Chapter 24 - Betting Debt
Mo Zhi Yuan's face was a little ugly as he stood at the side like a wooden block. He did not say anything, but looking at his own mother spouting nonsense on the ground, he felt that he had lost a lot of face.
”Aunt, you touched your conscience and said that our family doesn't owe you anything. The money and things you took from our family were enough to support your family. Even if I didn't give you anything recently, you guys have already taken the prey I hunted a while ago. With so much meat, it should be worth at least three taels of silver, right? Is three taels of silver not enough for you to spend in a month? ” Mo Lin Yu said angrily.
After Yao Gui Hua heard this, she started to argue shamelessly, and said, ”You little ingrate, stop spouting nonsense, your family is so poor, how can you possibly have three taels of silver for me to take?”
More and more people started to gather at the gate of the courtyard, all of them were just here to watch the show. Yao Gui Hua normally did not have much of a personality, so many people did not believe what she had said. On the contrary, she believed even more in what Mo Lin Yu said, pointing at him and talking about everything he said.
For the sake of his own daughter, Yao Gui Hua had no choice but to give up for now. He wholeheartedly wanted to marry his daughter into a rich family, and if news of this spread around the village, it would be bad.
”Who's the ingrate? I know who's the one, right Auntie?” Mo Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Yao Gui Hua said fiercely: ”I won't bother with you guys today, I'll deal with you guys another day.”
”Zhiyuan, let's go.”
The two of them left in a huff, and the people who were watching outside also dispersed.
Before Yao Gui Hua could even catch her breath, she sobbed: ”Mother, if we don't get the silver anymore, I'm done for, don't tell me you want to see me beaten to death by those people?”
Normally, Mo Zhi Yuan loved to gamble when he was free, but this time was different. He owed more than 10 taels of silver to the people outside, but his family did not even have 10 taels of silver. That was why he had thought of this. Every time he asked for money, he would use two old men as a cover to get a lot of benefits.
