Chapter 510: Working Like a Horse
Li Cuicui cried out, "Oh my God, aren't you going to kill us? If my sons lose their legs, their lives will be over."
"You are a liar. Not only did you steal our money, but you also tried to rob my grandson and hurt my son. I'm going to find Ji Lizheng and ask him to make the decision for me."
Song Xiangqian had a bad feeling in his heart.
Kirimasa was fair and impartial, and hated them so much that he wouldn't side with them.
Gao Siyue was already scared silly, but when she heard Ji Lizheng, she seemed to see hope again and turned around to go to his house.
But I didn’t expect that after just a few steps, I would meet Ji Lizheng and Ji Sheng.
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. Has Ji Jingnan been monitoring the movements in the village all the time?
You came just in time.
Ji Lizheng glanced at the arrested man, then at the people in the gambling house, and finally at the people from the Song family. He asked, "What's going on?"
Just as the Song family was about to speak, Qian Da spoke first, "Are you the head of this village? You're just in time. The thing is... we're only here to arrest people, as per the contract. They clearly agreed to it, even put their fingerprints on it, and now they want to go back on their word."
Ji Sheng immediately went over, took both contracts and showed them to his master, then returned them.
Song Hemao cried, "Ji Lizheng, we were just confused for a moment. We really didn't know that gambling houses are places that eat people without leaving any bones. We were also greedy for money, so we mortgaged our son."
"Please lend us twenty taels of silver. We will work hard and repay you in the future."
Song Hewei also said: "I beg you too."
Ji Lizheng didn't say anything, just looked at them with a cold face.
Seeing this, the two knelt down in front of him and said, "Please."
Gao Siyue and Huang Xiaoli also knelt down at the same time.
"Jilizheng, this is my only child. Please."
"Jilizheng, as long as you help us this time, I will work like a slave to repay you in the future."
Qian Da suddenly spoke up, "Twenty taels of silver? The contract clearly states that you have to pay it back that day. If you pay back twenty taels of silver, you'll be fine. But if you pay it back today, you'll need to pay back forty taels of silver. Do you have a bad memory?"
The onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment.
Forty taels of silver?
This gambling house is too shady.
I borrowed twenty taels, and it doubled today?
Song Chuman didn't find it strange. She had seen it once before when He Xiaoshuang's father was being chased for debt by a gambling house.
That time was even darker than this time.
Song Hemao's face turned pale and he looked at Ji Jingnan pleadingly.
Ji Jingnan said calmly, "You've already pressed your fingerprints and signed the contract. Now you should execute according to the contract. If you can't pay it back, why did you borrow it in the first place?"
Ji Sheng said speechlessly, "My master is rich, but I paid it back for you this time, and you never work. You will never be able to pay back such a large sum of money in your lifetime."
"Also, he helped you pay it back this time. If someone follows your example and gambles and mortgages their own child next time, will my master have to help again?"
"Gamblers don't deserve sympathy in this world."
Song Hemao felt like he had lost his parents and had lost all his energy and spirit.
Gao Siyue and Huang Xiaoli looked at their son and felt despair.
Li Cuicui looked at Song Xiangqian and said, "Go find Song Hexiu now and ask him for money. She is the eldest son and can't ignore his younger brother and nephew."
