Creditor Li Hu proposed to use Ergou's house and land to pay off the debt, and so many villagers can serve as witnesses.
He promised to only collect the principal. If the property under Ergouzi's name was not enough to pay off the debt, they would not take the rest. This would be the final deal today.
Ergouzi really wanted to ask, what would be the consequences if he didn’t want to sell his house and land to pay back the money?
Li Hu has seen countless gamblers. Want to be a deadbeat? You can try it too.
Er Gouzi felt a dull pain in his two severed fingers. After all, he was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Facing a man like Li Hu, he didn't even dare to fart.
Seeing that Ergouzi had no objection, the village chief and the elders discussed to see which family was willing to buy his property and land.
The small yard left by Ergou's parents is quite old. Ergou is usually very lazy and just fixes any leaks but never takes care of it.
He married a sickly wife who couldn't do heavy work. Ergouzi was upset about her failure to give birth to a son, so he ignored her and let her fend for herself.
After the person died, his brother-in-law saw that his sister's meager dowry was lost by the gambler. He was so angry that he beat up the bastard and took away the little girl left by his sister.
Er Gouzi also knew that the child would starve to death sooner or later if he followed him, so he did not stop him. He was also afraid that the debt collectors would come to his house and take the child away.
Although he didn't like this girl, she was his child after all.
After becoming addicted to gambling, he sold most of the land left by his parents, and now he only has a whole amount left.
Twenty acres of dry land and ten acres of paddy fields. The dry land costs about four taels of silver per acre, and the paddy fields cost seven taels.
Add to that a dilapidated house, the total value is about one hundred and fifty taels.
The villagers paid to buy his family's dilapidated house, and were willing to pay two taels of silver out of respect for the deceased old couple.
Yunshan Village has only become wealthy in the past year, and no one has much money.
The price of dry land was cheap, so the twenty acres of land were divided up.
Paddy fields are too expensive. They want to buy them, but they are short of money.
Er Gouzi looked at the deeds and documents in front of the village chief, especially the pile of scattered silver, and couldn't help feeling jealous.
These people obviously had family backgrounds, but when they tried to steal something from him, they would cry and scream as if they couldn't live anymore.
He originally wanted to keep some land, but when he saw these cold-blooded guys, he felt bored and simply sold all the land. With money in his hands, he could make a living anywhere.
Li Hu and his group collected the 40 taels of capital and wanted to retreat, but when he turned around, he saw Han Zeyu eating popcorn.
Not only did he eat it himself, he also distributed it to the children in the village. There was not enough sugar in this pot, so he didn't like it.
The innocent children had no idea of the adults' sinister intentions. They happily accepted the sweet popcorn and thanked Brother Han together.
Han Zeyu nodded lovingly and turned back to whisper to Tiezhu, "Don't be stingy. Remember to put double the sugar."
Tiezhu reminded him, "Master, you said that eating too much sugar will make you fat."
Han Zeyu glared at him and immediately expelled him from the sect!
He grabbed the brother and sister and asked them if they had gained weight.
Han Yumo shook her head cleverly, while Han Zeli, the little fool, nodded and said sincerely, "Brother, your face has become rounder."
Han Zeyu kicked him and angrily said, "You know shit!"
He took out a small string of copper coins, patted the little sister's head, and praised her: "This is a reward for honest children. Spend it!"
Han Yumo had recently been learning to count, and estimated that the string of copper coins weighed about twenty coins. She accepted the gift from her eldest brother, smiled sweetly, and said coquettishly, "My eldest brother is the best, as he is kind and beautiful."
One dared to praise, the other dared to believe. Han Zeyu happily picked up his sister and spun her around.
This little girl is good at talking and talks a lot, and he likes to listen.
The unwelcome Tiezhu and Han Zeli squatted together, experiencing the fickleness of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world.
Noticing Li Hu's gaze, Han Zeyu put his sister down, touched his throat with his hand, and said with a smile, "Are you sober?"
The villagers around were talking about it, and no one paid attention to what Han Zeyu said.
Li Hu understood what he meant, and he changed direction in an instant when he was about to leave, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Oh my goodness~ They are not hiding anything and are playing it out in the open. If I say something wrong, will I be silenced?
Trying hard to calm his turbulent mood, Li Hu stood beside Er Gouzi again, leaned over and patted his shoulder, chuckled and said, "Brother, don't forget us when you become rich. Come and play with us again when you have the chance."
Li Hu said this before he led his brothers to evacuate. Before they had gone far, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.
Turning around stiffly, he found a silver bean on the ground. Li Hu glanced at someone a hundred meters away and didn't dare to say a word. He picked up the reward from the hero and ran away decisively.
He will never come to Yunshan Village again. It’s so scary!
He was afraid, and Ergouzi was even more afraid than him. He was afraid that he could no longer stay in Yunshan Village.
He glanced at the money on the table, gritted his teeth, walked to a nearby distance and knelt down in front of Han Zeyu.
"Master Han, I know you don't like these lands, but the location of those ten acres of paddy fields is really good. Please raise your hand and take them! I won't be an eyesore in the village anymore. We say goodbye today and we won't meet again. Please be kind and I kowtow to you."
Han Zeyu stood aside. This man's words were not very credible.
People like Ergou will probably come back to the gambling table in the future, but it has nothing to do with him, as long as he can get out of here.
