She ignored him with a look of disgust, got up and walked towards her own yard. Qin Run quickly followed, saying funny things to cheer her up.
Helpless, Qin Minglang could only take the anxious Zhang Shi out to deal with the situation.
When the two of them found out the amount, they were both stunned.
"How much? Six thousand taels?"
With a smile, Zhang Biao had another tray brought over, covered with items that Qin family had used to pay off their debts.
"This is what your father took from home to my casino to exchange for money. The collateral receipts are all here. I heard that these are congratulatory gifts from various officials to General Qin. We dare not sell them. Please settle the bill together. The total is nine thousand three hundred and five taels. Consider the change as my tribute to General Qin."
Qin Minglang staggered and almost couldn't stand.
They even used the congratulatory gift to gamble!
Zhang Biao was very respectful, but his triangular eyes were full of cunning.
"If General Qin refuses to give it, then I will have no choice but to appeal to the authorities and ask the magistrate to do me justice. But that would damage the general's reputation, which would not be good."
Qin Minglang's face was deathly pale, and he pressed his lips tightly together, unable to utter a single word.
More than nine thousand taels of silver.
Where would he get so much money?
But Su Yulan wouldn't even come out to help, so why would she be willing to give so much money to pay off her father's gambling debts?
If they make a scene now, who knows how many more jokes they'll make.
He said coldly, "Since it's money my father lost, I won't refuse to pay it back. It's just that we don't have that much silver in the manor. Here's what we'll do: give me three days. After three days, I'll personally deliver it to the casino."
Zhang Biao chuckled twice.
"General Qin, we have no personal relationship, so I can't take your words at face value. Either I report these things to the authorities, or you can offer some tangible collateral, such as land deeds or house deeds. As long as it's not something that can't be sold, we can talk."
Qin Minglang was so angry that he felt like he was choking on blood, but he had no choice but to write an IOU, put his fingerprint on it, and have Zhang secretly take out the house deed and give it to Zhang Biao. Only then did he get back his father-in-law and the things he had stolen.
After sending the man away, Qin Gong cursed angrily.
"It's all that damned Jiang Qingwan's fault. She clearly saw me at the casino, but refused to give me any money. I'm her father-in-law, what an unfilial brat."
Seeing that he still showed no remorse, Qin Minglang could no longer tolerate it.
"I've already divorced Jiang Qingwan, why should she pay off your gambling debts! If you don't have money, what are you gambling for!"
Qin Jiagong stood there stunned after being reprimanded.
Zhang felt distressed and, supporting her old man's hand, scolded him urgently.
"If you're so capable, why don't you yell at your good wife? You're being tied up and disciplined, and you don't dare utter a single word. Jiang Qingwan always brings money to bring your father home properly; when has she ever suffered like this! You unfilial son!"
Qin Minglang, caught between a rock and a hard place, is on the verge of going crazy.
But the most important thing right now is to raise nine thousand taels of silver within three days. If the Qin family is gone, who knows what kind of trouble Su Yulan will cause.
If we can coax Jiang Qingwan into handing over the money from the bank, everything will be resolved.
