Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 238: 

Reaping What You Sow, Can't Survive!

Murong Qi lay on the ground in fear, pleading, "Big brother, save me, save me! They really want to cut off my legs. I don't want to become a cripple!"

Murong Zhe remained indifferent, saying, "Reaping what you sow, can't survive!"

"Big brother!"

Are you really going to be so heartless?

Suddenly, the loan shark laughed, "Actually, we don't want to harm anyone or shed blood. If you say you don't have the ability, then tell us how much you can bring out. I'll consider giving you some more time, how about that?"

Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow, a silent smirk on her lips, "What Uncle is means that you'll take as much as we can give, right?"

"Yes, for example, your land deed and the deed to this house. You can temporarily hand them all over to me. I'll give you a month to raise the money. During this time, you can still live in this house. When you've gathered enough silver, I'll return the land deed and house deed to you. How about that?"

At this moment, Li Zhuang arrived and heard the loan shark's words. Afraid that Murong Lingran, being young, might be deceived by the loan shark's smooth talk, he quickly intervened, "A'Zhe, A'Ran don't believe his words. The people from the gambling den are not trustworthy."

"For a month, relying solely on selling vegetables, how could you possibly earn two thousand taels of silver?"

"Even if you earn it, they might play dirty tricks, claiming that the time is dragging on too long and charging additional interest. By then, this house and land would be like a meat bun thrown to a dog, gone without a trace."

They had worked hard to accumulate these assets. For the sake of Murong Qi, who was a spendthrift, they truly felt it wasn't worth it.

Meng Chengye, the husband of Mrs. Xia, also said, "Master, you really can't believe their words. You must think carefully."

"Master Murong, really can't believe what they say. You must think about it."

"Right, you can't believe them. What they're saying is just a trick. If you hand over the land deed and house deed today, they might come to kick you out tomorrow."

Most of the onlookers didn't agree with the loan shark's proposal. After all, how many good people could there be in a gambling den? Also, thinking about how they would work hard every day to earn money for the Master, only to have it used to repay Murong Qi's gambling debts, made them very uncomfortable.

Seeing the opposition from the crowd, Mrs. Chen wore a malicious expression, scanning each person's face, "You selfish beasts, you don't want him to mortgage anything because you're afraid you won't have a place to work, right? How can earning money be more important to you than my husband's life?"

Mrs. Xia mockingly said, "A'Cai's mother, their journey has not been easy at all. We all saw it. When their family fell into hardship, you didn't even give them a grain of rice. Now, in difficult times, you think of them?"

"You accuse us of being selfish. Is your family not selfish? Compared to our little selfishness, your family is a hundred times, a thousand times, no, ten thousand times more selfish!"

"That's right." Mo Erkang couldn't help but interject, "You still have the nerve to say that to us. Although we do want to continue working for the Master's family, it's sincerely for their good."

"If you can trust the words of people from a gambling den, the sun rises from the west. Other people have worked hard to have a slightly better life, and you want to take away everything they have. There's no one more malicious in this world than you!"
