Meng Wenang rolled on the ground holding his head, screaming in pain. This time Meng Chongxi hit him several times and waited for Zhang and Xu Yunniang to pull him up so that he could get down the stairs.
After fighting for a while, he realized that no one at home came to rescue him.
Both Zhang and Xu Yunniang have a layer of gray on their faces.
Two hundred taels, how much embroidery work they have to do to get two hundred taels.
Meng Wenang lost so much money, which completely drove the family to a desperate situation. Didn't he deserve to be beaten?
They even knew in their hearts that their family members had to tell the truth this time. Even if Meng Wenang made such a big mistake, he was still the one who had the best life.
No one came to pull him, so Meng Chongxi could only stop by himself and sit on the stool with a frown on his face: "Why did you get this? Can this be stained?"
"Dad, my child is really wrong. From now on, my child will never play with those people again. He will study in school with peace of mind, strive to gain fame as soon as possible, and be filial to you."
Meng Wen'ang's words finally made Meng Chongxi happy, but when he thought of two hundred taels, his brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
He looked at Mrs. Zhang, Xu Yunniang, and Qian Yan, and said, "This matter still needs to be resolved. Let's collect the money first. We can't really watch Wen Ang have two of his fingers chopped off."
"I have given him all the money at home to study, two hundred taels, but I can't get it out even if it costs me my life." Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red and she was wiping tears. "Can you tell me where I can get so much money?"
"
Xu Yunniang bit her lip, her eyes were red. She could still collect twenty taels through gritted teeth, and there was still hope even if she did embroidery day and night.
Two hundred taels is really hard to come by.
"Then let's get it together first." Meng Chongxi also knew that it was not easy to get such a large sum of money together, "At least you have ten days."
The family had no appetite for the meal, which was not rich in the first place, except Qian Yan.
Time passed little by little, and Meng Wenang was very well-behaved these days.
I knew I was in trouble, so I didn't go anywhere. I was always kind to my family members, and I no longer had the superior feeling I had before.
Zhang and Xu Yunniang stepped up their embroidery work, but Zhang persuaded Xu Yunniang to stop. She was still pregnant, and doing too much would really be bad for her eyes. Xu Yunniang just wiped the corners of her eyes and shed tears, shaking her head. That's all.
It's time, can she stop?
"This family is sorry for you." Ms. Zhang hugged Xu Yunniang and cried.
Qian Yan hid in another place to do embroidery work, but she was actually practicing silently. In fact, she could do it without practicing. She had natural supernatural power, which was enough to beat these people. But just in case, to avoid the need to use the power of the soul,
She still chose to practice.
Pay back money to Meng Wenang?
That's impossible.
If you lose money and your fingers are going to be chopped off, then chop your fingers off. It is better than having a few women in the family blindly working and selling their sister.
Seeing that the deadline given by the boss of the gambling house was coming up, and there were only two days left, Meng Chongxi only managed to collect thirty taels of silver. In addition to the hard work of several women in the family, Meng Chongxi had the shamelessness to borrow these thirty taels.
.
The distance between two hundred taels was too far. Looking at Meng Wenang's miserable appearance, he was worried. If his only son had his fingers chopped off, he would no longer be able to take the merit examination.
Late at night, Meng Chongxi could not sleep and enjoyed the cool air outside.
Meng Wenang couldn't sleep either, so the father and son sat together.
"Dad, how much have you collected?"
Meng Chongxi sighed: "Thirty taels, that's a far cry. Why did you get involved in this? What should you do if you don't get enough money?"
