Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 366. Debt Collection

Xu Shuanghong was like she'd swallowed a fly. What kind of damned logic is this?

But those burly men were eyeing her menacingly, and she was a little scared. "Don't talk nonsense. I gave you all those gold leaves as a gift when we met."

You haven't given me any money for household expenses these days, and you've used up all my last bit of savings.

"This was entirely your fault. If your father blames me later, there's nothing I can do."

Just kidding, this is a bottomless pit, anyone who jumps in is a fool.

Gu Kaichen panicked when he saw the machetes brandished by the thugs. If he didn't pay them money today, things might not end well.

Just then, his gaze fell upon the end of the village. "Yes, I can still look for Lao San."

My brother is in the house up ahead; I'll take you to him.

In order to save his hands, Gu Kaichen had lost his mind.

Xu Yulan said, "Don't go, they're not home."

Gu Kaichen screamed hysterically, "How could they not be at home? Yes, did they go to the county town? Go and find them right away!"

He was, after all, his own second brother. Even if there had been some conflicts before, he couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

"They've been gone for days, and we don't know where they went." Xu Yulan was also panicking. No matter how bad Gu Kaichen was, he was still her man. If he really lost his hands, even if he returned to the capital, how could she face anyone?
But she really didn't know where Gu Kaiyuan lived, and he just left so suddenly.

“Yes, we’re going to the county town,” Gu Kaichen turned to look at Fang Dayong. “My third brother lives in the county town; he won’t abandon me.”

Fang Dayong had no desire to run errands for him, and he had also figured out that this family didn't even know where the person was, yet he had to help them find them. Did they really think he was being used like a servant?
Can't your eyes scan them? "I need to see the money right now. If that's not possible, you can sign a contract of servitude and I'll give you part of it as payment."

He had a good eye; the two young women hiding in the back were quite pretty, and one of them was dressed as a young girl. He could easily get a good price from the madam of the brothel.

Xu Shuanghong's expression changed, and she shielded her two daughters behind her. "Go ahead and search for anything in this house. It should be worth fifty taels of silver."

When they settled down, Gu Baijiang and his family brought back a lot of things from the county town, such as furniture, ceramic bowls and chopsticks, which could be used to offset some of the money.

Xu Yulan now wished she could throw those two little vixens away so they wouldn't be an eyesore in front of her. "How much silver is the stuff in the house worth?"
I think this man is right, so I'll hand them over to you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the Fan Meilin sisters, "They are both good-looking, that should be enough."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuanghong immediately became indignant, rushed over and scratched Xu Yulan's face, cursing, "You heartless bastard! I, as your mother-in-law, haven't even said anything yet, how can you make the decisions?"
They're husband and wife. Whether you cut off their hand or drag this woman away, I have no objection.

Xu Shuanghong was filled with hatred and unleashed all her strength. Xu Yulan, who had only eaten wild vegetables for a few days, was no match for her at all. She was quickly pinned to the ground and could not even muster the strength to fight back. Her face was scratched and she could only scream.

"Stop it, all of you!" Fang Dayong was furious. He wasn't there to watch them fight. "Let's search first."

He had initially intended to take the person away to pay off the debt, but the old lady was sensible and they didn't want to incur bad karma, so they decided to first see if the contents of the house could be used to pay off the debt.

Several of his men were still a little disappointed, but since Fang Dayong had spoken, they didn't say anything more and rushed into the room, ransacking it. Xu Yulan wanted to stop them, but she was powerless to do so. The Fan Meilin sisters were really afraid that they would be taken away by these people, so they even told them where to hide things.

Believe it or not, the two sets of jewelry that Xu Yulan had hidden before were also dug up. Gu Baijiang had specially bought them so that the family could sometimes have a presentable image.

Although it's not very valuable, it's still worth more than twenty taels of silver.

"That's mine..."

Xu Shuanghong slapped him across the face, saying, "What do you mean 'your'? You're paying off your husband's debts."

"Why don't you take yours out?" Xu Yulan shouted immediately when she saw her belongings being taken away. "They also have jewelry..."

In such a small area, once they have a target, Wang Dayong and his experienced team can find it quickly.

Seeing the several sets of jewelry laid out in front of him, Wang Dayong felt that the trip had not been in vain. He complained about being poor, but didn't he still have some savings?

He immediately waved for people to release Gu Kaichen, and even helped him up from the ground, tidying his hair. "Uncle Gu, it's really a misunderstanding. We'll accept this debt. I just checked, and these sets of jewelry are worth at least sixty taels of silver. We won't take advantage of you. Here's the IOU. Come to the gambling den later, and I'll give you another ten taels of silver in cash."

He wasn't so generous as to push away the money he had already received; rather, he saw that Gu Kaichen hadn't reached the end of his rope yet and could still continue to plunder.

The two graceful girls standing to the side had a slight smile on their lips.

Startled, Fan Meilin and her sister quickly turned their backs. Xu Shuanghong, no longer caring about beating Xu Yulan, went over and stood in front of her two daughters, saying, "You've got the money, now you should leave."

Gu Kaichen didn't expect the debt to be paid off so easily, but when he thought about how no one in the family was willing to hand over their belongings, he felt resentful. He felt that the beating he received was truly unjust.

After politely seeing the person off, he returned to find Xu Yulan sitting there crying. He slapped her across the face and said, "All you do is cry! Can't you see I'm covered in injuries? Go get the medicine."

Where can I get medicine at home?

"If there's no medicine, don't you know where to buy some?"

"Where is the money? You damned bastard..." Xu Yulan wanted to cry, but seeing Gu Kaichen's raised hand, she swallowed her grievances and went into the room to find medicine.

Things are different now. Since her aunt passed away, things have become increasingly difficult for her in this family.

Now that his father-in-law is gone, there's no one to keep Gu Kaichen in check.

Now she only prays that the capital will take them back as soon as possible. She still has her family back home, and she doesn't believe that Gu Kaichen will dare to treat her like this again.

Fan Meilin and Fan Meibao followed Xu Shuanghong to the village entrance. Fan Meibao immediately said sarcastically, "Is this the good life you wanted?"
The Gu family is already destitute. If this happens again, my sister and I will be in serious trouble; we might be sold to that filthy place.

Fan Meibao smiled at Fan Meilin, "Sister, you're so proud and arrogant, I wonder if you can accept this."

"Alright, shut up, say less." Xu Shuanghong was also annoyed. This was not what she expected. Her little girl was holding a grudge against her, but there was nothing she could do about it.
