Chapter 248: Collateral
Seeing them looking at each other, there was something the loan shark didn't understand. After doing it for a long time, the family only thought about borrowing a thousand taels of silver from him, but none of them even thought about taking things as collateral.
Looking at them, the loan shark said with a displeased face: "You are not kind enough to do this by thinking about borrowing money from me, but you have not thought of preparing the items for collateral in advance. Tell me, what collateral can you come up with now? To be clear in advance, if I don't have anything as collateral, I won't lend you a copper plate here. ”
Seeing that the loan shark boss put down these words, the eyes of the Wang family suddenly focused on the Li family. She is the highest-ranking person in the Wang family now, and such an important matter at the moment naturally depends on her meaning.
Facing everyone's gaze, Li coughed lightly, and then said with a sigh: "Boss, you have caught up with the good thing of being an agent now, and matters related to this should be up to you." You can do it with confidence, it is the whole family that benefits from being an agent, and we will listen to you this time. ”
Regarding the problem kicked by the Li family, the boss of the Wang family secretly hated it in his heart. Taking out the family's belongings as a mortgage is a job that offends people, and he doesn't want to get his hands dirty.
Although he didn't want to get his hands dirty, the boss of the Wang family had to take over this hot potato. This time, he was the agent, and he was the one who wanted to borrow usury, and he was the one who benefited the most in the end. No matter how you look at it, he has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter, and he can't find a home if he wants to push it to others.
In desperation, the boss of the Wang family had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Since my mother has spoken." Naturally, the son had to take responsibility for this. This time the benefits are available to the whole family, so the mortgaged property is naturally owned by everyone. ”
Hearing him say this, the daughter-in-law of the second eldest of the Wang family immediately couldn't help but interject: "Big brother, what you said is right, but there is one thing that must be clear. Yes, the benefits of this time are indeed shared by the whole family, but there are also many benefits. The object taken out should match the benefit obtained, and this should be the principle of dealing with this matter, right? ”
glanced at his brother and daughter-in-law with deep meaning, and a trace of dissatisfaction rose in the heart of the boss of the Wang family. Before he could begin to arrange the mortgage, the long-tongued woman jumped out and pointed fingers. is clearly trying to force their family to give more collateral.
Hold back the discontent in your heart. The boss of the Wang family pretended to be serious and said: "To be honest, there are not many things that our family can use as collateral. The life of the family has always been poor, which is also what the neighbors have always seen. I thought about it, and I thought that the only thing I could use as collateral for my family was the deed of this yard. ”
I heard that I want to use the deed as collateral. Li was the first to speak out against it: "Boss." It's not me talking about you. This courtyard is the only residence of our family. How can you take it out as collateral? In case of a mistake, where will our family live? ”
Before the words fell, the second child of the Wang family immediately said with a displeased face: "Big brother." How can you take the deed out as a mortgage? This courtyard is the ancestral house of the ancestors for many generations, how can it be taken out casually as collateral? In case there is a bad thing, what face should you use to face the ancestors and ancestors of the Wang family in the future? ”
Seeing that his opinion was opposed, the boss of the Wang family sneered, and then asked quite strongly: "Okay, you are all reluctant, then forget it." There is a shortage of collateral at the moment, if you have the ability, you can find another one in our house. ”
was asked by him like this, and the Li family and the second child of the Wang family were speechless for a long time, not knowing how to refute. Their family is indeed poor, and it is really not easy to come up with a priceless treasure. The two of them had some gold and silver jewelry at the bottom of the box, but on the one hand, they were not so valuable, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to take it out.
Seeing that they were speechless, the boss of the Wang family said with a cold face: "Except for the deed, our family has nothing that can be taken out as collateral." If you don't want to, we should not borrow the money. ”
Thinking of the benefits that being an agent can bring, the Li family and the second child of the Wang family immediately made up their minds in their hearts. As the saying goes, you can't let a child trap a wolf. If they want to get the many benefits of agency, they must give up the deed of this yard now, otherwise all the benefits are just empty talk.
Thinking of this, Li Shi turned his heart sideways and said with a smile: "Boss, don't get me wrong. I wasn't reluctant just now, but I was a little reluctant. Since there is only a deed worth a little money in the house, then go ahead and take it. ”
Seeing Li's statement, the second child of the Wang family immediately followed and said, "Big brother, don't be angry. When I said that, I was actually influenced by my mother. She has lived in this old mansion all her life, and she is always a little reluctant in her heart. As a son, of course I don't want my mother to feel sad, that's why I ......"
The second eldest of the Wang family wanted to speak and stopped, but stared at the eldest of the Wang family with his eyes. His appearance was clearly saying: Big brother, I am a filial piety, can you bear to blame me?
Staring at the eyes of the second eldest of the Wang family, the eldest of the Wang family secretly hated in his heart. was so robbed by him, and there were outsiders present, how could he be embarrassed to continue to pursue it? He hadn't forgotten that he was threatened by the Li family with filial piety, and that feeling was not wonderful at all. In order to avoid the original situation, he had to let go of the second child of the Wang family for the time being.
Similar to the thoughts of the boss of the Wang family, the Li family also secretly hated. What she hated was that the second child of the Wang family used her as a shield, and wanted to use her to hold the boss of the Wang family hostage.
The thoughts flowed in his heart, and Li said in a light tone: "The second child is filial, I see it in my eyes, but you understand it wrong." This courtyard is indeed an old mansion that has lived in several lifetimes, but no matter how important the old mansion is, how can it compare to the future of the boss? If it's for the boss to have a good future, don't say it's this courtyard, even the coffin book, I'm willing to take it out. ”
Hearing her words, the second child of the Wang family only felt a blockage in his heart. He wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but considering that he had just created the image of a filial son, he could only swallow this breath silently.
Seeing that the second child of the Wang family was deflated, the eldest of the Wang family felt a bad breath in his heart. He glanced at Li Shi with deep meaning, but secretly snorted coldly in his heart. Although Li was on his side this time, he would not have the slightest gratitude in his heart. He hadn't forgotten how the Li family had lost his face just now, and this account would have to be settled sooner or later.
These thoughts flashed in his heart, and the boss of the Wang family pretended to be helpless and said, "Since this is the case, then we have decided so." The mother will take out the deed later, and this time the collateral will be settled. ”
As soon as the words fell, the loan shark boss sneered beside him: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just take a deed out." Your courtyard is two or three hundred taels at best, and it would be too wishful thinking to borrow one thousand taels of silver with two or three hundred taels of collateral. Without a mortgage of five or six hundred taels, don't even think about the silver. ”
Hearing this, the Wang family's face turned dark. They thought it would be enough to come up with the deed, but they didn't expect it to be so much. “
Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, the boss of the Wang family said with implicit dissatisfaction: "For the sake of our family's more difficult situation now, can't we be accommodating?" This time we borrowed usury only as a stopgap measure, and it will not be long before we can pay back the money we have borrowed. ”
Hearing his words, the loan shark said with a disdainful face: "Who can come to borrow usury, who is not an expedient measure, and who is not a little difficult?" If everybody wants to be accommodating, then what are we going to do in business? ”
Seeing the tough attitude of the loan shark, the second child of the Wang family immediately played a round next to him and said: "Big brother, since this is the rule of other people's industry, we can't force it." Otherwise, let's take a fresh inventory and see if there are any other items that can be used as collateral. ”
Listening to his suggestion, the boss of the Wang family could only hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and agreed with an ugly face: "Okay, I have to do it now." Think about it together, do you have anything else at home that can be used as collateral? ”
Seeing her husband speak, the eldest daughter-in-law thought for a while, and then cautiously suggested: "Doesn't our family still have more than a dozen acres of land, can it be used as a mortgage?" According to the calculation of the day, the borrowed money should be able to be repaid clearly by the end of the year, and there must be no problems. ”
After listening to her suggestion, the loan shark immediately said coldly: "There are only a dozen acres of land in total, even if they are all good paddy fields, they are only one hundred and eighty taels." Truth be told, that's a long way off. ”
I heard that it was impossible to get together the collateral in this way, and the Wang family was in a difficult situation. All their family has to pay attention to the house deed and title deed, so what should they do now? If this trend continues, will they want to reduce the amount of money they borrow? In this way, all their previous wishful thinking will be in vain.
Facing the troubled Wang family, the loan shark suddenly smiled and suggested: "I have a solution, I don't know if you want to hear it?" If you follow my doctrine, you can borrow more this time. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the Wang family suddenly focused on the usury leader. They were all very curious, wondering what kind of doctrine he would propose. If his solution is really feasible, they will definitely consider it carefully. can empty gloves white wolf, this is a wishful thinking they have already begun to play.
After a pause, the boss of the Wang family said expectantly: "Er Mazi, if you have any good ideas, just say it, I'll listen." If it does, I'll do what you do. (To be continued......)
