The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

"Don't say anything more. It's only natural to pay back your debts. If you don't have money, just hand it over to the person!"

"Master, please give me a few more days. I will collect all the money and send it to your home! Woo woo..."

Hua Chao heard a noise behind him and turned around to see a young girl tied up. A group of men dressed as slaves were pulling the girl and heading towards her.

Not far away, an old man was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to a man dressed in brocade and satin. Blood had seeped out of the old man's forehead.

"Go away! When you give me the money you owe me, you can come back to take your daughter. Otherwise, your daughter will be my slave!"

A short servant saw the old man reaching out to grab Master Liu, so he stepped forward and kicked the old man away, causing the old man to fall several times.

The old man cried out, "Master Liu, I only have this one daughter. Please let us go. I will work like a cow or a horse to pay you back the money I owe you. Please let my child go! She is still a child!"

As he said this, he rolled and crawled forward and grabbed the corner of Mr. Liu's clothes.

"Fuck you! I have given you so much time, and you can't raise enough money, so you blame me for being unkind."

"Pa..." Another slap hit the old man's face. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of his lips.

"Are you all dead? Why don't you throw this old guy to the back mountain?" A man who looked like a butler shouted in a low voice.

"Hualala..." Three or four servants came forward and pulled the old man away, regardless of the murmurs of the crowd around them.

Hua Chao looked around, but saw no one willing to stand up and say a word for the old man and the young. He was already burning with anger.

Hua Chao couldn't help but was about to step forward and argue with this group of beastly people, but he saw a pretty figure rushing towards him.

“Pah pah… dong dong…”

Ling Mi went up and kicked the two servants who were pulling the old man to the ground one by one.

The two servants were also caught off guard. At that time, they saw a pretty girl rushing out from the crowd. The girl had a charming figure and a rosy face. They had never seen such a beautiful girl before. They just stared at the beauty in a daze. They didn't expect that the beauty would come up and kick each of them.

The two servants were kicked to the ground, and the crowd burst into laughter at their miserable appearance.

"Hahaha……"

"Look at these guys who rely on their superiors for power. They are also facing this day."

"Where did this little girl come from who is making trouble here? Beat her up." Master Liu was so angry that his goatee twitched. He pointed at Lingmi and asked the servants to take her down.

Seeing this, Hua Chao hurriedly stepped forward to block Ling Mi and said, "Master Liu, calm down. My sister just offended me for a moment. I hope Master Liu can be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it with a little girl."

When Mr. Liu looked up, he saw a beautiful lady standing in front of him. She was dressed in pearls, jade, silk and brocade. She must be a lady from a wealthy family. He did not dare to offend her casually. If she was the eldest daughter of an official family, she was not someone he, a small hotel owner, could afford to offend.

Master Liu rolled his dead fish eyes and said, "Little girl, where did you come from, you wild girl? Why are you meddling in my affairs? Are you really that brave?"

"How much silver do Master Liu and the others owe you?" Hua Chao didn't want to talk more with these people, so he asked directly.

Since they owe them money, just pay them the money you owe. This is the most direct and quickest way to solve the problem.

"Why does this young lady want to pay back the money for Old Zou?" Mr. Liu's dead fish eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.

"Sister..." When Ling Mi heard that Hua Chao was going to pay for these two strangers, she knew that they didn't have much money to begin with, so how could they have extra money to take out to deal with such trivial matters?

"Ling Mi, don't say too much."

Hua Chao knew what Ling Mi was going to say, and hurriedly shouted at her to stop her from continuing.

"Tell me, how much money do they owe you!" Hua Chaomei stared at Mr. Liu with eyes wide open.

"Hehe... not much, just thirty taels of silver!"

Mr. Liu stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of his eyes.

Hua Chao reached into his pocket and said, "It's just thirty taels of silver. Take it. Release the father and daughter."

Seeing that his master was winking at him, the Liu family's butler stepped forward, took the silver from Hua Chao's hand, and checked it carefully.

"Master, it's the finest snowflake silver."

"Why don't you let them go!" Ling Mi angrily stepped forward and pushed away the two servants who were holding the little girl.

The people around also began to help Ling Mi drink, "Take the money and leave! I'll give you all the silver, why don't you let the girl go!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

…………

The group of people then retreated in a hurry, feeling unwilling to give up.

"Thank you ladies."

The little girl supported the old man and kowtowed.

Ling Mi stepped forward and pulled the two of them up, "No need to be polite!"

"How can I repay the young lady for her kindness? That Mr. Liu is simply a ruthless man! The money we owe is only three taels of silver, but he compounded it with interest and it became twenty taels. Now that the two young ladies have helped, it has suddenly become thirty taels. Oh my God! Where can we go to seek justice?"

"My family of three came to Longyin Town to live with relatives, but we didn't expect that the relatives had moved away. My wife was so anxious that she fell ill and the little silver she had on her was soon used up. My wife also passed away. We were penniless and had to borrow one or two taels of silver from the store to hide her. Then, my daughter and I had to sing and save money to pay back the store owner, Mr. Liu. But after we finally managed to collect one or two taels to pay him back, he said he still owed two taels. Woo woo..." The old man couldn't continue and just cried softly. He continued later.

"Today, Mr. Liu wanted to take my daughter to pay off the debt. No matter how much I begged for mercy, they just couldn't do it! Thanks to the two young ladies, otherwise, my daughter and I would have died today! Woo woo..."

Hua Chao pulled the little girl up and took a closer look, and she was indeed as beautiful as a flower.

"Now you and your daughter should hurry up and return to your hometown. Otherwise, the master will not let it go and will come back to trouble you and it will be difficult to deal with it."

Hua Chao asked Ling Mi: "Ling Mi, how much silver do you have left? Give some to him and his daughter so that they can have a better life along the way."

"Sister, I don't have any money!"

Hua Chao gathered some of the small change he had and handed it to the old man: "These are all I have. Don't think it's too little. Take it and leave here quickly. Don't stay in Longyin Town anymore. Leave this place of trouble and return to your hometown to live a good life!"

The father and daughter bowed again.

Looking at the father and daughter walking away, Hua Chao felt a dull pain in his heart. There are all kinds of things in the world, and things like what happened to this father and daughter happen every day.

"Sister, now that we have given them all the money we had, what should you and I do? Everything in this world requires this hard stuff, and we can't take a single step without it!" Ling Mi muttered in a low voice beside Hua Chao.
