Chen Qiusheng narrated, and Chen Qiuxia occasionally added. They talked twice in a mixed manner, and Chen Qiuniang finally figured out what happened today.

Today, after she left home to go to Liuhe Town, the scumbag father Chen Quanzhong came back. It's not like the usual gambling money and losing money, and coming back drunk. Instead, he was escorted back by several fierce and vicious men.

It is said that Chen Quanzhong did not go home for a while, and he lived in the gambling house in Wuli Town. After he lost all his last gamble, he went home and beat Chen Qiuniang half to death, forcing Chen Liu's family to hand over the last belongings. Then, he set off with the only few pieces of broken silver in the house, two strings of copper coins, seven or eight iron coins, and a bracelet that he had collected from Chen Liu's family.

This has been going for more than half a month, and Chen Quanzhong won some at first, and then lost them all. The owner of the gambling house also knew him, and felt that although the Chen family had fallen, he was a big family in the past, and he must still have hidden oil and water, so he agreed to lend him money.

Chen Quanzhong wanted to turn the book around, but in the ups and downs, coming and going, winning and losing, he lost all the money he borrowed. The owner of the gambling house thought that he must still have oil and water, so he lent him money.

After repeating this three times, the owner of the gambling house asked him to pay off the previous money first. Where Chen Quanzhong could still get the money, he said that he would borrow it again and repay it when he turned it over.

The owner of the gambling house did not comply, and Chen Quanzhong said that he would go home and get the money back to him. The people who opened the gambling house were not fuel-efficient lamps, ostensibly promising Chen Quanzhong to go home and get the money, but secretly calling people to follow him. As expected, Chen Quanzhong did not go back to Liucun, but ran elsewhere.

The owner of the gambling house decided that Chen Quanzhong wanted to run away and not pay back. Chen Quanzhong shouted that he had misunderstood and was wronged. As a result, there was a merchant from the nearby Wang Village in the gambling house, who was quite familiar with the situation of the Chen family, and said on the side where could he get the money, their Chen family was ruined, his lame old lady was dizzy with hunger, and the five children were about to starve to death.

"Okay, you Chen Quanzhong, you dare to lie to the uncle, and you dare to run away. You don't want to inquire about what kind of business the uncle is doing. "As soon as the owner of the gambling house gave an order, the thugs of the gambling house were beaten violently.

In fact, everyone knows that this gambling house is nothing more than lending usury to gamblers, the gambling house means sophisticated, let people win money at the beginning of the period, arouse people's interest and passion, and then make people lose or something, and then let people win, and the ultimate goal is to make people lose all and win back the borrowed money.

At this time, in the face of the person who has lost everything, lend him money again, or urge the borrower to repay the money and repay the interest. If the borrower can't repay the money, he will show his hideous face and use all kinds of violence to intimidate and suppress.

Of course, the violent beating is only a means, and the goal is to finally squeeze out the oil and water. The person who squeezed out the oil and water was almost no longer valued by the gambling house.

Therefore, the owner of the gambling house beat Chen Quanzhong violently, and the purpose was also to squeeze out the last oil and water of the Chen family.

Chen Quanzhong was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, saying that he really couldn't come up with the money, and stubbornly begged the owner of the gambling house to lend him some money. The owner of the gambling house spat on his face fiercely. and put down the cruel words, if Chen Quanzhong didn't pay back the money, he would directly chop off his hands.

Chen Quanzhong was afraid of death, so he immediately knelt on the ground in fright, saying that his wife was Fei Guifei's nurse before, and she had been in the palace, and there must be something private, so please don't chop off his hand, let him go home and beg his wife to get money.

This Fei Guifei's reputation is far and wide, not to mention Shuzhong, even the north and the south also know it. In the past, Meng Chang, the queen of Shu, was extremely spoiled by talented and good-looking women, and various rewards were definitely indispensable. As Concubine Fei's nurse, she has served Concubine Fei in the palace for many years. No one believes that this old woman of the Liu family has no private hiding.

And the owner of the gambling house must know Chen Liu's identity. After all, the Chen family once lived in Wuli Town. The origin or something, they are all neighbors, and they must be clear.

As soon as Chen Qiuniang heard the methods of the gambling house, she immediately understood that this was actually a trap set by the owner of the gambling house, and the purpose was to think that Chen Liu's identity in the past must have been squeezed.

It's a pity that the owner of the gambling house miscalculated, and the Chen family had lost countless amounts of property in that rebellion, and after that, Chen Quanzhong gambled with others and lost all his family wealth. The bits and pieces of Chen Liu's private collection were also exhausted in his eating, drinking, and gambling.

When Chen Quanzhong was violently beaten, he lied in a hurry and said that Chen Liu's family had a private possession. The owner of the gambling house let him go back to Liucun to get the money.

Chen Quanzhong was beaten to a pig's head, and was escorted to the door of the house, and as soon as he saw Chen Liu, he called her to take the money. Chen Liu's old man burst into tears, trembling with anger on crutches, and roared: "God kills it, it is evil." Where there is money, there is still money. I can't open the pot at home. ”

"Mother, I owe someone money, if you don't give it, they will chop off my hands. Can you bear to see me like this? Chen Quanzhong's tone was a little pleading.

Chen Liushi wiped his tears, cried whining, and said, "Quan Zhong, you have done evil." What is not good, go to gambling. If you look at a few children, they haven't eaten for several meals, and they're dying of hunger. What kind of face will you have to see your daughter-in-law in the future? ”

"Mother, I will definitely change it. You can help me pay back the money first. Chen Quanzhong only blindly begged Chen Liu's for money.

Chen Liushi wiped away his tears and said bitterly: "You took all my coffin books." Even the money for the family to survive the crisis, you have taken all the money. Where is the money, where do you say there is still money? ”

"If you don't give it, they'll chop my hand." Chen Quanzhong emphasized. And the people who took him with a fierce look said that it was true.

Chen Liushi shook his head and said, "Son, you know the foundation of this family, you really don't have any money." You've been defeated for most of the past half a year. ”

Chen Quanzhong saw that Chen Liu's family didn't give money, and immediately looked hideous, and said: "Don't pretend, you will be good to the dead girl you brought in in the future and hide your secrets for her." You think I don't know? In those years, when my family was better, I turned a blind eye. You hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, I'll sell the girl. ”

"Are you still human? How can you be ungrateful? Chen Liushi complained loudly, heartbroken, and wiped his face with snot and tears.

"Less nonsense, if not her. Our family lives in Qingcheng County, how could we come to Wuli Town. If I don't come to Wuli Town, how can my daughter-in-law die? Chen Quanzhong also scolded loudly.

"You, you, your own fault, still blame Qiu Niang. The old lady has no money. You can't sell her either. Chen Liu shouted, "If you sell her, I will die for you." ”

"You'd better prepare the money. Otherwise, I will sell her. Chen Quanzhong said viciously, turned over the jars and jars at home, and spilled the porridge that Chen Qiuniang boiled for the two younger brothers.

Chen Quanzhong didn't find anything in the end, so he finally grabbed Chen Liu's arm, dragged it and threw it under the willow tree outside the house, and said fiercely: "You'd better take out the money." Otherwise, I will sell her, or I will go to the yamen to tell the truth. ”

"You dare, you dare." Chen Liushi didn't care about the injury on his face, so he roared.

Chen Quanzhong was taken away by the thugs of the gambling house again. Chen Liu's leg was injured again, Chen Qiusheng and Qiuxia were so frightened that they didn't dare to cry, and only after the group left, they went to help Chen Liu's up, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried.

"Dad said he was going to sell my sister." Qiu Xia cried. This year's life changes, she also felt it when she was young. And the eldest sister is the backbone and a sense of security. Hearing that her father said that she was going to sell her eldest sister, Chen Qiuxia was very scared.

"Grandma won't let him sell your eldest sister. No, it won't. Chen Liushi stopped crying and comforted the two children. Only then did he tell Chen Qiusheng to invite Wan Sanniang over.

Wan Sanniang hesitated for a long time, but she came, and before Chen Liushi could speak, she first said: "Old aunt, I know what you mean." However, there is no such shop in this village. Don't you understand? My cousin just sent someone to spread the word quickly, the old lady of the Zhu family collapsed, and the new head of the family said that the jade ring was no longer a token of the Zhu family. If you like to deal with it, how do you deal with it, it should be regarded as paying off your life-saving grace to the old man of the Zhu family back then. People said that you have nothing to do with the Zhu family. The Zhu family will not let an ominous woman enter the house, even if it is to be a maid. ”

"Sanniang, old aunt, please, you tell your cousin that I was not good before, let her help me. Qiu Niang is still so young," Chen Liushi wiped old tears.

Wan Sanniang counted impatiently for a while, and said, "Old aunt, I didn't say you. She's an ominous person, look at how good your family was before, how honest and loyal Quan Zhong is, what has become of her now? Are you worth it for such a wild species, ominous? Okay, I don't have to lie to you, what I said just now was what my cousin asked me to tell you, that is the attitude of the Zhu family. ”

After Wan Sanniang said this, she was also annoyed that Chen Liu's blindly knelt down and pleaded, and immediately went back in disgust and closed the door.

Chen Liushi leaned against the door, hugged Chen Qiuxia and Qiusheng and cried for a while, before telling the two of them not to tell Sister Sù about today's incident, she hated her father.

"That dad is going to sell my sister. My sister will know. Chen Qiusheng asked.

"Qiusheng. You go and ask the village chief to come, and grandma asks the village chief to help. When the time comes, your dad will get the money and it won't be sold. Chen Liushi instructed Qiusheng to go to the village chief.

As a result, the village chief was receiving the group of fast catchers, as well as the hunting team from the Zhang family, and he didn't have time to come to Chen Liu's place, so he asked Qiusheng to tell Chen Liu's that when he was done, he would come over in person.

Chen Liushi was helpless, so he told the two children not to let the eldest sister know what happened today, let alone let her know that her father was going to sell her. It is said that there is discord at home, and everything is not prosperous.

"The eldest sister knows what happened next." After Chen Qiusheng finished narrating, he lost such a sentence.

"Hmm." Chen Qiuniang continued to cook porridge. In his heart, he was wondering what there was to hide, besides, Chen Quanzhong made a fuss known to the whole village. Can you still hide it? Is she really old and confused?

"Anyway, my father said that if grandma didn't take the money, she would sell her eldest sister, or she would go to the government to tell her or something. Eldest sister, grandma really doesn't seem to have any money. What to do? "Chen Qiusheng has always prided himself as a little man and wants to protect his family. But at this moment, in the face of the fact that he might lose the eldest sister he had always relied on, his voice still trembled, and he looked very scared.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned by Chen Qiusheng's concluding words and went to the government to report it. Could it be that she, Chen Qiuniang or Chen Liu, is still carrying a murder case, or collaborating with the enemy and treason?

While she was still thinking about it, she could hear the dogs barking in the village, and there were hundreds of people running nearby, with dense footsteps and well-trained.

The three sisters and brothers were stunned for a while, and then they heard someone shouting: "Liu Langzhong, Liu Langzhong, hurry up and save people, hurry up and save people." ”
