Shu Yu's lips curved slightly, "Actually, if you don't want to involve the authorities, there's another way."
Fubao asked dryly, "What, what way?" She had an ominous feeling that Brother Lianger seemed like he was going to swindle someone. Or was it just her imagination?
Shu Yu spoke calmly, "In this past year, all the grain, oil, silver coins, if you add it all up, how much did you take from us? Now, just return that amount. And if you can repay this debt in full, perhaps, we might let you off the hook?"
Involve the authorities?
What's the fun in involving the authorities? At most, one would get a few beatings or be locked up for a while, but the past losses cannot be recovered.
Shu Yu remembered when Dong Dabao first came to the Liang family. That year, things at home were very difficult. Although he was haughty, he knew right from wrong, good from evil, had a sense of proportion, and was not as pretentious as the usual scholar caring only about face.
