Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

"Are you trying to rob me?" Aunt Li was immediately furious. "Four taels of silver for just this little thing?!"

It was the same guy again, "This is how we charge here. If you don't like it, don't come. Are you afraid you can't afford it?"

This little dispute attracted a group of people's attention. Li Ping felt embarrassed and said, "Stop talking! Give me the money and leave!"

"This is unreasonable, why should we give them money!" Aunt Li pointed at the waiter's nose and scolded them for being a black shop.

"Why are you still cursing? Are you going to default on your debt? I won't tolerate you." The waiter immediately called out a few tall and strong farmhands. Ever since the last incident with that little girl, their boss has hired these farmhands, who are strong and obedient, and are particularly good at dealing with those who default on their debts.

When this man stood here, Aunt Li's arrogance disappeared and she pretended to be calm, "Who wants to default on the debt? It's just four taels."

"Son, give the money to them quickly." Aunt Li urged Li Ping to pay. The four taels of betrothal money was all on Li Ping. She knew that he would carry it with him when he went out. Besides, she only had ten copper coins on her. She never thought that she would spend so much when she went out. She had seen more than ten copper coins at He Lu's place. She thought that there was only one or two taels of silver at most in the town. She never thought that she would need so much.

Li Ping raised his eyes and yelled at her, "You have no money?!"

"How can mother have so much money on her? Don't you have your sister's betrothal money on you? Take it out and give it to the other party."

Li Ping's eyes flickered, "I didn't bring it today."

In fact, he had already squandered the money! He used the four taels of silver to sleep with several women and went to the casino a few times. He was almost able to win back ten taels, but he lost it all. Now he not only has no money, but also owes the casino two taels.

“I didn’t bring it!” Aunt Li was upset when she heard this. This group of people were looking at them like that, and they still hadn’t gotten the money. Wouldn’t that mean the end of it?

"You didn't bring it, did you?" The waiter looked at them with contempt. "Why come to Huichuntang if you don't have money? How about this, you two stay here and work for Huichuntang. We'll let you go when you pay off your debts. Each person gets 100 copper coins a month. If you do it alone, you can pay off your debts in three years and four months. If you two do it, you can pay off your debts in one year and eight months."

The clerk instructed the farmhand, "Bring them in."

Seeing that they were about to be arrested, Li Ping shouted, "Wait, wait, we have money, let us go back and get the money so we can pay it back."

"Then let your mother stay here, and you go back to get the money to redeem her."

Li Ping quickly agreed, "No problem, no problem, don't worry, I will definitely bring the money back."

The guy snorted coldly, "Bring this woman in."

Aunt Li was also panicked when she saw this scene, "Son, will you come to redeem me?"

"Of course, of course. You're my mother, how can I not want you?" Li Ping said perfunctorily while running very fast. In a blink of an eye, he had run dozens of meters away.

Li Ping ran to the entrance of the village in one breath before he dared to stop. He gasped for breath. Rescue? What to rescue? How to rescue without money? Anyway, it was okay as long as he was not detained. Let his mother help him pay off the debt.

Then she thought of the instigator of this incident. It was all because of that bitch He Sheng who didn't know what was good for him. He liked her because he respected her. Bah, she still had the nerve to refuse? Forget it, don't despise a poor young man! He will definitely make a fortune in the future!

Since that day, Ningchang Village has been peaceful, and there is no gossip about He Sheng.

Not only He Sheng felt that something was abnormal, even He Lu knew something was wrong.

"Tsk, I went to the river where the aunties in the village always wash clothes. It was pretty good. Everyone was just talking about their children not wanting to study and the poor harvest due to the drought this year. No one talked about you, girl." He Lu snatched the palm leaf fan from He Sheng's hand. "What's going on? With Aunt Li's mouth, how can she not gossip?"

"Really?" He Sheng immediately went to rub He Lu's shoulders, "Dad, you're not lying to coax me, are you?"

He Lu was dissatisfied, "Tsk, what do you say about your father? Is your father the kind of person who lies to make you happy?"

He Sheng looked at him silently, his eyes revealing two words - you are.

He Lu looked away uncomfortably, "You were still young at that time, so what's wrong with trying to make you happy? But this time Dad really didn't lie, really didn't. I guess Aunt Li had something going on at home, so she didn't have time to gossip."

"Okay, okay, I believe you. I won't talk about her anymore. It's best not to spread rumors. I was thinking of turning the tables and exposing the bad things about his family's Li Ping."

This aroused He Lu's interest. "Tell me first, what did Li Ping do? How did you know?"

He Sheng covered his mouth and laughed, "I used to go to town all the time. I always saw Li Ping in town. Sometimes he came out of that little brothel, and sometimes he came out of the casino. He was always thrown out and beaten by the people in the casino. I guess he still owed the casino money."

The small brothel was not as grand as the ones shown on TV. It was an old two-story building in the town. The original owner of the building moved to the capital, and they simply didn't want the old building anymore. The title deed was thrown on the ground and taken over by a brothel owner from another place. There were women who were sold there by their families, women who had fled from other places and had no choice but to sell their bodies, and that female beggar and that crazy woman.

"Bah, this bastard still wants to propose to you, I should have kicked him out earlier!" He Lu frowned when he heard this. Who among ordinary people would go to that brothel and casino?

"His two sisters were so unlucky. They were sold to wealthy merchants as concubines at a young age. They were born after Madam Li was pregnant for ten months. It was so cruel to let the children be concubines. The status of the wealthy merchant's concubines was not even as good as the maids in the mansion. They have been married for a few months and have not returned. I am afraid they have suffered." The more He Lu thought about it, the more he felt that their family was not good. "It really ruined the atmosphere of Ningchang Village. Bah."

"Well, I just hope those two girls didn't suffer too much."

He Sheng suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the floor in the room. It sounded like a bowl breaking. He Lu stood up suddenly and asked, "Is that person awake?"

"Oh, I should have taken the bowl earlier. He must have broken it. A bowl is quite expensive." He Sheng felt distressed. This crisp sound meant that their family had lost a few cents again.

"Let's go in and take a look. Since he's awake, let him pay for it."

He Lu walked in front and He Sheng walked behind. On the way, He Sheng was still thinking that the bowl was placed there when she had just fed him water. She bought the bowl in the town and it cost five cents!

Pushing the door open, the man was standing beside the broken bowl, at a loss. He was even more confused when he saw the other two people come in. He Sheng leaned over and looked at him curiously. Hiss, how come he looks less intelligent when he wakes up than when he sleeps with his eyes closed?

Don’t be a fool... It’s bad, it’s entirely possible that you hit your brain!
