Jiaojiao bent down and held Meow Meow's front paws, and asked in a low voice: "Miao Meow, are my father and uncle okay?"

"The people inside haven't taken any action. They are currently discussing it, but your father and others will definitely not agree, so those people will definitely come to make trouble." Bai Miaomiao replied.

Jiaojiao frowned slightly and was thinking about how to solve it when Erya came over and said, "Jiaojiao, why did this cat get here? Let's take it out to find our mother quickly."

As Erya said this, she was about to hug Meow Meow, who was lying on the ground. Bai Meow Meow dodged and slipped behind Jiaojiao. It was not used to being held by someone other than Jiaojiao.

"Hey, why are you running?" Erya chased after him again.

Zhi——

The door next to it opened, and the first person to walk out was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe.

The man is short in stature, well built, with a round head, small eyes, a mustache, and a shrewd look on his face.

He raised his hand and waved, and the guard guarding the door saluted respectfully and retreated to the back.

Mu Kuan and Wang Zhuangzhi walked out, their expressions somber and a little ugly.

When Butler Song saw them, he straightened his sleeves and said slowly: "I'll only give you two days, and we won't wait until the time comes."

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned and was about to speak. Mu Kuan crossed him and said to Butler Song opposite him: "Go slowly and don't see me off."

Butler Song's expression turned a little cold when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and snorted, "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine wine. If you don't leave on your own after two days, you're asking for trouble."

After that, he took the people and left.

"Is there any justice? How can they be so arrogant and domineering? How can there be no reason not to let people do business!" Wang Zhuangzhi said angrily.

Jiaojiao and Erya hurriedly ran to their father's side. People nearby who were watching the excitement also came over and said one after another:

"Man, you are new here. You don't know that the Song family has always been domineering. I don't know how many people here have been beaten by them. You can't lose your life even if you make money. You'd better find a way out quickly."

"Well, the Song family is not to be offended. I heard that the fifth lady of the Song family had tea with Prince Jing a few days ago. Seeing that she can marry into the royal family, the Song family is even more prestigious."

"That is, how can we ordinary people fight against these people..."

Everyone tried to persuade them, but without exception, the Song family was not to be offended.

Jiaojiao was held by her father. She could clearly see that her father looked a little disappointed, and the helplessness in her uncle's eyes made him look a little haggard.

Mu Kuan sighed and looked at the sky, his eyes burning.

The dock business took more than half a month, and I finally managed to make a name for myself these days, but I didn’t want to encounter this.

There are so many boatmen under his command. Giving up means that all the money invested before will not be returned. Moreover, he has signed documents with more than a dozen boatmen and has to pay monthly salary... The Song family is trying to kill him.

It’s hard on the road.

Liu Zhihua finally squeezed in with the crowd. Seeing that the head of the family and her brother-in-law looked tired and didn't speak, she took Jiaojiao and asked with a frown: "What's going on? Why did those people leave again?"

Mu Kuan clenched his fists and sighed, suddenly having no shame to tell his eldest sister. After all, he was the one who promised to make money in the first place. If this business really went away, he might not even be able to make up the two thousand taels his family paid.

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head, took his wife to the side and explained in a low voice:

"Brother-in-law said that business has been good these past two days, and customers from other families came over to cooperate. As a result, the Song family thought that we were trying to steal their customers, so they brought people to cause trouble and ordered them to evacuate the dock within two days."

When Liu Zhihua heard this, her cheeks were shaking with anger. She ignored everyone around her and cursed directly: "These people are simply ruffians! Why should we withdraw? If they dare to cause trouble again, we will report it to the official."

Mom's voice was too loud. Jiaojiao rubbed her ears, nodded and said softly: "Yes, we are not afraid of him."

At worst, she would take advantage of the night to deal with them and see if they still dare to cause trouble.

When Wang Zhuangzhi heard what his wife and children said, he shook his head helplessly. He often said that the people did not fight with the officials. Although they had money now, how could they fight against the officials?

I'm afraid my brother-in-law's business won't work.

He said: "Forget it, let's discuss it when we go home."

Mu Kuan was also a little at a loss. He took off his scarf and prepared to go home with his brother-in-law and the others. He had to give an explanation if something like this happened.

People in the warehouse who were carrying packages saw Mu Kuan preparing to leave, and one of them hurried over.

After hesitating for a moment, the dark-skinned man clenched his fists and opened his mouth several times before saying: "Brother Kuan, we all trusted you at the beginning and followed you wholeheartedly. Now, although we know that you are in trouble, we are all dragging you down."

As a dependent, you cannot cheat on the documents you signed with us."

Mu Kuan sighed after hearing this, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, no matter what happens to this warehouse, you will not be short of what is due."

The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally no longer had to worry. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Kuan. I'll go talk to the brothers."

Mu Kuan nodded, "Okay."

Afterwards, the group returned to the Mu family’s courtyard.

Liu Zhihua originally wanted to go to Ancheng to find Yingniang, but she never thought of this. Her brother-in-law was frowning, and her sister was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and she accompanied him.

"The Wang family now has the support of King Jing. King Jing is the prince and grandson of the royal family. If we insist on confronting him, he will make it impossible for Cheng'er to stay in the academy. I," After saying this, Mu Kuan clenched his fists and his eyes turned red.

If Cheng'er hadn't been there, he would have really wanted to fight them with his life.

Xiuhua saw that her husband was crying more and more. She wiped it with a handkerchief and said comfortingly: "There is no fairness in this world. We can't fight against the Tongtian family. At worst, we won't do this business. The debt we owe will always be

I can pay it off."

Liu Zhihua was afraid that they would be under too much pressure, so he agreed and said, "If you really can't do this business, we will also help pay off the debt, so you don't have to worry."

When Xiuhua heard this, she felt sorry for her sister, and her tears became even more intense.

"Sister, I haven't paid back the two thousand taels that I invited you to join. Once I settle the money from the boatman first, I will find a way to pay it back." Mu Kuan lowered his head and said, feeling guilty in his heart.

Wang Zhuangzhi on the side said: "Since we are joining a gang, how can we pay it back? If we make a profit, we will share the money, and if we lose, we will pay together. We share the blessings and share the hardships."

When Mu Kuan, an eight-foot tall man, heard this, his eyes immediately turned red and he choked and held his head.

He naturally knew what two thousand taels meant, but his brother-in-law didn't even say a word of blame, just wiped it out with just one sentence.

The more this happened, the more guilty he felt.

When Liu Zhihua heard what the head of the house said, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She hugged her sobbing sister and breathed a sigh of relief.

Two thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to be wealthy for a lifetime. She felt very happy that the head of the family could have such magnanimity.
