Chapter 86 Isn't this asking him to die?

At night, Xingxing was sleeping on the kang in a daze. Mrs. Wei was fanning her and talking to Old Man Yu in a low voice about the two matters.

The first one was that Wei Feng worked as a thug in a casino.

Old Man Yu also frowned when he heard this.

These honest farmers have always regarded casinos as a scourge. Although Wei Feng did not go to gamble, he worked in the casino all day and was influenced by it, so it was inevitable that he would pick up some bad habits.

"...Why don't you go back to your parents' home in a couple of days?" Old Man Yu said, "You haven't been back to your parents' home for quite some time. It's a good opportunity to ask what's going on."

Mrs. Wei was somewhat tempted, but also a little hesitant.

She really can't let go of all the family affairs at home.

Old Man Yu advised her: "You can take Xingxing with you when the time comes, so she can get to know the family... As for the family, you don't have to worry too much. I see that the third daughter-in-law is not the same as before. With the eldest and second sons' families, there won't be chaos at home."

Speaking of the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sigh again, and told Old Man Yu about the second thing she wanted to talk about tonight.

The second matter was that Su Rouer's brother from her mother's family, Su Chengzong, owed the casino one hundred taels of silver.

Old Man Yu was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he murmured: "No wonder I felt that the atmosphere tonight was not right... One hundred taels. How dare that kid from the Su family..."

One hundred taels is enough to destroy a family!

Mrs. Wei sighed, "That's right. It just so happened that it was Afeng who asked Su Chengzong for the debt. Although there is this relationship, it is not possible to refuse the 100 taels of silver... What do you think we should do? I think the third daughter-in-law is completely confused."

Old Man Yu walked around the house for a few times and made a decision: "I will not go to work for the next two days. I will stay at home for the first two days."

Although the old couple did not point it out, they knew in their hearts that the Su family would most likely take advantage of Su Rouer's marriage relationship to come and ask for money.

This concerns Su Chengzong's life. When the time comes, Su's father and mother will come and cry. As a daughter, will Su Rouer really not care about it?

Mrs. Wei has always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Old Man Yu stayed because he was afraid that Mrs. Wei would have a hard time.

Mrs. Wei was very upset: "You said that if it's something else, as in-laws, it doesn't matter if we help out... But Su Chengzong lost all his money in gambling! Besides, the first few days of our family are getting better because of Xingxing. The next few brothers need to study, and the third brother needs capital to do business. Where can we throw money into the bottomless pit of dog gambling?"

Old Man Yu naturally understood this. He sighed, "Old lady, don't worry. Whoever gets involved in this matter will be in big trouble and will run away. Let's take five taels of silver tomorrow to show that we have done our best and that's it."

"That's all we can do."

After discussing this for a while, the old couple both sighed and went to sleep.

The next day, just as Old Man Yu had expected, Mr. and Mrs. Su showed up.

This time, Su's father and mother did not come empty-handed, but brought a bag of snacks and some cloth.

Bai Xiaofeng sighed and whispered to Li Chunhua in the room: "After all these years, this is the first time I've seen people from the county come to our small village and bring gifts."

Li Chunhua's eyesight was better. She stared at the piece of cloth in Su's mother's hand and murmured, "Why do I feel that the cloth looks familiar..."

Bai Xiaofeng hurriedly took a closer look. Oh my goodness! She almost sneered out loud: "Sister-in-law, it's no wonder you look familiar. I remember the pattern of the cloth - it was a festival gift that our mother prepared for the third son's wife to take back to her parents' home. Oh my goodness! The wool comes from the sheep, and giving a gift to the sheep brings the wool back."

Li Chunhua smacked her lips.

The two sisters-in-law were whispering through the window in the second house, and then they saw Wei Pozi and Su Rouer bringing Su's father and mother through the yard and into the main house.

Once the curtain of the main room is drawn, you can no longer see what’s going on inside.

Bai Xiaofeng was very worried. She discussed with Li Chunhua: "Sister-in-law, you said there are guests at home. Should we also show up?"

Li Chunhua was hesitant: "What if there is a conflict? You are still alive. What if you get hurt?"

That's true. For the sake of the baby in her belly, Bai Xiaofeng had no choice but to give up even though she felt regretful.

At this time in the main house, Su Rouer poured water for Su's father and mother, Mrs. Wei, and Old Man Yu, and sat aside with red eyes and did not say a word.

Mother Su didn't know how to start this conversation. She looked around and said, "...Where is Ju Ge'er? Why can't I see Ju Ge'er?"

Su Rouer reluctantly said, "He went out to play with Xingxing."

Su's mother was speechless again.

But Father Su, after a few long sighs, said to Old Man Yu: "My dear, I really don't have the face to speak to you... But, my family has really reached the end of its rope..."

Old Man Yu comforted him, "Don't the scholars always say that there is always a way out when you reach the mountain? Don't be too depressed."

Father Su was secretly anxious when he saw that Old Man Yu did not follow his words. He could not help but say, "... In-laws, we have been in-laws for so many years, I will be frank with you... Back then, we married our daughter to your family because we saw your good character."

Mrs. Wei sneered in her heart.

Do you think their family members are good?

The bride price is not less than a penny!

The Yu family put all their efforts into the betrothal gift, and they were even short of tearing down the wall to sell the stones!

"...You all probably know what happened to my family's Cheng Zong. In-laws, what do you think we should do?"

Father Su became more and more excited as he spoke, "We can't let Chengzong die!"

Su Rouer's eyes became redder and redder.

She knew it was not a good look for her father to do this, but if there was a way, who would want to do this?

Father Su looked at Old Man Yu expectantly: "My dear, I heard that the man in the casino last time was your mother's nephew. Can you ask your mother to talk to him and ask for some leniency? ... We really can't afford one hundred taels of silver."

Mrs. Wei sighed, "This is the first time I know that our Afeng works as a thug in a casino. But father-in-law, think about it, the casino is not opened by my nephew from my mother's side, and he is just an employee. How can he take care of the debt of 100 taels of silver owed by the casino manager?"

In fact, Su's father and mother knew this in their hearts, but they couldn't help feeling disappointed when they heard Wei Po say this.

Su's mother even covered her face and cried: "What should we do? ... Yesterday your nephew beat my Chengzong so badly that he can't even get out of bed today, let alone go out to raise money! Isn't this asking him to die?"

There was already a hint of complaint in the words.
