Qiao Si lay on the bed in despair, surrounded by crying, scolding, and yelling, but he could not hear a single word.
At this moment, Qiao Si could only see the group of people's mouths opening and closing, but could not hear any sound.
Originally, his heart should have been complicated, as if it were overgrown with weeds.
But for some reason, after he jumped and did not die but only broke his two legs, he suddenly felt calm.
After going through the motions between life and death, he suddenly felt that everything was so ridiculous and insignificant.
Do wealth, prosperity, and power really have any meaning?
Of course, after death, everything is empty. Even if you are the emperor, what can you do? A hundred years later, all the people of Zhao and Yan will be dead.
What’s the use of having a lot of money? You can’t bring it with you when you are born and you can’t take it with you when you die. Even if you are rich, can these things still work for you after you die?
So Qiao Si felt relieved. He suddenly felt that even if he lost eight or nine out of ten of his family's money, it didn't seem like a big deal.
"Laugh! You still have the nerve to laugh! You beast! My Qiao family's century-old fortune has all been destroyed in your hands!"
The eldest master of the Qiao family pointed at Qiao Si with a furious look on his face, as if he wanted to eat his flesh alive.
The other members of the Qiao family also looked at Qiao Si with very unfriendly eyes, as if they were ready to fight if they disagreed.
The third master of the Qiao family even muttered to himself, "I knew there was something fishy going on. I knew it was a mistake. I really shouldn't have borrowed the money in the first place. What should I do now?"
At this moment, Qiao Si also came to his senses, and he could finally hear the noisy noise around him.
Looking at his uncles, Qiao Si curled his lips in disdain and said, "Why are you the only ones here? Where's the old man?"
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to mention the old man? He's been so angry at you that he's bedridden! You bastard, what sin did my Qiao family commit to give birth to a scum like you? You've squandered our huge fortune so easily!"
Qiao Si looked at these so-called relatives in front of him with a sneer on his face. He said, "I'm just confused. When we first decided to speculate on Artemisia annua, our family discussed it, and you all agreed at that time. What's wrong? When you thought you could make money, it was because of your own ability. Now that you're losing money, it's my fault."
"When I first told the old man, I said I wanted to give it a try myself. I didn't drag the whole family into this together."
"In the end, isn't it your own fault that you were blinded by the immediate benefits? Now that something has happened, you want to put all the blame on me? No wonder the old man looks down on you guys. With this level of responsibility, even if the Qiao family is handed over to you, it will slowly decline!"
It is one thing for Qiao Si to take everything lightly, but it is another thing to let people put the blame directly on his head.
Besides, why should he take the blame for these losers?
Qiao Si's words once again angered the Qiao family members, and all kinds of dirty words filled the room.
In fact, they also knew that Qiao Si could not be blamed entirely for this matter, but as Qiao Si said, now that such a big thing has happened, someone has to take the blame.
If Qiao Si doesn't take the blame, then they have to share it.
Putting aside whether they can bear the responsibility of squandering most of the family's wealth, the psychological pressure alone makes them unwilling to take the blame.
Do you think the Qiao family's old man is really ill? Is there a slight possibility that he is unwilling to bear the terrible consequences?
Just as everyone was arguing again, a servant came running in from outside, tumbling and crawling, saying, "Third Master, something bad has happened. There's a man named Ding San outside who wants to see you. He says you owe him money and it's time to pay it back."
Upon hearing this, the third master of the Qiao family felt a pang of fear in his heart. Then, with a pale face, he looked at another male member of the Qiao family and said, "Brothers, now that the creditor has come to our door, what should we do? We must come up with a plan to deal with it."
The Qiao family's eldest uncle's hands were shaking as he stroked his beard, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Third brother, you have to stay calm. You can't panic at this time. It's just a debt. Our Qiao family has a long tradition of poetry and literature, so we will definitely not default on our debts. Give him two days. We're borrowing such a large amount, so we should at least give us some time to raise the funds."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Let's use this excuse. Third brother, hold on for now. I just remembered that I have something else to deal with. I'll go take care of it."
When the third master of the Qiao family saw this scene, he also became nervous.
"Brothers, we can't be so disloyal! I'm supposed to back you up? What can I do? Don't you brothers know what kind of person the lender is?"
Yes, these days wealthy families, especially landlords like the Qiao family, are naturally well aware of the morality of lending money because they lend money themselves.
If you really can't pay back the money, selling your children is the most basic thing to do.
You all agreed to lend me the money, but now that something's wrong and I need to pay you back, you all run away? What a joke!
The third master of the Qiao family was unwilling to let these people go, and Ding San was even more unwilling to let them go.
So before these people could leave the hall, Ding San had already brought people to block the door.
He walked into the hall with a calm, even slightly arrogant demeanor, taking gaited steps. He looked at the Qiao family and said with a contemptuous smile, "Oh, everyone is here. That saves me the trouble. Everyone, you should know why I'm here."
