Chapter 9 Asking for money

Chapter 9 Asking for money

Wang Tuozi is here.

He was just outside the courtyard gate, with several village gangsters standing behind him.

Crunch…

Chu Liang pushed open the courtyard door, without much expression on his face, and took a few casual glances.

"What's going on with you guys?" he asked calmly.

"Brother Liang, it's like this, hehe... Look, should you pay back the money you borrowed from our brothers before?"

"Oh? I borrowed money from you guys?"

Chu Liang looked calm, and as expected, these village gangsters couldn't help it.

Wang Tuozi rubbed his hands and laughed twice. The wrinkles on his face were extremely ugly.

"Brother Liang, have you forgotten?"

He clapped his fingers and said, "Brother Liang, you borrowed five taels of silver from us two months ago, and you agreed to pay it back today."

"Yes, yes, brother Liang, five taels of silver is not a small amount of money." Another village gangster said.

"Brother Liang, our brothers don't charge you interest, we just want your capital back."

"Conscience enough?"

Several village gangsters spoke one after another.

While they were talking, they all took a small step forward and suddenly blocked the entrance to Chu Liang's courtyard, with a greedy smile on everyone's face.

Five taels of silver, this was their guess of Chu Liang's net worth.

"Brother Liang, the time has come, you can't default on your debt!"

Wang Tuozi laughed twice, which was very ugly, and rubbed his fingers at Chu Liang.

"If you can't get it out, the brothers will have to live in your house."

There was already a hint of threat in this tone.

Behind him, several younger brothers held weapons such as sticks and forks in their hands.

At this time, the second uncle's voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Wang Tuozi, what are you doing?"

The second uncle looked ugly and glared at the gangsters at the entrance of the courtyard.

Wang Tuozi turned around with a smile and said loudly: "Chu Erniu, your eldest nephew Chu Liang owes me five taels of silver. He promised to pay it back today, but now the sun has set and he hasn't made any move. You said I want to pay him back?" What are you doing? Of course you’re asking for debt!”

"You fart!"

The second uncle cursed angrily.

How could Chu Liang borrow money from these village gangsters?

If you think about this a little bit, you can understand what's going on!

These village gangsters clearly saw Chu Liang's health and were eyeing Chu Liang's wealth!

When he thought of this, the second uncle said angrily: "Get out of here, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Wang Tuozi raised his head and asked: "Chu Erniu, do you want to help your eldest nephew pay off his debt? If you can take it out, we brothers will leave immediately."

"you……"

The second uncle's tone hesitated. How could he get five taels of silver?

He wanted to drive away these village gangsters, but he was alone and weak, and there was really nothing he could do against them.

"Chu Erniu, how many children in your family are still young?"

Wang Tuozi laughed sinisterly, pointed to the yard behind his second uncle and said, "You have to take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, your children will be without a father!"

"You...bastard!"

The second uncle was anxious and angry when he heard this.

Wang Tuozi did not hide the threat in his words at all. He and the few village gangsters under him were extremely insidious and had done many vicious things on a daily basis.

"It takes advantage of the crowd, right?" The second uncle gritted his teeth and turned around and shouted: "Fourth, fifth, you all come out, these ruffians are going to attack Ah Liang! Ah Shan, you come out too!"

He is indeed no match for these village gangsters, but the Chu family is a family after all.

The yard of Chu Siniu and Wu Niu is right next to it.

Their oldest children are all thirteen or fourteen years old.

All told, there are quite a few boys in the Chu family, but many of them have not grown up yet.

Soon, Chu Shan ran out carrying a pitchfork.

He held the pitchfork tightly, ran to his second uncle, and shouted: "Dad."

"Ah Shan, these bastards want to bully your elder brother, today is the time for you to repay your elder brother!"

"Dad, I understand!"

Chu Shan nodded seriously, stared at Wang Tuozi and others, and held the pitchfork tighter.

Seeing this, Wang Tuozi's face suddenly darkened.

If all the relatives of the Chu family came out, then he...he really couldn't handle it and could only leave temporarily.

The other village gangsters didn't have much confidence anymore. They looked at each other a few times and thought of leaving.

But soon, they discovered that there was no movement at all in the courtyard of Chu Siniu and Wuniu. It seemed that neither family was at home, and it seemed that they had not heard their second uncle's call.

The second uncle was a little anxious and shouted a few more times: "Fourth! Fifth! Can you hear me? You all come out!"

His urgent voice echoed through the village.

No one responded, there was silence.

Chu Liang stood by the door with an expressionless face and cold eyes as he glanced at the courtyard of his fourth uncle and his fifth uncle's family.

At this time, Fourth Uncle and others naturally heard it, but they were hesitant.

The fourth aunt lowered her voice and said, "Master, those Wang Tuozi guys are not easy to mess with. If you rush out, you can drive them away this time, but what about later? They will definitely hate you in the future."

"I know."

The fourth uncle looked troubled and said in a low voice: "But they are eyeing A-Liang's money. Think about it...when A-Liang dies, won't his money be our money?"

"Yes, it's all our money! It's all the fault of this boy A Liang, why doesn't he die sooner?"

As soon as she heard the word money, the fourth aunt became anxious, as if there were ants crawling in her heart.

She couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are we going to do?"

"wait!"

The fourth uncle turned his head and glanced in the direction of Chu Wuniu's yard.

"If Lao Wu goes out, we will go out!"

"good."

The fourth aunt nodded.

As everyone knows, a similar conversation also occurred in Chu Wuniu's family.

"Wait for fourth brother, if fourth brother goes out, we will go out!"

Both sides are waiting for the other to go out first.

This is a long wait.

No matter how the second uncle shouted, there was no movement from both families.

Finally, the second uncle stopped shouting. He sighed tiredly, his face was full of disappointment, and he seemed to have aged several years for a moment.

Wang Tuozi and others seemed to be watching a show, and everyone kept laughing.

"Tsk, these relatives of the Chu family..."

It can only be regarded as Chu Liang's misfortune to have such a relative.

Not only did they think so, but Zhao Hu and others who were watching from a distance also thought so.

Zhao Hu knew very well that Chu Liang had given many good things to the relatives of the Chu family over the years.

"A Liang is also unlucky to meet this bunch of rubbish relatives."

Although he didn't like Chu Liang from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Hu had to sigh for Chu Liang at this moment.

He turned to his younger brothers and said, "Get ready. When Wang Tuozi and the others start making trouble at A Liang's house, we will go there."

At this moment, Chu Liang seemed to be holding up the fish on the chopping board.

There are village gangsters like Wang Tuozi in front, and Zhao Hu and others in the back.

The second uncle's shout just now attracted many villagers, and many people have noticed the situation at the entrance of Chu Liang's yard.

As soon as they saw it was Wang Tuozi and others, the other villagers immediately understood what was going on.

"Wang Tuozi is so courageous. He actually dares to block A Liang's courtyard gate?"

"A-Liang is seriously injured now. He is no longer the A-Liang he used to be. You see, his face is so pale, he looks like a dead person..."

Hearing the comments from the people around him, the smile on Wang Tuozi's face became more wanton.

Yes, he dared to block Chu Liang's door now.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to think about it!

He looked at the others around him triumphantly, then turned his head and said to Chu Liang with his head held high: "Five taels of silver, just for today. If it's less... uh... uh uh..."

Before he could say anything, his expression suddenly changed and became more frightened.

The always strong hands strangled his neck!

Chu Liang looked calm, grabbed Wang Tuozi's neck, and slowly lifted him up.
