"This morning, when I arrived in Hangzhou City, I went straight to Desheng Lane to ask for debts and asked Cheng to pay the eight thousand taels of silver for Zou." Chu Jiu lowered his head and replied.

At the beginning, the person who borrowed the silver from Zou was Wang, and the IOU was also written by Wang. Now Wang has been divorced by the Xi family's main house and is still in prison. Zou is worried that the eight thousand taels of silver will be wasted, so he sent his personal wife to come and ask Cheng's return.

Cheng refused to admit the money borrowed by Wang.

But the old lady threatened Xi Lan's marriage.

Only then did Cheng understand why so many things happened in the Xi family, but Zou did not bring anyone to withdraw from the marriage. It turned out that he wanted to use Xi Lan's marriage to control her, thinking about asking her to pay back the money.

After Cheng figured it out, he said bluntly, "I believe your wife has heard about it for a long time when she has so many things happening in the Xi family. Now I have no money, not to mention silver, but even copper coins. I still want to borrow some money from your wife in the past few days to help us overcome this difficulty."

The old lady asked for a debt, but she didn't get a penny. When Cheng said she wanted to borrow it from Zou again, the old lady was angry and muttered, "Your house is burned, that's your business, but your family owes my wife the money, which is indispensable. Don't think about not paying it back, otherwise the eldest lady's marriage will not be guaranteed."

"What do you mean?" Cheng was also angry, "You want to use Alan's marriage to threaten my old woman?"

"Old lady, I dare not threaten. I am just telling the truth. Just based on your family's current situation, my Shen family has not sent anyone to withdraw from the marriage. Isn't it just that the eldest lady is the wife's nephew and granddaughter? But you can't just rely on this to borrow my wife's money and refuse to give it. My wife is going to use it urgently now. If the wife says, if we don't give the money, then we will withdraw from the marriage. The old slave will take the things that our Shen family has sent to the daughter. However, even if we withdraw the marriage, how should we repay the money that your Xi family borrows, and how should we repay it."

"Gengkengkeng... When did our family borrow money from your wife?" Cheng was angry, grabbed a teacup on the table and smashed it at the woman. "The shameless slave of the monk said that my family borrowed your wife's 8,000 taels of silver. Where is the IOU?"

"If there is no IOU, just get out of here."

He grabbed all four cups on the table and smashed them at the woman.

The woman was so scared that she retreated repeatedly and retreated outside the gate.

The old lady did have an IOU in her hand, but the handprints and name on the IOU are not Cheng’s family, but Wang’s family.

Wang was retired by the Xi family, so he was not considered a member of the Xi family. Zou asked for debts, so he really couldn't ask the Xi family.

However, Wang was in prison and returned it to Zou without money, so Zou first sent an old lady to test the words of Xi's family.

If the Xi family admitted the eight thousand taels of silver, then the eight thousand taels of silver in Zou would not be wasted. However, as Zou expected, the Xi family did not intend to admit the debt.

The old lady was unwilling to go back like this, so she stood at the gate of the Xi family and cursed, "It's true that your handprint is not yours on the IOU, but it's Wang Ruying. When Wang Ruying borrowed the silver, she was still the eldest wife of the Xi family. She borrowed the silver for your Xi family. Now your Xi family should pay back the silver."
