Chapter 17 The debt collector is coming

Gu Fei wanted to fall asleep in a daze.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Fei was woken up by the strong smell of chicken soup.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Chunhua pushed the door open and came in, smiling: "Sister, you're awake. Mom has already prepared the meal. Can you get down to the ground?"

Gu Fei nodded, "Sister-in-law, give me a hand." If there was chicken soup to drink, she would crawl over it.

Gu Fei was helped to the main room, and the two teenagers ran over happily, "Sister, you are finally back."

 “Second brother, third brother.” Gu Fei called.

At this time, a little girl with two braids that reached the sky ran over and hugged Gu Fei's leg, "Sister-in-law, you are back."

Gu Fei looked down at Xiao Douding and smiled. This is Gu Qing's child, whose nickname is Xiaocao. He is only a little over three years old.

Li Chunhua hurriedly pushed her away, "Your sister-in-law is injured, please stay away."

Ms. Chen took a cushion and put it on the chair, and then Li Chunhua helped Gu Fei sit down.

 The whole family was also seated.

There is a pot of chicken, a stack of cornmeal pancakes, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of beans on the table. This is the extent of the New Year celebrations at home.

 Gu Fei's eyes narrowed as he smelled the aroma of chicken soup.

Xiaocao sat in Li Chunhua’s arms and clapped her hands, “Oh, it’s time to eat chicken, eat—”

“Hey, after redeeming a lost product, you actually kill the chicken and eat it?” Xiaocao’s cheerful words were interrupted by a sharp voice, and a middle-aged woman with a droopy face and a long green cloth dress walked in from the door.

Gu Zhang frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, my Xiaofei is not a loser. Please be careful what you say."

"What is she if she's not a loser?" Qian walked in quickly and almost poked Gu Fei in the face with his finger, but Gu Fei hurriedly got out of the way.

"A girl's movie is worth twenty taels of silver? If she can't work for two years, she will get married off, and she will have to pay a dowry. Brother, I think you have lost your mind!"

Gu Zhang stood up with an ugly expression, "Sister-in-law, how much I am willing to spend to redeem Xiao Fei is our family's business and has nothing to do with you. Our family has been separated for a long time!"

Qian turned around and pointed at Gu Zhang, spitting, "It has nothing to do with me? Then don't come to our house to borrow money?"

“While I was away, I coaxed your honest eldest brother to get a tael of silver. Do you think I got the money wasted?”

Gu Qing lowered his head when he heard this. He was the one who just went to his uncle's house to borrow money.

 “Give me back the money!” Qian spread his hands with his palms facing upward.

Gu Qing looked at Gu Zhang, he knew that Gu Zhang still had two taels of silver in his hand.

Gu Zhang hesitated for a moment, but then said: "Sister-in-law, I can't pay you back the money right now. In two days, I will go to the city with their brothers to find work. I will pay you back the money before the end of the year."

He still had some use for the two taels of silver in his hand. He had to go to the Yamen to cancel Xiao Fei's slave registration, and he also had to transfer Xiao Fei's household registration back. This all cost money, and two taels might not be enough.

"Bah!" Mr. Qian spat fiercely, "Don't lie to me. The drought has been like this this year, and there is no work in the fields. They have all gone to the city to find work. I'm afraid there are hundreds of people under the city wall. You’re just looking for work, how many of you are going to take your turn?”

 “I don’t care, I want the money now!”
