What if all the men in the village come to help him if he takes action?
"You shameless Zhang Bapi, all my second brother owes your gambling den a little money! Do you have to hit women and children? Do you still want to live in this county? I'm telling you today, if you hadn't hit our Gu family's women, I would have returned the money with both hands. But now that you've hit people, I'm not giving you the money! If you've got the guts, come and fight me!"
Gu Shouxin's elder brother, Gu Shouren, slammed his hoe into the ground and said fiercely.
"Hey, Boss Gu! I didn't lay a hand on her at all. Who knows what that woman and that brat were up to? We usually just beat up Boss Gu. Have you ever seen us lay a hand on a woman? Also, this time Boss Gu's debt isn't like the previous ones. I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back even if you offer it to him with both hands."
The debt collector was frightened by Gu Shouren's appearance, but he couldn't just refuse to collect the money because he was frightened; otherwise, Gu Shouren would be in even worse shape when he got back.
"You hit my second aunt and sister, so you were in the wrong. Now they're bleeding from their foreheads, you have to pay compensation!"
Gu Hui, the eldest daughter of the first wife, held a sickle in one hand and a carrying pole in the other. After checking Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian's other parts, she stood next to her father and said.
"Yes, pay up!"
The eldest son of the first wife, Gu En, who is only a few months younger than Gu Xin, also stood next to his older sister.
"We'll pay for the medicine and then talk about Second Brother's debts to your gambling den."
Gu Shouli, the fourth son of the Gu family, seemed much more composed, but he also supported his nephew and niece's wishes.
Looking at the original owner's brother and niece, Gu Shouxin couldn't understand what the original owner was thinking. This family seemed to be a good family, so why would they be so stupid as to gamble?
Gambling isn't just about luck; it also requires brains.
The biggest reason why the original owner lost money, in my opinion, is because the original owner was brainless.
He habitually walked out the door with his hands behind his back and went up to the debt collector: "Two taels of silver for medicine, three hundred taels for gambling debts, I will come to pay you back in ten days."
"Who do you think you are? Two taels of silver? In ten days, you... Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts, be gentle, be gentle."
The debt collector was about to yell at someone when Gu Shouxin grabbed his arm and turned him around, which hurt him terribly.
"Yes, the medicine money has been paid, but the gambling debts...gambling debts? What? Second brother! You actually owe three hundred taels in gambling debts!"
Gu Shouren realized what he had said as soon as he spoke: three hundred taels. He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide enough to swallow a whole egg.
"Second Uncle, you should have taught these people a lesson long ago! You always got beaten up, and I secretly resented you for a long time!"
Gu En ran over and said excitedly.
He had no concept of money. At ten years old, he had never carried more than two coins in his pocket in his life, but he was very excited to see his second uncle subdue the other man in one fell swoop.
With the debt collector captured, his men were bound to help, but Gu Shouren, Gu Shouli, and Gu Hui blocked their way with hoes, sickles, and carrying poles.
"Ten days. I only need a maximum of ten days. If you don't believe me and insist on making things difficult for my family, then don't blame me for being impolite today!"
Gu Shouxin put in even more effort.
"Okay, okay, ten days, ten days, brother, please let me go!"
The debt collector felt like his arm was about to break, so he quickly agreed.
Gu Shouxin released the man.
"Gu Lao Er, you'd better not lie to us, or you'll be in for a world of trouble when our Sixth Master arrives."
After stretching his arms, the debt collector regained some of his momentum, but lacked confidence. He turned to leave after speaking.
As a result, Gu Shouxin stopped him.
