Zhao Chenghai was stunned, looked at his son directly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhenhua still stretched out his hand: "Take it." ”

The corners of Zhao Chenghai's mouth twitched, his face was pulled, he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and asked in a low voice: "Who did you listen to about this?"

Zhenhua sighed: "Director Shi said." Daddy, you're in big trouble for others!"

"No, right? The loan has been loaned to me, isn't that my own money? What should I do, it still has something to do with the bank?" Zhao Chenghai cried with a sad face.

"It's your money, yes, but on the loan application form, we write that we are buying agricultural materials! The bank lends you money to support your agricultural production, not to let you make money with usury!" Zhenhua shook his head and said:

"The above is already investigating Director Shi, saying that he colluded with us to cheat on loans to make money, and if this matter is not handled well, Director Shi will be fired, and our 3,000 yuan loan will be repaid immediately. If you lend money to a loan shark, you might even go to jail!"

"So serious!?" Zhao Chenghai was startled, and the wine he drank from the pig killing rice turned into a cold sweat.

"Bring the IOU, I'll take a look!" Zhenhua said.

What he said just now, it was naturally Zhenhua who scared his father.

He knows that his father is stubborn and greedy for money, and if he doesn't scare him, he won't give up the small bargain he gets.

Zhao Chenghai was helpless, sighed, went back to the bedroom and rummaged for a while, and took out a note.

Zhenhua took the note and looked at it, frowned, "Lan Yushu?"

The IOU was made by Lan Yushu, who borrowed 1,000 yuan, and the interest was calculated on a monthly basis, with five cents of interest, and one month was counted as a month.

The day of borrowing money was a month ago, that is, the day when the old master sent the word and Lan Yushu came to ask for help.

Zhenhua remembered that the fish he ate that night, and his father went out after dinner, saying that he was talking to a craftsman about building a house. It turned out that he went to Lan Yushu's house.

It's really ruthless, if you use 1,000 yuan a year, you will get 600 yuan in interest!

Zhao Chenghai sat on a low stool by the door and smoked, bowed his head and sighed: "I didn't expect this to be the case either...... I think it's not safe to keep 3,000 yuan at home, and I won't need it at the end of the year anyway, so Lan Yushu just needed money urgently, so I lent it to him......"

"Are you lending money to others? Huang Shiren lent money to Yang Bailao, and he didn't feel good at all. Zhenhua muttered and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone, I'll give Lan Yushu a thousand yuan, and the remaining two thousand yuan is still at home, if you don't believe it, I'll show it to you!" Zhao Chenghai looked up and said.

Zhenhua was really worried about his father, nodded and said, "Okay, you can show me the remaining two thousand yuan!"

Zhenhua's mother answered: "Zhenhua, those 2,000 yuan are indeed at home, and I put them up with my own hands, there will be no mistake." ”

"Forget it, don't show it to me. Zhenhua put away the IOU and said, "I'll go find Lan Yushu and deal with this matter." ”

Zhao Chenghai hurriedly stopped his son and asked, "Do you want money from him now?"

"I don't want money, I don't want interest, this thousand yuan is for him to use in vain, otherwise Director Shi will be unlucky!" Zhenhua said.

Zhao Chenghai felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, shivered, and stammered: "But...... We borrowed it from the bank, and we have to pay interest!"

"Dad, don't think about money at this time, deal with it first, and let Director Shi pass this level!" Zhenhua shook his head, opened the gate, and walked to the village with an IOU.

As the night deepened, Zhao Chenghai was not worried about his son walking alone at night, so he hurriedly chased out: "Zhenhua, I'll go with you!"

Zhenhua looked back at his father: "It's okay to go together, but I'll deal with this matter, dad, don't interfere." ”

"Okay, you are in charge! I don't speak, and I don't enter Lan Yushu's house, just waiting for you outside the door. Zhao Chenghai sighed deeply.

Lan Yushu lives in Xiaogezhuang, a village with Hao Guolan, a professional matchmaker, and is only two miles away from Zhenhua's home.

The father and son did not use flashlights, stepped on the moonlight, and walked on the country road.

It was not cold but also cold, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the ground was full of hoarfrost.

Zhao Chenghai wrapped the old cotton jacket on his body tightly, and sighed: "Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, alas...... I didn't tell anyone about the loan sharking, so why did I let Director Shi know!?"

"You didn't say it, that's what Lan Yushu said. Zhenhua said.

"This bastard, I think he deliberately hurt me! I was kind enough to help him, and he bit me back, it's really not human!" Zhao Chenghai said indignantly.

"Don't talk about that now, it's important to get things settled. Zhenhua said.

Even if Lan Yushu is intentionally harming others, you have no problem now.

However, Zhenhua judging from his impression of Lan Yushu, he should not be such a sinister person, and he must have said it unintentionally.

Coming to the door of Xiaogezhuang Lan Yushu, Zhenhua raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The electric light came on in the bedroom at the east end, and Lan Yushu's voice came: "Who?"

Zhenhua walked to the window of the bedroom and said, "Uncle Lan, I'm Zhenhua from the third group of Dongwan, I came to you for something, you can open the door." ”

"What's the matter on this big night? Wait, I'll get up and open the door. ”

Soon, Lan Yushu got up and opened the gate.

Zhao Chenghai hid under the eaves and didn't say a word.

Zhenhua entered Lan Yushu's house, covered the door for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Uncle Lan, it's a big night, and I'm delaying you from dozing." ”

Lan Yushu looked at Zhenhua's face and asked, "Did you come alone?" I quarreled with your father again, and asked me to persuade you to fight?"

"No, it's for this thousand dollars. Zhenhua took out the IOU and handed it to Lan Yushu.

Lan Yushu took it and looked at it, and asked, "Now you want money?"

Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I don't want money." This IOU, Uncle Lan will write a new one, no interest, no penny. ”

Lan Yushu frowned, took out a cigarette and lit it: "What is this for?

Zhenhua said truthfully: "I won't tell you anything, this matter was known by the above, and he was looking for trouble with the director of the credit cooperative, saying that he lent money in violation of regulations, colluded with my father to cheat loans, and made money from the two dealers." Therefore, I don't want this interest, and my cousin will make a new IOU, with no interest, which proves that my father is not a second-hand dealer and has not made money through bank loans......"

"That's ...... so"

Lan Yushu groaned, found a pen and paper, and retyped an IOU with a brush, still according to the previous date.

Zhenhua put away the IOU and said with a smile: "The original IOU, Uncle Cousin, you can tear it up, that's it, you can use this money with peace of mind, don't worry." ”

"Then thank you, Zhenhua!" Lan Yushu picked up a bargain, was in a good mood, sent Zhenhua out of the door, and said:

"By the way, Zhenhua, I didn't tell anyone about this, could it be that your father said it himself, and others knew about it?"

Zhenhua shook his head: "My dad said that he didn't mention it to anyone. ”

Lan Yushu scratched the back of his head: "I know, it must be your cousin's mouth, talking to the women in the village when she was chatting!"

"It's Hao Guolan, who asked me about Zhenhua's three games of chess winning 3,000 yuan, and I just said it......" In the bedroom, Lan Yushu's wife said.

Lan Yushu glared at the bedroom window: "Look at your broken mouth, what are you yelling about? How much trouble do you bring to others? What is the glorious thing to borrow money, and you still talk about it everywhere!?"

In the bedroom, he sneered: "Blame me for borrowing money, if you have the ability to make money, don't ask someone to borrow money!"

"It's okay cousin, it's no big deal, you guys rest, I'll go." Zhenhua hurriedly said.

Lan Yushu put on his clothes and took Zhenhua's hand and sent forward:

"Huazi, I'm really sorry, go home and tell your father, you don't want interest, I can't treat him badly, pay back the money when the time comes, buy some good cigarettes and wine and send them over. As a man, you must always be reasonable, your money is also a bank loan, and it also has interest!"

Zhao Chenghai turned out from the corner of the gable, rushed to Lan Yushu's side, and said in a low voice: "Lan Yushu, it's good if you know!"

"Ouch——!" Lan Yushu was startled and shouted, "Big cousin, why are you huddled here like a ghost?
