The wood mage and the native brother

"grandmother!"

Ji Deng cried out, and was pushed and shoved out of the courtyard by Mrs. Fang, her little face was full of tears.

"mother!"

Fang Shi and Ji Jiang saw it, and rushed to stop it.

"I haven't spoken clearly yet, let's talk when I speak clearly! No matter what happens, I can't drive people out!"

Mrs. Xu stood where she was and advised,

"Yes, mother, let Brother Deng explain clearly first, maybe there is something unspeakable."

Ji Jiang has been in the field for so many years, and he has a lot of strength in his hands, so he managed to stop Mrs. Fang.Granny Fang stared at Ji Deng resentfully,

"Then you tell me, don't come into our house if you don't know how ugly Yinmao is!"

Xu said from the side,

"Brother Deng, what's going on? Why did A Nuo lose money when he was doing well? Tell me in detail."

How can such a wealthy young man lose as soon as he says he loses, and even pay 30 taels.Mrs. Xu couldn't help being suspicious. Could it be that Fei Nuo didn't want to give them any more money, so he encouraged Brother Deng to pretend to be poor to deceive people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wear the old clothes from Ji's house.

Xu glanced at the sackcloth on Ji Deng's body indiscriminately.

Ji Deng wiped away the tear stains on his face, then sobbed and said,

"Just, I was cheated when I was running a business... The things I got back were worthless... I couldn't sell them, but I lost money... But I made an agreement with the store to deliver the goods on time... Now I can't deliver the goods... You have to pay 30 taels of silver, otherwise the house will be taken away..."

Ji Deng lowered his head, so that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

When Fang heard this, he immediately cursed,

"Damn stuff, selling fake fakes! See if it's killing people! That store is not a good thing, and it's not A Nuo's fault, so why should he pay for it! You should go to that profiteer !"

Granny Fang stared and scolded,

"Whoever made it, now people want that Fei to pay! Now, you all heard clearly, it's because they don't have eyes, and it has nothing to do with my family. Tell him not to leave this door today." Come in!"

Obediently! 30 taels of silver!It's enough to pay Ji Hai three more exams!What a loser!There is also a dead star!

Old lady Fang stared at Ji Deng with a fierce look on her face.

Ji Deng just lowered his head even lower.

Mrs. Xu is not as easy to fool as Mrs. Fang, she grasped the loopholes in her words and asked,

"What did you buy and sell? What did you get back? Which shop did you sign the contract with? What about the Phino people? Could it be that you have no money at all and you want to come back and borrow it?"

A series of questions were thrown one after another, not to mention Ji Deng, even Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang were a little dizzy.

Ji Deng's faltering explanation,

"It's a spice, mid-grade musk...the one I bought back was the lowest-grade, and it's only worth the usual money..."

Xu asked again,

"Where's Fei Nuo? Why did you come back alone?"

Ji Deng said vaguely,

"He also went to borrow money from colleagues, but he still doesn't know if he can borrow it or not."

Granny Fang slapped her thigh, and said in hatred,

"Don't talk about 30 taels, I can't even get three taels, three guans, and three wen. If you want to get the reputation of 'killing your grandmother', you can just sit here now!"

Fang stopped Granny Fang, but also frowned.Although she hated Mrs. Xu, what Mrs. Xu said was not unreasonable.After such a big incident happened, why did Fei Nuo ask Brother Deng to come back alone?The Fang family doesn't believe Ji Deng's reasoning, it's fine to go to other people's house, and only let Ji Deng go back to Ji's house.

Could it be... run away?

Fang's heart turned a hundred times, but she didn't have a good guess.

Xu also had the same idea, but he didn't see the facts, everything was speculation.So he sent Ji Deng out of the door with a smile on his face, and turned a blind eye to Ji Deng's repeated hesitation and pleading.

Although Fang wanted to keep him, but because Mrs. Fang was watching, she had no choice but to watch Ji Deng leave, secretly thinking about going to the county to find Ji Deng another day.

When Ji Hai and Ji Shuo came back in the evening, Mrs. Xu told them what happened today.No, Ji Shuo shouted in surprise,

"Mom! Don't borrow it!"

Ji Hai and his wife turned to look at him,

"Why, do you know the inside story?"

Ji Shuo faltered and said vaguely,

"I saw him sneaking around in the county two days ago, so I followed him and found him in the "Xianheng Casino"! Later, I bumped into him a few times, and I saw him at the door of the pawnshop!"

Saying that, Ji Shuo slapped the table,

"He must have lost a lot of money in gambling and owed a lot of money, pawned things and couldn't pay off the gambling debt, so he came back to borrow money from us! Then Lao Shizi lost money in business is definitely an excuse! Mother, you must not borrow money! How can there be an end to this gambling debt!"

Hearing such news, Ji Hai didn't want to think about how Ji Shuo could meet Ji Deng a few blocks away when he was in the school all day long, but he just raised his eyebrows and cried inwardly.

"If it's as A Shuo said, this money really can't be borrowed! If thugs come around our house and force us to pay back the money, it will be a disaster!"

Xu also stroked her chest and nodded heavily.

If the word "gambling" is touched in this matter, it will not end well.The son of the family at the head of the village got into bad habits when he was working in the county two years ago. He became popular in the gambling house, but owed a huge sum of money. Where did the farmers in the village get so much money to pay him back.In the end, the thugs in the gambling house came to the village and chopped off the young man's hand before giving up.

There was a lot of noise about this matter, and there was no one in the village who didn't know about it.Could it be that he used this as a warning to restrain his own children.

Now if Brother Deng is really involved in gambling, it's too late for them to draw a line with Brother Deng, so why would they pay off his debts, let alone 30 taels of silver!

But Mrs. Xu frowned suddenly, thinking of another speculation,

"Wait, this brother Deng won't get into it sooner or later, why did he get into gambling not long after he came back? Are you saying that he and that young man made a lot of money and wanted to spend it on their own, so they made this appearance on purpose? Let's see? Fino is so rich, can't he afford 30 taels?"

Ji Shuo didn't believe it,

"If you get involved in gambling, no amount of money will be in vain."

Then he rolled his eyes, and Ji Shuo guessed again,

"Didn't Fei Nuo come back with him today? Maybe he owed gambling debts and didn't let Fei Nuo know about it. He wanted to close the deficit before Fei Nuo found out—this is a good idea."

"Then what about the worst?"

Xu asked.

"That's why even Fei Nuo can't pay the money. Seeing that Brother Deng dares to tease the tiger with the surname Fei, I'm afraid it makes sense!"

Ji Shuo's face is serious, and he is obviously convinced of his guess.

"This--"

Xu was too frightened to speak clearly.From her point of view, Fei Nuo is already extremely wealthy, and even Fei Nuo can't pay off the debt, how much money does that have to be? !

Xu looked at Ji Hai helplessly.

Ji Hai stood up impatiently and paced back and forth in the room.

No matter what Ji Shuo said or what Xu said, each has its own reasons.

This time Qiu Wei lost, he still thought about fighting again in three years, if he had no choice, he really wanted to build a good relationship with Fei Nuo.The days when he didn't have to worry about money really made Ji Hai extremely happy, how could he want to go back to the previous poor situation.

But when he thought of those vicious and strong thugs, Ji Hai couldn't help but flinch.

"so…"

Ji Hai stroked his beard and told Xu,

"Go to the county tomorrow, inquire about his family's affairs, see what's going on, and make plans when you come back."

Mrs. Xu nodded heavily and replied,

"Hey!"

So the next day, Mrs. Xu went out with Ji Hai and the other three early in the morning, and only left in the county town.

"Be careful."

Ji Hai instructed.

"got it."

Mrs. Xu responded carefully, and then put on a hood to cover her face and walked all the way to Dahuai Hutong—this cloak was still made of the material that Fei Nuo bought back at the beginning, I didn't want to wear it here for the first time.

Simply because it was cold, there were not a few people wearing cloaks on the street, and Mrs. Xu was not conspicuous. She arrived at Dahuai Hutong smoothly, and as soon as she entered, she saw a few children walking out in groups.The leader is Ji Xiaomei who I haven't seen for a long time!

Surprised, Xu stretched out her hand and tugged on the hood to hide her face a bit more.Pretending to be casually looking at the small stall at the entrance of the alley, but listening to the movement inside with sharp ears.

The young man of the family asked Ji Xiaomei,

"Little sister, why are you wearing a linen shirt recently? Where's your cotton coat?"

Mrs. Xu listened attentively to Ji Xiaomei's crisp words,

"My brother said to put it away for me and wear it next year."

"Oh--"

The little man obviously couldn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly put this matter behind him.A group of friends laughed and ran out of the alley to chase after him.

Xu's eyes hidden under the hood rolled.

When the weather turned cold, I put away the cotton clothes and refused to wear them...

I'm afraid it was received in the pawnshop.

Xu's heart was confirmed, and he was about to go to explore again, when he saw a tall and strong man hurriedly passed him into the alley, and knocked on the door of Ji Deng's house with "bang bang bang".

"Is there anyone?! Fino! Is Fino here?!"

Hearing a "squeak", she leaned out from the door, and Mrs. Xu took a closer look, who is it not Ji Deng? !

Mrs. Xu secretly felt that it was not good, and the foot she had stepped on stopped in place again, and continued to look carefully at it with a hairpin.

"Brother, let's delay for two more days, these two days are really not enough, let's delay for another two days."

Just listen to Ji Deng pleading.

The man's voice was hoarse, like a bell,

"This can't be done! The shopkeeper is urging, and you have been delaying for half a month. If this continues, the shopkeeper will come in person! Otherwise, you will talk to him in person!"

"Can not be done,"

Ji Deng's voice seemed to be faintly crying,

"It is really……"

Because the voice behind was too low, Xu couldn't hear clearly even with his toes up and his ears upright. He could only vaguely hear something like "house" or "half pass".

But after some entanglement, it seemed that the two hadn't reached an agreement, the man waved his hands fiercely and walked out of the alley.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but flinched, screaming inwardly.

Look at this, it's clear that a debt collector has come to the door!Nine out of ten what Ji Shuo said is that he has become addicted to gambling as expected, but it is not Ji Deng but Fei Nuo!No wonder he went home dressed in rags, just to cheat money to pay off his gambling debts!

These two black-hearted ones!

Xu secretly scolded Fei Nuo and the two in her heart, put down the hairpin and hurried to the direction of the school.

She has to tell Ji Hai and Ji Lao Xiucai about this matter quickly!To read novels on m.yanqing-888.net, please log in to Romance 888
