A man in Tsing Yi hurriedly walked out of the crowd, frowning and saying to Hu Batian, "Lord Hu, wait." ”

Hu Batian was stopped, turned his head to look, and found that it was just a strange man, and said with a displeased expression, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing his fierce expression, the man was nervous for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Master Hu, this Liu Dongjia may not be able to get the silver at hand, if you cut him off, how can he run the restaurant." It is better for you to give him some grace, and when he has earned money, he will surely pay off the debt. ”

Watching the lively crowd, they didn't expect that Hu Batian would disagree with him, so he would follow the class and persuade him.

"Yes, Master Hu, give Liu Dongjia a little more time, he is not a person who will repay his debts. Presumably, if you make money, you will pay off your debts as soon as possible. ”

"Master Hu, everyone has had a difficult time, Liu Dong's restaurant is just a temporary poor operation, but his family's cooking skills are still good, and when the business improves after a while, there will definitely be money coming in."

"Yes, yes, Liu Dongjia owes so much silver, presumably to borrow money to buy some good ingredients. He also has good intentions, and he wants to let the guests who come to the restaurant eat delicious dishes, not because he deliberately fails to repay the debt. ”

……

These people who stood up to persuade him were Liu Dongluo's neighbors, and they couldn't bear it when they saw him being persecuted by Hu Batian.

Ling Chu was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this Liu Dong's popularity was not bad.

A few years ago, Liu Dongluo came to Kyoto to open a small restaurant, at first because he was not famous, there were few customers, and the business was not very good, he often gave the remaining ingredients to the neighbors, so he won a lot of praise from the neighbors.

Later, the business of the restaurant gradually opened, and the food cooked by the chef was delicious and affordable, and the business gradually improved. Although he later gave few leftover ingredients to his neighbors, he would pick out some of the leftover meals from his guests and give them to nearby beggars.

Even some of the dishes that the guests had only touched a few chopsticks were, he would carefully select them and give them to the lonely old people who had no children and no daughters.

Therefore, this Liu Dongluo has a really good reputation in this neighborhood, and those who have received his favor see that he is persecuted, and they all stand up and want to help him out of the siege.

After hearing this for a while, Ling Chu also thought that the Liu Dong family owed so much debt because the restaurant was not operating well, so he borrowed money for turnover.

Unexpectedly, Hu Batian listened to everyone's words, but sneered, "What do you borrow money to buy ingredients, you know a fart!" The reason why Liu Dongluo owes so much money is because he was red-eyed in the gambling house, and he borrowed money from the gambling house and wanted to turn over the book, but he didn't expect that he had bad luck and lost everything. ”

As soon as Hu Batian's words came out, the onlookers couldn't help but talk about it, even the neighbors who stood up to solve the siege changed color, and no one thought that Liu Dongjia would borrow money to gamble.

That Liu Dongluo was originally happy when he saw those neighbors standing up to help him break the siege, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Hu Batian.

Seeing that the neighbors who had relieved the siege shrank back, Liu Dongluo was angry in his heart, regretting that the benefits he had given him were all in vain.

Without anyone to stop him, Hu Batian once again let his subordinates do it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a woman squeezed in from outside the crowd and cried to Hu Batian, "Lord Hu, please, don't hurt my husband......

When Hu Batian was stopped, he instinctively wanted to get angry, but when he saw the woman in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Unexpectedly, although Liu Dongluo's wife cried miserably, she was a woman with charm.

Hu Batian's squinting eyes stared at Ge's fair and full face several times, and then looked her figure up and down again, and then turned his head to Liu Dongluo.

"Liu Dongjia, since you can't take out the silver, then I'll give you another chance. If you agree to let your wife accompany the Tao steward, I can ask him to give you a period of grace for a while, and then pay off the debt when you have raised enough money. ”

When Ge heard this, he was angry and angry.

Although she was a little scared, thinking that she was a wife and not a cheap concubine who could be bought and sold at will, her husband should not agree with Hu Batian's words.

However, what she didn't expect was that her husband was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, and turned his head to Hu Batiandao, "Master Hu, since you have fallen in love with the Ge family, it is her creation."

People can take it away from you, but I really can't take out that much money if you owe some of the money you owe. ”

As soon as Liu Dongluo's words came out, the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

Ge's body was shaky, his face full of disbelief, "Husband, you...... How can you agree? ”

Although Liu Dongluo glanced back at her, he quickly looked away.

lowered his head and cried with a sad face, "The child is her mother, I can't help it, you know, there is no money at home." ”

There is an aunt who has received the favor of the Ge family, and I can't bear to see her end up like this. boldly persuaded Ge Shi, "Xiangju Niang, don't hurry up and find out your family's money, if you are taken away, how will you ......live?"

Thinking of the fate of being taken away, Ge Shi beat a spirit, and said to Hu Batian with a white face, "Lord Hu, I have silver, you wait, I'll give it to you......"

Ge threw down his words and stumbled into the room.

Liu Dongluo opened his mouth and wanted to call her to stop, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he closed it again.

Hu Batian frowned, but did not open his mouth to stop him.

If Ge could hand over the money, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Ling Chu was relieved to see Ge Shi enter the bedroom to get the silver.

Although she originally came here to look for hidden silver and get a reward. But in the end, I can't bear to see Ge's end miserable.

Everyone was waiting for Ge Shi to take out the silver, who knew that she entered the house, but soon came out with a white face, "Husband, what about the silver taels at the bottom of my box?" ”

Liu Dongluo glanced up at her and said slowly, "It's gone." ”

Ge's body shook, and his bloodless face turned two points whiter, "Then, what about my dowry......

Liu Dongluo was silent, and only said after a while, "It's gone, I sold it." ”

Ge didn't see the silver and dowry in the house, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Liu Dongluo's words shattered her last bit of luck.

Ge didn't expect that she was just going out to visit relatives for a few days, and when she came back, the family changed. The husband owes a large amount of debt, not to mention that her money is gone, and even the dowry is gone.

Hu Batian glanced at Liu Dongluo dissatisfied, "Since there is no silver, then I can only take people away." I can give you a few more days, but if I come next time and you still can't pay the money, it's not as simple as cutting off a hand. ”

Liu Dongluo was submissive, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to resist for a while.

Hu Batian ignored him anymore, waved his hand and motioned for his followers to escort Ge away.

Ge slumped to the ground, at a loss.

At this moment, a girl squeezed in from the crowd and rushed towards Ge Shi with a panicked expression, "Don't take my mother away." ”
