Chapter 205 IOU Must Be Written
"Help me, mother!" Tang Lao Da struggled in the big man's hand and looked at Tang Yueling again, "Yueling, I am your father. I raised you to this age. Can you please save me? Please?"
"Taohua Lanhua, you two sisters, I, as your uncle, have never let you down. Can you please save me?"
"You guys do the most work in this family, so you'll be the upper class when you go to the gambling house. You'll have plenty to eat and drink, no worries! This is for your own good, uncle!"
No one paid any attention to his pleading. Big Brother Tang repeated it over and over again, but sisters Tang Taohua and Lanhua hid themselves and didn't even look at him.
"It seems that you are not going to take his life today, right?" The big man put the knife on Don's neck again, and before he could say anything, blood oozed out from his neck.
Suddenly, Sun fell to her knees in front of Tang Qiyue and slapped herself repeatedly, "Qiyue girl, I know that I have a bad heart, but this is your uncle after all! You can't just watch him die without helping him! Can you please be kind enough to take out some money to save your uncle!"
"As long as you are willing to save your uncle, I will do anything! Can I kowtow to you? Can I?" No one expected that Sun would come to Tang Qiyue for help, especially when they saw how fiercely she slapped herself in the face, it was even more surprising.
Tang Yaozu's eyes rolled around, and he immediately ran out of the house, shouting, "Qiyue, you made so much money from building the workshop, you should be able to give me a hundred taels to save my father."
Tang Qiyue glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
"What are you begging for! Why are you begging this black-hearted person? Will she save us? Forget it, she would rather we die!" Old Mrs. Tang ran over and pulled Sun up.
This was the first time Sun disobeyed Old Lady Tang. She waved her hand away and shouted, "Who else can save me except her? I demand her, I demand her."
Many villagers were moved by this and began to persuade Tang Qiyue to help.
"Qiyue girl, this is a human life after all, and it is related to you by blood, please save it."
"Yes! One hundred taels shouldn't be a big deal for you! If you save them now, they won't trouble you again in the future."
"Save him."
"Save him, save your uncle. I see he's bleeding more and more!"
Seeing that Tang Qiyue was indifferent, Sun made up her mind and kowtowed to her, her head hitting the ground with a loud bang, "Please, please, Tang Qiyue."
Tang Qiyue quickly moved aside, refusing to accept her kowtow, but still said, "If you want me to save him, I can. But..."
"But you tell me what you want to say. I'll agree to whatever you say."
Curling the corners of her lips, Tang Qiyue took out a pen and paper from her messenger bag and handed it to Xie Changjin, "Write two IOUs."
Xie Changjin took it and went to the side to write an IOU.
When she heard that they actually wanted to write an IOU, Mrs. Tang, who was just about to stop cursing for the time being, became anxious again, "Stupid girl, do we need to write an IOU when we are all here? What do you mean!"
Tang Qiyue glanced at her and said, "He's here now, but who knows if he'll still be here tomorrow! After all, it's over a hundred taels of silver. If you let me borrow it but don't let me write an IOU, I won't feel at ease."
"What if your whole family runs away? Wouldn't my hundred taels just be wasted?"
The villagers looked at each other and nodded, "Yes, yes! It's time to write an IOU!"
"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that this is one hundred taels! It's more than the total assets of all the villagers in Baile Village combined!"
"Yes! The IOU must be written."
The villagers stood by Tang Qiyue again, and Old Mrs. Tang was so angry that she wanted to sew their talkative mouths shut.
Xie Changjin took out the two written IOUs and handed them to Tang Qiyue. The latter took a look at the contents on the papers and was very satisfied. Then she was amazed by the handwriting.
Unlike the cold and aloof feeling given by Xie Changjin, his words reveal a kind of unruly arrogance.
Tang Qiyue looked at Xie Changjin with a smile, "Good handwriting."
Xie Changjin patted her head lovingly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Tang Qiyue, who was almost drowning in someone's tenderness and doting, quickly came back to her senses and handed the IOU to Sun. "If you can write your name, write it. If you can't, put your fingerprint on it."
"How...how do I press it?" Sun was in tears. She didn't want to take the IOU but had to. Her fingers were tightly clenched around the IOU.
Tang Qiyue pointed at Tang Lao Da and said, "Isn't there blood ready-made? Just get some on it and put your fingerprint on it."
"You!" Don's eyes widened!
"What do you mean by 'I'? She put her fingerprints on it, and you still have to sign. Whoever borrows this money must pay it back." Tang Qiyue narrowed her eyes, "Listen carefully, if you don't pay back the money within a year, I will send your whole family to jail!"
Sun tremblingly wiped some of the blood on Boss Tang's body with her fingers and left a fingerprint.
Hearing this, the big man pushed Boss Tang away and stretched out his hand to Tang Qiyue, "Silver?"
Tang Qiyue reached into her messenger bag, took out a hundred taels of silver notes and ten taels of silver, and threw them to him, "Here's the silver. Take your people and get out of here!"
Many people found it hard to believe when they saw Tang Qiyue casually taking out so much silver.
This girl from the Tang family carries so much silver with her?
The big man took the silver and stared at Tang Qiyue fiercely until a long sword with a cold glow stretched out in front of him. Then he left Baile Village in shame with his brothers.
Now that the biggest threat was gone, Tang Yueling's tense spirit immediately disappeared and she collapsed to the ground.
Tang Qiyue took the IOU from Sun's hand, handed her another one to continue pressing her fingerprints, took the previous one and came to Boss Tang, squatted down and pressed it beside his legs, "Sign!"
Don was literate and it was easy for him to write his own name. He had no choice but to sign his name twice. After he finished signing, he collapsed.
Looking at the two IOUs with satisfaction, Tang Qiyue took one and threw the other to Sun, "Remember the deadline above. If you don't want to go to jail, pay me back quickly!"
After saying that, he took Xie Changjin and turned away.
Who knew that Tang Lao Er and Wu supported each other and caught up, "Qiyue girl, today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my two daughters would..."
"No need to thank me." Tang Qiyue waved her hands. "You should be thankful that the Taohua Lanhua sisters didn't bully me when Tang Yaozu and Tang Yueling bullied me. Otherwise, I wouldn't care even if they died in front of me today."
"I know, I know." Tang Lao Er nodded hurriedly.
It was the kindness of the two sisters that saved them.
