Under Gillam's sarcastic words, many customers in the shop vaguely heard something.
As a result, many guests suddenly turned to look at Amul and Barus with strange eyes.
The two Amuls felt the eyes of many people falling on them, and the expressions on their faces suddenly changed to how embarrassing they were.
At this moment, they both had the same thought in their minds, that is, they wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it right away.
Gillam didn't care how embarrassed the two of them looked now, let alone what they were thinking in their hearts.
At this time, he was still looking at Amur and Amul with disdain, and he chuckled and gently rubbed the few gold coins in his hands.
"Hehehe, what are you two doing in a daze? Didn't you two come here today to ask for payment from Brother Krich?
Now, the money is sitting on the ground!
Brother, how much money he owes you for goods has not yet been settled, you two can just count it from the box.
Count as many as you need to count.
What are you two still doing in a daze? Count!"
Hearing Gilam's urging tone that seemed a little impatient, Amul and Barus looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Gilam one after another with embarrassed expressions.
Amul clenched his hands hard, walked to Krich's side with a depressed look and stopped his attack.
"Brother Gillam, don't be like this, I don't want to be like this either.
Brother Crich, you two also know what kind of business I am doing here.
You and Brother Creech know that the business I am running now does not allow me to be short of liquidity for a long time.
It has been two months since today, the day I delivered the goods to Brother Crich.
Nearly two months have passed in the business I am running. Brother Gillam, you should understand what this means.
However, you can ask Brother Crich right now, have I visited him once in the past two months?
Brother Krich is standing here right now, you can ask him directly, during this period of time, have I, Amul, pressed for payment from him once?"
Seeing Amul's suffocated expression, Krich breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gillam with a sad expression and shook his head gently.
"Brother, you have misunderstood the Amul brothers.
What happened today is not what you heard, but I feel sorry for Brother Amul and Brother Barus."
Seeing that Krich actually echoed Amur's words, Gillam's expression was slightly startled.
When he was about to speak, Amul, who looked aggrieved next to him, spoke first.
"Brother Gillam, let's face it in front of Brother Creech, and I can tell you with a clear conscience.
Nearly twenty days have passed since the payment date agreed upon by my eldest brother and I.
However, even to this day, I, Amul, have not forced Brother Creech to recover the previous payment.
However, there are many things that I cannot do alone!
You understand in your heart what kind of person Brother Keric is, so why don’t I, Amul, understand it?
I know better than anyone in my heart that even if I am delayed for another ten or eight days, my brother will never lose a penny of my Amul's payment.
It's just that I know this in my heart, but it doesn't mean that everyone knows this.
Ever since the news about what happened suddenly at Brother Krich's side has spread, the dozen or so businessmen who have supplied me with my brother have come to my home every now and then to ask for payment.
Today, it was just dawn in the east, and the owners of the 16 shops that supplied me and my little brother came to our house together.
They banded together to force me to give them an explanation before the sun goes down today.
Otherwise, don't blame them for doing some irrational things in my home.
Under such a situation, Brother Gillam, what do you want me to do?
Most of the goods in my hand are stored in brother Krich's shop. Even if all the payments for the goods from other places are collected, it will not be enough to pay off the goods to the next shop.
In this case, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?
If I had even the slightest idea, I wouldn't ask Brother Burroughs to come find Brother Crich together."
As soon as Amul finished his words full of grievances, Barus, who had already walked to Krich's side, looked at Gillam with a complicated expression and sighed with a bitter smile.
"well."
"Brother Gilam, the situation on my side is very similar to the situation on Brother Amul's side. There is almost no big difference.
Like Brother Amul, I am also being forced by some people and there is really no other way.
Otherwise, the two of us brothers would not have come together to see Brother Crich early in the morning today.
However, since the two of us met Brother Crich, we didn't even say a word about forcing him.
From the beginning to the end, the two of us were pleading with the elder brother in a good voice, hoping that he could think of a way to settle the money for the goods we delivered as soon as possible.
In this way, we can go back and give errands to others.
Regarding this point, if you don’t believe what we two brothers said, then you should ask Brother Crich on the spot to see if we two lied."
After listening to the affectionate answers given by the Amul brothers, Gillam immediately turned around and looked at Krich.
"Brother?"
Seeing this situation, Krich turned his head and looked at the two Amuls who had aggrieved expressions on their faces. He nodded with depressed expressions and sighed softly.
"Well, Brother Gillam, that's true."
After hearing Creech's answer, Gillam suddenly took a breath of embarrassment.
"Hiss! This...this!"
Gillam frowned and groaned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes fell on Amul and the two of them.
"Even if this is the case, it doesn't change the fact that you two came to Brother Creech today to ask for payment, right?"
"Brother Gillam, I don't deny this.
But, then you can’t just come in and insult our two brothers indiscriminately before everything is clear, right?”
As Amul spoke, he immediately turned his head and looked around at the large group of guests whose expressions had changed.
"Brother, I admit that the behavior of our two brothers coming to our door today has somewhat embarrassed Brother Crich.
However, this does not mean that we two brothers are that kind of ungrateful people."
As soon as Amul finished speaking, Bruce next to him immediately echoed: "Yes, what we two brothers did today is indeed a bit wrong, and it is a bit embarrassing for Brother Crich.
However, that wouldn’t lead to such an unbearable situation, right?
You ungrateful fellow, Brother Gillam, your words are indeed a bit insulting."
When Gillam listened to the rebuttals made by the two men one after another, his face could not help but stiffen once again.
When Krich saw this, he immediately waved his hand.
"Three brothers, please stop saying a few words and don't let outsiders see the joke between us brothers.
If you have any questions, let’s talk after we go to the backyard.”
"Okay, brother, I understand."
"Yes, I will listen to my elder brother."
"Brother, whatever you say will be done."
Kerridge chuckled and nodded, then immediately turned sideways and waved to the three Gillams.
"Three brothers, please."
"Brother, please go first."
"Brother Gillam."
"Little brother is here, big brother?"
"Good brother, please tell your men to carry these boxes of gold coins to the backyard first.
If these gold coins continue to be left in the shop, I will not be able to continue the business in my shop."
When Gillam heard this, he nodded happily, and then waved directly to the group of servants standing behind him.
"Harrison, follow my brother's instructions and immediately carry these boxes of gold coins to the backyard."
"Yes, I obey my orders."
After Harrison bowed respectfully, he immediately turned around and waved to the several strong men around him.
"Quick, quick, quick, quickly cover the box, and then immediately carry the box to the backyard of Master Creech's house."
"We obey."
Creech glanced around at the people watching the excitement, then walked slowly and slowly to his wife Amina and stopped.
"Madam, I will take a few brothers to sit in the backyard first, and I will leave the previous matters to you and Orr for the time being.
If there are some old acquaintances who have come to pay, you don’t need to argue with them, just ask them to be led to the backyard to find me."
Listening to her master's explanation, Amina nodded gently.
"Hey, I know.
Sir, what’s going on with the brothers?”
Krich smiled lightly and patted Amina on the shoulder casually.
"Madam, don't worry, I will try my best to handle it properly."
"Okay, okay, then I'll feel relieved."
Krich chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, waving his hands to the three Gillams again.
"Three brothers, please."
"Brother, please go first."
"Hahaha, please, please."
"Iko."
"Hey, the baby is here, dad, what do you want to do?"
"Girl, you go to the backyard right away and make tea for your father and your three uncles."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, Iko."
Cree nodded vigorously a few times, lifted up his skirt, and took the lead in trotting towards the backyard.
Soon, Creech and his party came to the backyard together.
As soon as Creech sat on the stone bench behind him, Gillam frowned and looked at Amul and Amul who were about to sit down.
"Amul, Barus, when I was in front in front of a large group of people, I had something to say that was not convenient for me to say.
Now, there are only a few of us brothers and a group of servants present in the backyard, so I have nothing to be polite about.
In my opinion, no matter what the reasons are, the behavior of the two of you today in coming to Brother Creech to ask for payment is wrong.
You two touch your conscience and think about it, if it hadn't been for the help of Brother Crich, would you two brothers have made it this far?"
As soon as Guillam finished speaking, he sat down heavily with a look of displeasure on his face.
The two Amul looked at Gillam who was sitting down, and they also sat on the stone bench behind them with complicated expressions.
"Brother Gillam, I still say what I said. The two of us came to see Brother Creech today, and we had no intention of forcing him.
Since the two of us met our eldest brother, we have been pleading with him from beginning to end, wanting to discuss with him how to solve this matter.
Compared to Salah, Raquel and others who didn't lack money at all for a long time, but immediately came to ask for payment from their eldest brother.
We two brothers were really indispensable for moving money, and we persisted until we were forced to the end by the people from our respective families.
I persisted until I couldn't hold on anymore, and there was really no other way, so I had to come to my elder brother to discuss the payment for the goods.
Brother Gillam, come and tell me, brother, what exactly did I do wrong?"
Barrus was silent for a while, then turned to look at Krich, who was frowning, and looked at Gillam sitting opposite him with a sad expression.
"Brother Gilam, brother, I know you look down on me for what Brother Amul did today.
Regarding this, brother, I have nothing to defend.
But, Brother Gillam, I hope you can understand one thing.
That is, among us brothers, not everyone can be like you now and can take out 20,000 gold coins without any scruples.
You have to know that everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own helplessness.
Brother, I’ve just said this. Whether you can understand or not depends entirely on your own thoughts.”
Seeing the three people who had been arguing with each other and expressing their opinions, Krich suddenly raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the stone table in front of him.
"That's enough, all three of you, shut up and listen to me as a brother first."
"Yes, little brother, I obey."
"Brother, I second the proposal."
"My younger brother also seconded the proposal."
Krich took a few deep breaths and calmed down his somewhat depressed mood. When the three brothers were about to speak, Krich's clear and melodious voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
"Dad, uncles, here comes the tea."
Kriike walked up to the stone table with a tray in his jade hands, and placed the teapot and teacups on the stone table one by one with a smile on his face.
Then, she gently put down the tray in her hand, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for her father and several uncles.
"Dad, uncles, please use them slowly."
"Okay, okay, Yi Ke, it's been a long time since uncle drank the tea you made yourself.
Uncle, I will definitely taste it today to see how much your tea-making skills have improved."
"Good niece, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and take a rest."
"Yes, yes, my dear niece, sit down and take a rest."
Kriike smiled brightly, held up his clothes and walked elegantly on the stone bench next to his father.
"Keke, Yi Ke, thank you uncles so much."
Crich glanced sideways at his daughter, and cheerfully picked up the teacup that had been poured with tea in front of him.
When he just picked up the tea cup and looked at the three good brothers who were about to say something.
Amina led two plain-looking middle-aged men in light cyan tight-fitting robes with wild goose feather knives at their waists into the backyard.
