Chapter 380: Threats and Intimidation

This is five hundred taels of silver, and it is not a small amount of money like five taels, and it is reasonable that the shopkeeper is afraid that he will not borrow it again.

The problem is that Lin Dacheng really can't get five hundred taels.

He didn't feel anything when he was addicted to gambling before, but he gradually blurred the concept between winning and losing.

Now that I heard it, my face turned white with fright.

The shopkeeper's heart also chuckled, and he asked again: "Lin Gongzi may pay back this money immediately?" ”

Cold sweat slid down his forehead, Lin Dacheng understood that this time the matter was made a big fuss, and Dongfang Yi's loss was absolutely unjustifiable.

Thinking about it and thinking about it, he didn't think of any good way, Lin Dacheng hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "The shopkeeper, lend me another ten taels." I'll give you all the money when I win. ”

"Huh. Win? What if you don't win? The shopkeeper also understood that Lin Dacheng really had no money, sneered, and shouted outside, "Ah San, Ah Si!" ”

As soon as the two people who were called in entered the door, they were looked at by Lin Dacheng.

With a rugged face and a strong body, and a long stick in his hand, he looks like a thug raised in the gambling house.

Lin Dacheng was so frightened that he couldn't say anything: "Palm...... Shopkeeper's ...... You trust me, give me ...... Give me a little time and I'll pay it back. ”

"Pay it back? Well, in three days I will see the silver. The shopkeeper said, "Lin Gongzi, we are also old acquaintances, these three days are my grace for you, if you don't see the silver after three days...... Then don't blame me for going to the door to collect the debt. ”

Lin Dacheng came out of the gambling house with a white face and stumbled back to Dongfang Yifu.

Lin was still scratching his head and thinking about what to do with Dongfang Qi, but he didn't expect Lin Dacheng to come back like this, his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "You kid, what's wrong, your face is white like this." ”

"Mother. Now only you can save me. Lin Daxiang grabbed the life-saving straw, grabbed Lin's sleeve, and said, "I...... I didn't stop this time, and I owed the gambling house five hundred taels of silver. ”

"How much?" Lin was stunned.

"Five hundred taels." Lin Dacheng cried, "Mother, you must help me, otherwise those people in the gambling house will come directly to collect debts, and if you don't even come to the door, you don't know when you will kill me." ”

"Smack."

A crisp slap sounded, and Lin shook his hands and glanced at his son with hatred. Lin Dacheng had a red face, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"You want me to tell you something." Lin panted, reached out and stroked his chest, stared at Lin Dacheng viciously, and finally thought that this was her son, she couldn't ignore it, gritted her teeth and thought about going to the shop to take out the money and put it on him first. After all, the people in the gambling house know what they will do.

The shop was the one that Dongfang Yi handed over to the two of them to manage before, and Lin Dacheng reached out to the Lin family to ask for money, and most of the Lin family took it from the shop.

But the good times didn't last long, and a shop that originally made money, because of the liquidity of the shop, once slowed down the supply.

There are also store employees who scold customers and accumulate notoriety, and now it has reached the point of loss.

After careful calculation, what can be given to his son now, let alone five hundred taels, even one hundred taels is not.

After Lin learned of the situation, he suddenly fell to the ground.

Dongfang Yi didn't know that Lin Dacheng had such a big thing, in addition to dealing with things at home these days, he was in a happy mood, and even thought that he would simply move the office to his home as much as possible in the future.

But unexpectedly, gradually, the couple found out that something was wrong.

When Nalan Jin was playing with the child, he often taught Dongfang Qi some common sense things, such as when riding a small wooden horse, he would tell him stories and teach him how to deal with things.

Dongfang Yi went to the study to deal with things, Nalan Jin accompanied Dongfang Qi, and asked with a smile: "Are you hungry, my mother will bring you some pastries." ”

"Hungry." Although Dongfang Qi is a small person, he can still understand the word hungry.

Hearing this, Nalan Jin got up and prepared to go to the kitchen, and as soon as she walked out of Dongfang Qi's line of sight, she heard the sound of a child crying behind her, which frightened her and immediately turned back to see what was going on.

But only the maid was in the courtyard, and she didn't find any problems, so she coaxed distressedly: "What's the matter, tell my mother." It's okay, it's okay. ”

When Dongfang Qi saw that the person was back, he immediately pounced on her, hugged her neck and didn't let go.

It was reluctant to let her go.

But Nalan Jin always felt that something was wrong, and after coaxing the child, he got up and didn't take two steps, Dongfang Qi ran over again, hugged her legs, and wanted to cry or not.

She finally understood that this child couldn't leave her and Dongfang Yi at all now.

Even if he had been in a safe environment for a few days now, if one of them hadn't been there, Dongfang Qi would have shown a restless and frightened mood.

Nalan Jin's nose couldn't help but be sour again.

What did her child suffer outside to behave like this now.

I'm afraid this has already caused a wound in his heart.

"Mother doesn't leave." Dongfang Qi's soft little body lay in her arms, burying his head vigorously, and his tone was aggrieved.

"Okay, my mother won't leave."

At night, Dongfang Qi naturally wanted to sleep with Dongfang Yi and his wife.

After coaxing the child to sleep, Nalan Jin thought of Dongfang Qi's wrong mood during the day, whispered about it, and said worriedly: "My son's situation is not right, I thought about it, otherwise we should ask a gentleman to come back and teach first, and I will accompany my son to the class." ”

Dongfang Yi didn't expect his son to be in this situation, and when he accompanied him before, he was only accompanied, and he still had official business to deal with.

Therefore, he cared less about his son's mood, and always thought that Nalan Jin was there, no problem.

As soon as he heard about this, he became nervous.

Regarding what Nalan Jin said about inviting a gentleman, Dongfang Yi thought about it and said, "My son is only five years old, which is the age of enlightenment. But he is afraid of people, and this can only change him slowly. I think it's enough for you to teach him some time ago, and when he gets better, we'll ask a gentleman to come back. ”

Originally, she thought that if she taught by herself, she would never have the opportunity to contact outsiders, would it be bad?

After listening to Dongfang Yi's words, she reacted back to herself, and she was drilling the tip of the horns. What is the difference between letting him contact strangers at the beginning and thinking about curing his situation.

After thinking about it, Nalan Jin agreed. It's just that I didn't expect the news of Dongfang Qi's return to be announced in the house, and many people wanted to come and have a look.

If others are curious or want to see what the little master looks like, it's fine, but even Shen Caiyi often comes over, which makes Nalan Jin a little headache.

Shen Caiyi looked at her with a somewhat unhappy expression, and as if she hadn't seen it, she still greeted her with a smile: "Sister." It seems that this is the little young master in the house. ”

A stranger came over, and Dongfang Qi obviously showed his resistance.

Because she didn't wait to see this person before, and she was exempted from Shen Caiyi's greeting, Dongfang Yi pretended to be well-behaved and called Mrs. in front of her, but she also called her sister in private.

At this time, Nalan Jin felt that Dongfang Yi brought Shen Caiyi back to make her very uncomfortable, but the main room really had to be generous, and she had to endure it.

After standing there for a while, Nalan Jin asked someone to move a chair over, motioned for Shen Caiyi to sit down, and told Dongfang Qidao: "This is the second lady in the house, remember to call her aunt when you see her in the future." ”

Shen Caiyi's face was distorted for a moment, and then she smiled like a flower, and beckoned to the east: "Come to Auntie, let Auntie hug." ”

Dongfang Qi hurriedly turned his head and buried himself in Nalan Jin's arms and pretended to be dead.

Nalan Jin smiled: "The child just came back, and his mood is not very stable. ”

didn't want Shen Caiyi to run into her son, Dongfang Qi's reaction was just right, and he didn't need to give her face. Nalan Jin felt very satisfied.

didn't get any benefits, Shen Caiyi sat for a while, and then wrung her handkerchief and went back.

Xianglan saw that she looked bad, hesitated, served a cup of tea, and stayed quietly aside.

Shen Caiyi asked, "What did you find out about that child?" ”

Before asking Xianglan to find a way to contact to inquire about the situation, she always thought that sooner or later she would drive the child out of the house.

If the child is older, it will be difficult to solve, and with this child here, no matter how provoked the relationship between Dongfang Yi and them is, it will not be as easy to shake as it is now.

The most important thing is that she will definitely find an opportunity to conceive Dongfang Yi's child, and she will not allow anyone to stand in the way of her future child.

Xianglan heard Shen Caiyi calling her, so she stepped forward and replied, "The slave maid went to inquire about the recent situation. After the young master returned, it was said that he was very afraid of the living, so the lady was always by his side. There are a lot of things in business, but the young master is often absent. ”

"Afraid of the living? And no wonder. Thinking that she had just passed by herself, she smiled and asked Dongfang Qi to come over, but the dead child ignored her and went directly into Nalan Jin's arms, and she became angry. But what can a five-year-old do.

Back then, the wandering Taoist and the master in the temple were indeed bought by her and the housekeeper, and this child was so young that he naturally couldn't remember.

After the child was sent to the temple, although the master helped to tell the lie, he refused to do anything about human life, and in the end she could only do something on the way back, causing the child to disappear.

What kind of luck is this, so that it can be found back so coincidentally.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt pain in my chest.

As soon as Shen Caiyi left, Nalan Jin simply ordered directly: "In the future, if the second lady comes over, only the little young master is there, stop me here, and don't put flies in." ”

She and Shen Caiyi have never been at odds, who knows what the purpose of her coming here is.

Nalan Jin was jealous in her heart after all.
