"Sigh!"

Sighing deeply, Nona felt an indescribable pleasure in her heart. She never thought that Gu Yu would be so ruthless. She could vaguely hear it from the mouths of the bystanders. It turned out that she had hurriedly packed up her things and left with Gu Jinyu while she was in the Xu family. In other words, he had been abandoned and turned into a person.

However, no matter what, he still had to live his life.

Although the house was a bit rotten, it was still able to shelter from the wind and rain. It was better than not having a place to go. However, he still had to clean up the mess, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to stay here.

"Well, I didn't think I'd ever have such a day."

As she cleaned up the mess, she could not help but smile wryly.

Originally, he had been thinking about how he could earn money and how he could live a good life with them.

However, he didn't expect that before he thought of a way to earn money, the other person would abandon him.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

It wasn't easy to collect all the messy things in the room, so Nona was tired to the point of perspiration. She was just about to take a good rest before she continued, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of someone kicking the door. Hearing that voice, she knew that it was not friendly and was startled, but …

The door of her house was made of only two pieces of wood. If she didn't go out, she would definitely be kicked to pieces. Therefore, she didn't dare to delay and ran out. "Coming, coming! Wait a minute!"

Although the door was a bit crappy, it was still a door. If it really was broken, she wouldn't have the ability to get it out. Now that he was alone, having a door was better than nothing.

"Huh?" Who are you? "Who are you looking for?"

When she opened the door, she was startled by the scene outside. She saw more than ten men standing at the door, each of them looking unfriendly.

There was no need for them to open their mouths, as Jiu Niang knew these people definitely weren't good people. Alright … She was someone who had watched television before after all. From the looks of it, these guys were just like the bad guys in television. But... However, she couldn't understand. It seemed that she had never offended these people before, right?

Let alone himself, even Gu Yu's family probably wouldn't dare to offend these people, right? Their family had always been a well-behaved bunch. When had they ever provoked such a person?

"Hmph!" "Is this the Gu Clan?"

The man in the lead held a thick wooden stick in his hand as he viciously stared at Jiu Niang. There was a long scar on his face that made him look ferocious.

"Yes, yes, you, who are you looking for?"

Alright, she was really afraid that such a large rod would directly strike at her forehead. If it were to really strike down, then her head would immediately burst open like a blooming flower. It seemed like she was going to live for a few more days, so she naturally couldn't just lie to him like that.

"Hmph, as long as it's the Gu family!"

The man sneered and pushed her away.

Jiu Niang staggered. She lost her balance and nearly fell to the ground. However, the man acted as if he did not see it, only the man behind him said, "Go, take away all the valuable things!"

"Yes sir!"

"Good!"

Immediately, a dozen men filed in, not giving Nona any time to react.

By the time she could react, more than a dozen men had already entered the room.

Nona panicked and shouted, "What are you all doing? "This is my home, what you're doing is trespassing!"

"trespassing?"

The man in the lead stared coldly at Nona with the big wooden stick in his hand. He suddenly laughed, "Haha, haha, this is really interesting. This is the first time I, Hu San, have heard someone talk to me like this." "So what do you want!"

Hu San sneered coldly as he gave her a sidelong glance. He simply did not place a child like her in his eyes.

He, Hu San, had always been fearless. Not to mention those poor and powerful farmers, even those rich and powerful families, he, Hu San, was not afraid. Besides, it was only right and proper for him to repay the debts he owed. Even if he was at the yamen, he was not afraid in the slightest. But... Tsk tsk, in the past, those people who saw me were all scared shitless. But today, a little girl actually dared to call me a clown. How rare …

"You, you, you'd better leave quickly, or I'll go to the yamen and sue you!"

What did he want? What the hell, what could she do? Well, to put it bluntly, there was nothing she could do. Right now, he was the only one in the house, and he was a man with over a dozen men. He was the only one in the house, and he was a man with over a dozen men. But... However, he couldn't just sit by and watch these people barge into his house without caring about anything else.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the fear in her heart and tried her best to remain calm. "That's why I said you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Tsk tsk, this, is this a threat?

He really didn't think that he would be bullied by a little girl just because he was soft. Hu San quietly looked at Nona for a long time before suddenly laughing out loud. "Hahaha, haha, this is really interesting! This is the first time in all these years that I, Hu San, have been threatened like this. Moreover, it's a silly girl!"

Hu San had grown up outside, and because he wasn't afraid of death, he slowly made his name. Even the people outside feared him a bit, and even though he had slowly stopped fighting, they still didn't pay attention to him. This was the first time he had heard of such a threat …

"You … you …" "No, I'm just speaking the truth. You are trespassing into a house. I have no enmity with you. You bunch of men bullying a helpless little girl. What kind of heroes are you?"

Damn, it seems I met a tough guy.

Jiu Niang hadn't expected that such a sentence would scare her away. She wasn't even a woman with a role in the main character's halo, but … At that time, he didn't expect this guy to not care about him at all … Since it was broad daylight, although his family was quite a distance away from the village, at least there would be some people who would see it. Could it be that these people weren't worried at all? Although she did not know the criminal law of this era, it should still be able to kill people to repay their debt, right?

"Little girl, since you still have some guts, I'll reluctantly tell you about it." "Your mother borrowed twenty taels of silver from your father, and now that your mother has run away, your father has opened his doors to do business. He is not a good man!" Yes, Hu San had been hanging out outside in the past few years and gradually stopped. He started a high-interest business and a few days ago, Gu Yu had borrowed 20 taels of silver from him. But now that he was gone, he naturally wouldn't let it go so easily.

"What?" You... Are you kidding? "How could my mother do such a thing?!"

Needless to say, Jiu Niang knew that his so-called borrowing was definitely not a simple matter of borrowing money, but a usury!

However, these usury loans weren't so easy to borrow. Gu Yu was no fool, so how could he do such a thing?

"Heh heh, clever little girl, you can see it with just one glance!"

Hu San did not expect Jiu Niang to understand him so easily. He nodded in satisfaction as a trace of praise flashed across his eyes.

At that time, she told him that her son needed money urgently for the exam. He asked around and found out that Gu Jinyu was said to be a good person and was highly valued by Mister, but somehow he agreed to lend it out.

Initially, he thought that even if he failed the examination, the other party would still be a scholar after all, and it would be good to have a good relationship with him.

Even if he really couldn't pay up, he was a scholar after all. At that time, when he came home and worked as an accountant, it would be good for him to write and draw for him. He had been around since he was young, and had only known a few people who could read very little these days. In addition, all of them were very proud, so he didn't have any interest in people like this one; even if he had money, he wouldn't be able to invite them.

However, he didn't expect that only a few days after he borrowed the silver, he heard that Gu Yu took his son and ran away.

He ran away?

This was worse. He simply did not put him, Hu San, in his eyes, which was why he had hurriedly brought a group of brothers to find him.

"Boss, there's nothing!"

"Boss, there's nothing in there!"

Soon, all the men who had rushed in had returned. They looked around the Gu household, but didn't find anything of value. All of their faces were extremely unsightly.

All of this was within Jiu Niang's expectations. She was well aware of what was happening in her family. Originally, the slightly more valuable things were Gu Jinyu's pens, ink and paper. However, they had all taken them with them during their group chat, not even sparing a single piece of good clothing. What else could their families have?

"What?" You... "You useless things, how could it be possible!"

Hu San's expression immediately changed. How was this possible! What do you mean nothing!

This was a family, how could they not have anything!

"Eldest Brother, there's really nothing here!"

However, what they said was the truth. This family was extremely poor, and they didn't even have a grain of rice. It was likely that they didn't even want to live in a house like this, right? But... How could he let his son study in such a poor family?

Nowadays, studying was a very luxurious affair. People who could provide for their children to study at least had some background.

This was also why Hu San didn't hesitate to lend money to Gu Yu's family. At the very least, he should be able to support his son's studies. However, who would have thought …

"Hmph! Little girl, you'd better listen to me obediently!" Hu San stared at her coldly. His eyes were filled with anger, thinking that Hu San had been around since he was young, but all year round, he had been pecked in the eye by a goose. With one hand, he grabbed her collar and lifted her up, making her look at him directly: "Where's your mother?" Where's your brother? "You'd better be honest with yourself!"

"How would I know? I was looking for them."

"She shrugged helplessly and said gloomily," "They disappeared the moment I came back. If you find them, please let me know."

Alright, she meant what she said sincerely, she didn't mean to anger Hu San on purpose.

She really wanted to see Gu Yu's face, at least, to know why she was doing this to her. Was she really her daughter?

"You …." What did you say? "Little girl, I see that you are truly dishonest. Do you believe that I will sell you to a brothel!?"

She glared fiercely at Jiu Niang. Although this girl was dark and thin, and was worth three to five taels of silver, it was still better than nothing.
