Chapter 393: This Is My Money
"Nope! Absolutely impossible! There's no way I'm going to give Jessica to you! Rebecca took two steps back with Jessica in a panic, leaned against the wall, and shoved Jessica behind her, looking at Valk in a resolute tone.
Over the years, she has heard many rumors about Valk, and I don't know how many women have fallen into his hands in the miners' family area, and none of them have ended well, not even the little girl.
Just some time ago, a child less than twelve years old was pregnant with his child, but he was drunk and kicked in the stomach, one corpse and two lives, that girl was used by his gambler father to pay off, you are just a child! If Jessica was left in his hands, she couldn't imagine what would happen, so she would rather take Jessica to death!
The little brother standing behind Valk laughed, his eyes swept over Rebecca's mother and daughter unscrupulously, such a pair of orphans and widows are the best to bully, especially if there is still a bit of grace in this way, the boss can't look down on it, maybe they can be cheaper, this kind of thing has happened before.
Not far away, there were also some people standing at the door of the black bungalow looking this way, but their faces looked a little numb, just staring blankly, not seeing anger, nor excitement, without any expression.
The black gravel path was potholed, and it had rained the day before, and some of the pits were covered with black water, blending in with the black bungalows around them, like a pit standing on the ground.
……
"Xiaomi, are you sure it's this alley?" McGonagall asked, pushing her bike and looking back at Amy, who was sitting in the back seat.
"Uh-huh, father, I'm really sure Jessica's house is in this alley this time." Amy nodded earnestly.
"Okay, let's take a look then." McGonagall smiled and nodded, although he wanted to complain a little about what Amy said the same three times before, but after all, it was his own little fairy, what could he do, he still had to push the bicycle and continue to walk, carefully avoiding small puddles.
Accustomed to the thriving streetscape around Aden Square, I am still a little uncomfortable with the slum scene, even in the chaotic city, there are still many people living in poverty and hardship.
……
"This is not up to you, the debt repayment is written in the law of the chaotic city, if you can't pay it back, then I can use your things to pay off the debt, I don't like anything in your broken house, and this little girl looks worth a little more." Valk shook his head, looked at Jessica and smiled, "Do you know how much you owe me?" I'm good at everything, but I'm too kind, after all, I'm a noble second-class knight, and I have mercy on you, that's why I made such a request to you, otherwise, even you have to be mine. ”
"My husband died in a mining accident the year before last, and I borrowed 20 gold coins from you to bury him......" Rebecca clenched her fists, holding back her grief and anger.
"Twenty gold coins? Heh, two years have passed, Li Luoli, you now owe me a total of 500 gold coins, which is still a fraction of it, you say, is your daughter worth this price? Am I being too kind to you? Valk sneered.
"Yes, Lord Valker is the kindest man in the world!"
"Only adults would be so generous, if it were me, then it would be a mother and daughter."
The younger brothers followed suit, and the rude laughter sounded very harsh.
The smile on Valker's face grew brighter, and he seemed to be in for the compliments, watching Rebecca wait for her answer.
"How...... How could it be 500 gold coins! Rebecca looked at Valk in disbelief, shook her head and said: "Impossible, I only borrowed 20 gold coins from you, how can it become 500 gold coins, you can't talk nonsense like this, I will go to the city lord's mansion to sue you!" ”
"This is the IOU you signed and drew back then, with half of the monthly interest written in black and white on it, and it has more than 500 gold coins until now, even if you sue the City Lord's Mansion, then I will win, and the City Lord's Mansion will help me force you to repay the money, and let you hand over your daughter to me to pay off the debt." Valk shook the IOU in his hand and smiled suspiciously, and the younger brothers also laughed.
Rebecca looked at the IOUs in Valk's hand and the piercing smiles of those people, feeling as if the whole sky had fallen, and there was a loud and piercing laugh in her ears, as if she was going to tear her eardrums, and subconsciously hid Jessica even more behind her.
Jessica looked up at Rebecca, who was completely panicked, the expression on her little face was scared, but she didn't cry, she stretched out her little hand and held her mother's hand tightly, wanting to give her a little warmth and support.
Rebecca was stunned for a moment, looked down at Jessica, and suddenly held Jessica's little hand tightly, as if holding the last straw, came back to her senses, looked at Valker and said: "Lord Valker, please give me a little more time, Lord Woodrow said, my husband's pension and maintenance over the years will be paid soon, it must be more than 500 gold coins, and I will definitely return it to you all at that time, please let us go, let Jessica go, she is just a child, a five-year-old child." ”
"You're so innocent." Valk shrugged his shoulders with a smile, thinking that Rebecca had taken two steps closer, leaned over, and lowered his voice in her ear: "Lord Woodrow is my uncle, and he told me personally that the pensions for those absenteeism who died in the mining accident that year had actually been paid a long time ago, and the compensation and funeral expenses had also been paid, but without your share, even if you died, you would never have been able to wait for the money that your husband exchanged for his life." Because, that money doesn't belong to you lowly black rats in the first place. I'll enjoy your daughter, and if she lives a few more years, she might even have a baby. ”
"How can this be ......" Rebecca's pupils gradually dilated, looking at the hideous smiling face of Valk in front of her, her already somewhat sickly face became more and more pale, and her strength seemed to be taken away all at once, and she could no longer support her body, and slowly sat on the ground against the wall, as if even her soul had disappeared together.
"I heard that a few days ago, you went to buy medicine with a dragon coin, you have money to see a doctor, but you don't have the money to pay it back to me, this is not right, except for this little girl today, the rest of the money should be used as interest." With a wave of his hand, two big men stepped forward to search for Rebecca.
"You are not allowed to bully my mother! You bad guys! If my father were still around, one punch would send you flying!" Jessica rushed out from behind, her hands outstretched in front of Rebecca.
"You let that short-lived ghost crawl out of the coffin and beat us."
Everyone laughed, and one of the big men ripped off the money bag from Rebecca's waist, and the money bag was torn, and with a clanging sound, a handful of gold, silver, and copper coins fell to the ground, and some jumped into the puddle.
"Stupid, pick them all up for me." Valk frowned a little unpleasantly, and the big men hurriedly attached themselves to pick up the money.
"No, it's not my money, it's someone else lent me, I have to pay it back......" Rebecca struggled to her feet, but was stepped on her shoulder by Valker's foot.
Varkle pinched Jessica's chin with his other hand, looked at Rebecca and grinned, "I said it's mine, that's mine, and from today on, she belongs to me too." ”
A gold coin jingled and rolled forward, and a large man covered in tattoos bent over and followed.
The coin hit a wheel and spun around and stopped.
The big man looked happy and stretched out his big hand to pick it up.
But as soon as his hand touched the gold coin, one foot also fell, as if a heavy hammer had fallen, and he stepped directly into the black gravel.
"It's my money."
A somewhat cold voice was accompanied by a loud scream.
