Take out the money today. If you can't, just wait to go back to the Pigeon Market and follow the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Including principal and interest, it's 300 yuan in total. One finger for every 100 yuan less. That's our company's rule!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop dawdling with me here. If I don't see the money today, it won't matter even if the King of Heaven comes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this day and age, the economy had already started to take off, and those who collected usury didn't actually collect it so urgently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, injuring or maiming people didn't do them any good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the rumors in the Pigeon Market were so intense, and everyone thought they had offended Qin Qin Huairu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to quickly take Sha Zhu away to prove their attitude, otherwise, they would be the ones to suffer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The deadline hasn't even arrived yet! 100 yuan for a finger? Big brothers, don't joke with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I borrowed the money, you didn't say there was such a rule. If there was, I definitely wouldn't have borrowed the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was almost crying; he never expected these people to be so ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, these people were targeting him specifically. In the past, even if there really was such an obscure rule, it wouldn't have been used once in several years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the cold eyes of these people, Sha Zhu also knew that they probably weren't lying. If he didn't find a way to pay back the money, he could forget about his three fingers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng, you two pieces of trash, why don't you hurry up and get over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his anxiety, Sha Zhu saw the two of them, Jia Jia Zhangshi and her grandson, lying comfortably in the corner of the courtyard, and hurriedly shouted for them to come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being shouted at by Sha Zhu, Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, although they didn't know what had happened, walked over reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were still living in the courtyard, and whether they could eat was another matter. Sha Zhu calling them over must mean something was up. If they could return to Sha Zhu's house, that would be great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bosses, I really can't pay back the money for now. Why don't you see if these two are of any use to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, she is my wife, and we still have our marriage certificate. He is also my grandson. You can see if you want to take him as a coolie or take him somewhere else, it's all fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me some time to raise some money, okay? You can take them both away, take them wherever you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was daydreaming at this moment, actually thinking that Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng could buy him some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he still thought that these two pieces of trash could be sold for money in the Pigeon Market!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these people looked at Jia Jia Zhangshi's fat appearance and then at Bang Geng, who was as thin as a stick and a sickly person not even as tall as a child, and they lost all interest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking them back to the Pigeon Market like this, let alone being coolies, they were afraid they would die in the Pigeon Market!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were also startled when they heard this. They had heard things about the Pigeon Market; if they went in, it would be difficult to regain their freedom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He He Yuzhu, I think your brain is flooded with water! Look at what these two are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I send your wife to our Pigeon Market, what can she do besides eat and drink for free? And this sickly person, I'm afraid he'll die in my Pigeon Market!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough! I'll give you two more minutes. If you can't come up with the money, come back to the Pigeon Market with me and leave three fingers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patience of these people had reached its limit; they really didn't want to say any more stupid things to this idiot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had come this time hoping to see if they could get the money back, and then take Sha Zhu to curry favor with Qin Qin Huairu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, with Sha Zhu's current state, having already tried to sell these two old, weak, sick, and disabled people, it was impossible for him to pay back their money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sha Zhu could even speak, these people prepared to drag Sha Zhu away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yan Yan Bugui and Yi Yi Zhonghai heard the commotion and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had lost over 1,000 yuan, and his wife was truly arguing with him every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai, who hadn't closed his eyes all night and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, still felt some hesitation when he saw Sha Zhu being forcibly taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had already spent over 1,000 yuan. If Sha Zhu was taken to the Pigeon Market and maimed, he would be in trouble in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had no money left, and there was no hope of finding someone else to support him in his old age or send him off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the only person in the courtyard who still had some hope of supporting him in his old age was Sha Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brothers, since ancient times, it has been a matter of course to pay back debts. But isn't the deadline not here yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're asking for three of Sha Zhu's fingers as soon as you open your mouths. Isn't that a bit against the rules? No matter where you are, you have to do things according to the rules, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai put on his old First Uncle airs again, but clearly, it was of no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell does it have to do with you, you old bastard? Stop being a busybody here! If you can pay the 300 yuan for Sha Zhu, we will naturally let him go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't have money, stop pretending to be something here. We are doing business, not charity. If you owe money and don't pay it back, you have to follow our rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were truly impatient; how could they listen to Yi Yi Zhonghai's babbling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was about to be dragged away by these people, Sha Zhu was grasping at straws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First Uncle, First Uncle, Yan Yan Bugui, save me! Save me, I beg you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally managed to return to the courtyard. You are the First Uncle in the courtyard now. Aren't you much more powerful than Yi Yi Zhonghai? Can you say a word for me? Can you say a word for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was almost scared to the point of wetting his pants. The scene of having three of his fingers chopped off was something Sha Zhu didn't even dare to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he could only see if Yan Yan Bugui could save him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And everyone followed the direction of Sha Zhu's cry for help and saw that Yan Yan Bugui had completely changed into a different person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, so it's Teacher Yan! I really didn't expect you to live in this courtyard too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been a while, hasn't it? I've seen you less in the Pigeon Market these past few years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're still as energetic as ever! It looks like your life after retirement is quite good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss, who had just been fierce and hadn't given Yi Yi Zhonghai any face, now hurriedly changed his attitude and started to curry favor with Yan Yan Bugui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not only was Yi Yi Zhonghai dumbfounded, but everyone on the side was also dumbfounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai was also dissatisfied in his heart; he had spoken so politely, yet these people hadn't given him any face at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui hadn't said a word, yet he was being fawned over by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yan Yan Bugui clearly knew these people, Sha Zhu also saw hope!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First Uncle, you know these people. Can you help me? Can you help me? Only you in this courtyard can save me. I will definitely be your servant in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was also ecstatic; Yan Yan Bugui clearly had a high status among these people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yan Yan Bugui had absolutely no intention of saving Sha Zhu. After all, Sha Zhu's current plight was entirely his own fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was greedy and insisted on rushing to borrow money to do business with Xu Xu Damao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yan Yan Bugui hadn't failed to advise Sha Zhu before; it was just that Sha Zhu was too greedy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it has indeed been a few years since I've been to the Pigeon Market. I didn't expect your business to be so extensive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, his business has nothing to do with me. Do whatever you need to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Bugui was full of airs at this moment; clearly, the status of the two could be seen at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yan Yan Bugui used to help Chen Tian, he often helped Chen Tian go to the Pigeon Market to inquire about news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this back and forth, the Pigeon Market also knew that Yan Yan Bugui's relationship with Chen Tian was not shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Tian, the great Buddha, behind Yan Yan Bugui, the people in the Pigeon Market naturally had to be polite to Yan Yan Bugui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good? Teacher Yan, then that's really great! We thought this piece of trash could actually climb up to someone like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then when you have time, please say hello to Boss Chen for me. If there is a chance for cooperation in the future, you must think of my small business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was also very happy; after all, Yan Yan Bugui was someone many people in the Pigeon Market wanted to curry favor with, and he was actually so polite to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Sha Zhu was dragged away by more than 10 people from the Pigeon Market in front of everyone in the courtyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not a single person wanted to step forward to say a word for Sha Zhu; after all, they had long known about Sha Zhu's debt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that Sha Zhu couldn't pay back a single cent, it was considered normal for these people to take Sha Zhu away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Sha Zhu had nothing, and he borrowed 200 yuan based on a name. Anyone could guess that the money Sha Zhu borrowed wasn't clean money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enjoying such high returns naturally meant bearing the high risks that came with those returns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jia Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were also completely stunned in place; they didn't know what to do for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bastard Sha Zhu actually wanted to sell the two of them just now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and no one took a fancy to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they were really sold to the Pigeon Market, the chances of them getting out in this lifetime would be slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two of them thought about it, now that Sha Zhu had been dragged out, they didn't know when he would be back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't Sha Zhu's house be something they could live in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was food and drink in Sha Zhu's house; this was completely heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That damn bastard He He Yuzhu! He couldn't pay back the money himself, and he actually wanted to sell the two of us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, heaven has eyes, letting such a beast who couldn't pay back the money be dragged away. Bang Geng, that's great, our good days are coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't have to sleep in this courtyard anymore; we'll sleep comfortably in the house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This damn beast clearly didn't treat us as human beings. It would be best if he died outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi, who had suddenly figured it out, was particularly happy at this moment, feeling that it would be great if Sha Zhu never came back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on Bang Geng's face also completely changed; Sha Zhu being taken away was truly too beneficial for them!\u003C\u002Fp>",2031,"2026-06-16T18:44:27.665Z","2026-06-16T19:13:36.245Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","29af23b91254ad3eed4a5d7bc374ca2c1cbeaf6cd5895fef73fceefe436b70c7","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-279","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-277",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
