The Village Doctress Chapter 25: No loan sharks
The attitude of Mr. Lin made Feng feel a little better, so he calmed down, but his eyes were a little dull.
Ms. Zhao has a thick skin, so she doesn't care what the old man says, as long as her goal is achieved.
Mr. Lin has a plan in his mind, the second family pays twenty-four taels of silver a year, and the four members of their family are willing to work, so they can barely do it.
The third family added twelve taels of silver a year, plus the twenty-four taels of the second family, it was thirty-six taels. After ten years and a few months, it was four hundred taels.
Grandpa Lin looked at Second Lin, and said in a deep voice, "Second, do you have any objections? If you have any objections, then there is no need to mention the separation of the family. Your mother and I are both old, and we often have a sick child. , the money you and the third family paid is not much except for our old couple's pension, medical treatment and medicine."
Lin Dahe wanted to cry, but saw his two daughters kept winking at him, so he nodded numbly.
Mr. Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Since the family is separated, naturally you will not be separated if you have nothing. Your mother and I live with your elder brother, so most of the family's fields are left to you. Brother, I will give you the two acres of Susukida on the west side of the river and the three dry land on the east side of the hill.”
Lin Dahe's eyes were full of lifelessness. He had been planing in the soil all year round. Those two fields did not produce grain at all. What is the difference between them and none?
"Hmph, it's a good deal for an unfilial son like him to give him the land!" Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, but the old man already had a charter, so she just let it go.
Anyway, the bosses in those two fields didn't like it either.
"Father, those two fields... my son can't support a family at all, not to mention paying two slings to my father every month." Lin Dahe said with a mournful face.
Lin Fufu looks at Lin's second child...
He had no love in his life, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
Life is made by people, with hands, feet and brains, are you afraid of living a bad life?
Besides, he is still a big man.
"Hehe, what the second child said is ridiculous. You don't know how to borrow money if you can't come up with it?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Lin's second child with a sneer, "A big man crying like this, is he useless or not?"
Lin's second child didn't care about Zhao's abuse and contempt, but just touched his nose and tears and asked, "Sister-in-law, where do you want me to borrow it? Our old Lin family doesn't have many relatives."
"Isn't there a Wang San in the town who specializes in borrowing money to make a living, you went to him to borrow money for a few months, and you came here." At this time, Lin Dashan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
As soon as Lin Fufu heard it, he knew that Wang San was inappropriate. He specialized in borrowing money to make a living, wasn't he just a usury?
Sure enough, Feng Shi exclaimed, and regardless of Lin Dashan's status as an uncle, he pointed at him and cursed: "You are trying to force our family to death, so is Wang San's money so easy to borrow? If you borrow one penny, you have to pay back two pennies in the second month, and if you can’t afford it, you have to pay back six pennies in the third month!"
Lin Fufu lowered his gaze. If you want to talk about usury, the interest rate of three to five cents is too high. Unexpectedly, the money borrowed by Wang San started to repay the loan in the second month, and the interest was rolled over to six in the third month.
This is the calculation of compound interest, which is more blood-sucking than usury.
It is impossible for her to ask Lin Dahe's family to borrow this money.
"Father and mother, please stop arguing. My sister and I will pick up and wash the clothes from rich families, and we will sell them as female celebrities. I don't believe we can earn a couple of dollars!" Ah Fen gritted her teeth and said, "We will never borrow that Wang San's money anyway!"
"Yes! Let's not borrow money from that Wang San, uncle, you are harming us!" Ah Fang also mustered up her courage and glared at Lin Dashan angrily.
Lin Fufu almost applauded the pair of sisters.
That's the kind of ambition you need.
Lin Fufu winked at Grandma Li.
Grandma Li nodded tacitly, then walked out, looked at Mr. Lin and said:
"Brother Lin, since we have agreed to separate the family, you and your father and son should write a deed of separation in my house. Write everything down, and both parties will stamp their fingerprints to save you trouble in the future."
Mr. Lin's face swelled after being told.
"Then what if the second room can't pay the money?" Gululu Zhao rolled her eyes and asked with a villainous face.
Grandma Li's temper is not good either, so she immediately spat at her when she heard the words, "If you can't hand it over, then you can't force their family to death. If you really can't bear it, then just get together again."
Separate and reunite?
Lin Fufu thought that Grandma Li's method was wonderful, and the money she got flew away. It must be Lin Dashan and his wife who would not want to join the family.
Mrs. Zhao was speechless by Grandma Li, and scolded Grandma Li severely in her heart. But on the surface, he dared not offend her.
This old woman is really going to be aggressive, even her mother-in-law is no match, and she doesn't have the guts to provoke her.
She just looked at Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu didn't want to quarrel with Grandma Li. She was afraid that her opponent would lose her, so she kept her mouth shut.
Zhao was disappointed for a while.
Seeing this, Mr. Lin took a deep breath in his heart, looked at Lin Fufu, squinted his old eyes and asked, "Do you know how to write?"
Lin Fufu nodded, reading and writing, the Chu family naturally taught her.
Old Master Lin also nodded, and said in a deep tone, "I say, you write."
Lin Fufu agreed, and went to get a pen and paper from Chu's desk in the north room.
When she finished writing according to what Mr. Lin said, Mr. Lin added another item: "In the future, the monthly pension money given by your two families will be sent over on the 15th of every month."
"That's good, otherwise it would be too difficult to wait on the last day at the end of every month." Wu said with a slap in the face.
"What about this month?" Mrs. Zhao followed up.
Grandpa Lin rolled his eyelids, "It's better to send it at the end of this month, and it will start on the fifteenth day of next month."
Ms. Zhao curled her lips in displeasure.
Several people used cinnabar inkpad to press their fingerprints. Mr. Lin said that Lin Yuan was not there, so he asked Lin Fufu to press their fingerprints instead.
This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Lin finally chose to talk about the separation at Lin Fufu's house.
Lin Fufu still agreed, if there is no accident, Doctor Li can ask his little apprentice to send one hundred taels of silver tomorrow.
She doesn't worry about having no money, but what if she didn't think of this way to make money?
