Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Mysterious New Year’s Debt Collection (2)_1

As soon as Mo Qingze heard this, he did not doubt: "Hmm, that is possible! However, one should not expect something in return for showing kindness. At that time, Sir Xiao had already given quite a bit of thank-you silver, and he had saved you before; so he owes our family nothing. These gifts are too valuable over the years, we cannot accept them."

Mo Yan could not guess the real intention of Xiao Ruiyuan’s New Year gifts and had no choice but to say, "Sir Xiao is currently at the border fighting enemies, and we don’t even know where his home is. It might be better to store these things properly and return them when the opportunity arises in the future."

Mo Qingze nodded in agreement, "Let’s do as Yanyan suggested. I will instruct others to not touch these items."

As they spoke, together they put aside the medicinal herbs and books, to prevent them from getting damp and moldy during the rainy spring season.

Looking at the pile of medicinal herbs that was more than a person tall, Mo Qingze couldn’t help but sigh again. Without giving it much thought, he had always assumed these items were simply New Year and thank-you gifts from someone. It wasn’t until his daughter was carried away by someone that he realized what was going on, and he felt so depressed that he almost wanted to chase away the triumphant person with a rolling pin...

After locking the storeroom door, father and daughter were about to go to the front when Li Yan hurried over, saying anxiously, "Uncle Mo, Sister Yan, the Tang Family has brought a bunch of people and stormed into our house. Right now, they are in the hall, pressing Tang Xin for silver!"

The father and daughter exchanged a look, their expressions darkening simultaneously as they walked toward the hall while asking Li Yan about the situation.

Li Yan, with her nimble tongue, quickly explained the gist of the matter.

As it turned out, the Tang Family had previously borrowed a loan with interest and had yet to repay it, and today was the deadline. The lender came to the Tang Family’s house demanding silver. The Tang Family had originally sold Tang Xin and got ten taels of silver, which should have been enough to pay off the debt. However, for some reason, not only did the Tang Family fail to use the silver, but they also brought those people to Mo Family’s house to demand silver from Tang Xin.

After listening, the father and daughter’s expressions grew uglier. It was not so much asking Tang Xin for silver; it was more like asking the Mo Family. Officially, Tang Xin was a servant of the Mo Family; how could she possibly have silver to repay debts!

"You despicable girl, even if your mother sells you, your father is still your father! If he hadn’t given birth to you and raised you, could you have grown so big, could you have fallen into the Mo Family’s blessed nest to enjoy good fortune? Your mother knows you don’t have the silver, but the Mo Family does. All you need to do is ask them, would the Mo Family have the heart to not give it to you?"

Before the three of them could enter the hall, they heard Mrs. Yu Tang forcing Tang Xin, and immediately exploded with rage. Mo Yan pushed open the back door with a clang, startling everyone in the room to look over.

"Who is the blind one that... *hic*—"

Mrs. Yu Tang herself got a fright, her mouth opened to curse, but when she saw the father and daughter of the Mo Family walk in with stern faces, her voice suddenly got stuck in her throat, and she ended up belching loudly.

Mo Yan frowned slightly, glancing over Mrs. Yu Tang’s direction. Well, the entire Tang Family had made an appearance, and not only that, but there was also a skinny figure cracking sunflower seeds and enjoying the show seated on a chair. Behind him stood four or five very robust men, who appeared quite intimidating.

No wonder the Tang Family dared to bring people to their own home; they were probably intent on either extracting payment or directly resorting to robbery by force.

Thinking this, she coldly eyed Mrs. Yu Tang and stood by Tang Xin’s side, without the slightest intention of paying her any heed.

Mrs. Yu Tang, feeling guilty, shrank back unconsciously under that stare. Just as she was about to coax with a smile, Mo Qingze interrupted her with his voice.

"A debt has a debtor, a wrong a perpetrator. Since the loan was taken from you by the Tang Family, you should be seeking the Tang Family! The Mo Family has no kinship nor obligations with the Tang Family, and there is absolutely no reason for us to repay their debts. Please leave our home," Mo Qingze spoke, ignoring the unreasonable Mrs. Yu Tang and addressing the skinny individual directly.
