Rebirth 1983: Back to the day when his wife and daughter died

Thinking of this, Ma Changgui felt as happy as if he had drank a little wine. Although an egg is not worth much, mosquitoes are still meat when they are small.

Not to mention that he heard that the two old hens were very good at giving birth and he would often see Xu Qin taking eggs to sell on the street in exchange for things.

Ma Changgui knew that Ma Youde's family had no money at all, so they could only spend one or two yuan, which was already pretty good.

And they owe themselves a full six dollars and thirty-two cents, and they still have to pay back eight dollars at the end of the year. Don't look at the six dollars and thirty-two cents, which is not a small amount.

As the son of the village chief, Ma Changgui naturally knows the importance of this money. The main income of the villagers in Majia Village comes from growing grain.

Ma Youde's family, especially Mr. Tian, ​​although the family often helps people, their income in a year is only sixty or seventy yuan at most. After excluding firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., there is not much money left.

Of course, this is the same in most Majia Villages. It is possible to rely on growing food to provide food and clothing, but it is impossible to live a better life.

The only solution is to save a little bit of money to buy chickens, pigs, and cows, so no one has much spare money.

Basically, if there is one person who can take out one hundred yuan from home, then the entire village is considered rich.

If you have one thousand yuan, you will be ranked among the best in the entire township.

If you can spend 10,000 yuan, you will become a famous household with 10,000 yuan in the county.

You know, if you look at the entire county with a household worth ten thousand yuan, there are not many people in it.

Like their family, the old man only saved a few hundred yuan after being the village chief for so many years.

A few years ago, I spent a lot of money to buy a cow, but now I can't even get 100 yuan, so the brothers have to live frugally.

Therefore, the clever Ma Changgui naturally figured out that Xu Qin wanted to pay back the rice after selling it.

Therefore, he decided to strike first and get more money. As long as he didn't have the money when he wanted it, he would definitely have to pay interest when he wanted to pay it back in a few days.

"Chang Gui, how about I give you a piece first, and you give me a few more days to raise money for the rest." Xu Qin was a little embarrassed. Who would be willing to mortgage an old hen that lays eggs to others, but now the family really doesn't have enough money.

"What can you do with one dollar? I'm just waiting for the money." Ma Changgui refused without any doubt.

"Ma Changgui, my sister-in-law Xu Qin's family is in trouble. I think you will give her two days of grace."

Ma Changgui demanded payment with such ferocity that he had already attracted villagers passing by.

At this time, some kind-hearted villagers couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly said some kind words to help.

"Liu Changfa, I remember you borrowed five yuan from me this year to catch piglets. Do you want to pay it back now?"

When Ma Changgui saw that the person who helped him was Liu Changfa, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Isn't this just a pig I'll give to you after I kill it?" Liu Changfa grunted, but he didn't dare to say anything more, except that when he had saved money before, five yuan was really nothing to him.

But now all the money saved at home is used to buy piglets, and he really can't afford it.

Of course, he would have to raise the pigs for another year and fatten them up, so he could sell them for more than a hundred yuan. He didn't want to offend Ma Changgui.

"Since you don't want to give it, I'll do it myself." Seeing that more and more people were crowding around, and Xu Qin was so ignorant, Ma Changgui couldn't wait any longer.

Ignoring Xu Qin who was blocking the courtyard door, she tried to break in. Xu Qin was almost knocked down.

"Stop!!" At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, causing Ma Changgui to freeze on the spot.

Xu Yang walked out of the room at this time. Originally, he was still thinking about why his sister and brother-in-law hadn't come yet.

Just when he wanted to come out and take a look, Xu Yang suddenly became angry when he saw this scene.

"Sister, what's going on??" Xu Yang stepped forward and asked with concern.

"No...it's nothing. Don't worry about it. You go back to the house first." Xu Qin said quickly.

"Young, isn't this Xu Qin's good-for-nothing brother? Who do I think he is? I almost got scared."

Ma Changgui also recognized Xu Yang coming out of the yard at this time and immediately showed a disdainful look.

Xu Yang was a second-rate guy. Sometimes when Xu Yang came to ask Xu Qin for money, he would stop and watch the excitement.

"I'm telling you, your sister's family owes me money. The real thing is to either pay back the money or bring the chicken." Ma Changgui said vowing not to give up.

"Xu Yang, this matter has nothing to do with you. You go into the house first and don't scare the child when he falls down. If Ma Changgui wants a chicken, I'll give it to him." Xu Qin gritted her teeth and finally said.

"Isn't this enough? It would have been better if it had been this way earlier. I wasted so much time on my words. Let me remind you that after today's payment, the interest will still be paid." Ma Changgui said with a proud look on his face.

"Sister, leave this matter to me," Xu Yang said slowly.

"Xu Yang~"

Seeing what Xu Qin was going to say, Xu Yang quickly interrupted. He knew that Xu Qin was concerned about him, and Xu Yang also knew that he couldn't explain clearly.

But from Ma Changgui's mouth, I roughly know the reason, isn't it because he owes money?

Although Majia Village as a whole is richer than Kaoshan Village, how much can he owe these days? He has more than a hundred yuan, which is enough, but he doesn't want to simply pay back the money.

"I paid back the money my sister owed her." Xu Yang said slowly.

"Xu Yang, what are you talking about??" Xu Qin was anxious at the side. That was not a small amount, there were several yuan. How could Xu Yang have so much money.

Ma Changgui on the side couldn't help but laugh. He usually would make a fuss for a long time just for a few cents, but he actually said that he wanted to pay back the money for his sister. Isn't this a fool's errand, or is he stupid?

Although many of the onlookers didn't like Ma Changgui, they also hated second-rate men like Xu Yang.

Seeing him bragging in broad daylight was a total embarrassment to his sister Xu Qin.

"Boy, you probably don't know how much your sister owes me! How dare you say such big words." Ma Changgui said with a smile on his face.

"How much??" Xu Yang said calmly.

"I'll scare you to death if I tell you, six dollars and thirty-two cents, for a second-rate guy like you who doesn't work,

People who come here to ask for even a dime must have never seen so much money!" Ma Changgui mocked disdainfully.

"Ma Changgui, you are talking nonsense." Seeing Ma Changgui insulting Xu Yang like this in front of her, Xu Qin could not bear it.

"Six yuan and three cents?" Although Xu Yang guessed that he owed not much, he did not expect that he owed so little.

But looking at Xu Qin's attitude of trying to fight Ma Changgui in front of him, he said directly: "Isn't it just six yuan and three-two? I'll pay it back."

"What did Xu Yang just say? Didn't he say it was only six dollars and three cents? This kid is so good at pretending."

"Who says it's not the case? If Xu Yang's family hadn't been a drag, maybe his sister wouldn't have had to ask Ma Changgui to borrow the money."

"If he could come up with this money, I would eat shit on the street. That would be ridiculous."

"You eat and I eat too."

"..."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, the villagers gathered in front of Xu Qin's house started talking. Apparently they all thought Xu Yang was bragging.
