Chapter 184 IOU
Liang Yu nodded and said, "I'll think about it, old man. It's getting late, you should go back."
It was indeed getting late, and the horizon was filled with dim sunset glow. The old man looked at the sky.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed. "Indeed, it seems I have to walk faster, otherwise I won't be able to enter the city gate if it's too late."
As he said this, the old man got on the ox cart and drove back again. Liang Yu also returned to the house.
He was preparing to cook. Hunter Liu had been following him around all day, so he had to cook a meal to reward him.
Liang Yu took out the rice and soaked it to cook later. The soaked rice tasted better when cooked. Then he started to wash the vegetables.
After Liu the Hunter and Hua Jian lifted Hua Zhiyuan onto the bed, they patted Hua Jian's shoulders to comfort him.
Although Hua Jian is a twin, Hua Zhiyuan had already announced that he would raise Hua Jian as his son and find him a wife in the future.
At first, everyone in Xinghua Village thought that Hua Zhiyuan had gone crazy because he couldn't give birth to a son, so he treated Shuang'er as his son.
But as Hua Zhiyuan supported Hua Jian's studies, the people in Xinghua Village gradually realized that Hua Zhiyuan was not crazy, and that was what they thought.
So gradually, the villagers subconsciously ignored Hua Jian Shuang'er's identity and treated him as a man.
Therefore, Liu the Hunter did not have many concerns when getting along with Hua Jian.
Hunter Liu patted Hua Jian's shoulder, sighed, took out a cloth bag from his chest, opened it and found ten taels of silver inside.
He handed the ten taels of silver to Hua Jian and said, "Xiao Hua, I just heard that you met a kind person and borrowed ten taels of silver from him, so you were able to pay for the medicine.
I heard from Doctor Du that you need to go back for a follow-up check in seven days and prescribe medicine based on the situation.
Here are ten taels of silver. I'll give it to you first. If you need anything else, just come and find me."
Hua Jian knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, although given their family's current situation, it would probably take a long time to pay back the money.
But the most important thing is to heal Hua Zhiyuan’s injury first. As for the money owed, it is really not possible.
When Lin Han comes back, I will borrow money from him first and then return it to him slowly later.
Regarding the ten taels of silver that Hunter Liu took out, Hua Jian guessed that this was the maximum amount that Hunter Liu could lend to their family.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not borrow money from Liu the Hunter again.
Hua Jian took the silver and thanked Hunter Liu solemnly: "Uncle Liu, thank you very much. I will write you an IOU.
When we return the money to you in the future, you can destroy the IOU in front of us."
This was supposed to be a good thing, but Hunter Liu refused, "Why bother, considering the relationship between your father and me.
There's no difference whether there's a promissory note or not, why make such a fuss?"
Hua Jian still felt that it would be better to make a written agreement, "Uncle Liu, you and my father naturally have a good relationship.
But once this document is signed, it will be good for you and our family, and, as you just said.
It doesn't matter whether we have this IOU or not. It won't take long to draw up one, so why don't we just do it?"
Hunter Liu felt that what Hua Jian said made sense. He said that he did not establish Hua Zhiyuan only because he believed in Hua Zhiyuan's character.
But after Hua Jian reminded him, he suddenly realized that if he didn't do it, he would have a hard time explaining to his family. Hua Jian was thoughtful.
Hunter Liu nodded and said, "Well, Xiaohua is really thoughtful. In that case, let's sign a document."
Seeing that Hunter Liu agreed, Hua Jian said to him, "Then please sit here and wait for a while. I'll go get some paper and pen."
Hunter Liu: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Jian walked out of Hua Zhiyuan and Liang Yu's room and went to his bedroom to get paper and pen.
After a while, Hua Jian wrote a promissory note and asked Liu the Hunter: "Uncle Liu, the promissory note is ready. Do you want to show it to the village chief for inspection?"
Hunter Liu waved his hand and said, "No need, since you asked for a written agreement, there should be no problem.
Otherwise, why would you bother with this? Just write my name, read it to me, and then give me the receipt."
Hua Jian: "Well, given the relationship between our two families, it's naturally impossible for me to cheat Uncle Liu out of his money.
But Uncle Liu, if you lend money to anyone in the future, you must ask them to write a receipt and then give it to the village chief for inspection."
Hunter Liu understood that Hua Jian's reminder was well-intentioned, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I remember."
Hua Jian wrote the name of Liu the Hunter, waited for the ink to dry, and read it to Liu the Hunter.
After both parties agreed that there was no problem, Hua Jian handed the IOU to Liu the Hunter, who put it inside his clothes.
Then he said to Hua Jian, "Xiao Hua, it's getting late now. Your aunt and the others are still waiting for me at home, so I won't stay any longer."
After saying this, Hunter Liu stood up and was about to leave, but Hua Jian quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle Liu, you've been busy for our family all day.
My dad is already cooking, why don't you eat first before leaving?"
Hunter Liu still had to go home and explain to his family, so he couldn't wait any longer and had to refuse again.
Hunter Liu: "Uncle, I really have something urgent to do and need to go back. Xiaohua, please don't stop me and let me go."
Hearing that Liu the Hunter left because he had something urgent to deal with, Hua Jian didn't want to stop him.
Hua Jian: "Well, Uncle Liu, when my father gets better, we'll treat you to a meal. You must come then."
Hunter Liu: "Okay, I understand. Tell your father that I'm leaving first. You don't need to prepare my meal."
After saying that, Hunter Liu walked out of Hua Zhiyuan and the others' bedroom. As soon as he stepped out of Hua Jian's house, he met Liang Yu who was feeding the rabbits with vegetables.
Seeing that Hunter Liu was about to leave, Liang Yu asked in confusion, "Brother Liu, where are you going? The meal is almost ready. Why don't you eat first?"
When Liu the Hunter saw Liang Yu, he felt something was wrong and he had to explain again.
Hunter Liu: "Well, my dear brother-in-law, I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. You don't have to prepare my meal."
Liang Yu: "What's so urgent? Can't you wait until after dinner?
Brother Liu, you've been running around so much for Xiaohua's father today. I'd feel really bad if you didn't have a meal before leaving."
Hunter Liu: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's just that I really have something to do.
Let’s put it this way, next time, next time you invite me to dinner, I will definitely come, so let’s leave it at that for today.”
Hunter Liu: When I went home today to get the ten taels of silver, Xiao Cui was not at home. Because time was urgent, I didn't have time to tell her.
Many people in the village saw me sending Laohua to the town, and some people also saw me running back.
If I hadn't explained it to Xiao Cui before, I could have said that time was tight and there was no time to explain.
But now I'm back. If I still stay at Lao Hua's house, I'll go back and explain after dinner.
Xiao Cui must be angry and has no intention of listening to my explanation. I'd better go back quickly.
I will secretly release some of the chapters that are owed on some beautiful evenings to surprise my readers. There is only one chapter left!
