The generational gap in thought between Zhou Chong, a soul from the 21st century, and the Ming Dynasty people of the 16th century can be seen in the Song family's visit to collect debts.

Both later generations and ancient China were a society based on human relationships. However, with the emancipation of the mind in later generations, the human relationships have become much weaker. For example, among relatives, it is very common to come to ask for debts, as long as the person asking for the debt is not

If they break up in a big fight, the relationship between the two families will not be affected.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the debt relationship between relatives was mixed with more favors. Generally, the debtor would take the initiative to return the money to the other party. If there was really no money to repay, he would also fight with the other party first.

Say hello and ask for as much time as possible. If the creditor is in urgent need, he will not come to ask for it from his relatives. Instead, he will entrust an acquaintance of both parties to deal with it. In this way, even if he cannot get it, he will not hurt the two families.

of affection.

The Song family and Zhou Zhong's sister have been engaged, and they are considered as in-laws. This is already a very close relationship, but now the Song family comes to ask for debts. This is no different from directly breaking up with each other, and what can be done

Such an incident also shows that the Song family doesn't care about the marriage at all, or the Song family regrets the marriage and just wants to force the Zhou family to break off the engagement by visiting the family to demand debts.

In later generations, Zhou Chong's parents died early, so he worked in the society at an early age, and he was able to experience the ups and downs of society. However, he never thought that asking for a debt in the Ming Dynasty would involve so many things.

It wasn't until Butler Xu explained it to him for a long time that Zhou Zhong finally understood.

"Bah!" Zhou Zhong slammed the table and stood up. The smile he had always had on his face disappeared and turned into a sinister face. This was the first time he felt detached since time travel.

Angry, even more angry than when he saw the boss who discriminated against him molesting his female colleague in his last life, because this time the other person had offended a relative around him, and it was also his sister, which made him unable to do anything as an elder brother.

Bear.

"Young master, please calm down. The Song family is a group of powerful villains. I heard that the second young master of the Song family has been having a fierce fight with the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Huating County. This time they came to ask for debts in a quarrel, which is probably very serious.

Maybe they just want to force us to break off the engagement so that we can marry the woman who can bring them a lot of business!" Butler Xu was well-informed and immediately told his analysis.

"Others have bullied us, how do you ask me to calm down?" Zhou Zhong snorted and said angrily, with a chilling light flashing in his eyes.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhong had a bad temper, otherwise he would not have beaten up his boss at work. Although after time travel, he understood the value of life and his attitude towards life became very optimistic, this did not

It shows that he has no temper. In fact, it is just the opposite. After becoming a gray person in his previous life, Zhou Zhong was exposed to many dark sides of society, which affected his character to some extent. So when he really hates someone, then the other person can

Just be really careful.

"Chong'er, our Zhou family has been defeated now, and the whole family depends on you to support it, so don't be impulsive. If the Song family wants to break off the engagement, just break it off. When Chong'er is admitted to the Juren Examination in the future, there will be many opportunities for them to regret it.

!" Aunt Wang was shocked when she heard Zhou Zhong's words and hurriedly tried to persuade her. However, when she said the last sentence, this honest woman also showed a bit of hatred.

"Yes, what Aunt Wang said makes sense. Young Master, you have a bright future. There is really no need to be like the people of the Song family!" Butler Xu also advised from the side. He is experienced in human affairs and knows that with the current situation of the Zhou family, there is no need to be like him.

It is not appropriate to provoke the Song family again.

Zhou Zhong is no longer the nerd he was before, and he naturally understands the current situation. Now that the Zhou family has trouble even eating, they are not qualified to fight with the Song family. However, Zhou Zhong has already recorded this Song family in his heart, and today the Song family will give him

The insults caused by my Zhou family will be repaid a hundred times in the future!

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I understand all this. For the sake of our family, I will not be impulsive." Zhou Zhong took a deep breath and said very calmly, "Steward Xu, lead the way and follow me.

Go meet the Song family father and son!"

"Yes!" Butler Xu agreed, turned around and left the small courtyard, and the two of them came to the front hall of Zhou Mansion one after another.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Zhou Zhong saw a middle-aged man in his forties and a teenager standing in the hall. The middle-aged man was dark and fat, wearing a member's outer shirt and a lion nose.

His wide-mouthed mung bean eyes really made him look a bit off-putting to the audience. As for the young man, he was fair and thin, and his facial features were very regular. However, his eyes were more white than black, and his eyes were raised when he looked at people, as if he was very arrogant.

No need to ask, the two people standing inside must be Mr. Song and the second young master of the Song family. The reason why they are standing instead of sitting is because the tables and chairs in the hall have been sold to pay off debts. The entire hall

It was empty and there was no place to sit.

When Gao Zhong walked into the hall, a warm smile immediately appeared on his calm face. As if he was seeing a respected elder, he stepped forward and bowed to Master Song: "Uncle Song is here to visit.

It is really rude and disrespectful to greet my nephew at a distance!"

Seeing his young master's face-changing stunt, Butler Xu was also stunned. He really didn't expect that the young master he had watched grow up would have such a strong character. He was cursing the Song family before, but in the blink of an eye he could

Greeting each other so affectionately, this was completely different from the young master of the Zhou family in his impression who could only read. Could it be that his young master suddenly started stealing because of his family's decline?

Master Song was also stunned when he saw Zhou Zhong's enthusiastic look. He had often come to Zhou's Mansion before and had met Zhou Zhong many times, but in his impression, Zhou Zhong was just a nerd, who didn't know anything about human kindness.

Accident? However, although Mr. Song was surprised, he did not show it too much. He also said very enthusiastically: "My nephew, you don't have to be polite. I heard that Brother Zhou was unfortunately killed, and I felt really sad. I also hope that you will express my condolences, nephew!"

"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Song. I wonder what important matters your uncle has come to visit today?" Zhou Zhong asked knowingly. He had already thought clearly on the way to the hall just now. With the Song family's ruthless attitude, even if the other party does not

Even if he cancels the engagement, he will not marry Zhuo'er, but now that the other party has taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, the initiative is in his hands. The Song family must pay a small interest in advance for today's matter.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's question, the fat and dark Mr. Song looked at Butler Xu next to him with a meaningful look. He had already expressed his intention to Butler Xu before. He did not believe that Zhou Zhong would not know their intention. But since Zhou Zhong knew what he was asking,

He couldn't help but answer, because

At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said with a big smile: "Nephew Zhou Shi doesn't know something. The New Year is approaching recently, and the guys are waiting to get their wages and go home to celebrate the New Year. Our Song family is a small business, and we really can't turn over money, so

I hope my nephew can repay the previous debt."

Mr. Song is indeed an old businessman. When it comes to setting up accounts, he goes straight to the point without blushing or feeling embarrassed at all because the two parties are relatives. Butler Xu next to him cursed in his heart, although the Song family's business is not as good as before.

The Zhou family, but in Songjiang Mansion, they are also famous. Now they say that they have no money to pay their workers. Not even a ghost would believe this.

However, after Zhou Chong heard this, he showed an expression of "I believe" and sighed repeatedly: "I thought Uncle Song's family had a great business, but I didn't expect that it also has its own difficulties. It seems that the old saying is true, the landlord's family has no surplus food!"

Master Song and his son were stunned when they heard this. They were thinking about the old saying that 'the landlord's family has no surplus grain'. However, Zhou Zhong didn't give them any time to think, and then said: "

Since Uncle Shi has already spoken, the debt our Zhou family owes to Uncle Song will naturally have to be repaid."

When he heard that Zhou Zhong was willing to pay back the money, Mr. Song's eyes immediately lit up, but before he could say anything, Zhou Zhong spoke again: "It's just that you saw the situation here, uncle Shi, but you came here."

There’s not even a place to sit, so my nephew is really strapped for money right now, can you ask Uncle Shi to give me a few more days?”

When Zhou Zhong said the above words, he showed a very ashamed expression on his face, as if he really felt guilty because he could not pay back the money.

Mr. Song just heard that Zhou Zhong was willing to pay back the money, and he was very happy. He didn't expect that Zhou Zhong would give him such a wonderful turn of events right after, which made him angry and hateful. But the purpose of his visit today is not just

He came to ask for money, but had another more important purpose. Before achieving this purpose, it was really not appropriate to break up with Zhou Zhong. On the contrary, the second young master Song behind him had an impatient look on his face.

Several times I wanted to speak, but Master Song stopped me.

Zhou Zhong pretended not to see the performance of the Song family and his son. At this time, Mr. Song suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and a kind smile appeared on his fat face again: "Nephew Zhou Xian was joking, it's only two hundred taels."

Debt is nothing to the Zhou family, but for a small business like our Song family, it is really life-saving money!"

Hearing that the fat man Song Hei was still crying to him about poverty, Zhou Zhong sneered in his heart, but his face pretended to be even more pitiful, as if he was really a bankrupt young man who was cornered by his creditors, and he kept asking Song Hei.

The master said some kind words and asked him to extend his grace for a few more days, but unfortunately, he was firmly rejected by Master Song.

In the end, Mr. Song probably felt that the heat was enough, so he stopped talking about asking for debts, turned to a serious face, and finally exposed his fox tail and said: "Nephew Zhou Xian, since you don't care about the friendship between the two families so much.
