Chapter 225 Selling to a brothel to pay off debts
Murong Qi knelt down in front of his eldest brother and prayed pitifully, "Brother, you must help me, or I really have to die."
Big brother has already had more than 20 acres of land before he knew it, but now he doesn't have a single acre.
With more than 20 mu of land, he can be regarded as a small landlord.
I heard that the money he sells vegetables every day is enough for him to do a year of running the hall in a low voice.
There are dozens of people under his management, so impressive.
Now he really regrets his death. Why was he blinded by lard in the first place, and he was overconfident, thinking that the elder brother who has lost his hands must be inferior to him.
Otherwise, their family's current life, although not necessarily the same as before, would certainly not be much worse than when they were in the Imperial Physician's Mansion.
When Liu Shi saw that his beloved son actually knelt down, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Second child, what are you doing on your knees, the old lady has never read a book and knows that the man has gold under his knees, how can you just kneel on someone!"
Murong Liang glared at her, "You are everywhere! Gold? Where is the gold? Find it for me! If you can help him, let him get up, don't ask the boss! The eldest brother is the father, he What's wrong with kneeling? Even if he kneels to death, he deserves it!"
Liu pouted unwillingly and had to keep silent, but glared at Murong Zhe, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, he is your brother, you are the eldest brother, he should get up.
Murong Zhe didn't feel much when he saw him kneeling down. He had raised him for half his life and could bear this kneeling.
Ignoring Liu's vicious eyes, he frowned and said, "You're a few decades old, and crying can solve the problem? Just say it directly, don't pretend there, the juniors are watching here, you don't feel ashamed! I'm very busy, so I'll leave if I don't speak up."
Murong Qi quickly wiped the tears from his face, and said anxiously, "Brother, don't go, I said, I... I seem to be in trouble."
"What woe?"
"I...I..." Murong Qi glanced at a few nephews and nieces awkwardly, and knew that it was impossible for them to avoid them, so he could only bite the bullet and said slowly: "Brother, you also know that I work in Shunxin Restaurant. The business of the restaurant was not good yesterday, and a person who ran with me took me to the casino to gamble, I... I lost the bet and owed a lot of debt."
Murong Zhe stood up in surprise, and raised his voice involuntarily, "What? You can earn thousands of taels a month, do you know that it is a place where you can eat people without spitting bones, and you dare to go to a casino?"
"Big brother." Murong Qi hurriedly pulled his trouser legs and said in a panic: "Big brother, I know I shouldn't go, I already know the mistake, but the mistake has been made now, it's useless to say anything now, just please Help me. The people at the casino said that if I don’t pay the money within three days, not only will they have my legs, but they will also sell my eldest daughter to a brothel to pay off her debts.”
Murong Xue knew it just now, and when she heard her father say it again, her body trembled even more.
Murong Lingran glanced at the panic-stricken Murong Xue, and suddenly said, "Uncle, how did the casino know that you have a daughter?"
"That's right." Murong Zhe thought of something, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Murong Qi, shouldn't you be..."
"Yes." Murong Qi said with a sad face, "Yesterday, my luck was always good. Although I lost all my silver in the middle, the casino lent me money and made me turn over quickly, but I made a mistake later and let me take all the silver that I won later. Lose it in."
