Chapter 202 Save Dad!
Following Mrs. Tang's roar, everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Tang's hand.
Of the five fingers, the little finger is missing and blood is oozing out, which is shocking to the eye.
Sun suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed Tang Laoda's hand and burst into tears, "Boss, Boss. Who chopped off your fingers?"
Tang Boss screamed in pain and threw Sun away fiercely, "Shut up!"
He was in great pain all over, cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and the smell on his body became more and more unpleasant, causing Tang Yaozu and the others to unconsciously take a step back, covering their noses with a look of disgust.
Just as Mrs. Tang was about to start scolding, Mr. Tang knelt down at her feet and begged, "My son is unfilial. Mother, please save me, please save me."
With tears and snot streaming down his face, Don stammered as he told us what had happened in the past two days.
It turned out that day he took the two taels of silver given by Old Lady Tang and was going to the town to ask where there were powerful half-immortals. Who knew that when he passed by a gambling house, his hands itched! He felt that two taels of silver was definitely not enough, so he thought of gambling to earn more money before hiring someone.
At the beginning he was quite cautious and won several times, and almost turned two taels of silver into three taels. Who knew that the more he gambled, the less he could get it back, and the more greedy he became, the more he betted.
The more you bet, the more you earn. After a while, seeing that he had earned nearly ten taels of silver, Boss Tang finally made up his mind and gambled all the money, but ended up losing.
He lost so much money that he felt that if he still had money, he would be able to win back more. So he borrowed money from the gambling house, borrowed money and gambled, and in the end he didn't win a cent and still owed 100 taels.
He couldn't pay it back and wanted to run away, but was caught by the people from the gambling house, who chopped off his fingers and demanded him to pay back one hundred taels plus ten taels of interest within three days. He didn't dare go home and just hid in the dilapidated temple where he lived before. Who knew that someone from the gambling house was watching him, and when they saw that he didn't go home to get the money, they found someone to beat him up and then let him go.
Boss Tang knew that if he didn't go home to raise money, he would die in a dilapidated temple and no one would know, so he held his breath and ran back home.
Before Mrs. Tang finished listening, she was already very angry. If it weren't for Mrs. Wu beside her supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
"How dare you borrow money from the gambling house? One hundred taels at that!" Old Mrs. Tang turned pale and hit Old Man Tang on the head without any mercy, again and again as if she was venting her anger.
Sun, who was standing next to them, cried out of heartache, but did not dare to stop them.
Tang Yueling's face turned even paler. His father owed him one hundred taels. One hundred taels. What should he do? What should he do?
"Dad! You are stupid! How could you go to the gambling house? And pay back the hundred taels? We don't even have ten taels of silver, how can we pay it back?" Tang Yaozu shouted in fear.
Wu pulled Tang Lao Er's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Boss, what should we do?"
"Shh! Don't talk!"
Even if the sky falls, there’s still Old Lady Tang to hold it up!
Old Mrs. Tang was tired from beating, so she sat down on a chair and gasped for air. "There is no money at home, you have to find a way!"
"Mom, no! Please save our son! Otherwise they will take his life! Mom!" Big Brother Tang hugged Old Lady Tang's thighs and refused to let go.
Just as everyone in the house was crying, a ferocious and rough male voice was heard from the door.
"Does Tang Dashan live here? Where is Tang Dashan? Come out quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" The leading big man stopped a villager who was about to go home and questioned him. The villager was so scared that he trembled and pointed at the thatched hut.
It was this villager who ran to the door of the Tang family and shouted that something had happened in the Tang family.
When the villagers rushed over, they saw the big man grabbing Boss Tang by the collar and dragging him on the ground repeatedly, shouting, "One hundred taels of loan money plus ten taels of interest, hurry up and give it to me!"
The knife was placed on Boss Tang's neck in an instant, and everyone was so scared that they gasped and covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound.
"Mom, save me, save me!"
Old Lady Tang was helped out of the house. Looking at her eldest son who was shackled by the big man, she begged, "Please be kind. My family really can't afford this one hundred taels of silver!"
"It seems that you don't want him to be alive?" The big man glared and pressed down the knife in his hand. Blood beads immediately emerged from Don's neck.
"Ah——" Don was so scared that he wet his pants.
The others were also frightened and turned pale.
Mrs. Tang’s legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She hurriedly tried to stop him, “Wait… wait a minute.”
"Can you give us a few days so we can get it together, okay?" After all, he was her eldest son, how could she watch him die with her own eyes!
"I'll give you half an hour." The big man put away his knife and kicked Tang Lao Da fiercely. "If I don't see the silver in half an hour, this day next year will be his death anniversary."
"Mom, please go and borrow some! Quickly! Yaozu, please help dad, help dad. You don't want to be a fatherless child, do you?" Old Tang's thighs were so weak that he couldn't stand up. He simply knelt on the ground and begged.
Tang Yaozu curled his lips, "Dad, why didn't you think of us when you ran out to gamble? Now people are coming home to collect debts, where can we get so much money to pay them back!"
Sun cried out and rushed to Boss Tang, raising his fist and hitting his chest repeatedly, "You are confused, you are confused!"
At this time, Tang Yueling was exposed. The big man looked at her with shining eyes, "Ahem..."
"If you can't come up with the silver, you can use other things as collateral." As he spoke, the big man noticed the sisters Tang Taohua and Lanhua. There were actually three pretty girls in this family. It was not a wasted trip!
Tang Yueling sensed an unfriendly gaze falling on her, and shrank back to hide behind Old Lady Tang.
Tang's eyes lit up. "Tell me, tell me what you can use to compensate for it."
"Looking at how shabby your house is, I'm afraid you can't even come up with the ten taels of interest. I'm kindhearted and I won't force you." The big man raised his neck and said, "How about this, just give your three daughters to our gambling house, and we'll give you the one hundred taels and the interest."
What! Using daughters to pay off debts? Three daughters at that?
Even Mrs. Tang, who favors boys over girls, was frightened by these words, and Mrs. Wu was even more frightened and stood in front of her two daughters.
The villagers looked at each other with shock and fear in their eyes. This is too inhumane!
"I'll give you a cup of tea to think about it. If you're willing, follow me immediately. If not, I'll collect his body after a cup of tea!"
