. “After exchanging a glance, the Shi brothers saw Chuan’s whole body swollen beyond recognition.

“It hurts so much, my internal organs ache… Shi Cai was too ruthless…” Chuan clutched his belly with a look of near-death, “If I die from this pain, I must become a ghost and make Shi Cai compensate for my life…”

Sensing the situation going awry, Shi Fang sheepishly said, “Second Brother

Xiao, we have other things to do, so we’ll leave first…”

Xiao Yishan blocked their way with his iron arm, “That easy? You guys attacked first, and now you want to slip away? Look at my third brother, he’s half dead. Pay his medical bills, or don’t even think about leaving!”

A group of relatives from the Shi Family were also cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Since the Shi brothers were in the wrong, nobody would stand up for them.

“You must pay Chuan’s medical bills…” Aunt Zhang also added her support.

“You’re all wrong and still brought so many people, you can’t bully people like this, quickly pay up!” More villagers continued to discuss and despised the Shi brothers.

Shi Fang and Shi Mu regretted their actions deeply; they would not have come if they had known this would happen. They initially thought that Xiao Yishan would certainly be out hunting, leaving only Xiao Yuchuan and a mute daughter-in-law, along with the Xiao Family’s fourth son with a crippled leg. Even if the Xiao Family couldn’t come up with the money, they planned to forcibly take the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law and sell her to pay their debts.

No matter how undesirable the wife of the Xiao Family was, she was still a woman. If Old Lady Liu didn’t buy her, they could still sell her to other human traders for five to eight taels. They never expected the situation to turn out like this…

“Second Brother Xiao, you see…” Shi Fang said with a grieved face, “Our Shi Family also has a hard time making ends meet. We have many mouths to feedthe old and the young. My brother Shi Cai loves food and is lazy, he’s ruining the family. We really don’t have any spare money…”

“No money, so you don’t need to pay? ” Xiao Yishan snorted, “My Xiao Family’s situation is much worse than yours, yet we didn’t see you people stop coming.”

“This…” Shi Fang chuckled awkwardly and said, “How about… we offer a hundred copper coins… ”

“One tael of silver, and we’re square.” Xiao Yishan’s face was cold.

“One tael of silver…” Shi Fang wailed, “Second Brother Xiao, you’re slaughtering us! ”

“How amusing,” Xiao Yishan’s voice was cold, “When you guys from Shi Family come, you directly ask for dozens of taels, and I only want one tael…”

“It’s because we Imew you guys didn’t have money and would haggle, so we had to quote higher…”

“Enough with the nonsense. I don’t have time for you to haggle. Today, it’s either you pay one tael of silver, or…”

Their faces lit up a bit, but before they could celebrate, Xiao Yishan continued, “Did you see Chuan just now? I’ll beat one of you two brothers into that shape, and we’ll be even.”

The Shi brothers’ faces turned pale, realizing that they might not be able to heal even after spending dozens of taels. They wouldn’t stand a chance in a one-on-one fight against Yishan, the fierce man. Just look at Zhao Shugen, who was thrown out earlier.

They craned their necks to look and saw that Zhao Shugen, who was thrown outside the courtyard, had already fled without a trace long ago.

“Please, Second Brother Xiao, can we make it a little less…” Shi Fang tried to negotiate as much as possible.

Xiao Yishan grew impatient, “Enough with the nonsense. Either both of you brothers fight me together, and if you win, we forget this ever happened.” His massive iron fist clenched, the “crack” sound of his knuckles was crystal clear, scaring everyone present into silence.

“Alright, alright… we’ll pay, we’ll pay…” Shi Fang swallowed his saliva, “Second Brother Xiao, we didn’t bring any money with us, and there’s no ready cash at home, how about we deliver it another day…. ‘
