Chapter 281 2 Eyes 1 Black
"It was two days ago. I owed one thousand taels, plus two days' interest, the total is one thousand and forty taels." The people from the gambling house have already come to his door. Even if Si Chengren doesn't say it now, Si Wei Zhong will know it soon. In that case, he might as well confess.
Hearing this, Wang Qiuhe covered her mouth with her hands, trying to muffle the scream that was about to come out of her mouth. Because her back was facing Si Wei Zhong, he did not notice it.
Remember a few days ago Si Chengren asked her for two thousand taels for business, Wang Qiuhe felt heartbroken, now she owed the gambling house one thousand taels. Needless to say, the other two thousand taels must have been lost in the gambling house, otherwise why would he borrow the money?
Si Wei Zhong must not be told about the two thousand taels of silver that he lost. Even if the people from the gambling house come to ask for the money, they probably won't say anything.
"One thousand taels?" Si Wei Zhong suddenly raised his voice. A man who only received fifty taels of silver a month actually had the courage to borrow one thousand taels.
"Do you know how much effort I put in to earn this 1,000 taels of silver? Just with a few words like that, the 1,000 taels of silver are gone."
"Dad, at that time, someone in the gambling house kept encouraging me to borrow money, so I was bewildered and got into big trouble. I know this is wrong. I have been staying in my room for the past two days. I want to tell you about this, but I dare not."
Si Chengren lowered his head, his shoulders drooped weakly, his eyes looked at the ground, and his voice was filled with tears, making people reluctant to blame him.
After all, he is his own son, and Si Wei Zhong can definitely afford the one thousand taels. It's just that two things happened at the same time today, so he got so angry.
Seeing Si Chengren like this, Si Weizhong's anger faded a little: "You never gambled before, why did you suddenly go there?"
Speaking of this issue, Si Chengren's mind was confused for a moment. He had not told anyone about wanting to lend money to Li Xiaoxiao. He was the only one who knew about it, and he certainly couldn't let Si Wei Zhong know about it.
Si Chengren was just about to say that it was his friends who asked him to go, and it was not his own initiative.
Si Wei Zhong seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in doubt: "You went to the gambling house because you wanted to lend Li Xiaoxiao three thousand taels of silver."
"No, it's not like that." Si Chengren raised his head suddenly, his face full of fear and confusion, trying his best to deny it. How could his father know?
Si Wei Zhong had been in officialdom for many years, so how could he not see his panic at this moment? He had guessed it right, Si Chengren wanted to lend money to Li Xiaoxiao.
Si Wei Zhong felt his eyes go dark and he staggered back two steps. Wang Qiuhe quickly supported him and managed to steady his body.
With his eyes tightly closed and breathing heavily, he really didn't understand what kind of drug Li Xiaoxiao had given them to make his two sons gamble and steal just to lend her money.
"Chengren, you are confused. That Li Xiaoxiao is against your father in business everywhere. How can you lend her money again?" Wang Qiuhuo also had a look of disappointment on her face. She really couldn't understand what her two sons were thinking.
Although she felt sad, she must not let Si Wei Zhong know that Si Chengren took two thousand taels of silver from her. Si Chengyi would be exiled to the farm. If they knew, what if they were forced to go together?
"Hurry up and admit your mistake to your father, and never do this again." Wang Qiuhuo quickly winked at him.
Si Chengren was frightened and fell to his knees in front of Si Wei Zhong. He didn't know why he had been so possessed that he borrowed so much money from the gambling house at once. However, he still had illusions about lending the money to Li Xiaoxiao.
"Dad, I shouldn't have borrowed money from the gambling house. I know I was wrong."
"Is it over just because you know you're wrong? How are you going to pay back all that money? Now they've come to your door, should I clean up this mess for you?" Si Weizhong was extremely angry. His two sons, whom he was so proud of, could actually do such stupid things.
"I'll figure it out myself." Si Chengren had never seen Si Wei Zhong so angry before, so he blurted out the answer without even thinking.
"Can you think of any solution? Go gambling again." Si Wei Zhong seemed to have heard a huge joke.
It's not that he doesn't trust his son. Si Chengren is a good eater and hassle-free person, but he has never earned a penny in his life. How could he possibly pay back one thousand taels of silver?
"Okay, I'll return the money." Si Wei Zhong snorted coldly.
Si Chengren was delighted, thinking that the matter was over. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Si Weizhong say again, "You go to the farm in Chengyang County early tomorrow morning, and come back when I tell you to."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, ignoring the pleas of Wang Qiuhe and Si Chengren.
"Master, Chengren can't go to the farm." Wang Qiuhuo shouted loudly, tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to reach out to grab him, but her hand stopped in mid-air and she shrank back and let it go. She had just been beaten and she didn't want to be beaten again.
"Dad, please, I won't go to the farm." Si Chengren was dumbfounded. Although he had done something wrong in this matter, his crime was not serious enough.
Tang Xiuwen didn't like what Si Chengrengui didn't like, but she had to save face, so she also started to plead: "Wei Zhong, it's only one thousand taels of silver, why not let him stay at home and reflect on his mistakes for a few days."
He had already taken one step forward, but when he heard Tang Xiuwen's words, Si Wei Zhong paused. Yes, it was only one thousand taels of silver. Actually, if you think about it carefully, the amount was not too big. It was all because of Si Chengyi. He was almost confused by anger.
"Face the wall in the room for a month, and no one is allowed to visit you." Si Wei Zhong left with a few words and strode away.
Finally, he didn't have to go to the farm, and Si Chengren finally felt relieved.
When Si Wei Zhong arrived at the door of the reception room, he heard a voice coming from inside: "He is just a side branch, but he is so arrogant that he made us wait for so long."
"He owes us money for gambling. He thinks we can't do anything to him if he doesn't show up."
"If he dares not to pay, I will take the IOU to the government office and sue him. It's written in black and white, so he can't deny it if he wants to."
As soon as Si Wei Zhong entered the room, he saw several young men sitting crookedly on stools, talking dirty. When they saw him come in, a young man who looked like a leader stood up sloppily, held his head high and looked arrogant.
