Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

Xiao Lou's voice became smaller and smaller, but Si Pei, who was fully focused on him, could still hear him clearly.

Then, Si Pei felt a little powerless in his whole body.

At first Si Pei thought it was his friend who betrayed his friendship, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Now that his friend is at home, he can't protect himself, and there is nothing wrong with Zhang's servants obeying the Patriarch's arrangement.

What's more, Si Pei's own troubles had nothing to do with Zhang's family from a logical point of view, and it was reasonable for Zhang's family not to want to go into troubled waters.

Si Pei also knew that his friend's father had always looked down on him. He felt that his family was poor, and he hadn't made much progress in the imperial examinations for many years. He cut off the contact logically, and Si Pei believed in such an operation.

Only in this way, Si Pei felt even more isolated and helpless.

When Si Pei was talking with Xiaolou, the former leader restrained the other subordinates from stepping forward to disturb him. Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Si Pei looked distraught again, so he stepped forward again and said, "Mr. , you understand the matter in general, so you should pay back the money you owe us, right?"

When Si Pei came back to his senses, he really realized his current situation. He couldn't help but tremble, and begged the leader, "Brother Hu, I don't have any money. I was cheated. Someone set me up." , you know, someone deliberately framed me, I, I..."

Si Pei panicked, spoke incoherently, and looked very pitiful, but the leader called "Brother Tiger" was indifferent to this. This was not the first time he was collecting debts, and such things might be touched at first. But now it seems that is the case,
Brother Hu said that there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh because Si Pei, a scholar, respectfully called him "Brother Hu".

But even if the debt is being collected, Brother Hu still maintains a basic respect for Si Pei, a scholar on the surface: "Si Xianggong, I don't agree with your statement, saying that someone framed you, but you are the one who gambled and wrote the IOU." , Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes, you can’t deny it, since you have borrowed money from our bank, it’s only natural to pay back the debt, and it’s the same principle wherever you go.”

Although Si Pei knew that his current situation was deliberately designed by someone, it was still because he was not careful, and if he hadn't indulged himself, he would not have made it to this point. Therefore, facing Brother Hu's words, he didn't know how to justify himself for a while. , in the eyes of others, this is the default.Seeing Si Panan's speechless appearance, Brother Hu despises him, he is still a scholar, even if he is a scholar, once he touches the word gambling, he is no different from ordinary people, even worse than himself.

When Si Pei was talking with them, the Si family who had seen something was wrong had already stopped eating and came out of the house. Seeing so many strong men surrounding Si Pei, it seemed a bit bad. The only adult male, mustered up the courage to walk ahead, although it was useless.

Afterwards, what Si Pei and the others said was beyond their expectation. These people belonged to the bank, and they came here to collect debts from Si Pei. Everyone in the family couldn't believe it.

Si Zhang was the one who reacted the most, and she was the one who refused to believe that Si Pei actually gambled outside.

Si Pei, the eldest son, has always been her pride.

From the very beginning, Si Pei's birth further consolidated Si Zhang's position in the Si family. At that time, Si Zhang had not been happy for many years after marriage, and her mother-in-law was ready to take a concubine for her son. It was precisely because of Si Pei's timely arrival that this matter That's the end of the matter.

At that time, Si Zhang felt that Si Pei's son was his lucky star.

Later, as Si Pei grew up, he became more and more excellent in Si Zhang's eyes. Even after his husband's death caused his family's financial situation to deteriorate, Si Pei also passed the examination of scholar early on, allowing the family to have a new family. improvement.

Even if Si Pei didn't get into Juren again, he was still the backbone of everyone in the Si family.

And in Si Zhang's view, Si Pei is filial and sensible, which is better than anything else.

Si Pei has always been the pride of Si Zhang.

But now, she heard that this son she had always been proud of had fallen in love with gambling.

Those who have no experience know that if a person starts to gamble, it will basically end badly.

No matter when, there is no shortage of examples of people going bankrupt because of gambling.

Mrs. Si Zhang has lived for so long, and he has heard of many cases of rich families losing all their property in casinos because of their unworthy children.

Even rich people can't stand gambling, let alone the Si family is just an ordinary family now.

Not only Si Zhang, but the second wife and his wife also did not accept Si Pei's gambling.

In today's era, when people are divided into four classes: "scholars, farmers, businessmen" and scholars, their social status is naturally superior to others. This concept is deeply rooted, and the Si family is no exception. Si Pei, the elder brother, no matter in the eyes of his younger brother or his sister-in-law, , are extremely majestic.

But now, that longstanding majesty has been shaken somewhat.

As for Si Xiu and the other two little girls, no one cared about their opinions, but they were quite shaken in their hearts.

The happiest person in the family at the moment should be the real kid Si Zhuo, who is still lying on the bed and spitting bubbles happily.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people at home, Si Pei moved his lips and muttered twice, but he still didn't say anything.

In the eyes of others, this is the default.

Si Zhang's heart suddenly became cold, and she burst into tears in an instant: "Pei'er, why are you really, really, confused, how can you be worthy of your ancestors if you do this, how... "

Seeing that his old mother, who had always cared for him, was so emotional, Si Pei felt quite ashamed, and bowed his head, unable to speak.

Just when the atmosphere was silent, Brother Hu jumped out again to show his presence: "Madam, this is the way it is. If you have time to grieve, why don't you pay back the money for Mr. Si? After all, Mr. Si is a scholar who owes debts. It’s not good to hear about this reason. Before, we had already considered it for Si Xianggong, and we never went to the academy. This time we came home because we had no choice but to settle the matter in private. But if we don’t pay back Qian, then we won't guarantee anything from now on, and Si Xianggong's reputation will be ruined, so we can't be blamed, can't we?"

Brother Hu's words hit the nail on the head, and he used both soft and hard words inside and out, which woke up the Si family mother and son.

Even if such a disaster suddenly happened to Si Pei, and he hated Si Pei, the eldest son, in his heart, Si Zhang still valued Si Pei very much in his heart. Si Pei's good performance in the past made Si Zhang willing to believe Si Pei went astray for a while, but when he corrects it in the future, he will still be as good as ever.

Therefore, Mrs. Si was really anxious to hear that the debt collectors in Qianzhuang said that if they didn't pay back the money, they would go to the academy to make a fuss, which would damage Si Pei's reputation.

The same is true for Si Pei, who has been silent all the time. As a serious scholar, he knows the importance of reputation best. , Not everyone can bear it.
