No, the group of people from before should have left. We won’t go to the place we had an appointment for tomorrow. The more money we can save, the better. Those yamen runners shouldn’t chase us home.

Little did he know that someone was still waiting for him outside.

Boss Niu's face looked extremely ugly, sometimes blue and sometimes white, his mind was full of thoughts about losing money. Just one tael of silver was enough to make him so heartbroken that he could not bear it any more.

It was nearly twenty taels and I felt like the sky was falling. I walked out of the room and found the ground was a bit uneven. I felt like I was going to fall, so I quickly held on to my wife next to me to keep myself steady.

I realized it wasn't that the ground was uneven, but that I was a little dizzy. Now everything seemed to be flying around.

After leaving the yamen, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. I thought it would be better if I could leave here as soon as possible.

Niu Li helped him walk to a place where he could not see the yamen and sat down. The dizziness and vertigo felt much better and he finally had the strength to settle the accounts with his wife.

In an impatient tone, "I winked at you just now, what's wrong with you? After being married for so many years, can't you understand what I mean?"

The eldest son's wife felt very aggrieved, "I... I thought your eyes were uncomfortable. Besides, he is the county magistrate. How could he not know what lies you are telling?"

He was already full of anger, and when he heard such a rebuttal, he felt like smoke was coming out of his head. His eyes widened, and his hands raised up. Niu Li instinctively protected his head, shrank his body, and his whole body could not stop shaking.

When his hand was about to fall, there were a few clear coughs, interrupting the movement. Boss Niu was very dissatisfied and raised his hand again to be about to fall.

"There are people who sell poisonous soy milk and beat their own wives."

"Why would I buy soy milk made by someone like this?"

"You're right, that's all he's capable of."

Boss Niu was so angry that he almost went crazy. The dizziness he had just felt came back. He suppressed it and pointed in the direction of the sound. "It has nothing to do with you..."

When I looked more clearly, I found that it was my creditor. He had not left yet and had waited until now just to block me here. I swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"For someone like you, if you don't wait here, how can you get the money back?"

"Let's go~ Don't play any tricks on us, your tricks are not enough."

Ni'er and the other two also went out and saw a group of people surrounding Boss Niu and his wife in front of them.

As if seeing a savior, Boss Niu rushed out of the crowd, hugged the third brother's legs and was about to kneel on the ground.

"Brother, please help me. I don't have the money to pay them. I know you have money. Just this once, please help me."

"I will definitely pay you back the money I owe you, please help me."

The third brother held on to him, preventing the eldest brother Niu’s knees from touching the ground. A man should kneel to heaven, earth, and his parents, but he should not kneel to his brothers.

Ni'er stood aside, saying nothing, not wanting to get involved in such matters. After all, he was her elder, and if she said too much, she might be blamed.

It’s okay for others, but if the father feels sorry for his brothers, then it would be a thankless task.

This kind of thing is something Dad has to think carefully before refusing. In my heart, I hope that Dad won't be so open-hearted to such a heartless person as he was before.

Together with the eldest brother's wife, he helped the man up, his face cold, "How dare you, not only do you owe me money, but you also ruined my reputation, and now you dare to ask me for money."

Originally, Ni'er was ready to pay, but her father's words really impressed her, and she finally saved the money in her pocket.

But even if my dad said he would give money to my uncle, what he had in his pocket was far from enough. He didn't know how my uncle could get enough money, and he didn't want to think too much about it.

In the future, there will always be a bunch of people gathering at the door of their house asking for money. Fortunately, they separated the family business in the beginning, otherwise they might have to suffer the same fate today.

The eldest son’s wife has rarely seen the third son being tough. Over the years, not allowing Ni’er to go to the wedding was one time, and today it happened again. It seems that people really can change.

There was no point in getting the money, and kneeling was useless. He soiled the boss's trouser legs, patted the dirt off, helped the man and turned away.

Seeing so many people waiting, Niu Lao Da gritted his teeth and walked forward, one step deep and one shallow, as if he was stepping on cotton. Half of his body weight was on his wife, and he no longer had the strength to walk straight.

There is no point in saying more. Those people won't leave even if you talk them till your mouth is hoarse. Let's just go home together. I can help you.

Manager Liu invited the two to go to the restaurant to rest. The tense atmosphere just now was uncomfortable and they were still feeling scared.

However, it was already late, and if he didn't go back, his family would be very worried, so he did not accept Manager Liu's invitation.

Ni'er estimated that Carpenter Sun had already closed the shop at this hour. She felt a little weak in the knees after not having eaten lunch, so there was a high probability that she would find the shop empty-handed if she went there.

Something like this happened to my uncle today. If I take a donkey cart back home, my grandma will probably come to my house and scold me endlessly. After thinking about it, I decided that there is no rush and I should go home first.

Mother and Niu Li must be extremely anxious at home.

The third brother put Ni'er on the donkey and led the donkey home.

Nier thought about what happened this morning. Maybe jumping over the fire basin would really be useful. She went home and asked her mother to jump over the fire basin again.

We can't bring bad luck into the house. As for the money that uncle owes us, it is 100% certain that he will never get it back.

It was time to cook dinner, but why hadn't the person come back yet? Yan Zi couldn't sit still any longer, so she led Niu Li to the village entrance, looking at the person in front of her from afar. She looked like her mother-in-law, and after a closer look, she realized that it was definitely her, could it be...

"Mom, why are you here?"

The old lady was not happy when she saw them. She glanced at them and said, "How come you are the only one at the entrance of the village? I can't come~"

Yan Zi was used to her mother-in-law's weirdness, so she didn't take it to heart and continued to speak kindly, "Mom, I see you are waiting for someone here. My third son and Ni'er haven't come back yet, and I'm worried."

The old lady perked up when she heard this. The third child hadn't come back, so how could these four people get together? She became even more suspicious. "The eldest child and your eldest sister-in-law haven't come back either. Can you guess what's going on?"

Yan Zi shook her head. She never thought that if he didn't come back, she would hire an ox cart and go to the town to find Manager Liu to inquire about him.

A group of people appeared in the distance. Two of them looked familiar, but it was getting dark and they couldn't see clearly. "Mom, look, are those my uncle and his wife?"

The old lady's eyesight was naturally not as good as that of the young man. She looked at them for a while and confirmed that it was the eldest son and his wife. But why did they need someone to support them when they were so old? Seeing that they were walking with difficulty, they might have been injured.

Why are there so many people following us? They are all strangers. Maybe the boss got into trouble and is here to ask for compensation.

The old lady's intuition about money was very accurate. Her original worry faded away, and she wanted to go forward to take her son back. However, when she saw this situation, she took her foot back and the joy on her face disappeared.
