"Let me go, I won't leave!" A woman's cry for help sounded not far away from the two of them. The two looked at each other and then walked towards the source of the sound to see who was calling for help.
The cry for help also attracted other passers-by. Some passers-by wanted to go over and have a look, but they were stopped by their fellow travelers. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to know something.
Yang Ming and Yang Zhen also saw it, but they would not stop. Firstly, they were strong, and secondly, they saw fear in the eyes of these people, which made them even more convinced that this cry for help was not an ordinary person asking for help.
.
Following the source of the sound, the two brothers came to a small house. Judging from the appearance and area, this family was just an ordinary family, nothing special. This is where the cry for help came from.
"I beg you, please be nice to me. Don't take me away. I still have to take care of my brother. Just go find the person who promised you..."
A female voice with a crying voice came from the house, and then the sound of "ping ping ping ping pong" was heard.
"Your father has already sold you to our Chu family. If you can't say it now, it's not up to you. Otherwise, if you ask your father to pay back the money you owe, I will let you go."
A man's voice sounded. According to the content of the man's words, Yang and Ming guessed that the family owed a debt to the Chu family and sold the woman to the Chu family to pay off the debt. In this case, Yang and Ming would not be able to interfere in other people's affairs.
Yes, it is natural to pay back debts. If you have no money to pay back, you will sell yourself to pay back. This is perfectly normal.
"How do I know where that person is now? I haven't seen him for many years. Otherwise, I will sell this house to pay back the money, as long as I don't take my brother and me away." The woman begged bitterly.
"You still think that the house can be sold for money. Let me tell you, your father has pledged the house to my Chu family a long time ago. Now you can only pay off the debt by going back with me." The man said loudly.
When the woman heard that the house she lived in had long been mortgaged to the Chu family, there was a bang in her mind, and she felt that the sky was getting dark. She wanted to commit suicide, but when she saw her brother in a wheelchair, she couldn't bear to leave him to fend for himself.
Mie, after thinking for a moment, slowly said: "Okay, I'll go with you, but I have a condition, that is, after I settle my brother, I will go to the Chu family myself."
"I don't dare to run away even if I don't care. I'm telling you, don't make any mistakes. The entire Chu City is the territory of my Chu family. I will know every move you make. Let's go!"
The man left the harsh words, opened the door and walked out. Only then did Yang Ming see the man's appearance. Although he was not handsome, he had good features. He left with all the servants without noticing at all.
The two people watching him on the roadside.
"Woooooooo..."
There were bursts of crying inside the house, and passers-by around him were all sighing. Yang Ming grabbed an old man who was about to leave because this old man sighed the most.
"Young man, why are you holding me back?" The old man looked at Yang Ming puzzled.
"Old man, I would like to ask you, what is the relationship between this family and the group that just left?" Yang Ming asked softly.
"Ah, please don't hurt me!"
The old man shook his head quickly and said that he had nothing to do with the family. However, seeing that Yang Ming and the two were very acquainted, he immediately pulled them into the house where he lived, which happened to be next door to the woman.
The old man looked around and saw that no one was outside the door. He immediately closed the door and asked Yang Ming and Yang Ming to sit down.
"Old man, you can speak now."
The old man looked at the two of them, sighed heavily, and then said slowly: "I saw that you are not locals, so I told you. I don't want to be misunderstood that I have anything to do with them and come to collect debts."
Yang Ming and Yang Zhen looked at each other and understood that there must be something inside. Otherwise, this old man would not be so clear about the relationship, and they nodded immediately.
"You just came to Chu City, so it's normal that you don't know. The group just now was from the City Lord's Mansion. The leader was Chu Yang, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion. Even though he seemed to be forcing people, he was actually protecting the woman. His
The appearance is for others to see." Old Man Wang said.
"How do you say this?" Yang Zhen asked immediately.
"Everything starts with the woman's father. The woman's father's name is Long Gangwei. He has a pair of children. The daughter's name is Long Lilian, who is the woman. She also has a son named Long Jinfeng, that is,
The brother she was talking about."
"Originally, the family of three lived a good life. Not to mention wealthy, they had enough food and clothing. However, the good times did not last long. Long Gangwei contracted the gambling problem and often used the family's money to gamble, and the family began to decline.
Once, Long Gangwei's creditor came to collect debts, and his children found out that their father owed a large gambling debt, and Long Lilian had to sell everything in the house to repay the debt."
"In the days that followed, creditors came to collect debts every three days. Long Lilian was so angry that she kicked her father out of the house, and she never saw Long Gangwei back again."
Yang Ming and Yang Ming were also lamenting. Is there such a father? He spends all his family's money and still has his children repay his debts. If it were them, they would kick such a person out of the house.
"Then what does this have to do with the Chu family?" Yang Zhen asked.
"Of course it does matter, because Long Gangwei worked as a housekeeper in the city lord's mansion before. Before he disappeared, he asked the Chu family master, that is, the city lord Chu Tiankuo, to borrow a large sum of money, saying that he wanted to pay off foreign debts and then concentrate on service.
The Chu family, Mr. Chu, saw that Longgang Wei had served the Chu family for so many years, so he agreed to lend him money. Who knew that this man would disappear after receiving the money, leaving behind an IOU that said he could not repay the money?
The money will be repaid with the house and daughter."
"The old debts have not been paid off and new debts have been added. Long Lilian did not agree to marry into the Chu family, so she wanted to borrow money again, but her brother stopped her. In order to repay the debt, Long Jinfeng went out hunting with others.
Warcraft, but due to lack of strength, the backbone was injured by the Warcraft, and the lower body was paralyzed, which made the Long family worse. After Master Chu knew about it, he directly asked people to come to collect debts, which led to the scene just now. Master Chu Yang wanted to let other people
Everyone knows that Long Lilian is a member of our Chu family and no one can touch her."
Yang Ming and the two understood the cause and effect. Everything was caused by Long Gang Wei's gambling and huge foreign debts. As long as Long Lilian married into the Chu family, no one from outside would come to collect debts. But the problem was that Long Lilian
Does Lian want to marry into the Chu family? Obviously the answer is no, otherwise the scene just now would not have happened.
There was a "bang bang" knock on the door, which startled Old Man Wang. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Long Lilian pushing Long Jinfeng outside and knocking on the door.
"Uncle Wang, just be kind and take my brother in. After I get to the Chu family, I will give you some money as a reward on a regular basis." Long Lilian said to Old Man Wang with a tearful voice.
"Long girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but what if I help you and those creditors think that I have something to do with you and come after me? What should I do? I'm already old and I can't stand the trouble.
of."
Old Man Wang shied away from Long Lilian's request. This was human nature. Who would take on the responsibility for no reason? Not to mention the creditor, it was inappropriate for an old man to take care of a young man whose lower body was paralyzed.
Yang Ming and Yang Zhen came out. The latter saw Long Lilian's beautiful face and couldn't take his eyes away anymore. No wonder Long Gangwei used her daughter to pay off the debt. The light pink and white already highlighted her beautiful face.
Coupled with her graceful waist, if she is well dressed and well-dressed, she will be a gorgeous beauty. Yang Zhen fell in love with her at first sight.
"Second brother, second brother!" Yang Ming shouted at Yang Zhen several times before drawing his attention back. Looking at the latter's appearance, Yang Ming knew that his brother was tempted.
"Uncle Wang, who are these two?" Long Lilian asked.
Before Old Man Wang could speak, Yang Zhen answered first: "I am a businessman passing by. I just heard a noise at your house, so I came over to take a look and understand the situation with the old man. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Yang Zhen, and he is my brother Yang Ming."
Yang Ming was speechless for a while, and his brother looked impatient, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had fallen in love with Long Lilian.
"Hello, brother Yang Zhen, hello, brother Yang Ming." Long Lilian greeted politely, but it was just a greeting. Her focus now was to help her brother find someone who could take care of him.
"Long girl, please stop looking for me. You know my situation well. Not to mention whether I have a meal or not, how can I take care of your brother with my body?" Old man Wang saw Long Lilian's expression.
With hopeful eyes, he refused again on the spot.
"I'll come, I can take care of you."
Yang Ming covered his head. He didn't expect that his second brother would rush to agree to someone without considering the situation. They didn't even ask you. How can you be so embarrassed to agree to someone? This is not how you pick up girls!
Long Lilian looked at Yang Zhen warily. She was wary of this man who was so enthusiastic when they met for the first time, and said: "I thank Brother Yang Zhen for his kindness, but I don't dare to bother you, Brother Yang Zhen."
After saying that, he was about to leave. Yang Zhen suddenly became anxious and poked Yang Ming's arm with his elbow, asking him to think of a solution quickly.
"Second brother, you can't pick up girls like this. You're too impatient."
Yang Ming teased his second brother in a low voice, and then called out to Long Lilian: "Miss Long, please stay. We are not bad people. My brother is not in his right mind, so don't mind."
When Yang Zhen heard Yang Ming say this to him, he tried not to get angry and glared at the latter with a fierce look, as if to say: You are the one with the disease in your brain. If you can't keep her, you won't be as good-looking as you!
Yang Ming ignored Yang Zhen's threatening look and said to Long Lilian: "My brother means that there is a way to cure your brother's disease. It depends on whether you are willing to let us see it?"
When she heard that Yang Ming had a way to cure the disease, Long Lilian's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know whether what the other party said was true, she might as well give it a try. She searched all the doctors in Chu City and they all gave the same answer, that there was nothing they could do.
.She was skeptical about the man she met for the first time, but she was no longer allowed to think about it anymore.
"If Brother Yang Ming can cure my brother's disease, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse." Long Lilian first expressed her gratitude.
Yang Ming responded with a smile on the surface, but he was saying in his heart: I don't want you to be a bully or a horse, as long as you and your second brother Yang Zhen develop a good relationship.
