"Stop hitting him, please let my son go."
"Gentlemen, please stop hitting him! If you keep hitting him, my son will die!"
"Stop hitting them, here's your money!"
She yelled at everyone, and they all stopped.
The big man looked at the old woman, a smile spreading across his face.
"It would have been so much better if we had done this earlier. We were forced to take action."
"Give me the money."
Fang Eryou also looked at the old woman.
How come he didn't know they had so much money?
Or is it that his mother secretly hid the money from him?
However, the next moment the old woman said, "I don't have any now, but I have an older son. He built a new house and rented more than 100 acres of land in the village. You can ask him for money."

"Where would I get so much money?"
"Nonsense, how could you not have it? You have to produce it today, Da Niu, I'm begging you."
What do you need so much money for?
"It's Eryou. Xiaodie's brothers are at our house. They tied Eryou up and they're going to break his arm if we don't pay them ten taels of silver."
"How dare they? Eryou is a scholar."
“People like them don’t care about any of this. They just want money. Da Niu, please save your brother. Only you can save him now. He’s your only brother. You can’t just let him die.”
