The old woman squatting next to the assistant changed her expression drastically, ran over nervously, leaned over to the window and asked her daughter-in-law: "Cao Cao, did you miss your period this month?"

There was a pause in the crying in the room, and after a while, there was a "hmm" sound.

Song Lao Er suddenly sat up and asked with great interest, "Is she pregnant? Pregnant? Hahaha, I heard a customer say before that pregnant women are different. If your daughter-in-law is really pregnant, I will take her away and I will pay half of the bill for you. How about that?"

"Can we pay it off?" Qin Shu bargained with Song Lao Er.

Song Lao Er sneered, "It's not inlaid with gold. I'm already at a disadvantage if I can only use half of it. You want to use the whole 500 yuan? You're just daydreaming."

Seeing that Song Lao Er was determined and there was no room for negotiation, Qin Shu thought about it and gritted his teeth to agree.

Qin Tian suddenly rushed into the yard and slapped sixty yuan in front of Song Laoer, "I will pay you back, I'll give you sixty first, give me two days."

Song Lao Er took the money and said to Qin Tian with his teeth bared, "Sixty is not enough for me to have a meal and a drink. You still want to pretend to be great and let me tolerate you for two days. You are dreaming.

Today, either let me take your wife out to play for two or three months, or I’ll chop off two of your fingers to teach you a lesson.

Oh, I will come back tomorrow. If you can’t pay it back tomorrow, I will chop off three sticks.”

Qin Shu pulled Qin Tian aside and whispered to him: "Why not let Cao Cao go with Song Lao Er? This woman is like clothes. If you lose one, you can just marry another one. If you lose this finger, you will become disabled."

Qin Tian shook his head. "The one in Cao Cao's belly is my child. Besides, as the saying goes, a husband and wife will be grateful to each other for a hundred days. Dad, I don't agree to use Cao Cao to pay off the debt."

"If you don't give it to him, he will chop off your fingers." Qin Shu said angrily.

Zhu Yan's beautiful face flashed before Qin Tian's eyes. "I just met a pretty girl outside. Dad, I have an idea. Bring her back and discipline her for two days until she's convinced. Then, tell Song Lao Er to use her as a replacement for Cao Cao."

"I have a cousin who is twenty years old. She is very pretty. Her family asked my mother to find her a husband in the city. Second Master, can you give me three more days? I will introduce my cousin to you, okay?" Qin Tian looked at Song Lao Er with a flattering face.

"With your looks, how can you have a pretty cousin?" Song Lao Er didn't believe Qin Tian's words at all.

Qin Tian swore and said it was really beautiful, and if it wasn’t, he could chop off his head.

Song Lao Er finally showed some interest. He hesitated for a moment and asked with a twinkling look in his eyes, "Are your breasts big?"

Qin Tian thought about it and gestured with his hands in front of his chest.

"That's okay. Is your waist thin?" Song Lao Er asked again.

Qin Tian nodded vigorously.

Song Laoer smacked his lips and hissed, still a little unconvinced, looking around the house hesitantly.

A burly woman was lying in the window, looking over here with fear in her eyes.

Seeing that Song Laoer was still staring at her, she was so scared that she immediately shrank her head and squatted down.

After a while, Song Lao Er nodded, patted Qin Tian's face like a dog and said, "Okay, Second Master will trust you again. I'll give you three days. If you can't find a beautiful cousin, I'll chop off your third leg first, and then your hand."

Song Lao Er walked away with his thugs in a swagger.

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

He huddled in the house and didn't dare to come out.

Qin Shu tapped his pipe, stuffed it with new tobacco, lit it with a hiss, took a few puffs, and asked Qin Tian with a worried look on his face: "What should I do next?"

"Come here, all of you, and listen to me. As long as you do as I say, this will most likely succeed." Qin Tian explained his plan in detail.

"Tiantian is right. Caocao is pregnant with our grandson. We can't push her away no matter what. If we want to keep Tiantian and our grandson, we can only find an unlucky girl to take her place."

"Then let's do it."

After the three of them agreed, they started to work.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

It was a strange place, with its crisscrossing alleys like a maze.

A thick darkness engulfed all directions.

The wind blew silently across the empty streets, taking away the last trace of familiar breath.

Zhu Yan was completely lost, and after walking into several dead ends, she began to panic.

I looked around, trying to find a familiar sight, but everything around me seemed strange.

The disorganized buildings were like obstacles, surrounding her in the center.

The dark windows were like countless eyes, silently watching her, the lost one.

She knocked on several doors to ask for directions, but no one opened the door.

She gritted her teeth as she shuttled through the alleys, turning one corner after another, her heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

Every street seemed like a journey into the unknown, and she wasn't sure which way to go.

Zhu Yan's panicked heartbeat and her flustered footsteps echoed each other, like a symphony of worry.

The more she couldn't find the way, the more panicked Zhu Yan became, and the more panicked she became, the more confused she became. It was a vicious cycle.

In the end, she squatted down helplessly, the fear of not being able to get out lingering in her heart, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably.

"Oh, Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, I'm lost and I want to go home. Where are you? Come and pick me up." Zhu Yan leaned against the corner of the wall, tears flowing out unconsciously.

A reddish light suddenly appeared in the darkness.

A light sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

A kind voice asked above Zhu Yan's head, "Girl? Why are you crying? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
