Jin Wansheng looked at the arrogant faces of these people, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and he stared at them with red eyes.
"Wansheng, why don't you explain it clearly to your parents? Why are you so stupid?" The woman sobbed and looked very sad.
"Jin Wansheng, don't look at me like that. Hurry and take out the deed to your shop as payment for the debt. Otherwise, when you die, I won't be able to get the money back, and our boss will blame us brothers. Don't force me to be ruthless." said Master Ma.
Qibao looked at the Jin family's shop. It was quite spacious, with two rooms upstairs and downstairs. However, the door front looked quite old, but the location was very good.
So he walked up to the two women and asked softly, "How much do you owe them?"
The mother and son looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old. They couldn't help but admire the girl's good looks. Her fair skin was as smooth as a baby's, her cheeks were delicate and smooth as if there were no pores, and she had a pair of big eyes full of spirit, which were clean and bright. She looked at them with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
After coming to his senses, he didn't want to say it, but looking at a pair of clear eyes, Jin Wansheng still said bitterly: "Little girl, I owe them 80,000 taels of silver."
"If I offer 80,000 taels to buy your shop, would you be willing to sell it to me?" Qibao asked.
"This..." Jin Wansheng was a little stunned for a moment. Although his shop had a good location, he still made a profit from the price of 80,000 taels. Was this girl helping him?
"Girl, are you telling the truth?" the woman asked quickly.
Qibao smiled faintly and said, "Not bad."
"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, it would be bad if something unexpected happened." Grandpa Ma squinted his eyes and looked at Qibao.
Seeing this, the other members of the Xu family came to Qibao.
Xu Wenwu calmly pulled Qibao behind him, with a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"You just want to get the money he owes you. As long as he can pay it back, you have no right to care where he got the money. Just return the IOU to him. Why are you threatening my sister?" Xu Wenwu said.
"Hmph, why does this young man have to get himself involved in such a small matter? I think you look unfamiliar. You don't look like you are from Tianyou City, do you?" Ma Ergou squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Wenwu, and asked tentatively.
He looked at the way Xu Wenwu and the others were dressed and they didn't look like ordinary people, especially their temperament which was not something that ordinary people could possess, so he planned to find out more.
"We are indeed not from Tianyou City. We are just passing by here." Xu Wenwu replied in a calm tone.
"Since you are not from Tianyou City, why bother to get involved in this mess? You are just passing by. I am afraid that buying this shop will not be of much use to you, right?" said Ma Ergou.
He didn't know whether the other party had a prominent background, so he couldn't offend him rashly. He had to carefully ask questions first.
"My sister said she wanted to buy it, so of course we need it. You want your account, and we buy our shop. It has nothing to do with each other." Xu Wenwu said.
"Sir, are you going to go against our Hongtai Casino?" Ma Ergou said.
"You are such a weird person. Why should we go against your gambling house just because we bought the shop? Wouldn't it be even if he took the money and returned it to you? It would also save you from coming to your door every day to collect the debt. Such a good thing, why do you think we have bad intentions? This is really outrageous." Xiao Wu said with his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction.
"Xiaowu, let your elder brother and Qibao handle it, and you should say less." Uncle Xu pulled Xiaowu's arm and whispered in his ear.
Uncle Xu was also afraid that Xiaowu's straightforward nature might anger the other party and cause him to do something bad.
"Kid, let me tell you the truth. Our gambling house has set its sights on this shop and asked the Jin family kid to use it to pay off a debt. As for money, our gambling house has plenty of time to earn it. I advise you to be sensible."
Ma Ergou is also a ruthless character, otherwise he would not have been able to become the boss of a gambling house. He still has some tricks. Hearing Xiaowu's tone of voice, he immediately spoke with his own momentum.
"Ma Ergou, I finally see clearly. This is all a trap set by you. Your goal is to take over my Jin family's shop. In that case, I won't give in to your wishes!"
After Jin Wansheng finished speaking to Ma Ergou, he turned to Xu Wenwu and said, "Master, my shop is no longer viable, but I don't want to let Ma Ergou get away with it. I'm willing to sell it to you. Master, you're willing to pay 80,000 taels, but I'm taking advantage of you."
"It's okay, we just take what we need." Xu Wenwu said.
Seeing this, the lady wiped her tears and said, "Sir, this shop is the cause of all this trouble. We can no longer afford it, so selling it to you would be a good option. If it's convenient, please come with us to get the deed."
Xu Wenwu and Qibao looked at each other and nodded.
Jin Wansheng helped his mother to stand steady. As the group was about to leave, Ma Ergou shouted, "Stop! Did I let you go?"
"Ma Ergou, what do you mean? What does it have to do with you if I sell my shop?" Jin Wansheng said angrily.
"If you want to leave, you can, but give me the silver now, otherwise don't even think about leaving my sight!" Ma Ergou said with a gloomy face.
He knew that if Jin Wansheng really sold the shop to someone else, he had no reason to stop him. He could only stop the people here first. He had just secretly instructed his men to inform his boss, the owner of Hongtai Casino.
"After I finish my transaction with this young man, I will return the money to you without a penny less. It's my own fault that it's in the hands of Hongtai Casino. I didn't know the person well enough. It's my bad luck." Jin Wansheng said bitterly.
"Hmph, I don't have time to wait for you to finish the transaction. Give it to me now." Ma Ergou sneered.
"You are going too far!" Jin Wansheng was extremely angry.
"Okay, give me Jin Wansheng's IOU, and you can take these 80,000 taels of silver." Qibao took out a stack of silver bills from the shoulder bag he was carrying, actually taking them out from the space.
"hiss!"
The onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they saw the thick stack of banknotes.
They had never seen so much silver at once, and they all widened their eyes and looked at Qibao with disbelief.
"Oh my god, whose little girl is this? She actually carries so many banknotes with her. Her master is really trusting of her."
"How much money does this family have? They just gave a kid 80,000 taels without blinking an eye."
"Yeah, this is too arrogant! Although they look like rich people judging by their clothes, this is too rich!"
The people around looked at the banknotes in Qibao's hand. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were greedy.
