I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 30: Selling Wife and Daughter

 A man in green clothes hurriedly walked out of the crowd, frowned and said to Hu Batian, "Master Hu, wait a minute."

Hu Batian was stopped by someone. He turned around and saw that he was just a strange man. He asked with an unhappy expression, "What's the matter?"

Seeing his fierce expression, the man felt nervous for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu's family may be short of money and can't come up with money. If you chop off his hand, how can he run the restaurant? It's better than you Give him some time, and when he earns money, he will surely repay his debt."

The crowd watching the excitement did not expect that Hu Batian would have his hands cut off if he disagreed with him, and they all tried to stop him.

"Yes, Mr. Hu, give Mr. Liu a little more time. He is not someone who will default on his debts. He must have made money and will pay off the debt as soon as possible."

“Mr. Hu, everyone has had difficult times. Liu Dong’s restaurant is just not doing well for a while, but his family’s cooking skills are still good. When the business improves after a while, there will definitely be money coming in."

"Yes, yes, yes. The reason why Mr. Liu's family owes so much money is to borrow money to buy some good ingredients. He also has good intentions. He wants to let the guests who come to the restaurant eat delicious dishes. He is not deliberately not paying back the debt."

 …

These people who stood up to dissuade him were all Liu Dongluo's neighbors. They couldn't bear to see him being persecuted by Hu Batian.

Lingchu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Dong's family was quite popular.

 Liu Dongluo came to Kyoto to open a small restaurant a few years ago. At first, because it was not well-known and had few customers, the business was not very good. He often donated the remaining ingredients to his neighbors, which earned him a lot of praise from his neighbors.

Later on, the restaurant business slowly opened up. The food cooked by the chef tasted good and the price was affordable, and the business gradually improved. Although there was rarely any leftover food to give to neighbors later, he would pick out the leftover meals from some guests and give them to nearby beggars.

Even if some guests only touched the food with a few chopsticks, he would carefully select it and give it to the lonely old people without children.

 Therefore, Liu Dongluo had a really good reputation around here. Those who had received his favor saw that he was being persecuted, and they all came forward to help him out.

After listening to this for a while, Ling Chu also thought that Liu Dong's family owed so much debt because the restaurant was not running well, so they borrowed money for turnover.

Unexpectedly, Hu Batian listened to everyone's words, but sneered, "You know nothing about borrowing money to buy food! The reason why Liu Dongluo owes so much money is because he got jealous at the gambling house and borrowed it from the gambling house. I wanted to make money back, but I was unlucky and lost everything.”

As soon as Hu Batian said this, the onlookers couldn't help but talk. Even the neighbors who stood up to relieve the situation changed their colors. No one thought that Liu Dong's family actually borrowed money to gamble.

Liu Dongluo was originally happy when he saw those neighbors standing up to help him out, but he didn't expect that Hu Batian would expose him.

Seeing the neighbors who had come to the rescue retreat, Liu Dongluo felt angry and regretted that all the benefits he had given him were in vain.

With no one to stop him, Hu Batian let his men take action again.

Unexpectedly, a woman squeezed in from outside the crowd and cried to Hu Batian, "Master 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 lit up.

 Unexpectedly, although Liu Dongluo's wife cried miserably, she was still a charming woman.

 Hu Batian's narrowed eyes stared at Ge's fair and plump face for several times, and then looked her up and down, and then turned to Liu Dongluo.

"Liu Dongjia, since you can't come up with the money, then I will give you another chance. If you agree to let your wife accompany Tao Guanshi, I can ask him to give you a period of grace. When enough money is raised, we can How about paying off the debt?"

Hearing this, Ge Shi was angry and angry.

Although she was a little scared, considering that she was a wife after all, and not a concubine who could be bought and sold at will, her husband would 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, then turned to Hu Batian and said, "Master Hu, since you have fallen in love with Ge Shi, it is her fate.

People can take it away for you, but can you offset some of the money you owe? I really can't afford that much money. " As soon as Liu Dongluo said these words, the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into an uproar.

Ge Shi'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.

He lowered his head and said with a sad face, "I can't help the child's mother. As you know, the family has no money."

There was an aunt who had been favored by Gurdjieff, and I really couldn't bear to see her end up like this. He bravely advised Ge Shi, "Xiangju Niang, if you don't find your money quickly, how will you survive if it is taken away..."

Thinking of what would happen if he was taken away, Ge Shi was startled and said to Hu Batian with a white face, "Master Hu, I have money. Just wait, I will give it to you..."

 Gege dropped his words and stumbled into the house.

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

Hu Batian frowned, but did not speak to stop him.

If Ge Shi could hand over the money, he would not want to make the matter a big deal.

Ling Chu felt relieved when he saw Ge entering the dormitory to get some money.

 Although she originally came here to look for hidden silver and get rewards. But after all, I couldn't bear to see Ge family meet a tragic end.

Everyone was waiting for Ge to take out the silver. Unexpectedly, she entered the room, but soon came out with a pale face, "Husband, where are the silver coins I packed at the bottom of the box?"

Liu Dongluo looked up at her and said slowly, "No more."

Ge Shi's body swayed, and his already bloodless face turned even whiter. "Well, where are my dowry..."

Liu Dongluo was silent for a while and then said, "It's gone, I sold it."

Geshi didn't see any money or dowry in the house, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

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

Geshi did not expect that she was only away for a few days to visit relatives, but when she came back, everything in her home would change. Her husband owed a large amount of debt, and her suitcase of money was gone, and even her dowry was not left at all.

Hu Batian glanced at Liu Dongluo dissatisfied, "Since there is no money, I can only take the person away. I can give you a few more days of grace, but if I come next time and you still can't hand over the money, not only It’s so easy to cut off a hand.”

Liu Dongluo was obedient. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to resist.

Hu Batian ignored him and waved to his followers to **** Ge Shi away.

 Georgi collapsed on the ground, at a loss.

At this moment, a girl squeezed in from the crowd and rushed towards Ge in a panic, "You are not allowed to take my mother away."
