Chapter 3125: Management
Chapter 3067 Asking for Money
As soon as Uncle Shi turned around, his face turned gloomy. He went straight to the restaurant with a knife in hand.
Uncle Wu was in the restaurant, drinking and bragging with his friends. "If you give it to him, the money will just go to the casino. It's better to give it to me. At least I can eat it."
"That's a good point. We can help with the flowers together, hahaha..."
"That's true, but didn't Madam Shi suffer as well?" Someone at the table tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "And I heard that Shi Xiaolang is still taking medicine. This is your nephew's medicine money."
Wu Dalang slammed his wine glass on the table. "Brother Qian, I treated you to a drink out of kindness, but I made a mistake. What medicine money? If this money falls into the hands of Shi Dalang, will it still be medicine money? It's gambling money!"
"My sister and nephew are both gone anyway, so who cares if they spend it? In my hands, at least they're eaten by everyone. But in Shi Dalang's hands, not even a sound can be heard when he throws them away."
Except for Mr. Qian, everyone else burst into laughter and nodded in agreement.
Just as I was laughing happily, the two people sitting opposite the door suddenly changed their expressions and their necks seemed to be strangled and they could no longer laugh.
Seeing them looking behind him with horrified expressions, Wu Dalang turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
When he turned around, he saw a knife on his neck. The thin, cold blade pressed against his neck, and Wu Dalang shuddered.
He raised his head tremblingly and met the cold gaze of Uncle Shi. He pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, what are you doing? This knife is no joke, please get out of the way first..."
He stretched out his hand to push the knife away a little, but Uncle Shi suddenly pressed it down. The people who were staring at them suddenly exclaimed, and everyone said nervously: "There's bleeding..."
Wu Dalang didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing what his friends said, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck. He almost cried out, but he didn't dare to move his neck. He could only deal with Uncle Shi, "Brother-in-law, we are a family. You, what are you doing? If you make trouble, you will go to jail."
Uncle Shi said grimly, "You stole our money. Xiaolang has no money to treat his illness, and he's going to die soon. Once he dies, my wife and I won't be able to survive either. So, why not take my eldest brother with you before you die? So that we can keep each other company in the underworld."
"No, no," Wu Dalang said hurriedly, "I was just joking with you. I'm your uncle, how could I possibly take Xiaolang's medicine money? It's just money, right? Put the knife away first, and I'll give it to you."
Seeing that he was about to move, Uncle Shi pressed the knife tightly against his neck and whispered, "Don't move. This knife has been sharpened and is very sharp. If you move, you will cut the major blood vessels in your neck. Even gods can't save you."
Wu Dalang suddenly dared not move.
Uncle Shi said, "I sold my house for 120 taels. No matter how generous you are, you can't carry that much money with you. Send someone back to get it. You don't have to send it here. Send it back to my old house. I'm staying there now. Let the owner of the house come and tell me when they receive the money. If they do, I'll let you go. If they don't, we brothers will go to the underworld together."
Wu Dalang originally wanted to ask his followers to secretly report to the police, but when he heard this, a chill rose from his spine. He intuitively felt that what Uncle Shi said was true. If he had not asked someone to deliver the money, but instead called the yamen runners, he would probably really be killed.
Wu Dalang then hurriedly said to the attendant who was staying there, "Go home and get the money. Go directly to the mistress and ask for it. Don't tell the family about this yet. Do you understand?"
The attendant came back to his senses, bowed repeatedly in response, turned around and ran out.
The Wu family did not split up, and Wu Dalang was not a capable person, otherwise he would not have cheated his sister and nephew of the money they had saved their lives.
If he really told his family, who knows if his brothers would interfere, or if the old man would come to argue with Uncle Shi, only to anger him...
So Wu Dalang could only repeatedly remind him to only look for his wife.
Mrs. Wu didn't want to pay any attention to it. "They are drunk and acting arrogantly. I don't believe he would dare to kill anyone!"
The servant knelt on the ground and cried, "Madam, you don't know how terrifying the brother-in-law is now. He is really desperate. If we don't pay, the brother-in-law will really dare to kill us."
Mrs. Wu's face changed at this point. After a moment's thought, she gritted her teeth and said to her trusted maid, "Go open the box and get the silver."
She was very angry. "You are really a debt collector. You don't see me when you make money, but you come to me when you spend money."
One hundred and twenty taels is not a small amount, so he packed it into a bundle. After the long-time attendant confirmed the amount, he carried the bundle and ran to the former Shi family's villa.
Mrs. Shi was crying beside her son. She was a little stunned when she saw the person Zhou Lizhong led in. Isn't this the eldest brother's long-term attendant? Why is he here?
The attendant came forward, knelt on the ground, opened the bundle, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Auntie, please count it. This is the one hundred and twenty taels that I took from you before. Now I return it all to you."
Mrs. Shi was stunned for a moment, then she was pleasantly surprised. She was moved when she heard her long-servant wipe his eyes and say, "Auntie, go and beg the uncle. Our uncle has already returned all the money. Please show some mercy."
Mrs. Shi: ...
In the end, Zhou Lizhong counted the money. Although this silver was not the one given by their Zhou family, the correct number was enough.
Mrs. Wu was afraid that Mr. Shi would really make her a widow, so although she was heartbroken, she still took out enough silver.
Zhou Lizhong and his attendant went to a restaurant.
The restaurant was already bustling with activity. Everyone gathered in the private room to watch Uncle Shi hold Wu Dalang hostage. Someone even tried to persuade him, "Don't let your mind wander. If anything happens to you, it will only make things even more difficult for these orphans and widows."
Uncle Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Without money, my son won't survive, and my wife and I won't survive either."
Wu Dalang really regretted it. If he had known that Uncle Shi was so crazy now, he should not have stayed in the county after getting the money. He should have gone out to play and come back after the money was spent. Even if Shi Dalang wanted to find him, he would not be able to do so.
Uncle Shi held the knife in one hand and took the wine jug on the table with the other hand and poured a sip into his mouth. Someone quietly approached, but Uncle Shi suddenly turned his head to look at him. The person who took two steps forward froze.
Uncle Shi's knife moved, and Uncle Wu's tears flowed down. He dared not move and said, "Don't, don't, don't come close, brother-in-law, they don't dare to move. Really, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
Zhou Lizhong and his entourage pushed their way through the crowd and entered. They took one look at the bloodstain on Wu Dalang's neck and, after a moment's silence, smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, why do you and Uncle Wu like to do this now? Uncle Wu has just had the money from the sale of your house returned to you. Madam Shi is very happy right now. You should go back and take a look."
He stepped forward, shook Master Shi's hand, and pulled him out, saying with a smile, "Let's go, the young master is still waiting at home."
I thought I had updated the previous chapter, but I found out that I hadn't updated it at 7 o'clock. Now I'm replacing it.
