After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

After hearing what Li Fusheng said, Li Shen wanted to die. He had already spent more than thirty taels of silver, and the remaining ten taels were still in the rented house in the next county. Li Shen knelt in front of Li Fusheng, hugged Li Fusheng's thighs and begged Li Fusheng to let him go.

Li Fusheng impatiently kicked Li Shen away and said, "You have two days to pay back the fifty taels of silver, or you'll be in trouble."

Li Shen was terrified and said quickly, "Manager Li, I only have a dozen or so taels of silver left, and it's still in the house I rent in the next county. Do you think this is okay? I'll go get it back for you right away, and then find a way to raise the rest of the money."

"Bah, don't think I don't know what you are planning, Zhang San. Take him with you to the next county to get the silver. Bring him back immediately after getting the silver. Don't let him run away." Li Fusheng said.

"Yes." After hearing the order, Li Fusheng's men immediately took Li Shen to the rented house in the next county and asked Li Shen to hand over the silver. Li Shen hesitated and searched everywhere in the room, trying to find a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, several people saw through his intention and beat him again. Li Shen then became obedient and took out the eighteen taels of silver hidden in a small hole on the wall behind a cabinet and handed it to them.

After getting the silver, the men hurriedly took Li Shen back to Li Fusheng. "Tell me, how are you going to pay back the remaining silver?" Li Fusheng took a sip of the tea in his hand and asked Li Shen slowly.

Li Shen thought about it over and over but could not come up with a solution. Finally, he had no choice but to agree to take them back to Lijia Village tomorrow to ask his family for money.

The next morning, Li Fusheng brought a group of his men and took Li Shen to Lijia Village, and went directly to the old house of the Li family. Li Lin from the second house was about to go out to chat with her old sisters, but as soon as she reached the door, she ran into Li Fusheng and his group of angry people. Li Lin was so scared that she retreated inside and closed the door.

Seeing this, Li Fusheng quickly signaled to one of his men to knock on the door. The man immediately went up and banged on the door, shouting, "Open the door! Open the door! Li Shen owes money to our shopkeeper. Let his family come out and pay him back!"

Inside the door, Li Lin was extremely panicked, but when she heard that they were looking for the eldest wife, she felt much more at ease.

He turned around and opened the door again. When the others in the room heard the knock on the door, they all came out. Looking at the huge group of people who had just broken in, Su was the first to step forward and ask, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into our house for no reason?"

"For no reason?" Li Fusheng burst into laughter after hearing what Su said, "Bring the person up to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his men brought Li Shen, who was beaten black and blue, to the Su family. The people from the first house didn't recognize him at first. It was only when Li Shen called Su that the family saw that it was Li Shen who worked in the restaurant in the town.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, you have to save me." Li Shen cried with tears and snot.

When Li Fang saw her little son being beaten like this, she felt heartbroken.

Li Jiang frowned upon seeing this, stepped forward, and asked with a bow, "Sir, what should I address you as?"

"Just call me Shopkeeper Li." Li Fusheng responded.

"May I ask, Shopkeeper Li, how much money does my son Li Shen owe you that you have to come all the way home with such a large force?"

Li Fusheng smiled contemptuously and said slowly, "I asked Li Shen to help me with something. Not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also took thirty-two taels of silver from me. Now I should be able to ask him for it back. Today I am just here to ask for an explanation. I hope you can give me a reasonable solution."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiang remained calm despite his anger. He turned to look at Li Shen, his eyes filled with both reproach and helplessness. "Shen'er, how could you do such a thing? You're well aware of our family's situation. How could you so easily owe such a huge sum of money?"

Li Shen knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably: "Dad, I was confused for a moment. I wanted to take this money to the gambling house to make more money, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

"Oh, this wasteful thing, thirty-two taels of silver, even if I sell my old wife, I can't get it out?" Su sat on the ground and started to make a fuss while crying.

The cries attracted the villagers to watch. Everyone was thinking, "This Li family is really something. There's endless excitement every day." Everyone watched and discussed.

Li Fusheng was not afraid of Su's ruffian behavior at all. It was a joke that he, a shrewd man who had seen all kinds of people, would be afraid of an old woman like Su. He immediately ordered his men to go in and search.

Seeing that Li Fusheng was actually trying to force his way in to search, Li Jiang's face instantly turned ashen. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Manager Li, although our Li family is not wealthy, we are a family that values propriety, righteousness, and integrity. You brought so many people with you today, barging into my house without regard for our relationship, and even trying to forcibly search the house. If this gets out, it will probably be bad for our Li family's reputation, right?"

Li Fusheng sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Reputation? Li Jiang, your son owes a debt and still has the nerve to mention reputation to me? If I can't get the money today, not only will I take your family's reputation, but also your house as payment!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Li family members changed drastically. Li Fangshi was so anxious that tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She grabbed Li Shen's arm and sobbed, "How could you, such a useless child, get into such trouble?"

Just as tensions were rising, the village chief stepped out from the crowd. He coughed lightly and said slowly, "Manager Li, I'm Li Qingde, the village chief of Lijia Village. I'd like to ask if you could, for my sake, allow the Li family to chip in the money first. We can pay back as much as we can, and we can discuss the rest later. How do you think?"

Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes and sized up Li Qingde, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he nodded, agreeing to the village chief's proposal. "Okay, I'll give you a favor. But I don't have that much time to wait. I want the money within three days, or else, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, Li Fusheng waved his hand and left with his men, leaving everyone in the Li family looking at each other in bewilderment, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
