The housekeeper said: "In the past, it cost you a lot to cultivate, and the second master used to be very frugal, but after making friends with the gang in the main courtyard, this silver was spent like flowing water, as if it was not spent, and many shops and Zhuangzi had been sold." ”

Lu Hongyu said: "Is that a blackmail of those people?"

Lin Dayong echoed: "This must pay protection money, but for now, let's give someone an explanation first." ”

The housekeeper said: "This can't be explained, don't hide it from you, the second master thought about it before, sell some more family business, and turn it around first, but I calculated it for him, this can only be paid back part of it first, there are so many people outside, and we can't pay it back at all, we can't have nothing, right?"

Mu Yunxi muttered: "I don't understand why your second uncle wants to cooperate with those people, even if he lets him rob the family wealth, it is not for them to rob them." ”

Leng Chao said: "Those people didn't dare to speak out at first, let your second uncle be a cover, and your second uncle let them have a handle, so they can only support them, look at the bills of those people outside, let's go back to the inn to live." ”

Lin Xiaoqian said: "If you don't have enough money, I still have it here, and my eldest brother and I will make some for you." ”

Lu Hongyu sighed and said: "No, no need, don't bother you, I will solve my family's affairs by myself, housekeeper, how much money is still in the family, this must be returned to others." ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said: "Young master, if you really want to repay the money, you have to sell all the family business, I'm afraid it's not enough, I think it's better to pay back part of it first, pay it back slowly, and then pay it back when the business continues and makes money." ”

"That's all there is to it now. Lu Hongyu went out and told everyone to let everyone be lenient and let him pay off his debts slowly, but he was a well-known gentleman and was not good at management, so everyone didn't buy his account, so he had to force him to pay back.

Lu Hongyu was forced to have no choice but to go bankrupt to repay the debts, and finally sent those people away, and came back with a tired face and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I can't greet everyone today, let's go back to the inn, someone here will come to collect the house later." ”

Lin Xiaoqian said: "No problem, let's just leave, but it's you, do you still need silver?" I can make up a little for you." ”

Lu Hongyu looked at them a little embarrassed, but still nodded, and everyone made up money for him, which was considered to pay off the debt, and the subordinates in the family were dismissed, and they could only go back to the inn to rest.

When the shopkeeper saw them, he immediately said, "You must remember that you are welcome to stay in the shop, but you can no longer light the lights and talk." ”

Mu Yunxi smiled and said tiredly: "I'm not afraid tonight, if you're worried, hurry up and make some meals and send them to our room." ”

The shopkeeper didn't believe them, so he hurriedly cooked a meal for them at dawn, and then closed the door and turned off the lights.

Mu Yunxi and the others had eaten and rested, after all, they were very tired after a day of fighting.

For several days in a row, they rested in the inn, and Leng Chao came to change Mu Yunxi's dressing every day, and Mu Yunxi was very curious about his new pet, "Why doesn't this goat eat? I feed it grass, and it doesn't eat at all." ”

Leng Chao would not tell her that the gluttonous ghost goes to the mountains outside the city to eat every night, and he will eat all the beasts on the mountain, and in terms of his virtue, he must not eat grass, and it is already very face-saving if he does not eat people.

He said vaguely: "Naturally, don't eat it, it's very special, don't provoke it." ”
