Chapter 442: Wrong words said

Is Zhang Xiangrong going to ask him for money?

Twenty-eight taels! Where does he get so much money?

Now, let alone twenty-eight taels, even if you ask him for twenty-eight cents, he wouldn't have enough money in his pocket.

Besides, if he really wanted twenty-eight taels of silver, would he have to come up with such a method and come here to do such a shameful thing?

Could it be that Zhang Xiangrong wanted to take advantage of this incident to bite him? No, he must not give Zhang Xiangrong any money, and he must not let him use any words to threaten him! "Brother, why do you have so much money?" Before Zhang Xiangrui could answer, Guo spoke first, "Where can we get so much money? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

"That's right, big brother. Forget about twenty-eight taels. I don't even have one tael of silver on me right now." Zhang Xiangrui also said, "Big brother, you know that my family is not well-off, but you specifically asked us for so much money. Why is that?"

"What you said is..."

Zhang Xiangrong raised his eyebrows, "You said before that even if the family is poor, you still have to honor mother and show your filial piety, but mother has spent so much money on medicine, and you don't want to pay, so do you want to honor mother or not?"

I said the wrong thing!

Zhang Xiangrui reacted and quickly explained, "Of course I want to show my filial respect, but you know, my family is really too poor, and I really can't afford it. It's not that I don't want to give."

"To be honest, big brother, we haven't eaten meat this month. Life is really hard..."

"That's not right." Cao frowned and said, "How can you support and honor mother if you live like this? If mother lives in your house, how will you pay for her medicine every month?"

"Could it be that you are planning to take Mom away first, regardless of whether you have money or not, and whether you can support her or not, and then ask us for money and food when the time comes?"

As soon as Cao finished speaking, those who were watching the fun widened their eyes. After a moment of silence, they couldn't help but start talking.

"That's right. Even though they are so poor, they are still trying to show their filial piety here. They want to take mom away from their elder brother and his wife who are living a good life. I think they are not showing filial piety, but waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of them."

"That's right. I can only say that this is the idea. This person is really, he said he wanted to be filial, but he didn't pay for the medicine. His family is not doing well, but he doesn't want to pay for anything. He still wants to gain fame. This person is really abominable."

"I'm afraid that's not all. They can also take the opportunity to ruin the reputation of my eldest brother and his wife's family, and threaten them at the same time, saying that if they don't help them in the future, they will continue to cause trouble. It seems that this couple also work for the shopkeeper Zhuang to earn money. They definitely don't want their business to be affected by this incident. Maybe they will just obey."

"We are brothers, but you scheme against me to this extent. You are worse than any other person. It's really shameful..."

The people watching the fun were talking about it, but they all agreed that Zhang Xiangrui and Guo were good-for-nothings.

Zhang Xiangrui suddenly understood at this time.

There is no such thing as dozens of taels of silver for medicine expenses, and there is no such thing as Liu still talking about medicine all the time. It is simply that Zhang Xiangrong and Cao set a trap for them.

Moreover, it was a pit that could be attacked or defended, so he couldn't gain any advantage anyway.

This Zhang Xiangrong is really abominable! Zhang Xiangrui was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Xiangrui's nose and shouted, "How can you be a big brother like you? You set a trap to pit your own brother?"

"You are doing this on purpose. You are beating around the bush and don't want us to fulfill our filial duty to our mother!"

"That's right. You asked for dozens of taels of silver right away. No matter how filial a person is, he would be scared away by you." Guo echoed from the side.

"You mean, if I give a little less, I can show my filial piety?" Zhang Xiangrong touched his nose and said, "How about this, ten taels of silver will do."

"Not a penny!" Guo was so angry at Zhang Xiangrong that she retorted without hesitation.

If you want to get money from them, wait for your next life! As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him burst into laughter.

"You don't even want to pay a penny, and you still say you are filial. But your filial piety is really worthless."

"That's right. I've never seen such a thick-skinned person. Even in such a situation, he still says he wants to be filial. What kind of filial piety is that? Who knows how he will treat the old man harshly when the time comes."

"Don't think of people like this as good people in the future. They are just pretending to be pitiful."

"Alright, alright. You two have been making enough noise and wasting our time. Hurry up and make room. Don't delay us from eating the hot and sour noodles."

"Yeah, man, give me a bowl of hot and sour noodles and two pot cakes!"

"I have to buy some tofu and go back to cook. I'm just watching the fun. Come and weigh two pounds of tofu and one pound of bean sprouts."

"I want a pound of preserved eggs..."

In a moment, this person walked past Zhang Xiangrui and Guo and went straight into the shop.

Zhang Xiangrong and Cao, looking at the situation, no longer paid attention to Zhang Xiangrui and Guo, but went back to the shop to do business.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The tofu shop and the hot and sour noodle stall had returned to their usual bustle. Zhang Xiangrui and Guo, who were standing there, seemed to be non-existent and were treated as transparent air.

"Boss, this is too much of a bully!" After all the effort, she didn't get any benefits in the end. She was even given the cold shoulder and scolded by others. Guo wiped away tears again and again.

"Cry, just know how to cry, what's the use of crying?" Zhang Xiangrui was very upset because he hadn't accomplished anything. Now seeing Guo crying non-stop, he became even more annoyed and glared at Guo fiercely.

Guo was so frightened that she stopped crying immediately. Even though she was shedding tears, she did not dare to cry loudly. She even held back her sobs, which only made her throat sore.

"Then boss, it has come to this. We are not willing to leave like this. Otherwise, how about..." Guo said angrily, "How about we just vent our anger and rush into the shop and smash it to prevent him from being so proud!"

"This matter..." Zhang Xiangrui touched his chin.

That's a bit rude.

But, maybe there is a way.

Just go in and start banging around, and let out a lot of anger. You will definitely feel better.

As for Zhang Xiangrong, if he was asked to pay compensation after his shop was smashed, he would just spread his hands and say that he had no money.

Anyway, he has no money now and he didn't lie, so there's nothing we can do to him.

As for whether Zhang Xiangrong would take him to see the officials, Zhang Xiangrui felt that there was no need to be afraid.
