Chapter 20 The traitor’s plan

As soon as Qin Erniu heard this, he immediately grabbed Li Manguan's collar, widened his eyes and said, "Don't lie to me here. My sister has been home for so long. She is a woman, and she takes four hundred taels of silver from you."

What!"

Li Manguan was so frightened that he staggered two steps. After all, it was because he was grabbed by the collar that he staggered to his feet.

Looking at Qin Erniu's casserole-sized fist, he felt a little guilty, but he still said bravely: "I don't know what she did with my four hundred taels of silver. Maybe it was to subsidize your poor mother's family. It's written clearly in black and white.

It’s clear, if you don’t admit it, I’m going to sue the official!”

When the shopkeeper on the side saw this situation, he secretly thought to himself that this honest man was unlucky to meet such a ghost like his boss.

He could only comfort them: "Brothers of the Qin family, please be patient. Since it is an IOU, we need to get it clear first. If we go to the official, things will be difficult to handle."

After all, Qin Daniu was more sensible. He let out a long breath, and then said to Li Manguan: "Then take out the IOU and let me see clearly. Who knows if you are fooling others."

Li Manguan spread out the IOU in his hand and held it up in front of Qin Daniu.

Although he didn't know many words, he could recognize the four hundred taels of silver and his sister's name.

Looking at the IOU at this moment, Qin Daniu couldn't take it in one breath.

Where did he find so much money?

Even if all four hundred kilograms of bear meat were sold, it would only be sixteen or two years.

Four hundred taels of silver was an astronomical figure to them, and Qin Daniu didn't know what to do for a moment.

He just trembled and said: "Four hundred taels of silver, where can I get four hundred taels of silver at once?"

Li Manguan saw that the two brothers seemed to recognize each other, and then he stroked his beard and looked at them.

"I estimate that you don't have so much money. Is that bear meat yours? Does the bear skin come with the bear meat? The complete bear skin is only worth this price. If you have it, I don't care so much. I will take the bear skin.

If you pay it back to me, the debt will be settled with interest."

Qin Daniu instantly understood that Li Manguan was here for their bearskin.

The young man running back and forth just now must be for this matter.

He looked at Qin Erniu, knowing that he could not make the decision on his own. After all, he did not hunt this bear alone.

Finally, he murmured: "I can't make the decision on my own, and I didn't open the bear alone. I, I'll go back and ask..."

Li Manguan also knew that they didn't bring bear skins, so he made a big belly look and said: "I'm not forcing you. I should have called you uncle before. Although I have several shops, it's not as difficult as before, and business is not as difficult as before."

Yeah, four hundred taels is not a small amount, isn't it? My mother-in-law is noisy all the time asking me where the money went. You quickly sell the bear meat and go back to discuss it. If this thing goes through, I will still be here waiting for you tomorrow. You

Bring the things here so that I can find a buyer and make up for the money."

At the end of the sentence, he even picked up his sleeve and touched the corners of his eyes: "It's a pity that I'm old and still have to be scolded by my tigress. Life is very difficult..."

Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu didn't know what Li Manguan said at this time. They only knew to finish processing the bear meat quickly, and then go back to discuss with their sister what to do about it.

The two asked two other restaurants, but fortunately everyone wanted it. Although there was so much bear meat, only a small portion was left unsold.

The two of them thought that this bit of bear meat was not much, so they could take it back to make bacon and eat it during the Chinese New Year.

The only thing that made them uneasy was that their sister owed four hundred taels of silver.

As they walked onto the road, neither of them said a word.

Qin Daniu suddenly said as if he remembered something: "Er Niu, you are outspoken. Today, my sister owes the Li family's name. Don't let dad know about it."

Hearing his elder brother's explanation, Qin Erniu also nodded.

My father regards wealth as his life. If he knew that his sister owed so much money, the sky would probably fall.

Qin Zhiyi, who was busy at home, had no idea what was going on.

But after dragging the adobe for a while, I saw Fei Chengsheng and his two children transferred to her house.

Seeing Fei Chengsheng coming over, she washed her muddy hands in the basin and said to him: "Since you are here, just sit down and have a sip of tea."

Xiaotao happily raised the red fruit in her hand and said, "Aniang, Aniang, look, this is a red fruit picked by uncle, please try one."

Qin Zhiyi looked at Xiao Tao and was in a good mood. Now she bent down and Xiao Tao had already stuffed the red fruit into her mouth.

"Well, it's fragrant and sweet, Xiao Tao is so good."

After speaking, he touched Xiao Tao's head and started to boil water to make tea.

The tea leaves were still raw when she brought them back, and she cooked them in an iron pot in her spare time, just so that she could drink tea when she was tired.

The iron pot boils water very quickly. Put a few handfuls of firewood in and the water is almost boiling.

Qin Zhiyi quickly took the bowl, pinched a handful of tea leaves and put it in, then took a ladle of water and poured it in. After pouring it, he put it on the stool next to him.

"You can do whatever you want. I still have some mud that I mixed, and I'll drag in a few more pieces of adobe."

Fei Chengsheng glanced around and saw that the houses were very dilapidated. Even the ruined temple he had found to live in temporarily was much better than these houses.

There are a lot of dragged soil embryos nearby, which seem to be used to build houses.

He did not go to drink tea, but bent down and planned to drag the soil embryo with Qin Zhiyi.

"No matter what, you are still a guest and a benefactor, but now you are still an injured person. If you are really free, you can just walk around and don't use this hand."

"Um."

Fei Chengsheng responded and straightened up again.

Before he could speak, Qin Daniu came rushing over in a hurry.

When Qin Zhiyi saw his eldest brother, he wiped the sweat from his head and asked, "Brother, why are you back so soon?"

They didn't dare to delay on the way, and the bullock cart was running back quickly.

As soon as he got off the car, he ran towards his sister.

Even though there was Fei Chengsheng next to him, he didn't care so much and asked directly: "Sister, let me ask you, did you borrow four hundred taels of silver from the Li family?"

When asked by Qin Daniu, Qin Zhiyi was immediately stunned.

"Why should I borrow so much money?"

Qin Daniu said: "I said so too, but Li Manguan...he said he borrowed it when you were still in the Li family. Today we met, and he took out the IOU and asked for it. If he didn't give it, he would

I want to send you to see the official."

Qin Zhiyi's face turned extremely cold: "Not to mention that I haven't seen so much money, even if I spent so much money at the Li family, it was fair and just, of course, why would I borrow money? Brother, later he was

What did you say?"

Qin Danniu La shrugged his head and said, "Later, Li Manguan said that it was okay not to pay back the money, but the bear skin must be used to pay off the debt."
