"No money at home!" Old Man Gu said angrily, "Everyone in the family needs money, in terms of food and clothing. Every day, you spend money, and you don't earn any money. You are entirely dependent on your elder brother. You have to find a way to repay this money yourself."

"Hey hey hey, Old Man Gu. If you don't return the money, Gu Wei's wife is mine. When Gu Wei signs, he uses his wife as collateral." Li Er took out the IOU again and showed the words on it to Old Man Gu. After that, he stuffed it back into Old Man Gu's sleeve.

"Old Man Gu, don't believe me. How could I dare to treat this matter as a joke? You could go to the teahouse and ask that storyteller." Li Er calmly said as he looked at Lian Qingmei, who was standing at the side, with a malicious glint in his eyes.

Having said that, looking back at Gu Wei's evasive expression, it was obvious, "You are disappointing! He's actually using your wife as collateral! Was she worth two taels of silver? How could I have a son like you! "

Lian Qingmei looked at Gu Wei in disbelief, she had a sarcastic smile on her face, "Gu Wei, I'll give you your son, wash the clothes and marry you to your family, even if you don't know anything, even if you gamble and take my jewelry as money, I'll still be angry, but you sold me off just because of two taels of silver, in your heart! Is there anyone else like me? "

"I don't care about anything else. Sister Lian, according to the IOU, if you don't pay up, you will have to follow me. It is perfectly justified for you to pay back your debts." Lee Erpi did not care about such trivial matters. Two taels of silver for a wife was worth it!

Lian Qingmei looked at Old Man Gu and found it difficult to speak, but she still asked, "Does our family really not even have two taels of silver?"

Old Man Gu's expression stiffened for a split-second before he shook his head. "There really isn't anyone at home."

"Dad, why don't I go to the village and borrow some money. I can't possibly ask my second sister to go with him." Saying that, Gu Qingzi couldn't help but push Gu Wei down, "Do you want to starve your son to death? Your son is still nursing. Without your second sister-in-law, where are you going to find milk? "

Hearing his own son, Gu Wei pricked up his ears and became a little scared. That's right, his son had just been born. This, this, how could he be such a scoundrel!

After waking up, Gu Wei started to regret.

"This, ah, you can go." Old Man Gu was too embarrassed to accept Gu Qingzi's words.

Gu Qingzi snorted in annoyance. She found Gu Wei annoying again, "Second Brother, when can you save Daddy's mind and not clean up your mess? I don't owe you anything and you gave me everything you wanted, but you still went to gamble..."

Gu Qingzi left the room as she muttered to herself.

"Lee Family brat, just wait a moment." After Old Man Gu finished speaking, he looked at Lian Qingmei. "Go back to your room. I'll take care of this for you."

The anger that Lian Qingmei had suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment. She stared at Gu Wei and said word by word, "Did I tell you that if you bet again, we will leave each other!"

"It's not like I'm betting your jewelry." Gu Wei felt that he was right and immediately retorted.

"Is that so? Hehe, "Even if the rabbit got anxious, it would still bite. Lian Qingmei said coldly," So this time you directly pawned me out, what about next time? Can't you also mortgage your son for the sake of gambling! Gu Wei! I married you because I was blind! " Having said so, Lian Qingmei left the door angrily and returned to her room.

In the village, Gu Qingzi knocked on the door one by one to borrow money, but no one was willing to lend her two taels of silver. In the village, Gu Qingzi knocked on the door one by one to borrow money, but no one was willing to borrow two taels of silver.

Gu Qingzi had no choice but to arrive at Shen Yi's house and knock on his door.

"Clasp — — Mr Shen." The corner of Gu Qingzi's mouth raised into a smile. She extended her hand to stop hitting people who were smiling. She had to be kind. After all, she was the one who asked for help from others.

Shen Yi was initially disappointed because Gu Qingzi didn't come yesterday, but now that Gu Qingzi suddenly came to his door, he immediately went to open it for her. Looking at Gu Qingzi's smiling face, he was a little surprised, "Miss Gu, what's the matter?"

Gu Qingzi lowered her head shamelessly, her voice becoming softer as she looked at her feet, "About that, I, Second Brother, went to gamble again. I owe you two taels of silver, but I don't have that much in my family. Can you lend me two taels of silver? I can sign the bet."

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingzi, "What can your family bet now?"

"I …" Gu Qingzi didn't know what to say.

"How about this, it won't be hard for me to help you. You can chop firewood and cook for me for half a month, and I'll lend it to you." Gu Qingzi looked at Shen Yi's squinty eyes that were filled with smiles, and her heart skipped a beat. She had to admit, Shen Yi really had a nice look to him.

"Alright." Gu Qingzi agreed since she had no other choice.

"Yes, I'll give you the silver." Shen Yi straightforwardly took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingzi.

"About this, don't we need to sign it?" Gu Qingzi took the silver and asked.

"I believe you." Shen Yi smiled with a warm light in his eyes.

Gu Qingzi's face suddenly turned red. "Thank you. I'll come over to cook dinner tonight."

Then, almost floating, he walked back to his home and gave the money to Li Er. After burning the IOU, he sent Li Er out.

He closed the door.

Gu Wei stood up and said with a cold look on his face, "If Third Sister is so capable, you can borrow money as soon as you go out."

"Heh," Gu Qingzi laughed. "Do you think that others are like you, lacking in character or sense of responsibility? Heh, do you think this money is easy to borrow? Is this because I promised to do free work for him for half a month for him for half a month, and he only borrowed this money, or does he need to pay it back? "Second Brother, if it wasn't for Second Sister-in-Law, I wouldn't even have bothered to look at you when you were taken away by Li Er."

"You!" Gu Wei was furious and raised his hand to hit Gu Qingzi.

"I went out for a round before I managed to borrow money for you. You actually beat me up!" Gu Qingzi looked at Gu Wei in disbelief. She did not expect Gu Wei to be so lame.

Old Man Gu stopped Gu Wei and slapped him, "Bastard! "I haven't bothered with the matter of you mortgaging Qingmei."

"That's my wife. So what if I sold it to her?" Gu Wei was just so angry that he would talk nonsense outside. Lian Qingmei who was in the inner room could hear his words loud and clear.

Lian Qingmei came out of the house, "Gu Wei, are you a man or not? In the entire village, you're the only one who can do such a shameful thing!"

"What is it? Can't I sell you? Look who I sold you to say I'm wrong. " Gu Wei chattered like a machine gun.

Lian Qingmei was so angry that tears fell. She couldn't win against Gu Wei, so she felt even more wronged.
