. âAfter exchanging a glance, the Shi brothers saw Chuanâs whole body swollen beyond recognition.
âIt hurts so much, my internal organs ache⦠Shi Cai was too ruthlessâ¦â Chuan clutched his belly with a look of near-death, âIf I die from this pain, I must become a ghost and make Shi Cai compensate for my lifeâ¦â
Sensing the situation going awry, Shi Fang sheepishly said, âSecond Brother
Xiao, we have other things to do, so weâll leave firstâ¦â
Xiao Yishan blocked their way with his iron arm, âThat easy? You guys attacked first, and now you want to slip away? Look at my third brother, heâs half dead. Pay his medical bills, or donât even think about leaving!â
A group of relatives from the Shi Family were also cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Since the Shi brothers were in the wrong, nobody would stand up for them.
âYou must pay Chuanâs medical billsâ¦â Aunt Zhang also added her support.
âYouâre all wrong and still brought so many people, you canât bully people like this, quickly pay up!â More villagers continued to discuss and despised the Shi brothers.
Shi Fang and Shi Mu regretted their actions deeply; they would not have come if they had known this would happen. They initially thought that Xiao Yishan would certainly be out hunting, leaving only Xiao Yuchuan and a mute daughter-in-law, along with the Xiao Familyâs fourth son with a crippled leg. Even if the Xiao Family couldnât come up with the money, they planned to forcibly take the Xiao Familyâs daughter-in-law and sell her to pay their debts.
No matter how undesirable the wife of the Xiao Family was, she was still a woman. If Old Lady Liu didnât buy her, they could still sell her to other human traders for five to eight taels. They never expected the situation to turn out like thisâ¦
âSecond Brother Xiao, you seeâ¦â Shi Fang said with a grieved face, âOur Shi Family also has a hard time making ends meet. We have many mouths to feedthe old and the young. My brother Shi Cai loves food and is lazy, heâs ruining the family. We really donât have any spare moneyâ¦â
âNo money, so you donât need to pay? â Xiao Yishan snorted, âMy Xiao Familyâs situation is much worse than yours, yet we didnât see you people stop coming.â
âThisâ¦â Shi Fang chuckled awkwardly and said, âHow about⦠we offer a hundred copper coins⦠â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOne tael of silver, and weâre square.â Xiao Yishanâs face was cold.
âOne tael of silverâ¦â Shi Fang wailed, âSecond Brother Xiao, youâre slaughtering us! â
âHow amusing,â Xiao Yishanâs voice was cold, âWhen you guys from Shi Family come, you directly ask for dozens of taels, and I only want one taelâ¦â
âItâs because we Imew you guys didnât have money and would haggle, so we had to quote higherâ¦â
âEnough with the nonsense. I donât have time for you to haggle. Today, itâs either you pay one tael of silver, orâ¦â
Their faces lit up a bit, but before they could celebrate, Xiao Yishan continued, âDid you see Chuan just now? Iâll beat one of you two brothers into that shape, and weâll be even.â
The Shi brothersâ faces turned pale, realizing that they might not be able to heal even after spending dozens of taels. They wouldnât stand a chance in a one-on-one fight against Yishan, the fierce man. Just look at Zhao Shugen, who was thrown out earlier.
They craned their necks to look and saw that Zhao Shugen, who was thrown outside the courtyard, had already fled without a trace long ago.
âPlease, Second Brother Xiao, can we make it a little lessâ¦â Shi Fang tried to negotiate as much as possible.
Xiao Yishan grew impatient, âEnough with the nonsense. Either both of you brothers fight me together, and if you win, we forget this ever happened.â His massive iron fist clenched, the âcrackâ sound of his knuckles was crystal clear, scaring everyone present into silence.
âAlright, alright⦠weâll pay, weâll payâ¦â Shi Fang swallowed his saliva, âSecond Brother Xiao, we didnât bring any money with us, and thereâs no ready cash at home, how about we deliver it another dayâ¦. â
