The 103rd chapter troubles the righteous warehouse (2)
Over the years, Erhuzi's father, who never went out, came to the front with a crutch and poked Li Dahuai's coat with a crutch, and said angrily: "You, Li Dahuai, have a few more heads than us, why don't you follow the rules? Is this rule belonging to the whole village, or are you just the paupers?"
Li Dahuai felt like a big head, and made everyone rush to ask, and he was speechless. He didn't know where he should start (). Li Huaizhong held his chin in both hands, squatted behind Li Dahuai, blinked his little eyes, and whispered behind him, saying, "I'll do you have a charity warehouse and I'll still pay my rest. How can I do this?"
Li Dahuai immediately repeated the sentence like a parrot.
Meng Youtian asked loudly: "How much millet did you take with Li Yi Cang?"
Li Dahuai replied: "The stele is clearly engraved, and who can speak forty stones without any slightest words."
"You take out a forty stone and get back a few forty stones?" Old Zhao asked.
Li Dahuai said with confidence: "You can't say that. My Li family took out forty stone grains as a base. How can everyone still repay their kindness with grudges?"
"The whole village is taking less or more in the charity warehouse. If you give more or more, who will repay the revenge?" Xiaoquan followed closely, leaving no room for Li Dahuai.
The people in the yard took advantage of the opportunity to ask Li Dahuai in one breath, "Who will repay the grudge? Do you think it is? Who is it?"
Li Dahuai rolled his eyes when asked, drooped his head weakly, and hummed through his teeth for a long time, "It's me, it's me Li Dahuai."
It is a big deal to let Li Dahuai admit this account. In fact, he had already made up his mind. People often say: A bachelor will not suffer the loss in front of him. If there is no world, his life will be difficult to protect his life. What is a few grains? If the world is still not chaotic, it means that the previous sentence will hand over the farm to everyone, and he will not dare to put a finger into the Li family's grain stockpile. Now, he has to go the road ahead. Otherwise, even if you put a knife on his neck, he will not admit that the Li family compound is kind to repay the grudge.
Erhuzi's father was so angry that he used a crutch to knock on the bluestone steps and cursed: "You Li Dahuai can open your mouth. In the twelfth month of the winter, I drove our family out of the house because I couldn't hand over the grain from the Yi Cang. Erhuzi's mother was angry and frozen, and she swallowed her anger. I couldn't swallow my cowardly, and I was caught in a prison and broke my legs. If it weren't for the villagers' care, our family would have to go to see the King of Hell. Today, I want to avenge your Li family, and I'm not here to receive your affection and righteousness. Today, it's my life, I will fight you!" As he said that, he swung the crutch and beat him. Li Dahuai flashed and a crutch hit Li Huaizhong's head.
Erhuzi was even more angry and took the time to grab the crutch from his father's hand, and beat him in a daze, "You man-eating wolf, you are a domineering ghost who kills people without blood..."
The people in the yard can no longer suppress their anger. The reason they have been talking about these days is not in vain. Moreover, today there are many people and strong courage. As soon as they rush up, they will pick up their arms and sleeves and then beat them up.
An Meng quickly raised his arms, and Li Dahuai died under An Meng's crotch. "I have something to say and make sense. Since Village Chief Li admitted his mistake, he will correct it. There is no reason to kill anyone."
Meng Youtian spread his arms and exclaimed his anger today. Just grab the Yicang. Xiang An Meng said that it is indeed inappropriate to kill Li Dahuai. Keep it for him and then continue to deal with him.
Old Zhao and Wang Mingyi also persuaded each other, which was to calm people down. Otherwise, if Li Dahuai was beaten up, he would have to beat him half-death. Taking advantage of this momentum, people forced Li Dahuai to write and write on the spot, and spit out all the grain owed to the charity warehouse over the years.
Bags of grain were carried out from the Li family's Houyao Courtyard, and people were laughing and cheering, and they were so happy.
Li Dahuai's little wife Qilixiang moved a chair, sat by the window, lifted the silk covering the glass, "One, two, three, four...", and remembered how many bags of food he carried out.
Li Dahuai lay straight on the kang, raised one leg high, whimpered, pounded the kang with his heel, gritted his teeth, rubbed his head and said, "I bullied me like this, one day I will fall into my hands. If I don't break your bones, I will peel your dogs a few skins alive?"
Qilika originally wanted to say, "Now she must be too angry." But she was afraid that she would count the memory and was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
The Li family was a wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. Who dared to touch a hair in thousands of dynasties? This time, the big fuss made Li Dahuai a bastard. He handed over the Yi Cang and even grabbed his neck and spit out more than 300 stone grains. It is said that seeing is true, hearing is false. The whole village thinks that what Lao Zhao and Wang Mingyi say is reasonable, and his heart is relaxed. He also looks at the village guard group with admiration. Without them, the bandits would not know how to harm others, and Li Dahuai would not bow his head and admit his mistakes.
After the trouble of Yi Cang, Lao Zhao, Wang Mingyi and Meng Youtian distributed part of the food spit out by Li Dahuai according to the number of previous years' accounts, as compensation for the deduction of the villagers and reward for the trouble of Yi Cang. The remaining 100 stones are still placed in Yi Cang for emergency use. From then on, the rule of Yi Cang was to treat the villagers equally. No matter whether you are poor or rich, you will repay as much as you borrow, and only add 10% of the interest for more than a year.
As a means of isolating and suppressing Li Dahuai, of course it was not just a matter of turmoil. Meng Youtian took out another fifty dollars as the foundation to ask Lao Zhaotou and Wang Mingyi to organize the establishment of a mutual aid association.
This mutual aid association was not the first to Meng Youtian. The elderly may remember that in the literary and cultural revolution and the short period of time, most employees were low in wages and barely able to survive. Whenever they encountered temporary difficulties, the mutual aid association could help solve the problem.
At that time, the mutual aid association was a mass spontaneous organization led by the trade union. Participants could enjoy the help needed for temporary difficulties by paying a few yuan a month, but they had to agree to deduct it from their salary for several months. At the end of each year, the money paid was returned in full. The mutual aid association was very popular and almost everyone of the employees participated.
If we move forward to the Republic of China period, the "signature meeting" spontaneously organized by farmers in some villages is also a prototype of the mutual aid association. The signature meeting unites poor farmers. When poor households have difficulties, they mobilize all members to provide help, and insists on not borrowing usury from landlords and old money. Similarly, Meng Youtian also wanted to use this form to cut off a channel for Li Dahuai to control the poor.
