During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"You don't know, there are several groups of people in here!" said the person in front, "They are looting inside right now!"
"Robbery?"
"Yeah, grab whatever you see. You can sell it for some money anyway. We've come all the way here, so we can't go back empty-handed, right?"
"How much money does Wang Fugui owe outside?" Ye Juan'er was shocked when she heard it.
"From what I heard, it's at least this number." The man in front gestured with his palm.
"Fifty taels is so much?" Ye Juan'er was shocked.
"Who said fifty taels?" the person in front said with some dissatisfaction, "His family runs a grocery store after all, so it's not like they can't even come up with fifty yuan.
"All together, it's more than five hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels?" Ye Juan'er raised her voice in fear. "He owes so much money? No wonder he's desperate!"
"What do you think? Gambling isn't a good thing. You can easily lose everything." The man in front sighed and said, "But the five hundred taels he mentioned probably doesn't refer to the principal. I guess it must have accumulated so much by interest."
"That's really scary!" Ye Juan'er raised her hand and patted her chest, thinking that she would have to go back to the city to remind her son that gambling is absolutely forbidden!
"It's a good thing Wang Fugui's parents passed away early, otherwise they would have fainted from fear when they heard that their son owed so much debt."
As they were talking outside, they suddenly heard a child crying like crazy from inside. It was the voice of Wang Fugui and Liu's daughter Xiaoyue.
"Mom, I don't want to leave. Please let me go. I don't want to go with you..."
"Yue'er, let my daughter go!" Liu also cried, "Are you trying to force her to death?
"I've already told you all, I had no idea about the debts he owed from gambling. You..."
"Who cares if you know it or not? Your husband owes a debt and can't pay it back. As his wife, along with your two children, you have to pay it back for him!
"Your daughter can still be sold for some money to help with our immediate needs!"
When they heard that the child was going to be taken away, the people watching outside could no longer bear to listen.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, the child is only a little old, why go after him?
"That's right, Yue'er is only a little girl, how could you have the heart to do that to her?"
"You loan sharks are making money that will destroy your entire family, yet you still do things like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?"
Although many people came to collect debts, they were divided into several groups and were competitors to each other, so it was simply a pipe dream to expect them to work together.
Another thing is that no matter how many people come to collect debts, they are definitely not as many as the villagers.
So when the villagers were filled with righteous indignation, the debt collectors did not dare to confront the entire Rongxi village directly.
So he had to let go of Yue'er's hand.
Liu pulled her daughter back into her arms and cried loudly while holding her.
Yue'er seemed to be frightened and leaned blankly in Liu's arms, unable to even cry.
Soon, the debt collectors began to leave one after another with the stolen items.
Nothing was left out that could be taken away.
By the time everyone had left and only Liu and the children were left, the house was completely bare.
Ye Juan'er looked at the current state of Wang Fugui's house, which was no longer the appearance of the grocery store owner in the past, and she sighed in her heart.
Wang Guangping stepped forward and said, "Alright, alright, stop looking. Except for those who want to donate money or things, everyone else can go away!"
He had a drink with Old Cen at noon and was about to take a rest when he heard that something had happened in the village and hurried over.
When everyone heard that they were asked to donate money and supplies, they all dispersed.
If it's something like an elderly person being sick or a child being injured, we're all from the same village, so it's normal to help out.
But who would dare to go out and gamble and borrow money at high interest rates?
That's a bottomless pit!
Wang Guangping sighed when he saw this, took out a small string of copper coins and handed it to Liu, saying, "This matter should be resolved as soon as possible. No one can stand it if people keep coming to the village to cause trouble like this!
After hearing this, Liu's tears, which had just been held back, immediately rolled down again like beads from a broken string.
She grabbed Wang Guangping's hand and begged, crying, "Village head, please don't leave. Can you help us? Can you help us?"
"Rich wife, it's not that I don't want to help, it's mainly because no one dares to get involved in matters like yours!" Wang Guangping sighed, "I can only ask the villagers to come and help you boost your reputation because our two families are somewhat related."
