Chapter 52: Mortgage Liam

Of course, Frank doesn't take Liam to the park to play, but uses him as a prop to beg along a bustling street.

This business is actually not bad, as long as you don't show your face, at the end of the day, how can you get two or three hundred dollars.

And Frank never knew what a face was.

If he is given enough time, he may really be able to scrape together the gambling money of 10,000 yuan by himself.

Of course, the most likely thing is that after only two days of work, he took the money he begged for, went to an unknown place, and died in his sleep.

However, if his creditors pressed him hard, Frank might not have a chance to escape.

His creditor was in a hurry, and after waiting for a day, he didn't see Frank giving him money, so he immediately went out to find Frank, who was begging in a car on the street, and arrested him.

The creditor took Frank to a welding shop, and with a few friends from the big five and three thick, surrounded Frank and asked, "When will my money be given to me?"

Frank also wanted to use his three-inch tongue to fool the test, "Hey, brother, I had a great time last night!"

The creditor said expressionlessly, "Where's my money?"

Frank grinned and pretended to be affectionate, "Dude, we just had a joke last night, are you really serious? I'll tell you, if that bet is mine, I won't ask you for money!"

I added in my heart: I didn't win now, of course, if I really won, it's two different things!

The creditor didn't listen to his nonsense, took a pair of scissors from the side, and said to the person next to him, "Take off your shoes." ”

Then, approaching Frank, he said viciously to him, "If you can't get my money, I'll cut off your toes and burn them with a blowtorch, you can imagine what it tastes like!"

"One toe counts you a thousand dollars, and if you have eleven toes, I'll keep one for you!"

As he spoke, he held Frank's foot down, opened the scissors, and clamped the little toe of Frank's left foot.

When Frank saw that the debtor was serious, he quickly shouted, "OK! I'll give you the money! You have just stolen the money I begged for!"

The creditor took the handful out of his pocket, counted it, and said, "Only sixty?"

"I've only been working for less than an hour! I can make at least five hundred dollars today, you only need to give me twenty days, and I can earn that ten thousand dollars back for you!" Frank hurriedly squirmed.

"You cut off my toes, it won't do you any good, why don't you let me go now, I promise, I will pay you back at least five hundred yuan a day, twenty days, at most a month, and you can get enough of your money!"

"I don't believe you, I need a collateral!Where did you get this kid from??," the creditor thought for a moment, and accepted Frank's argument.

"His name is Liam, and it's my son!" said Frank.

"He's a black man!" the creditor is also a black man, and he has a black question mark face when he hears this.

Frank grinned, "Hey, man, I'm also of black blood, but I'm just light-skinned! Or like Michael, I have albinism." ”

"Shut up!" The creditor couldn't see Frank's wrinkled face and a begging smile because he was only in his forties because of alcohol and drug abuse, "I don't care if he is your son or not, I want to keep him as a pledge, when you exchange my money, when I will return the child to you." ”

Frank rolled his eyes, "You mean, Liam is worth ten thousand?"

"Shit! He's worthless with me, I want my money!" the creditor rebuked, guessing Frank's idea.

"But Liam is my begging prop, and I can beg for money thanks to him - people always have more compassion for a single father whose child is still in his infancy, and without him, my begging efficiency would be greatly reduced." Seeing that Liam could not pay off the debt, Frank tried to fight for it and did not let him stay as collateral.

"It's not my business! I need to get my money so you can bring your son back!" said the creditor.

"Come on! you can't do this!" Frank struggled.

"Well, let's cut our toes!" the creditor picked up the scissors.

"No! Liam can stay!" Frank immediately stopped insisting.

"You can get out now!" the creditor, although pretending to be vicious, was not actually a professional blackman, but just an ordinary welder.

$10,000 is almost one-third of his annual salary, and although the gambling income is not very legal, in the United States, which pays attention to the spirit of contract, he has no problem asking for debts.

Even if it goes to the judge, the creditor is justified.

However, it was a failure for him to force Liam to stay.

For the sake of himself, Frank can ignore Liam's safety, but Fiona, Lip and others will not do this.

At first, Debbie didn't dare to tell Lip that Frank had taken Liam, and she still had a glimmer of hope that Frank would be able to get Liam back on time.

However, it wasn't until dinner time that Liam's people were still nowhere to be seen, and Fiona, who had returned from work, was anxious and asked where Liam was, and Debbie told the truth.

Fiona and Lip immediately set out to find traces of Frank and Liam, which of course were impossible to find.

After Frank came out of the creditor, he did not continue to beg, because he knew that the creditor would not give him twenty days to a month to slowly raise the gambling debt.

Even if the creditor gave him this time, he couldn't hide Liam's whereabouts for so long.

Not to mention twenty days, he can't hide even a day, as long as Fiona and Lip find out that he took Liam away, they will definitely come to the door.

With Debbie, who is young and has kindness to him, Frank can still coax the past, and there is nothing Frank can do about Fiona and Lip.

Especially Lip, at today's meeting at the Gallagher House, Frank didn't see the slightest father-son affection in Lip's eyes, and if Lip knew that he had mortgaged Liam, who was just over two years old, to his creditor, Frank wasn't sure what Lip would do.

It may be more painful and unacceptable than having ten toes cut off by a creditor.

Frank had no choice but to find other ways to raise money as soon as possible to ransom Liam.

He returns to Jackson's house to raid the good-natured Sheila.

Now Sheila, who has not yet recognized his true face, has a certain affection for him, and Frank believes that as long as her situation is described as critical enough, Sheila will not sit idly by.
