"Everyone from the Liang family, get out here! Pay the money back now! If you don't pay me back, I'll make you suffer!"
As soon as the man who was banging on the door shouted, Jiang Jiuyue roughly guessed what was going on.
It is estimated that the Liang family could not afford the fine, but did not dare to shirk their debt to the government, so they borrowed money from these people. Now they cannot pay it back, and the debt collectors have come to their home.
Seeing Jiang Jiuyue standing at the door of the Liang family, Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Are you from the Liang family?"
Jiang Jiuyue shook her head, anger showing on her face, "I'm here to settle accounts with that old hag of the Liang family!"
When he heard that she was not a member of the Liang family, Xiao Han ignored her and several people broke down the door of the Liang family together.
"Where are the people? Are they all dead? Come out and pay the money! If you don't come out, I'll burn your house down and see if you can come out!"
The door was smashed open and they were threatened to set the house on fire. The Liang family had no choice but to come out with sad faces.
However, the only people who came out were Du Jinhua and her two daughters-in-law. The three men, including her grandson Liang Chengyong, were nowhere to be seen. They were probably taken away to perform corvée labor.
"Where's the money? When are you going to pay it back? Or are you planning on defaulting on it?"
Du Jinhua was interrogated like this, her legs were shaking like sieves, and she wanted to kneel down in front of the men.
"Gentlemen, please give us a few more days. All the men in my family have been taken away to do corvée labor, and we women really can't afford the money!"
The Han said with a snort, "The men in your family have to do corvée labor for three years. Do you think we brothers will wait for you for three years?"
Judging from the tone of the man, it was obvious that he would not let up. After all, they were debt collectors. If they let the debtors go just by saying a few words, they would probably never be able to recover the debts in their lifetime.
The debt collectors were brought to her home, and all the men were not at home. If the family had any solution, they would not have to borrow such high-interest loans. Du Jinhua was about to collapse just thinking about it.
Du Jinhua sat down on the ground and cried miserably, and her two daughters-in-law also hugged their children and cried beside her. If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would really think what a pitiful family it was.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful here. We have seen a lot. Do you think you can avoid paying back the money just because you dropped a few drops of horse urine? If you don't pay back today, I will sell your daughter to pay off the debt!"
One of the men obviously took a fancy to Liang Chun'er who was hiding beside Chen Cuihong. She was eleven years old now, which was the right age for her to make a move.
Chen Cuihong was so scared that she quickly hid Liang Chun'er in her arms and begged with tears, "Please let my Chun'er go. We will definitely find a way to pay the money back. Please give us a few more days!"
The Han spit out the water in disdain, "Can you pay it back in a few days? Don't lie to me! If you can't pay today, we will take your daughter away!"
Another man pointed at the youngest, Liang Xiang'er, and said, "At this age, she's suitable to be sold as a maid. The two of them together can almost balance the account."
Ma Guichun was also frightened. She understood that if she wanted to keep the child, she could only force Du Jinhua to give her money. This damn old woman must have secretly hidden some silver and not told them!
"You damn old woman! Spit out the silver! You're still hiding it at this time! There's no point hiding it in a coffin!"
Ma Guichun pounced on Du Jinhua and started fighting wildly. Chen Cuihong reacted and immediately joined the fight.
The men did not stop them at all, as they understood clearly that the two daughters-in-law suspected that their mother-in-law had hidden some money and was helping them collect the debt.
Jiang Jiuyue was also watching with great interest, and almost cracked some melon seeds.
Du Jinhua was beaten by her two daughters-in-law so badly that she couldn't even scream. She could only cry out occasionally. It was not until the two women were tired of beating her that they let her go temporarily.
"I don't have any money, I really don't!"
Du Jinhua felt that she was even more wronged than Dou E. If she had money, would she still agree to let her son borrow money from a loan shark?
Chen Cuihong and Ma Guichun didn't believe it, especially since if they couldn't pay the money today, their two daughters would be sold. Even if they had to kill Du Jinhua, they would have to get the money from her.
They believed that the silver hidden by Du Jinhua was the only hope for their daughters not to be sold, and they would desperately grasp this glimmer of hope and would never let go.
But Du Jinhua really had no money left. All her savings were in that wooden box, which had been taken away by Jiang Jiuyue. She couldn't take out any money.
By the end of the fight, Du Jinhua was already out of breath, and the men knew that she really had no money, otherwise she wouldn't have been so stubborn even after being beaten like that.
"Okay, stop messing around. How much money does this old woman have? You won't get a penny even if you beat her to death. It's better to hand her over obediently so that we don't waste our time here."
"Do you want to hand the person over, or do you want us to take him away?"
Several of the men had lost their patience and were about to snatch people from Chen Cuihong and Ma Guichun.
At this moment, Chen Cuihong suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the yard.
She rushed over as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
"Jiuyue! Please save us! Chun'er and Xiang'er can't be sold!"
Chen Cuihong knelt at Jiang Jiuyue's feet and kowtowed to her madly.
She remembered that Jiang Jiuyue had taken the money that the third brother brought back from his business trip, so she must have money!
Ma Guichun also crawled over and kowtowed with Chen Cuihong, "Please, Jiuyue, you can't just stand by and watch them die. They will sell Chun'er and Xiang'er to a lowly place! No matter what, they are still your nieces!"
Chen Cuihong pulled her trouser legs and cried, "You also have daughters, Jiuyue, please save Chun'er and Xiang'er!"
Jiang Jiuyue looked at them coldly, "When you wanted to sell my daughter to build a new house for Liang Chengyong, why didn't you think that you also have a daughter?"
Chen Cuihong's crying stopped abruptly, as if something was strangled around the neck and she couldn't make a sound.
"The law of nature is clear, and retribution will come. Now it is your daughter's turn to be sold. Do you think we will be kind enough to pay you back? You are dreaming!"
Jiang Jiuyue kicked the man away, walked up to Du Jinhua, and slapped her a few times to wake her up.
Du Jinhua hadn't seen Jiang Jiuyue for a long time. When she saw her face appear in front of her, an inexplicable fear emerged in her mind.
Jiang Jiuyue didn't say much. He lifted Du Jinhua up by the collar, aimed at her mouth, and punched her hard with his supernatural power.
An expression of extreme pain emerged on Du Jinhua's face. She moved her mouth for a long time and spat out a bunch of bloody teeth.
Jiang Jiuyue let go of her and threw her to the ground like a rag.
"The next time I hear any rumors about me, I will cut off all your tongues and feed them to the dogs."
After saying that, Jiang Jiuyue left the Liang family amid the shocked gazes of several men.
