Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 265 Come to the door

"No, if this continues, if the silver was not taken by our son, the thief would have escaped long ago. I will report it to the police."

Wan Zhen's eyes were full of bloodshot.

She barely slept all night.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the silver that disappeared from the wooden box, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"What if it was really our son who took it? How are you going to explain it to the police?"

Bai Qianshan stopped her.

"How can I explain? I just said I found it. How else can I explain it? If I don't report it to the police, the thief will run away. This is eighty taels of silver, the money we got from selling the shop. If we can't find it back, you and I will starve to death in the future."

Wanzhen was about to collapse.

She squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.

It’s not because of the eighty taels.

But when she was looking at the shop before, she accidentally ran into her elder sister shopping in a jewelry store. She was wearing gold and silver all over her body, and she took out hundreds of taels of gold with just a glance.

They are obviously sisters.

Now she has to worry about whether she can have enough to eat tomorrow.

This gap made Wanzhen feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Boom boom boom——"

Sudden.

A rapid knock on the door echoed in the yard, the sound was very loud, like a hammer hitting the door.

Wanzhen was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Bai Qianshan also felt inexplicably nervous.

The couple looked at each other.

"Who-"

Bai Qianshan took a few steps forward and asked loudly.

"Dad, yes, it's me. Open the door quickly." After waiting for a long time, someone outside answered.

When he heard it was his son, Bai Qianshan hurried over to open the door.

But the moment he picked up the bolt.

"boom--"

A foot stretched out from outside and kicked the door open. He was hit by the door and fell on his back due to inertia.

The back of his head hit the bluestone bricks and he almost fainted from the pain.

I just couldn't get up.

"You must be Bai Jizu's parents. He owes us six hundred taels of silver. You should hurry up and get the money."

Five burly men dragged Bai Qianshan and Bai Jizu into the yard and closed the door.

Surround the family of three.

The three of them sat on the ground, raised their heads and looked at them.

It was as if I was being pressed down by five huge mountains and couldn't breathe.

"What? Six, six hundred taels?" Wan Zhen was shocked.

"Well, six hundred taels. If you can't pay it back today, I'll chop off your son's hands and feet. Of course, you have to pay back the money even if they're chopped off."

The person who spoke seemed to be the boss.

He curled the corners of his mouth and took out a dagger.

An oil lamp was lit on the table.

The candlelight was dim, but it reflected the sharp dagger.

Wan Zhen's whole body was shaking, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Son, is what he said true? Six hundred taels? Do you really owe him six hundred taels?" She said as she grabbed Bai Jizu's collar and shook him.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please help your son this time. I was deceived. I didn't want to go to the gambling house. I don't know what happened. As soon as I entered, my brain was not in control. I won fifty taels at the beginning, but then I kept losing. After I lost all my money, the gambling house owner said he could lend me some.

I didn't want to borrow it, but I couldn't help it. I just wanted to earn back the money I brought with me, but I lost it all, two hundred taels. I borrowed it twice more, and now I owe six hundred taels. Mother, please help me pay it back. I don't want to die. If I don't pay back the money, they will definitely kill me."

Bai Jizu had a brother who owed this gambling house two hundred taels of silver and had his hands chopped off.

It’s only been four or five years.

He had long forgotten the word fear.

After being beaten for a full half hour, he began to regret it.

At this time, Bai Jizu no longer looked like a human. His eyes were black, his nose was swollen, his mouth had several cuts, and it seemed as if two egg-sized objects were stuffed in his cheeks.

Special drums.

And this is just the face.

There is not a single piece of good flesh on his body.

There were whip wounds all over his back.

His limbs were also beaten black and blue.

"That's six hundred taels! Where can I get it for you, Ji Zu? Tell me honestly, did you steal the eighty taels? Otherwise, where did you get the money to go to the gambling house? Tell me, did you steal it? If you don't tell the truth, from now on, I will treat you as if I don't have a son--"

No matter how stupid Wan Zhen is, he should have reacted by now.

She collapsed and grabbed Bai Jizu, screaming loudly.

But he was slapped by the gambling thug standing nearby.

"Shut up and keep your voice down. If the neighbors hear you and report you to the police, your whole family will be dead."

After all, beatings in gambling houses cannot be exposed.

Although the real owner of the gambling house has secret dealings with the county magistrate, if the matter gets out of hand, the county magistrate will not protect their gambling house, and in the end the only ones who will suffer will be these insignificant thugs.

He didn't want to be dragged out to take the blame. He hadn't even married yet, and he had no offspring. He couldn't just die like this.

"Yes, I'm sorry, mother. I took it. I happened to see you putting the money down that day. I didn't mean to steal it. I wanted to win a few hundred taels from the gambling house and buy you a big shop. I did it all for you, mother. Please save me, please."

Of course Bai Jizu would not admit that he went to the brothel first.

He pretended to be pitiful.

While apologizing, he made excuses for himself.

"Oh, you are not honest. You only brought 20 taels this afternoon, and you smell like powder. I'm afraid you spent the 60 taels on women."

Bai Jizu never expected this.

He was undone by the gambling house's thugs.

Wan Zhen felt better when she heard that her son went to the gambling house in order to buy a shop for the family.

I was immediately dumbfounded.

"Do you have a mistress outside?" Wan Zhen asked.

"No, how could I have a mistress? I already have Qiao'er and Wangye. I can't think of having a mistress. It's not like I don't have a son."

Bai Jizu quickly denied it.

Qian Qiaoer, who was hiding in the corner, relaxed her tense expression instantly before she could even breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Jizu continued.

"I just stayed in Mengyue Tower for two days. Mother, don't worry, I was just having fun. I definitely won't keep a mistress. That prostitute forced me to drink and took advantage of my drunkenness to coax me into spending sixty taels. I didn't want to go. Mother, please take the money and return it to her. Save me."

"Bang——" Suddenly there was a sound of something heavy falling in the corner.

"Who, come out--" the gambling thug immediately shouted loudly.

"My husband, you actually went to Mengyue Tower? Did you know that it was a brothel? What did you promise me before? You said you would never set foot in such a place again. It turns out you lied to me. I want to divorce you. I will never believe you again. What did you tell me when you wanted to marry me? Have you forgotten everything?"

Qian Qiaoer came over from the corner with red eyes.

She questioned Bai Jizu.

No matter how fierce the thugs are.

She just wanted to divorce Bai Jizu.
