Chapter 77: Chapter 77 We’re broke! _1

"What? Sending us to Spring Moon Court? That’s too cruel! I’d rather you just killed us..."

Mrs. Qin-Li wailed and rolled on the ground.

"Whack! Whack!..."

Overlord Tiger, who had received his orders, stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and slapped her several times.

"You old fool, I’ll show you some real color if you don’t shut up! If you keep nagging, I’ll cut off your tongue and see how you curse then!"

Hit after hit landed on Mrs. Qin-Li’s face, which quickly swelled like a steamed bun, blood spewing from her mouth.

Mrs. Qin-Li was so disoriented by the brutal onslaught that she couldn’t even tell north from south, east from west.

Lui Muyi watched in cold silence, not uttering a word.

As long as he stayed silent, Overlord Tiger’s beating wouldn’t stop.

Smack! Smack! Smack...

The sickening sound of slaps echoed repeatedly.

The Qin family exchanged fearful glances; no one dared to stand up. Qin Yi’s brow furrowed, as if he wanted to step forward, but Old Qin started to cough heavily, so he withdrew his foot and gave his father several puzzled glances.

Old Qin offered no explanation; he just stood there silently, not saying a word.

"Let go of my mother! This is my fault, if you want to hit someone, hit me!"

Qin Wan’er struggled to escape from Lui Muyi’s foot, but her efforts were useless. Overwhelmed, she burst into tears.

"Mother! Mother, it’s all my fault. I’ve brought this upon....Mother!!"

"Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon."

Liu Muyi let out a cold laugh and kicked Qin Wan’er away.

Qin Wan’er was sent rolling into a corner, straight into Mrs. Qin-Li’s side. Her mouth hit a stone step, blood flowed freely.

When she finally stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking down, she saw her loose tooth. Overcome with fright, she wept bitterly.

"My tooth! Mother, my tooth...woo woo woo...."

Su Pan’er watched with a pang of sympathy. It was a clear case of getting her just deserts!

No one invites disaster unless they invite it on their own!

Seeing all this now, she realized they had only themselves to blame!

"Crying? If crying could produce silver, go ahead! If you don’t hand over the silver, crying won’t bring you any good!"

With a fierce look, Overlord Tiger landed a few more slaps on Mrs. Qin-Li’s face.

The beating made Mrs. Qin-Li seeing stars.

"I...I don’t have... any silver..."

Mrs. Qin-Li stubbornly refused to admit defeat, her face was a mess of colors from the bruises, swelling to the size of a steamed bun with a black eye included. The pain caused her to convulse.

These thugs were skilled from years of beating people, they knew where to hit to induce the most pain without causing immediate death.

"No silver huh? Heh, okay then!"

Without another word, Overlord Tiger signaled Naughty Dog, who was enjoying the show, to step in: "Naughty Dog, go!"

"Coming! Heh heh, boss." Naughty Dog rushed up.

He had no sympathy; he grabbed Qin Wan’er’s hair and slapped her several times.

The beating made Qin Wan’er cry for her mother: "Mother! Mother... It hurts so much! I’m going to die, help me, Mother..."

That was her precious child!

This hurt Mrs. Qin-Li even more than being hit herself!

Hearing her daughter’s cries for help, Mrs. Qin-Li pleaded: "Don’t hurt my Wan’er! Wait... I... I..."

"Hold on!"

With a raise of young Master Lv’s hand, Overlord Tiger and Naughty Dog immediately ceased their actions.

He walked over a few steps, standing next to Mrs. Qin-Li; his eyes filled with stark mockery: "Tsk, tsk! What a fool! Needing a beating to listen, what a shameless wretch! Look at you, beaten and hurting, you’re still giving out the silver. Why bother? You didn’t think that when the young master said about sending you all to the Spring Moon Court that he was joking, did you?"

Did Mrs. Qin-Li still have such thoughts even now?

She immediately started kowtowing feverishly to young Master Lv: "Young Master Lv, Gentleman Lv, Master Lv, it is I who didn’t recognize the greatness before me, I’m the one who made the mistake, please spare Wan’er, spare us..."

The thudding sound of her forehead knocking the ground echoed as a dark circle started forming.

"Stop nagging! Tell me, do you want your life, or the silver?"

Not a shred of pity could be found in Young Master Lv’s gaze as he coldly bore it into her.

Mrs. Qin-Li slowly raised her head, turning to look at Qín Wan’er.

Where had Qín Wan’er ever suffered such hard times from childhood till now? Not looking was better. Upon looking, she started sobbing hysterically. Sitting down on the ground, sniveling, she was utterly heartbroken.

"Mom! Woo woo..."

Biting her teeth, Mrs. Qin-Li’s words sounded as painful as if she were ripping off her own flesh: "Fine! I...I’ll give it!"

"Can’t I give it?! Woo woo..."

Hastily, she covered her face and began to wail. She was so pained by the forthcoming loss of her silver!

Despite her distress and reluctance, Mrs. Qin-Li, swaying, went into the inner room. She slowly uncovered an old quilt and ripped off the mattress, revealing an aged bed board beneath.

After fumbling under the bed board for a while, she finally pulled out a small box. She hugged it and rubbed it repeatedly for a long time. Only then did she open it reluctantly, carefully taking out two silver ingots and a small one.

After contemplating for a while, she put back the small silver ingot, restored everything as it was, and returned the small box to its original place.

Once she was sure that everything looked normal from the outside, she shakily searched her pockets, pulling out a handful of copper coins to count. After taking a very deep breath, she managed to get up and stagger out of the room.

The instant she stepped out of the room, the attention of nearly everyone gathered on her, all eagerly eyeing her.

Qin Yu reached out to help her: "Mom..." But she was immediately brushed off by Mrs. Qin-Li.

Qín Wan’er also hurriedly ran over, looking at Mrs. Qin-Li, her face filled with anxiety!

"Mom, where’s the silver?"

"The silver...is here..."

Mrs. Qin-Li felt as if the pain of parting with the silver was worse than cutting off her own flesh; her trembling hands barely extending.

She really took out the silver!

Qin Yi involuntarily recalled the phrase that his mother had uttered with firm determination when he was seriously ill and in urgent need of money: "Our family has no money!"

His body swayed, and he felt a wave of dizziness washing over him.

Overlord Tiger’s eyes lit up immediately!

He strode forward and tried to snatch the sliver from Mrs. Qin-Li’s hand: "Quickly hand it over!"

But Mrs. Qin-Li tightly held onto it. Even a muscular man like Overlord Tiger could not pull it away from her, so he bellowed in fury!

"Let go!"

Mrs. Qin-Li’s lips turned pale, as she trembled: "No, no! This is mine, this is my silver! Mine, mine...Woo woo..."

"Not letting go, alright!"

Turning on his heels, Overlord Tiger moved towards Qín Wan’er, his hand coming down for a hard slap.

"No more hitting! I’ll give, I’ll give, is that not enough?! Woo woo woo..."

Mrs. Qin-Li quickly held up the silver with both hands.

"Hahaha, the young master is indeed wise and brave. This old hag truly refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit, a wench needing a beating to be disciplined!"

Snatching up the silver, Overlord Tiger broke into enthusiastic laughter.

The crowd of thugs all joined in the raucous laughter.
