Chapter 38 Bad luck!
Grandma Zhao heard the noise and came out of the house. Three taels of silver, this was definitely Grandma Liu deliberately looking for trouble.
She sneered, "Mrs. Liu, I see you're in great shape and you can eat a whole cow. You don't look like you're in trouble."
"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be the old widow. How dare you come out here? Aren't you afraid of killing someone? Big brother, second brother, you better stay away from this old widow, or you'll be infected with bad luck!"
There was an expression on Old Lady Liu's face that was hard to describe, and her eyes were filled with contempt, as if the person in front of her was really a dirty thing, which was very annoying.
Grandma Zhao folded her arms and fought back, "Bah! The worst misfortune I've ever suffered is being neighbors with an old hag like you!"
"You bastard, who are you calling an old hag?" Old Lady Liu wanted to jump up and slap Grandma Zhao's mouth to pieces.
Before she could take any action, her son pulled her. She realized that she was there to ask for money, so she didn't bother to argue with the old widow.
Old Mrs. Liu stood beside Old Man Liu, covering her arm with her hands, looking very painful.
"You have harmed my mother like this, you must give an explanation. Three taels of silver, not a tael less. You'd better be sensible, or I will report you to the police!" Boss Liu became more and more proud as he spoke. He was going to report you to the police, and he didn't believe that they wouldn't be afraid.
When the time comes, he will have to take out the silver, three taels of silver! He has already thought about how to spend it!
Pei Yian didn't have the air of being blackmailed or threatened at all, and even had a faint smile on his face.
It had been many years since he had been threatened so bluntly. Since the other party had come to him, he would just play along. His thin lips opened and closed, and he slowly uttered two words, "Okay!"
Everyone present was stunned, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. How could the young man agree so easily?
When Old Lady Liu and Grandma Zhao were arguing with each other, they were full of energy, but it was obvious that they were pretending. This was a trap. How come this young man is so handsome but has no brains!
The calmest members of the Pei family should be those present. An Ge'er is resourceful and will definitely not suffer any loss. Although no one knows why he agreed to it, he must have his reasons for doing so.
Ji Zhisui also didn't believe that the male protagonist in the book would be bullied to such an extent, and he might have some ulterior motives.
Old Mrs. Liu couldn't believe it. It was so easy to get three taels of silver. If she had known earlier, she should have asked for five taels... no... ten taels of silver. It seemed that the slap she received in the daytime was not in vain.
"No, my arm is seriously injured. You have to give me ten taels of silver!" Old Mrs. Liu became more and more demanding and asked for a big price.
"That's right! Give us ten taels of silver, or we'll report you to the authorities!"
The neighbors around were pointing and talking, many of them accused Old Lady Liu of being so tasteless, while others advised Pei Yian not to be cheated.
"Three taels." Pei Yian's tone left no room for argument.
"That... is fine, give me the money!" Seeing the man's firm attitude, Boss Liu had no choice but to give in.
He just wanted to get the money quickly. Since he was lucky today, he might as well go to the casino and try his luck.
"I have studied medicine for a few years and can diagnose injuries. If what happened to Old Lady Liu is true, I will give you the money." Pei Yian walked closer to Old Lady Liu, as if he wanted to check her injuries.
Old Lady Liu fell from the clouds in an instant. Before she could calm down from the ecstasy of getting the money, she saw the man approaching like a demon from hell, with every step carrying the aura of taking her life.
She stepped back repeatedly, feeling extremely guilty.
What she said about her arm hurting was a lie. It was the first time she was beaten up and such a big person was lost. After returning home, she became more and more angry. How could she survive in Beijie in the future?
After her two sons came back from work, she told them what happened today. The eldest son then made this suggestion, asking her to pretend to be injured and ask for money. Even if she couldn't get the money, it would be nice to disgust them. However, things did not develop as she expected.
Boss Liu didn't want the duck he had in hand to fly away like this, so he blocked Pei Yian in front of him and said, "You...what are you doing? Who knows whether what you said is true or not? What if you can't treat it and make my mother's injuries worse? Just give me the money quickly!"
"As long as Old Lady Liu's arm is really broken, I will give her the money. Otherwise, you can report it to the police and let the officers make the judgment." Pei Yian changed his previous casual attitude and spoke in a firm tone.
Then, he came to Old Lady Liu at lightning speed. Although his martial arts were abolished and he was poisoned, his physical memories were still there.
Boss Liu only felt a gust of wind blowing past, and the person who was originally standing in front of him came behind him and stood in front of Old Lady Liu without him knowing when.
Old Lady Liu felt tapped on the back a few times. She looked at the man in front of her, and fear surged up in her heart again. She could feel murderous intent in the man's eyes, as if he really wanted to twist her arm off.
She wanted to turn around and run away, asking her sons to protect her, but those feet seemed not to be hers. They were completely out of control and she couldn't lift them up. Not only her feet, her whole body couldn't move, as if someone had pricked her blood.
Her eyes widened, she was sure that this man had done something to her. She wanted to shout loudly, but found that even her throat could not make a sound.
Old Lady Liu could only see Pei Yian fiddling with her arm a few times. "Old Lady Liu, your arm is clearly intact, how can you say it's broken? Are you holding a grudge against our family and specifically coming here to cause trouble?"
She tried her best to explain herself, but when she opened her mouth no sound came out and she could only mumble.
Boss Liu glared at his mother, not understanding why she was so upset at such a critical moment. Not only did she not run away, but her usually eloquent mouth also fell silent.
Seeing her son looking at her as if she was useless, Old Lady Liu felt so frustrated!
How could she not want to run? Or not want to speak? But she couldn't move at all, nor could she make a sound.
Old Lady Liu's fear of the man in front of her deepened. He must be a monster. He must have used some kind of magic to make her unable to move! She couldn't speak!
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! We didn't do that!" Boss Liu denied it flatly.
"Then let's go to the officials to seek justice. The laws of this dynasty stipulate that if the amount of extortion exceeds two taels of silver, the person will be imprisoned for a few days. I think everyone can testify for me." Pei Yian looked at the people around who were watching the show.
Everyone nodded in agreement with what he said. They had all witnessed with their own eyes how the Liu family had come to their house to blackmail them for no reason.
After getting everyone's response, Pei Yian dragged Old Lady Liu away.
This was the first time for the Liu brothers to do this. Who knew that they would violate the laws of this dynasty? Seeing Pei Yian taking their mother away in a serious manner, Old Lady Liu looked so frightened that she didn't even struggle.
