Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

The first thing that caught my eye was that Boss Li was pinned to the ground by four or five men.

No matter how he struggled and begged, those people showed no intention of letting go.

A burly man with a messy beard and dark skin was dragging a little girl of seven or eight years old out of the house.

The little girl was so scared that her eyes were filled with tears. One of her hands was being pulled by someone, while the other hand was tightly holding onto the door frame.

I begged desperately: "Please don't take me away, we will definitely pay you back."

There was a younger one next to them, who was pulling his sister and kicking the big man.

"Bad guy, bad guy, let my sister go."

When the man saw the mocking look from his companions, his face suddenly turned dark.

He kicked the smallest girl away and then slapped the older one.

Liu Siyu was furious. These people were so immoral.

Just as she was about to speak out to stop her, Liu Sihan grabbed her in time.

"Sister, someone is coming."

Liu Siyu looked back and saw everyone retreating to both sides.

She also looked up curiously.

An old man with white hair and beard was leaning on a cane and looked like he was having difficulty walking.

Everyone seemed to respect him very much.

Liu Siyu also automatically stepped aside. She didn't need to show off even if someone else stepped forward.

In fact, she didn't want to deal with such a ruffian.

The old man stepped into the yard and cleared his throat.

"Erdanzi, you do such conscienceless things all day long. Aren't you afraid of retribution? Don't forget that you grew up drinking milk from many families. You do such things in the village during the New Year. You have no shame, but your mother is still alive!"

Liu Siyu's eyes lit up. This old man was quite capable, but she didn't know if he could subdue that idiot.

After hearing what the old man said, Erdanzi's arrogance was reduced by three points.

"Grandpa, it's not that I don't give you face. It's only natural to pay back debts. I'm also a serious businessman. There are so many people in the village, and everyone cares about face. How can I handle it?"

The old man spit angrily.

"How dare you say you are an honest businessman? I won't tell you how many people you have lured into lending money at high interest rates and forced to sell their children over the years. Just look at the people who jumped into the river or hanged themselves. Aren't you afraid of bumping into their ghosts when you walk at night?"

Erdanzi's eyes narrowed noticeably, perhaps because he was also afraid that the wronged spirits would come to him.

The others nodded frequently, and many of them wanted to agree, but they were obviously very afraid of that Erdanzi.

He could only shut his mouth in fear, with hopeful eyes fixed on the old man.

Even Liu Siyu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old man with his explosive fighting power.

He even dares to scold street thugs. It seems that this old man has a high reputation in the village.

The happy smile has not yet reached the corners of his mouth.

Then a thin man who was stepping on Boss Li's arm narrowed his eyes.

"Boss, this is the business we are in. We are both willing to do this. Even if there are vengeful ghosts, they can't find us. Don't listen to the nonsense that old man is talking about."

Erdanzi immediately raised his scarred face again.

He said viciously: "I call you the grandfather of our clan because we both have the surname Qian. If you keep nagging me, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

As he spoke, he slightly exerted force on the foot that was stepping on Boss Li's chest.

"You must pay back the money today. If you don't have money, you can use my daughter as payment. I can't make this trip in vain."

Boss Li suddenly became in great pain.

"Second Master, I beg you... please... don't take my daughter away. I am willing to sell myself as a slave and will pay you back on the appointed date."

Erdanzi snorted with disdain.

"You are an old man, and you still want to sell him for eight taels of silver. I think you should give up your dream."

As he said this, he winked at the person who was pulling the little girl.

"I wonder what's wrong with you, kid? You can't even control a little girl. Did you drink too much cat urine, or did you have too much trouble at night?"

The big man who was holding the little girl was scolded by the boss and his face turned dark instantly.

"If you dare to mess with me again, I will take your sister away with you.

The clan grandfather could only sigh helplessly. He was just an old man, and it was only because they had the same surname that Erdanzi gave him some face.

When money is involved, face is worthless.

People around him only dared to whisper in his ears.

Erdanzi brought a bunch of ruffians with him, and they were always trying to tempt others to lend them money at high interest rates.

As long as you dare to ask, even if it's just to borrow a penny, he will find a way to make you compound the interest, until in the end you have no choice but to sell your children.

But what can these poor people do?

If there is a patient or someone in trouble at home, if you don’t lend money, you will die. If you lend money, you will not be able to pay it back and you will have to sacrifice your child.

This is the fate of poor people.

Liu Sihan listened to everyone whispering in her ear, her legs trembling with nervousness.

He held Liu Siyu's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I'm scared."

Liu Siyu felt Sihan's fear, and in fact she didn't want to have anything to do with these scoundrels.

But she couldn't bear the miserable state of Li Lao Da's family.

While hesitating.

A skinny woman crawled out of the house.

It seemed as if he was using up all his strength, holding on tightly to the big man's legs.

He gasped for breath and said, "Let…let…let my daughter go."

The man was furious and wanted to kick the woman away, but the woman was incredibly strong and stuck to his leg tightly, as if welded.

This immediately caused the men who were stepping on Boss Li to burst into laughter.

Liu Siyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

"Stop it! You dare to kill people and rob in broad daylight! Aren't you afraid that the police will throw you into jail?"

Scarface looked up and saw that the person speaking was a yellow-haired girl, and his eyes rolled.

"Who are you to this family?"

Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows.

"I'm a passerby."

Scarface suddenly burst into laughter.

"Another busybody here, is it because I look too kind that you all want to come here to have fun?"

A lackey next to him immediately offered his services.

"Boss, do you want me to recruit that little girl as well?"

Scarface glared at him and withdrew his foot from stepping on Boss Li.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are serious businessmen."

Then he looked at Liu Siyu with a smirk on his face.

"Little girl, being a good person is not just talk. Boss Li lent me five taels of silver, and the interest compounded is exactly eight taels. Once the six-month period is up, you must receive the money today."

"Either you pay it back for him, or you come with us. Otherwise, I'm not so easy to talk to."

Boss Li was constantly being stepped on, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest.

Only then did I feel my chest relax and I took a few deep breaths.

Said to Liu Siyu: "Go quickly, these... these people are not easy to deal with, you will only get yourself into trouble if you stay here...

Liu Siyu was a little touched. Now they were surrounded by wolves and tigers, and Li Lao Da's family was almost forced into a dead end, but they still had the heart to persuade her.

She could also pretend to be frightened and turn away.

But if that happens, you may never feel at peace for the rest of your life.

Just as I took a step forward, someone else said, "Girl, you should leave quickly. The Second Master is not someone you can easily mess with. Once you offend him, your whole family will not be able to survive."

The people around him also tried to dissuade him.
