Wanjin Lady

Chapter 72 Explosive acting skills
Aunt Chen was very concerned about Wen Weiming's health. "Master, you've just recovered from a serious illness and are weak. Don't join in the fun. Leave the rough work to me and Hongmei!"

Lu Ping was very dissatisfied, "And me!"

Wen Weiming automatically translated in his mind: Charging into battle is a job for old women, you old man should just go back to bed and wait for their triumphant return.

Wen Wan yelled at Hong Mei, "Why are you using a feather duster? Go find some gongs and drums! Let's go and settle the score with Manager Ding while beating the gongs and drums!"

"Mother Chen, bring me a hundred copper coins!"

"Hey!" Hongmei immediately dropped the feather duster and dodged to look for gongs and drums. Wen Weiming quickly bent down to pick up the weapon dropped by Hongmei. Well, very good. Now he has a feather duster in each hand. Well, it seems that his fighting power is much stronger.

The group set off for Xinlong Money House in a mighty procession.

It had just rained in Ping County, and the bluestone road was wet, with only a few people walking on the street.

Suddenly there was a commotion on the street.

——Dong dong dong!

On the quiet long street, gongs and drums are loud!

Hongmei carried a small drum on her waist and hit the drum hard with the drumstick with all her might!

Mother Chen had a loud voice, and she yelled in time with the drumbeats: "Xinlong Money House is a scoundrel. They're forcing people to pay their debts in advance and killing them!"

Walking in front was a young woman, thin and petite, but she walked with a golden horse and broad sword, without any woman's restraint. Beside her was a tall and thin man wearing a mask, holding a long sword, with an imposing presence.

There were more than a dozen men behind him. The group was very aggressive and caused a commotion wherever they went. The people on both sides were so frightened that they opened their doors to watch the fun.

Wen Wan clapped her hands, and more than a dozen men behind her shouted in unison.

"Xinlong Money House is a scoundrel. They're forcing people to pay their debts in advance and killing them!"

"Xinlong Money House is a scoundrel. They're forcing people to pay their debts in advance and killing them!"

One voice after another.

Waves are higher than waves.

Everyone in the Wen family raised their feather dusters and wooden sticks with an astonishing momentum.

Someone leaned half of their body out, trying to hear clearly, "What... are you talking about?"

"It seems to be talking about Xinlong Bank!"

"Oh, you guys don't know yet, but Xinlong Bank just brought people to the Wen family to smash and destroy the house, forcing them to pay back the money!"

"Isn't it only natural to pay back a debt?"

"What do you mean by natural justice?! The debt owed by the Wen family was signed by the accountant who ran away. The Wen family didn't get a single penny. It was all taken away by Shi Jinquan!"

"Yes! I heard it clearly. It was written in black and white. The repayment period is still over a month away! I'd say the Wen family is truly unlucky. How could they have to deal with someone named Shi?"

"Isn't it? Shopkeeper Wen didn't say he wouldn't pay back the money, so why did the people from Xinlong Bank come and smash his house?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, "Hey! Money is being distributed! The Wen family is distributing money!"

Mother Chen was standing at the edge of the crowd, holding a savings box in her hand. Whenever she came across a crowded place, she would throw a handful of copper coins into the air, immediately attracting countless children to bend down to pick them up.

Chen Ma tossed out copper coins with great flourish, shouting, "Anyone else wanting copper coins? Follow me to Xinlong Money Exchange!" The children naturally surrounded Chen Ma, cheering and jumping for joy.

They couldn't understand what Xinlong Money House said, but they could hear the three words "copper coins" clearly.

Wen Weiming was among them, holding a feather duster in both hands, shouting at the top of his lungs, his blood boiling.

My daughter’s idea is good.

Xinlong Money House has been entrenched in Ping County for decades and is most afraid of losing its credibility.

They can't wait to force people to pay back the debt before the due date. This is totally unreasonable!
In a short while, more and more people followed the Wen family to watch the fun. At the beginning, there were only a dozen people, but later it stretched for several miles. Countless people brought their families and followed Wen Wan to watch the parade. It seemed that it was even more lively than the last Qiqiao Festival.

They arrived at the Xinlong Bank with drums and gongs beating all the way. Manager Ding had already heard the noise and was waiting at the door with one or two people. He asked Wen Wan with a look of surprise, "Manager Wen, what is your intention in bringing so many people to block my bank?"

Wen Wan shouted, "Fellow villagers, please help me judge the situation! Everyone knows that my family wrongly trusted a treacherous person. The accountant, Shi Jinquan, stole the land deed while my father was unconscious. He then colluded with the Xinlong Bank and defrauded my father of one thousand taels of silver! I, Wen Wan, made a bold statement at the wedding banquet that I will honor any credit that comes with real evidence, no matter whose name it is!"

"I accepted the debt from Xinlong Bank without hesitation! All the debts have been paid off! I don't owe anyone a penny! Everyone, tell me, is my Wen family righteous?"

Wen Wan deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for the supporting actors' reactions.

It would not be nice if she sang alone in this scene.

As expected, Aunt Chen immediately picked up the gag, "Shopkeeper Wen is so generous!"

Then, intermittent voices were heard from the crowd.

"Shopkeeper Wen is so generous!"

"But you, Shopkeeper Ding, are so kind! There's still a month left before the repayment date we agreed on, and yet you sent people to break into our Wen family's house, smashing things up and pushing my father down!" The young lady's voice was a bit more shrill. Wen Wan's acting skills exploded at this moment, stretching out her trembling hands, almost crying. "My fellow villagers, my father nearly died of illness some time ago, and he barely escaped death. And these people actually had the guts to attack a group of women and children! He's not just trying to collect debts, he's clearly trying to take our lives—"

From Zhao Heng's perspective, his wife was secretly pinching herself hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears.

Ok.

He slowly moved forward half a step and pressed his body against Wen Wan's back to prevent anyone from seeing her little movements.

Wen Wan continued to exert her strength, pointing her slender white finger at Shopkeeper Ding. "Think about it, everyone! Your family was in trouble, and you borrowed money from Xinlong Bank to tide you over. But before the money was due, Xinlong Bank sent people to break your hands and feet!"

Seeing the lack of reaction from the crowd, Wen Wan quickly adjusted herself. "Think about it, everyone. The weather is bad this year, the crops haven't grown, and you have a mother and children at home who need to feed. You went into town and saw the Xinlong Bank. Hopefully, you borrowed five taels of silver using your land deed to tide you over the winter, agreeing to redeem your land deed with the silver after the autumn harvest next year."

"You happily took the silver and went home, feeding your parents and children. You finally managed to get through the winter, and then you used the remaining silver to buy seeds and plows. You waited for the autumn harvest to quickly pay off your debts and get the land deeds back in your hands!"

“Just so!”

The young lady's voice was so rhythmic that it instantly moved everyone present!

The land is everyone's lifeline!

This involves everyone!

Especially those scattered fragments pulled on the cart are so shocking and make people feel particularly sympathetic!

"Just as you planted the seeds, the Xinlong Bank showed up, demanding you pay back your debt now! They stormed into your home, seized your land deeds, and even drove your parents and children out! Folks, how is this behavior any different from robbery?!"

Wen Wan's words provoked the anger of everyone present. Seeing that things were getting out of control, Shopkeeper Ding's face changed slightly and he shouted, "Shopkeeper Wen, today's incident must be a misunderstanding. The agreed repayment period has not yet arrived, and we absolutely cannot collect the money in advance."
