Shen Lao Er felt that the 35 taels should not be counted on his own head, and wanted to go to the Yamen to sue, saying that the debt should not be counted on him at all, but he couldn't even enter the Yamen Gate: He didn't have a reputation. Yes, besides, the county magistrate hates these gamblers the most. From the county magistrate's point of view, the root of this case lies in the fact that Shen Laoer himself was not a righteous person and entered the gambling house.Even though there are often people in the casino to lure customers to gamble and borrow money, but if you have never entered the casino by yourself, how can they have the opportunity to set up a trap for you?

Therefore, the county magistrate is reluctant to take this troubled water for cases related to gambling houses.

The people in the gambling shop were still a little bit considerate, seeing that Shen Lao Er didn't even touch the door of the yamen, and understood what your lord meant, so they arrested Shen Lao Er and properly settled the blame on him.

So Shen Laoer originally only lost 15 taels of silver in the bet, but now he has to pay the gambling house 50 taels of silver.If it is said that 15 taels of silver can barely be made up by his family, 50 taels of silver is really going to sell iron, house and land!

It's just that someone just died, and their gambling shop was ranked in front of the county magistrate, and they didn't dare to do such eye-catching things like chopping off people's hands and feet for a while. Scarface brought his younger brother here several times, and the second elder of the Shen family The things were well hidden, and they didn't find out where the Shen family's house deed was.

Scarface was in a bad mood thinking about it, and kicked Shen Laoer several times.If it weren't for this bastard, they wouldn't have killed someone, wouldn't have been targeted by the magistrate, and it wouldn't be so troublesome to pay for it!How can these old men have the spare time to fight with these villagers?

Several of Scarface's men came out of the house, holding a few pieces of cloth, some eggs, and some not-so-worthy guys, Shier, and their faces were also very ugly: "Brother, these two old things are hidden It's really strict!" After several visits, the things found were less and less, and they were not enough for the feet of the brothers.

Scarface wasn't surprised either, they had come several times, but they couldn't find the property deed of the Shen family.But this matter can't be left alone, Scarface turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Shen's second wife and child who were trembling aside.

Shen's second daughter-in-law, Wei Shi, was stared at by him, as if stung by his gaze, she covered her face with a scream.

Scarface: "..." His face, which was originally not kind, turned darker.

This woman is an old lady, why do you think so?His Grandpa Scar's eyesight would be so bad? ?

Not wanting to take another look at that self-righteous woman, Scarface gave his subordinates a wink, and several of them immediately stepped forward and dragged the children around Webster over.Wei Shi didn't realize it for a while. He thought that these people had taken a fancy to his beauty... He didn't realize it until the child was taken away, and it was too late to snatch the child.

The three children cried and struggled to call their mothers.

Scarface knelt down and looked at Shen Lao Er's shocked face, and said with a sneer: "Thinking that I can't cure you if you make trouble with the county magistrate? Do you think you are your elder brother who is a scholar, and it is worth the county magistrate's trouble? Repaying debts is justified, even if I can't chop off your hands and feet and kill you, I still have ways to deal with you!"

He straightened up and glanced at the elders of the Shen family who came out of the house, and said in a loud voice: "The Shen family owes us 50 taels of silver to the gambling shop, and these three children are worth ten taels, and there is still a difference of 40 taels. I will come back in three days. If you can’t afford the money, you will sell your two eldest sons and your wife together!”

Scarface looked at Wei Shi, although she is already a middle-aged lady, but she can sell it for two or three taels in that kind of low-end kiln.

But Webster was already panicked, "No, sir, you can't sell my son! Our family, our family has money and land! The head of the family, father and mother, they are going to sell the dog, father and mother , take the money! Father, mother, the son of a bitch is the root of the old Shen family!"

She gave birth to three sons, the eldest and the second are not very smart, but the youngest son, Goudan, is very clever.Webster has always envied his elder brother's status as a scholar, and has always hoped that his youngest son can also change the lintel of his family.Now when she heard that Scarface was going to sell her children to pay off the debt, she couldn't help crying, and begged the second elder of the Shen family for money.

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen watched at the door of the main room, pursed their lips, and finally shrank back.It doesn't matter if they are hard-hearted or bold, in fact, they don't believe that people in gambling shops really dare to chop off people's hands and feet and sell their children. .Afraid, that is, afraid that Scarface would even beat the two of them too old.These people's hearts are dark, and they only look for places that cannot be seen to beat. It doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, but the pain is unbearable.The second son has suffered it several times. They are both old bones, but they can't stand the pain.

After all, it was because the old couple had stayed in the village all their lives, with limited knowledge and ignorant boldness.

But Shen Laoer is different, Shen Laoer has been in and out of the gambling shop secretly for some time, he has heard and even seen the people in the gambling shop chopping people's fingers, he has no doubts about the authenticity of Scarface's statement that he will sell his children.Shen Er Er sat on the ground, rushed over to hold Scar's leg for a long time, and begged: "Master, give me another three... no, five days, I will definitely collect enough money in five days, sir!"

Scarface was actually waiting for this sentence, it was useless for him to want Shen Laoer's children, even if he sold them, they would be far from the money owed by Shen Laoer, and the Shen family seemed to be able to Pay back the money.

When Boss Shen was alive, he paid tribute to the second child and two taels of silver pension money every year.The Shen family still has ten mu of land, of which three mu of paddy fields are fertile land, which can be sold for seven taels of silver per mu, and seven mu of dry land is Susukida, which can be sold for three taels of silver per mu.Just by selling the land, you can pay it back. Besides, the two main rooms of the Shen family's old house are made of green bricks, but unfortunately the roof is made of straw, so they can be sold for four or five taels.

He has been collecting bills for so many years, and he has met all kinds of people. It is really rare for the second elder of the Shen family to be so cruel and stingy, and his grandson doesn't even care about it.

Scarface nodded, "I will trust you again, if you don't get the money after five days, I will sell your whole family!"

Shen Laoer nodded in a hurry, and was about to take his child back, but Dao Scarface said: "Your son and daughter, I will take care of you first, and bring them here after five days, and pay the money with one hand and others, don't think about it." Playing tricks with me." Of course, those egg cloth heads were taken away as "interest" as usual.

Shen Laoer froze, he really thought about taking the children to hide... At this moment, he couldn't think about it anymore, he could only watch the three children being taken away by Scarface, crying.Shen Lao Er and Wei Shi supported each other to get up, cried and went to the main room: "Father and mother, you can't just watch Goudan being sold by them, Goudan is your grandson!"

"They really took Goudan away?" Old man Shen didn't expect that these people would really dare to take away their own children.Forget about those two girls, Goudan is the root of his old Shen family, and smart, and in their hearts, he is the next scholar.Now the original talented man in the family was exhausted by Shen Laoer, and this good seedling was arrested by the gambling house again. Old Shen was so angry that he went up and gave Shen Laoer a kick: "It's so troublesome today, who is to blame?! It's not that you can't control it, your elder brother will die? The dog egg will be taken away?!"

The death of Boss Shen means that the big family's filial piety of two taels of silver a year is gone, and the prestige of their talented parents-in-law is gone, and now they are required to pay to pay off their gambling debts, and Old Shen's heart is bleeding.Shen Laoer was kicked, but he didn't hide, so he hugged his father's leg and cried.The old man Shen was so annoyed by him that he couldn't help it, he sighed and thought for a while: "Your elder brother was born and raised by our old couple. He is gone, and the money should be given to me and your mother. How could it be given to Liu and his wife?" Brother Mu?! Go and ask Brother Mu for the silver."

With the 30 taels of silver, the family can gather together again, and the boss's filial piety in the past years is still left... Old man Shen's eyes fell on Wei Shi, he couldn't believe that Wei Shi didn't have money in his hand!

Webster's trembling was caused by Old Man Shen's gaze.She does have a little private money in her hand, which she has saved through hard work over the years, and she wants to add makeup to her eldest daughter when she talks about her marriage.But no matter how reluctant, now I have to take it out for my own children.

Shen Laoer thought about Shen Mu's arrogance today, and felt that this matter was difficult to handle: "Father, you have also seen that Brother Mu doesn't take us seriously at all, and uncle backs him up." , can he give us the money?"
