Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Debt Collection! _1

"Pan’er, why have you stopped eating?"

Mrs. Su-Hua chased out of the house, looking at the two in conversation, and started to speak but stopped.

"Mother, it’s fine, it must be about that old shrew again. Come, let us go in and continue eating."

As she spoke, Su Pan’er gently pushed Mrs. Su-Hua into the house.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Su-Hua never forgot to teach earnestly: "Pan’er, remember! Although that old witch is indecent in her conduct, after all, she is your mother-in-law. We should always act with a conscience and never disobey the elders. Do you understand?"

Was it merely indecent?

She even smashed the firewood room where his son and daughter-in-law who are seriously ill lived! She didn’t give anything when splitting the stove, the house was left with a few walls, and there was an extra 15 taels of silver in debt!

Such behaviour, isn’t it too much even for outsiders?

"Mother, don’t worry! I, Pan’er, know my limits in handling things,"

Su Pan’er comforted her mother with a smile on her face.

She would return kindness to those who treated her kindly, while those seeking to harm her would face tenfold retaliation!

Clear-minded love and hate had always been Su Pan’er’s creed!

Mrs. Su-Hua sighed in relief: "I’m glad you understand, dear. I worry about you. If anything were to happen to Qin Yi, your future..."

"Nothing will happen! Because..."

Sudden laughter erupted from Su Pan’er’s lips as she turned back and looked at Mrs. Su-Hua.

Gazing steadfastly at Mrs. Su-Hua, she declared, "Because, I, Su Pan’er, will not allow it!"

With her stepping in, even if Qin Yi wanted to die, it’d be difficult!

Mrs. Su-Hua froze and was about to say something when Qin Yi and Qin Yu turned around, walking towards them with particularly heavy steps.

Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow, but did not talk.

"Pan’er, your eldest brother just told me something..."

Qin Yi’s voice was filled with indescribable difficulty as he began to speak. He looked as pale as a corpse, and the man seemed on the verge of collapsing.

Qin Yu’s face wasn’t any better.

"So now you want to hide something from me? Speak!"

Su Pan’er scolded in a stern voice.

The reactions of the two were extremely awkward, as if their parents had died. Something major must have happened.

"It’s... it’s about the 15 taels of silver owed..."

Qin Yi stuttered.

"Let me tell her."

Seeing his younger brother not being able to break the news, Qin Yu’s face flushed from embarrassment, but he had no choice but to press on, "When Third Brother needed money for the doctor, we couldn’t afford it. Therefore, under Uncle Hu’s endorsement, we...we..."

Uncle Hu?

Upon hearing this name, something stirred inside Su Pan’er, but she kept it concealed: "So what did you do?"

The brothers glanced at each other, then lowered their heads in silence.

Su Pan’er was genuinely amused!

"If you don’t speak, do you think the matter will resolve itself? Lay it out!"

"When we desperately needed money, Uncle Hu endorsed us. Apart from the medical bills owed to the clinic, we borrowed an additional twelve taels of silver for emergency use. But we never expected that the money was... was usury!"

Qin Yu continuously wiped his sweat, feeling as if he could not escape that odd smile on Su Pan’er’s face.

"Hehe...so that’s what happened!"

Su Pan’er burst into laughter instantly!

She always knew that this so-called Uncle Hu would hardly be so kind-hearted, see! The fox’s tail was finally exposed, right?

"When did you borrow the usury of 12 taels of silver, at what rate, who pressed the fingerprints, how much silver needs to be repaid now? Who did you borrow it from?"

Su Pan’er started firing off questions like a machine gun.

"It’s, it’s borrowed over four months ago, at that time desperately needed a mountain ginseng to save life... Uncle Hu was the guarantor, he said there is no interest owed for borrowing from acquaintances. I was in such a hurry to get the money that, I didn’t read the terms and conditions carefully, so I hurriedly pressed the fingerprint. But... But today, the Overlord Tigers at the market fair came up with the I.O.U, saying that we have to repay ninety taels of silver, if we can’t come up with the money, they will seize people to offset the debt. I, only then understood..."

Qin Yu stuttered: "Those brothers of the Overlord Tiger are village administrators in the pond, and no one in the market fair dare to offend them easily. When I came here, he was at the Qin’s, mother said, mother said the I.O.U is here, and they are probably coming this way now..."

Village administrators are usually the subordinates who run errands for the village chief.

So that’s what happened!

"Isn’t it five percent interest for four months? How can it be ninety taels of silver?"

"It’s only a few days short of five months..."

Qin Yu’s face was ashen.

"My god! That’s ninety taels of silver! What can we do about it!"

Mrs. Su-Hua was so frightened that she went limp!

She fell to the ground crying and wailing: "That damn old shrew, she is deliberately trying to drive you to desperation! How much hatred and bitterness does she have against you! That’s a full ninety taels of silver! Even if we sold all of you, we wouldn’t be able to cobble together ninety taels of silver! Oh god, what are we going to do now..."

They are all cut throat robbers!

Isn’t there enough tragedy caused by usury every year?

Her daughter Pan’er just got married, hasn’t even had a good day yet, and she’s already facing such a tragedy, how could Mrs. Su-Hua not be heartbroken?

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yu lowered his head and tightened his lips without saying anything; Qin Yi clenched his fists, his eyes dull and soulless; blue veins throbbed on the face of Su Lao Si.

"Mother, don’t cry! There’s always a way out when you reach the end!"

Su Pan’er hurriedly comforted.

"Good! Well said, finally, there’s someone who can speak decently in Qin’s family!"

Just as Su Pan’er was consoling her mother, a voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and several thuggish-looking guys showed up in front of everyone.

Leading them was a man with a scar on his face, casually playing with a small knife in his hand and looking around.

His gaze circled around the crowd, slid over Qin Yu, who instinctively bowed his head to avoid it, then landed on Qin Yi, who stared blankly without any reaction. In the end, he fixed his gaze on Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er calmly confronted him, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, completely disregarding the knife in his hand.

"You just said, ’the sky won’t leave a man without a path to take’, I, Overlord Tiger, like that sentence! Hehe..."

The man suddenly laughed, beating his chest.

Su Pan’er sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think I care if you like what I say?"

"You..."

The Overlord Tiger apparently didn’t expect Su Pan’er to dare to challenge him. At first, he was enraged, then he laughed instead. "Oh? Really, I didn’t see this coming! Everyone says that the Su family has a foolish girl, who married the Qin family Tuberculosis Ghost. But, now it appears that the Su family’s foolish girl is not only stupid, but also insolent!"

He threw his head back and roared with laughter!

His gang behind him also followed suit, laughing heartily, encircling everyone quietly and unnoticed.

The considerable figures suddenly caused a momentary panic among the crowd. Su Ke quickly hid behind Mrs. Su-Hua, who was trembling all over, unable to muster the strength to move her feet.

"Quit the crap! I’m not in the habit of speaking with beasts!"

Su Pan’er was not affected at all. She waved her hand impatiently to disperse the crowd. "Speak your business or get out! If you piss me off, beware of me making you enter standing, and leave lying down!"

"Ha! This damn bitch, your mouth really stinks! Are you asking for death?"

The Overlord Tiger’s face darkened, he twisted his neck menacingly. "Originally, I didn’t want to trouble you seeing you were a woman, but you’re choosing to be stubborn. Don’t blame us brothers for being rude! Go on, give this little mistress some color to see, let her know how ruthless we brothers are!"
