After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Xi Laocai nodded and returned the greeting: "Yeah, okay, okay."

"Oh, he is a young man from the city after all, he is quite polite!"

"Please take a seat, Prince Wang!"

Then he looked at the village chief and said with a smile, "Village chief, please take a seat too. How did I alarm you?"

"Prince Wang invited me here. He said he wanted to talk to you about something today and asked me to be a witness." The village chief smiled and sat down.

After hearing this, Xi Laocai looked at Wang Yugui and smiled with a fake smile: "Oh, what do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Wang?"

"Master Xi, it's not a big deal. Didn't Hua Da borrow one tael of silver from you last year?"

"It's due today, I brought him here to pay you back the money." Wang Yugui didn't bother to talk too much and went straight to the point.

Then he said to Hua Dadao: "Uncle Hua, why don't you pay back the money you borrowed from Master Xi?"

"Okay," Hua Da agreed, and hurriedly took out the two taels of silver he had prepared and placed it in front of Mr. Xi: "Master Xi, here are two taels of silver, please count them and keep them."

"Give me the IOU I signed earlier, and we're done!"

After hearing this, Xi Laocai looked at the two taels of silver without even raising his eyelids: "Oh, Master Wang, you are mobilizing so many people. I thought it was for some other reason, but it turns out you are just talking about Hua Da's loan!"

As he said this, he waved his hand and called the housekeeper: "Sibao, go and get our account book."

"Check what's going on with Huada's debt. I can't remember it, sir!"

After hearing this, Wang Yugui smiled slightly and thought to himself: Xi Laocai is really good at pretending to be something.

Half a year ago, I beat up Hua Da and Wang Wu for paying off the debt in advance. Have you forgotten it so quickly?

Xi Laocai's butler Xi Sibao was also a dramatic figure. He agreed and went to get the account book.

He pretended to check for a while and glanced at Hua Da and Wang Yugui.

Then he looked at the wealthy man and said sharply, "That's not right, sir. According to the IOU, Hua Da should pay us four taels of silver!"

"Idiot, why are you yelling at me? Show the IOU to Master Wang and the village chief!" Xi Laocai narrowed his eyes and cursed Xi Sibao loudly.

Xi Sibao listened and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

As he said this, he took Hua Dali's note and walked in front of Wang Yugui and the village chief: "Master Wang, Village Chief, please look, this is Hua Dali's note."

"It's written in black and white, with Huada's own handprint on it!"

Wang Yugui looked at it and smiled slightly. The village chief looked at it, frowned, and looked at Wang Yugui: "Master Wang, it's true. According to what is written in this receipt, Hua Da should really pay back four taels of silver!"

"Village chief, don't be fooled by this document," Wang Yugui said with a smile.

He looked at the village chief, then at Xi Laocai.

He waved his hand and said, "What is written on this receipt, that the debt must be paid four times the amount when it is due, is invalid!"

"What? Oh, oh, Master Wang, you are really like a toad yawning, you are so arrogant!" Xi Sibao immediately glared at Wang Yugui and shouted

After hearing this, Wang Wu took a step forward and shouted at Xi Sibao: "Xi Sibao, who are you calling a toad? How can you call our boss a nobody?"

After hearing this, Xi Sibao raised his head and glared at Wang Wu: "Hey, you rascal, what's the matter, you want to get beaten again?"

Wang Wu got angry when he heard this: "Damn it, you asked someone to beat me out last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet, I..."

"Hey, Wang Wu, please step back. I'm talking to Master Xi and the village chief." Wang Yugui stood up and pulled Wang Wu aside.

He turned around, looked at Xi Sibao, and deliberately asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am our master's butler, my name is Xi Sibao." Xi Sibao raised his head and said loudly

Wang Yugui laughed: "Oh, so he's a housekeeper? I thought he was Mr. Xi's grandson!"

"I'm talking to your master, why are you butting in? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

Then he sneered, "If you were my housekeeper and dared to be rude to the guests, I would have slapped you in the face a long time ago!"

"Hey, you, what are you saying? You, you want to slap me again? I..." Xi Sibao was dissatisfied after hearing this and glared at Wang Yugui, ready to explode.

The village chief coughed and said, "Hey, Sibao, please step aside."

"Your master is still here, it's not your turn to give orders to the guests!"

After hearing this, Xi Sibao glared at the village chief again. Just as he was about to shout, he heard Xi Laocai say, "Sibao, you are rude, get out!"

As he said this, he looked at the village chief, then at Wang Yugui, took the account book, and sneered: "We have a reason and evidence, so we are not afraid of them coming to our door to blackmail us! Master, I want to argue with you!"

As he said this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Yugui: "Master Wang, you didn't bring people to my house on purpose to cause trouble today, did you?"

"Of course not, Master Xi, please don't misunderstand me." Wang Yugui smiled

Xi Laocai sneered again: "What do you mean? It is clearly written on the receipt that Hua Da borrowed one tael of silver and must return four taels when the due date comes."

"You brought Hua Da here, but only gave me two taels of silver. How is that?"

"You still say that my receipt is invalid? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

"Master Xi, look, you misunderstood again." Wang Yugui laughed: "Oh, I brought Hua Da here to pay my debt sincerely, and I even asked the village chief to be a witness."

"Do you think I look like a debtor?"

"What do you mean?" Xi Laocai snorted.

The village chief was also puzzled and asked Wang Yugui: "Master Wang, is there something wrong with this document?"

"Yes, village chief, you have also noticed that this document is not written correctly," Wang Yugui said hurriedly, and added: "This document is against the law!"

"Ah? Is this document against the law?" The village chief was surprised and took the document back to have a look: "Master Wang, what's wrong with it? Why didn't I see it?"

"Hey, village chief, this document is written in black and white with red fingerprints, how can it be illegal? Don't listen to his nonsense!" Xi Laocai got angry and shouted

After saying that, he snorted, "They just want to default on their debts. Damn it, I've only seen people hiding from their debts, but I've never seen anyone actively defaulting on their debts."

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "I have really broadened my horizons today. It seems that people in the city are different from people in our village!"

"You are so brave that you dare to come to my house to default on your debt. Humph, Master Wang, I think you are bored because you have had too much to eat in the city."

"You come to me to act like a big shot, but you don't even bother to ask me if I, Xi Laocai, am so easy to mess with in Nancun!"

Then, he glared at Hua Da again and raised his voice and shouted, "Hua Da, I'm telling you, if you owe a debt, you have to pay it back. There is a written document as proof."

"No matter who you come to, don't try to evade your debt. Either you return me the four taels of silver according to the receipt."

"Or, I will continue to lend you the money, but next year, the principal will have to be calculated as four taels of silver, and we have to sign a new agreement!"
