Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 22

Seeing him walking away, the little fellow took a sip to the side: "Hey, grandson! Let me let you be proud for a few days, and come into our place, you have to call me grandpa!"

The young man brushed off his sleeves, and just turned around to walk in, when a figure suddenly appeared beside him.Xia Junyan smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother, is the shopkeeper of your gambling shop here?"

"Grandma, I'm scared to death!" The boy gave a bad look.The women who come to the gambling house, especially the little girls who are dressed in trembling clothes, are all forced to sell themselves by the old man who owes money.Thinking of this, the man smiled evilly: "Hey, what kind of veil does the lady wear, do you really think you are Miss Da?"

"You have an ugly face, I can't bear to stain your eyes, brother." Xia Junyan bowed her head.

"Get out!" The boy waved impatiently, "Don't stand in the way of Grandpa's business!"

"Brother, please be accommodating!" Xia Junyan's heart broke, and she shouted at the top of her voice, "I'm from the Xia family in Shuanghe Village, and I'm here to pay back the money!!"

"Hey! You little girl is in a hurry to hit someone!" The little boy raised his hand angrily and was about to hit someone, Xia Junyan dodged like a monkey.There was a lot of movement outside the door, but it still alarmed the boss of the casino.

Two middle-aged men came out, one fat and the other lean.

Seeing the two people coming out, the little boy quickly smiled again, and first bowed to the fat man: "Second master, why did you always startle me, you should be beaten!" Looking at the thin middle-aged man next to him, he winked, "Liu Tou, this girl is from the Xia family in Shuanghe Village."

This person's name is Liu Wu, with triangular eyes and a sallow complexion. He is a spectator in the casino and sometimes goes out to collect debts.He is responsible for chasing the Xia family's debts, and the head of the gambling shop generally does not interfere with the actions of his subordinates, giving him a greater degree of freedom.

Liu Wu naturally knew Xia Junyan, so he immediately pulled her to him: "Your father owes money to the gambling house, and the principal and interest are a total of 120 yuan! We are kind-hearted, wiped the three money for you, and there are 120 yuan left. Eight taels, it is only natural to pay back the debt! Pay back the money!"

Xia Junyan bent down again and again, crying: "Master Liu, you know my family. My father sold everything that could be sold, and my mother followed. The farmer will not be able to spend more than 100 taels of silver in three lifetimes! Even if you sell me, I'm not worth 100 taels!"

Liu Wu spat: "Bah! Just you country girl who still wants to sell 100 taels! Shameless thing, you treat you as a little red card in the building!"

The second boss looked a little impatiently: "Since there is no money to pay back, then according to the old rules, just send it to the old lady to come and see the person, and how many taels can be sold!"

"I thought so too. Last time I went to the village and let this stinky girl run away. I didn't expect that she would deliver it to my door today! Be more obedient so I won't suffer!"

Liu Wu dragged Xia Junyan to the backyard of the casino. He thought that Xia Junyan would struggle like those girls before, but she didn't expect that she didn't resist at all.I also saw that Xia Junyan's face was covered with a tattered rag, which was really in the way. A country girl also imitated the appearance of a lady in the city, and even covered her face when she went to the street, so she uncovered it easily.

"You, you, you... what's going on with your face!!"

A few people standing opposite gasped, and the second-in-charge even opened a folding fan to block his eyes, and couldn't bear to look directly.
