"Mu Xin!"
"What a nice name, Mu Erniu. I didn't expect that a rough guy like you could come up with such a nice name."
Loud laughter continued to be heard outside the dilapidated hut. The middle-aged man was not embarrassed and laughed along.
This shabby little house cannot stop the warmth of human kindness.
However, three people appeared at an inopportune time and walked straight towards Mu Erniu.
"Mu Erniu."
Hearing the shout, Mu Erniu immediately turned his head to look. When he saw the three people coming, his face suddenly changed and he hurriedly stepped forward and spoke in a flattering tone.
"Hello, Brother Liu."
The people who originally came to congratulate him dispersed after seeing that it was Liu Pei. They didn't dare to stay any longer, as if Liu Pei was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye.
Liu Pei gave him a cold look and said, "Stop being so frivolous. Where's my spirit stone? When are you going to give it back to me?"
Mu Erniu's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled again:
"Brother Liu, can you give me two days? I used all the spirit stones I had before to buy things for my children, and I really can't afford much now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Pei kicked him directly with a grim expression.
"It's fine if you act like a good father in front of others, but why do you act like that in front of me? You even bought things for the child. How could you possibly have such thoughts? Don't think I don't know. You gambled away those 5,000 spirit stones."
"The midwife who delivered the child was borrowed by my wife's brother, otherwise the child wouldn't have been able to be born today, right?"
Mu Erniu's name sounds like a very honest and simple person, but Liu Pei knows very well that he is an unforgivable gambler.
Many years ago, Mu Erniu was fine and was indeed an honest and decent person. But after he got addicted to gambling, he got deeper and deeper into it. The place where he originally lived was not so bad, but because he had been squandering money over the years, now he only has such a dilapidated house to live in.
Otherwise, their lives would not have been so bad.
At least there is no problem with simple happiness and well-being.
Liu Pei's words were filled with disdain. He spoke again with a murderous intent: "Mu Erniu, let me make it clear to you, if you can't return all the spirit stones to me today, I will kill you."
"Including the 5,000 spirit stones you borrowed this time, you have borrowed a total of 300,000 from me. You must pay me back one million including principal and interest."
When Mu Erniu heard the number one million, he felt like the sky was falling.
He only has ten spirit stones on him now, and he has lost all the five thousand spirit stones he borrowed before. Where can he find one hundred thousand spirit stones?
Seeing that he looked ugly, Liu Pei kicked him in the stomach again. Although Liu Pei's realm was not strong, he was still a Jindan cultivator, while Mu Erniu was only in the Qi Condensation stage. The gap in strength between the two was huge.
After this kick, Mu Erniu immediately wailed in pain.
The surrounding neighbors came out one after another, but after seeing what happened, they were all shocked.
"What's going on? I remember Liu Pei was from Jucailou, right? Jucailou is a casino. How could someone as honest as Mu Erniu get involved with Liu Pei?"
"Haven't you heard? This time, Mu Erniu went to borrow spirit stones from Liu Pei to help his wife have a smooth delivery. I think he borrowed three to five thousand."
"This Liu Pei is truly despicable. I heard that if you borrow money from him, you'll basically get double the money you put in."
Many people looked at Liu Pei with anger, as if Liu Pei was the unforgivable villain.
This is all because Mu Erniu usually establishes a good personality in front of outsiders. Anyone who has come into contact with him will think that Mu Erniu is a good person and honest.
"Wait a moment."
Someone suddenly spoke up, brow furrowed, "Finding a midwife costs three to five thousand spirit stones? I remember that could be settled with common currency, right? When my second mother gave birth, it was settled with fifty coins."
One hundred common currencies are equivalent to one spirit stone, and these fifty are equivalent to half a spirit stone.
Only then did everyone react.
yes.
Why would it cost three to five thousand spirit stones to give birth to a child?
"Could it be that Mu Erniu wants his child to have better spiritual roots so that he can go further in the future, so he bought a lot of natural treasures to nourish the fetus in his belly?"
Everyone understood again, and this was reasonable.
After all, Mu Erniu is a good man who loves his family very much. He wants to fight for a better future for his children, which is what a good father would do.
Many people immediately showed expressions of regret and sighing.
He is worthy of being Mu Erniu, a good father!
"What?"
Suddenly, a voice full of sarcasm rang out: "What are you thinking? What do you mean by making the child's spiritual roots stronger? This Mu Erniu may look honest, but secretly he is a regular gambler at Jucailou."
"Besides, this isn't the first time Mu Erniu has asked Liu Pei to borrow spirit stones. I often go to the Jucai Building and have run into Mu Erniu many times. He almost had his leg broken once, but he told you it was a fall."
"Mu Erniu owes Jucailou more than just three or five thousand. I heard from a friend before that it's at least two or three hundred thousand spirit stones. Given Jucailou's style, it's impossible for them not to ask him for one or two million spirit stones."
After hearing these words, everyone was stunned.
"Zhang Yu, is this true?"
Zhang Yu sneered: "No, do you even need to ask? When have I ever told a lie? You will be fooled by him. This guy has a dark heart."
Everyone stood there in a daze, speechless.
They really didn't expect that Mu Erniu was such a person.
