"Who is that person outside?" Yue Yiyi didn't know the situation and subconsciously looked at Lin Zeyuan.

The latter was also stunned, and after coming back to his senses, his expression suddenly became panicked.

"Could he be...a money lender?"

"What? You borrowed money with interest!" Yue Yiyi's voice suddenly became excited.

And this movement made the people outside the yard hear the knocking on the door, and they suddenly became more and more fierce.

"Open the door. If you don't open the door, we will smash it!"

"Tell you not to run away, there are our people at the back door too!"

Lin Zeyuan and Yang's hearts instantly rose to their throats, while Yue Yiyi couldn't care less about regretting it at the moment, just staring at the door nervously.

Damn it, Lin Zeyuan was actually blocked by someone asking for a debt, how could he be like this!

The sound of banging on the door became louder and louder, and soon turned into kicking. Seeing that the courtyard door was already shaking a little, Lin Zeyuan finally responded, stepped forward quickly, and opened the door bolt.

The moment he opened the door, before Lin Zeyuan could say anything, the other party kicked him in the chest and knocked him to the ground.

"Yuan'er!" Yang quickly stepped forward to help the person.

Several men with fierce looks broke in. The leader was a burly man with an ugly appearance and a scar on the right side of his face. He was the one who made the decision to give interest to Lin Zeyuan, nicknamed Scarface.

"Master Dao, if you have anything to say, please say it, don't do anything." Lin Zeyuan was helped by Yang to get up, holding his chest, and said angrily while enduring the pain.

"Stop talking nonsense and pay back the money you borrowed as soon as possible."

"Isn't this day not yet here? Don't worry, when the time comes, I..."

"The whole imperial city is now buzzing about your scandal. Do you think I don't know about it? When the time comes, I'm afraid all of you will be gone. Hand over the twenty thousand taels of silver quickly!"

"What?" Lin Zeyuan was shocked, "I only borrowed ten thousand taels of silver, and according to the interest rate we agreed on before, even if the time comes, I will only have to pay it back..."

Scarface grabbed Lin Zeyuan's collar, and Lin Zeyuan was instantly choked and speechless.

"I said you can pay back as much as you want. What, you want to default on your debt?"

"No, no, I didn't, no!" Lin Zeyuan shook his head hard.

Yang also stepped forward and tried to pry Scarface's hands away, but was pushed by him and staggered, falling directly to the ground.

"Go away, I'm not a good person. If you dare to fight me again, your son will die for you!"

Yang was frightened and froze on the spot. She was so frightened that she couldn't recover for a while.

Scarface gave Lin Zeyuan another hard swing and threw him to the ground.

"I'll give you five days. If you can't raise enough money..." Scarface snorted coldly and glanced at the younger brothers behind him.

Someone immediately said: "One day later, I will cut off one of your hands, and one day later, I will cut off one of your feet. When all four limbs are gone, I will throw you on the street to beg for food and pay off your debts!"

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Zeyuan's forehead, and Yang was even more frightened.

Scarface nodded with satisfaction and whistled when his eyes glanced at Yue Yiyi who was hiding aside.

"She looks pretty good. How about the little lady following me?"

Yue Yiyi's face turned pale and she instantly looked at Lin Zeyuan as if asking for help.

Although she has stayed in a brothel all year round, she has rarely seen such a vicious person. What's more, she will live a good life in the future. If she is related to such a person, then there will be no dignitaries willing to take her. she!

Lin Zeyuan said quickly: "Master Dao, please don't joke. Don't worry, I will definitely give you the money."

Scarface glanced at Lin Zeyuan with contempt, "You'd better keep your word, otherwise... hum!"

There was another cold snort. Although the following words were not spoken, it was enough to make Lin Zeyuan's whole body drenched in cold sweat.

After a few people left, Lin Zeyuan stepped forward tremblingly and closed the shaky courtyard door again, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What can we do!" Yang didn't care about her image, she lay on the ground with a cry in her voice, "How can I get twenty thousand taels of silver in such a short time!"

"You have to do it even if you don't have enough, otherwise..." Lin Zeyuan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, "These people are extremely vicious and they really do what they say."

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have borrowed money from them. Not only was I imprisoned for nothing, but I also got into trouble with such a group of evil people. How can I live like this..."

Yang kept complaining, and Lin Zeyuan didn't care to comfort his mother, but turned his attention to Yue Yiyi.

"Yiyi, can you still have some money on hand to help me with the emergency?"

Yue Yiyi's face, which had been pale with fright just now, instantly turned gloomy after hearing these words.

Lin Zeyuan actually asked her for money again?

The money he gave her before had emptied her savings, but now Lin Zeyuan actually had the nerve to talk to her?

Moreover, 20,000 taels of silver, looking at Lin Zeyuan's appearance, was all collected there. If he really had his hands and feet cut off by the group just now, wouldn't the money he gave out be in vain?

Seeing that Yue Yiyi didn't speak, Lin Zeyuan's heart went cold and he asked tentatively: "Yiyi, aren't you willing?"

Before Yue Yiyi could speak, Yang jumped first.

"Why are you so unwilling, a bitch? If it weren't for you, Yuan'er wouldn't have completely broken up with Chu Huanyan. There would be no need to borrow any interest to bribe the boss. In the end, it was all your fault..."

"Mom, don't say that!" Lin Zeyuan interrupted Yang and shook his head at her.

His feelings for Yue Yiyi made him reluctant to think so, but there was a faint, but uncontrollable feeling in his heart that his mother's words were actually correct.

If it weren't for Yiyi, he wouldn't be in this situation!

Yue Yiyi was already extremely unhappy, and now her face became even darker after hearing Yang's words.

Lin Zeyuan himself was useless, but he would blame others. He was thinking of refuting, but the next moment Yang spoke again.

"Yuan'er, look at her like this. She doesn't seem to want to help you at all. Yue Yiyi, if Yuan'er and I don't have a good time, don't even think about it. She is a lowly brothel girl, and she is ruthless. It is said that Let’s go out and see who dares to want you again!”

Yang's words hit hard what Yue Yiyi was most worried about.

In this imperial city, no matter how much ink they have in their stomachs, the dignitaries are still arty on the outside and pay attention to face.

Her reputation has deteriorated a lot since the last time she bribed a drunkard. If there are more rumors about the Lin family, it may be more difficult for her to find a new husband in the future.

What's more important is that now that she has left the Lin family, she has nowhere to go. It would be better to stabilize Lin Zeyuan for the time being and see if he can find any other ways.

Just give me more money...

Facing Lin Zeyuan's gaze, Yue Yiyi gave a stiff smile.

"Brother Yuan, of course I won't ignore you, but you also know that I don't have much savings to begin with, and I paid for your breach of contract last time. I... really can't afford the money."

Saying that, Yue Yiyi took off the hairpin from her head and handed it to Lin Zeyuan.

"The only thing I brought out was this hairpin. Maybe I could exchange it for some money."

"Yiyi, I knew you wouldn't be so heartless. Don't worry, I will definitely make you live a good life."

Lin Zeyuan immediately took the hairpin, but his eyes fell on Yue Yiyi's earrings, "Yiyi, are your earrings the ones I gave you before?"
