When Su Yu returned to the village, it was almost noon.
From the moment he entered the village and walked all the way home, every villager he met would look at him with admiration.
At the same time, what was being discussed was the matter that Gu Changle took the villagers to Songjia Village to collect debts this morning.
Is this done?
Su Yu thought like this and wanted to hurry back home.
A group of aunties who were talking enthusiastically stopped Su Yu.
Seeing Su Yu carrying a bookcase on his back and holding meat and vegetables bought from the market in the town, an aunt said happily: "Su Yu, your wife will take someone to Songjia Village to pick you up today." I have received back all the gifts my family gave me over the years.”
Su Yu nodded: "I know this."
"Auntie also followed?"
Another aunt chimed in: "We all followed."
"You don't know how awesome your wife is."
"I thought it would take some arguing to get this done, but I didn't expect that she would just stand in front of Song Laogen's family and say a few words about the law tenderly."
"Then Song Laogen was so frightened that he quickly agreed to return those things."
"And she also made a list, and arranged all the things and money on the spot, so that nothing was left behind."
Aunts, you and I talked to Su Yu word by word.
I have been talking about what happened this morning.
Compared to those of them who usually yelled at each other with their arms folded and their faces flushed, couldn't Gu Changle's behavior be considered gentle?
It turns out that Gu Changle settled the matter so smoothly.
Listening to the admiration for Gu Changle expressed in these aunts' words, Su Yu also had a smile on his face.
"Yesterday, my wife spent most of the day in the village making the list."
"She really takes things seriously."
Su Yu followed the words of his aunts and sincerely praised Gu Changle.
He had just finished school, he was hungry, and he was still carrying so many things in his hands.
He didn't chat much with the aunts, and quickly left and went home.
After Su Yu left, others were still discussing Gu Changle's heroic appearance animatedly.
What Gu Changle did this morning was really an eye-opener for them.
It turns out that debt collection can still be done this way.
But they can't learn these things. After all, there are few people in the village who can read and write.
Not to mention being so familiar with the laws of the government.
An aunt sighed: "Su Yu's wife is really powerful. I don't know if Yu Zai will be beaten to death by her in the future."
Most people really can't control such a strong girl.
Some people disagree with her statement.
"He and his wife are the only two people in Su Yu's family. It would be best for his wife to be stronger, so that no one will dare to bully them in the future."
This is true...
...
Su Yu listened to the discussion in the village and returned home.
Gu Changle saw him pushing the door open and looking at him with bright eyes.
"came back?"
She proudly showed Su Yu what she wanted back.
"They have almost used all the things you have sent over the years."
"So most of them are settled in silver."
"Well, they're all here."
As she spoke, she also specifically pointed out the number of copper coins.
"The copper coins they gave me were not of good quality, so I asked for a dozen more."
Su Yu had basically heard all about it on the way back.
Because she was planning to marry a baby, the things his family had given her since she was a child actually amounted to more than twenty taels of silver.
No wonder Song Laogen has been so stubborn and unwilling to take the initiative to break off the engagement and return these gifts.
Although the conditions of Song Laogen's family are not bad in the village, the money is definitely not small.
Even scraping a layer of skin is considered small.
Su Yu estimated that Gu Changle had almost plowed his house.
Gu Changle raised his face, obviously waiting for praise.
Su Yu gave a thumbs up in cooperation and praised fiercely: "As expected of my wife, she is so amazing!"
"I also heard about it on the way. You solved the matter in just a few words. Everyone in the village is praising you for your greatness."
Gu Changle was very impressed by Su Yu's praise.
She had done something for this family and for Su Yu, so of course she had to get a response.
Seeing that Su Yu's praise was so sincere, she was in a good mood.
"In this case, our family will not be short of money."
Su Yu earned ten taels, and Gu Changle's private money that he showed on his face was also ten taels.
Plus these twenty more taels.
In just a few days since the two got married, the family's savings have reached more than forty taels!
The cost of taking the provincial examination later will be enough to save money.
Su Yu thought for a while and discussed with Gu Changle: "These silvers are not actually ours."
"How about we return part of this money to my uncle and brother-in-law's family?"
"Ten taels per family."
The original owner was able to study for so many years thanks to the help of two families.
A lot of money was given and a lot of efforts were made.
His family's fields are taken care of by relatives from two families in turn.
So it's hard for Su Yu to say that this money is his own.
It is better to return part of it to both families first, and then we can use it later.
If you borrow something and repay it, the favor will last forever.
If you always ask for it unilaterally, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be worn away.
I don't know if Gu Changle is willing.
Of course Gu Changle didn't care.
These are small amounts of money, whether you have them or not is the same.
"Okay, you are the head of the family, it's up to you to decide."
After discussing it, the two decided to eat first.
After finishing the meal, Su Yu took the money back to the two families.
…
After meal.
Su Yu took the money and went out.
Went to my uncle’s house first.
The sun was very strong at this time, and everyone was enjoying the cool air under the eaves.
Su Yongchang's family is basically there.
Seeing Su Yu coming to the door, Su Yongchang quickly asked him to come in and sit down.
"Why did you come here when it's so hot?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "I have something to do."
After Wu gave Su Yu some water, she also sat down next to Su Yongchang.
Compared to the excitement of the women in the village talking about Gu Changle's affairs today, Wu looked at Su Yu with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Uncle, today my wife went to Songjia Village to get back more than twenty taels."
"We decided to pay back ten taels to each of you and my uncle's family."
Su Yu took out the money and put it on the table.
"Give us back the ten taels?"
Su Yongchang looked at the silver Su Yu took out and waved his hand to refuse.
"Keep this money for yourself first. Our family is not short of money to spend."
"It won't be long before you take the hospital exam, and it will cost you a lot of money."
"Besides, when you come back from the hospital exam, you have to hold a banquet and spend money everywhere."
Su Yongchang refused to accept it and asked Su Yu to take it back.
Su Yu said, "I'll tell you if I don't have enough money after I go to Fucheng to take the college exam."
"I still have enough money now."
Su Yongchang said: "If you have enough, take it back and put it away first. Your wife can read and write, so you can rest assured that the money will be taken care of by her."
"Take it back..."
Seeing that Su Yongchang refused to accept it, Wu on the side was a little anxious.
She directly stretched out her hand and took the silver from the table.
These actions made Su Yongchang frown and look at her in confusion.
Wu sneered and said, "Since Yuzi is back here, let's keep it for now."
"It won't be too late to give it to him after he comes back from the hospital."
