Chapter 6 People who owe money dare to come to the door
After Shi Yan spoke, everyone returned to the room. He stood there, took a deep look at the closed door of the main room, and then went back to sleep.
The next day, Song Tingran was still not used to the biological clock here, so she slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and woke up to a burst of yelling.
She listened drowsily.
"Shi Yan, we have been waiting for you at home all morning, and you are doing well. You are at home and at ease!"
Song Tingran was overjoyed and quickly put on shoes and clothes. Isn't this an inappropriate gift of money?
After opening the door, Shi Yan was standing in the courtyard very anxiously. Xiao Yuchen was holding a broom in his hand, with a look of death on his face. The two of them dodged a little when they saw that their wife had woken up.
Just when Shi Yan was about to explain, Song Tingran raised his hand and said, "I know, no need to say anything. Open the door and I'll meet them."
Xiao Yuchen still held the broom in his hand and unlocked the door. The people outside were banging on the door very hard, but as soon as they did this, someone fell directly in.
Song Tingran laughed directly: "The wife of the Xiao family is really a well-mannered person. She gave such a big gift when she came up. It's really impressive. Get up quickly."
A bunch of villagers gathered outside the door to watch the excitement. The commotion had just started and so many people had gathered. It seemed that the wife of the Xiao family was well prepared.
The wife of the Xiao family lost face, grabbed her husband behind her, and cursed angrily: "You saw me falling, don't you know how to help me!"
The three little ones next to her, one girl and two boys, were all a little frightened, but the girl was relatively calm.
Song Tingran waved to Xiao Yuchen, who immediately ran over and whispered a few words in his ear. He looked happy, took the ax he had picked up on the roadside and used it to chop firewood, and went out.
The Xiao family's wife saw that Shi Yan was still there, so she didn't stop him, because Xiao Yuchen would always do some rough work, and everyone in the village knew that he was full of tendons and strength.
"Song Tingran, Shi Yan and I have made an arrangement to go to class every other day. Today, our whole family has been waiting in vain all morning. There must be an explanation for this matter."
Song Tingran looked at Shi Yan and stood up straight, with the arrogance of a scholar. She gave him a smile and shouted to the door: "Since everyone is here, let's comment. The Xiao family, Not only do three children have to attend classes, but two adults also have to attend, and they only pay one share and are in arrears.”
This male gentleman was originally of a low status, and Song Tingran had never liked Shi Yan reading and practicing calligraphy. I originally thought that he was too afraid of him coming to his door, but he didn't expect that he would say everything.
"It's a fact that Shi Yan didn't come to teach. With such a style, why should he pay?"
The villagers outside are all just outsiders, and no one's words seem to make sense, and now they are even talking about it.
Song Tingran felt that Shi Yan's hands were shaking with anger. She walked over, gave him an encouraging look, and whispered: "This is their fault, not your problem. You handle it, I will support you." .”
Shi Yan looked at his wife in surprise. Since ancient times, when there was something going on in the family, the wife would always come forward. He was just the eldest man in the family, how could he dare to take the initiative and handle things?
Song Tingran took a step back. The wife of the Xiao family was so proud that she thought she was scared.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I have here evidence of the Xiao family's arrears to Shu Xiu. Every stroke of it is the fingerprint of the Xiao family's wife."
"How dare you speak to me directly like that!"
The villagers at the door were all shocked, and the Xiao family was also shocked. A husband actually dared to speak on such an occasion.
"Song Tingran can't beat Shi Yan to death. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is so courageous."
"Look at the face of the wife of the Xiao family, it's so ugly."
Amid the discussion, Xiao Yuchen led Village Chief Zhou over. After finishing his work, he retreated directly behind Song Tingran to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
The Xiao family was not afraid when they saw Village Chief Zhou. Instead, they directly filed a complaint. On the way, she had already heard Xiao Yuchen roughly say that the Xiao family was not unreasonable.
Shi Yan clasped his hands in his fists, bowed to Village Chief Zhou, and said, "Village Chief, this is the amount of money that the Xiao family owes me. One penny for each lesson, and a total of ten pence."
The Xiao family knew that they had the IOU, but she just didn't want to pay Shu Xiu, so she pressed her fingerprints. The original intention was to catch Shi Yan as a male husband and a tough wife, so they wanted to drag out the money. Now they are all After turning it out, she began to regret it.
"Master of the Xiao family, do you agree?" Village Chief Zhou asked.
"I'm here today to solve the problem of Shi Yan not coming to class on time, not to solve these pieces of paper."
Village Chief Zhou did not look at Shi Yan, but looked directly at Song Tingran, but she seemed to be watching the fun and had no intention of interfering. If the wife left it alone, Shi Yan Zhanli would also suffer.
Shi Yan looked back at Song Tingran. She smiled and said "Come on". He didn't understand what this meant. Could it be that after the matter was resolved, he still wanted to buy meat and oil for his family?
"Speak, are all your Song family members dead?"
The wife of the Xiao family was extremely anxious. Village Chief Zhou asked her to calm down and calm down a little. They were all neighbors in the same village. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts, so just solve them.
Shi Yan plucked up the courage and spoke again, saying: "Normally, you have to hand it in once every six months. It doesn't matter if you finish the first half of the year. If you want to take classes again, you have to continue to hand it in the second half of the year. If I hand it in once this time, it won't matter." The truth lies in whether to go or not.”
"You are a husband. Being a husband is already a publicity. Our Xiao family understands that the Song family is poor, so we are willing to let you marry me. Now, relying on your wife's love for you, you dare to think of marrying Shu Xiu once every six months. It's really I’m giving you face.”
The wife of the Xiao family pointed at Shi Yan's nose and scolded her. Song Tingran walked up, and her aura scared her away.
Not to mention, this big body is not useless, it is still very useful for scaring people.
"Village Chief Zhou, I believe you have understood the matter. We just want to return Shi Yan's owed Shu Xiu. Please make the decision." Song Tingran spoke to Village Chief Zhou very seriously.
"Who said I signed this IOU? I didn't sign it, it was forged by Shi Yan."
As soon as the wife of the Xiao family came out, her husband was so frightened that his legs trembled, and Village Chief Zhou even frowned.
Song Tingran was speechless, even wanting to laugh, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Let's go to the town together and ask the mayor for help to compare the fingerprints. If we really can't compare, we can also beat the drum to complain and go to the county magistrate. Every day we Everyone in every household is registered, and by comparing the fingerprints on it, the truth will be revealed.”
Wen Li and Sang Cheng were listening all the time. Wen Li was shocked. He came here with his brother Wen Ci and was not recorded in the Song family. In a sense, he was indeed not a member of the Song family. People from the Song family.
Sang Cheng didn't notice Wen Li's mood and was focused on Shi Yan's situation.
The wife of the Xiao family panicked and took the IOUs and looked at them carefully. Suddenly, she slapped her husband hard, and cursed: "It was you who pressed the fingerprints, and you didn't remember to remind me. How could I default on Shu Xiu?"
