The name of the daughter of the Luo family is very useful. After the thugs heard this, they immediately suppressed the anger on their faces and said, "Then our brothers are waiting here. You go and come back quickly!"
I didn't say I would come back tomorrow, but I would have to wait here.
If the two brothers leave together, only the women and children will be left in the family. How can we rest assured?
The two brothers discussed it for a while and finally decided that Gao Mingyu would go to the inner city and Gao Mingfang would stay.
First, let the thugs watch to show that he didn't run away. Secondly, Gao Mingfang owed so much debt, and if his parents knew about it, he wouldn't know how to get angry. When angry, when he sees his useless son, he will inevitably get angry and beat him.
people.
The most important thing to do now is to find a way to repay the debt, rather than beating people up.
Therefore, Gao Mingyu left. Before leaving, he said, "Second brother, I will leave my wife and children to you!"
Gao Mingyu found a carriage and went straight to the inner city. When he arrived, his family happened to be having lunch. In order to show that he was serious, Gao Mingzhe looked haggard, his eyes were black, and he didn't sleep well at first glance. Luo Qiaoqiao was beside him.
I felt very distressed and was helping to serve the soup.
Gao Mu was quite surprised, "Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?" After saying that, she asked the waiter beside her to set the dishes.
Luo Qiaoqiao didn't move. Seeing the panic and anxiety on Gao Mingyu's face, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "What happened?"
Gao Mingyu hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, no matter what, you have to save my second brother this time."
Father Gao scolded: "Speak clearly."
The matter was very simple, Gao Mingyu explained it clearly in two sentences, and finally said, "Those people are still guarding our yard now, threatening to chop off my second brother's hand if he doesn't pay back the debt..."
Gao Mu fell straight down.
The room was full of hustle and bustle, Gao Mu had finally been settled, and while waiting for the doctor's break, Gao Mingyu urged again, "Brother, there are two hundred taels, please think of a way quickly."
"No way!" It was Luo Qiaoqiao who spoke out.
She had a cold look on her face, "If Mingzhe owed this debt today, I would definitely pay it back to him even if I sold my business. But this is owed by Gao Mingfang. It's fine if I can pay it, but I really can't.
You’d better figure it out on your own.”
Gao Mujue finally woke up. When she heard this, she immediately patted the quilt and cried, "Mingzhe, you can't ignore your brother! If you don't, I won't be alive..."
Gao Mingzhe: "..."
He sighed, "Mom, you are making things difficult for me. What do I care about? I gave them two shops in the house, and they live in the house. I didn't occupy anything. Now you are in debt and come to me. You guys
She lives with me in a nice house, how can I have the nerve to ask her to help pay off my gambling debt?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qiaoqiao was quite moved.
Of course, Gao Mingzhe said this because he knew how much money Luo Qiaoqiao had on hand and knew that she could not afford to pay it back.
Father Gao frowned, "Then it would be good for you to help me pay some back."
"No!" Luo Qiaoqiao said with a cold face, "Dad, I'm not afraid to tell you that my only shop is going to close down. Now I only have ten taels of money left, so I have to save it for next month."
No matter what the Gao family says, Luo Qiaoqiao can only say two words: No!
Gao Mu was annoyed, "If Zhi Niang were here, she would never be as heartless as you!"
Luo Qiaoqiao's face became even colder with anger, "Then you go find her!"
Gao Mu: "..."
If Luo Zhiniang was willing to give, they would have gone long ago.
When the woman saw Gao Mingzhe, she beat her to death and wanted her to help the Gao family pay off their debts. She never dared to think so.
Of course, Luo Qiaoqiao in front of her also made it clear that she would not help pay off the debt.
Father Gao was helpless and gritted his teeth and said: "Give them the house in the outer city and you can move in!"
Luo Qiaoqiao immediately said: "It's okay to give it to the house. After all, it's your family's old house. Although the eldest son should get it, it's still in your hands. You can do whatever you want. But the two brothers can't even think of moving in!"
Seeing that her father Gao was about to get angry, she looked serious, "The Luo family has a family rule. If any descendant of the family enters a gambling house, they will be kicked out of the house! The husband of a daughter of the Luo family cannot have a gambling man. If he wants to move,
Come in, I can only ask you to move out too!"
Seeing her indifference, she neither gave her money nor could help. The Gao family discussed it among themselves. Finally, they made a plan and used the house and two shops together with the goods inside. If it was not enough, they would give it to their sister-in-law.
The two of them went back to their parents' home to borrow it. Gao's mother also gave all her possessions to her younger son to take away.
As soon as Gao Mingyu left, Gao's father and mother were all paralyzed and had no strength at all.
Gao Mingzhe looked cautious, "If you had followed me back to my old house that day, what happened today wouldn't have happened."
It's true to say that this was the first time for the two brothers to leave their parents. They didn't expect to be so courageous. In less than two months, they lost all the family's ancestral property.
Gao Mingyu returned to the outer city with ten taels of silver. Everyone thought he had returned with banknotes. Unexpectedly, Kuan Kuan Sosou took out a handful of broken silver from his sleeve. The total amount was only ten taels. Everyone was immediately disappointed.
, "Is this the money given by the Luo family's daughter?"
Gao Mingyu looked embarrassed, "The Luo family has family rules and cannot help pay off gambling debts. This is my mother's private house."
The leading man said coldly: "Our brothers must see the money today! Otherwise, please let us take one of his hands, and we will leave well and come back tomorrow."
"No!" Gao Mingfang put his hands behind his back and looked at Gao Mingyu, "Third brother, what did your parents and eldest brother say?"
Gao Mingyu sighed, "My parents said we would use our house and shop as compensation!"
Yang's eyebrows suddenly stood up. She was the wife of her third wife, and the gambling debt owed by her second wife was none of her business. If all of it was paid off, wouldn't it mean that she had married a man who didn't even have a house?
"no!"
Gao Mingyu frowned and looked at his wife, "This is my parents' order."
Yang sneered, "If it's over, I'll make peace with you!"
Gao Mingyu: "..."
He turned to look at his second brother, "Are you trying to separate my wife and children?"
Gao Mingfang moved his lips: "I didn't mean it. I want to help you live a good life..."
Gao Mingyu hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "Have you ever seen a person who has been gambling for a long time and made a fortune?"
Gao Mingfang said plausibly, "What if I am an exception?"
Gao Mingyu: "..." I want to beat someone up!
The two brothers were quarreling fiercely and were about to fight. The leading man over there took a stick and knocked on the ground, "Stop quarreling!"
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
The man's voice was fierce: "We have already estimated your house and shop before we came here. Together with the goods inside, we will give you a total of one hundred and thirty taels. If we get another seventy taels, we will clear everything!"
The two brothers looked at each other.
Their shop and house, if negotiated seriously, would cost around 200 taels, but they won't be able to find anyone to take over for a while, so the price will inevitably be lowered. However, no matter what, they can't get it down to 70 taels.
Gao Mingyu immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, our store is in a good location, and the goods inside have just been purchased. There is no way we can afford more than this amount of money."
The man sneered, "For the second master's pleasure in gambling, I can't take any less than sixty taels."
Mr. He's eyes were already swollen from crying. At Gao Mingfang's signal, he went back to the room crying, turned over thirty taels of silver and came out, "All are here."
I started saving this money when I was in Gaofu. I have had this for so many years. I thought it was quite a lot at first, but in the face of gambling debts, it is really not enough.
The man got the house deed and looked at the forty taels of silver together with Gao Mu. He was quite satisfied and said, "Seeing how cheerful you are, if you give me another ten taels, the debt will be over!"
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Mingfang looked at He and asked, "Is there more?"
He shook his head, "No more."
Gao Mingfang looked at his third brother, "Third brother, just twelve!"
Yang's natal family is wealthy and she always loves her daughter. She will only have more money in her hands than He.
But Yang didn't move. When she met her man's gaze, she had a puzzled look on her face, "What do you think I'm doing? Your house is gone, and all of you will leave soon! Let's make peace with each other. I'll be with the Gao family."
It doesn’t matter, don’t expect me to help you pay off your debt!”
She took it if she didn't want to. She was afraid that everyone would change their mind after waiting too long. He had no choice but to run back to the house and collect a bag of jewelry and valuables. The man saw several gold jewelry inside and finally finally
Satisfied, he left. Before leaving, he smiled and said, "Second Master is really happy. Come and play again later!"
Have fun!
Looking at his wife with a frosty look on her face, Gao Mingyu just wanted to curse!
The man was about to leave, but he thought of something again and said, "You must vacate this house for me before tomorrow!"
After the debt collectors left, everyone was not relieved. A neighbor at the door asked curiously, "What are those people doing here?"
Mrs. Yang only felt embarrassed and angrily went back to the house. She put away her clothes and clothes, asked the maids to load them into the carriage, and went back to the Yang family's house.
As for Gao Mingyu and his concubines, they were left behind.
Gao Mingfang also took the crying He to pack his things. When he went out, the sun was already setting. Standing at the door, everyone was at a loss. Gao Mingfang gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the inner city to find your parents and eldest brother!"
It was getting late when we arrived outside Luo Qiaoqiao's courtyard. After knocking on the door, the concierge didn't open the door at all.
Luo Qiaoqiao had known for a long time that the two brothers would come to her door, so she had been on guard for a long time.
After knocking for half a night, the two brothers were left penniless. Finally, Gao Mingyu's concubine took the body and the family moved into the inn.
It was dawn the next morning. After the two brothers got up, they went straight to Luo Qiaoqiao's yard.
The door was open during the day, but the concierge wouldn't let them in, and wouldn't inform Gao's father or the others. Gao Mingfang was furious, "I'm asking my parents to apologize, why are you stopping me?"
In the front yard, Gao's mother was also trying to persuade her daughter-in-law, "Qiaoqiao, we are all a family, why are you so heartless?"
Gao Mingzhe hesitated to speak, looking like he wanted to persuade but couldn't.
Luo Qiaoqiao was unmoved: "As I said before, if we want them to come in, you all have to move out." After saying that, she looked at Gao Mingzhe beside her and said coldly: "Including you, get out of here too.
