If he makes the people of the Li Family Mansion lose face and suffer a great loss, will Li Mingxia feel happy after knowing this? Will he feel that he is a good person? At that time, he can say that he was close to Li Zhengxue in the past because he was simple-minded and didn't understand the twists and turns here, and was deceived by Li Zhengxue and the people of the Li Family Mansion! Wouldn't that make up for the previous shortcomings?

After having this idea in mind, Xue Li thought more and more that this matter was very feasible.

He pointed at Li Dalang. If he remembered correctly, Li Mingxia's attitude towards this person was the worst. So, let's start with this person.

"You are Li Zhengxue's father. Since he doesn't have the money, you have to pay for it." Xue Li sneered.

"If worst comes to worst, we still have this house of yours. Even though it's dilapidated and worthless, if you tear it down yourself, I'll be happy to see you do it. I'll waive the money for you. How about it?" Xue Li felt happier the more he spoke, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes as he looked at Li Zhengxue.

"I have something to do at home today, and everyone has almost finished eating, so I won't see you off. I'll invite you all to talk another day!" Grandpa Li looked at the group of people at the table who were looking at each other in confusion, and said with a forced smile.

These people had been waiting for Mr. Li to say this for a long time. In this situation, staying in this room for one more second would be torture for them. After saying a few polite words, they left without looking back. One of them even took away a plate of food on the table when no one was paying attention.

Mr. Li saw it, but he didn't have time to bother with these things. He just wanted to drive all the outsiders away. Even if he sold his old bones, he couldn't raise the 40 taels of silver. It was even more impossible to demolish the old house. With so many people, where would they live without a house? How would they survive?

"I thought you would keep these people to help you raise money, why did they all leave?" Xue Li put down the folding fan in his hand and said slowly.

To be honest, he was really a little hungry, but the food in front of him made him lose interest and appetite. He didn't know what Li Mingxia had prepared for Song Li. But no matter what it was, based on Li Mingxia's cooking skills, it must be a hundred times more delicious than the food in front of him!

"Second brother, you should go back and go to sleep first. Dad is here." Old Master Li glanced at Li Erlang, thought for a moment and said.

But whether it was Li Erlang, Li Mingyu or even Jin, no one wanted to leave.

Li Erlang was worried that something might happen to Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, so he wanted to stay here to take care of them. Jin wanted to hear whether this matter would implicate herself. If it was resolved, then she would definitely take advantage of it. As for Li Mingyu, she wanted to hear more and would tell Li Mingxia when she went to work at his house tomorrow.

The three people had their own thoughts and no one wanted to leave. The boys didn't care. They were scared when they saw Xue Li smashing cups and getting angry just now. He had disappeared by now.

"Second brother, Daddy is fine. Take your daughter and wife back to bed. You will go up the mountain with Daddy tomorrow. They are all in the yard. If there is anything, Daddy will call you. It's nothing, don't worry about it."

After hearing this, Li Erlang nodded and left with Jin and Li Mingyu.

Jin didn't want to leave, but under the current circumstances, if she had to stay, not to mention that Li Erlang would take her away by force, even Old Master Li would probably take the opportunity to lose his temper with her.

After much thought, Jin decided not to bring bad luck upon herself at this time. After all, she would know the consequence by asking Li Dalang tomorrow.

When only the eldest wife, Old Madam Zheng, Li Mei'e, Old Master Li, and Xue Li were left in the room, Old Master Li let out a long sigh.

"We can't afford forty taels of silver."

Xue Li already knew that these people probably didn't even have four taels of silver, let alone forty taels.

"That's your business. Why bother talking to me?" Xue Li looked at the food in front of him. He felt even more annoyed when he thought that Song Li might be satisfied with his meal now.

"Brother Xue, Master Xue said that you borrowed more than ten taels of silver from him. Is this true?" Hua looked at Li Zhengxue and asked in disbelief.

She couldn't believe it. After all, Li Zhengxue had been asking for the money he owed during this period, and she hadn't seen him bring anything home. How could it be that -

and many more!

Hua's eyes fell on Li Zhengxue's clothes. The brand new brocade made her son look out of place in this dilapidated house.

and also--

Hua once again turned her head to look at Li Mingxi who was standing behind her and peeking. She was wearing a pearl hairpin on her head that was similar to the ones worn by Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong. These were only purchased recently. Could it be that the money was spent here?

But Hua knew his own son well. He didn't think that Li Zhengxue would borrow money to buy anything for Li Mingxi. There was definitely something fishy about the money!

Hua was not wrong in his guess. Li Zhengxue hinted to Xue Li to give him these things at the beginning. But for some reason, Xue Li always gave him money and asked him to buy them himself. He also said that brothers should just talk about it directly. Li Zhengxue naturally thought that these money were given to him by Xue Li. But now think about it, Xue Li never clearly said that these money were a gift, not a loan!

After thinking through all these things, Li Zhengxue felt a darkness before his eyes. Not getting a response, Hua slowly shut up.

Xue Li snorted coldly, "This young master does not have the time to waste here with you. In half an hour, you bring forty taels of silver to this young master, and this matter will be written off. If you can't bring it, don't blame me for being ruthless. Every one of your family members, big or small, must come with me to the government office!"

Xue Li seemed to feel that it was not enough. "Mr. Li, I think you are the only one in this room who understands human language. Think carefully. If you can't satisfy me, what is the government office? If your precious little brother enters the government office, don't expect to come out safely!"

"You! What do you want? Xue Li! I'm telling you, don't go too far! You look down on me like this now, aren't you afraid that one day I'll turn the tables? By then, even if you're kneeling—"

"Shut up!" Old Master Li shouted angrily, stood up suddenly, and slapped Li Zhengxue hard in the face!

"You beast! How dare you say these things at this time! Are you not satisfied if I don't force everyone to death?"
