My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

"sister……"

The figure's voice was weak.

It was obvious that they were asking the shop owner for help.

Everyone realized what was happening and looked at Su Wanning again.

A cold smile flashed across Su Wan Ning's lips, her wrist loosened almost imperceptibly, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"Family treasure!"

"Bang!"

The plate was smashed to pieces.

Su Wanning ran over, "Jiabao? What's wrong?"

"Oh, so you're his sister? Living in such a nice house, eating and drinking to your heart's content, how can you not care about your brother?"

The burly men had already surveyed the entire courtyard, their eyes filled with greed.

However, having collected so many debts, they've developed a keen eye for these things.

There are people in this courtyard whom they cannot afford to offend.

Otherwise, they would have rushed in already!

Xiong Qi, who was leading the group, suddenly remembered something, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Sis! You have to take care of me, sis!"

Lin Jiabao quickly tugged at Su Wanning's sleeve. He originally wanted to squeeze some money out of Su Wanning, but this money was useful and not for paying off Xiong Ye's debts!

Who knew we'd be so unlucky as to be discovered by Boss Xiong's men!

Now that they've been forced into this situation, Su Wan Ning has no choice but to pay off her debts first. "Seventh Brother, my sister has money, she'll pay off my debts! Sister, hurry up and give me the money, eighty-seven taels!"

"Didn't Uncle only owe Steward Feng seventy taels?"

Su Wan Ning's face turned pale.

"Oh dear, sis, what time is it? Why are you still worrying about that?"

Lin Jiabao was in excruciating chest pain, but he forced himself to explain, "Doesn't seeing a doctor and taking medicine cost money? I... I only borrowed eighty taels."

"You just said eighty-seven taels, where did the other seven taels come from?"

Su Wanning raised her voice to question him, feeling both angry and heartbroken.

Before Lin Jiabao could speak, Xiong Qi strode into the courtyard. "Young lady, don't you know our rules? Here, money is paid in taels a day, and it's easy to borrow and repay."

He pointed to the darkening sky, "Another day is almost over. Young lady, you'd better hurry up and bring the money. After midnight, it will be eighty-eight."

"you!"

Su Wan Ning glared at him angrily, "I have no money, but you can take my life..."

"No, no, no, sister, please!"

Lin Jiabao quickly interrupted her, hugged her leg and started crying, "Your aunt and uncle only have me as their only son, sister, why don't you mortgage the shop to them? I'll definitely pay you back as soon as I make money."

Such shamelessness caused Mu Xun, Xie Yan, and the others to immediately darken their faces.

The Meng sisters exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing tightly.

Xu Lingxi wanted nothing more than to go up and beat him to death, but just as she was about to speak, Su Wan Ning's clear and cold voice rang out.

"Jiabao, have you forgotten that you have an older sister in the palace?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Does Lady Su have a cousin? Is she also from the palace?

Xiong Qi was also surprised, and kicked Lin Jiabao, "You're quite the hidden devil! What does your sister do in the palace? Let her peek a little out from between her fingers!"

"My sister lives too far away; distant water can't quench immediate thirst."

A flash of resentment crossed Lin Jiabao's eyes, but he quickly regained his pitiful expression. "Cousin, are you just going to watch me get beaten to death?"

Su Wan Ning looked at him disapprovingly, "Kids shouldn't talk nonsense. Xiong Ye and the others are reasonable people, why would they beat you to death?"

"Yes, we won't do a losing business. If you can't pay up, we'll sell you to the mine."

Xiong Qi nodded.

Su Wan Ning's eyes were red. "Over the years, you've squandered all the money I sent you. I only borrowed money to open this shop to help you. Jia Bao, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you should be more down-to-earth."

She clutched her chest. "Just to save face in front of Jiang Tao'er, you insisted on borrowing ten more taels of silver, and you spent it all on clothes, clothes, food, and entertainment for her. Now that you can't pay it back, instead of thinking about going home to sell your house and land, you've set your sights on the shop that I finally managed to repair. You... you've really disappointed your cousin."

"Lin Jiabao, have you forgotten that you still owe Madam Su eighty taels of silver?"

Upon hearing Xu Lingxi's words, Xiong Qi's eyes lit up.

Lady Su? It must be the one his mother was talking about!

He grabbed Lin Jiabao by the hair and slapped him twice across the face. "Shameless wretch! Do you even know what a watch is? Go back and sell your family's big brick house. If that's not enough, have your own sister send money back!"

Two large red handprints immediately appeared on Lin Jiabao's face.

He was in excruciating pain, his teeth were loose, and his eyes were filled with undisguised hatred as he looked at Su Wan Ning. "If my parents hadn't taken you in, you would have been beaten to death like a monster long ago! How could you still be alive? What's wrong with sending money? That's your duty! You wait, if you don't pay back my money, I'll make sure you can't drive anymore..."

"Snapped!"

"You little bastard, I'm only giving you three days. If you don't pay up, you'll be working in the mines!"

Xiong Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed the person and left, saying, "Madam Su, we've disturbed you."

A group of people dragged the cursing Lin Jiabao away.

Some people kept turning back, dissatisfied with leaving empty-handed. "Seventh Brother, this shop is so nice, why don't we loot some things and take them with us? Who are the people inside? Are they that powerful?"

Can't I even take something without hurting anyone?

"You idiot! The mung bean soup your mother has been drinking these past few days was given to her for free by this shop!"

"Oh, how come I didn't know?"

The man was surprised.

"You're always going to those filthy places, what do you know!"

Xiong Qi only just remembered this. When he went home yesterday, his mother left him half a bowl of mung bean soup, saying that it was hard to get and that it was delicious.

He tasted it and found it to be sweet, fragrant, and refreshing.

Upon further inquiry, it was learned that the shop was run by a woman named Su. Although medicinal cuisine was not something that ordinary people could afford, Su was very kind-hearted and would cook two large pots of mung bean soup every night and distribute them for free.

Arrive early and get what you need; don't expect too much.

In this godforsaken world, being able to drink a bowl of mung bean soup is not just about tasting it, but it can really cool you down and even save your life!

Personally, he was happy that his mother was drinking mung bean soup.

From a public perspective, many people in the city benefit from this, which means more people can survive. As long as people are alive, why worry about not being able to collect debts later?

He absolutely could not make things difficult for Lady Su because of some little bastard.

Su Wan Ning really didn't know these things.

She watched those people gradually disappear from sight before her fingers loosened slightly. Only when the Lin family was completely unable to repay the money would they turn to Lin Yuwei for help.

She wanted to see whether Lin Yuwei would be willing to give up her money or watch these 'family members' suffer!

After regaining her composure, she smiled apologetically at everyone, "I really didn't expect this kid to show up here."

"It must be because Jiang Tao'er's scheme failed that day, so she went to find him!"

Xu Lingxi knew the Lin family's true colors best. "You absolutely mustn't be soft-hearted. Lin Jiabao definitely wasn't planning anything good, but before he could do anything, he was discovered by Master Xiong's men!"

"Lingxi, don't worry. If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. Jiabao... it's time for him to grow up."

Su Wanning gave a wry smile.

Of course she wouldn't be soft-hearted, after all, she was the one who brought Xiong Ye's men here.
