"What do you mean, where do I get it from? Aunt Big Mouth, didn't you give me those few hundred taels? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

After Lin Bao finished speaking, his face became serious, as if he would beat up Li Dazui immediately if he dared to say no.

Li Dazui was stunned by what he said, and not only was Li Dazui stunned, but the people watching the show outside were also stunned.

Everyone in Gujia Village knows what kind of situation Li Dazui's family is in.

How could a family that barely has enough to eat and constantly begs for money from others possibly produce several hundred taels of silver?

Li Dazui couldn't even come up with a few hundred copper coins, so how could he possibly come up with a few hundred taels of silver?

"Hey Lin Laosan, are you mistaken? How could Li Dazui possibly give you several hundred taels of silver?"

Some people outside, not understanding, asked directly, while others, also wanting to know, stared intently at Lin Bao, eager to hear his answer.

Lin Bao casually waved the two pieces of paper in his hand: "If I'm not mistaken, Aunt Big Mouth is going to give me several hundred taels of silver."

"Why is that? Why did she give you several hundred taels of silver? Is it because she borrowed several hundred taels of silver from you?"

Aside from having borrowed money, they really couldn't figure out why.

Upon hearing that he had borrowed several hundred taels of silver, Li Dazui snapped out of his daze: "Get lost, get lost, don't talk nonsense here. When did I borrow any silver?"

"Lin Laosan, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're a bully. When did I ever lend you money, or owe you hundreds of taels of silver?"

Seeing Li Dazui jumping up and down, Lin Bao found it amusing, and then looked at the two pieces of paper in his hand.

"That's what you just said, and you've already forgotten it. It seems Aunt Big Mouth is just trying to renege on her debt!"

"Oh dear, several hundred taels of silver is not a few copper coins. Otherwise, I would have just let it go. But since Aunt Big Mouth wants to go back on her word, then let's go to the yamen!"

"Let's leave this matter to the officials. I believe they will not favor either side."

Hearing that she was going to see the authorities, Li Dazui was still a little scared. She glared at Lin Bao with her neck stiff and said, "Don't try to scare me with the threat of reporting to the authorities. I was scared too. I said I don't owe you anything, and I don't owe you anything."

"No, we're going to report this to the authorities. It's written in black and white, and you even drew your seal on it. If you still won't admit it, who will dare to buy your products or your people in the future?"

Speaking of the two pieces of paper, Lin Bao picked them up and waved them: "Fellow villagers, look here. It says in black and white that the Hua family sold their daughter to the Gu family and severed all ties with them, with no intention of going back on their word."

"If you renege on the agreement, you will have to compensate the Gu family for their losses ten million times over; if you breach the contract, you will have to pay an additional one hundred taels of silver to the Gu family..."

Lin Bao read the contents of the document aloud, and everyone inside and outside heard it. Only then did Li Dazui remember what he had done before.

But she stubbornly denied it: "Impossible, this isn't it, this has nothing to do with me, I never said anything like that, you must have written this down, you made it all up..."

"Hey Li Dazui, how can you lie through your teeth? There's your fingerprint on it, you pressed your fingerprint on it yourself, and you've already forgotten that?"

Someone outside with sharp eyes immediately spotted the red handprint and heard Lin Bao read out the contents of the handprint.

Several people remembered the scene they had witnessed at the Hua family's house.

But Li Dazui refused to admit it no matter what, saying that the text was fake, or that Lin Bao was just taking advantage of their illiteracy and reading it randomly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone in the crowd outside shouted "Gu Xuewen!" and Gu Xuewen, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly became the center of attention.

Lin Bao laughed when he saw this: "Alright, didn't you say I was talking nonsense? Here comes a scholar, let's have this scholar read what's written here to us."

Gu Xuewen really didn't want to read it aloud, but someone pushed him out, and he had no choice but to come to the courtyard and read out the contents of the two papers.

When everyone heard that Gu Xuewen read out the same thing as Lin Bao had read out before, they all looked at Li Dazui.

Even so, Li Dazui still refused to acknowledge the contents of the document, and she pointed directly at Gu Xuewen.

“Da Xiucai is from the Gu family. Da Xiucai and Gu Dachui are cousins ​​and relatives. Of course he would help Gu Dachui.”

Lin Bao hadn't expected this crazy woman to have such a brain, to be able to think of such a thing, but what could he do!

When someone is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause them to get stuck in their teeth, let alone someone like Li Dazui.

She had just finished speaking when Lin Bao spotted Gu Wen in the crowd.

He called the person in, then pointed at Gu Wen: "Auntie Big Mouth, look carefully, this is not Gu Dachui's biological brother, he is the village chief's good seedling."

“If he reads it wrong, then the village chief has raised him for nothing all these years.”

These words made Gu Wen break out in a cold sweat. He felt that if he misread it or read it differently from them, his father would definitely beat him to death when he got home.

After Lin Bao finished speaking, he handed the paper to Gu Wen, who opened it and read its contents aloud.

What he read aloud was exactly the same as what Gu Xuewen read aloud, and the way people outside looked at Li Dazui changed after hearing it.

Facts are facts, and no amount of repetition can change them. Li Dazui looked at Lin Bao with trembling eyes, and then at Hua Ni, who was being protected by Gu Dachui.

I don't know if it was because I got cold or because my mental endurance reached its limit, but then everything went black, my eyes closed, and I collapsed to the ground.

The farce ended there. Hua Ni stood in the yard watching them carry Li Dazui away. She didn't say a word or ask a single question. She just watched them until they carried him away without moving an inch.

"How could I have such a mother? How could I have been born into such a family?"

No one can choose their birth, but you can choose your future.

"You can't choose the first half of your life, so choose the second half well. If you live a good second half, the pain of the first half will eventually be forgotten."

Huani turned to look at Lin Cai. Since coming to the Gu family, she had heard many things she had never heard before.

Having seen many things she had never encountered before, she suddenly smiled and said, "You're right. The first half of my life is over, and I should live the second half well too."
