Chapter 143: It's Usury

Ji Dashan's face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "You, you, how could you have...?"

The man burst into laughter: "This is the mortgage your son gave me personally. Even his handprint is on it! You better take a look. With these house deeds and handprint, reporting to the authorities will be useless!"

Ji Dashan stared at Ji Xiaobao, only to see that he was already scared and had hidden behind Lady Ding.

"What on earth is going on!?" Ji Dashan roared, feeling as if his lungs were about to explode.

The man sneered, "Your son borrowed fifty taels of silver from me, using these house deeds as collateral. The deal was that if he couldn't repay within three days, your house and land would all be mine. Now the three days have long passed, and not a single cent has been repaid. This house and land belong to me!"

Ji Dashan's lungs were about to explode as he yelled at Ji Xiaobao, "Ji Xiaobao! Where's the money!?"
