The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

As soon as the newcomer entered the room, he rushed in fiercely. One of the men dressed as younger brothers turned his eyes and saw Shen Mingkuan hiding behind Li, and said sarcastically:

"Hey! Shen Mingkuan, you run really fast. Do you think we can't catch you if you run back to your hometown?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was about to catch Shen Mingkuan. Shen Mingkuan was so scared that he quickly hid behind Li and said timidly:

"I, I don't know you, I don't know you."

"Hey! You don't know us. Why didn't you say you didn't know us when you were gambling? Why didn't you say you didn't know us when you asked us to lend you money? The seven-day deadline for you to pay back the money has expired. I advise you to pay it back quickly. Otherwise, you know what my brother is capable of."

Shen Mingkuan was still stubborn, thinking that with the old Shen family members around and many people from Shen Village outside the yard, the people in the gambling house would not dare to do anything to him.

But then he thought of those who had owed money to the gambling house and had their hands and feet chopped off by the gambling house. He was so scared that he trembled all over and looked at Boss Shen pleadingly.

Boss Shen almost fainted from anger. Old Shen was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the person who came and asked:

"Who are you? Do you know what the crime of trespassing is?"

The leader, Scarface, said disdainfully:

"Humph! Don't you know who we are? Breaking into someone's house without permission. When have we ever broken into someone's house without permission? We are only here to collect a debt."

Old Man Shen looked at the scar on the leader's face and knew that the man was not a good person. He also heard a general idea from them and Shen Mingkuan just now, and was furious.

I wish I could beat this beast Shen Mingkuan to death right now.

Seeing that more and more people were watching the fun, for the sake of his grandson's reputation, he couldn't make a big deal out of it, so he could only patiently ask:

"What debt? When did Mingkuan owe you money?"

The leader with a scar on his face took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it in front of Old Man Shen, saying fiercely:

"Look, this is an IOU written by Shen Mingkuan himself. He owes our gambling house five hundred taels of silver. The time, place, and handprints are all clearly written."

He looked Old Man Shen up and down and threatened:

"Old man, I see that you are an educated person, and you should understand that it is natural to pay back debts. With this IOU, we are not afraid even if you sue the authorities."

Scarface glanced at everyone in the main room with disdain. Seeing so many people in the room, he threatened fiercely:

"It seems that your family is discussing something important. Are you discussing how to pay back the money to our gambling house? I tell you, if you don't pay us back today, we will chop off one of Shen Mingkuan's fingers. If you delay for one day, we will chop off one finger. If you delay for ten days, we will chop off all four limbs."

When Shen Mingkuan heard this, the scene of someone chopping off his fingers in the casino suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was so scared that he burst into tears on the spot.

The smelly urine flowed out of his crotch. He didn't care about the embarrassment, crawled to Old Man Shen, hugged Old Man Shen's legs, and cried for mercy:

"Grandpa, Grandpa, please, I beg you to help me. If I don't pay the money back today, they will chop off my hands and legs. Grandpa, it's true, it's true, they really chop off people's fingers, wuwu..."

Old man Shen was furious: "Shen Mingkuan, you idiot, how could you owe money to the gambling house? You want us to pay off your gambling debts for you? No way."

When Boss Shen and Mrs. Li heard that their son's hands and feet were going to be chopped off, they were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Shen Mingkuan pleading with the old man, they quickly got up and ran to the old man, crying and begging:

"Dad, please save our Mingkuan. Mingkuan is the only student in our family! He will soon pass the examination to become a scholar, and will have to take the examination to become a juren in the future. If he loses his hands, what will he do in the future?"

Shen Mingkuan's daughters-in-law Hu and Shen Mingzi also cried and pleaded for mercy.

Shen Mingzi was almost mad at her brother. Wasn't her brother studying in the county? How could he have gambling debts?

Five hundred taels of silver, how can they pay it back? No, we must find a way to make the old house pay it back.

If they rely solely on the eldest wife to pay back the debt, how can their family have a good life in the future?

The room was in chaos. Shen Lao Er stood beside Old Man Shen and watched every move of the people in the gambling house.

Zhong followed closely behind Old Lady Shen, and Shen Mingshu from the third room was already standing beside Old Lady Shen to protect her.

Upon seeing this, Shen Mingshan from the second house immediately walked to Old Man Shen's side without making a sound, keeping an eye on what was going on in the main room.

Shen Mingzhu protected Shen Mingyu and Shen Mingbao behind her. She looked at Su and then at Old Lady Shen.

After Shen Mingzhu received a look from Old Lady Shen asking her to stay calm, she asked the two children to stand behind Su, and she came to the side of the clan elder, ready to protect the village chief and the clan elder when the fight took place.

Perhaps because of their trust in the Shen family, the village chief and three elders did not leave, but stood together with the Shen family, ready to face this crisis together with the Shen family.

These days, the Shen family has made great contributions to the village. Everyone in the village remembers the kindness of the old Shen family. Everyone is standing outside the yard on high alert, determined to rush in to protect the Shen family if a conflict occurs inside.

Everyone was scared when they saw so many ferocious-looking people. They were all ordinary farmers. When had they ever seen so many people who were willing to take risks?

Seeing these people suddenly rush into Old Shen's house, and hearing that they were here to collect gambling debts, they all looked at the yard in disbelief.

The Shen clan members clenched their fists tightly and were ready to fight against the outsiders.

The Shen family will not allow outsiders to bully them. They will not allow outsiders to bully their Shen family members.

At this moment, the people of Shenjia Village were unprecedentedly united, and the Shen family members stared at the main hall of the old Shen family with sharp eyes.

Outside the courtyard, the women who were looking out were talking in a flurry, especially the village gossips, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zeng, who were talking happily.

They were watching the jokes about the Shen family with great joy as if it were New Year's Day. Zeng was eating melon seeds and talking with bubbles flying all the time.

"Haha, did you see that? This is a family of scholars, and a scholar at that! Pah, they raised a gambler. Do you know? Shen Mingkuan owed a gambling debt of 500 taels of silver to the gambling house in the county town."

She stretched out five fingers and gestured, her movements were exaggerated and her face was distorted.

"Five hundred taels of silver! Five hundred taels of silver! Shen Mingkuan is such a prodigal son. The old Shen family can never repay it even if they cry out to heaven.

"Someone in the gambling house said it. Look, it's the scarred guy who said he wanted to chop off Shen Mingkuan's fingers!"

"Haha, the Shen family calls itself a family of scholars. Is this a family of scholars? Pah, you deserve it for bullying poor orphans like us and our widows."

Someone couldn't stand it any longer, "Old lady Zeng, stop adding insult to injury. Do you think your son is any better than Shen Mingkuan? Isn't your son also a gambler? Stop making sarcastic remarks here. If the gambling house comes to your doorstep to collect debts one day, I wonder how you will be able to smile."

Old Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she wanted to tear apart the aunt who was speaking for her, but Old Mrs. Hu held her back tightly.

Mrs. Hu whispered to Mrs. Zeng, "It's more important to watch the fun first. The fun of the Shen family is still very interesting. I think the old Shen family is going to sell their house and land. This is great. God is really wise. They will also be without houses and land!"

In the main room, Old Man Shen was so angry at Shen Mingkuan that his blood rushed to his head and he felt dizzy.

He lost his balance and took a few steps back. Seeing Shen Mingkuan holding his feet tightly, he kicked Shen Mingkuan away in anger and pointed at him with trembling fingers, feeling extremely disappointed.

"Shen Mingkuan, you have read the sage books for so many years in vain. What did I teach you since you were a child? I taught you to be a decent person and not to indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. But you took the family money to gamble in the county town. Are you worthy of us?"

Shen Mingkuan was kicked out of the main room by Old Man Shen. The kick was quite strong and Shen Mingkuan suffered internal injuries. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Upon seeing this, the scar-faced leader immediately led his men to capture Shen Mingkuan and threatened the Shen family:

"If you don't pay back the money, we'll take him away. Oh, he alone is not enough to pay off the debt. And there are women. Tsk tsk, there are too few women in the old Shen family. If the two little girls were sold to a brothel, they would be worth some money."

He looked at Su with lustful eyes, clicked his tongue twice, and glanced at Su with lustful eyes.

"This young woman is good-looking, very pretty! Tsk tsk, the old Shen family actually has such a beautiful woman. Well, it would be nice to sell her to a wealthy family as a concubine."

Shen Mingzhu was angry, "Who are you going to sell?"

Without waiting for Scarface to answer, Shen Mingzhu rushed out at the speed of wind and punched Scarface. Scarface blocked his punch with his hand, and with a click, the bone broke.
