88. The first time a debt was collected
Chen Chuan left, leaving the imperial capital where he had drifted north for six years, and he took his parents all the way south to return to his hometown.
Although his father was dragged on the train by him, he resisted: "I really don't know what you're thinking, it's good in the imperial capital, why do you want to go back, do you think I won't die early?" β
Chen Chuan was editing the apology and farewell text messages sent to Zhou Jingwen, he looked up at his father and said, "You can't hide outside for the rest of your life, no matter how good the imperial capital is, it is not your home." People who do something wrong have to be responsible for themselves, with me and you carrying it, what is there to be afraid of! Besides, your gambling debts are nothing compared to the housing prices in the imperial capital, and I can help you pay back the money by me, but I can't afford to buy a house. β
His father snorted heavily from his nose, in fact, he felt that what Chen Chuan said seemed to have a little truth, so he didn't complain anymore.
The family left the train station and arrived home safely for the time being. They got off the bus tremblingly, and a dilapidated tube building appeared in front of them, and the buildings in front of them were very out of place in this ever-changing city. The old building was supposed to be demolished ten years ago, but the developer abandoned the site because of the deposit of a few nail households, so a building that was built in an indefinite age has been β‘β‘ to the present.
"I don't know if this is demolished or not, the old Zhang family upstairs is really evil, if it weren't for him, we would have demolished it earlier, who would have to suffer this crime." His father climbed the stairs all the way and complained, "His family has money, so he doesn't have to live here, but we can't help it, we have to go back to this place." β
Chen Chuan felt that his father was also quite evil, and his father did not toss in the confrontation with the developer back then. As a result, the developer would rather give up this place than compromise with the nail households, and everyone regretted it.
Chen Chuan climbed upstairs with difficulty with most of his luggage, after such a long time of fitness, not only did he practice the vest line, but his body also improved a lot, and he climbed up in one breath, without having to take a breath. However, when he saw the words "Debt to Qian" spray-painted in red paint on the door of his house, he almost sprayed.
After entering the door for a little tidying, Chen Chuan went downstairs to the hardware store to buy some electric white oil, and began to wipe the paint on the door, these words were written quite large, Chen Chuan wasted a long time before erasing a "owed" word, just as he began to deal with the word "Qian", there was a sound of footsteps at the staircase.
"Boss, I'll just say that this family is back, just now I was downstairs, and I happened to see the lights on in his house, and I knew that someone was coming back at a glance." Someone was heard behind him.
Chen Chuan glanced back, and there were several men standing on the stairs, both tall, short, fat and thin. It's just because it's too unified, and there's no momentum at all. At this time, Chen Chuan, who was cowardly buns, was like Lu Yao's possession, he stood up and looked at those people coldly: "What's the matter?" β
"I don't talk to the kid who hasn't grown up yet, tell you to come out!" A fat man at the head said.
"Now this home is mine, tell me something!" Chen Chuan was at the door.
"It doesn't matter who I am in this family, I will talk to whoever pays back!" The fat man said.
Chen Chuan smiled, a scoundrel on his face: "What evidence do you have that we owe you money?" β
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the fat man took out a piece of paper and gave it to Chen Chuan, it was a copy of an IOU, which was written on it for a loan of 150,000 yuan, with an interest of five thousandths per day, and the name below was signed by his father's name. β
The fat man also laughed: "What a stupid person brought the original to you, who knows if you will tear it up, you will be stupid to me!" β
Chen Chuan scratched his nose: "Then we have nothing to say!" β
The fat man saw that he was not afraid of boiling water with a dead pig on his face, and motioned a few younger brothers to come forward to surround him, Chen Chuan said, "Do you want to do it?" β
"If you don't pay back, your mother won't know you!" The fat man said viciously.
Just as he was talking, Chen Chuan had quietly wrapped the rag around the bottle of electric white oil, and just when the fat man signaled to do it, Chen Chuan took out a lighter and aimed it at the bottle: "Don't come here!" He warned, "If this thing is lit, it will be a β‘β‘, and whoever is not afraid of death will come here!" β
These little brothers are just begging for food, and of course they won't lose their lives for a mouthful of food, so everyone took a big step back.
"You say yesβ‘β‘ it's β‘β‘, you really treat me as mentally retarded, don't believe him, he can't live if he burns people to death, who will take his life for this money?"
"Yes, just for this money, who wants to put their lives on the line?" Chen Chuan sneered, "But I'm not an adult, I probably killed someone, and I'll be locked up for more than ten years, if you don't believe that I have gasoline here, come and try it!" Chen Chuan tried hard to beat him.
The fat man and his subordinates looked at each other, but finally believed it, and he said nervously: "Little brother, if you have something to say, there is no need to take it for more than ten years for this matter, isn't it?" β
"Yes, more than ten years is also very precious!" Chen Chuan was a little tired with his hands up, and he didn't dare to relax at all, "But whoever wants to force me to be out of luck, then everyone will finish playing together!" β
His cruel words succeeded in scaring the fat man: "We can sit down and talk slowly!" β
"Talk about your uncle!" Chen Chuan cursed, "With five thousandths of interest every day, why don't you rob it!" β
"It's not easy for us to mix in this industry, we make hard money, you see that the interest on this day is only seven hundred and five, we have five people here, and everyone earns such a little money, which job is not more than this now, we also have to support our families!" The fat man tried to know it with reason, and moved it with affection.
Chen Chuan was defeated by his powerful logic, and he couldn't find a flaw: "Then you should change jobs!" β
"We all have no ability, no background, and we all have criminal records, even if we go out to find a job, people don't dare to ask us, don't have to do it, who will do it!" The fat man wiped a handful of bitter tears.
"Yes, yes, I used to deliver couriers, once, obviously the buyers signed for it, and said that they didn't receive it, and the company said that I had a criminal record, and I didn't believe me. When I went to the police station, the police also said that I had a criminal record, and finally told me to lose money, and I also wanted to reform myself, but this society did not give me a chance. A younger brother complained.
Everyone was sad and bleak, and they were just a song about Erquan Yingyue to meet the occasion.
"So little brother, you must not follow our old path!" The fat man was heartbroken.
"Okay, okay, I didn't say I wouldn't pay back, but you can't be weak, you are reasonable!" Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Your interest rate is too high, and it is beyond my ability. β
"As long as you put down what you have in your hand, we will discuss it. We'll let you do it! β
"One cent?" Chen Chuan said loudly, putting the lighter and β‘β‘ into another point, "What's the difference between that and letting go!" β
"Don't, don't, you can say as much as you want!" The fat men hurriedly retreated in fright.
"Then let four cents!" In fact, the interest rate of one percent is still high, but Chen Chuan doesn't want to force them too hard, otherwise it won't be so easy to talk to.
"Four cents? You're too ruthless! The fat man had a bitter face.
Chen Chuan said in a very helpless tone: "Since you are so embarrassed, then forget it, let's die together!" β
"I agree!" The fat man immediately decided.
"This is not calculated from today, and the previous interest must also be counted as a percentage." Chen Chuan stepped up the pace of negotiations.
"Good!" The fat man also agreed.
"Then write a note!" Chen Chuandao.
"Huh?" The fat man hesitated.
"Write quickly, my patience is limited!" Chen Chuan's hands were already very sore.
"Good, good!" The fat man hurriedly looked for a pen and paper, and finally tore off a page from the notebook and handed it to Chen Chuan to read.
"Show me your ID!" Chen Chuan commanded again.
"What? Why do you need an ID card? The fat man was puzzled.
"Who knows if you're going to fool me with a fake name!" Chen Chuan was cautious.
The fat man had no choice but to take out his ID card to show him, and after confirming that it was correct, Chen Chuan nodded: "Put the note on the ground, and people will roll!" I will pay back the money as much as possible. β
The fat men were pardoned and quickly slipped away.
When he couldn't see the figure, Chen Chuan finally let go, he shook his sore arm and entered the door.
His parents were hiding in the house, but they could hear the movement outside clearly, and when they saw him come in, they quickly asked, "Are they gone?" β
"Hmm." Chen Chuan was so distraught that he didn't have the energy to care about the paint on the door anymore, so he sat down in Ge You's lying position.
"You are so deceived by them, they will look back and find that something is wrong, and they will definitely not give up!" His father had palpitations.
"That's no way, black and white is proof, they can't rely on it! If they really want to be a scoundrel, we have to call the police. β
"It's useless to call the police for this kind of thing!" His dad sighed.
Chen Chuan also knew that it was useless, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then the fish will die and the net will be broken!" β
"Xiaochuan, don't do anything stupid!" Chen Chuan's hideous expression frightened his father, "In the end, I'm not good, it's all because of me, what happened to you, I don't want to live anymore!" Until this point, his dad finally regretted it.
Chen Chuan was moved, he sat up straight and comforted his father: "Don't worry, they definitely won't dare to come nonsense, I'll just talk about it, we will definitely be able to pay back the money!" β
