Chapter 135
Cui Hu doesn't care whether Cheng Yanping dies or lives, anyway, their purpose is to ask for debts.
"If you can't afford the money, we will take away this house and your property. If it is not enough, then we can only arrest people to pay off the debt."
These words scared the Cheng Lianxiang sisters and Li's faces changed.
Old Man Cheng was also so anxious that he was crazy. He never dreamed that Cheng Yanping owed so much gambling debts outside. During that time, he also found that Cheng Yanping was not at home. But at that time, he was only concerned about fighting with the Su family, and he didn't have time to pay attention to what Cheng Yanping did. However, he didn't expect that he had caused such a big disaster outside.
Three hundred taels of silver.
Even if everyone in the Cheng family is tied up and sold, it is not worth the price.
Cui Hu met many people who wanted to pay for debts when collecting debts. He didn't talk nonsense to Old Man Cheng, and asked the thugs to go into the house to smash and search.
Old Man Cheng wanted to stop him, but a thug was pushed aside. Several women didn't even dare to move.
However, some people in the Cheng family were unable to see it and went forward to persuade him. Cui Hu glanced at the other party with a cold face, and the people who wanted to plead were immediately timid.
The look was so terrible, and they were also afraid of causing trouble.
The thugs turned the Cheng family upside down and finally found the money hidden by Mr. Cheng and the real estate deeds of the Cheng family from Mr. Cheng's house.
When Old Man Cheng saw that his family was being held by the other party, he rushed forward and snatched it without thinking.
Cui Hu's thugs were not vegetarians. They came forward to pick up Old Man Cheng and just made a few old punches, which made him unable to even scream the pain.
Several women from the Cheng family were so scared that they cried.
Cui Hu snorted coldly, holding the silver box office deed and said very dissatisfiedly: "These things are only worth 150 taels. The remaining half of the principal and the interest for these ten days are still 180 taels. What do you plan to do with these silver?"
After glanced around the women, Cui Hu said, "Although he was not as good as a normal person, he could still get a ten-two silver when sold in the building. Take it away first."
Several women were so scared that they screamed desperately. Cheng Xiyu shouted: "Let me go, I am the third son of the Qin family. I am pregnant with his child in my belly. If you hurt me, the Qin family will not let you go!"
This said had some effect and looked at Cheng Xiyu's belly. But after being pregnant for more than two months, I really couldn't tell anything.
Cheng Xiyu was so scared that she kept trembling: "I have blood in my stomach. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Qin family to inquire!"
Li has always been a smart man. Seeing Cui Hu hesitating, he quickly said, "Don't do anything randomly. My girl is the third son of Qin. She is pregnant with the descendants of the Qin family. If there is really a collision, can you bear the responsibility?"
The Qin family still has some foundation in Qifu County, at least Cui Hu has to worry about it.
But if he asked him to stop in front of so many people, how would they do their future debt collection work? And it was spread. Isn’t that their boss afraid of the Qin family?
Fortunately, the patriarch and Li were coming in time at this time.
The head of the Cheng clan heard that Cheng Yanping owed such a large sum of money outside, and he was so angry. He had no favors to Old Man Cheng's family now, but no matter how he said, he could not write two words Cheng's words, so he could not really let these people get the Cheng family's women away.
When the time comes, others will not say that the men of the Cheng family are not fed, and the whole clan is shameless. Not to mention being looked down upon by outsiders, even a few other surnames in Xiaohe Village can step on their Cheng clan under their feet.
So Clan Chief Cheng stepped forward to negotiate with Cui Hu.
Cui Hu now had some concerns about Cheng Xiyu's identity, but he refused to give in his momentum. "It is natural to pay back the debt. This IOU is clearly written in black and white. Even if we rely on the yamen, we will make sense."
In fact, Clan Chief Cheng didn't dare to bluff with these debt collectors. How could these people who run gambling shops take him, a small patriarch, seriously?
But with so many people in the village, Clan Cheng could not show a humble look, so he tried to reason with them, "After that being said, you have to give them some time to raise money. If you come up, you have to let them hand over so much money. Who can take it out?"
Cui Hu sneered, "It is because he knows that they can't take it out that he arrested people to pay off the debt. Otherwise, you think we are a good family? Don't talk so much nonsense. Anyway, if we can't collect the debt today, we will arrest people to pay off. Three women plus a child can sell for 40 taels. As for giving time? Haha, when we are all fools? When they turn around, their family will run away. Where can we ask for debts?"
When Old Man Cheng saw someone stand up for him, he suddenly remembered that the Zheng Baoshan incident was finally settled by the Zheng clan a few days ago. So he knelt down and crawled to the feet of the head of the clan Cheng, howled with tears in his nose, "Class leader, save us."
The head of the tribe Cheng really wanted to kick him away, but he was not young anymore, and Old Man Cheng held him so hard that he couldn't get away.
If you can't watch several women in the Cheng family be arrested to pay off their debts, you can only find a way to send these debt-seeking people away for them first.
But the leader Cheng never thought of using the money from the clan. Not to mention that he was reluctant to let go, even the other people in the leader would not agree.
Clan Chief Cheng said to the Cheng family: "Hurry up and take out all the money in your hands, and see how much you can get. If it is not enough, then think of a solution."
Li still had a few taels of silver in his hand. He knew that the gambling house would come to ask for the account. She took the silver outside and hid it two days ago. Even Cheng Yanping didn't know about the silver.
The Cheng family's houses and fields are now stolen by the people from the gambling house. In the future, she and her children's lives are still pointing to this point, so she bit herself to death and had no money.
Cheng Lianxiang had no money in her hands. A few days ago, Old Lady Cheng came back and made a fuss. Cheng Lianxiang had some feelings for her biological mother, so she gave the hundreds of dollars she saved to Old Lady Cheng.
As for Cheng Xiyu, because she was rushing back to watch the fun, she didn't bring any money, and all her property was in the Qin family.
Thinking of the Qin family, Cheng Xiyu had an idea and said in a trembling voice: "I have saved some scattered silver in the Qin family. You can let me go back to the Qin family to get it."
She didn't really want to go home to get the money, she just wanted to find an excuse to escape back to the Qin family.
Cui Hu actually did not intend to move Qin Xiyu. After all, she was a maid from the Qin family and was still pregnant with the seeds of Qin San. Although he couldn't figure out how a maid who was pregnant with the descendants of the Qin family would live in the countryside, he knew that he could not move this woman.
