Chapter 268 No Money, Wife, or Children

Day 3.

early morning.

Five burly men walked out of the main gate of the city's casino.

They went straight to the Bai family's house.

After knocking on the door.

Wan Zhen opened the door in his coat, but before he could say anything, several people rushed in.

"The day has come, where is the money?"

The leading thug said viciously.

He stuck the familiar dagger into the tree trunk.

It looks scary.

"I, I'll take it over here." Wan Zhen swallowed and said tremblingly.

Her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She hurried back to the house, put on her clothes, and took out the wooden box hidden under the bed. There were nine silver bills in it. She took away six of them. Then she went to the next room to wake up Bai Qianshan and gave him the silver bills.

He went to the backyard to call his son Bai Jizu.

"My Lords, the six hundred taels are here. As for the IOU, can you return it to us now?"

Bai Qianshan is smarter than Wanzhen.

He did not give the banknotes directly to the casino thugs.

Instead, he wanted to hand over the money in one hand and get the IOU in the other.

What if the latter tries to cheat and says his family never gave him any banknotes?

What credibility do these thugs have?

He didn't believe it anyway.

He won't give it to me until he gets the loan note.

"No problem. As long as you pay off the money, I will definitely give you the IOU. But your six hundred taels is not enough."

The thug smiled evilly.

He stroked his beard with one hand.

"What? Not enough? Why not? Didn't we agree on six hundred taels? Ji Zu, tell me yourself, do you owe six hundred taels?"

Hearing footsteps behind him, Bai Qianshan turned his neck and asked his son.

Wanzhen, who came with his son, happened to hear this.

She felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Standing there stupidly.

"It's six hundred taels. I just borrowed six hundred taels. How can it not be enough?"

Bai Jizu was also stunned.

He looked at the thugs with confusion on his face.

Next second.

A promissory note appeared in front of them.

Bai Jizu watched carefully from half a meter away.

Suddenly, he found a line of small words in the lower right corner.

It said that if the money was not repaid on time, an additional 100 taels of interest would be charged for each day of delay.

They were two days late.

In other words, the total amount to be repaid is eight hundred taels.

However, when he signed his name, he clearly did not see this line of words.

Bai Jizu looked at the leader of the thugs.

The latter pulled the dagger from the tree trunk and waved it in front of him.

"The extra two hundred taels are interest. Otherwise, do you think I have nothing to do and will give you two more days? Bring me eight hundred taels and I will return the IOU to you. Otherwise, you and your whole family will wait for reincarnation."

When the words were on the tip of his tongue, Bai Jizu was frightened by the actions and words of the thugs and swallowed them back.

How dare he ask again?

"Mom, please take it out quickly. If you don't give it to me, our family will be finished."

The wounds on my body haven't healed yet.

Bai Jizu took two steps back and whispered something to Wan Zhen.

"Why do you give me two hundred taels more? I don't accept it! I'm going to report it to the police. You guys in the casino are robbing me in broad daylight. I won't give you any more money. I won't give you a single penny now!"

The house at home is sold in a hurry.

As a result, it was only sold for 900 taels.

After purchasing the property from the real estate agent, the family only had to move out within three days.

It was a full one hundred taels short of the one thousand taels she expected.

It took her all night to come to terms with the reality.

Originally, she thought that after paying back the six hundred taels, she would use the remaining three hundred taels to buy a smaller house, one without a yard and with a smaller house that was barely livable. It would cost just over two hundred taels at most, and she would use the remaining money to buy the shop.

Let her son use it to do some business.

I don't care how much money I make, as long as I can make a living.

But inexplicably, I got an extra two hundred taels of interest.

All her plans were disrupted.

With only one hundred taels left, why would she buy a house or a shop?

Even in the most dilapidated and run-down Wanlu Street and Baihu Lane, you can’t buy a house for just one hundred taels.

Unless it is a single room, you may still be able to buy it.

But there is no room for a family of five like them.

Without these two hundred taels.

The gap is huge.

Wan Zhen would never compromise.

After saying that, she walked towards the door.

But before his hand touched the bolt, the thugs grabbed his hair and dragged him back.

Her mouth was held tightly with a cloth by the thugs, and she could not make any sound except for whimpering.

A family of three was dragged and taken to a house by five thugs.

A beating with fists and feet.

The eight hundred taels were finally handed over.

It took a long time for the thugs to leave.

Bai Qianshan and Bai Jizu, who were lying on the ground, trembled and climbed up by feeling the wall. They all had injuries on their bodies. Bai Jizu was the worst injured. He was not well to begin with, and now several of his teeth were knocked out.

One of his eyes was dark blue and swollen, which looked particularly scary.

"It's over now, it's all over, one hundred taels, only one hundred taels left, how are we going to survive..."

Wanzhen sat on the chair, ignoring the pain in her body.

Crying loudly.

She cried about her miserable life and why she had to marry Bai Qianshan.

She cried for her good food and drink, but he gave birth to an ungrateful son and squandered all her dowry.

Crying for her miserable life.

Then he started to summon spirits again.

Call her father and concubine back to the human world and let them take Bai Qianshan and his son away.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have this ability.

"Dad, Mom, please come and save me, take these two damned people away, they have hurt me so badly, Mom, Dad, what should I do, wuwuwu——"

The crying father and son supported each other and walked away.

The deadline for handing over the house has arrived.

The family of three moved to Baihu Lane on Wanlu Street.

Wanzhen bought a single room there.

There is only one room, and you can see the bed when you open the door.

There is not even a window.

The room was extremely dark. If we didn't light the oil lamp at night, we wouldn't be able to see each other's faces.

Everything was in tatters, luckily it didn't rain.

Otherwise the basins will not be enough to catch the rainwater leaking from the roof.

Even this costs ninety-five taels.

Wan Zhen secretly hid the remaining five taels without letting anyone know.

After settling in.

She forced Bai Jizu to bring his daughter-in-law and grandson back.

It's ridiculous to always live in my mother's house.

She hadn't seen her grandson for several days and she missed him so much.

Now, the family's only hope rests on the grandson. As long as they raise him up, he might become successful and be able to move back to the big house with his family.

Because he had no money, Bai Jizu rented an ox cart.

After a bumpy ride, we arrived at Baishui Town at the end of noon.

Bai Jizu, hungry, got off the ox cart empty-handed.

He planned to have a meal at Yue's house before leaving, but after entering, he was completely dumbfounded.

"What did you say? Qiao'er and Wangye didn't come back? You are not lying to me, are you? I don't believe it. Qiao'er, Qiao'er! My son, Wangye! Dad is here to pick you up. Where are you? Where are you?"

Bai Jizu searched everywhere.

Even the pigpen was not spared.
