Chapter 30 Pawning Wife and Daughter

A man in green clothes hurriedly walked out of the crowd, frowned and said to Hu Batian, "Master Hu, wait a minute."

Hu Batian was stopped by someone. He turned around and saw that it was just a strange man who said with an unhappy expression, "What's the matter?"

Seeing his fierce expression, the man became nervous for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu's family may be short of money and can't get any money. If you chop off his hand, how can he run the restaurant? It's better than you Give him some time, and when he earns money, he will surely repay his debt."

The crowd watching the excitement did not expect that Hu Batian would have his hands cut off if he disagreed with him, and they all tried to stop him.

"Yes, Mr. Hu, give Mr. Liu a little more time. He is not someone who will default on his debts. He must have made money and will pay off the debt as soon as possible."

"Master Hu, everyone has had difficult times. Dong Liu's restaurant is just not doing well for a while, but his cooking skills are still good. When the business improves after a while, he will definitely have money in his account."

"Yes, yes, the reason why Mr. Liu's family owes so much money must be to borrow money to buy some good ingredients. He also has good intentions. He wants to let the guests who come to the restaurant eat delicious dishes. He is not deliberately refusing to repay the debt."

…

These people who stood up to dissuade him were all Liu Dongluo's neighbors. They couldn't bear to see him being persecuted by Hu Batian.

Ling Chu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Dong's family was quite popular.

A few years ago, Liu Dongluo came to Kyoto and opened a small restaurant. At first, because it was not well-known, there were few customers, and the business was not very good. He often donated the remaining ingredients to his neighbors, so he received a lot of praise from his neighbors.

Later, the restaurant's business gradually opened up. The food cooked by the chef was delicious and affordable, and the business gradually improved. Although there was rarely any leftover food to give to neighbors later, he would pick out the leftover meals from some guests and give them to nearby beggars.

Even if some guests only touched the food with a few chopsticks, he would carefully select it and give it to the lonely old people without children.

Therefore, Liu Dongluo has a really good reputation around here. Those who had received his favor saw that he was being forced, and they all stepped forward to help him out.

After listening to this for a while, Ling Chu thought that Liu Dong's family owed so much debt because the restaurant was not running well, so they borrowed money for turnover.

Unexpectedly, Hu Batian listened to everyone's words and sneered, "You know nothing about borrowing money to buy food! The reason why Liu Dongluo owes so much money is because he got caught in a gambling house and borrowed money from the gambling house. I wanted to repay my money, but I was unlucky and lost everything.”

As soon as Hu Batian's words came out, the onlookers couldn't help talking. Even the neighbors who stood up to relieve the situation changed their colors. No one thought that Liu Dong's family actually borrowed money to gamble.

Liu Dongluo was originally happy when he saw those neighbors standing up to help him out, but unexpectedly, Hu Batian exposed him.

Seeing the neighbors who came to the rescue shrink back, Liu Dongluo felt angry and regretted that all the benefits he had given him were in vain.

With no one to stop him, Hu Batian let his men take action again.

Unexpectedly, a woman squeezed in from the crowd at this time, crying towards Hu Batian, "Master Hu, please, don't hurt my husband..."

When Hu Batian was stopped, he instinctively wanted to get angry, but when he saw the woman in front of him, his eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, although Liu Dongluo's wife cried miserably, she was still a charming woman.

Hu Batian's narrowed eyes stared at Ge's fair and plump face several times, and he looked up and down her figure before turning to Liu Dongluo.

"Liu Dongjia, since you can't come up with the money, then I will give you another chance. If you agree to let your wife accompany Tao Guanshi, I can ask him to give you a period of grace. When enough money is raised, we can How about paying off the debt?"

After hearing this, Ge Shi was angry and angry.

Although she was a little scared, but considering that she was a wife after all, and not a concubine who could be bought and sold at will, her husband would not agree with Hu Batian's words.

However, what she didn't expect was that her husband was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, then turned to Hu Batian and said, "Master Hu, since you have fallen in love with Ge Shi, it is her fate.

People can take it away for you, but can I offset some of the money I owe? I really can't afford that much money. "

As soon as Liu Dongluo said these words, the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into an uproar.

Ge's body was shaky, his face full of disbelief, "Husband, you...how can you agree?"

Although Liu Dongluo glanced back at her, he quickly looked away.

He lowered his head and said with a mournful face, "I can't help the child's mother. As you know, the family has no money."

There was an aunt who had been favored by Gurdjieff, and I really couldn't bear to see her end up like this. He bravely advised Ge Shi, "Mother Xiangju, if you don't find your money quickly, how will you survive if it is taken away..."

Thinking of the fate of being taken away, Ge Shi was trembling, and said to Hu Batian with a white face, "Master Hu, I have money, just wait, I will give it to you..."

Ge Shi dropped his words and stumbled into the house.

Liu Dongluo opened his mouth and wanted to call her out, but he didn't know what he thought of and closed it again.

Hu Batian frowned, but did not speak to stop him.

If Ge Shi could hand over the money, he wouldn't want to make the matter a big deal.

Lingchu felt relieved when he saw Ge entering the dormitory to get some money.

Although she originally came here to find hidden silver and get the reward money. But she couldn't bear to see Ge end up in such a tragic end.

Everyone was waiting for Ge to take out the silver, but she went into the house and soon came out with a pale face, "Husband, where are the silver in the bottom of the box?"

Liu Dongluo looked up at her and said slowly, "It's gone."

Ge's body shook, and her bloodless face turned even paler, "Then, where are my dowry..."

Liu Dongluo was silent for a long time before saying, "It's gone too, I sold it."

Ge didn't see the silver and dowry in the house, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Liu Dongluo's words shattered her last bit of luck.

Ge didn't expect that she was just out for a few days to visit relatives, and when she came back, the family had changed. Her husband owed a large debt, and not only did she lose her money, but she also lost her dowry.

Hu Batian looked at Liu Dongluo with dissatisfaction, "Since there is no money, I can only take her away. I can give you a few more days, but if you still can't pay the money next time I come, it will not be as simple as cutting off one hand."

Liu Dongluo was submissive, and although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to resist.

Hu Batian ignored him and waved his hand to signal his followers to take Ge away.

Ge collapsed to the ground, at a loss.

At this moment, a girl squeezed in from the crowd and rushed towards Ge in a panic, "Don't take my mother away."
