Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

The two were about to gather their strength to refute.

"Bullshit! Liu Cuilan, you are the unlucky star! You lost the land deed when you took it to the town, and now you blame the two children. You are like selling cloth without a ruler. What nonsense!" The old lady came in breathlessly, pulled the two of them behind her and started scolding them.

Seeing the old lady looking like a hen protecting her chicks, the two men reached out and tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to let them solve the problem themselves.

"And you two, what are you talking about? Stand still! You want to join in every fun, now you didn't get to see the fun, but you got yourself into trouble! Don't smile at me, I really owe you!" The old lady turned around and yelled at the two of them fiercely.

No matter how thick-skinned they were, they felt a little embarrassed at this moment. After all, they were the mothers of several children, but the old lady was really too much, not giving them any face at all.

Seeing the two of them looking so cowardly, the old lady said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get home!" and turned around to fire at Liu Cuilan.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin hurriedly pulled the old lady back: "Mom, you can deal with us when you get back. Let us handle this matter."

At this moment, Mr. Chen and his family also squeezed in. Mrs. Chen looked at the two of them and silently stepped aside. Okay, now that more than a dozen people in the family are here, they are not afraid that they will suffer any loss, so let them solve it first.

At worst, I can just go up and fight. Liu Cuilan is so small, is it possible that I, an old lady, cannot defeat her?

Ever since Zheng Yuan and the others broke in, the group of debt collectors stopped destroying things and just stood aside and watched the show.

Zheng Yuan stepped forward and walked to Liu Cuilan's side: "Aunt, you said that your land deed was lost because of us?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you two say that the manager would have to mortgage the land deed before giving Bing? Would I go out on the street with the land deed in my pocket?" Liu Cuilan still looked resentful.

Both of them were almost laughing because of her. What kind of weird theory was this that blamed the mirror for one's ugly face?

"Okay, let me ask you. Did we persuade you to take the land deed as collateral? Or did we put a knife to your neck and force you to steal your own land deed and go to the town?"

"I...I...but if you didn't tell me, how could I have taken the land deed and thought about doing this business! Yes! If you didn't tell me, then this wouldn't have happened, right?" Liu Cuilan's voice suddenly became louder, as if she had found a reason to blame them.

"If you say so, then let's have a good talk. Did we tell you separately that you had to mortgage the land deed to buy ice? No, there were so many people on the ox cart that day who could testify to that. Besides, we didn't intend to tell you this. After all, this is a job we found with great difficulty, and you followed us all day like a dog smelling something."

"On the ox cart, you repeatedly asked me how I got the ice. We had no choice but to think that people from the same village told you. We also repeatedly told you that the business was not easy to do, with high capital and the land deeds had to be mortgaged. It was you who chose to take the risk of using the land deeds to do this business. There were so many people on the cart that day, why didn't they steal the land deeds from their homes to do this? Don't you think so, Li Juxian?"

Zheng Yuan directly asked the question to Li Juxian who was watching the fun on the side.

Li Juxian was happily eating a handful of melon seeds when she was suddenly called. She turned around and was startled by her husband's inquiring eyes. She choked on the melon seeds and started coughing: "Cough cough cough...Sister Zhao, Aunt Liu wanted to steal the land deed herself, it has nothing to do with me. I did inquire about it that day, but I didn't want to touch the land deed at all. It's the lifeblood of our family. I'm not that confused."

Li Juxian was afraid that the fire would burn her again, so she tried to distance herself from it.

That's what she said.

"Uncle Houjin, you heard it too. We haven't just told my aunt about this. We don't know where your land deeds are. You can't blame us for losing your land deeds." Seeing that Chen Houjin was a reasonable man, Zheng Yuan ignored Liu Cuilan and spoke directly to Chen Houjin.

If Chen Houjin is also confused, then they don't intend to take care of today's matter.

Chen Houjin rubbed his temple and said tiredly: "I know that this old woman was confused and stole the land deed without discussing it with us. It has nothing to do with you."

"Old man! What do you mean it's none of their business? It's obviously..."

"Shut up!" Liu Cuilan was interrupted by Chen Houjin's roar before she could finish her words.

Seeing that Chen Houjin was really angry, Liu Cuilan immediately shut up and dared not say another word.

"Uncle Houjin, you are a clear-headed person. Although the loss of your land deeds has nothing to do with us, your aunt heard the news from us after all, and we feel very sorry about it. We will help you deal with this matter. Don't say anything for a while, let's talk to the people in the gambling house." The two men pulled Chen Houjin over and spoke to him in a low voice.

Farmers who have been digging in the soil all their lives have no idea how to deal with this matter. They just felt like the sky was falling. Now someone took the initiative to help, and they were backed by the Zhang family in the town, so naturally they would not refuse.

"Brothers, let's sit down and have a drink of water and talk slowly. Caifeng, go get a few bowls of water for them." Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin dragged a few stools from under the eaves and placed them in front of the people who were standing aside to watch the fun.

No matter what, you definitely can't just go up to someone and argue and escalate the conflict. Ask what the situation is first and see if there is room for negotiation.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Wang Caifeng hurriedly stood up from the ground and ran to the kitchen.

Those debt collectors found it a bit strange that the two village women were not afraid of them and asked them to sit down and talk. Shouldn't the normal reaction of villagers be the same as this family's, either crying or begging for mercy?

A relatively less sturdy middle-aged man among them walked up with a smile and sat on the stool. I think he should be the leader of this group.

"I wonder what you two want to say?"

The manager did not take the water handed over by Wang Caifeng. Duan Minmin patted Wang Caifeng and signaled her to put it aside.

"This must be the one in charge. May I ask your name?"

"Excuse me, my surname is Wang." The manager stared at the two of them with an expressionless face.

The two of them were not afraid of his eyes. No matter how scary his eyes were, could they be scarier than the eyes of the boss in the workplace?

"So it's Manager Wang. I'm so sorry. Brothers, you've come to this mountain valley in such a hot day. It must be hard work. Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

"No need, let's talk business. We are here to collect debts. As long as this family cooperates with us to collect the debt from the gambling house, we will leave immediately." Manager Wang was unwilling to talk.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I wonder how much money my uncle Hou Jin's family owes your gambling house?"

"They don't owe us money, but someone has mortgaged their land deeds to us. Now we are here to take back the land. We are not unreasonable. We don't want any rice in the fields. As long as they harvest it within five days, it will not affect our sale. If they still haven't harvested it after five days, we can only sell it together with the rice in the fields."

Wow! It seems that you are a good person. You took their fields, and they are grateful to you for not taking their rice.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other, lowered their heads and rolled their eyes tacitly.
