The son had gone to gamble in a gambling house a few years earlier, and they had used their only remaining money to pay off some of his gambling debts.
I promised at that time that I would never gamble again.
Looking at his appearance now, how can I understand anything?
Seeing that he was trapped, Zhou Xiaoxiao knelt down towards Old Fang with a plop.
"Mom, those are gambling debts I owed in the past. I'm not telling you the truth. Every time you came, I didn't have the money to pay you back, and then you beat me up. I didn't dare to tell you, so I had to bear it deeply..."
The way he cried so hard was very pitiful.
What Zhou Xiaoxiao said was really false. He dared not talk about the gambling debt.
I had no choice but to carry it all by myself.
Of course, I am not that filial and I don't want my family to worry about me.
But 놆놛 knew that even if he told her, his family didn't have the money to help him pay it back.
But now it's the same again, and now my parents happen to have some extra money.
They haven't spent all their money yet, so now is just the right time to pay off their gambling debts.
Thinking of this, Zhou 께껚 slapped himself twice and said:
"Dad, Mom, I really know I was wrong. This time I swear I will never gamble again. If I gamble again, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
These two slaps were delivered with great force.
After two slaps, five fingerprints were clearly visible on his face.
Old Mrs. Fang was anxious, but this son loved her the most.
No matter how angry she was, she was unwilling to push her son into the fire pit.
Seeing him hurting himself like this, I felt painful immediately.
Think about it again, in the past Zhou Xiaoxiao would always disappear for a few seconds from time to time.
Now that I think about it, he must have been beaten and hid away secretly to recuperate.
I also don't know how I have survived all these years.
When she thought of this, Mrs. Fang's heart started to ache.
He asked painfully, "How much money do you owe this time?"
"Mom, there's not that much this time, only a little over five taels of silver..."
The further he spoke, the weaker Zhou Xiaoxiao became, and his voice became lower.
At the end, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"What? What did you say?" Chen Taohua asked in disbelief before Old Mrs. Fang could even open her mouth.
Zhou is the son of Lao Fang, and Lao Fang can tolerate it.
But Chen Taohua could not bear it any longer.
In order to pay off 놛's gambling debts a few years ago, all the remaining money in the family was emptied.
She had suggested paying off the gambling debts back then, but Old Fang and Old Zhou simply didn't listen to her.
There is no way. After all, I am just an outsider.
But there was another person around who had no opinion of his own at all.
Eventually, Old Fang and Old Zhou returned the money, and as an outsider, she couldn't say anything about them.
But now the situation is different. This money can be said to be the money she earned from selling her daughter.
Why should I give it to you to pay off my gambling debts?
Zhou Xiaoxiao also felt a little weak when he saw Chen Taohua like this.
Just thinking of her identity, she subconsciously straightened her waist and said:
"Sister-in-law, I asked my parents for the money, not you."
"Okay, Zhou Xiaoxiao, you are great. Now let me ask you, where does your parents get the money? If you want to buy my branches, can we give you the money to pay off your gambling debts?"
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Xiaoxiao's wife Jian Qiuyue agreed, and immediately said to Chen Taohua:
"Sister-in-law, you are right. Shuzhi is your daughter, but she is also the granddaughter of her parents. Our family has not even been established yet, so how can it be so open?"
"Besides, isn't the money we've spent on Zhou Shuzhi enough over the years? We in the third house have never complained about it."
"Who in the Zhou family knows that all the money in the family has been spent on her over the years. If I were as calculating as you are, would your family have been able to live so comfortably over the years?"
"If you really count it, you guys spent more money on your house."
Chen Taohua opened her mouth, wanting to say something back, but couldn't find the words to say.
Because she herself knew very well that the money she had spent on her daughter over the years was indeed wasted.
She simply couldn't find the words to reply.
When the wolf brothers came in, they saw such an arrogant and domineering atmosphere.
"Oh, the whole family is here. Well, then, when will you pay off this debt?"
While saying this, Brother Wolf had already staggered towards the main room.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't return the money, don't blame me for being too polite."
In fact, Brother Wolf had held out hope before, and thought that our Zhou family could afford to pay off the gambling debt.
Only now did I know who suddenly spread the news that the Zhou family had money.
놛 hasn't come to see Zhou 께껚 for a long time, and every time he comes to see 놛, he just beats 놛 up.
놛놆 really has no money, what else can I do besides fighting?
Hearing this today, I thought about giving it a try.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, I heard the voices of villagers talking.
Out of curiosity, Brother Wolf also came closer.
As a result, I found out that the Zhou family sold their granddaughter and said that they had more than ten taels of silver...
At this moment, he hurried over to Old Zhou's house.
I was afraid that the money would be spent by them later.
You know, the Zhou family is notoriously poor in Zhoujia Village.
Of course, it would take several years to collect these gambling debts.
놛 also thought about selling all of 놛's children, but 놆놛's two sons were lazy and gluttonous.
Sell everything.
Seeing Brother Wolf, Zhou 께껚 suddenly panicked.
He quickly pulled up his sleeves, placed them in front of Old Man Zhou and Old Fang, and said:
"Dad, Mom, look at how your son has been beaten over the years. I never said a word because I was afraid you would worry."
"My son really knows he was wrong. He will change his ways and work hard in the future. I swear, after I pay off my gambling debts this time, I will go to the county town to find a job, and I will definitely pay you back for all the gambling debts."
Zhou 께껚 spoke very beautifully, but Chen Taohua rolled her eyes when she heard it.
I couldn't help but retort, "You sounded nice. You said the same thing a few years ago, but I don't see you paying a penny."
"Sister-in-law, you are right. When you spent money on this branch, you said you would pay it back. I have never seen you pay it back."
Jian Qiuyue retorted again.
"Why didn't you pay it back? Now that my parents have more than ten taels of silver, how can we pay it back? Without her, where would the family get more than ten taels of silver?"
"Just a dozen taels, is that enough? Over the years, she has spent at least a few dozen taels from home. If you ask me, these dozen taels are just interest."
