Chapter 564: Exiled from Gong's House

The Gong Mansion was in chaos!

No one knew how the Gong family discussed it, but in the end Gong Laoer and the debt collector went to the Zhenxi General's Mansion and politely asked about Gong Qingniang's whereabouts. However, an enthusiastic passerby told them that Gong Qingniang had passed away yesterday.

Gong Laoer didn't believe it, and asked the people in the Zhenxi General's Mansion. The people in the Zhenxi General's Mansion looked at Gong Laoer with disdain, "You Gong family members have forced Miss Gong to the point where she can't even stay in our house. Don't you have any sense in your heart? And you still have the nerve to ask!"

What a ridicule.

Gong Laoer was so ashamed that he had to leave with the supplier.

When they returned to the Gong residence, in front of a group of suppliers and the bank manager, Gong Lao Er, who often refused to pay, simply said with a shameless look: "You also heard that Gong Qingniang might have run away with the money! There is nothing we can do about it!"

The supplier sneered: "Isn't Gong's shop your family's business? Let's look at the accounts. Every year, 90% of the income from Gong's shop flows into the Gong family to provide for their daily expenses! Moreover, when the second and third masters Gong were out and about, they said that Gong's shop was the business of your Gong family. Gong Qingniang was just the shopkeeper who worked for your Gong's shop! She is just a woman. Can this shop be owned by someone else?" Her business?!...Since it is your Gong family's business, Gong Qingniang ran away, and you are the ones who should pay off the debt, what's wrong with that? Old Madam Gong, Second Master Gong, even if we go to the government office to complain, we are not afraid! Please settle the debt quickly, otherwise, once we go to the government office to complain, the house you live in and the jewelry you wear will be confiscated by the government office and used to pay us back!"

These words made the Gong family break out in cold sweats.

Madam Gong racked her brains and suddenly had an idea. She shouted, "No, Gong Qingniang's name is written on the title deed of the Gong Family Shop! This Gong Family Shop belongs to Gong Qingniang. Go settle the payment with her! Don't come to our house and make trouble!"

Several major suppliers don't believe it.

The suppliers and the silver shop owner surrounded Madam Gong and said, "Gong Qingniang is a member of your Gong family. Now that she has run away, it is only natural for her to ask your Gong family to pay her back!"

"Yes, pay me back!"

"Yes, pay me back! If you don't, I'll destroy your house!"

Looking at the aggressive and ferocious creditor, Mrs. Gong rolled her eyes and was about to faint again.

To make matters worse, the people from the casino came again to ask for money, and said that if he didn't get the money today, they would chop off Gong Laoer's two arms and feed them to the dogs.

Together with the suppliers and the banker, the three parties were forcing the Gong family to take the money.

The supplier said that since the casino had taken both of Gong Laoer’s arms, they would take one of his legs.

The silver shop owner said that he was not such a cruel person. Gong Laoer only had one leg left, so he didn't want anything more, just a foot.

Gong Laoer was so frightened that he turned pale. He knelt in front of Old Lady Gong and cried, asking her for money to save his life.

Old Mrs. Gong felt heartbroken.

The useless eldest Gong had been ill for so many years, so if he died, it was fine. Old Madam Gong didn't feel bad. But the second and third sons were her dearest. Now the third son's leg had been broken in prison. If something happened to the second son again, she wouldn't be able to bear it!

Old Mrs. Gong had no other choice but to take out an old-colored sachet from her bosom with trembling hands.

There was a piece of old, yellowed paper in the sachet. She spread it out carefully. On it was written in sloppy but recognizable words: Because the eldest son of the Gong family is seriously ill, he knows that he is a burden to the entire Gong family and his time is running out. Therefore, the eldest son of the family expelled himself from the Gong family and lived a separate life. He was responsible for all debts and this was written down.

Below is the signature, which is the name of the eldest son of the Gong family, and there is also a handprint. The time of signature is the day when the eldest son of the Gong family passed away.

When this document came out, not only the suppliers and bank managers who came to collect the debts, but even Gong Lao Er was stunned!

Old Madam Gong said in a heavy tone, "This was written by your eldest brother before he died. He said that paying for his medical treatment was a burden to our entire Gong family, and he was willing to leave the Gong Mansion with the debt. From now on, the descendants of his lineage will bear the debt, and it will have nothing to do with our Gong family. But at that time, I was kind-hearted, and seeing that Gong Qingniang was a half-grown girl who was alone, I took her in for a few more days... Now it's time for her to pay off her debt herself!"

Old Mrs. Gong said nice things, saying that she was kind enough to take in the girl for a few more days, but everyone in the Gong family knew that after the funeral of the eldest son of the Gong family, before Old Mrs. Gong had the chance to kick Gong Qingniang out, Gong Qingniang showed her extraordinary talent for business. She went out to tidy up the shop and made a lot of money on the first day, and more and more money every day afterwards. So Old Mrs. Gong was so vague as not to tell Gong Qingniang the truth and kept her in the Gong family to work like a slave.

If Gong Qingniang knew that her father had already expelled her family from the Gong Mansion, how could she stay in the Gong family and work like a slave?

Gong Lao Er came to his senses from his shock and excitedly slammed the table and shouted: "So, Gong Qingniang is no longer a member of our Gong family! There is no reason for our family to repay her debts!"

Old Mrs. Gong nodded with some pain.

She had originally planned to quickly marry Gong Qingniang to the widower whose wives had died several times, take over the Gong family shop under Gong Qingniang's name, and quickly pay off the debts to her second and third sons. But who would have thought that Gong Qingniang was so rebellious and would not listen to anything!

She refused to marry, nor to pay back her debts, and she even owed a lot of money to suppliers and banks!

In addition, a bunch of creditors filled the main hall at this moment, and Mrs. Gong was already at a loss. For a moment, the only way she could think of was to quickly kick Gong Qingniang out of the house.

Of course it hurts, but I can't care about anything else at the moment. Let's get rid of a few debt collectors first and talk about it later!

Old Madam Gong made up her mind that she might as well get out of this period first. Then she could use Gong Qingniang's father's dying will to ask Gong Qingniang to make money for them!

Mrs. Gong's idea was good, but the supplier disagreed: "Does this have any legal effect? ​​Unless you take this to the government for filing, we won't recognize it!"

Now that Old Lady Gong had revealed the matter, it was not very important whether to go to the government to file a case. She rolled her eyes and thought that while she was going to the government to file a case, she could go and see the third brother who was in jail.

Mrs. Gong then agreed immediately: "Let's go, let's go to the government office to file a case now!"

The group went to the government office in a mighty procession and filed a report with the government. Only then did the supplier and the bank manager admit their mistake and left grumblingly.

Now the only ones left to collect the debt were the casino thugs, and Mrs. Gong had no other choice but to tearfully take out her last 1,000 taels of private money to barely fill the hole.
