Lin Chuan's heart, which had just been set down, was now lifted again. It seemed that Shi Houcai, the old fox, really had many tricks up his sleeve, able to instantly rally so many people for debt collection.
The new crowd mixed with the original dozen people, and those who originally wanted to leave also stayed put. Even the villagers who had already walked away stood in the distance watching, afraid to miss out on any good fortune.
The crowd started to clamor loudly again, manipulated in secret by Shi Rongguang and Er Gou's wife and others. Originally, they planned to drive Lin Chuan away, but seeing that the crowd wasn't cooperating, they simply shifted to a collective debt collection, as long as the Huang family couldn't pay up, Shi Rongguang would have the opportunity to use this to coerce Huang Mengqi into agreeing to marry him.
