset by her crying: "Cry, cry, cry, it's time, what's the use of just crying? Don't cry yet. Well, why did your Ma Wu Ze beat up the people from the neighboring village? You should be able to explain it more clearly to what extent they were beaten!"
Chu Fang finally calmed down, but she didn't pay attention to Grandma Chu's question at all. Instead, she cried to the young couple who were still hiding behind Chu Li and whispering: "Cousins, you must help me. Ah! If you don't help me, our family will have no way to survive, so we might as well throw ourselves into the river together!"
Shen Luzhu was stunned for a moment, threw himself into the river? Chu Fang was in a hurry to borrow money, so she just said she wanted to borrow money. It didn't matter if she didn't understand what she said. Why did she resort to moral kidnapping?
Giving Shen Luzhu a calm look, Chu Yi sat upright again and did not answer, but calmly reminded: "Cousin, grandpa and grandma are still waiting for your reply."
"Ayi, cousin, I really have no choice. You can't just ignore death. I am you..."
Shen Luzhu stood up and took two steps forward, put his hands on Chu Fang's shoulders, and turned her around to face the grandpa and grandma in the main seat, interrupting Chu Fang's continued entanglement with Chu Yi.
"That's right. My cousin has confused everyone in the family! If my cousin doesn't explain things clearly, how can my grandpa and grandma find a way to help you? I think my cousin should not be impatient and talk to me. It’s up to me to tell you the whole story clearly!”
Chu Fang was shocked to realize that Grandma Chu was sitting behind the table with her half-eaten meal lying there. The boss was looking at her with a sullen face at this moment, and then he started to speak stumblingly.
Chu Fang and her husband Ma Wu like to drink a lot of wine on weekdays. It's better when the farming is busy. When the farming is slack, they stay away from home all day. They always get together in groups with idle people. It's not like drinking in this place today. , it’s the place where we will drink tomorrow. After being married for many years, Chu Fang is no longer surprised.
It was probably the same as the previous five or six days. Ma Wushang took a nap and went out again. The sky was as dark as splashed ink, and no one was seen. Chu Fang was a little worried and walked along the village road in front of her house. Go out and look for him.
When she walked to the firewood pile of a nearby house, she vaguely saw something moving. Chu Fang took a few steps forward bravely, intending to go up and have a look. It didn't matter if she took a look, the firewood pile There was someone lying next to him, it was Ma Wu who she had gone out to find!
Chu Fang was so angry when she saw Ma Wu drinking unconsciously again!
She shouted twice but didn't see Ma Wu respond. He stepped forward and kicked her twice, but there was still no response except for the grunting. Then he resignedly picked her up from the ground and dragged her home step by step.
After finally getting back to the house, Chu Fang discovered that Ma Wu still had injuries on his face. Chu Fang was not sure whether it was Ma Wu who fell asleep on the road before or whether it was caused by two wounds when she dragged him back. I did it accidentally when I didn't hold it steady.
Seeing that Ma Wu was still sleeping like a dead pig and snoring like thunder, Chu Fang guessed that it was nothing serious, so she planned to wait until the others fell asleep tomorrow before asking.
I thought that since Ma Wu was drunk like this, he would not know where the injuries on his face came from, but unexpectedly, as soon as she asked, Ma Wu started yelling and scolding her!
"Damn it, you're not that beast like Liu Sheng. Don't let me meet him again next time. Otherwise, I'll beat him once!"
Only then did Chu Fang know that it turned out that Ma Wu and Liu Sheng, who were drunkards, got together to drink heavily yesterday afternoon. As soon as they had a few sips of wine, the men started talking nonsense and bragging!
They are usually easygoing people, and with the blessing of alcohol, they seem to have forgotten their last names as they talk, especially Ma Wu and Liu Sheng. They used to have a good relationship and often get together to drink. , I don’t know what happened that day, but they started arguing when they disagreed, and then the situation got worse and worse, and it turned into a full-on martial arts show.
Fortunately, the other people who were drinking together held on tightly to separate the two. Neither party wanted to let the other go. It was only after Liu Sheng slammed the door and walked out that the others started drinking again.
Maybe it was because he drank the wine in anger, maybe because Liu Sheng left, Ma Wu felt that he was the victor and wanted to celebrate, so he drank a little harder, and then Chu Fang dragged him home.
"I thought it was just a few pushes between the two people, and my Ma Wu was also injured, so I didn't care. But today, suddenly a group of people came to the house! They even carried Liu Sheng, saying that he was beaten by Ma Wu. Half of his life was gone, and a group of people were stuck in the yard. We must be held responsible, and we must pay for Liu Sheng's treatment, otherwise Ma Wu will have to pay for it with his life! I told him to drink less, but he didn't. Listen, now it’s better, if you drink it and kill someone, where will we get the money!”
After hearing this, Shen Luzhu was speechless about Ma Wu's behavior. He also felt that something was wrong with this matter. It was obvious that Liu Sheng left by himself after the fight between the two. If he could leave by himself, it meant that it was nothing serious. Is it in the way? Why, five or six days had passed before he suddenly said that he had lost half his life after being beaten. If he was really beaten, what had the Liu family been doing in the past few days? Why did they think of coming to settle the score with Ma Wu?
Just when Shen Luzhu wanted to remind Chu Fang whether there might be some hidden secret here and don't let the Liu family fool her, Grandma Chu sighed: "What is this all about? Then you How did you get out, where are the Liu family?"
"My mother-in-law brought four taels of silver to the Liu family. The Liu family said that it was not enough to treat Liu Sheng. She forced us to sign and take our fingerprints, promising that we would be responsible for Liu Sheng's affairs to the end. She also said that Liu Sheng Now I have to hang it up with ginseng soup, and I have to pay ten taels of medicine to the doctor today, and they will pick up the remaining six taels in the evening. I hurried back as soon as they left!"
Chu Fang wiped away her tears again as she spoke: "We are all a family, you can't just die without saving us, you can't just watch our family go to a dead end!"
This Chu Fang is really addicted to moral kidnapping!
She drowned herself in the river and her whole family was in danger. Those who didn't know it thought she was threatening everyone!
"Grandpa and grandma, please help your granddaughter think of a way and give me some. We really don't have a penny at home. I know you must have some. And Chu Yi, you two are doing business. This little money is very useful to you." It’s nothing to say!”
Grandma Chu glanced at Grandpa Chu, and when she saw that her husband had no intention of saying anything, she knew that he had the same intention as her, and she said with a sad face: "How can your grandpa and I still have any money? He is no longer useful as he is old, and all his daily expenses are based on his old capital. Besides, Chu Ren still needs our help from time to time to study. This is a matter for them, Lao Ma’s family, so you still have to look to their Lao Ma’s family for help. Just find a way to do it.”
When Chu Fang heard this, anger suddenly surged in her eyes: "Chu Ren! Chu Ren! My father, mother, and you, all of you are the same. You know Chu Ren. Chu Ren is a child of the Chu family, but I am not. Yet?"
It turned out that before Chu Fang came to the old house, she had already visited Uncle Chu's house. Uncle Chu and Mrs. Wang had just pooled together a sum of money to send Chu Ren to study in the town again. Where could they find the remaining money for Chu Fang to fill the Liu family's house? This bottomless pit!
After hearing what Chu Fang said, Mrs. Wang said at that time: "Are you stupid? You dare to sign this kind of thing! If Liu Sheng is not good all the time, do you really want to keep him? Then the Liu family is obviously The lion opened his mouth and said, "I have never heard of anyone who takes a decoction that is so expensive! Don't say that your father and I don't have money now. Even if we have money, we have to keep the money for Aren's schooling. How can we Go fill this big hole for you in the Liu family!"
Chu Fang failed to get money from her parents, so she ran back to her old house, thinking that her family had been in the coffin business for a long time, and she must have saved a lot of money over the years.
Chu Yi and the others are also doing business. The life here in the old house is better than most in the village. This little money is nothing to them!
Who would have thought that Chu Ren is the only one in their eyes!
Seeing that her grandfather and grandma had no hope, Chu Fang regarded Chu Yi and his wife as the last straw. She got up from the chair, stepped forward, grabbed Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu, and cried: "I know You have money, and this little money is nothing to you. The business of your shop is so prosperous, and you can earn it back in just a few seconds, so please help me! Otherwise, our family will really be doomed!"
Uncle Chu looked at his parents who were sitting there silently, and then thought of the usual attitude of his eldest brother and sister-in-law. He sighed. How could his parents not care about him and went to ask for money from his cousin who had split up the family? Yes, Chu Yi and his wife didn't owe her anything, so they stood up on crutches: "Chu Fang, don't pester A Yi and the others. Third uncle still has some here. I'll get some for you. If it's not enough, you can give it to me." Let’s go back and think of a solution.”
Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu never agreed. They really didn't want to give it to Chu Fang. First, they really didn't have a good impression of her, and they didn't get along well with her before.
What's more, from the moment she entered the house, Chu Fang had been asking everyone to help her and make money for her. She was not even willing to say a word about borrowing money. She never thought about paying it back, and she didn't owe her anything.
Second, Shen Luzhu always felt that something was wrong with this matter. Chu Fang might have been deceived by the Liu family. She knew that the other side was a trap and rushed to give her money. Shen Luzhu couldn't do it.
But thinking about Chu Fang now, she can't even count on her parents, this is really a dead end!
But now the third uncle actually said that he would give money to Chu Fang to help them out. How could they feel complacent about this!
"Third uncle!"
