"This morning, when I arrived in Hangzhou City, I went straight to Desheng Lane to ask for debts, and asked Cheng to repay the Zou family's eight thousand taels of silver." Chu Jiu lowered his head and replied.

At the beginning, the person who borrowed the silver from the Zou family was the Wang family, and the IOU was also written by the Wang family, but now the Wang family was given a break from the Xi family's big house, and he was still in prison, and the Zou family was worried that the eight thousand taels of silver would be lost, so he sent his personal mother-in-law to ask the Cheng family to pay it back.

The silver borrowed by the Wang family, the Cheng family did not admit it.

The mother-in-law threatened Xi Lan's family affairs.

Only then did Cheng understand why so many things happened to the Xi family, but the Zou family didn't bring anyone over to withdraw from the family, it turned out that they wanted to use Xi Lan's marriage to pinch her, thinking that she would return the silver.

After Cheng figured it out, he said bluntly, "So many things have happened in the Xi family, I believe your wife has already heard about it, and now I have a hand, not to mention silver, even a few copper plates, I still want to go to your wife to borrow some silver in the next few days to help us get through this difficulty." ”

The mother-in-law asked for a debt, but she didn't get a penny, and when she heard Cheng say that she wanted to borrow from the Zou family again, the mother-in-law suddenly became angry and muttered, "Your house is burned, that's your family's business, but your family owes my wife money, which is indispensable, and you don't want to rely on it and not pay it back, otherwise the eldest lady's marriage will not be able to be saved." ”

"What do you mean?" Cheng Shi was also angry, "You want to threaten my wife with Ah Lan's marriage?" ”

"Old lady, the old slave doesn't dare to threaten, the old slave just tells the truth, just with the current situation of your family, my Shen family hasn't sent someone to come over to withdraw from the family, isn't it still thinking that the eldest lady is the grandniece and granddaughter of the wife, but you can't just rely on this, just rely on borrowing my wife's silver and not give it, my wife is now in urgent need, the wife said, don't give the silver, then return the family, just what our Shen family sent to the eldest lady, the old slave brought it back, but, even if you retire the family, how to repay the silver borrowed by your Xi family, How do you have to pay it back? ”

"Roll on...... When did our family borrow money from your wife? Cheng got angry, grabbed a teacup on the table and threw it at his mother-in-law, "The faceless and skinless slave said that my family borrowed 8,000 taels of silver from your wife, what about the IOU?" ”

"If you don't have an IOU, just get me out of the house."

The four cups on the table were grabbed and smashed at the mother-in-law.

Frightened, the mother-in-law retreated again and again and retreated outside the gate.

In the mother-in-law's hand, there is indeed an IOU, but the handprint and name on the IOU are not Cheng's, but Wang's.

The Wang family was divorced by the Xi family, so it is not considered the Xi family, and the Zou family asked for debts, but they really couldn't ask the Xi family.

It's just that the Wang family is in prison, and there is no money to pay back to the Zou family, so the Zou family will first send a mother-in-law to test the tone of the Xi family.

If the Xi family admits the eight thousand taels of silver, then the Zou family's eight thousand taels of silver will not be considered a waste, but as Zou expected, the Xi family does not intend to admit this debt.

The mother-in-law was unwilling to go back like this, so she stood at the gate of the Xi family and scolded, "It is indeed not your handprint on the IOU, but it is Wang Ruying's, when Wang Ruying borrowed the silver, she was still the eldest wife of the Xi family, she borrowed this silver for your Xi family, and this silver should be returned by your Xi family now." ”

"Phew...... If you ask me to return the silver, I will ask Wang Ruying for the silver. Cheng spat on the ground.
