Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When Zhou's mother saw that this sucker (bushi) was quite interested, she immediately became excited.

With so much money, she felt a little embarrassed if she didn't say something.

"I heard that Master Qi's biggest expense in recent years was buying a house in town."

"Every year they go to town and stay for a while."

However, Zhou's mother did not think much about it, because Qi's father and mother once said that the place was very small and far smaller than the house in Zhoujiazhuang.

Zhou's mother was a simple and honest person. Since everyone told her so, she believed it.

The time she spent there each year was also the quietest for her, because no one came to collect debts every other day.

Although she likes to watch the fun, she doesn't want to be surrounded by noise every day.

Hailancha felt something was wrong when he heard it, and thought this was a great entry point.

"Then, ma'am, do you know where this house is?"

"How would I know? I'm not with them every day." Zhou's mother immediately denied it. She and the Qi family disliked each other, so why would she be curious about where this family's house was.

It’s the maximum we can expect to know that they go there to stay for a period of time every year.

Upon seeing this, Hailancha nodded in understanding, and while they were talking, they also arrived at Qi's house.

"I'm telling you, if you want to collect your debt, you'd better come back another day."

Mother Zhou had been holding it in for the whole time but couldn't help but speak out.

"Debt collection?" Hailancha was a little surprised. What debt collection? But he was smart and followed what Zhou's mother said.

"Ma'am, why is this?"

Zhou's mother had an expression that said "I knew it". If it weren't for the man's generosity, she wouldn't have wasted her breath on him.

"We went to ask for it a while ago. It's useless for you to go again now." Zhou's mother said quite experiencedly.

As he spoke, he looked at Hailancha and the others with pity.

What's wrong with these people? Do they think the money is too much? The reputation of the Qi family is well-known in the area. They are famous for being a swindler.

There are actually people who are so careless as to lend money without asking questions beforehand. This money is probably going to be wasted.

But this was just a complaint in her heart. Good words could not persuade a damned ghost, so Zhou's mother just felt a little distressed.

Mainly because I feel bad about the money...

Hailancha didn't quite understand why there was a look of pity in Zhou's mother's eyes, and thought that he was overthinking.

"Auntie, according to what you said, the Qi family owes a lot of money?"

"Yeah, you don't know, my house is not far from his house, and every now and then I hear someone from the Qi family coming to collect debts, and every time they turn the place upside down."

Mother Zhou started to curl her lips whenever she mentioned it. In her opinion, the Qi couple were weird and she didn't know why they lived in such poverty.

Logically speaking, although Master Qi works in the government, he is not rich, but he shouldn't be so cheap.

But the Qi family was so poor that even Zhou's mother was too embarrassed to cause trouble for them.

Hailancha's heart sank. No matter how he looked at it, this felt deliberately weird.

"How much money did you lend them?"

"......About one hundred taels." Hailancha was a little confused about the situation, so he just said a number at random.

After saying this, Zhou's mother looked at him as if he were a fool.

No? So many!

"You, you, the group that just left was so anxious after borrowing three taels from the Qi family, and you still borrowed a hundred taels. You are really stupid... generous."

Zhou's mother stopped talking in time, but everyone could understand the implication of her words.

Hailancha laughed awkwardly a few times. Well, he had overestimated the level of the dispute.

Zhou's mother was really distressed about the one hundred taels of silver that was wasted, so she started to come up with ideas.

"If you really want to spend the money, I suggest you go to the government office to find Master Qi."

"How to say?"

"The Qi family is such a shameless couple. It will be difficult for you to ask for money!"

After that, she recounted the debt collection dramas she had seen over the years.

It can be said that Qi's mother's methods of throwing tantrums and being a deadbeat have become perfect.

Zhou's mother was talking with great enthusiasm, and Hailancha would agree with her from time to time. For a middle-aged woman like her, it was like she had met a soulmate.

He spoke even more excitedly.

"I have said all I should say. If you really don't want to part with your hundred taels, then go to the government office. I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."

Mother Zhou remembered that she had been out for a long time, and was also worried that this sucker would suddenly wake up and ask her to return the money, so she left in a hurry.

The guard next to him asked Hailancha what to do next.

"Sir, we..."

Hailancha looked at the Qi family's house and found that it was just as Zhou's mother said, in a dilapidated state.

It gives the visual effect that it can be blown down by a not-so-strong wind.

More importantly, is the Qi family’s house in the town really clean?

"Let's go in!" After thinking it over again and again, Hailancha led his men in.

At this time, the Qi couple started to eat again. It can be said that they were very strong mentally as they could eat leftovers with relish even in such a messy place.

When Hailancha went in, the Qi couple obviously didn't react.

Now they have developed a conditioned reflex and think that everyone they see is here to collect debts.

Hailancha also went along with it. In view of the mistake that had just happened, the amount Hailancha mentioned this time was obviously much more cautious.

"who are you?"

"We are here to ask for money, Qi Caigao."

Qi Caigao is the name of Qi's father.

Father Qi was stunned. He didn't know Hailancha, but he was borrowing money everywhere, so he couldn't be sure whether he had really borrowed the money.

But whether you borrow it or not, it is impossible to pay it back!

Qi's mother skillfully began to play the victim, saying that her family was penniless and that she was destitute. In the end, the core idea was that she had no money and no life.

Qi's father was still an invisible man as before, and the couple cooperated very well.

Hailancha’s main goal is to say what you want and remain unmoved.

"It seems that I have to have a good talk with Master Qi."

Qi's mother immediately raised her head with a fierce look on her face. Qi's father secretly touched her, and she calmed down and returned to her sad face.

Hailancha saw everything and had some guesses in his mind, even though they were incredible.

Qi's father and mother turned a deaf ear to it, as if there was really nothing they could do.

Hailancha dropped another bombshell.

"I am not one of those incompetent people. If I don't pay back the money, then Master Qi will no longer be Master Qi."

Hailancha's words implied a threat, which made Qi's father and mother shudder.

In this small area, Master Qi's name is very useful, and everyone gives Master Qi some face.

Besides, the amount of money they borrowed was not that much, so most of the time they just suffered the loss in silence and considered it a thing of the past.

But I didn't expect to meet such a tough guy like Hailancha.

The two men's faces instantly turned bad, and they looked at each other, as if they were considering whether Hailancha was deceiving them.
