"Hu San, you .." Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, I'm not .. "I .."
Seeing that twenty taels was about to be sold to him, Old Ma was worried and hurriedly explained it to Hu San. 20 taels, what a joke ..
But...
With his hands folded across his chest, he stared at Old Ma thoughtfully. "Tsk tsk, from what you're saying, a mere twenty taels is an astronomical figure for other people. For you, Old Ma, a single twenty taels is nothing."
Not only did he not retreat at all, he even directly put the blame on Old Ma San. Hu San was not an idiot, so he naturally knew that Old Ma must have been tricked by this girl. However .. What did this have to do with him? He had come all this way just for this twenty taels of silver. As long as he took it back, he would not care who paid for it. As long as the money was in his hands, he would not care who got it in the first place ..
"You .. You... Hu San, don't go too far! "
He didn't expect Hu San to be so shameless, and immediately became angry. He didn't believe that Hu San wouldn't be able to tell that this girl was trying to trick him, but .. However, Hu San was afraid .. That's right, people like Hu San cared about money the most. As long as he could take back the silver, he would not care whose pocket the silver came from.
As for himself .. He was afraid that he really had no reason to explain it now.
"Alright, Old Ma, I'm too lazy to waste my time with you. Since I've come today, you can't let me return empty-handed."
Hu San didn't bother to hide his intentions.
Indeed, it was just as Ma Dong thought. He was indeed planning to trap him. In any case, if he were to rely on that girl for this money, then he would have to blame his own bad luck.
This little girl couldn't take out 20 taels, but Old Ma San did.
"You .. You... "Don't even think about it!" With a flushed face, Old Ma's eyes were wide open as he glared fiercely at Hu San. His entire body was trembling and he looked like an extremely vicious beast, ready to fight with his life on the line.
He stared at Hu San. If he could, he really wanted to fight this bastard to the death.
He wondered when he, Ma Laowu, had ever suffered such grievances in his entire life.
He had always been the only one to steal from others. Since when did he meet someone else who stole from him?
"Tsk tsk, brothers. It seems like Boss Ma is not going to cooperate obediently. Since that's the case, everyone should properly teach him."
Clapping his hands, Hu San pursed his lips and slowly retreated. The thugs behind him swarmed out like a swarm of bees. A dozen men surrounded Old Ma, and all of them had malicious smiles on their faces.
These people were all with Hu San. In the past, they had fought with him to rob houses, and they licked blood off their blades. After that, Hu San had washed his hands with money, and they had started a loan sharking business together with him. If they met a disobedient person, they would immediately punch him.
"Tsk tsk, Boss Ma, I advise you to obediently cooperate."
"That's right, that's right. Our big brother has a bad temper."
"We bros don't understand the seriousness of the situation. It wouldn't be good if we hurt Boss Ma."
The big guys wanted Old Ma to get closer, calling him Boss Ma, but their faces were full of cold ridicule.
They did not care about who was right or wrong. It was perfectly justified for them to repay the debts they owed, so they would do whatever their boss told them to.
Moreover, Old Ma was in the pork business, so although 20 taels of silver was not a small amount, he should be able to afford it.
"You all .. Don't push it too far. "
With his back legs in a state of panic, Old Ma's entire body trembled in anger and his face flushed red.
Although he had some money, but it was twenty taels .. That would have killed him!
"Okay, okay. "Old Ma, stop making a ruckus here, it's so noisy!" Scratching his ears, Hu San placed his hands on his chest and raised his head arrogantly. He glanced at Old Ma with a look of disdain and said, "I presume you have heard of my name before." As for me, what I hate the most is not paying my debts. I don't think your Boss Ma would do such a wicked thing, right? "
In this day and age, no one would go against the silver.
Even though he understood that Old Ma was depressed.
However, who wouldn't feel aggrieved these days? Who would feel aggrieved when they were deceived by someone else?
"You .. You... Hu San, you .. "You .."
Old Ma was in the pork business in the town, and he was also a person. Naturally, he had heard of Hu San's name before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over the moment he heard Hu San's name and was busy leading the way for him. He just wanted to establish a relationship with Hu San so that he could use him in the future. Who the hell wouldn't give face to someone like Hu San? If he could build a good relationship with him, then maybe his future would be much better.
But... However, he never thought that he would actually get pecked in the eye by a goose.
"Brothers, Boss Ma shouldn't be reluctant to return the money. Let's go home with Boss Ma to get the silver today."
He had already made up his mind. Since he would take the twenty taels from Old Ma's pocket, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Only by putting this silver in his pocket would it be safe, otherwise .. For Old Ma to be able to survive till now, he naturally wasn't someone to be trifled with. Moreover, he had the numbers advantage, so he could only hand over the silver obediently.
"You .. You... "You .." Old Ma didn't think that he would end up like this one day. He glared at Hu San and at the same time, didn't forget to look at Jiu Niang as if he was about to eat her up, "Wretched girl, I won't let you go! I won't let you off! "
He wasn't an idiot, so he naturally knew that he was tricked by this girl.
She had probably already thought about it from the moment this girl obediently let go of the Gu family's broken house ..
If .. If it was really like that, then this girl was too scary.
Old Ma glared fiercely at Jiu Niang. He had already made up his mind. Once he sent this damned Hu San away, he would see how he would deal with this girl.
"Alright, Boss Ma, let's go!"
The corner of his mouth twitched. He naturally understood Old Ma's look. He was afraid that this girl had plotted against Old Ma and wouldn't have any good days ahead of her.
However ..
Hehe, what does all this have to do with me?
"Girl, this .." "This .."
The Old Widow trembled as she held onto Jiu Niang's hand, her eyes filled with panic.
Although she was old and dizzy, she could clearly see the hatred on Old Ma's face.
Even though she still couldn't figure out what exactly happened in the process, wasn't Old Ma San leading the way for Hu San? Why did Hu San let Jiu Niang go instead, asking Old Ma for money. But... However, she was very clear on what kind of person Old Ma was. She was afraid that if she offended him today, he definitely wouldn't let her off.
"Grandma, it's okay!"
Jiu Niang shook her head and carefully helped the old widow up. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile.
She wasn't afraid of Old Ma, but .. It seemed that there were some things that needed to be prepared for.
At first, he thought he could do it again, but now ..
"Grandma, I'll take you home first."
After taking in a deep breath, Nona lowered her head and a trace of helplessness flashed through her eyes. She carefully supported the old widow into the room.
The people who were watching the show began to disperse one after another.
"Old Ma, your father will just say this today. You'd better obediently hand over the silver, or else .."
With a dark face, Hu San scolded in a low voice.
Tsk tsk, as expected of someone who came from the outside. I didn't expect Ma Laowu to react so quickly.
Not only were they unwilling to give him the money, they even started arguing with him.
"Hu San, don't scare me. I, Old Ma, am not scared either." You want money? Fine, take out the IOU. As long as you take it out, I will return double the amount to you if I, Old Ma, borrow money. "
Old Ma was truly confused when he saw so many people outside.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
Hu San had asked him to return the money, and it was twenty taels at that.
You should at least have a promissory note to return the money, right? He didn't have a promissory note, yet he actually wanted to repay the money because it was beautiful.
"If you, Hu San, can't bring out the IOU today, then don't blame me for not giving you face." You, Hu San, know quite a few people outside, and I, Old Ma, am not just casually bullied. "
Old Ma bit on the IOU and refused to let go. Without the IOU, he would not return the money.
To put it bluntly, Hu San was originally a desperate person who did not care about his life. If he pissed him off, then even Old Ma would not be confident. But... But twenty taels of silver was not a small sum ..
"Good, good, good! Old Ma, you son of a bitch! I have really underestimated you." I really didn't know that you're a tough nut, I really didn't! "
He was so angry that he laughed instead. Why did Hu San think that he had brought over ten brothers? With just a casual scare, Old Ma San would obediently hand over the silver without saying a word.
He just didn't expect him to be so unafraid of death.
"Humph!" I, Old Ma, didn't get my silver out of the wind. It wasn't easy for everyone to live outside. I, Old Ma, have also heard of your name, Third Master Hu. "You should know that your father has been cheated by that girl. This is two taels of silver. If the Third Master of the Hu Clan doesn't mind, I will treat it as giving my brothers some tea!"
Even though he was unwilling, Old Ma took out two taels of silver and passed it over to Hu San with a pained expression.
He, Old Ma, had always been a stingy person. He was the only one looking for someone else, and no one else had ever looked for him.
But... But he didn't expect that this time ..
However .. However, now that things had come to this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to avoid it.
"Tsk tsk, two taels of silver .." "Hehe, looks like Boss Ma is treating me, Hu, as a beggar who has come to beg for a favor."
Weighing the two taels of silver in his hand, the corner of Hu San's mouth curled up into a sneer. He stared coldly at Old Ma and said, "However, since Boss Ma has said so, we will wait and see."
After receiving the silver, a trace of anger flashed across Hu San's eyes. He waved his hand and signaled his brothers to leave.
"I'm giving Boss Ma some face today, but .." "If I, Hu, meet you in the future, I can only say that I'm sorry."
Even though he was arrogant, he did not dare to act too recklessly. What if the one who caused him trouble was him, and the one who did not have any proof of bad luck would be him. If it was before .. He was sure that he had taken care of everything without saying a word ..
But now it was different. He wanted to live a quiet life.
Isn't this Old Ma a businessman? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Master Hu, I have something to talk to you about."
Hu San walked out of Old Ma's house with a dark expression. Just as he walked out for a short distance, he was stopped by someone.
Seeing the person in front of him, Hu San's face immediately darkened. "Humph! I thought it was you! "What? Aren't you afraid that I, Hu San, will kill you?"
