224 Trying To Renege On! Debt In Various Ways

In the end, the old lady clutched the key tightly and refused to let go. Mo Ruyue had also publicly stated the amount of silver he had given to the old lady. This made Qin Xu unable to explain himself and he could only listen to the crowd’s sarcastic remarks.

“Second Qin, Qin Shi, what do you mean by this? can this matter be over? I don’t have that much time to waste with you!”

Constable Wang was the first to get impatient. He had thought that with just the two of them, once they apologized and paid the money, this matter would be over. Who would have thought that the Qin family would be so dawdling? Now that they could not pay the fine, he had no way to go back and report to the eldest master.

“Sir, please be the judge for this old woman. Do you think it’s easy for me to save up my silver? After that, I’ll be in prison for half a year, and I’ll lose half of my life. When the time comes, I’ll have to pay for all the medical services and medicine. Why did they have their eyes on me?”

!!

Originally, Qin Shi was still being supported by Qin Xu, but now she couldn’t stand. Her legs went soft and she sat on the ground again. She slapped her thigh and cried.

“Mother, what are you doing? As long as my work in the city is successful, not to mention six taels of silver, even sixty taels of silver can be earned. At that time, will you still be afraid of not having enough silver to support yourself?”

Qin Xu finally spoke. He was still thinking about the job in the casino. He had inquired about it these days, and the man said that he had a good relationship with him and had been keeping it. As long as the money was in place, he could immediately start working.

At that time, although the monthly salary would be a little less, only three taels, the secret dividends would be more than ten or dozens of taels. At that time, their second branch would be rich. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable than the current life?

However, he couldn’t say these words in public now. He could only stare at Qin Shi angrily, hoping that she would quickly shut up and give him the key.

“Don’t mention your lousy job to me. How did you end up with such a good thing that costs so much silver? Oh my God, I really can’t live anymore!”

Qin Shi spat. At least she knew that she couldn’t reveal everything to others. But the more she said this, the more it aroused the curiosity of others. They were all guessing what kind of money-making job a person like Qin Xu could find.

“I don’t care about your nonsense. Hurry up and pay the fine. Otherwise, I’ll bring the old lady back and tell the old master that if you can’t pay the fine, you can only wait for an increase in your sentence.”

Constable Wang didn’t have the time to deal with the Qin mother and son’s domestic affairs. He was extremely regretful that he had taken the initiative to take on this task, so he didn’t show them any good looks.

Qin Xu had no choice but to turn to Mo Ruyue for help, hoping that she would come out and say something.

But Mo Ruyue just looked back at him so calmly. There wasn’t even a trace of embarrassment or guilt on her face, let alone taking the initiative to come out and help them.

Seeing that the matter was about to come to a stalemate, Constable Wang was enraged. He pulled hard on Qin Shi’s shackles and said sternly, “Alright, don’t dawdle here. Come with me to the government office and tell the first master to increase the punishment.”

Qin Shi was originally sitting on the ground, paralyzed. She was pulled forward by him and rolled on the ground in a sorry state.

” Sir, you can’t, sir. We can pay the fine. How can you increase the punishment? ”

Qin Xu was so anxious that he wanted to stop him, but he was also afraid of Constable Wang’s status as an official.

He didn’t want this great opportunity to slip away. If the final situation turned into qin shi increasing her punishment, he wouldn’t be able to get the key to her money box. at that time, he would be labeled as an unfilial son. it would be like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Qin Shi was the most unwilling one among them. After all, no matter what choice she made, she would be the one to suffer in the end.

Either she handed over the key to the money box and it ended up in Qin Xu’s hands, or she couldn’t pay the fine and her sentence would be extended, and she would have to stay in that dark and damp prison for a longer time.

Rather than this, she might as well kill herself here and let Mo Ruyue carry the bad name of forcing her mother-in-law to die. In any case, she couldn’t let Mo Ruyue live well.

Although this thought flashed across Qin Shi’s mind, how could she bear to die? She only thought about it.

“Sigh, Madam Qin, since you don’t want to give the key to your son, then find someone you trust to withdraw the money. You’re really stupid. ”

Someone’s words woke Qin Shi up. She suddenly raised her head and stared at Mo Ruyue with burning eyes.

“Eldest Daughter-in-law, I won’t deny your fine. Didn’t you want me to show my sincerity? Here, this is for you!”

As Qin Shi spoke, she trembled and groped around her waist. After a long time, she took out a small copper key from somewhere and handed it to Mo Ruyue.

“You already have four taels of silver in your hands, I’ll give you six taels. I have it in my money box, so I’ll make up for it. However, you still have to return this key to me!”

Her words had already stunned Qin Xu. He never thought that his mother would rather give the key to Mo Ruyue than to give it to her own son.

She had actually guarded against him to this extent?

“Mother, what do you mean by this? Eldest Sister-in-law has already separated from us, so wouldn’t it be better for you to give it to Madam Wang than to Eldest Sister-in-law?”

With a dark and sunken face, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest and forced himself to speak to Qin Shi in a good tone.

“The Wang family? She wouldn’t even dare to fart if you gave her a look. What was the difference between giving the key to her and giving it to you? Since the fine silver is to be given to her, why don’t you let her get it herself? Isn’t that fine?”

At this moment, Qin Shi’s mind was the most intelligent. After much thought, she felt that this was the best solution.

Mo Ruyue was making money like the tide now, so she probably didn’t like the things in her hands. besides, they had already made a clear distinction when they split. she didn’t want it back then, so she had no reason to want it now.

“I have no problem taking the fine silver I deserve, but why should I give you the key? In any case, if you really can’t gather the ten taels of silver, then you can stay in prison for a few more days. I don’t mind.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t care about the trivial matters between Qin Shi and the second branch. If there was money, she would take it. If there wasn’t money, then she would let Qin Shi squat in the prison. She saw that Qin Shi’s body was strong and wouldn’t collapse in a few days.

“Eldest Daughter-in-law, you’re not willing to help with such a small matter just for the sake of our dead son?”

Qin Shi stared at Mo Ruyue. She only had this life-saving straw left. If Mo Ruyue insisted that she didn’t care about her, then she could only stay in the prison for a while.

“Officer Uncle, can you please make an exception and give us another two to four hours so that we can go home and collect the money before paying the fine?”

Qin Qingyuan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked Constable Wang.

“Make an exception? The original time limit had already been extended by a few days, and he still wanted two to four hours? You people won’t shed a tear until you see your coffins, trying to renege on your debt!”

Constable Wang was really annoyed by the second branch of the Qin family. when he heard Qin Qingyuan’s words, he immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded.
