Chapter 1440: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (19)

"What?!" Zhao Wei exclaimed, "Two hundred thousand taels?"

He was immediately furious and glared at the eldest lady: "Look at what your brother has done. He really dares to borrow money even though he owes 200,000 taels!"

The eldest lady didn't care: "Master, our Zhao family can't even come up with 200,000 taels, not to mention that he is your brother, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Originally the interest was not that much, but the Zhao family was a well-known wealthy family, so they asked for a little more.

Seeing that Master Zhao hadn't spoken for a long time, Scar threatened, "If we can't settle the bill today, we'll stay in the Zhao Mansion."

Zhao Wei pondered for a while and decided that he should not let this group of people cause trouble in the Zhao Mansion. Because of the fall of the Seventh Aunt's father, some dignitaries were unwilling to associate with them. If they knew that they owed money and could not pay it back, they would be even more unwilling to help them.

Zhao Wei gritted his teeth and said, "The Zhao family's shop has had some problems recently. I will give you 10,000 taels first. If you give us a few more days, I will definitely raise the money for you."

These debt collectors are not fools. They know that Zhao Wei's strategy is to delay the payment.

"Don't fool me. What if your family runs away or hires someone to kill us?"

"I promise, give me a month and I will definitely pay it back, but I really can't pay it back now."

Scar sat on the doorstep and said, "I don't care. If you can't get it out, we will stay here and not leave!"

Zhao Wei really wanted to faint immediately, at least he wouldn't have to see it or be bothered by it.

He listened to the eldest lady crying and got angry. He grabbed the eldest lady and threw her out: "I will divorce her today. The debt between her and her brother has nothing to do with me. If you want the money, go to the Zhou family."

Then Zhao Wei ordered, "Come here, throw Zhou Du out as well!"

"Master, Master, how can you be so cruel!"

"We are married, how can you divorce me?"

The eldest lady wanted to rush in, but Rongsheng led a group of servants over.

When Scar and the others saw a group of servants armed with sticks coming, they immediately retreated outside: "Zhao Wei, you owe a debt and you still want to beat people up?"

With the support of the servants, Zhao Wei shouted, "I tell you, from today on, she has nothing to do with the Zhao family anymore. You either go to the Zhou family to ask for money, or you will be kicked out!"

As he spoke, Zhao Wei took the paper and pen handed to him by Rongsheng, quickly wrote a letter of divorce and threw it in the eldest lady's face.

"Over the years, you have often taken banknotes from the treasury to help your brother, and I have always pretended not to see it. Now I have done my best. You should take care of yourself from now on!"

"close the door!"

The eldest lady was locked outside the door. She banged on the door and begged, "Master! Master, you can't be so heartless!"

However, Zhao Wei was already so angry that he felt dizzy and stormed back to the yard.

The Seventh Aunt also understood that she couldn't offend Zhao Wei at this time, so she hid back in her own courtyard in shame.

Scar outside the door saw that Zhao Wei really didn't intend to care about the first lady, so he threatened with the loan agreement: "This is signed in black and white. If you can't pay 200,000 taels, I can only send Zhou Du to the government office."

"Sister...sister, I don't want to go to jail. Sister, you have to save me..."

The eldest lady was suddenly kicked out and was left penniless.

"Now only your parents can save you." The eldest lady helped Zhou Du to stand up, "Come with me to the Zhou Mansion."

The noise outside was also conveyed to Dai Ke by the guards.

Now that the eldest lady has been kicked out, she owes a debt of two hundred thousand taels, which is something the Zhou family cannot afford.

When the time comes, Zhao Zihuo will have to pay the money.

But Zhao Zihuo was only a minor official of the sixth rank. If he wanted to pay back the money, he could only sacrifice his career.

By then, the eldest lady's son had lost his official position and all his property, and it was unknown whether she could continue to live.

Dai Ke asked the guard to go out, she walked to the cabinet and took out the box.

Most of the money I won last time was used to invest in shops, leaving only three thousand taels of silver notes.

Adding the five thousand taels Zhao Wei had given her before, there were still more than three thousand taels left. She took some out of it, put only five thousand two hundred taels into her sleeves, and went to Zhao Wei's yard.

Button button——

There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Wei cursed irritably: "Get lost!"

Then, a soft voice came from outside: "Master, it's me."

Hearing Dai Ke's voice, Zhao Wei immediately got up and opened the door.

When Zhao Wei saw Dai Ke's pleasing face, he felt all his worries disappear at once, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.

"How did you come?"

Dai Ke raised his eyes cautiously, as if frightened by Zhao Wei's roar just now: "I want to come and ask about the master's health, but am I disturbing the master?"

Zhao Wei quickly helped Dai Ke sit down: "I'm very happy that you can come to see me, why would I bother you?"

Seeing that Zhao Wei had a kind face, Dai Ke took out the banknotes from his sleeve and placed them in front of Zhao Wei.

"The banknotes that Master gave me last time, after buying some clothes, there are 4,900 taels left, plus the 300 taels I saved over the years, a total of 5,200 taels, Master, would you like to count them?"

Zhao Wei looked at the banknotes and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me the banknotes?"

Dai Ke looked worried. "I heard from the servants that the Zhao family's business had problems and many shops lost money. So I thought of bringing all my savings to here. I wonder if I can help a little."

Five thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket considering the Zhao family's current situation.

But Zhao Wei was very moved by this: "The Zhao family is in danger now. One of my brothers is gambling and implicates the Zhao family, and the other one just wants me to help her father. Only you want to help me through the crisis."

It is also through the contrast between the First Lady and the Seventh Aunt that Dai Ke's good qualities are fully displayed.

Dai Ke patted the back of Zhao Wei's hand and consoled him, "Since I have married you, I will share the honor and disgrace with you. I will definitely do my best to help you."

"If the master needs anything, I am willing to... go to Lord Fang for help."

Although Dai Ke did not say that she was humiliated, her embarrassed expression showed her unwillingness.

Zhao Wei refused without a second thought: "No, you can't ask Fang Zhishan."

Now that the Zhao family is in danger, if Dai Ke goes to Fang Zhishan for help, the other party might take the opportunity to take Dai Ke to Fang's house.

Although the Zhao family is in danger now, they are not bankrupt. They just lose some shops.

Compared to Dai Ke, these are nothing.

"But besides going to see Lord Fang, what else can I do to help you, Master?"

"Ke'er, it's just that a few shops are having problems. It's not a serious problem and will be fine in a few days. You don't have to worry."

"But if I don't do anything, I'll always feel guilty."

Dai Ke then pleaded, "Master, when I was at the Dai family, I also did some small business on my own, but later the mistress found out and ordered me to hand over the shop and confiscated the money I earned."
