"Debt?!" Sangmo simply couldn't believe his own ears.
How could Bai Mucheng find her a seven-times-removed uncle who didn't pay back his debts?
Just about to ask, another elder nearby also stood up, "He owes me money too, a full 120 taels!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders and uncles who had been sitting stood up, saying that Zhang Huimu also owed them money, and the amounts were more substantial with each claim.
Sangmo: ...I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen anything like this.
But now, as a peasant girl, she had to pretend to be harmless and could not retort.
She clenched her teeth angrily, lowered her head, and covered her face with a cloth while crying tearfully, "What should I do then?"
"Could you give me a few days' grace? Once I have the money, I will surely repay you in full."
Upon hearing this, several old men all showed smug smiles, "That won't do, what if you run away?"
