The previously chattering crowd instantly fell silent.
Good boy.
Is this still the Song Xia they know?
Is this girl possessed by a ghost?
Song Xia ignored them. Just as she was wondering whether to punch Brother Jin a few times, Song Qiu raised his hand and handed her an axe.
"Thanks."
Song Xia accepted it.
Fang Xiu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
Song Dong picked up a carrying pole and stood next to Song Xia.
"Don't stand here, go and fetch a doctor."
Song Xia noticed what Song Dong said.
Song Dongyi left.
Song Xia then placed the axe under Jin Ge's neck.
Brother Jin lost his composure: "You, you, what are you going to do! Paying back debts is a matter of course! Besides, your father has already sold you to our gambling den, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to bring people to arrest you!"
"Go find whoever owes you a debt!"
"You said I was sold to your gambling den? Where's the indenture?"
Song Xia said firmly.
Jin glanced at the torn-up indenture and knew that there was nothing he could do about Song Xia today.
He tightened his grip and said, "Fine, we won't look for you anymore, we'll go find your father!"
"etc."
Boss Song squeezed his way in from outside the crowd.
Song Xia had already let go of Jin Ge at this point.
Seeing that Song Laoda looked somewhat like Song Laoer and the others, Brother Jin said irritably, "What are you waiting for? Who are you?"
Upon hearing this...
Boss Song glanced at Song Xia and said, "My name is Song Qingshan. I'm the older brother of Song Qinghe and his gang. Tell me how much money they owe your gambling den..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Brother Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, are you going to pay them for them?"
Song Xia also thought so.
However.
But it wasn't what they thought.
The eldest brother, Song, said, "It's my brother and his group who owe you money, so I won't help them pay it back. If you're not in a hurry for the money, I'll keep an eye on them and make sure they earn it back..."
He had barely finished speaking.
Brother Jin scoffed, "Make money to pay it back? Do you know how much they owe our gambling den? Let me tell you, each of them owes us thirty taels of silver! They couldn't pay it back even if they worked hard for a year!"
What!
so much.
Boss Song's face turned pale instantly.
Jin then took out the indentures of Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao.
"See this? These are Song Zhaodi and the others' indentures. If we hadn't heard they were quite pretty and around ten years old, our master would never have agreed to use them as payment for those thirty taels of silver..."
Old Master Song was furious: "They even sold their own daughter! I'll beat them to death!"
He has no daughter.
I envy them for having both a son and a daughter.
They're doing well.
Having a daughter but not appreciating her.
Selling my daughter!
Brother Jin didn't care how they were dealt with. He opened his mouth and said, "Even if you beat them to death, I'm still going to collect this debt today. Let's go to Song Lao Er's house!"
After greeting his men, Brother Jin left.
"Wait."
Old Song stopped Brother Jin and said, "Our Song family would never sell our daughter. Please give us a few more days, and we will definitely raise the money to pay you back."
Brother Jin is not an easy person to talk to.
Today I suffered a loss at Song Qiu's hands and lost face so badly.
How could he possibly agree?
Jin refused without hesitation: "Dream on! Don't even think about it!"
"Then go ask them to return the money to you!"
Old Woman Song's aged voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone looked over.
Then they saw the three Song brothers escorting Song Lao Er and the others over.
Before Jin Ge could speak, Granny Song straightened up and said, "Don't Song Lao Er and the others owe your gambling den a debt? Then cut off their hands or feet to pay off the debt! Selling them is out of the question. If you insist on taking my granddaughter away, then you'll have to step over my dead body..."
The villagers who were watching were in an uproar.
None of them expected that Granny Song would be so tough.
Song Xia stopped standing by indifferently, after all, she quite liked Granny Song.
She stepped forward and said, "Do you want my father's hands and feet, or do you want money? Choose one."
Brother Jin: "..."
Who is really in debt?
These days, are those who owe debts even more than they do in terms of paying it off?
It would certainly be satisfying to take their hands and feet.
question.
What's the use!
Brother Jin turned his gaze to Granny Song and said, "For your sake, I won't let them cut off their hands and feet. I'll give you one day..."
Boss Song exclaimed, "One day? How can one day be enough..."
"Just one day!"
Brother Jin is no longer willing to compromise.
Song Xia was about to speak.
Brother Jin stared at her and said, "Girl, I know what you want to say, but this is not negotiable! Also, you hurt us, and this matter can't be left like this. If you don't want us to cause you trouble in the future, besides the gambling debt of ninety taels of silver, you also have to compensate us..."
Who made the first move?
After asking, Song Xia continued, "Speaking of compensation, you're the ones who should be paying. What happened to my older sister's head injury? Was she injured because of you?"
Jin was about to speak.
Song Qiu recounted, "They tried to pull me away, but my older sister protected me and pushed her down, causing her to hit her head."
in this way.
They are even more unable to extricate themselves from the situation.
Song Xia stopped wasting time arguing with Brother Jin: "Pay up!"
Brother Jin: "..."
Damn it, this is the first time he's ever met someone like this.
But he dared not refuse to pay.
Suppressing his anger, Brother Jin asked, "How much compensation...?"
"Sister, Doctor Wang is here."
Song Dong's voice rang out.
Although Song Qiu had already determined that Song Chun's injuries were not serious, she still had Doctor Wang examine him before discussing the specific amount of medical expenses.
After a moment of contemplation, Physician Wang said three hundred coins.
Not too much, not too little.
Brother Jin agreed: "Okay, three hundred coins it is!"
He'll get his revenge sooner or later!
"Wait!"
Of course, Song Qiu wouldn't let it go so easily.
She said slowly, "The three hundred coins are for my eldest sister's medical expenses. Do you think you can just pay for her medical expenses after you hurt her? You frightened her, so you must give her some compensation for her emotional distress. Oh, and there's also lost wages. She definitely won't be able to work for the time being because of you, so you must compensate her for all of that..."
Compensation for emotional distress?
Lost wages?
What the hell!
That brat, she's even trying to extort money from them.
Brother Jin was wondering whether or not to give them the money.
Song Qiu spoke again: "Unwilling to give it? Fine, I'll go find your boss..."
If it really escalates to the gambling den...
It would be strange if his employer didn't blame them for their incompetence.
Jin Ge really didn't expect Song Xia to be so difficult to deal with. After thinking it over, he decided to pay her: "Just name a number, how much do you want to pay me!"
"One tael of silver!"
Song Qiu replied to him.
Jin Ge gritted his teeth and paid the money.
When leaving.
He turned to Song Qiu and said, "You'd better be able to scrape together the money, otherwise, your whole family won't have a good life..."
They left.
Granny Song then told the villagers who had gathered to leave and asked Old Man Song to close the gate.
"mother…"
Before Song Lao Er and the others could even admit their mistake, they had already spoken.
Granny Song grabbed a broom and started beating them.
Song Xia was standing guard nearby.
Song Lao Er and the others didn't dare to hide.
This time, Granny Song was really fierce, and she beat her really hard.
Song Laosi's injuries hadn't healed yet, and this beating made it hurt even more: "Mother, Mother, please stop hitting us. We know we were wrong, we'll never do it again."
"That's right, that's right..."
Song Laosan echoed his words.
Song Lao Er also admitted his mistake: "Mother, please don't be angry. I promise you, we'll never gamble again. The reason we gambled this time was because we wanted to earn money to give our family a better life..."
Granny Song threw the broom aside and said, "You owe money, you pay it back yourselves!"
