C30 Hard to Say

Sleeping Wind, seeing that her purse had been taken away, went to take it back, but she was only a little girl, and she was no match for these men.

"What are you doing? Give me back my money bag..."

The two big men teased Tao Xiaozui, making her gnash her teeth in anger. Her figure was petite, but her aura was not inferior to others.

"If you don't return it to me, I'm going to report it to the authorities."

"We're not afraid of you reporting it to the authorities, but he owes us a gambling debt. If he doesn't pay us back, we'll just take our money back."

The person grabbed onto Tao Xiaozui and made her unable to move.

Tao Xiaosui didn't show any signs of weakness. She wouldn't allow these people to use second brother Tao's matter to make things difficult for her.

"The money is owed by my second uncle. What does it have to do with me? Whether it is me or my father, we will not help that gambler return the money. If you have the capability, don't just attack a girl like me. Try to report it to the government."

There were more and more people on the street. Tao Xiaosu saw the opportunity and shouted," Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Every time the big man moved, Tao Xiaosui would scream. It was unbearable.

"Ah -"

The surrounding people surrounded them and saw a few big men bullying a little girl.

The accusations rose and fell one after another. In addition, Tao Xiaozui's scream was too lethal, so the big man still let go.

"Stop screaming!"

Tao Xiaosu took the opportunity to take back her money bag. She didn't want to get entangled with them.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the big man still took back Tao Xiaosui: "Go back and tell Second Brother Tao that if he doesn't return the money within three days, we won't be polite anymore."

"I don't have the obligation to pass a message to you."

Tao Xiaozui's words angered the big man. In front of so many people, he didn't give them any face and didn't let Tao Xiaozui go.

"Damned girl!"

He raised his hand and was about to hit Tao Xiaosui, but when Tao Xiaosui closed her eyes to dodge, a man walked out and grabbed the big man's arm.

"How can a few men go against a girl?"

A few of his men came up to him, wanting to teach him a lesson, but he beat them up with one hand. They couldn't even stand up.

Tao Xiaosu looked up. She didn't expect that the person who stood up for her would be Dong Zhuo.

"It's you?"

Dong Zhuo nodded and smiled at Tao Xiaosui. He used more strength and ordered the big man holding Tao Xiaosui, "Let her go."

The man frowned and immediately let Tao Xiaosui go: "Our business with her has nothing to do with you. What are you doing here?"

"Her business is my business."

Tao Xiaosu saw that Dong Zhuo had misunderstood and immediately explained, "I have nothing to do with this casino. You can't lie through your teeth."

After a closer look, the man recognized Dong Zhuo. In the blink of an eye, he proudly waved his hand, "So it's you, Dong Zhuo?"

"After changing your clothes, I really don't recognize you anymore. Don't forget, you still owe our casino money! A whole hundred taels of silver, when can I pay it back?"

Dong Zhuo took out a hundred taels banknote and threw it in his face, "From now on, we are even."

After they took the banknote, they naturally left. Before leaving, they didn't forget to remind Tao Xiaosui: "Old man Tao's money can't be any less."

Tao Xiaozui thought that it was a coincidence that she met Dong Zhuo, but it wasn't.

From what they said just now, Tao Xiaosui knew that Dong Zhuo was a gambler. To be able to owe a hundred taels of silver in the casino, he was a big gambler.

"Thank you for just now."

Dong Zhuo also gave the county magistrate's fine to Tao Xiaozui: "I'm also here to pay back the money, and I happened to meet Miss Tao. This is the county magistrate's fine, Miss Tao, take it!"

Tao Xiaosuan accepted the silver taels and guessed Dong Zhuo's identity: "Seeing your outstanding temperament, you should have an extraordinary background. How did you end up owing money in the casino?"

"This... is a long story."

"If I'm not wrong, the last time you were entrusted by someone, it was to pay off your gambling debt!"

Dong Zhuo scratched his head and smiled brightly. He nodded in agreement with Tao Xiaotu's guess.

"I don't have a choice. In order to pay off my gambling debt, I can only do something that goes against my conscience. Luckily, Lady Tao, you're not a person with a grudge. You even helped me pay the medical fees."

Every day that Tao Xiao Su did not know who was behind the scenes, she could not feel at ease.

"Can you tell me who ordered you to do this? I need to know who it is so that I can take precautions, right?"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and told Tao Xiaozui, "The problem is Ye Yuan in your shop."

"Ye Yuan?"

In that case, Ye Yuan's guess was correct. It was Chen Mingxi.

She was the only one who thought of ways to be together with Ye Yuan. She didn't fall for Third Young Master Chen's trick.

"It's Chen Mingxi?"

After returning to the shop, before Tao Xiaozui could ask about Second Young Master Tao, she saw Third Young Master Tao sitting there with a serious expression.

Tao Xiaosu walked up to him and asked, "Daddy, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Just now, your second uncle came and said..."

Sure enough, after getting rid of those people with great difficulty, he was still unable to escape from Tao Lao Er.

"Did second uncle come to borrow money from you?"

Tao Lao San had a surprised expression as he looked at Tao Xiaozui, "How did you know?"

Tao Xiaosui solemnly reminded Third Brother Tao: "You must not lend money to Second Uncle. He came to borrow money from you because he was in debt at the casino."

"Borrowing money is something that will never end as long as it happens once. There is no saving the poor from an emergency. Second uncle is such a gambler, when will he be able to repay it?"

Third Brother Tao was a soft-hearted person, especially towards his brothers. Usually, he would agree to anything after a few good words from them.

Tao Xiaosui saw Tao Laosan's worried look and could not help but worry that he had been tricked by Tao Laosan.

"Daddy, you didn't lend him the money, did you?"

Third Brother Tao's stuttering manner made Tao Xiaozui even more worried.

"I didn't lend him any money, but I promised him that I would come back later to take it. There isn't much silver left in the store, so I have to go home to get it before I can lend it to him."

Tao Xiaosui was relieved, "It's good that you didn't lend it to him. If second uncle comes to the shop again, tell him to come find me. Daddy can't refuse him, I'm not that easy to talk to. "

Tao Laosan's stuttering made Tao Xiaosui even more worried.

"I didn't lend him any money, but I promised him that I would come back later to take it. There isn't much silver left in the store, so I have to go home to get it before I can lend it to him."

Tao Xiaosui was relieved, "It's good that you didn't lend it to him. If second uncle comes to the shop again, tell him to come find me. Daddy can't refuse him, I'm not that easy to talk to. "

As expected, not long after, Second Brother Tao came into the shop. Seeing that Third Brother Tao wasn't there, he walked up to greet him.

"Xiaoshu, you told me to come look for him. Why isn't he in the shop?"
