"This matter is not negotiable, this money cannot be missing!" Shi Huaifu said angrily.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Song Chengtian hurriedly softened his tone, and said with a smile: "This hurts people, we naturally want to give an explanation, but there are a lot of explanations, and our old Song family can't raise so much money for a while." ”

"In this way, you go back first, and we will think of a way to see how to raise money, and also see how this matter should be handled, what do you think?"

"This matter is not small, the money is not a small amount, you are willing to discuss, I don't deliberately embarrass you, but this discussion must have a time to discuss, not a discussion, a year and a half of discussion, this matter, at most give you five days, whether to pay the silver, or we want to report to the official, you also make a decision."

"Remember, five days, just five days, if you don't give us an explanation, then the county government will see you!"

Shi Huaifu snorted, stood up, looked around at the circle of people, and shouted: "Don't think about sneaking away or anything, if you run away, then you are a fugitive, and even if you involve relatives and clansmen, you have a number in your heart!" ”

"Rest assured, we know this matter in our hearts, and we will definitely not do such a thing."

Song Chengtian said: "It's just that when we discussed, can we take Song Leshun back first, you have also beaten it, and the anger that should be out has also come out, this person has been put back for the time being, and our family can also be at ease, do you think?" ”

"This can't be done, this person is put back, and when you turn around, you don't admit that Song Leshun made furniture for us, so what should we do? This Song Leshun has to be watched by us first, and it also prevents you from escaping. ”

"But you can rest assured, we didn't treat this Song Leshun harshly, after a beating, he was locked up in the ancestral hall of our Shi family, kept in the care, and ate three meals a day."

"If you don't believe it, just go and see it, and we don't tell nonsense, we don't do things that harm people's lives, but we just ask for an explanation."

Shi Huaifu said: "Don't worry about this matter, it's better to think about how to explain it to us as soon as possible, and make up enough silver for 1,800 taels as soon as possible." ”

"That's it, that's it, let's think of a way as soon as possible to see how this matter should be resolved." Song Chengtian hurriedly agreed.

"Then you hurry up and discuss, let's go back first, five days, don't forget."

Shi Huaifu stood up, beckoned the people he brought, and was about to go outside.

"Wait a minute."

Xie Yinan stood up at this time.

"Is there anything else with your little daughter-in-law?" Shi Huaifu glanced at her.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, I dropped Shi Yongkuan's chair, but it's still there? I don't think he fell at will, just say that my eldest brother made a chair. Xie Yinan asked.

"What is it like when you fall, it will still be what it is, but I'm afraid that you will not admit it when the time comes, I haven't let anyone touch it, if you don't believe it, just go back and follow us to see."

Shi Huaifu snorted coldly: "You can rest assured, we won't do this random slander." ”

After hearing this, Xie Yinan blinked his eyes and pursed his lips.

Seeing that she was speechless, Shi Huaifu snorted coldly again, glared at her even more, and walked away with all the people.

Song Chengtian led a few people and sent them out.

"That's good." As soon as the outsider left, Cao Shi couldn't stand anymore, and when he collapsed on the ground, he began to howl: "Two thousand taels of silver, where can I find two thousand taels of silver, how can I live in the future, how can I live......

Cao's crying was sad, Guo's was also crying sadly, and even Song Yulan wiped her tears at this time.

She couldn't bear such a big thing in her heart, but she kept persuading Cao: "Mother, don't cry first, there is always a solution to this matter, let's think of a way, we can always deal with the past, don't you always say, there is no endless road?" ”

"We're sure we can do it......"

When Song Yulan said this, she didn't have much confidence in her heart, so that in the end, she cried with a thick tone.

At this moment, the Cao family became more and more dispossessed, crying more and more, crying while pointing at Guo Shi and scolding: "Mourning star, stirring up trouble, restless and kind-hearted all day long, I know that instigating the masters to do messy things will cause such a big disaster to the family......"

Guo Shi knew that he was wrong, and he didn't dare to refute it, he was also shocked and scared at this time, and he only knew that he was crying with Song Kangping there.

"Don't cry, this is not the time to cry, let's think about what to do." Song Chengtian, who sent the Shi family out, sat on the stool and let out a long sigh after he came back.

"What else can I do? One thousand eight hundred taels of silver, where to get it, it is not enough to sell our entire old Song family, in my opinion, just let the Shi family sue the yamen, at most it is a sentence of hard labor, and it will be hard for a few years. "The second uncle Liu said.

"That's not possible, if you go to do labor, few people can come back, Shunzi goes, I'm afraid it will be equivalent to losing your life, besides, if Shunzi is convicted, our old Song family will not be able to test for fame."

Hu pouted and said, "Brother and sister, no one in your family is studying, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, but my family's Lewen is going to take the Xiucai exam, if there is no future, how can it be good?" ”

"Brother and sister, you can't ignore other things because you're afraid of making up money, you can't be so selfish."

Liu Shi was poked in his mind, his face turned pale, and he only quibbled: "Where do I have such a mind, but I just think that I can't make up so much money anyway, even if I don't have enough money at that time, the historian will have to sue the yamen, so it's better to dispel this thought as soon as possible......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's a headache to be noisy!"

Song Chengtian was already annoyed by this matter, and his mind was messed up, and this time he was even more troubled by the two of them arguing here, and opened his mouth to scold.

The Hu family and the Liu family, seeing that Song Chengtian was angry, quickly stopped talking and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two of them were quiet, Song Chengtian's anger decreased slightly, cleared his throat, and continued:

"It's not up to you two women to decide this matter, whatever you think, just collect it, wait for Cheng You and Shanzi to come back, and see what the two of them say about it."

"It's just that there is only one point, I, who is the boss, will make it clear to a few of you first, this Shunzi matter, although it is a matter of the third room, but it is also a matter of our entire old Song family, no matter what the time comes, how much is this decided, the rest of the family can't say that they don't help, how much strength they have when the time comes, how much strength they have, if you think about not helping at this time, don't blame me, the boss, for throwing your face!"
