Jiang San Niang remained silent, while Bai Nuo said, "What do we want to say? Please give us some pointers."
Zhao Jinhu gritted his teeth and said, "I heard you're packing up your valuables, preparing to go back to your hometown!"
Bai Nuo nodded. "You know that too? Well, what can we do? Hu Mingmei is just unlucky. Your older brother died in our shop. Now that he's going to die, we can't keep the business going. Do you expect me to stay here and make Hu Mingmei a widow?"
Bai Nuoyi complained, noticing Zhao Jinhu's face growing increasingly dark. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Zhao Jinhu said, "Someone died, shouldn't you compensate them?"
Bai Nuo looked at Zhao Jinhu with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean, 'compensate'? Wasn't Hu Mingmei supposed to pay for your brother's life in the capital? Hu Mingmei has already done what he preached: 'a debt must be repaid, a murderer must pay with his life.' Why should we compensate him? We don't owe you anything!"
Bai Nuo grew increasingly annoyed as she spoke, and pulled Jiang San Niang past them, saying, "Get out of my way, I want to go home!"
Zhao Jinhu grabbed her. Bai Nuo turned around and saw Zhao Jinhu's cold face and angry tone, "How can we not owe him? My elder brother's eldest son is only six years old, and the younger one is still in his belly. If my elder brother dies, who will support his family? Will his whole family starve to death? Paying with his life is far from enough. You also have to compensate my elder brother with money!"
Bai Nuo's face also turned cold, and he shouted, "I have no money. If you want money, go find Hu Mingmei. He has money!"
"Hu Mingmei's entire fortune is in your hands, who are you trying to fool?" Zhao Jinhu clearly didn't believe him! "If you can't come up with the money, then come with us until your family can!"
Zhao Jinhu planned to kidnap Bai Nuo and let Jiang San Niang go back to get the money. When Bai Nuo realized that she couldn't leave, she shouted, "Lu Ying, help! Someone is trying to kidnap me!"
"Is there someone else?" Zhao Jinhu was startled and subconsciously looked ahead. He saw a man walking in from the alley entrance, exuding an invisible pressure. Zhao Jinhu was shocked and turned to leave, but the exit was blocked.
Lu Ying smiled and said, "Zhao Jinhu, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
