Huangxi Village is a village with a very good geographical environment.

The whole village is located beside a tributary of a big river, with fields on the left and mountains behind.

It stands to reason that such a village that takes advantage of the geographical environment should be very rich, but it is just the opposite.

Because of the special climate in this world, the food here is basically harvested once a year, so it is a problem for villagers who only know how to farm but not to use the resources of the mountains to have a full meal.

Although in the memory of the original owner, Huangxi Village is regarded as a village with a medium standard of living, but in Huo Chengyi's view, it is really too poor.

People in the village generally wear rough clothes and patched linen, live in thatched houses with earthen walls, and eat wild vegetables and steamed buns every day. Only a small number of houses are built with blue bricks, stones and tiles, and the overall living standard is very low.

Not only Huangxi Village, but almost all ordinary people in this time and space are hovering on the line of food and clothing. The backward production and culture make everyone can only watch God eat.

Of course, except for noble officials, these people will always be special cases of the times.

Familiarizing himself with the new environment all the way down the mountain, Huo Chengyi ran into villagers in the village on the way, but no one greeted him. When the villagers saw him, they either stared at him or ran away like a ghost. This shows how bad the reputation of the original owner is. .

Huo Chengyi didn't have time to sigh, and hurried home following the memory of the original owner.

This time the original owner was trapped by the people from the gambling shop, and he lost not only his own things, but also his cheap brother's land.

You must know that in this era, the fields are the root of a family's life, and the original owner's cheap elder brother's family is not rich, so he lives on these fields and the money from doing part-time labor in the town on weekdays.

His elder sister-in-law also had a big belly recently, and when the child was born, it was time to use the money. The original owner made such a fuss, and the gambling house came to take away the field, simply dragging his elder brother's family to die together.

Now that the original owner is dead and he has accepted this body, he definitely can't ignore these things, unless he doesn't want to live in this village anymore.

He has just come to this world, even with the help of the original owner's memory, he is still very unfamiliar with everything, so he can't just leave like this.

Moreover, the ancient times were different from the modern times. The population jurisdiction was very strict.

If he left casually like this, he would not be able to settle down in other places, and he would be a refugee in the future, unable to own his own land, and could not enter the city, but could only go to the mountains as a savage.

Therefore, no matter how bad the original owner's previous reputation was, he cannot easily give up this identity. A reasonable identity background is the first condition for a person to settle down.

Just as Huo Chengyi expected, the gambling shop will not wait until the original owner has collected enough money before asking for debts.

At this moment, the people from the gambling shop had already approached the door, and a group of vicious gambling shop thugs surrounded the door of his house and smashed the door of his house to pieces.

His elder brother held a hoe and together with a few villagers stopped the big guys who wanted to come in to collect their belongings. His elder sister-in-law sat at the door crying with her big belly holding a little girl.

In addition, there is a little boy who has been caught by the people in the gambling house. The child is also struggling and crying, shouting "Uncle, don't sell me", and the surrounding villagers are indignant.

In the end, there was an old couple in the crowd who also sat on the ground and cried, crying and cursing repeatedly.

"Why did my poor daughter end up with such a bastard? It's all my parents' fault. Huo Daniu, come out, let's break up the engagement. Today, we two old ones were killed in front of your Huo's house. I can't let my red jade be sold..."

Accompanied by the crying and cursing of the old couple, the fat man in the gambling house, who was wearing a satin gown and was eating a lot of oil and water at first glance, also winked at the big-handed men, then pointed at the little girl next to Wang Xiuzhu, and made a nasty voice road.

"It's only natural to pay back the debt. This money is owed by your Huo family, and Huo Daniu pressed the fingerprints himself. Since you don't take the land deed, you can use these two small ones to pay off the debt! Someone, arrest that girl too come over."

People in the gambling shop have always asked for debts regardless of life or death. Anyway, the Huo family owes the money, so the Huo family will have to share the money.

If you don't have any money, you can use your children to pay off the debt. No matter what happens in your family, they just need to get the money and go back to pay the job.

The thugs in the gambling shop didn't hold back when they heard the order, and kicked Huo Dashan and the others away, and went up to grab the girl next to Wang Xiuzhu.

Wang Xiuzhu, a woman who is pregnant with a child, can't stop her, and Huo Dashan's men can't beat the people in the gambling shop, and the surrounding villagers dare not go up, so they can only surround them and call out "you're a sinner".

Coupled with the two children struggling and crying, the door of Huo's house was very lively for a while.

When Huo Chengyi arrived and saw this scene, he really wanted to beat the original owner up. No wonder the villagers said that this guy is a cancer.

Although the gambling house was calculated by someone else, how could this bastard be fooled if he tried his best?One person who is useless harms the whole family.

Taking a breath, he didn't delay, and put the hatchet in his hand to his waist for the time being, picked up a strong long stick that was scattered on the ground during the obstruction just now, and quickly went there.

"Fatty Jiang, the time limit for collecting debts has not yet come, why do you come to my house and smash things?"

Huo Chengyi went up with a stick, and first gave the two men who caught the children a few sticks. He pulled the two caught children back and pushed them to the back before blocking the front. He stared coldly at the man in silk and satin. Middle-aged fat man.

Fatty Jiang, a manager who specializes in debt collection under the gambling house in the county seat.

"Ah, Huo Daniu is back!"

"This wicked bastard knows how to come back..."

"It's just right, let the people from the gambling house take this guy away, it's not a thing."

Seeing him appearing suddenly, the people around were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses, and then cursed outrageously. The movement of people from the gambling house entering the village just now shocked everyone.

I knew that Huo Daniu was a bastard, but I didn't expect this guy to lose his money, even his fiancée and his elder brother's life were bet on the gambling house, it was a disaster!

Fatty Jiang from the gambling shop didn't expect that Huo Chengyi would have the courage to go home. According to the personality of this strong man who is a scumbag, the word responsibility has nothing to do with this guy, and he will only run away every time he gets into trouble.

Looking at the two thugs who were beaten with sticks, and Huo Chengyi with a bad face, Fatty Jiang's face is not good.

Huo Daniu is really emboldened to dare to do something when he owes money.

"Huo Daniu, since you're back, it's just right. You can take out the money you owe us. The interest is 100 taels. Your fiancée is worth 50 taels. The rest can be paid off with land deeds, houses, and children. Don't force us Let's do it, otherwise we will hurt someone, or make a fuss in the Yamen, and it is our gambling house's reason."

After Fatty Jiang finished speaking, the villagers present hissed again, oh my god, 100 taels!He owed a full 100 taels!

According to the situation of ordinary families in the countryside here, if there is no other livelihood, the total annual income of the whole family from farming is only a dozen taels. Occasionally going to the town to do some part-time jobs can only improve food and drink to supplement the family, and cannot save money.

The situation of Huo's family is even worse. The family business established by the Huo's couple has long been almost defeated by Huo Daniu, who is not up to date, and there is only a house of green bricks and solid tiles left to live in.

Now Huo Dashan earned all the land of the Huo family by himself. Huo Daniu is idle, and Huo Dashan also feeds him and his little nephew.

But even these fields are only a few acres, which is enough for the family to eat, and it is not worth a lot of money. Huo Daniu owes the gambling house 100 taels!

Now if they don't use people to repay the debt, the whole family will simply jump into the river and die. How can they, country people, pay so much money.

But if the debtor is captured by the gambling house, will he be fine?Generally, the good-looking ones are sold to brothels, and the average-looking ones are sold as domestic slaves. It is really a crime...

The villagers hissed and sighed.

The crowd looked at the old couple who were crying and scolding just now, and they were dumbfounded when they heard the amount of money reported by Fatty Jiang. They looked at each other, feeling a little guilty in their eyes.

They had agreed with the people in the gambling shop to cheat Huo Daniu, but according to their thinking, it was a matter of 30 taels. Recognize the money but not the person, and if you don't slaughter a fat sheep, you don't slaughter it.

But things have come to this point, they can only continue to act, if they want to blame it, blame Huo's ancestral grave for not growing a crooked neck tree like Huo Daniu!

Heartbroken, he pinched his thigh fiercely, and the old couple cried and cursed again.

"Huo Daniu, you bastard, how dare you take my family's red jade to pay off the debt and break off the engagement! Immediately break off the engagement! Pay back the money you owe yourself, woo, folks, you all have to Help my family's Hongyu to be the master, my family's Hongyu can't be ruined like this, woohoo..."

The crying old couple knew who it was without Huo Chengyi searching for the memory of the original owner, and there was no one but the Liao family who could call for the dissolution of the engagement.

Today's matter was not created by the Liao family behind the scenes. In order not to repay the betrothal gift and withdraw the engagement without a bad reputation, the Liao family did a great job this time, and gave the Huo family such a big pot.

But everyone didn't know the inside story. They only knew that Huo Daniu owed money to the gambling house, and the villagers were aggrieved.

Huo Dashanhu stopped talking when he was around his wife and children. He felt so cold for the younger brother left behind by his adoptive father. It was just that Daniel was not up to date. This time he really killed their family, let alone 100 taels. Even if it's 50 taels, they can't afford it...

Uncle Lizheng, the head of the original owner's village, also hated iron and steel. Why did the Huo family produce such a thing? You must know that today, you shouldn't have taken care of this guy before, and you should be driven out of the village to be quiet!

The Liao family couple yelled and cried and cursed, and the villagers shook their heads and turned over and over again, but they could only say sin.

Fatty Jiang didn't want to waste any more time, so he raised his hand to greet the thugs he brought, and issued an ultimatum.

"Brother Huo, don't blame us for not showing affection, there must be rules in everything. Today, if you are sensible, take out the money and pay it back, or you will pay us for the debt, otherwise don't be rude, brother!"

"You're welcome, Fatty Jiang, you said it yourself. You should pay attention to the rules in everything, and pay back the debts. But before the time limit is up, you bring someone to smash the door of my house. What is the rule if you beat my family? Since you and I Let’s talk about morality and rules, then let’s forget this matter first and then talk about other things.”

Huo Chengyi stared at the menacing gambling house thugs in front of him and sneered. After speaking, he picked up the stick in his hand and first threw a stick at Fatty Jiang who was closest to him.
