poor family prodigal

"Too bad to eat!"

After chewing beans and wheat rice, Wang Yuan put down the earthenware bowl, feeling like eating chaff.

Now if anyone tells him that time travel is good, he will be a big mouth when he goes up.

Traveling to the Daye Dynasty, similar to ancient China.

Formerly a small landowner family, when my parents were still alive, I could eat millet porridge in the morning, dried millet rice at noon, and multigrain flour pancakes at night. Meat and eggs could only be eaten once every ten days after returning from school in the county to satisfy my cravings.

Ordinary people have two meals a day of millet porridge and bean and wheat rice. Meat is something they don’t even dare to think about. Only when they have a surplus during the New Year can they have some meat.

White flour and rice were enjoyed by landlords, gentry, and officials.

Thinking of the chicken, fish, meat and eggs dumped on the earth, Wang Yuan wanted to slap himself.

A timid voice said: "Husband, I'm sorry, there is no millet at home. Do you want a scholar who is recovering from illness to eat beans and wheat rice?"

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, and a beautiful girl stood timidly in front of the main room.

She is seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, graceful, with picturesque features, and is [-] meters tall.

Little red coat, green cloth skirt, floral cloth shoes, simple clothes, plain face, but like stepping out of calligraphy and painting, exuding a soft and elegant temperament.

However, Guazi has a pale face, thin yellow hair, and looks malnourished.

This is my predecessor's wife, Li Shihan, the most beautiful woman in Fu County, who was originally not in her turn to marry.

At that time, the Li family was facing a catastrophe and wanted to marry off their daughter to avoid being implicated.

No one in the county dares to marry, only the former one has a tough head.

As a result, on the day of the wedding, news came back that Li's father had turned a corner, and the Li family wanted to regret the marriage on the spot.

However, Li Shihan resolutely refused to obey and decided that couples in need should stay together until the end.

I don’t know whether it was because of the Li family’s regretful marriage or because of a physical problem in my predecessor.

The two have been married for three years, but they have never been married!

Yesterday, my predecessor suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. This morning, Wang Yuan traveled through time to occupy the magpie's nest.

Looking at the girl Qiongbi, Wang Yuan stood up and stretched out his hand.

"what!"

Li Shihan squatted down with her head in her hands and cried: "Husband, don't hit me, the dowry is really sold out!"

Wang Yuan's hands froze in mid-air.

He was inhumane and his physical and mental condition changed drastically.

He no longer studied for imperial examinations, spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and squandered all his family property.

He tortured his beautiful wife in various ways, not only selling out all her dowry, but also forcing her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money for him to squander, which tortured her to tears all day long.

But Li Shihan recognized kindness in times of adversity.

Not only did he not leave, but he dragged his injured and tender body to wait on his predecessor to eat and drink.

"Husband, stop hitting me, I will find a way to get money to buy you wine and meat!"

Li Shihan raised her little face and prayed, and Li Shihan cried so hard that the pear blossoms brought rain.

"I don't drink or eat meat. If you have dust on your nose, let me wipe it for you!"

Helping Li Shihan, who was shivering, Wang Yuan used his sleeve to wipe away the black smoke from the tip of her nose.

Li Shihan was even more frightened!

In the past three years, her husband has been beating and scolding her, and occasionally he talks sweetly, either coaxing her to pawn her dowry, or asking her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money!

If you are so gentle today, I will definitely ask her to get money again!

Wang Yuan apologized softly: "I was wrong before, and I won't hit you again in the future!"

"Woooooo!"

Li Shihan burst into tears: "Husband, how much money have you borrowed from outside? My brother has said that he will not lend me another copper coin when I return to my parents' home in the summer!"

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't borrow money from outside, and I won't let you go back to your parents' house to ask for money!"

Li Shihan was doubtful: "Really?"

Wang Yuan nodded: "Believe me!"

Such a good girl is hard to find on earth.

Why didn’t my predecessor know how to cherish it?

"I, I believe you again!"

Li Shihan's voice was timid.

Every time you believe your husband's sweet words, you will be hurt more later.

Hope this time is an exception!

Bang!

The wooden door was pushed open violently.

A middle-aged man with a high black hat, black satin clothes, a red belt around his waist, and cloth boots came in.

He looked at Li Shihan with bright eyes, then glanced at the bean-wheat rice in the earthenware bowl, and gritted his yellow teeth: "Hey, Mr. Wang, I'm tired of eating millet pancakes, so I'm eating bean-wheat rice to change the taste. Yes, three times a day. After a meal of dry millet, even pooping is still dry, which is very laborious.”

There was also Versailles in ancient times, and you could show off even if you were eating dried millet rice!

The middle-aged man felt familiar, but Wang Yuan couldn't remember his previous relationship with him!

"Liu Chang, if you want to show off that your family has money, go back to Xiaoliuzhuang. Don't show it off in our Dawangzhuang!"

Liu Shihan's pretty face was filled with anger, and she stood in front of Wang Yuan, as if she wanted to protect him.

"Liu Lizhang!"

Wang Yuan remembered.

Liu Youcai was a house clerk in the county, the head of Beiping Township, and the landlord of Xiaoliuzhuang nearby.

Responsible for collecting Beiping Township capita tax, land tax, miscellaneous taxes, and part-time loan sharking.

If a family member is sick or the fields fail to pay taxes, he will come to lend money.

In this way, you can annex three hundred acres of land and become a small landowner.

"Your home? This is my master's home. Even you, this little beauty, will soon become my master's. Keep your eyes open to see clearly!"

Liu Youcai took out an IOU from his sleeve and spread it out proudly.

"Wang Yuan, a boy born in Xiaowang Village, borrowed [-] guan of silver from Liu Youcai of Daliuzhuang. He will repay the principal of [-] guan in one month, using his ancestral home, ten acres of farmland at the east end of the village, and his wife Li Shihan as collateral..."

Looking at the signature handprints, some memories emerged, and Wang Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred.

My predecessor was drunk once, and was dragged into gambling by Liu Youcai in the county town. After losing money, he borrowed money and wrote an IOU.

As soon as he expressed his stance to Li Shihan, his predecessor Zuoyao became furious.

People's livelihood in Chengzhou was in decline, and a strong laborer could only earn thirty or forty cash a day.

A thousand guan is enough money, and [-] guan does not include interest, and a strong laborer has to work for three years, not counting food, drink, exorbitant taxes and corvee service.

Such a large amount of money gave him a headache even with a doctorate in mechanics and materials science!

Liu Youcai narrowed his eyes at Li Shihan: "Little beauty, you have become my housekeeper, and I will ensure that you live well and drink hot food, and no longer have to suffer with this prodigal son!"

pat!

pat!

Li Shihan turned around and looked at Wang Yuan, tears flowing down Guazi's face and smashed on the floor tiles.

Sure enough, I mistrusted my husband again!

Her husband can abuse her however he wants, but he actually uses her as a mortgage on his property!

At this moment, her heart was cut by a knife!

Not knowing how to comfort him, Wang Yuan frowned as he watched Liu Youcai showing off his power and power: "Take the IOU and get out!"

"Asshole, you want to default on your debt?"

Liu Youcai waved the IOU and jumped: "Believe it or not, I will go back to Xiaoliuzhuang and ask two hundred people to beat you to death. The county master will also award me the house, the land, and your wife. If you still have the IOU, you still dare to default on your debt. Tired of it!"

Pulling Wang Yuan's sleeve, Li Shihan wiped away tears: "Husband, I can't default on my debt. I will go back to my parents' house to borrow money!"

If you default on your debt and go to the county government office to fight first, your husband will never be able to bear it!

"...Shihan, you don't have to go back to your parents' house to borrow money, I can solve this problem!"

Wang Yuan was startled.

Unexpectedly, Li Shihan was still willing to help her predecessor fill the hole after being mortgaged.

Liu Youcai looked at Wang Yuan with disdain: "You are a prodigal son, why should you deal with it! If I don't see Forty Guan today, I won't leave."

Wang Yuan pointed to the date of the IOU: "Watch your dog eyes and see clearly. Has it been one month?"

Liu Youcai choked. Hearing that Wang Yuan was seriously ill, he came to collect the debt. He even forgot about it during the quarrel. He still had three days to pay the debt. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that you, a prodigal, can get forty coins in three days." ?”
