The Hunter's Lively Wife-Chapter 2058: Owed Debt

"Debt?"

Mrs. An was furious when she heard Gu Tiezhu mention debt, "Fourth child, how many times have I told you? But you refused to listen! How could you be so infuriating? Gamble, gamble, gamble! Do you have so much money that you can’t finish gambling? Even borrowing money to gamble?"

Mrs. An reprimanded Gu Tiezhu harshly. If Gu Tiezhu hadn’t been lying in bed unable to move, she would have really wanted to give him a good beating.

Gu Tiezhu, fearful that the people from the gambling den would really take apart his hands and feet, pleaded with Mrs. An, feeling both timid and scared.

"Mom, I was wrong, son was wrong. I promise I won’t gamble anymore. Mom, please, please go talk to Brother Three and Brother Five for me, they have money, they can definitely help pay off my gambling debt."

Gu Tiezhu didn’t want to lose his hands and feet, he begged Mrs. An to ask Brother Three to help him pay off his debt, knowing that if his mother spoke on his behalf, Brother Three would surely help considering her face.

Mrs. An was angry, but after all, Gu Tiezhu was still her flesh and blood, how could a mother not feel pain?

"Third, Fifth, look at your brother Tiezhu now, he knows he was wrong, you are all his brothers, for your mother’s sake, please help Tiezhu?" Mrs. An looked at Jianghai and Gu Ya, asking them to help Gu Tiezhu pay off the debt.

Gu Ya and Jianghai exchanged a glance. Helping Gu Tiezhu was possible, but Gu Tiezhu was like a bottomless pit. If he didn’t learn his lesson this time, he would definitely gamble again.

As Gu Tiezhu’s brothers, Gu Ya and Jianghai could help him once or twice, but if he repeatedly made mistakes without correcting them, they couldn’t endlessly help him pay off gambling debts.

Moreover, their silver wasn’t blown in by the wind; they earned it to support their family, provide for their wives, honor their parents and elders, not to endlessly pay off Gu Tiezhu’s debts.

Gu Ya and Jianghai both remained silent.

Gu Tiezhu panicked upon seeing Gu Ya and Jianghai unwilling to help with his debt, "Third Brother, Fifth Brother, if you don’t help me pay off the debt this time, those gambling den people will really take apart Fourth Brother’s hands and feet!"

"Good riddance, without those hands, you really wouldn’t gamble anymore!" said Jianghai, speaking harshly out of anger.

Gu Tiezhu had been severely beaten earlier today, he was genuinely scared. He knew better than anyone what those gambling den people were capable of. If they said they’d take apart his hands and feet, they weren’t joking.

"Fifth Brother, I’m wrong, I’m really wrong. Fifth Brother, if you help Fourth Brother pay off the gambling debt this time, Fourth Brother promises to never gamble again, really, Fourth Brother will keep his word." Gu Tiezhu feared Jianghai would reject him again, and was almost swearing oaths to convince him.

Jianghai looked at Gu Tiezhu with a blank expression and said nothing. Gu Tiezhu then turned to plead with Gu Ya, "Third Brother, please help your brother out! We’re real brothers, aren’t we? You always took care of me before; this time, you surely won’t stand by and watch Fourth Brother get his hands chopped off by those gambling den people, right?"

Gu Tiezhu looked at Gu Ya with anxiety, when suddenly Mrs. Chu asked, "Fourth Brother, how much silver do you owe the gambling den exactly?"
