What if all the men in the village came to help him?

“Shameless Zhang, my second brother only owes your gambling house some money! Do you need to hit women and children? Do you still want to live in the county? I’ll tell you today. It’s fine if you don’t hit the women of the Gu family, but I’ll return the money with both hands. Now that you’ve hit someone, I won’t give you the money! If you’re so capable, why don’t you fight with me?”

Gu Shouxin’s eldest brother, Gu Shouren, slammed his hoe on the ground and spoke fiercely.

“That… Boss Gu! I didn’t fight at all. Who knows what kind of madness that woman and that wretched girl went through? In the past, we usually beat up Second Brother Gu. Do you think we’ve ever hit a woman? Also, the silver that Second Brother Gu owes this time isn’t like before. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to pay it back with both hands.”

The debt collector was frightened by Gu Shouren’s appearance, but he couldn’t refuse the money just because he was frightened. If he went back, he would be even more miserable.

“You hit my second aunt and sister. That’s your fault. Now their foreheads are bleeding. You must pay back the money!”

The eldest daughter of the eldest branch, Gu Hui, had a sickle in one hand and a shoulder pole in the other. After checking Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian’s other places, she stood next to her father and said.

“Yes, pay up!”

Gu En, the youngest son of the eldest house, who was only a few months younger than Gu Xin, also stood by his sister’s side.

“We’ve paid for the medicine. Besides, Second Brother is in debt with your gambling house.”

Gu Shouli, the eldest son of the Gu family, looked much more composed, but he also supported his nieces and nephews.

Gu Shouxin looked at the host’s brothers and nieces. He could not understand what the host was thinking. This family seemed to be quite good, so why would he be stupid enough to gamble?

Gambling relied not only on luck, but also on brains.

The biggest reason the host lost money was that the host was brainless.

He habitually walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and walked to the debt collector. “Two taels of medicine money, three hundred taels of gambling debt. Ten days, ten days later, I’ll pay you back.”

“Who do you think you are? Pay two taels of silver. Ten days later, you… Aiya, aiya, aiya, it hurts! Gently, gently.”

The debt collector wanted to swear, but Gu Shouxin grabbed him by the arm in the opposite direction, which hurt him badly.

“Yes, the medicine money has been given. Gambling debts… Gambling debts, what? Second Brother! You actually owe 300 taels of gambling debts!”

Gu Shouren said the words before he reacted. Three hundred taels, he was so scared that his mouth could swallow a whole egg.

Gu En ran over and said excitedly, “Uncle, you should have taken care of them before! Every time you got beaten up, I secretly despised you for a long time!”

He had no concept of money. This year, he was ten years old, and he had at most two coins in his pocket. However, he was very excited when he saw his Second Uncle subdue the debt collector in one go.

When the debt collector was captured, his subordinates would definitely help, but Gu Shouren, Gu Shouli, and Gu Hui stopped him with their hoes, sickles, and poles.

“Ten days. I only need ten days at most. If you don’t believe me and insist on making things difficult for my family, then don’t blame me for being impolite today!”

Gu Shouxin increased his strength.

“Okay, okay, okay. Ten days, ten days. Big Brother, can you let me go?”

The debt collector felt that his arm was about to break, so he quickly agreed.

Gu Shouxin let him go.

“Second Brother Gu, don’t lie to us. Otherwise, when our Sixth Master comes, you will suffer.”

After moving his hands, the head debt collector regained a bit of his imposing manner. However, he did not have enough confidence. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

In the end, he was stopped by Gu Shouxin.
