Chen Laoqi has always made a living by shipping. This time he borrowed money to buy a motorized sailboat equipped with a motor for shipping. But he was unlucky. It took less than three months to get the boat. As a result, even the boat and its crew were injured.

It was destroyed.

He had many creditors, including Fan Chenggui's family.

Now, Chen Laoqi and his only son are dead, the boat is gone, and the family members are sick and stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye will understand at a glance that this debt will never be repaid in the future.

No, after hearing this, Fan Chenggui quickly sent his second son to come to collect the debt, fearing that he would be late and not even be able to get a broken broom.

Behind Fan Mingzhong were several servants of the Fan family.

Standing in front of Fan Mingzhong was a Western-style woman of similar age to him. She was of natural beauty and looked very decent and noble in a silk summer and autumn dress.

There was a strong sense of disgust on her face, and she blocked the intruder's path with her outstretched arms.

"Second Young Master Fan, you'd better restrain yourself. This is a mourning hall, and the memorial tablets placed there are considered to be those of our elders. Are you here to pay homage to the souls of the deceased by barging in with such a loud voice?"

The woman bit her lip lightly, her eyes widened angrily, and she let out a very unhappy yell in her throat.

This foreign-style woman, whose real name is Liu Yufang, also named Wenxiong, is the daughter of the village chief and squire Liu Wenjie.

Her other identity is that of the supervisor of the Jingming School in Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, which is under construction.

Her name is quite worthy: she was the first graduate of Shanghai Jingzheng Women's School, the first women's school in modern China.

This women's school is also called the Chinese Women's School, and is usually called the Jingzheng Women's School or the Jingzheng Women's School.

Two years ago, Mr. Liang Qichao, the well-known leader of the new-only school in China, initiated the initiative to invite twelve domestic and foreign celebrities to serve as school directors, including his wife, Mrs. Cai Yuanpei and other celebrities, and he also served as the dean himself.

The Qing government specially approved and ordered it, and it was invested and built by Mr. Jing Yuanshan, a wealthy businessman from eastern Zhejiang and a native of Shangyu.

The school is located in Guishuli, Shanghai.

It is said that there are branch schools in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Manila, Philippines.

Speaking of which, this young Liu Yufang is Mr. Liang Qichao's favorite and direct disciple, so she enjoys a certain reputation in the cultural and educational circles of Shaoxing Prefecture in eastern Zhejiang.

This time she plans to build a new school in Shanyin County to teach new culture, promote the new and new legalist ideas, and advocate gender equality and women's liberation.

A few days after she returned to her hometown, she heard that something happened to Chen Laoqi's family in the village, and it was related to the Boxer Boxing Group in Shaoxing Prefecture.

She deeply felt that this matter was strange, and immediately came to pay homage. Just when Fan Mingzhong and his group came to make mischief, she stepped forward without hesitation.

Fan Mingzhong stared at her beautiful face with evil eyes, and made a strange sound of "tsk, tsk, tsk..." and howled:

"Liu Yufang, you have some sense. How is it appropriate for a lady from a wealthy family to show up in public if she doesn't follow the rules of a woman? Who do you think you are? You want to stop me... Hehe, let me tell you, Chen Laoqi's family is finished. You have to pay this debt!"

"

As he spoke, he put his hands on his waist and glanced around fiercely.

Those timid and ignorant villagers who were afraid of the Fan family's power nodded and bowed like chickens pecking at rice.

Seeing that Liu Yufang still had a look of contempt, Fan Mingzhong curled his lips and said:

"Repaying debts is a matter of course. To tell you the truth, it was the Chen family who let me in. Chen Laoqi also owes them a lot of money... Haha... They were embarrassed to come in and say that I am not very particular..."

The more he talked, the more proud he became, foaming at the mouth.

Liu Yufang glanced around and found that the people helping out were all the heroine Xue Wanzhen's natal family. Why were there no traces of the Chen family?

Chen Laoqi is naturally the seventh eldest child in the family. He has three brothers and three sisters. Why are there no traces of these people?

This is too snobbish. Seeing that this family is ruined, like a pile of mud, it is impossible to get back together, so everyone hides away like a plague, fearing that this family will ask them to borrow money for relief again.

.

Not to mention brotherhood, is there even basic sympathy gone?

This is the bad nature of being uneducated, ignorant, and backward in ideological awareness!

Liu Yufang said angrily in her heart.

Seeing that Liu Yufang didn't say anything, Fan Mingzhong thought she was timid, his eyes became lewd, and he grinned:

"Miss, I heard that you are very fashionable. Otherwise, why don't you come up with something... Well, I don't know this foreign language. If you kiss me in public now, I, for the sake of your face, will leave here first.

How's it going?"

Liu Yufang glanced coldly and shouted angrily:

"Bah... Shameless second-rate son, go ahead and dream about your mourning... Please keep your mouth clean, Miss. You will not be allowed to be so presumptuous in the mourning hall. If you dare to humiliate my aunt again, you will not suffer any good consequences."

After Fan Mingzhong heard this, he closed his paper fan, stared, and began to roar, yelling:

"You bitch, you bitch, there are so many women in Shanyin County who want to be young masters. I only opened my mouth because I think highly of you. You don't know how to flatter me."

The way he spoke was like the prince of Shanyin County, very arrogant.

"Miss Liu, please stop pretending to be serious and disobey our Second Young Master Fan. He will definitely take pity on you."

"That's right, let's be the second young mistress of our family."

"..."

The servants around Fan Mingzhong were so mean that they uttered obscene words and looked obscene, which made the relatives, friends and villagers who came to mourn him filled with indignation.

"This is too outrageous. You are so reckless in the mourning hall. If you want retribution, you will say that the dead are the most important."

"If you have a huge debt, you have to sit down and discuss it after the funeral. Is there any reason to press for the debt before the bones are cold? It's really uncultured..."

"This is the only one born in Fan Baochang's family, huh!"

"..."

The relatives of the Xue family who were working next to them all put down their work and looked at Xue Xingcai, their eldest brother.

Xue Xingcai's face was already ashen and his fists were clenched tightly, but he still endured it.

This kind of thing should be done by the husband's family, that is, the brothers and sisters-in-law of Chen's parents. This is in line with the rules. If his natal family takes the lead, others will gossip and say that he doesn't take his husband's family seriously.

Please.

Besides, if his mother-in-law's family takes the lead, they must also have the ability to repay the debt.

And my brother-in-law spent a lot of money to buy a new boat, a sailboat equipped with a motor. Not only did he use up his own capital, but he also borrowed money from everywhere to raise money. The debt must be quite large. The Xue family has such strength.

Now the brothers of the Chen family are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they just wanted the Xue family to take the lead, so they deliberately let Fan Mingzhong in to provoke them.

It's hard to tell these days when people's hearts are so far apart.

Xue Xingcai is in his forties and has been in the world for many years. He still has some tricks up his sleeve. He understands that he can only hold back for the moment, but he cannot draw fire.

Anyway, my brother-in-law's property is right in front of me. There are three dilapidated houses with wooden tiles. To make coffins, the bed planks and door panels were all dismantled.

There was nothing valuable at home, and some of the gold and silver she had brought as a dowry had been exchanged for money by Chen Laoqi in a pawn shop in the county town.
