The doctor's voice suddenly rose, causing the crowd to gradually gather around. Listening to the old man chattering non-stop, complaining about how unreasonable the Chen family was, everyone laughed and pointed at him from time to time.
"Hey, the Chen family is finished..."
"Thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi. Three generations of poverty and three generations of wealth. If you don't think about making progress, your ancestors' industry will be destroyed sooner or later. This day is destined for the Chen family."
"It's a pity. From now on, I don't know whose surname Chen Cheng will take."
From time to time, cynicism came from the crowd. It echoed among everyone, making the ridicule on their faces even more intense.
Chen Xue, who was standing in front of the door, saw this scene. Her heart was extremely hot for a moment. In the past, the Chen family had never encountered such a situation. She was actually being collected by a doctor in front of everyone. This is undoubtedly not the biggest humiliation to the Chen family. .
"My agreement with you is ten days. If you can't wait and violate the agreement, I'm sorry. Please stay away from my Chen family." Chen Xue calmed down for a moment and looked for a loophole. At this time, it was a bit uncomfortable to ask for 10,000 gold coins. Maybe. I have to push back the time
"Isn't there a person in charge of the Chen family? Why don't you ask a girl to deal with me? I sold you real gold and silver elixirs. You actually said such a thing. If the Chen family doesn't pay back the money, I will Duan is going to be wasted here. Let’s see if your Chen family can afford to throw this person away.”
The doctor's words changed again. He became a bit sharper and fanned the people around him on a larger scale. The crowd was much noisier than before. However, it was nothing more than cynicism to blame the Chen family.
"Who is so presumptuous in front of my Chen family?"
Just as the doctor finished speaking, a bunch of messy footsteps came from deep in the Chen family compound. Then a slightly aged voice echoed in the space.
The taunting stopped abruptly. There was a little more fear on the faces full of ridicule. The man who came was the old man of the Chen family. Although the Chen family is now in decline, the bravery of the old man of the Chen family has never been lost. No matter how much it decreases, he is still one of the strongest men in Chen City.
A burst of chaotic footsteps rushed out of the Chen family's courtyard. The first person to appear in everyone's eyes was Chen Luoqi, the shopkeeper of the Chen family.
Those eyes with a hint of vicissitudes of life swept through the crowd. Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. They were afraid that this man would burst into pieces in a moment of rage. His sarcastic mouth just now stopped dead at the right time. Close it. Don't even dare to take a breath.
"Xue'er. What's going on?"
Everyone fell silent. Chen Luoqi turned his gaze to Chen Xue and asked softly.
"Father......."
"Mr. Chen, you came just in time. It has been said since ancient times that repaying debts is a matter of course. Three days ago, your eldest lady took 20,000 gold coins of elixir from me. Is there still 10,000 gold coins left? Settlement. It’s not that someone in my section is unkind. It’s that my Duan family is really in trouble. The creditor is waiting in my medicine hall. Do you think I can take it easy? Folks, do you think this is true? ."
But before Chen Xue could respond, the doctor was already talking quickly. From time to time, he turned his head to incite everyone. Out of human instinct, those who had shut up gradually became active again and began to whisper.
Listening to the doctor's words, Chen Luoqi's old face was already flushed with embarrassment. His eyes stayed on the doctor for a long time. His body was shaking with anger. However, he still suppressed the anger in his heart. His eyes swept across the crowd and looked at this picture. The familiar face, however, does seem so unfamiliar now. When the Chen family was at its peak, this group of people constantly praised and praised the Chen family, bringing it to another level.
Now, the Chen family is in decline. These people are talking all over again. They are constantly sarcastic and want to overthrow the Chen family. These faces are true and false. People's hearts are warm and cold. This is human nature.
"Xue'er, those items belonging to our ancestors have been pawned. My Chen family is in decline now. But, I am not the one who refuses to repay the money I owe. Now, I admit in front of all my fellow villagers that my Chen family is indeed in decline. My ancestors Your foundation was destroyed in the hands of me, Chen Luoqi."
He withdrew his gaze and suddenly gave a cold shout. The moment he uttered the words, his whole person seemed to have aged by more than ten years. The majestic Chen Luoqi of the past no longer existed.
"Father..." Chen Xue was almost heartbroken at this moment. His father has always been good-looking. No matter how difficult the family was, he never reached out to others for help. He actually said such words in front of so many people today. Chen Xue knew that her father must be under great pressure in his heart.
For a moment, the Chen family stood there blankly. Bundles of tears fell involuntarily. The Chen family might really be finished.
"Who said the Chen family is doomed? As long as I am here, the Chen family will never decline."
But just when everyone was crying and sobbing, a cold shout suddenly came from the depths of the Chen family. Although the shout was weak, it was filled with endless coldness and arrogance. After listening to it, people couldn't help but feel endless hope in their hearts.
The Chen family couldn't help but turn around and look back. Looking at the empty Chen family courtyard. However, a thin body slowly walked forward with the support of a maid. That cold and handsome face was full of determination. It turned out to be the injured one. Tragic young man.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at this unfamiliar face. Not many people in the Chen family even knew who this person was. But there was endless expectation in the eyes of each pair of people looking at him. The Chen family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The hard work of countless people went into it. How could it be ruined like this?
At this moment, Chen Xue stood there numbly. Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, her heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm and became chaotic.
"Don't worry, old man. I'm with you in everything." Ai Siyu walked slowly under the gaze of everyone and nodded politely to Chen Luoqi. He said this.
Then his eyes met with Chen Xue's. There was a hint of curvature on that pale face, and the smile was a little far-fetched.
"I owe you 10,000 gold coins. I'll give you 100,000. The only requirement is to lean over and say sorry to Mr. Chen." Ai Siyu's body shook. He gently pushed Lian'er away who was supporting him. Then he said deeply Although his eyes looked a little weak, the doctor's body felt hairy for a moment.
But a figure like one hundred thousand gold coins made him a little excited for a moment. Recalling the purpose of his trip, he became a little more determined. At this time, he wanted to see if the Chen family could come up with the money. He nodded in agreement very solemnly.
"Okay, man, please apologize first." Hearing the doctor's promise, Ai Siyu's face became colder and he approached again.
"Hey, um, Mr. Chen, I have no choice but to do this now. I'm so reckless. I offend you so much. I'd like to ask you, Lao Haihan." Dr. Duan walked for a while and walked to Chen Luoqi with his waist bent. He said solemnly. Looks like a slave.
"Say it to me properly. Say I'm sorry." Mr. Duan just stood up straight. He thought everything was over. Unexpectedly, the young man roared in anger. He turned pale in fright and almost collapsed.
Everyone was stunned. Looking at the weak young man, the Chen family felt a little worried. What if the young man couldn't give him one hundred thousand gold coins after all this trouble? What should they do? The Chen family really can't get it now. Pay this money.
For a moment, a pair of eyes focused on Ai Siyu, deeply afraid that this young man would take this matter too far and make the Chen family lose face to stay in Chen Cheng any longer.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I made a mistake today."
But under this fright, the doctor bent down and apologized like a slave. However, a cold light flashed on his lowered face. He had already secretly decided in his heart that if the young man couldn't come up with the money, it would be up to him to deal with it. A family.
"Okay. Just a man's word. If you do it, I will do it of course. Take one hundred thousand gold coins."
Ai Siyu beside him had his eyes fixed on Mr. Duan from beginning to end. He nodded when he saw all this. With a flick of his fingertips, an illusory turquoise light flashed past. Then a crystal card appeared. Appeared in the hand. As he spoke, his big hand weakly lifted up in mid-air. A trace of spiritual consciousness poured into the card.
The crystal stuck in the air and made a crisp sound. Then the gold coins scattered all over the sky like rain. In front of the huge Chen's house, golden gold coins filled the air with a crash.
One hundred thousand gold coins were scattered in the air. Light and crisp sounds kept coming. Everyone was completely stunned. This scene was too amazing. There were exclamations one after another. The eyes that looked at the young man couldn't help but have endless emotions. of fear.
At this time, Mr. Duan stood there stupidly. He would never have imagined that this young man would pay him back in such a way. Although he was full of humiliation, such a number of gold coins was really scary. At this time, he had already seen money on his feet. A thick layer has accumulated.
But when everyone had different expressions, Ai Siyu's eyes suddenly turned and fell to the far corner of the street. There, a figure was hiding furtively. Just now, his spiritual sense came in, trying to confirm his identity.
"Okay. Okay. I, Chen Luoqi, am old. I am still young and courageous." The old man of the Chen family swept his eyes over Ai Siyu. He nodded and said loudly. He was obviously very happy. For Ai Siyu to be like this I really like the way things are done.
"Let's go back home." Then, a somewhat old body moved towards Ai Siyu. A pill was silently thrown into Ai Siyu's hand.
Ai Siyu raised his hand, and the elixir naturally fell into his mouth. Then a wave of energy spread in his body. He supported the body and stood up straighter for a few minutes. As everyone entered the Chen Mansion.
There was a muffled bang. The door of the Chen family was closed tightly. Only a group of dumbfounded civilians were left, looking at everything in front of them. Looking at Doctor Duan standing stupidly among the piles of gold coins, his dry lips moved and he let out a breath of cold air. .
However, everyone in the Chen Mansion had not taken more than ten steps. Ai Siyu, who was surrounded in the middle, suddenly became weak and collapsed. Mr. Chen, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, supported him.
"Hurry, hurry. Send him to have a good rest." Chen Luoqi ordered. His eyes looked at Ai Siyu, but there was a little more fear. This young man was too scary. Such a seriously injured body has been forcibly supported for so long. .
