After being speechless by his son's words, Chu Youqian snorted and quickened his pace.
"Let's find Erya quickly. It's almost noon now. Your mother didn't prepare any dry food for us today. Don't worry, we won't be able to get a bite by then and we'll be hungry in the afternoon."
"Okay, dad." Chu Dashan hurriedly followed.
Lu Dagui saw the figures of Chu Youqian and his son from a distance. He was a little surprised. Why did the father and son come to Banpo Village when they were not at home during the festival?
These two people are not good people. It is true that Mrs. Chu has not been seen returning to her parents' home before. They may not have good intentions when they come here.
"Tiedan, you stay in the house, dad goes out and will be back soon."
After talking to her son, she ran to Lu Xinghe's house. When she saw the courtyard gate of Lu Xinghe's house, she hurriedly shouted: "Lu Xinghe, your father-in-law and uncle have come to Banpo Village."
In the room, after hearing this, Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe looked at each other and left the room together.
"My dad and my eldest brother are here?"
Although they had expected it, Chu Yue was a little surprised that they could come on the day of the Moon Worship Festival. How could anyone come to their married daughter to ask for something during the festival?
She took off the hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeve. The next moment, she saw the figures of Chu Youqian and Chu Dashan appearing at the corner in front.
Seeing Chu Yue's actions just now, Lu Dagui probably understood something in his heart. When Chu Youqian and Chu Dashan came closer, he hurriedly put on a scoundrel look and deliberately said in a loud voice, "Lu Xinghe, you want to build a house at home?" You have borrowed so much money, when are you going to pay it back? Today I am helping the families in the village who borrowed your money to settle their debts. Everyone is having a hard time, so you and your family can't benefit from it, right?"
A slight smile appeared on Chu Yue's lips, and she couldn't help but give Lu Dagui a thumbs up in her heart.
Sure enough, to deal with disaster, we have to deal with the disaster itself.
Chu Youqian and Chu Dashan, who were approaching, heard Lu Dagui's words and felt excited in their hearts. They thought that Lu Xinghe's family built the house because they were lucky, but they didn't expect that it was borrowed money.
According to Lu Dagui, he also borrowed money from many people?
But they were already here, so it was hard to turn around and leave. They still had to eat before talking.
Lu Dagui pretended to have just discovered the two of them and hurriedly greeted them, "Hey! This is my father-in-law and uncle here. Is it possible that Lu Xinghe also borrowed money from you? I tell you, if you borrow money, you have to ask for it early. When we come back, their family will owe so much debt that they may not be able to pay it off in their lifetime."
Lu Dagui's bastard reputation was also well-known far and wide. Chu Youqian believed that he could represent the people in the village to ask Lu Xinghe for money.
"Why did you borrow so much money?"
"Isn't it because of repairing the house?" Lu Dagui mocked with a ruthless face, "If you ask me, what kind of house can be repaired if you don't have money? You can just make do with it. It's a good idea to treat it as if you owe money."
Chu Youqian smiled and said, "That's the truth."
Chu Yue looked a little uninterested in the arrival of Chu Youqian and Chu Dashan.
"Dad and eldest brother are here."
During the festival, someone came to collect debts. They were not very interested, but they could understand it and didn't care.
Chu Dashan's sharp eyes saw the chickens and ducks surrounding the yard at a glance.
"Hey, do you still have so many chickens at home?"
Lu Dagui raised his eyebrows and sneered, "How can they catch these chickens? I owe so much money, I'm afraid they can only use the things at home to pay off the interest first."
He then raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Youqian and Chu Dashan.
"Do my father-in-law and uncle have any money with them? How about lending some to Lu Xinghe to pay off his debt first? Don't worry, although Lu Xinghe is poor, he still has credit. I will be your middle man." He patted him. He promised, then stretched out his little finger and said, "It's just that it will take a little longer to pay back the money."
Chu Youqian and his son looked at each other and took two steps back to draw a line between themselves and Lu Xinghe's family.
"Who in the neighboring villages doesn't know about our family's situation? Where can we borrow money? Don't say it's a joke."
Lu Dagui pretended to sigh, "That's a pity. If we can't borrow the money, your daughter and Lu Xinghe may not have a good time this year, and they may go hungry."
Chu Dashan's face was full of indifference, "If you marry and obey your husband, it's not our responsibility to live a good life, right?"
Lu Dagui raised one corner of his lips and smiled.
"I'm afraid when the time comes, it won't be something you just can't control. You have no idea how high the interest rate on the money Lu Xinghe borrowed is." He said, holding out three fingers towards the two of them in a pretentious manner. , "My father-in-law, you are also a person who has been hanging out in Nanping Town all year round. You should know the methods of those people."
Lu Dagui is a bastard. He doesn't know all these things, but he has heard about them to some extent.
Chu Youqian is also a person who has been active in gambling houses all year round. He is naturally more familiar with interest rates than Lu Dagui. When he saw the few fingers raised by Lu Dagui, he took a breath of cold air in his heart and hurriedly pulled Chu Dashan away. here.
"Lu Xinghe, since my Erya has killed your pig, she is yours and has nothing to do with my Chu family. Don't bring her to Niutou Town in the future. Our two families have nothing to do with each other."
Looking coldly at the Chu family father and son who were leaving, Lu Dagui's face was full of regret. These father and son were so inhumane, and they just betrayed their daughter without talking about it, and they broke off the relationship when they encountered difficulties.
He, a person who has always been heartless, felt a little sympathy for Chu Yue.
She originally thought that Chu Yue would be upset by what her father and brother said, but when she turned to look at her, she saw the little girl giving her a thumbs up.
"Brother Dagui, you are so powerful. You managed to frighten my father and brother so easily."
Lu Dagui scratched his head in embarrassment, "I couldn't stand these two people so I came here to inform you. I didn't expect your father to say such stupid things. You won't blame me, right?"
Chu Yue shook her head hastily, "No, I'm used to it. I have to thank you. Brother Dagui is waiting."
She ran into the kitchen, took a small bowl, grabbed a handful of red dates and a handful of peanuts, turned around and left the kitchen and handed the bowl to Lu Dagui.
"Brother Dagui, take these back and give them to Tiedan."
Lu Dagui was embarrassed to ask for them, but he wanted to take these things back to replenish his son's body. For a moment, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Chu Yue couldn't help but put the bowl into his hand.
"Brother Dagui, just take it and bring me the bowl later."
"Hey, no need for a bowl."
Lu Dagui hurriedly poured the red dates and peanuts into his pocket, returned the bowl to Chu Yue, thanked him, and turned around to leave.
Looking at a few dates and a handful of peanuts in his pocket, he suddenly felt that helping others seemed to be much more satisfying than doing stupid things.
