Chapter 237: 237 Debt Collection 5
Don’t show off!”
Aunt Zhang’s face turned red with anger.
Early in the morning, Granny Sun brought people to Xiao Family’s house to demand debt repayment. The noise attracted more than a dozen people outside the courtyard fence. Finally, a villager, Qian Youfa, couldn’t stand it any longer, “Granny Sun, don’t bully Aunt Zhang. She’s just trying to help. Outsiders can’t support others. As for you, the Xiao Family owes you a little over four taels. The Xiao’s house may be broken, but it comes with such a large yard, which should be worth ten to twenty taels. You want to take it away for just a little over four taels? Your conscience must have been eaten by dogs!”
“Exactly.” someone echoed, “The Xiao Family brothers have suffered enough misfortune. The Xiao Family’s second son has green skin, nobody knows whether he can make it or not. The Xiao Family has no farmland, and if you take their house, you’re deliberately trying to kill them!”
Liu Xiaohong, who originally wanted to speak up for Granny Sun, saw everyone’s dissatisfaction and didn’t dare to interject.
Granny Sun couldn’t stand this, “What do you mean I’m trying to kill them or I have no conscience? Everyone, listen, it was Xiao Yishan who said that everything was negotiable except involving Su Qingyue. Xiao Yishan, you choose to mortgage your house or your wife!”
Su Qingyue really wanted to slap Granny Sun a few times. But she did owe her money, and since she had no money to repay, she could only bear with it for now. She had already thought of a way to repay the debt.
Hearing Granny Sun asking her second brother to choose and not saying anything yet, Su Qingyue temporarily remained silent.
Xiao Yishan raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Xiao Yuchuan, “Third Brother, I’m sorry for you and Fourth Brother.”
His words obviously meant that they didn’t want the house anymore.
Xiao Yuchuan looked pained, “Second Brother, don’t say that. It’s okay if we don’t have the house, as long as our wives are with us.” He reached out and grabbed Su Qingyue’s hand, holding it tightly, “Wife, don’t worry. If we lose our house, we can… we can live in a mountain cave.”
“I know there’s a cave not far from the village on the mountain. Our family can live there temporarily…” Xiao Yishan showed a smile-like grimace to Su
Qingyue with a stiff face, and his beard made him still look serious and rigid.
But Su Qingyue’s heart was warmed by the words of him and Chuan.
These two men… would rather lose their home than use her to pay off debts.
In the secondary bedroom, Xiao Qinghe didn’t know about his brothers’ decision. His elegant voice came through, “Second Brother, Third Brother, we have to protect Qingyue, even if it costs our lives.”
Su Qingyue’s heart was filled with emotion. Even the Xiao Family’s fourth son was so kind to her. She smiled and said, “Why live in a mountain cave?
Wouldn’t it be better to find a broken temple to live in?”
Xiao Yishan’s eyes were moist. Yue’er was willing to share the hardships of the Xiao Family. No, he was incapable. The Xiao Family had never given her a good life, “Granny Sun, take the house…” Before he could finish, Su Qingyue interrupted him, “Isn’t it just five taels of silver? I’ll pay it back.”
Granny Sun was anxious. It wasn’t just five taels, Xiao Yishan was going to use the house to pay off the debt, which was worth ten or twenty taels! She also felt that taking the Xiao Family’s house was a bit too much, but that little conscience was not as important as money. Her heart was completely set on money, “Give it up, Su Qingyue. You’re a bought wife without even decent clothes.. Where would you get the money to repay?”
