Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

"What happened back there?" Lu Jiu heard the noisy crying coming from behind.

Ali glanced behind him and replied, "Master, it seems that the younger brother of Yuan's daughter-in-law owed money at the casino and is now stopping the carriage to ask for help."

Every family has its own problems, and I understand that.

Lu Jiu said: "Then wait until they are resolved before setting off."

Zhang Tiezhu hugged the third brother's wife's thighs and begged, "Sister, sister, can you bear to watch me get my hands chopped off? Ah?"

"I'm the only one left at home. When my parents passed away, didn't you promise them to take good care of me? If my hand is stomped on, I won't be able to marry and I won't be able to carry on the family line!"

Zhang Tiezhu's words had a hold on the third son's wife. She couldn't bear to see the only son of the Zhang family die without descendants.

When Zhang's parents were alive, their biggest wish was that Zhang Tiezhu could get married and carry on the family line. For this idea, they starved to death in the house during the three years of drought, just to save food so that the only son of the Zhang family could pass on the Zhang family.

The third son's wife was completely brainwashed by her parents and there was no way she could be saved.

With a thud, he knelt in front of Old Lady Liu and begged, "Mom, can you give me ten taels of silver to save my brother? I promise he won't gamble again!"

Old Mrs. Liu was very angry. What the hell was going on?

He wanted to ignore the matter, but he was afraid that Zhang Tiezhu would offend the important person and delay his trip.

After much thought, I decided to spend money to buy peace of mind.

"I can give you ten taels of silver, but I need a written agreement! You must cut off all ties with your brother!"

The third son’s wife was dumbfounded. What did her mother mean by this? Asking her to cut off contact with her brother wasn’t going against her parents’ wishes!

"...Mom, what do you mean?"

The third son's wife felt that it was only natural to take out ten taels of silver from the five hundred taels of silver notes her family had just received.

But she forgot, why should people spend ten taels of silver to save an unrelated blood-sucking insect that was sucking blood from her?

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Old Lady Liu snorted coldly, "It's fine if we don't have a written agreement. Let the third son write a letter of divorce. I won't ask you how much you've given to your family since you and the third son were married. But now is the time to escape famine, and our Yuan family will absolutely not allow anyone to hold us back!"

She naturally had her own considerations for letting the third son's wife break off her relationship with Zhang Tiezhu. She knew very well what kind of person Zhang Tiezhu was. He was idle, a thief, and a gambler. She always felt uneasy following them all the way.

Look, as soon as he entered the city, he slipped into the casino and owed ten taels!

Moreover, the bandits had specifically targeted their family that time, and Old Lady Liu had always felt that Zhang Tiezhu had something to do with it. And Zhang Tiezhu was certainly capable of such a thing; he had once done something in the village that had defamed a young girl, and the young woman, unable to bear the public gossip, had hanged herself.

"You old witch, you just got five hundred taels of silver, and you only gave me ten taels to save me. What's wrong with that? My sister is the daughter-in-law of your Yuan family, she also has a share of the five hundred taels of silver!"

Zhang Tiezhu looked at Old Lady Liu with anger, fully demonstrating his spirit of being invincible if he was shameless.

The onlookers gasped. That was five hundred taels of silver!

The third son's wife quickly covered Zhang Tiezhu's mouth and said in a negotiating tone, "Mom, consider this ten taels of silver as a loan from me, okay?"

Then he looked at Yuan Laosan with tears in his eyes and a pitiful expression.

The third son's wife is pretty, with willow-like eyebrows, a pair of eyes full of autumn water, and thin lips that are moist. She has an appearance that every man will like when he sees her.

Yuan Lao San fell in love with her in this way. In the past, when his wife showed this kind of expression, Yuan Lao San would have gone to plead for mercy immediately. However, during this period of time, it was rare that he did not give in to his wife.

".....Mom is right. If you really want to do this for the good of our Yuan family, then you should cut off all ties with your brother."

The third son’s wife was stunned and couldn’t believe that her husband didn’t plead for her.

Old Lady Liu laughed out of anger. The Yuan family just received 500 taels of silver notes and should use it to fill his hole?

"Since you are unwilling to accept the two conditions I proposed, then cut off your hand."

As he spoke, he looked at the tall, strong man with his upper body naked and said, "He is not from our Yuan family. I don't care what you do with him."

Seeing that he couldn't get the ten taels of silver back, the strong man showed a ferocious expression and kicked Zhang Tiezhu to the ground. "Looks like you have to leave one hand with me."

When borrowing money to sign a contract at a casino, the hard condition is that you have to leave a hand behind if you can't pay it back.

It was obvious that the strong man was very familiar with this job. Several thugs came up and held Zhang Tiezhu down.

Seeing that her brother's hand was about to be lost, the third daughter-in-law shouted, "Wait! I sign and I cut off all contact with my brother!"

What could she do? She couldn't just watch the only child of the Zhang family become a one-handed monster!

The burly man waved his hand, and several thugs let go of Zhang Tiezhu.

"Sister, are you really going to cut off all contact with me?...Didn't my parents ask you to take good care of me?" Zhang Tiezhu was crying so hard that his nose was bubbling.

The third son's wife turned away, unable to bear to look at Zhang Tiezhu. What could she do? If the Yuan family divorced her, would they get ten taels of silver?

"Fourth Brother, write a receipt and ask Third Brother's wife and Zhang Tiezhu to put their fingerprints on it." Old Lady Liu instructed Yuan Fourth Brother.

Soon, Yuan Lao Si finished writing the receipt and asked the two men to press their fingerprints. Then Old Lady Liu took the receipt and took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to the strong man, "Please make the trip."

After saying this, he didn't even look at the third son's wife and got on the carriage.

The third son’s wife wiped her tears and got on the ox cart.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Ali whipped the horse and the wheels started rolling.

As carriages passed by Zhang Tiezhu, he stared at his third son's wife with an unwilling look.

The situation just now did not affect Old Lady Liu's mood. She got on the carriage, held Yaoyao and played with her.

Along the way, Yaoyao's cheerful babbling and giggling voices could be heard from the carriage. The Yuan family members on the ox cart at the back all had smiles in their eyes as they looked at the carriage in front from which Yaoyao's laughter was coming.

Yaoyao raised her hand and tried hard to reach the chicken feather dangling in front of her, but she couldn't reach it after a long time. She was so angry that she wanted to turn over.

Unfortunately, she is very weak now. Even though she is a little Pixiu, she has to admit that she is just a human cub that is not even a month old.

She is not even a month old yet and cannot roll over.

Unable to even do such a simple action as turning over, Yaoyao was so angry that she cursed. You could tell how unpleasant the sound of her baby talk was from the sound of "ah ah ah ah" coming out of her mouth.

The person she scolded was none other than her Heavenly Father.

The little black head rested on its two front paws, and the dog made a "hehehe" sound from its mouth, as if it was laughing.

Old Lady Liu and the others didn't know what Yaoyao was mumbling, but they were surprised to see Xiao Hei's frivolous smile.

When did dogs learn to laugh?

Next, everyone noticed that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was faint thunder and lightning rolling in the clouds, as if it was about to strike at any time.

This is a sign of heavy rain!

Everyone quickened their pace and looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

Yaoyao was tired of scolding, so she closed her mouth and her mind wandered away.
