Chapter 742 The Replicas Are Better (2)_1
"Pah! Shut your mouth! Do you still have the face to make a fuss in my house?! Last year you earned more than three hundred taels of silver with the spicy cabbage—do you still have the cheek to cry poor?! If you don’t want to compensate, then go see the official!" Pei Qian jumped up, raising her voice as she cursed.
Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing’s complexions both stiffened, "Who told you we made more than three hundred taels of silver?!"
Pei Qian snorted coldly, "You took all the spicy cabbage; how much you made of it, how much you shipped, what prices you sold it for, how much you earned—anyone with eyes could figure it out. And still, you have the nerve to come here crying poor. You broke my family’s Jade Cabbage Sculpture worth five hundred taels; all these years, you’ve saved up quite a bit, and with the money from the spicy cabbage in recent years, you could at least repay four hundred taels! Even if you’ve opened a noodle shop, that doesn’t take much capital to start; right now, you could pay back three hundred taels!"
Fang Hui’s vision darkened, and she nearly fainted. This petty wretch! She had managed to get all the inside information on their family—was she intent on bleeding them dry?!
Feng Shouxing too was dumbfounded, "We don’t have that much! Absolutely not that much! All spent on getting a daughter-in-law, having a son!"
"Then send it to the government office, first suffer the spankings, then let the government officials come to take it away!" Pei Qin held out the written debt note and asked them both.
If they really sent this to the government office, they would lose all face; they’d still have to compensate the silver, and perhaps they would demand even a thousand taels.
"If you’re unwilling to compensate half, then just compensate a thousand taels!" Pei Qian bit her teeth and glared furiously.
