Chapter 399 Corpse Turned into Silver
Zhao Ming pondered for a while, then said, "Then let's skip Ping'an Town and I'll take you to a deserted island to hide for a while?"
Upon hearing this, the mother and son reacted strongly.
"No way! Those deserted islands are deserted, with no food or water. People get sunburned during the day and freeze to death at night. What if a poisonous snake bites Yaobang at night?"
Du Hehua shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and Du Yaobang shook his head in response.
"Exactly! It's a deserted island, no one lives there! I'm not going! I'll be all alone on the island... I'm scared, what if there are ghosts at night? I'll get eaten! I'm not going!"
Du Yaobang shrank his neck, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
Looking at his cowardly and irresponsible appearance, Zhao Ming felt a surge of extreme disappointment and disgust.
He looked his son, who was already thirteen years old and almost as tall as him, up and down with a cold and mocking gaze.
"Ah……"
Zhao Ming let out a short, cold laugh, his laughter filled with disdain.
"Danger? Now you know you should be afraid? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you gambled? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you lent money at exorbitant interest rates?"
Zhao Ming forced himself to stand up despite the pain in his lower back, and looked at the two idiots in front of him.
"Okay. I'm not going. You can stay home and wait."
"It doesn't matter if someone chops off your hand or breaks your leg."
"In short, from now on, you can forget about getting a single copper coin from me to fill your hole."
"You brought this on yourself, so you have to bear the consequences!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at the mother and child in front of him, and staggered out, supporting his waist.
Hearing the noise, Aunt Gou Dan from next door quickly lowered her head. Zhao Ming looked up at the stone wall and sneered.
Ultimately, they couldn't stop Aunt Gou Dan's actions.
Seeing Zhao Ming slam the door and leave, she scurried out of the house like a nimble mouse and rushed to the place where the village women often gathered.
"Wow! This is incredible! Can you guess what I just heard?"
She lowered her voice, her eyes wide, and vividly recounted the story of Du Yaobang's loan sharking.
“I’m just telling you this, but don’t spread it around, or Du Hehua will come and cause trouble for me again.”
Aunt Gou Dan appeared distressed, but in reality, she was eager to spread the news, and the other women echoed her sentiments.
"Alright, don't you know how to keep our mouths shut? We're keeping it under control, it won't get out."
Aunt Gou Dan smiled with satisfaction.
The news spread like wildfire, and in no time, a large part of the island knew about the terrible disaster that Du Yaobang had committed.
Xu Yiyi, who was about to leave, raised an eyebrow upon hearing the news.
Old Lu is quick on his feet.
The timing of this warning was perfect; it ignited a fire without burning it directly in front of them, putting pressure on the other side.
……
At Du Yaobang's house, after Zhao Ming left, Du Hehua slumped to the ground in a daze.
Zhao Ming's words were still ringing in her ears, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Her gaze unconsciously swept across the courtyard, passing over her daughter Xiaojun, who was already cold and stiff under the straw mat.
My gaze suddenly froze.
She suddenly jumped up and grabbed Du Yaobang's shoulder.
"My son! Don't be afraid! Mother has a way! Mother has a way to get the money!"
Du Hehua's tone suddenly became excited.
"Don't worry, just wait patiently! Your mother will continue searching for someone to send your sister away as soon as possible! With the money, we can pay off our debts and save you!"
Yaobang was startled by his mother's appearance and stared at her blankly.
Du Hehua released her son, and with a morbid urgency, rushed out the door, muttering nervously:
"Yes! Find the Li family! If that doesn't work, try someone else! Someone will definitely want it! We have to go right away..."
She didn't even bother to tidy her disheveled hair; only one thought occupied her mind: to quickly turn the corpse in the yard into silver to save her precious son.
But as soon as she stepped out of the yard, she burst into tears.
He turned and ran back into the yard, patting the straw mat with his hands.
"It's all your fault! Why did you have to die now of all times..."
That silly boy from the Li family likes Xiao Jun. If Xiao Jun hadn't died, she might have been able to get this money from the Li family.
While the mother and son were in a panic, Xu Yiyi led Wu Yuan onto a small boat and headed towards the town.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw an arrogant attitude.
"How was it? Well done, wasn't it?"
Old Lu leaned closer, seeking praise, and Xu Yi nodded slightly.
Place the five abysses on the bamboo mat.
"How was this handled? Does Du Yaobang really owe that much money?"
Xu Yi asked curiously.
Old Lu waved his hand, "Wang Dafa and I are old acquaintances. It was just a setup."
Lao Lu turned around and sat down in Xu Yiyi's special rocking chair.
"That kid is addicted to gambling. He went to the gambling den again last night. I had Wang Dafa's men deliberately lose a few rounds to him. He made quite a bit of money, but unfortunately, he didn't know when to stop and lost it all again. After losing a lot of money, he wanted to turn things around, so he borrowed a large sum of money after being persuaded by others."
Old Lu almost burst out laughing; the people who came with him weren't any better.
It was only thanks to someone's advice that this kid didn't even think of borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates.
