Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Yang Kaigui brought his two sons, pretended to be calm, pushed through the crowd, squeezed into Yang Kaiyun's house, and bowed to Zhou Chuanyi and Zhou Chuanjing who were in the middle of the main hall.

"Village Chief Zhou, Clan Chief Zhou, what a rare guest! You are not at home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival today, but you have brought a group of people to our Yanglinpo. I wonder what you are doing here?"

Zhou Chuanjing said coldly: "You Yang family members are so bold, not only did you have a woman outside and did something shameful, but you also want to trick our Zhou family daughter into a divorce. Are you bullying us because there is no one in Zhoujiawan?!

Today I will let you know what happens if you bully the daughter of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Chuanyi said: "The moon is not as important as the reputation of my daughter. After we beat you into submission, it won't be too late for us to go home and celebrate the moon."

Yang Kaigui: “…”

The news that Yang Jinlin had married a rich man and wanted to divorce and remarry was known to everyone, and Yang Kaigui naturally knew about it too.

But in the final analysis, this matter is beneficial to the Yang family. Yang Jinlin is doing well, and as the head of the Yang family, he will also have reputation, and he may even get some benefits.

So he supported Yang Jinlin in his heart.

But now Zhoujiawan is causing trouble. If we don’t appease them, the Yang family in Yanglinpo may no longer exist today...

Yang Kaigui said with a smile: "The New Year is not over yet, let's not get angry. We are from the same village, and we should not hurt the harmony over trivial matters.

Zhou Rong is a good child. She gave birth to two grandsons for the Yang family. We are so grateful to her that we can’t express it all. How could we get divorced?

Jin Lin has been working in the provincial capital. We don’t know much about his situation in the city, so it’s hard to draw a conclusion. But as the head of the Yang family, I can assure you that I will not let the two children divorce.

If Zhou Rong has any grievances, just come to me and I will help her."

After saying that, he walked to Yang Kaiyun and tugged him: "Kaiyun, quickly give the village chief and clan leader of the Zhou family a promise that you will treat Zhou Rong well in the future and treat her more dearly than your own daughter."

Before Yang Kaiyun could speak, Zhou's mother said, "Their daughter is worse than the servants in the old society. Please don't mistreat my daughter."

Yang Kaigui smiled awkwardly.

Zhou Chuanjing said: "You guys with the surname Yang, don't waste your words on me! Yang Jinlin committed adultery. In the past, we could have castrated him or beaten him to death!

He is not in Yanglinpo today. When he comes back one day, we will come and settle the score with him."

Zhou Chuanyi said: "Yang Jinlin has bad conduct and bad behavior. He is not worthy of being the son-in-law of our Zhoujiawan. We have discussed and decided to dissolve their marriage. When Yang Jinlin comes back, we will go to the township government to handle the formalities."

Zhou Rong guessed that this was a statement that the village chief and clan leader had specially discussed for the sake of Zhoujiawan's reputation, and he quickly said, "The daughters of Zhoujiawan are the most resolute, and they never care about men who are willing to degenerate.

Our village chief and clan leader are the most reasonable people and are the biggest supporters of our married daughter. Now that they have agreed to my divorce with Yang Jinlin, we will go and get the divorce certificate as soon as possible.

From now on, the Yang family and our Zhou family have no relationship anymore!

I want to get back all my dowry today, and the money and food that the Yang family owes my parents must be repaid in full."

Seeing Zhou Rong's perfect cooperation, Zhou Chuanyi looked at her with satisfaction and said, "Go to the room and count the dowry to see what's missing. While everyone is here, let's settle the accounts with the Yang family.

Chuanmin, did the Yang family write IOUs for borrowing money and grain? If so, bring them out. If not, make a list on the spot."

Father Zhou took a cloth bag from Mother Zhou, took out several bundles of IOUs from it, and said, "The Yang family always come to borrow things from us, but never return them. We were afraid that they would deny their debts over time, so we recorded the amount, and Yang Kaiyun even signed and put his fingerprints on them.

We in the Zhou family don't do anything to blackmail others, so they just need to pay back the money and grain according to the numbers on the IOU.

Here is also a letter of commitment, which was signed by Darong and Yang Jinlin when they got engaged. It states that they will get married when Darong turns 18, and during this period, we will bear all of Yang Jinlin's school tuition.

If Yang Jinlin regrets the engagement, or does something to let Darong down after the marriage, our Zhou family has the right to demand back any money that has been paid, and the Yang family must repay ten times the amount.

Yang Kaiyun, Granny Fang, am I right in what I said?"

Yang Kaiyun looked at the stacks of IOUs and letters of commitment and regretted very much that he had signed and put his fingerprints on them. Otherwise, he could have made some excuses today and wiped out a lot of money.

"That... those are all old things. I can't remember them clearly. Who knows if you guys have faked them?"

Father Zhou stepped forward and slapped Yang Kaiyun on the head twice: "You can't remember clearly? I'll beat you to death and see if you can remember clearly!"

Yang Kaiyun covered his head which was hurt by the beating, took a few steps back, avoided Zhou's father, and said tremblingly: "There is no money at home, you can keep those IOUs first, and we will pay them back when we have money."

Father Zhou grabbed him by the collar and said coldly, "I have been saying this for more than ten years, ever since you first asked us to borrow money!

My Darong family is about to sever ties with your family, and you still want to use that little relationship to waste our time? I tell you, no way!

If you don't pay off your debts today, I'll cut your whole family into pieces!"

Yang Kaigui tried to smooth things over and said, "Chuanmin, don't be angry. It is only natural to pay back a debt. Kaiyun will definitely pay you back.

But you also know their family’s situation. They have always been the poorest family in Yanglinpo. The situation has only improved since Jinlin started working.

How about this, I'll ask Kaiyun to take out all the money in the house and give it to you. I'll pay you back as much as I can today, and the rest can be paid back slowly in the future, okay?"

Father Zhou: "No! I don't want to waste time with him, I have to pay it back today!"

Yang Kaigui: "He has no money, what can you ask him to pay back? Even if you beat him to death, he can't turn into money.

If he really gets into an accident or gets seriously injured and can't go out to work, he will be even less able to pay back the money he owes you.

Listen to my advice and spare him this time. I will help you supervise him and make him work hard to pay off your debt as soon as possible."

Seeing that his father was in deep thought and seemed to be about to give in, Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "Yang Kaiyun's family is a notorious rogue. The fact that they raised a son like Yang Jinlin shows that they have extremely bad character.

We don't believe anything he says, unless Chief Yang guarantees for them and promises us that if the Yang family doesn't pay back all the money within a year, Chief Yang will be responsible for paying the remaining debt, and we will release them immediately."

Yang Kaigui would definitely not respond to this. He was not crazy. Why should he help others to bear debt for no reason?

He asked Yang Jinlin to help his youngest son find a job in the city at the end of last year, but there has been no result yet.

He would never do such a thing that would only bring him disadvantages and no advantages!
