These days, when you mention gambling, people turn pale. No one wants to help, as gambling is a bottomless pit; the money lent out is usually never recovered.
Every household is barely scraping by, even if they see the Meng Family heading for ruin, they are powerless to help.
The villagers are well aware of Meng Wengan's unreliability, only Meng Chongxi believes this son will eventually make something of himself.
"There's no way the Meng Family can come up with two hundred taels, and Yan'er is a fierce girl who won't agree to be sold. I'm afraid Meng Wengan is really going to have his fingers chopped off."
"He deserves it."
"He made this mess himself and still wants to sell his sister to pay the debt. It's only Meng Chongxi who thinks he can still be saved. To put it bluntly..." The villager didn't finish the sentence, but everyone understood.
