Chapter 16 Zhou Guodong owes gambling debts

In the days with Xiuxiu, the white-faced scholar's revenge plan for Zhou Guoliang has undergone subtle changes. He earnestly fulfilled his promise, scouted Ge Chunsheng's activity patterns, and unexpectedly discovered that Wenwen and Ge Chunsheng were frequently dating. Xiuxiu said that Ge Chunsheng was Wenwen's first love.

The white-faced scholar hesitated, and he told Zhou Guoliang many times about similar incidents that had occurred in recent years: a black fist occurred in a certain place in a certain year, and he used too much force to kill someone, the main culprit was sentenced to death, and the thugs were sentenced to ten years; A similar incident occurred on a certain day of the month, and the injured person was the son of the district chief. Three murderers were arrested within a week and sentenced to one to three years······

Zhou Guoliang was impatient. "You're trying to escape?"

The white-faced scholar said: "Definitely! Just a reminder for you. ”

The snot king said: "The white-faced scholar said a good point, you should be thoughtful, in case you mess up, it's not trivial." ”

Xiao Heipi said: "Ge Chunsheng has a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and he has the power to support him, not to be underestimated!" ”

Zhou Guoliang said: "You are afraid of him, I am not afraid." If you don't do it, I'll do it alone! ”

The white-faced scholar said: "Don't worry, don't worry! We think carefully and take a long-term view. ”

Zhou Guoliang noticed that they all wanted to retreat, and scolded in his heart for "not fighting justice". After thinking about it, it's no wonder that they are not heroes in the first place, and besides, this matter is too risky after all, and Ge Chunsheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now everyone is running for life, and no one wants to cause trouble, after all, the times are different, peace and security is a blessing, why can't you get along with the law?

Zhou Guoliang came home dejected and saw three big men sitting in the guest hall, menacing and eyebrows. He was taken aback, could it be that Ge Chunsheng heard something and struck first? Ge Chunsheng is not afraid of tigers and wolves, he can do anything!

Zhou Guoliang said in a trembling voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”

A big man with hanging eyelids said: "Looking for Zhou Guodong, are you his younger brother?" When will Zhou Guodong come back? ”

It turned out that he was looking for his brother, and Zhou Guoliang's heart was put down: "He has been very busy recently, and he doesn't come back until eleven or twelve o'clock every day." ”

A big man with a long beard said, "Okay, let's wait for him!" ”

Zhou Guoliang asked, "Do you have anything to do with him?" ”

A big man with an expressionless face and a strange voice said: "Catch up with him." We hadn't seen him for days, and we missed him so much. ”

Hanging eyelids said in a rough voice: "Zhou Guodong is not a thing, he doesn't pay off his debts, and he still avoids us, hum!" I can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school. ”

The bearded man shouted: "I think he is a toast and does not eat and drink!" If you don't pay back the money, I'm not kind to him! ”

Zhou Guoliang was taken aback. "How much does my brother owe you?"

Yin Yang said strangely: "No more, no less, 10,000 yuan." ”

Zhou Guo's conscience was shocked, 10,000 yuan is not a small amount, and his annual salary is less than 500 yuan! The family is so poor that it clangs, what should I take to pay it back? My brother is really right, he only earns forty or fifty yuan a month by selling coolies, and he has to go out to gamble! Ten bets and nine losses, doesn't he understand?

Yin and Yang said angrily: "Your brother is a man, and he is willing to gamble and lose, and he will not be bad." But if we don't talk about it, and if we don't take real money out to take a picture, the three of us are not at ease. ”

Zhou Guoliang said with a bitter face: "The three eldest brothers also saw it, our Zhou family is so poor that they don't even come to visit the door, where does the real money come from?" ”

Yin Yang said angrily: "The little brother laughed. Your eldest brother's gambling luck is not very good, but the gambling goods are first-class, and it is said that it is the same. He said that he had a treasure at home, so don't worry, or the three of us would stupidly lend him money? ”

Zhou Guoliang muttered: "What nonsense is my brother? If there is really any treasure, the family can still be poor like this! ”

Eyelid glaring and shouting, "Does the little brother want to repay the debt?" Aren't you afraid of missing arms and legs? Lao Tzu's fist is not vegetarian! ”

Zhou Guoliang was so frightened that he shrank his head and didn't squeak anymore.

Yin and Yang looked at his watch and said, "It's already twelve o'clock, it seems that your brother is deliberately avoiding us." It's okay, today the three of us met for the first time with Uncle Zhou and Little Brother to give you a face. When your brother comes back, tell him that within a month from tomorrow, let him pay back every penny. Otherwise, you'll see! ”

The beard said, "It's so cheap today, that kid?" ”

Yin Yang said angrily: "What are you afraid of?" If you run away, the monk can't run to the temple. Little brother, remember: a month, not a day can be delayed! ”

Zhou Guoliang watched the three of them walk away in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He went upstairs and saw his father lying on his back on the bed, letting tears run down the corners of his eyes. The mother sat on the edge of the bed, also with tears rippling in her eyes. The two of them frowned, and the atmosphere was extremely bleak. Zhou Guoliang couldn't think of what words to comfort them for a while, so he sat awkwardly with them for a while, and when he heard the sound of the door below, he got up and went downstairs, it was Guodong who came back.

Guoliang said softly: "There are three people who have come to look for you, fierce. ”

Gordon also spoke softly. "I know, if I go home early, what about my father and mother?"

"Crying upstairs. What are you going to do? They said that you will be given a one-month deadline in the end, what can you do? I don't think they're good enough to be provoked. ”

"There is a way, but you need to cooperate."

"Do you have a way? You told them that we have a treasure at home, why don't I know it? ”

"I also learned not long ago that there are several antiques hidden in the attic of my father's room, which are worth a lot of money!"

"Really? Our family's life is like this, why didn't Dad take it out earlier to exchange for money? ”

"Who knows. We have a stingy ghost father, guarding the baby and crying poor, blessed will not enjoy, and will not be blessed to wait for dawn! ”

"Dad hasn't been willing to take it out for decades, will he be willing this time?"

"So you want to cooperate, the antique is in the attic box, and the key is in Dad's pocket, do you know what I mean?"

"I understand. You want me to steal the key, why don't you steal it yourself? ”

"I don't have much time at home, I don't have a chance. I heard that your colleague Mr. Qiao is knowledgeable, so I have to ask him for help. ”

"If my parents find out, it's a big trouble."

"That's also a helpless thing, forcing Liangshan!"

Guodong and Guoliang muttered for a long time in the small room before they went to sleep. When Guo Dong went upstairs and returned to the room, he heard some noise in his parents' room, he didn't care, he just fell asleep with a pillow, snoring like thunder.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jianxing called Guodong and Guoliang to the room and asked them to sit down. "Guodong is twenty-seven or eight, and he has his wife and children, and he is still so uncompetitive and has caused such a big disaster! Guoliang is too, what kind of interest is he obsessed with other people's wives? Alas, now I can't control it myself, and I don't have the strength to care about you. I discussed it with your mom all night last night, and decided to get over the current difficulties first. ”

Kuniliang saw that his father's hair suddenly increased a lot, his face was pale and haggard, and he was weak to speak. Overnight, it looks like ten years older! Listening to his voice, there seemed to be something hidden in him that he didn't want to say. An ominous thought flashed through his heart: A few days ago, I heard my mother say that I would accompany my father to the hospital to see a doctor, but his cough is always not getting better, isn't it?

In the midst of suspicion, Fang Shuqin bent down and took out a wooden box from under the bed, put it on the table, and opened it to see that it was a porcelain vase decorated with dragon patterns! Guodong and Guoliang glanced at each other, their faces happy.

Zhou Jianxing coughed: "This dragon pattern porcelain vase was handed down by my ancestors, and I will never make a move unless I have to." Now that Guodong is in trouble, your mother and I can't see death and not save it, so let's sell it, it is estimated that it can be sold for one or two thousand. ”

Gordon was overjoyed. "Can you really sell it for 20,000 yuan?"

Guoliang smiled. "A bottle can be sold for 20,000 yuan, and my family has made a fortune."

Zhou Jianxing closed his eyes and looked very desolate; Fang Shuqin turned her head and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Guodong and Guoliang happily held the porcelain vase and looked at it over and over again, but they didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse, and the premeditated plan was useless, and the two brothers breathed a long sigh of relief.

Guo Dong suggested that experts who knew the goods should take a look at the valuation first, so as not to suffer a loss. Do you think Master Joe is willing to help? Guoliang said, Master Qiao is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he is very good, I don't think there will be a problem. Zhou Jianxing also nodded in agreement.
