The two men didn't know how long they had been imprisoned, and now they were smelling sour. They rushed directly towards Bai Chi, trying to catch Bai Chi and make him honor his parents while there were many people around.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Bai Chi fell to the side and curled up into a ball, holding his head.
"Dad, please stop hitting me. I don't have any money. I really don't have any money. Please stop hitting me."
He cried, trembled, and repeatedly shouted "Stop hitting me, I have no money."
You can tell at a glance that he was often beaten at home and forced to pay money.
Even Bai Chi's father was stunned by Bai Chi's reaction.
Bai Chi continued to cry. Although he cried pitifully, his voice was clearly heard by the people around him.
"Dad, Mom, please stop gambling. The Zhong family gave us so much betrothal gifts, and we lost it all in gambling. Think about your brother and sister!"
Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes, looking so pitiful and heartbreaking.
Xiao Tao finally reacted and hurried forward to help Bai Chi up. She also stood in front of Bai Chi and glared at the old man in front of her.
"Don't think you can bully others just because you're the Second Young Madam's father. You lost money gambling, so why are you coming to the Young Madam? You accepted so much betrothal gifts from the Zhong family, but you weren't even willing to prepare a small dowry for the Young Madam. And you still want to ask for money? Do you have any shame?"
Xiao Tao might be soft-hearted for a moment, but she is not stupid. To have been in the Zhong family for so many years and even been assigned to serve the Second Young Master's wife, she must be smart!
Especially to outsiders, it seemed that Bai Chi fell down because Bai Chi’s father pushed him out with force!
You want money and you're so rude, I'm giving you face!
The maid of a wealthy family was quite capable. Xiao Tao was furious at that time. She protected Bai Chi while scolding the couple opposite.
"I'm warning you, the eldest young master said, if you dare to harass the second young master's wife again, I'll break your legs!"
The servants and guards following behind Bai Chi had now arrived around Bai Chi. Each of them was strong and sturdy, and when they glared at the couple, they were no less powerful than the thugs in the casino.
When the two saw this scene, their arrogance instantly weakened a little, but it was obvious that they had no intention of giving up.
Bai Chi Niang also came over at this time, stood behind her man, and shouted with her neck stiffened:
"Just because I'm his mother, I gave birth to him and raised him, he should support me. Do you, the Zhong family, still want to protect an ungrateful person?"
Seeing that Xiaotao didn't know how to refute for a moment, Bai Chi looked at his mother sobbing. In just a moment, his eyes were already red, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to give you money, I really don't have any money on me. I have to keep a record of everything I buy, and I have to show it to the... the eldest young master when I get home."
"Also, when the Zhong family first came to take me in, my family refused to let me go and threatened to pay me another 500 taels before letting me get into the bridal sedan. We had it written down in black and white at the time. These 500 taels are to be considered as a gift from the Zhong family to you and me on behalf of the Second Young Master. From now on, you are not allowed to come to us for anything that happens in the family."
This is not just Bai Chi's nonsense. The document is at the Zhong family. It should have been in the hands of the Zhong family's old lady. Now...
As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching the excitement around began to point and talk.
Five hundred taels! The betrothal gift is one thousand taels, and the bride price is another five hundred taels. It would take an ordinary person several generations to spend it all!
The Zhong family has been married for not long, why are they asking for money again?
While they were discussing it, Bai Chi asked for them.
"Dad, Mom, did you lose all the five hundred taels so quickly? If you keep going like this, even the Zhong family can't afford to lose like this!"
Bai Chi originally wanted to say that they gambled and lost all their money, and that was their own business.
Who knew that the next second, he heard his father instinctively respond with a rebuttal.
"Bullshit, the Zhong family is rich and powerful. Even if I lose a little, what's the big deal?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Chi paused and looked at his father in disbelief.
"Dad, the Zhong family is the Zhong family, and the Bai family is the Bai family. How could we possibly give you money to lose?"
People around him also pointed fingers at him and said, "Yes, even if you are relatives, why should others support a family of gamblers like you?"
Bai Chi's father also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
