Chapter 409 The Light of Hope
Just as Mingtai was about to continue beating Xiaorou's adoptive father, several gangsters rushed in.
"Hey, it's quite lively at home today." They walked in unscrupulously and pushed some clutter around the house.
The adoptive father who was still arrogant at first changed his face to a flattering one when he saw them, "Brothers, why are you here now? Didn't you say you would come back in a few days..."
"We have accounts to pay, and we are not doing charity. Do you have the final say when the day comes?" The gangster patted his adoptive father on the face and interrupted him irritably.

"I heard that your daughter recently hooked up with a rich second generation and has a lot of money, so why don't you get the money out quickly!"
Mingtai approached Su Ming and asked in a low voice, "The rich second generation he was talking about couldn't be you, right?"
"Go to the other side." Su Ming rolled his eyes at him, speechless.
When those few gangsters saw the two of them muttering, they immediately focused on Mingtai, "Hey, it looks like it's you. It just so happens that he owes us two hundred thousand, so you, the future son-in-law, should pay it back for him."
It turns out that people can really laugh when they are extremely speechless. For example, Su Ming couldn't help but smile.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that he is a monk?"
"Two hundred thousand! Where did the two hundred thousand come from?" Xiaorou was a little confused, and then looked at her adoptive father in disbelief, "Are you gambling again? And you bet so big again?"
The guilt on the adoptive father's face flashed across his face, and was quickly replaced by sternness, "What do you know! I didn't do it all for you. It's just that I was unlucky and lost the bet. If I had won the bet, it would have been several times. One million, wonβt we no longer have to live a hard life?β
Xiaorou collapsed and fell into the arms of the male ghost sister, "Bet bet bet! When have you ever won a bet! You might as well just kill me!"
"You white-eyed wolf! How dare you talk to your dad like that! I won't beat you to death!" When the adoptive father saw that Xiaorou dared to yell at him, he became furious. He picked up his belt and wanted to hit Xiaorou again.
A sharp shout suddenly came from outside the door, "Stop!"
Mingtai turned around and saw that it was the upstart.
He hurriedly ran in and slapped each of the gangsters on the forehead, "You two and a half, didn't I tell you not to touch this family?"
"Boss, are you confused? This family is now married to the second generation of rich people. They have a lot of money. How can we wait if we don't need the money now?" The gangster covered his head and spoke aggrievedly.
The upstart took out Su Ming's family portrait and said, "Do you know who the rich second generation next to him is? Do you know his parents? You dare to offend him."
"I don't know you." Several gangsters shook their heads like rattles.
The upstart had a look of hatred on his face, "Get out of here, I'll take care of you when I get back."
The few gangsters looked at each other, shrunk their heads and retreated out of the door.
When the adoptive father saw the upstart, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and showed a flattering smile, "Big boss, why are you here in person? Don't worry, my daughter has just come..."
"Get aside." The upstart pushed him away and approached Su Ming, "Master Su, why are you here in person? Don't worry..."
"Are you here to collect a debt?" Su Ming interrupted him.
"Yes, yes, yes." The upstart nodded, then shook his head wildly and waved his hands, "Oh no, no, no! How can the person you are protecting owe me money?"
Su Ming glanced at Xiaorou, "Didn't I pay back the money she owed? Where did the two hundred thousand come from?"
"What two hundred thousand? There is no such thing as two hundred thousand." The upstart immediately apologized.
"If I ask you, just tell the truth." Su Ming looked cold.
The nouveau riche could only shrink his head.
"You have indeed repaid all the money this little girl borrowed from my men, but her father heard that we can borrow money here, so he came to us and borrowed 100,000 yuan. With interest, the total is 200,000 yuan. He also said If you still canβt pay, give this little girl to us.β
"You even sold your daughter, but you're still not a human being!" Hearing this, the male ghost's sister immediately hugged Xiaorou tightly and cursed angrily.
"I have raised her for so many years. Would she be where she is today without me? I just needed money in a hurry. What's wrong with her?" the adoptive father said confidently.
Su Ming sneered, "So, he owes the two hundred thousand yuan and it has nothing to do with his daughter, right? Since he owes money and his daughter doesn't owe money, then you are owed money and you should pay the debt Itβs a matter of course, how can you just say you donβt want it?β
The upstart was a little confused about what Su Ming meant, "You mean..."
"Why did you ask for the debt that you should have asked for now? But you can't insist on the debt that you don't have. You can go to whoever owes you money. Those who don't owe money shouldn't be affected, right?" Su Ming said. He looked at Xiaorou meaningfully.
The upstart thought of his adoptive father's attitude towards Xiaorou just now, and instantly understood.
"Oh oh oh, I understand. You are here today, so I don't want to make a big move. When you are not here another day, we will do whatever needs to be done. Don't worry, we won't touch that girl."
Su Ming nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked to Xiaorou, saying softly.
"Sister Xiaorou, don't worry. You should have a good rest today. These debtors have already told you they won't ask you for money. The money your father owes has nothing to do with you."
Xiaorou's eyes showed bitterness, but she didn't say much.
"Thank you."
Su Ming warned Xiao Rou's adoptive father, and then took Ming Tai and the male ghost sister away.
Ming Tai was very worried, "Little Living Buddha, we are leaving like this, she will be fine, right? Although you asked the big boss not to ask Xiao Rou for money, her scum adoptive father will definitely take money from her."
"It's okay, I have arranged it all." Su Ming looked calm.
"Arrange?" Ming Tai was puzzled.
"Let's come again tomorrow, and you will know for yourself." Su Ming didn't say much.
Early the next morning, the nouveau riche brought his younger brother to smash Xiao Rou's house into a mess.
"Old thing! Let me tell you, the young master said that even if you can't pay the money, we can't sell your daughter. What you said before is not counted, but you must find a way to pay this money back!"
"Boss, please forgive me, I will definitely find a way to give you the money." The adoptive father was pressed to the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Okay, I'll give you three days. If you can't pay, it won't be your house that will be destroyed." The nouveau riche shook off his fat and took people to move away all the valuable things in the house.
Xiaorou just came home from school and saw the mess at home. She was so scared that she took two steps back and met her adoptive father's eyes.
The adoptive father, who was originally in a state of despair, suddenly had a light of hope in his eyes when he saw Xiaorou.
