Chapter 96 You Hit Me
"Get out of the way. I must get this money back." Gu Chongshan pushed Zhang Dahua aside.
Seeing Gu Chongshan continue to walk out, Zhang Dahua simply shouted: "He has already taken the silver to pay his debt. You won't be able to find him."
When Gu Chongshan heard this, he was so angry that he almost fainted. He turned around and slapped Zhang Dahua in the face: "Do you think that this matter is over just because he took it away?
Humph, come on, follow me out to find him. If you don't get the silver back, then there's no need to come back."
After saying that, he pulled Zhang Dahua forward, and it seemed that he was determined to get the money back.
Zhang Dahua was completely unaware of this and was dragged forward by Gu Chongshan, stumbling along.
Zhang Dahua was still immersed in the slap Gu Chongshan had given him: "You...you hit me. You haven't hit me in all these years, and now you hit me for such a small thing."
Zhang Dahua muttered to herself.
Gu Chongshan ignored him and just pulled her forward.
Gu Chongshan was determined to get the money back. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Gu Bei, but he couldn't.
He asked himself that among his sons, if he could not say that he treated the second one the best, then it was almost the same.
But the second son has no idea of being grateful. When things go well for him, he never thinks about his parents who gave birth to him.
It’s this grocery store. They contributed both money and effort, but I never saw him buy anything for them?
It’s not that as his parents we are greedy for his little things, but even if we give them half a pound of salt from the shop, it’s a little bit of thought, isn’t it?
But the old couple didn't see a single thing, but they heard that Gu Bei took a lot of things to Li Yingdi's parents' home.
For someone like Gu Bei, it is impossible to expect him to be filial to his parents in the future.
Another thing is that they don’t have only one son, Gu Bei. Previously, the other sons were very dissatisfied with opening this grocery store for Gu Bei.
Now the old woman took the money in the family to pay off Gu Bei’s debt, and it happened that this money was the betrothal gift for the fourth son.
The old woman never thought that without the betrothal gifts, what would they use to propose marriage in half a month?
If this delayed the fourth brother's marriage, would he be willing? If things got out of hand, wouldn't he resent the old couple? Even the second and fourth brothers might have a rift in the future.
Gu Chongshan walked very fast, and he did not slow down even when holding Zhang Dahua in his hand.
After walking for a while, Zhang Dahua finally came to his senses and started struggling violently: "Dad, where are you taking me? Let me go."
"Go find Gu Bei." Gu Chongshan not only did not stop, but also quickened his pace.
"His father, let's go back? Don't ask for it. Let's just consider it as the last time we help the second brother." Zhang Dahua said as he was dragged away.
"Impossible. Why should I, Gu, pay off the debt owed by the Li family? Whoever owes the debt should be held responsible?" said Gu Chongshan.
"I know I shouldn't ask Lao Er to pay it back, but the people in the casino are unreasonable. If you don't pay me back, they will go to the grocery store to cause trouble.
I heard they wanted the Li family boy's hand if I didn't pay back the money. I was also worried that they might attack the second brother next.
What if the Li family can't pay back the money, won't the casino ask the second brother to pay?" This is the real reason why Zhang Dahua gave Gu Bei the money.
She didn't return the money to the Li family, but was worried that her son would be implicated.
"He deserves it. I told him not to marry Li Yingdi in the first place, but he refused to listen.
He usually holds his brother-in-law from the Yue family by his side and pampers him, but why doesn’t he treat his own brother like this?
You don't need to say anything more, I will definitely return the money, if you don't want to go, just go back on your own." Gu Chongshan let go of his hand.
Zhang Dahua wanted to go back, but she was afraid that Gu Chongshan would see Gu Bei and the two of them would quarrel again?
At least she'll follow me and be able to persuade me when the time comes.
Gu Chongshan walked very fast, and Zhang Dahua followed him jogging behind.
Gu Bei didn't know that Gu Chongshan had come out to look for him. He was sitting at his father-in-law's house.
"Father-in-law, you'd better make a decision quickly on this matter. I don't think it's easy to talk to the casino.
If I don’t pay the money back quickly, I’m afraid my brother-in-law will be in trouble.” Gu Bei didn’t reveal that he had received twenty taels of silver.
He was not stupid. It turned out that the reason he wanted to pay off the debt for the Li family was because of his wife. He loved Li Yingdi and it was almost the same as if he had to obey Li Yingdi's every word.
Secondly, he was afraid that if he couldn't pay back the money, the people from the casino would come after him. He was also afraid of being beaten up and losing an arm or a leg.
Don’t say that every wrong has its perpetrator, people who can run casinos are not reasonable, they are all cruel and ruthless people.
Gu Bei wanted to do business in the town for a long time, and he didn't want to offend the people in the casino.
It’s not that Gu Bei’s father-in-law is short of money, he just doesn’t want to go out and pay the debt himself.
He wanted Gu Bei to return the money, but he couldn't say this directly to Gu Bei. However, he couldn't say it to his son-in-law, but he could say it to his daughter.
So he didn't respond to Gu Bei's words, but instead inquired about why his daughter didn't come back: "Son-in-law, why did you come back alone? Where is Yingdi?"
"Yingdi is with my parents. We went back today. Yingdi was so pregnant and it was hard for her to run back and forth, so I let her rest at home for two days." Gu Bei said.
When Old Man Li heard that Li Yingdi had not returned, he cursed in his heart: This damn girl, her brother is in such a big trouble, and she is still slacking off.
Wait until she comes out and see how he deals with her."
But now I have to coax my son-in-law Gu Bei to pay the money.
"Son-in-law, my family really has no money. How about this? You can advance it to us first, and I will return it to you when I have money." said the old man Li.
"Where would I get the money? Didn't Yingdi and my brother-in-law tell you? My brother-in-law has gambled away all the money in my house.
Now I don’t even have money to purchase goods. The reason I came here this time was to ask my father-in-law to return the money that my brother-in-law took from me.
"It would be better if I could buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to sell first. Otherwise, Yingdi will be born soon and we don't have a penny. Will we be left with nothing after the baby is born?" Gu Bei said.
When Old Man Li heard that Gu Bei not only didn't want to help pay the debt but also wanted money, he was unwilling to agree.
"If my family had money, I would definitely give it to you. Yingdi is my daughter, how can I watch her live a miserable life?
Life is really difficult at home. Although the harvest from the fields has been good in the past two years, the family expenses are also high.
Son-in-law, I still need your help in this matter." Old man Li cried poorly.
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have the money. Father-in-law, you should find a solution quickly, right?
The casino only gave us three days, and today is already the second day. If I can't pay the money after three days, I'm afraid my brother-in-law will suffer." Gu Bei also insisted that he had no money.
