They had already heard from Liu Tiezhu how to use a grenade.

Remove the lid and pull down the ring to detonate.

If it touched an open fire source or high temperature, it would also explode.

It was a dangerous item after all, and it could only be used when Yan Da came out of prison.

Madam Qu thought for a moment and decided to bury the grenade under the banyan tree in the backyard of the villa.

They dug a deep hole that night and buried the grenade in it.

They thought that there would be no more trouble. Liu Tiezhu, who had obtained 30 taels of silver from the Yan family, had lost again after gambling with someone in private. This time, he owed even more, 50 taels of silver!

If he could not pay back the silver within a month, he would have to go to the army and ask the army to give his advance pay for more than two years to repay his debt.

Liu Tiezhu immediately thought of the Yan family. The Yan family was rich and would definitely help him return the silver.

There were so many people in their family, so it was quite a lot of money if each of them earned one tael of silver. Moreover, they had a villa and so much land. Old Madam Qu even bragged to everyone that she had invested in many projects in the bank and could earn at least dozens of taels a year.

He had always had something on the Yan family. They definitely did not dare reject him!

Hence, Liu Tiezhu, who owed a huge debt, came looking for them again. He asked for 50 taels of silver directly, causing Madam Qu to hit him with a broom.

“Do you have any shame? If you have the ability, go and make a fuss. At most, our entire family will fight to our deaths with you!”

Liu Tiezhu knew that the Qu family did not dare to fight to death at all. People with huge losses were most afraid of death.

He sat on the ground and shouted shamelessly, “Someone! Someone! Old Madam Qu wants to kill me! Their family forced me to do dirty things and even wants to kill me!”

Although the Yan family was in the villa and the land was wide, it was not that no one would pass by.

When Liu Tiezhu shouted, a few people immediately surrounded the door to watch the commotion and shouted inside, “What’s going on? Do you want us to help you call the patrolling soldiers?”

Madam Qu and the others were immediately dumbfounded.

If they really came, they would be walking into a trap if the army counted the grenade.

Madam Qu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. She could only lower her voice and say nicely, “Tiezhu, you earn two taels of silver a month. Our entire family’s monthly salary is not much higher than yours. We have to live our lives too, right? If you pity us, please be magnanimous!”

With Madam Qu giving in, Liu Tiezhu acted as arrogant as a halfwit, pea-brain. “You are asking me to pity you. Who can pity me? I’ve already said that the debtors want me to take out 50 taels of silver now, or they will force me into a desperate situation. I have no choice either!”

“How about this, Auntie? As long as you give me the last 50 taels, I promise I won’t look for you again!”

50 taels!

Who could take out 50 taels? Even Madam Qu s remaining retirement stash was only 40 taels!

If she took them all out, she would lose all her daily interest.

Madam Qu was so angry that her heart ached. She regretted looking for Liu Tiezhu to steal the grenade.

The others looked at each other, wishing they could beat Liu Tiezhu to death.

50 taels of silver was enough to buy an apartment!

Why should they pay off his gambling debt!

Gamblers were holes that could not be filled. If there was a first time, there would definitely be a second time!

They definitely could not give it to him again!

Yan Er said, “So be it! I’ll turn myself in now. Let’s see who dies first!”

Liu Tiezhu panicked for a moment, then right on the heels of that, he said, “Alright, 1 don’t want to live either! I just pity your child. He’s about to become a beggar without a father, mother, and milk!”

Everyone from the Yan family clenched their fists angrily. “Get lost! Get lost!”

Liu Tiezhu smiled evilly and shouted fearlessly at the sky, “Officer, come and catch me! I have a shocking secret to tell you!”

Yan Er was really afraid of him. He rushed forward and covered his mouth. “We’ll give it to you! Can’t we just give it to you!”

At this point, there was no way out.

When Yan Da came out, they would quickly set off for the Ling Kingdom and offered the grenade in exchange for wealth.

They could forget about the 50 taels of silver. In any case, when they arrived at Ling Kingdom and the investigation continued, Liu Tiezhu would pay the price sooner or later.

Liu Tiezhu smiled smugly. “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”

Yan Er resigned himself to fate and looked at Madam Qu. “Mother, take out your silver!”

Madam Qu cried, “How do 1 have silver? I can’t even take out a tael of silver!”

“What are you crying for? Who doesn’t know that Old Madam Qu is rich?! Be quick, or I’ll have to stay at your house for dinner tonight!”

Yan Er glanced at Liu Tiezhu, who was urging her, and lowered his voice to whisper in Madam Qu’s ear, “Mother, give it to us. After these days, let’s return to Ling Kingdom to earn money!”

Even if it was not as Yan Da had said, they would definitely become important people in front of Emperor Ling Hui. With their work experience in the workshop, they could still find a way to earn money.

Madam Qu could not bear to part with her money. That was her own money stash. She said with tears in her eyes, “Son, you should fork out 20 taels. I’ll get your brother to pay more!”

Yan Er said, “Mother, you know that I don’t have much money at all. All the expenses at home require money.”

Yan Er refused, while Song Tianxian glared back at her. “Neither do l!”

Madam Qu simply sat on the ground. “Just force me to death!”

Madam Qu cried. Under Liu Tiezhu’s repeated coercion, in the end, the second and third families paid 10 taels of silver. Madam Qu paid another 30 taels of silver before barely gathering 50 taels of silver.

These 50 taels of silver had already drained all the Yan family’s money on the surface.

In the end, less than two days later, Liu Tiezhu came looking for them again.

This time, he had taken a fancy to a girl from a family and wanted to “borrow” some silver as a betrothal gift!

The Yan family exploded again.

If not for the fact that they had a few acres of land at home, they would not be able to eat their fill. Yet, Liu Tiezhu still wanted money as a betrothal gift!

There had to be a limit to being shameless!

Yan Er cursed angrily, “Don’t you have any shame!”

Liu Tiezhu said, “Where can I get the money if I’m shameless? Who asked you to let me steal the grenade!”

The word grenade was like a bomb. The Yan family members kept peeping out of the door, afraid that they would be heard.

Facing Liu Tiezhu’s insatiable appearance, they could not do anything. They could not really let this idiot expose the matter.

When Tiedan and Doudou returned from school, they saw this uncle sitting at their door. They couldn’t help but ask, “Father, what is he doing?”

The children’s confused gazes pierced Yan Er’s heart.

If they continued to let Liu Tiezhu continue like this, their family might not be able to last more than half a year.

He had to think of a way to prevent future troubles.

Suddenly, Yan Er saw a kitchen knife shining coldly under the roof.

A cruel plan suddenly came to mind.

Liu Tiezhu was still shouting, “It’s really just borrowing some silver. 1 promise, I really promise this will be the last time!”

If he kept pulling the wool, even the sheep would become bald. Liu Tiezhu really planned to borrow 20 taels of silver first and come back again in a year or two to ask for money.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Er heard his words, his eyes turned cold and he finally made up his mind.

“Alright, we promise you!”
