Yu Chengyuan glanced at Wang Shi, who was glaring at him, and thought to himself, "Go ahead and glare at me!"
You can stare all you want, but you can only stare helplessly.
Yu Erzhu stood aside, expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Second Aunt Yang Juhua looked at the things that the eldest son's family had received with some heartache.
Yu Sanzhu and his wife looked over there with pained expressions, as if their flesh had been cut off, and they had an expression of anger that they dared not speak out.
The parents looked at the things they had been given and beamed with joy, as if they could see a bright future ahead.
The division of the family property will be completed soon, and the eldest branch of the family will finally be free from oppression and can hold their heads high.
He can visit his wife and daughter anytime now.
“Cheng Yuan…you can continue.”
Seeing that Yu Chengyuan seemed lost in thought, Zhou Jianguo offered a reminder.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I'll continue now."
Yu Chengyuan pulled himself back to his senses and continued, "When we divided the cattle, you owed me 166 yuan. When we divided the pigs, I owed you 126 yuan. So, you still owe me 40 yuan. I'm not mistaken, am I?"
"Regarding the second pillar and the third pillar, I haven't miscalculated, have I?"
Before the second and third wives could respond, the villagers were quick to respond, shouting in unison, "The calculation was correct!"
Yu Sanzhu was too lazy to say anything. He looked at the villagers with resentment and thought to himself: These villagers are really meddling in other people's business.
It's not like they're splitting up the family, so what business is it of theirs?
They were even more proactive than the others.
Yu Erzhu nodded, "Cheng Yuan's calculations are correct!"
He then received a glare from his wife, Yang Juhua.
He then lowered his head resentfully and stopped speaking.
"Those two geese, each weighs about seven or eight pounds, so the two of them weigh more than ten pounds. Let's say each one costs five yuan, or ten yuan for both."
It's three yuan and thirty cents a family, so give me one of each!
I'll give you a four-yuan discount, isn't that enough?
"The 40 yuan you owed me before, minus 4 yuan, leaves me with 36 yuan."
In those days, pork was rarer and more expensive than goose, so people preferred to eat pork.
Therefore, pork is more expensive than goose meat.
This time, he didn't even need to call out; his mother quickly picked out a big goose.
Li Hehua also wanted to snatch it, but she was a step too late.
She wasn't as agile as Pan Cuilian and did less work on a daily basis.
I could only watch helplessly as my sister-in-law picked out the big goose and took it away.
"We'll start calculating the debt now; the debt was calculated beforehand."
The two of you will have to pay a total of 466 yuan, plus the 36 yuan you just owed me, that makes 502 yuan.
I'll round it down for the sake of our family; just give me 500 yuan.
Now, how will you repay me?
Should we use that cow, those two pigs, or just give cash directly?
Or there's something else you can use to offset it.
I can sell it to get money to pay off my hospital bills.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if people came to our home.
"They might not calculate it that way then, and we might not even be able to keep our cows and pigs."
They have no knowledge of the law, and the village chief has already proven that the IOU is genuine.
They wouldn't doubt it, and they certainly wouldn't doubt the money the coal miners pooled together to treat the brother's leg, since both witnesses were there!
"We're still short five hundred yuan!"
Damn it, you little brat, you might as well take this old woman and sell her to pay off your debts!
I'm going to be driven crazy by you sooner or later!
When Wang heard that she had to pay five hundred, the sky seemed to fall!
"hehe!
I wouldn't dare sell you; that's illegal.
Besides, don't you even consider what value you have?
Is she young or beautiful? Is she capable of working or what?
City people wouldn't even consider hiring a nanny like you, a useless and unattractive old woman!
Young men wouldn't be interested in someone like you when looking for a wife; they don't need a grandmother.
If you give something like that as a gift, the recipient will probably find it objectionable.
Yu Chengyuan's few words made everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha………"
"Hahaha………"
Yu Sanzhu quickly pulled his mother up; he also felt that Wang Shi was too shameful.
"Chengyuan, didn't you just say that we could pay off the debt with something?"
Your grandma was just joking, don't take it seriously.
Let's split up quickly!
This nephew is a little devil! We need to separate the family as soon as possible!
“The water buffalo at home is worth exactly five hundred yuan, so why don’t you give me that buffalo as collateral?”
Yu Chengyuan said that on purpose.
Because what farmers care about most is grain and oxen.
"No, third brother, the cow absolutely cannot be given to the eldest son's family."
Before Yu Sanzhu could speak, Wang interrupted him.
“Chengyuan, your grandma is right. No matter what, we can’t use a cow to pay off a debt!”
Tell me about the others.
Although Yu Sanzhu was usually lazy and cunning, he knew the importance of oxen to farmers.
So I share the same thoughts as my mother.
"Yes, yes, nephew Chengyuan, take a look at the others."
Li Hehua quickly echoed this sentiment.
Without oxen, how can we plow the fields?
"Chengyuan, your third brother and sister-in-law are right, let's forget about the oxen!"
"We, with our two and three bedrooms, really can't live without it."
Second sister-in-law Yang Juhua also spoke up.
Without the oxen, they would be worked to death.
“That’s fine too. Since you’re all reluctant to part with that cow, then give us another hundred catties of grain and a pig.”
According to the previous calculation, a pig would cost less than 200 yuan, let's say 200 yuan.
