Fu Qi threw a handful of coins in front of her, "Looking at your age, you still have such a useless and unfilial son, it's really pitiful."

Fu Qi left after he finished speaking, and at the same time, he glanced at the little beggars nearby who were staring at him eagerly, and gave a meaningful smile.

Du's mother was angered by Fu Qi's action, but when she saw the copper coins on the ground, she didn't care about the humiliation.

She endured the pain in her body and was about to pick it up, but a little beggar nearby rushed over and snatched it away.

Du's mother never expected this turn of events to happen. Just when she wanted to curse, the little beggars had already run away and took away the only two copper coins in her bowl.

This almost made Du's mother faint from anger.

After half a day's work, he finally earned a few coins, bought two steamed buns, and went back tremblingly, leaning on a stick.

But as soon as she entered the house, she found it in a mess, as if it had been robbed, which scared Du's mother.

However, not long after, Du Huaqing came back, and Du's mother hurriedly told him that the house had been robbed.

Du Huaqing suppressed his guilty conscience and said impatiently, "Who is this thief? I just rummaged through some things. Besides, there is nothing in my house that someone would want."

When Du's mother heard this, she felt relieved immediately, but soon one of the steamed buns in her hand was taken away by Du Huaqing.

Du's mother endured the hunger in her stomach but didn't say anything. She could only quietly move to her room, sit down and start eating the remaining steamed bun.

But not many days passed before the gambling house brought people to collect the gambling debts. Du's mother had never seen such a ferocious scene before and was stunned for a moment.

Du Huaqing was also very scared, so he asked them to give him a few days and they would definitely be able to raise the money.

"Do you think our gambling house is a charity? You can give us some leniency just because we say so? I have already given you three days. If you don't return the eighty taels of silver today, I will spare one of your hands." The leader spoke viciously.

When Du's mother heard the eighty taels of silver, she trembled and said, "Qing'er, how come you owe so much money?"

She knew that her son went to gamble, but she didn't know that he actually owed so much money. They didn't even have one or two taels of silver now, so how could they come up with eighty taels of silver?

Seeing that they were not joking and even took out a knife, Du's mother quickly said, "Don't cut my son's hand, I can give you the house deed."

But just as she finished her words, the leader laughed contemptuously, "Are you talking about the deed to this shabby house? Your son has long been mortgaged to us. Today, not only do you have to pay back eighty taels of silver, but you also have to get out of this house."

Seeing her son's evasive eyes, Du's mother recalled the messy scene in the house that day, and she understood what was going on.

But before she could say anything, her son was pinned to the ground by the man, who chopped off his right hand with a knife. Du Huaqing's wailing sounds were heard immediately.

When Du's mother saw this scene, she could no longer bear it and fainted.

When those people saw this scene, they just felt it was unlucky and asked people to carry them out, hoping that they would not die here.

When the people around saw the people from the gambling house coming to the Du family to collect debts, they had already closed the door for fear of being implicated.

The two of them just lay there at the door without moving until midnight, when they were taken away by Fu Qi.

Fu Qi naturally felt disgusted, so he tied it up with a rope and left it hanging.

We came all the way to the depths of the mountains. Even hunters rarely come here, after all, there are really wild beasts roaming here.
