Ling Chu was already aware of the shamelessness of this family and had no hope that they would obediently pay off their debts.
Xia Youxin saw that Xia Daqing not only refused to acknowledge the IOUs, but also accused him of getting him drunk and signing them while he was unconscious.
Xia Youxin's puppet hurriedly said to Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, those IOUs are absolutely true, and every word was written by Xia Daqing.
Village Chief Wang recognizes Xia Daqing's handwriting. You can give him the IOU to help him check it. "
Ling Chu nodded to Xia Youxin, and then said to Xia Daqing, "It is only natural to pay back debts. These documents were written by you yourself, and there is your signature on them. This is not something you can deny just because you want to. "
"Village Chief Wang, could you please help me take a look at this IOU? Are there any questions?"
Village Chief Wang took the stack of IOUs handed over by Ling Chu and could tell at a glance that it was indeed Xia Daqing's handwriting.
But even with Village Chief Wang's confirmation, Xia Daqing always claimed that Xia Youxin signed the contract while he was drunk and refused to admit that he had ever borrowed the money.
Ling Chu sneered, "How can a drunk person write so neatly? Do you want me to get you some wine now, get you drunk first, and then try to see if I can write the IOU like this?"
Xia Daqing immediately became speechless.
Although he borrowed money from Xia Youxin, he never thought about paying it back.
But in order to win Xia Youxin's trust and get the money smoothly, he would write the IOU properly every time and then bring him to borrow money.
Now it is impossible to deny that he wrote it, and once he is drunk, he sleeps like a dead man.
Let alone writing with a pen, he couldn't wake up even if he beat gongs and drums in his ears.
Seeing that he was speechless, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into the house to search for money.
Hu Batian was worried that all the Xia family's money had been confiscated by Ling Chu, and wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Ling Chu.
"Please wait a moment. Everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis. After Xia Daqing clears my maid's debt, I will let him pay your gambling debt."
Although Hu Batian didn't want to agree, seeing Master Ning looking at him coldly, he could only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into Xia Daqing's house and secretly opened the system for scanning.
Seeing her walking towards the Tukang, Xia Daqing wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Wei Feng who was ordered by Ning Chuyi.
There was a cabinet on the kang. Ling Chu took out a small hammer and smashed the lock on it.
Ask Xia Zhi to take out a box from the cabinet and open it. Inside the box are the house deeds, land deeds, and two land deeds for Xia Daqing's house.
Xia Daqing looked at the box in Xia Zhi's hand and trembled with distress.
He wanted to go forward and snatch the box back, but Wei Feng was staring at it and did not dare to act rashly.
He could only try to comfort himself in his heart, these things would be gone if they were gone, and he had other money.
Xia Daqing originally thought they would leave after getting the box, but unexpectedly he saw Ling Chu walking to the left of the Tukang, and a bad thought flashed through his heart.
I happened to hear Ling Chu pointing to the wall near the Tukang and saying, "Xia Zhi, come here and take this brick away."
Xia Daqing's heart was bleeding as he watched Xia Zhi take out the banknotes that he had hidden for several years under Ling Chu's guidance.
"All my valuables are here. Take them and leave quickly."
Walk?
That is impossible.
The few things I found were not enough to pay off 30% of my debt, so how could I leave?
Ling Chu ignored Xia Daqing and went to Ning Chuyi to borrow some Jin Yiwei and asked them to move another cabinet in the room that contained several quilts, clothes and other items.
Xia Daqing watched helplessly as Ling Chu commanded the Jin Yiwei to dig up the ground and dig out the clay pots hidden underneath. His eyes were bloodshot with anger.
He really wanted to strangle Ling Chu to death.
Hidden in the pottery jar were, in addition to three jade pendants of decent quality, five silver ingots weighing twenty-two pounds, and a small piece of gold.
This is the money that Xia Daqing worked so hard to get, and now it's all gone.
After searching Xia Daqing's house, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi into the house where Xia's family kept debris.
When Xia Zhi saw the messy house filled with debris, her face was filled with confusion, "Girl, everything here is worthless."
Xia Zhi thought there would be no good things hidden here, but Wei Feng didn't think so.
He followed Ling Chu to search for money several times, knowing that she would not do anything meaningless, and guessed that there must be something valuable hidden in this house.
Seeing Ling Chu staring at the pile of debris in the room, he couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look.
Ling Chu rummaged for a while, pointed to a jar with a small hole in it, and asked Wei Feng to help move it out.
Opening the lid of the jar, Wei Feng saw that the contents were wrapped in cloth, so he simply turned the jar over and poured out the contents.
Xia Zhi picked up the package and opened it. Inside there was a set of silver hairpins, hair pins, hairpins, hair combs, rings, earrings, necklaces, silver bracelets, etc.
In addition to these jewelry, there are more than one hundred taels of silver ingots and fifty taels of silver notes.
These things were all saved by Mrs. Liu over the years. She knew that her husband was a gambler and was worried that Xia Daqing would take them away and lose, so she found a broken pickle jar and hid it in the utility room.
Unexpectedly, these things were not found by Xia Daqing, but were searched out by Ling Chu.
Mrs. Liu was in great pain, but she didn't dare to snatch it back.
She was worried that if she took action, the ghosts of Xia Youxin and his wife would attack their children again.
No matter how much she was reluctant to give up, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
After searching the utility room, Ling Chu took people to Xia Dongqiao's house.
Xia Dongqiao was going to get married next month, and the most valuable things in his house were the betrothal gifts. Ling Chu waved his hand and asked Jin Yiwei to carry them all out.
Without a betrothal gift, which girl would be willing to marry?
Seeing that the marriage was about to fail, Xia Dongqiao ignored the pain in his legs and stepped forward to stop him in a hurry, "My father is the one who owes the debt. These betrothal gifts are mine. You can't take them away."
Xia Zhi sighed and cursed angrily, "Xia Dongqiao, you have never done anything, let alone made a penny. Although these things were purchased by your family, they were bought with my family's money. Now I What reason do you have to stop us from carrying things away?"
Xia Dongqiao jumped to his feet in anger, but was also stopped by Jin Yiwei.
After searching Xia Dongqiao's house and the house of Liu's daughter and youngest son, Ling Chu didn't let them go either.
One after another, I searched for some valuable things.
In the end, only Mrs. Zhang’s house was left.
Seeing Ling Chu and Xia Zhi entering her house, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly chased them in.
But he was immobilized by Ling Chu's immobilizing charm.
Ling Chu broke the lock of the kang cabinet and said, "Xia Zhi, take this brocade box away."
"There is also a long box under the kang cabinet with jewelry in it."
"Tear this cotton-padded jacket open and there are banknotes inside."
"Come two people, take down this bed board, and then dig out this clay pot."
…
Madam Zhang couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Ling Chu and his men searched out all the money she had worked so hard to obtain.
He was so angry that his vision went dark and he fainted.
