章 417: 417

Qian Er was out of jail, but he had already turned into a gravely sick man.

Hence, Hen Xiang had no option but to bring him back to their shack, which was battered by wind from all sides.

Qian Er's father was lucky and managed to gamble for several days with the one tael of silver that they had. Hen Xiang had no other choice but to tirelessly take care of Qian Er. Whether it was cooking for him or cleaning after him, she did it all. Yet, just after three days, she was on the verge of breaking down.

The reason was very simple. Qian Er had been ruined.

This was no sham. He had brutally been turned into a "eunuch".

Not the hands of government officials but his debtors were behind his current state.

Qian Er was always a peculiar man. A few years back, he borrowed two taels of silver from a man, promising to repay him in two months. However, a whole half year passed and he did not return a single wen coin.
