Shopkeeper Hua returned to the inn, took out a silver note worth 1,000 taels, and hurried out to give it to them.
"I've given you the money. Don't come here to cause trouble again!" Shopkeeper Hua said coldly.
"Don't worry, we keep our word." The four men left decisively.
But she didn't expect that the two men would come to her again the next day and find her in the inn.
Shopkeeper Hua was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly took them to a deserted place.
"Didn't I give you the money? What else do you want?" Shopkeeper Hua said coldly.
"Fengxia, we guys accidentally spent all the one thousand taels. Can you give me another five thousand taels to spend?" The skinny monkey said with a smile.
Five thousand taels right away!
"I don't have five thousand taels." said the shopkeeper Hua.
"Your inn is so big, but you don't even have five thousand taels?" The tall and thin man looked up at the inn, his face full of disbelief.
"I only have one thousand taels, I'll give it all to you."
Manager Hua has been running this inn for many years, with an annual profit of four to five hundred taels. After a few years, after deducting the capital and management expenses, the money left is only one thousand taels.
Shopkeeper Hua originally thought he had finally made it through, thinking good days were coming, but he didn't expect...
She had finally lived a good life, but ended up falling into the mud again. Could God be so cruel to her?
When she gave one thousand taels yesterday, she knew that the matter would not be resolved so easily, but at that time she had a glimmer of hope.
She had also hoped that after these four people took the money, they would die in various accidents, and then no one would know about her past.
However, in reality, God was so cruel to her.
"Isn't your man the garrison commander of Qinzhou City? Can't you even come up with five thousand taels?" The skinny monkey said with disbelief on his face.
Shopkeeper Hua didn't want to pay any attention to them and kept silent with a stern face.
The short, fat man slapped the skinny monkey. "What nonsense are you talking about! Five thousand taels? You dare ask for it? Fengxia, your wedding day is in two days, and we don't want to embarrass you. So, two thousand taels. If you give us these two thousand taels, we will leave Qinzhou City and never come back."
Shopkeeper Hua's mouth was filled with the taste of blood, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation: "How can I trust you?"
"Fengxia, my words still carry some weight, and these guys listen to me. I swear to you today!" As Lao Wu said this, he made a poisonous oath, saying that if he broke his promise, he would be struck by lightning.
Shopkeeper Hua closed his eyes and made a decision after a while.
"Okay, I'll give it to you, but you have to give me a day to raise the money, and I'll give it to you tomorrow. During these two days, you are not allowed to set foot in my inn!"
"Okay, see you at the old street entrance tomorrow morning, Fengxia. If we can't wait for you, you can't blame us for letting everyone know about your dirty deeds." Lao Wu looked cunning.
"I'll give it to you, just go."
The four thugs then left the inn.
When I was leaving, I happened to meet Tangli walking in.
The skinny monkey's eyes widened: "Little beauty..."
As he said that, he moved closer to Tangli.
Then, as he got a little closer, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes and let out a cry of "Ah Ah".
"My eyes! Which little bastard? I'm going to kill him..."
The skinny monkey was furious, and when he looked up, he was met with a muscular chest.
When he looked up again, he saw a murderous man staring at him coldly.
The skinny monkey's legs softened, and his momentum weakened. "Dad! Dad! I wasn't watching the road just now. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Wei Qing looked at his fist. How dare he covet his wife? If he hadn't run fast, his other eye would have been hit too!
"What do these four people do?" Tang Li asked the waiter.
Tang Li always felt that those four people were not serious people. They came to the inn. Could they be looking for trouble?
The clerk shook his head: "I don't know either. The shopkeeper knows him."
Tangli went to find the shopkeeper Hua.
But I found her sitting in the room in a daze, and she looked very upset.
"Sister Hua, what's wrong with you?" Tang Li asked worriedly.
Shopkeeper Hua looked at Tang Li. She was now panicking and really wanted someone to help her.
Although Tangli is younger than me, he is more resourceful than me...
Shopkeeper Hua also trusts her.
"Tangtang, there is something I want to tell you..." said Shopkeeper Hua.
Tangli looked at her with his dark eyes: "Sister Hua, go ahead."
Shopkeeper Hua opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, they were stuck again.
Will Tangli hate himself after knowing his own experience?
Tangli is her most caring friend, and she doesn't want Tangli to hate her.
"Tangtang, I'm a little nervous about our marriage the day after tomorrow. I always feel that our future life is full of unknowns." Shopkeeper Hua said.
It turns out that he is afraid of marriage.
Apart from those who act rashly, many people are afraid of marriage before getting married.
"Sister, there's nothing to be afraid of. You like Cao Ji, and Cao Ji likes you. When you get married, it's just the union of two people in love. After marriage, you can eat at the same table and sleep together. There may be some quarrels, but that's the fun of life. Give birth to a baby. Sister, you are so beautiful, the baby will definitely be very cute." Tang Li said.
The scenes depicted by Tangli are very desirable.
When I turned around, I saw that Shopkeeper Hua's eyes were red and tears were about to fall.
"sister……"
"Tangtang, the future you described is so beautiful. I'm so excited..."
Tang Li always felt that Shopkeeper Hua was crying not because of excitement, but because of pain.
"Sister Hua..."
"Oh, this is so embarrassing, Tangtang, please go out and let me cry for a while."
Having said that, he pushed Tangli out.
Tangli wanted to ask again, but he didn't have the chance.
Shopkeeper Hua shed tears silently in the room for a while.
The future that Tangtang described is so beautiful.
Just thinking about it made her feel it was incredibly wonderful.
She wants this kind of life...
Shopkeeper Hua took out all his savings, but the total amount of banknotes and silver was only eight hundred taels.
Shopkeeper Hua thought about it, took out all the jewelry hidden in his cabinet, and then went to the pawnshop to pawn them all.
This time, they collected 1,700 taels.
She still pawned what she was supposed to, but she didn't know where she got the remaining three hundred taels.
Shopkeeper Hua gritted his teeth and took off all the earrings on her ears and bracelets on her hands.
"Shopkeeper Hua, these two items are of good quality. If you are willing to pawn them, I will give you five hundred taels!" the pawnshop owner said excitedly.
Five hundred taels...
This was given to her by the wolf cub, and he was really willing to give it to her.
"Three hundred taels for the living." said the shopkeeper Hua.
The pawnshop owner hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, since we've known each other for so many years!"
Shopkeeper Hua reluctantly gave the earrings and bracelet to the pawnshop and left with the silver.
The next day, Shopkeeper Hua handed over two thousand taels of silver notes to the short and fat Lao Wu, the skinny monkey and others.
Shopkeeper Hua looked at the short and fat Old Five and said, "You promised me that you would leave Qinzhou City after you got the money."
"Of course, I swore that we will leave early the day after tomorrow, and definitely before you get married." Lao Wu promised.
Shopkeeper Hua turned and left.
"Old Five, are you just going to let it go like this? This is a cash cow." The skinny monkey stared at the back of the shopkeeper Hua and drooled.
Lao Wu patted Shou Hou's head with a cunning expression: "What do you know? If we push her too far, she will definitely fight us to the death, and then we will get nothing. We have to take it slow and squeeze out her value bit by bit."
The skinny monkey suddenly realized: "Old Five, you are still the bad one. No one can outsmart you."
