The hall of the ancestral house of the Su family is very large, which was specially built by Su Youshun in order to accommodate the children and grandchildren of the Su family in the past, and he really wanted to see the descendants of the Su family chatting and laughing here. Now the hall is finally full of people, but the atmosphere inside is tense.

A large number of debtors confronted the Su family, all of them hostile, and some of them had hatred in their eyes.

The Su family was stunned, and after looking at each other, Su Youtai was pushed out, "Neighbors, forgive Youtai for being ignorant, what happened?" ”

"Come on! Second Master Su, everyone understands people, so don't pretend to be crazy and stupid! The thug who was crowded at the front of the crowd said impatiently, "My brothers and I blocked the Su Clan's Comptoir Gate for you for five days, should you pay now?" The thugs lifted their sleeves to reveal their strong muscles, and Su Youkang was so frightened that he hid behind Old Madam Su.

The gangster smiled evilly, "Second Master Su, my brothers and I don't have long fists, if you don't give the silver today, don't blame us for not knowing the severity of our actions!" ”

"This good man, don't be angry yet!" Su Youtai was also panicked, but the eldest brother didn't use it, and he had to stand up to the front to support the family, "Didn't we say it." Shall I give you fifty taels of silver first, and then fifty taels when the matter is done? I have already given you the previous deposit. Isn't it time to pay the balance yet? ”

"Fifty taels? Second Master Su, you should be called Hanako! The gangster leader spat at Su Youtai unobtrusively, "You haven't made a lot of money from Su's firm over the years, right?" Fifty taels is not enough for our brothers to pay for two meals! ”

"Good man, the Su family firm is now in charge of my niece's daughter. You know, my niece is a cold-blooded and ruthless lord who doesn't recognize her six relatives, and she doesn't give us any money at all."

"Miss Su's six relatives don't recognize? If she hadn't been driven to death by your so-called relatives, would she have cut ties with you? You spread rumors, forced Mrs. Su and Young Master Su to death, hired us to block the door of the store, and prevented her from doing business, everything is that you forced Miss Su and Miss Su Er to a dead end, and I haven't seen her do anything unfavorable to you! The thug interrupted Su Youtai's words, "You still say in front of so many people that Miss Su's six relatives don't recognize it, it's really vicious!" ”

Su Youtai was a little annoyed when a gangster with a bad character said that he was vicious, but the other party was overwhelmed, and there were people who were usually familiar with the Su family, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. "This good man, if you ask me to pay the money now, I really can't take it out. I wonder if I can delay it for a few days? ”

This group of people are all here to ask for money, and if they open the money bag, they really can't keep a penny. So no matter how much humiliation he received, Su Youtai could only swallow his anger. In short, let's fool the things of the day first.

"Don't talk nonsense, not a day!" The thugs didn't care so much, they picked up a stool and smashed it on the ground, "You let the Su family firm close, so we can't even eat a full meal now." How can we suffer and you huddle in the house and be happy! Dig up the money! ”

"Yes, Second Master Su, give the tea money quickly! We won't be in your business anymore! ”

"Give the food money! We're not going to sell you food anymore!"

………

The sound of debt collection came and went, which shook the ears of the Su family to the point of auditory hallucinations.

The words of the gangsters poked the heart of the debt, it was all the Su family who was a demon, and they forced the Su family to close down. The shops of the Su family business bank almost occupy more than half of Quzhou City, and their closure has led to a shortage of goods and soaring prices.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Mrs. Su resorted to her old trick - pretending to be dizzy. It's just that the eyes of the comers are not on her at all, they either smash things, or move valuable things to pay off debts. In short, the anger of venting anger, and the loss of making up for losses, soon ransacked the Su family.

"Don't....don't... Stop it! Stop y'all! Su Youtai pleaded with tears, but no one heard him.

Looking at the house that had become a mess, Su Youtai collapsed on the ground, "Oh my God, what kind of sin have I created!" ”

Su Nianjin sat in front of the mourning hall and listened to the report of the subordinates on the situation of the ancestral house of the Su Mansion, "Big brother, did you hear that?" What happened to the people in the ancestral house, are you satisfied? ”

Su Nianjin sighed deeply, "Maybe I should have done this a long time ago..."

"Sister!" Su Nianhao stretched out his hand to hold Su Nianjin's hand, as if he was comforting her.

"Little fool, I'm fine!" Su Nianjin smiled at Su Nianhao. Maybe it was because he didn't get the love of his mother since he was a child, or maybe the eldest brother had always made him jealous, but their departure did not make Su Nianjin overly sad and collapsed.

Life always has to be passed, whether there are them or not, Su Nianjin wants to live a good life.

"Miss, Lord Chen is here!"

"Lord Chen?" Su Nianjin stood up in some shock, "Come to the living room!" Su Nianjin was a little flustered, how could Lord Chen come to the house?

"No, I'll meet it myself!" Su Nianjin handed Su Nianhao to Wan Xiang, "Take the second young master to rest first, don't let him come out without my instructions." "Lord Chen doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse when he arrives at the mansion, Su Nianjin is thinking about the purpose of Lord Chen's coming to the mansion, isn't it that he has gone too far recently?

Su Nianjin didn't take a few steps, and Master Chen walked up to Su Nianjin.

"Folk girl Su Nianjin, please say hello to the magistrate!"

"Miss Su, please get up," Lord Chen's attitude was very friendly, "Today I came to the house for private matters, you don't have to be formal!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Su Nianjin straightened up in some surprise, and Lord Chen's attitude surprised her. "Lord Chen, the living room is here, please!"

"In front of it is the mourning hall of Mother Ling and Brother Ling, right? Go and put incense on them! ”

Su Nianjin lowered her eyes to hide her stunnedness, the Su family and the magistrate don't have such a deep friendship, right? "Please!"

Lord Chen followed behind Su Nianjin, paying attention to her every move. This Su Nianjin is generous, calm, and has a sense of nobility, not like a woman raised by a merchant.

After Lord Chen finished the incense, Su Nianjin invited him to the side hall, "I hope that Lord Chen will forgive Nianjin for his neglect and let you sit in such a simple room." ”

"Miss Su is too worried, and the official doesn't think it's bad here."
