40. Chapter 40 Thanks to You



"Those people? Who are they?" Wang was still very concerned about her elder brother, so she asked immediately, having a bad feeling in her heart.

"They are from the gambling house. Your brother owes the gambling house money, and they are here to collect the debt. They are all very ferocious. They said that if your brother can't pay the money next time, they will chop off one of his fingers, one for each time he fails to pay, until he pays back. Your father and I are so worried about this that our hair has turned white. Your brother is the only child in our family, the backbone of our family. What will happen if something happens to him? Even if something happens to us two old guys, we can't let your brother get hurt. But they don't believe us at all."

Wang is still a character. She was just a little flustered when she first heard about the accident, but now she has quickly calmed down. "Dad, Mom, how much money does my brother owe to the gambling house?"

"It seems that he still owes the gambling house fifty taels of silver. All the livestock and valuables in the family were used to pay off the debt. Our family can't even come up with such a large sum of money."

"Then go and borrow some money. The people in the gambling houses only care about money and not people. They are very cruel. If you don't get the money by the due date, they will not let you go. Let's borrow some money first and pay it back. We can't let anything happen to you." Wang said firmly, but Wang Desheng and his wife were not so optimistic.

"My daughter, it's easier said than done. With so much money, where can we borrow it from and who can we borrow it from? Your mother and I have already gone to every place we can to borrow money from, but no one is willing to lend us money. Even if someone is willing, they can only get three or four taels of silver, not even a fraction of the original amount."

"Go to my uncle's house and ask him to borrow some. Aren't they doing well? My cousin works as a maid in the Su family and has saved a lot of money over the years. They also hold all my grandparents' personal money. They can definitely come up with fifty taels of silver. You can't write a character for a king with two strokes of the pen. Although we have separated a long time ago, we are still a family after all. Moreover, our two families have had a good relationship over the years. They will not just stand by and watch our family get into trouble."

"If your uncle and his family were willing to lend us money, we wouldn't be so worried now. When we went to your uncle's house to borrow money, they didn't even open the door and didn't let us in." Wang Desheng was very angry when he said this.

"How is it possible? Uncle and his family wouldn't be so heartless. Even if we don't consider the relationship between the two families, they wouldn't do this for grandma's sake. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Wang felt that although her uncle's family was snobbish, they would not be so heartless. In the past, they were willing to help with small favors. Now they could not go to them for help. Although they might not be able to borrow fifty taels of silver, they should be able to borrow some to make up the number. If it really didn't work, she would have to go back to her husband's family and ask for help. Besides, the fourth son's wife's family was so wealthy, fifty taels of silver was just a matter of raising her hand.

In the past, Wang always felt unfair, so she disdained every bit of good things from Su Wenyue. It was not that she was really so noble and didn't care, but she was just more greedy. In her eyes, the benefits Su Wenyue brought to the family were nothing at all. She had already set her eyes on other things. The things Su Wenyue brought in her dowry must be good things.

Wang Desheng was desperate and went to the door but was rejected. He was so angry when he thought that he was his own brother and he treated his family like this. Now he thinks that maybe it was a misunderstanding: "Maybe it's true what my daughter said. Your uncle has never been like this before."

"Then let's go to my uncle's house again. I just happen to have something I want to ask." In addition to borrowing money, Wang had always kept the matter of the handkerchief in her heart. She was thinking of going to her cousin one day to ask her what happened to the handkerchief and how she could have taken the wrong handkerchief and given the maid's handkerchief to her, causing her to embarrass herself in front of the Han family. However, her cousin was usually at the Su's house and seldom came back.

Wang followed Wang Desheng and his wife to Wang Decai's house. This time, they knocked on the door for a long time before it was opened. However, the eldest aunt Qian did not look at them in a good mood: "What are you doing here? You think it's not enough to harm my family? You are so shameless to come here!"

After Qian finished speaking, she left the door open, flicked her sleeves and went straight into the house, not caring about Wang Desheng's family at all, leaving them standing at the door.

Wang Desheng and the other two looked at each other. They felt a little embarrassed to be left alone like this. However, this also showed that Wang Decai's family really had a misunderstanding about them. They thought that as long as the misunderstanding was resolved, everything would be fine. So the three of them walked into the house. They couldn't just stand there forever.

When they arrived at the main room, they found that Wang Decai's entire family was there. The old lady of the Wang family, Wang Jin, was sitting in the main seat with a stern face. All the family members had sad faces. Even Wang Fangru, the cousin who worked for the Su family, was at home. She also had a gloomy face. When she saw them, she didn't smile at all. Instead, she became even more gloomy and snorted at them.

Seeing this, Wang walked forward with a smile and took Wang Fangru's hand, but Wang Fangru shook her off in annoyance. A trace of gloom flashed across Wang's face, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she smiled again: "Cousin, why are you at home today? It's really rare. I was thinking about going to see you someday."

"Why am I at home? It's all because of you. You still have the nerve to ask! You used to be jealous of our Fangru for getting a good job in the Su family, saving a lot of money for the family every year. Now that Fangru has been fired by the Su family and has ended up like this, you are happy. I told Fangru not to associate with those people with bad intentions, because they will hurt her sooner or later!"

Before Wang Fangru could answer, Qian launched into a barrage of complaints. Wang Desheng's family finally figured out something was going on: Wang Fangru had actually been fired by the Su family.

Wang endured Qian's scolding and reproach. They came here today to ask for help, and there was no way they could fall out with Qian. She had to swallow her anger and make things clear first.

"Aunt, how can you say that? Fangru and I are cousins ​​and we both have Wang family blood. I'm so happy that Fangru is getting better, so how could I wish she wasn't well? And why was Fangru fired by the Su family? What's going on?" Wang already had a guess in her mind. Could it be that Su Wenyue was behind this? If that was the case, she would never forgive Su Wenyue.

Qian had said a lot of angry words before, which Wang Desheng's family had to endure, but it also allowed Wang Decai's family to vent a lot of their frustration. Now, when Wang asked about it, they told the whole story of how Wang Fangru was driven out by the Su family.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Saying that she was fired is still a nice way of saying it. In fact, Fangru was driven out by the Su family. We tried to hide it, but people have mouths. Who knows what will happen?"
