Chapter 1613 Honor Money and Hope

Dacao bowed deeply and begged.

"Please give me some more time, and I promise to return the copper coins to you with interest."

The Osaku family is one of the members of the shogunate, and Ossa himself works in the Ashikaga Huis, and is honored as the general of the Ashikaga generals for generations.

But at this time, Dacao was standing in front of the wine house, facing the humble townspeople and merchants, deeply bowing his noble head.

The reason is simple. In order to maintain the family's livelihood, she owed the other party a lot of money.What's even more frightening is that winter has just begun, and the family is out of food again.

In order for his family to survive this winter, Dacao had to come to the merchant house again and begged the merchant to lend him more money to buy some food for his family.

In front of her, a rich old woman in thick clothes shook her stubby fingers.

"Big Grass Girl, this is not acceptable.

Even if you don't pay back the principal, at least you have to pay back some interest, right?Not even willing to pay interest, isn't it a bit too much? "

With a dry throat, Dacao said in a low voice.

"Boss Kamemaru, when I get my salary, I will pay back the money as soon as possible. I swear by the reputation of the Dacao family, please believe me!"

Boss Kamemaru sighed.

"Okay, I'll trust you again."

After speaking, she turned around and was about to enter the shop.

Dacao gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Please wait!"

Boss Kamemaru turned his head to look at her, with a playful light in his eyes, as if he knew that Dacao would stop him.

"what happened again?"

Dacao let out a deep breath.

"Can you, can you lend me some more money?"

Boss Kamemaru showed a mocking smile.

"Big Grass Girl, this is your fault. I have already tolerated your loan period, why are you pushing further?
There are loans and repayments, and it is not difficult to borrow again. You should at least repay the previous money first, and then talk about the next loan, right? "

Dacao sighed and bowed again.

"I'm very sorry, but please help me."

Boss Kamemaru gave a disdainful look.

"When the general was in Kyoto, you noble Ashikagai already lost their jobs.

Now that General Nishikari is leaving Beijing, how can you guarantee that you will have the money to pay back?
Big Grass Girl, you are a noble warrior Ji, the oath you made with the honor of your family, you can't be fooling me, right? "

Dacao's eyes turned red, and the self-esteem damaged by bowing his knees in front of merchants finally couldn't bear the humiliation of his family name, and he drew his sword and cursed.

"Bageya Road! Don't go too far!"

Boss Kamemaru was taken aback. Seeing the shining knife, she couldn't help trembling.

Fortunately, the two wild samurai hired by her were in front, and they also drew their swords towards the big grass.

"Big Grass Girl, put down your weapon first, and speak up if you have something to say!"

Dacao cursed with red eyes.

"You are also Warrior Ji, you didn't hear that she is humiliating the family honor of a warrior!"

The two wild samurai looked at Dacao coldly and didn't speak.

They are just homeless wild samurai hired by boss Kamemaru.If Boss Kamemaru gets injured here, he won't know where to eat his next meal, so why would he care about any honor.

Looking at the numb eyes of the two Ji warriors, Dacao gradually calmed down, thinking of her husband and children who were hungry at home, she could only return the knife and sighed.

"Boss Kamemaru, I swear, I will definitely pay back the money. But now, I really need the money, can you lend me some more, please."

Boss Kamemaru breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the grass clothes were soft, and she felt that the crotch pants were a little damp, and her face looked bad.

"Hey, the impulsive big grass has also learned to calm down. What makes you smart? Is it the power of poverty?

Unfortunately, I don't want to lend money to someone who draws a knife on me. "

With a desperate expression on Dacao's face, he turned dejectedly and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Boss Kamemaru's words brought a glimmer of hope to Oakusa's eyes, and she slowly turned her head to look at Boss Kamemaru.

Boss Kamemaru said with a superficial smile.

"Actually, it's not impossible to borrow, I have two options here, you can choose one of them.

One, I heard that your son is very handsome, educated, and has a good temperament.I am very familiar with the owner Natsume in the verandah, so I can introduce you to work there.

Boss Natsume is a very generous person, as long as you are willing to let your son go to her to help, she will definitely pay back the money for you. "

Dacao widened his eyes.

"My son won't go to the veranda! The man from Dacao's family shouldn't be some dirty wandering boy!"

Boss Kamemaru pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered.

"Then there is only one way left, you kneel down and beg me.

As long as you kneel down in front of me sincerely and beg me to help you, I, a merciful person, will definitely agree to you. "

The breathing of the big grass became heavier and heavier, and the eyes became redder and redder. The two wild warriors who protected Boss Kamemaru were already vigilantly holding the handle of the knife, lest the big grass would explode and hurt people.

Boss Kamemaru said with a smile.

"Think about your husband, think about your children, think about how they are going to get through this cold winter.

Think about it carefully, as long as you kneel down and kowtow, I will give you money, and I can even give you a little more salt, how about big grass, have you thought it through? "

Dacao's eyes were full of despair.

A lowly businessman uttered nonsense in front of her, tarnished her family name, humiliated her son, forced her to kneel and kowtow, and kept saying that he was helping her.

What the hell is going on in this world?Is this world still the world of the Wu family?

Dacao clenched her fists tightly and her veins bulged, but she couldn't draw the knife.

As Boss Kamemaru said, she has a husband, she has children, she is the most vulnerable group of people in society, and she is full of weaknesses.

A disgusting businessman like Kamemaru who dares to lend money in the castle town must have a background behind him.No matter which big shot in the shogunate is behind her, Dacao can't afford to offend her.

General Ashikaga's family has collapsed, and Yoshiaki Ashikaga, a poor official, has run away by himself. As a loyal dog of Ashikaga, what dignity does Ashikaga Huishu have?

The lost dog is so bleak.

On one side is the sense of honor of the shogunate samurai family, on the other side is the hungry and cold family members, Dacao's sense of honor, Dacao's bottom line, seems to be smashed to pieces at this moment.

Her knees were too stiff to kneel, but reality was bending her legs little by little.

As Boss Kamemaru said, poverty makes people smart. Once you kneel down, you will never be able to stand up. Smart people are willing to do anything for money.

Maybe tomorrow's big grass will be like these two wild warriors who are protecting the merchants in order to eat, laughing at the honor of the past and becoming a slave to money.

The decline of morality and the decay of society may start from the moment when the dignity of the poor is completely trampled on.

When people no longer have a bottom line in front of money, the morality of the entire society will be lowered.

Boss Kamemaru watched Dacao kneeling down little by little, and his heart was filled with the joy of conquering.

This is the worst era, and it is also the best era. It is precisely because of the troubled times that merchants like her can make the Wu family bow their heads and dare to trample on the dignity of the Wu family.

What is led by the shogunate samurai, what is based on the Ji warrior group, it is all fart!Ideals are all lies, only money, and money is real!
Under the distorted smile of Boss Kamemaru, when Okusa's knee was about to touch the ground, there was a sound from behind her.

"Mother!"

Dacao's heart that was about to sink suddenly picked up again.It was her son's voice!
She was very flustered, she didn't want her son to see the humiliating scene of herself kneeling in front of the merchant.

After all, Dacao's knee did not touch the ground, she stood up again, and looked behind her.Behind her, a thin and yellow boy was leaning on the threshold and looking at her.

"Xiao Shi, why are you here?

It's cold, you don't have much on, what are you doing in the castle town?What about your father?How does he take care of you! "

Dacao was eager to cover the child with something, but she was also wearing thin clothes, shivering slightly in the cold wind.

In desperation, Dacao could only hug the child tightly, trying to keep the child warm with his own body temperature.

But Xiao Shi was very excited, her little face was bright red, and she shouted to Dacao.

"Mom, go back quickly, father asked me to come to you and distribute food! Food is being distributed from door to door, this year's new rice!"

Dacao trembled all over, and asked.

"What food? Where did the food come from?"

Where does the child know so much, he just keeps urging.

"Go back quickly! Mom! Let's go back and collect food!"

Dacao pulled the child up, and the mother and son hurriedly ran down the street, full of hope.

Behind them, Boss Kamemaru said to the two guarding wild samurai with a gloomy expression.

"Let's go and have a look."
