In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

In front of Ling Chu was a dilapidated mud house with three rooms.

The yard is surrounded by a wooden fence, and seven or eight chicks are pecking in the yard.

Looking at the situation, Ling Chu is not sure whether he can complete the debt collection task this time, and it always feels a bit mysterious.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen..."

Zhou Wu yelled several times through the wooden fence, but no one answered.

Perhaps it was the movement here that alarmed the neighbors. An old lady in a earth blue gown came out from the opposite house, "Zhou Wu, are you here to collect debts again?"

Although the old lady was asking Zhou Wu, her eyes kept looking curiously at Ling Chu who was wearing a Taoist robe.

Zhou Wu sighed, frowned and smiled wryly, "Recently, my mother has been so ill that she can't get up, and the family really can't afford the money, so I can only come to Uncle Chen to ask for the debt."

"By the way, Mrs. Gu, do you know if Uncle Chen is at home? I've been shouting for a long time, but no one answered."

Aunt Gu shook her head, "I haven't seen him in the past two days, and I don't know if he has gone out."

Ling Chu glanced at the chickens that were pecking in the courtyard, pushed aside the wooden fence and walked in without saying anything.

"Oh, Chen Daohe is not at home, so it's not good for you, a Taoist nun, to just go in like this?" Mrs. Gu frowned. Where did this Taoist nun come from, and she didn't understand the slightest etiquette.

Ling Chuyi pointed to the rotten vegetable leaves that the old hen was pecking at in the yard, "These chickens are being fed by others, so it is unlikely that no one is at home. After shouting for a long time and no one comes out, something must have happened. Zhou Wu, go in quickly." have a look."

Hearing Ling Chu's words, Aunt Gu was not sure for a while.Chen Daohe is so old, he is alone at home, don't be in poor health, and no one will know if he faints in the room.

It would be safer to let Zhou Wu go in and have a look.

Seeing Ling Chu and Zhou Wu both walked into the courtyard, Aunt Gu hesitated for a moment, then came over.If something happened to Chen Daohe, she would be able to help him.

The three of them were about to leave the house, but suddenly they heard a creak, the closed wooden door opened, and an old man with wrinkled face came out frowning.

"Zhou Wu, didn't you just come here the day before yesterday, why did you come here again today?"

"Uncle Chen, my mother is so sick that she can't get up anymore, and the family really can't afford the money to treat her. There is really no way. When you borrowed my 200 taels, you promised to pay me back in half a year. It's been a year and a half, you should pay me back, right?"

"Zhou Wu, it's not that I don't want to pay back the money, it's just that I can't get it out. I'm a widowed old man, and my family has no income. Where do I have any money, I almost have nothing to eat.

Zhou Wu frowned furiously, repeating the same rhetoric.He came to ask for money several times, and Chen Daohe did this every time.

"Uncle Chen, you're lying. You obviously have money, but you don't want to return it to me."

Being accused of lying in front of outsiders, the expression on Chen Daohe's face immediately changed from helplessness to anger, "Zhou Wu, this person can't do this, when did I lie?
There is only such a dilapidated house left in my family. If you have the heart to see me sleeping on the street, you can take the house away, and you can also take the chickens in the yard. Anyway, I am such a lonely old man, and no one will feel sorry for me if I starve to death . "

As Chen Daohe spoke, the anger on his face disappeared, and instead he squatted on the ground wiping away his tears.

Aunt Gu couldn't bear it, "Zhou Wu, what you Uncle Chen said is right, he is the only one left in his family, and there is no land, how can he get so much money?"

Zhou Wu almost laughed out of anger.

"You have no money? The store opened by your son receives a lot of money every month. He also bought a big house, called slaves and maidservants, and enjoyed delicious food and spicy food, but I was so unwilling to pay back the 200 taels."

"Zhou Wu, you can't poke my heart just because I can't pay you back the money. Everyone knows that my son has been in an accident for two or three years. If he is still alive, how can I not give you the money?" Give it back to you."

Seeing that Chen Daohe was still crying so miserably at such an old age, Aunt Gu couldn't bear it anymore, "Zhou Wu, you can't get money to see your mother, so you can't talk nonsense if you are in a hurry. Chen Dahe's son has accidents like that. It’s been a long time, why do you still mention him.”

The noise here has already attracted a lot of people to stand in front of the wooden fence to watch the excitement. When they saw it at this time, they all started talking about it.

Chen Daohe's wife has been gone for several years, he has no daughter, only one son.

Three years ago, Chen Daohe's son, Chen Yu, found two partners to form a partnership and planned to open a silk and satin shop.He heard that the price of silk and satin in the south was cheap, so he took the money contributed by his two partners and the money borrowed from relatives and neighbors, and went to the south by boat to buy goods.

Unexpectedly, on the way, Chen Yu's boat encountered a big storm, and he accidentally fell into the big river and was washed away by the big wave.

As a result, the person disappeared, and the money he carried with him naturally disappeared.

Many people knew about this matter, Zhou Wu couldn't get the money, and everyone could understand that he was anxious, but he really shouldn't mention Chen Yu to poke Chen Daohe's heart.

Hearing everyone's accusations, Zhou Wu trembled with anger, "You are all deceived, Chen Daohe's son is not dead. He opened a silk and satin shop in Huaifu, and his business is booming. The day of summoning the servant girl."

He pointed to the four-room brick house on the right, "Uncle Chen, don't think I don't know, Chen Yu bought all of Liu Che's house for you to live in."

Seeing that everyone followed Zhou Wu's finger in surprise and looked towards Liu Che's house.

Annoyance flashed across Chen Daohe's wrinkled face, he sat down on the ground, and burst into tears, "Son, why did you leave at such a young age, leaving a lonely old man like me alone and helpless, Now being bullied to my door, I can't survive..."

Ling Chu put away the system, but he was also speechless to Chen Daohe, did he intend to imitate the old lady who cried, made trouble and hanged himself?Crying so miserably, if she didn't have a system, she might have been cheated.

The howl made her forehead hurt, so Ling Chu simply took out the small hammer and swung it vigorously without saying a word.

The sudden loud noise startled everyone.

Even Chen Daohe was so shocked that he forgot to cry.

When he followed the sound and saw the two locked door panels fell on the ground, Chen Daohe was even more startled.

Ling Chu raised his feet and walked towards the house.

Chen Daohe's wrinkled face was covered with clouds.

Quickly got up from the ground, picked up the big broom at the side, Chen Daohe rushed straight towards Ling Chu, raised the broom in his hand and smashed it down on the back of her head.

"Miss Ling, be careful..."

Zhou Wu was so frightened by this incident that his face changed drastically, and he wanted to rush forward to stop him.
