He Daquan walked to Old Lady Chen and whispered, "Don't we still have Auntie? Give me the money from your family, and after I pay it back, I can turn the tables."

Old Mrs. Chen looked unwilling: "What if I lose again?"

He Daquan was anxious, "Mother, let's talk about the future later. If it really doesn't work out, I won't gamble anymore. I'll just find a job and earn money steadily."

Old Mrs. Chen had no choice. The creditors had come to her door, so she could only choose to trust her son and go back to get the money.

But not long after, she rushed out again, punched He Daquan several times, and yelled in a state of collapse: "You are the only one who knows where the money in the house is. Did you steal the money from the family? There are only five taels of silver in the house now. What do you want me to give you to pay you back?"

He Daquan felt a little uneasy when he thought about how he had used money to treat his friends to dinner a few days ago, and that they had gone to Tianwailou to eat seafood.

Seeing her son's expression, Old Lady Chen didn't understand anything. She suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried, "Why am I so miserable? You took all the fifty taels of silver. Now there are only five taels left at home. How can I live in the future?"

He Daquan looked at Cao Li in panic, "Brother Cao, I only have five taels of silver left at home. Can you give me a few more days?"

Cao Li sneered, "No money? Then I'll have to ask someone to move your things. I know you made a small fortune before, and bought a lot of valuable furniture at home. Come on, help me move them, and search around to see if you have any money!"

"Yes!"

The strong men went into the house immediately.

Old Mrs. Chen wanted to step forward to stop them, but as an old woman, she was no match for a few strong men and could only watch from the side.

He Daquan said anxiously: "Brother Cao, my family is really out of money. Those things are all we have. If you move away, how can I marry a new wife?"

Cao Li looked at him with disdain. "You still want to get married? Who would want to marry a debtor gambler?"

He Daquan choked and was about to speak when he saw the strong men moving out the tables, chairs and other items from his house.

A strong man ran into Old Lady Chen's room and suddenly took out a jewelry box. "Boss, there are quite a few silver ornaments in this jewelry box."

Old Mrs. Chen was startled, and she crawled to her feet, and rushed forward to grab the jewelry box, "Put it down, I'm going to give it to my grandson to marry a wife, give it back to me!"

The man pushed Old Lady Chen hard, walked quickly to Cao Li, and showed him the jewelry, "Brother, look."

Cao Li picked up the jewelry, estimated its weight, and frowned, saying, "These are only worth ten taels of silver. Add the five taels they have and the tables and chairs, and I still need fifteen taels to pay off the debt."

He Daquan begged bitterly: "Brother Cao, please forgive me this time. Fifteen taels of silver, plus the table and chairs, is enough for twenty taels. You can take the money and leave."

Cao Li snorted: "If I say it's not enough, it's not enough. Do you owe the gambling house money, or does the gambling house owe you money?"

He Daquan knew that they would not let him go easily, so he asked anxiously, "I really have no money."

Cao Li glanced at the He family's house and said, "Your house is still worth some money."

He Daquan was startled. He didn't expect that they would set their sights on his house!
