When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

"Weidong, do you want to sell yourself as a slave and serve the master for the rest of your life, or do you want to cut off your hands? You can choose one of these two options."

Everyone should choose to sell themselves into slavery, right? But he didn't!

Weidong: "I don't want to be a slave. I will work to pay off the money I owe you."

The landlord's lackey:

"Tsk! You don't even have a house or land, what are you going to give back? You can't even carry anything on your shoulders or hands, and you want to work? Who would want to hire someone like you to work like this?"

Latchback B:

"That's right! The master wants you because he feels sorry for you! Why don't you kneel down and kowtow, and be grateful and work like a slave for the master's family? Don't be ungrateful!"

Wei Dong said disdainfully: "You like to work like a slave, and no one will compete with you for it. I won't do it!"

Lackey B: "Why are you so noble? I thought you were a scholar! It's up to you whether you can pay the money or not! Kneel down!"

He had long disliked this person. What a great thing it was to be well-educated! Now he was being beaten up by himself.

The lackey pressed Wei Dong down and forced him to kneel on the ground.

The lackey was not satisfied and kept kicking the person who was pinned to the ground.

Wei Dong resisted desperately. He would rather be beaten to death than kneel on the ground.

The accountant acted as if he didn't notice the lackeys' behavior.

He leisurely picked up the teacup and drank tea. Perhaps he had seen such things many times, or perhaps he really didn't care about other people's life or death.

The lackeys bullied Weidong but didn't get any advantage. They beat Weidong, but Weidong fought back regardless of his life.

They were so angry that several people held down Wei Dong's hands and feet. One of the violent men took out a machete and pressed it on Wei Dong's neck, forcing him to bark like a dog.

The lackey gnashed his teeth:

"You dare to fight back? Are you tired of living? Ah? If you bark like a dog, I will spare you, ah? Bark!"

As he said that, he slapped Wei Dong in the face. Wei Dong's face immediately became swollen, which showed how hard the slap was.

While he was feeling proud, Wei Dong bit his arm and refused to let go no matter how the others pulled or hit him.

After a while, Wei Dong bit the man so hard that he screamed and his mouth was full of blood.

Wei Dong was forcibly pulled apart by the lackeys and was beaten badly. The flesh on his arm was almost bitten off alive.

Injure the enemy by one thousand and damage yourself by eight hundred!

No one got the upper hand.

When had the lackey ever suffered such a loss? He held Wei Dong down with all his might and was determined to chop off his hands.

Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Shi Yi and his group who were resting in the village.

Shi Yi gave a look, and the guards took action to deal with those lackeys, which was not easy. After a while, a group of them fell to the ground.

At this point, the accountant stood up tremblingly and shouted:

"What are you doing? My master is the county magistrate's brother-in-law. If you dare to interfere in my family's affairs, you'll be in big trouble!"

Shi Yi rolled his eyes. He hated people like this who took advantage of others' power the most.

The manager beside Shi Yi said calmly:

"Okay! Who is your master? He is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. It just so happens that my family has some friendship with the county magistrate.

Please help me find out whether it was the county magistrate who asked you to take advantage of your power to bully others and chop off their hands?

They are a bunch of ignorant bastards who are doing evil things under the banner of the county magistrate and smearing the reputation of the county magistrate."

The lackeys and the accountant knew that they were being insulted, but they did not dare to resist. After all, the other side had more people and were very good at fighting, so it was obvious that they would suffer a loss.

Besides, this matter cannot be brought to the table.

What? He owes me money and won't pay it back, so I'll chop off his hand to pay it off.

If we bring it to the surface, the law won't allow it.

It's fine to do it in private, but if it's done in public, the county magistrate may not necessarily stand on his side.

The landlord's accountant said, "Ask him if he owes us money. It is clearly written in black and white." He had to emphasize that he was right.

Wei Dong was not convinced and shouted, "What the hell is this! When I borrowed the money, they just told me to mortgage my house and my land, and if I couldn't pay it back, I could use them to pay off the debt.

Now you say that my house and land are not even enough to pay the interest, and I still owe you the capital.

You guys just think I have no backing, so you're just being a scoundrel! Ugh! "

The landlord's accountant raised his chin and said condescendingly:

"You are an educated person after all, how can you be so unreasonable? How can our master lend you money without charging interest? Otherwise, what is the purpose? Are you just after your few acres of thin land and this dilapidated house that is about to collapse?"

"You..." Wei Dong was so angry that he was shaking all over. His own high-quality farmland was casually described as poor land by others.

Although my house is not made of blue bricks and tiles, it is the best house in the village, and the most important thing is that it has a good location.

This was all his father had left him before he died! Now he couldn't keep it anymore.

His mother also died, and he was disheartened!

At this time, Shi Yi's family was already quite wealthy, and a few hundred taels of silver were nothing to her, so she paid off Wei Dong's debt.

The manager of the caravan got her advice and said, "It's just over 300 taels of silver! Why is it so serious? We will pay it back for him."

The Accountant: We will give you a few hundred taels as soon as you ask us to. It seems like they are not someone you can easily mess with. We better quit while we are ahead.

The accountant took the money and respectfully handed the IOU to Wei Dong. He put on a fake smile and said:

"Master Wei, the accounts between us have been settled. Today was all a misunderstanding. We will meet again in the future."

Wei Dong had an angry look on his face and snorted to show his disdain for them!

The accountant and his lackeys walked away in disgrace with an apologetic smile.

I didn't expect that I didn't take back the Wei family's fertile fields and houses today. I don't know how angry the master will be when I return!

When Shi Yi thought that the matter was settled here and the caravan was about to continue on their journey, Wei Dong quietly followed the caravan.

He was discovered by the guards and brought here.

Shi Yi asked him, "What do you want to do by following the caravan?"

Weidong said firmly: "I will work for you and pay you back."

"You don't want to work for the landlord, do you? Why are you willing to follow me?"

Wei Dong: "I don't want to be a slave, but I can work for you. I'm not afraid of hardship. I will pay you back one day."

Shi Yi: "I didn't ask you to write me an IOU. It's just this money. I didn't plan to ask you for it. We just met each other by chance."

Weidong lowered his head and said nothing, but he didn't leave.

Shi Yi: This is still a stubborn character.

He could only persuade him kindly: "We are a caravan, traveling all over the world, it is very tiring. There are people here who can take care of your family..."

Wei Dong interrupted Shi Yi and said, "My father passed away last year, and now my mother is dead too. I have no relatives. Xie Jiu is also missing, and I have no home."

When he said "no home", his voice choked and sadness filled his eyes.

He was determined to die today. Suddenly, there was no one he cared about in this world. He had lost everything, so there was no meaning in living anymore.

Shi Yi: This young man was deeply hit by the death of his mother!

I felt a little bit sorry for looking at these tearful eyes.
