The next day...
Gong sun could be seen with a group of kids teaching them how to spell and pronounce some words. After she was done she promised them she'll teach them till they can read all the book in Joseon.
Just as she was still with the kids, they were interrupted by two thugs who are also her creditor. She borrowed money from them to buy medicine for her dying father and her disabled sister.
The thugs ransacked the bag she used in carrying the books she sell, after not finding anything valuable there the one of the man who seems to be the leader of the two said to gong sun that she knew how hard she begged before he lent her they money but now what was she trying to proove ?
Gong sun told him it was because the farming season wasn't good so it was a bad harvest year so the numbers of her customers decreased significantly.
The thug leader asked her how she's going to repay his money telling her will she pay back his 200 nyang nyang by selling the few worthless book she Carries around.
Gong sun was shocked hearing this immediately refuting the man saying it was only 80 nyang the last month so how did it suddenly became 200 nyang the next month ?
The man told her he added the interest for a full month which she hasn't pay so she finally agreed to pay him back by the end of the month .
The second thug asked her how she's going to repay their money so she told them about scholar seo yul who owns the biggest book store in town being her newest customer so she'll be able to repay them back .
The thug leader disagreed telling her he only gave her maximum of three days. Gong sun was terrified asking him where she s going to see such a big amount in t scale of three days.
The thug leader while also smacking her head with one of the books on the ground told her he doesn't care and that if the three days pass he gave her pass and she hasn't pay back his money he is going going to sell her, her parents and her disabled sister. Then he turned around and left with the other man leaving gong sun still kneeling on the ground.
