Chapter 246: Debt Collection
Fan Jin slept past noon, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Sufang sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him. Seeing him wake up, Xue Sufang said: "The matter has been done, as for how to arrange it over there, it is not clear." In fact, if you want me to say that this matter is so big, I can't hide it from people at all, or the scholar's side, I don't want to hide it. They are still afraid that the other side will not know about it, and it will be really beneficial for them to make a big fuss about it. Dongchang has many ears and eyes, they are so noisy, how can Gonggong Feng not hear the news. ”
"They can hear it, and whether I report it or not is two different things." Fan Jin stretched his waist, Xue Sufang thought that according to Fan Jin's character, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to hug him, and his body quietly moved slightly towards Fan Jin, but he found that he was just stretching his waist, and then began to wear his coat. Slightly disappointed, he thoughtfully stepped forward to help him get dressed, and listened to Fan Jin say:
"My note is a vote, and it is equivalent to washing myself out, proving that this is not my intention. They're just making trouble in the name of justice for me, and I'm not going to get involved. I like to be famous, but it's okay to offend Feng Bao in order to be famous. Besides, it is difficult to say to what extent the news of the East Factory will be heard, and to what extent it will be valued, so I am also a channel here, so give them feedback. In fact, how to solve this matter is also a problem, knowing that having precautions does not mean that it can be handled well. A group of scholars is like a barrel of gunpowder, and now that the medicine letter has been lit, if it is not handled properly, it will still be blown up. ”
Xue Wu said with a smile: "But you can't teach people how to deal with it, after all, it's Jiangling Xiangguo, if you instruct Jiangling Xiangguo how to do it, don't think about being someone's son-in-law." ”
"Yes, Zhang Jiangling is a strong person, and he will not allow anyone to dictate his work, besides, he is Zaifu after all, he has experienced three dynasties, he is well-informed, and he has a lot of skills to solve this kind of thing than me. I don't have the power to come up with ideas. ”
"That can't be said, in my eyes, it's still the most capable of retreating. I can't see how he Zhang Jiangling is doing. I only see that the retreat is a kind of cowpox and a dart game, and we really enjoy these benefits, so we naturally think you are amazing. ”
Fan Jin smiled: "I will be proud if you praise me like this...... Wu'er, I can wear shoes myself, you don't have to, I'm not an old man. ”
Xue Sufang had already knelt down and helped Fan Jin put on his boots. Hearing him say this, he smiled and said: "When Huisi becomes an old man, I will also become an old woman, even if I want to help Huisi put on boots, there is no place for me." Some young and beautiful maids are rushing to put on boots for the old lady, and they will do more while they are doing now. I bought a duck and came back and cooked a rice and duck porridge, you go eat some first. ”
At the moment of eating, Xue Sufang was waiting by the side, and he didn't eat until Fan Jin ate a bowl, and immediately handed over a bowl. Objectively speaking, this kind of thoughtfulness can certainly be felt in Zhang Shunqing, but Zhang Shunqing will definitely not have this kind of attitude of being low and small. She and Fan Jin are like husband and wife and friends, and they are the daughters of everyone's huge family, and when they get along with each other on weekdays, Fan Jin still serves her a lot.
Xue Sufang was originally also a cold goddess Fan, but now she puts down her shelf and serves as a little woman, which makes Fan Jin a little uncomfortable. Xue Sufang smiled:
"To be an outer room, you have to have the appearance of an outer room, and if you take a shelf like the housewife, then how can you be a vixen. I used to put on that face, firstly, to make retreat notice me, and secondly, I was also in that kind of environment, giving people a little good face, it was easy for men to think that I had some ideas, and I had to inch in, and it would be difficult for me to get out. Now that I've decided to be your outer chamber, my mind is different, and my attitude is naturally different. In fact, it is also easy to talk about retreat, after the sisters I know marry men, they are actually not much better than being maids, and they will be beaten if they don't say a word. ”
The two talked a few words, and Xue Sufang said: "This Zheng family is really interesting, as soon as we moved in, some people were worried about it." ”
"Who's worried about whom?"
"Zheng Guotai, the son of the Zheng family, is worried about Sister Gui." Xue Sufang whispered: "When you were asleep just now, Sister Gui came to me and said that Zheng Guotai came back and said that he wanted to give her something, but she refused to ask for it, and when he was pushing, he took the opportunity to touch her hand." You also know that Sister Gui is a little afraid of men since she hit that incident. This happened again, and I felt a little uncomfortable. ”
Fan Jin's two followers have returned in discipline, although Fan Zhigao is a little slippery, he also knows what Fan Jin is taboo and will not do anything to women. If it weren't for that, Sister Gui would have left Fan Jin's gang a long time ago. She can be favored by Yang Shida, her appearance is very passable, the southeast woman is as warm as water, and she is very different from the rouge in the north.
Zheng Guotai was originally a small boss and had high requirements for women, but now his family is ruined, and his relatives are unable to marry, and he has always been a single. I go out to do odd jobs every day, and I don't get much money, and I can't afford to go to Qinglou under what kind of situation the family is, at most I occasionally go to an inferior cellar. The women there are no match for Sister Gui no matter what, and it is not unusual to be able to look at them, but it is a bit too much to do just by moving their hands and feet.
Fan Jin frowned, "What did Sister Gui say?" ”
"What can she say, is to beg me to say something to Hui Si and let you say hello to the Zheng family. She has a father-in-law, although her father-in-law is very bad, but she doesn't want to remarry, she still has to wait for her father-in-law, so she won't consider other men. ”
"Then why didn't she come to me herself?"
"She's scared of you. It's not that she hasn't seen you and Miss Zhang together, and she's afraid that if you're thirsty, she won't be able to beat her. ”
Fan Jin shook his head, "I said she ran away as soon as she saw me, am I so scary?" Besides, if you remind her, I can't actually notice her at all, after all, with such a big beauty as you, where can I see her. But her running was easy to get my attention. In the affairs of the Zheng family, I will negotiate with Zheng Chengxian and let him take care of his son. ”
Xue Sufang smiled and gave Fan Jin porridge, talking to him about the shortcomings of these parents, and felt more and more that this model was very similar to that of a family, where the wife of the family served her husband to eat, and talked to him about trivial matters at home. This feeling is very good, or rather, the time without Zhang Shunqing is really wonderful.
It's a pity that her beauty didn't last long, and it was ruined by a loud noise, the noise first came out of the door, someone was slamming the door hard, the sound of closing the clear sounded, and then a thicker voice pressed over.
"Don't do your business, let the Zheng family come out. The money owed to us and refuses to pay it back, there must be an explanation today. If you can't come up with an explanation, this matter will not be over today."
Fan Jin frowned, but had no intention of moving. He lacks understanding of the Zheng family, and his impression is not bad, but it is just not bad. He is not an immortal, it is impossible to help anyone because he rented a person's house, and if he can give Zheng Chengxian a few loquat pills, it is already good, and he is naturally too lazy to take care of other things.
After a short time, the little girl of the Zheng family quarreled with outsiders, no matter how spicy she was, she couldn't quarrel with a few adults on the other side, and there were five or six voices from the people, with a high voice, and her mouth was not clean, and she did not shy away from meat. Fan Jin gently poked the chopsticks on the table, "Talking dirty words to children, these splashes should be beaten!" ”
The girl of the Zheng family was already crying and shouted, "You are all bad people, bullying people!" The house money was obviously taken away by Tang Niuzi, and he was poked, how could he still collect debts? ”
"Tang Niuzi? Tang Niuzi didn't know where he had gone, and the poke he hit couldn't count. We're going to see the money today, or you're going to have to vacate the house. ”
Fan Jin had seen this kind of loan in his previous life, and knew that the purpose of their loan was to covet the real estate of the party. Most of them have an underworld background, and they have a relationship in the yamen, otherwise it would not be possible to do it smoothly. I don't want to be in the Ming Dynasty, there are practitioners of this kind of industry. Originally, he couldn't ask about this matter, but as the second generation of demolition, he was originally disgusted with the behavior of someone who was worried about other people's houses and didn't want to buy them at the market price, so he ate his full meal again, got up and walked out, and Xue Wu followed closely behind him.
Outside the courtyard, there were six or seven big men standing in the shape of a biao, with a rather vicious appearance, and at a glance, they were all city fox society rats who relied on force to eat. They were also obedient, ignoring Guan Qing, and only scolding the little girl of the Zheng family, Zheng Chengxian happened to come out of the backyard with a wooden stick at this time, and hit Fan Jin opposite.
After eating those few loquat pills, he didn't cough much, and his complexion was better, but his face was a little worse at this time. looked at Fan Jin and shook his head ashamedly, "Master Fan smiled, this is an old family matter, I didn't expect to alarm the master." ”
Then he said to the men, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to say to me, don't embarrass a child. ”
A few splashes looked at Zheng Chengxian, and one said: "Old man Zheng, it's easy for you to come out, if you don't give us an explanation for this matter today, we won't leave." We have written in black and white, and if you don't pay back the money when the day comes, even if you go to the yamen, we are not afraid. ”
The little girl of the Zheng family shouted: "It's you who are unreasonable, we have raised money, but no one can find it." When the days are over, the interest will be added, and it is clear that it is coming to our house. Now that I've rented out the house and come to cheat again, I tell you, this is our house, and we won't move! ”
"Little girl, you're obviously going to cheat, aren't you? There are very few people who dare to play tricks in front of us in this area, why, do you want to start this? Is that what you mean or is that what your dad meant? ”
The girl screamed hoarsely, trying to prove her strength with her teeth and claws, but the weakness behind the clamor was something that everyone could see. Tears have flowed like rivers on their faces, and wherever they go, the soot has been washed away and formed into small ditches. The cold wind blows on the face, blowing the little face painfully, and what hurts more than the face is the heart.
Her brother was a lazy and somewhat cowardly man, a standard loser. When the family was still well-off, it was a piece of heart disease in my father's heart. After the family fell into decline and his father fell ill, although Zheng Guotai behaved decently and tried to find a job to earn money to support himself, in fact, he was already crushed.
He does support himself, but he also supports himself, no matter how difficult his family situation is, every time he pays off his debts, how he can't breathe because of the pressure of interest, he rarely pays the money to the family, but occasionally comes back with the smell of alcohol. The whole family can't count on him, and the father can't work, in fact, the pressure of the family's life is all piled on this twelve-year-old girl.
She has to be strong, even savage, otherwise this family really can't hold on. She knew that her brother could not be counted on, and that her father was sick, so she could neither fall nor be afraid. Even if she is clearly afraid of death, she must act strong and not back down.
These splashes are getting more and more fierce, and the room left for her to turn around is getting smaller and smaller, but even so, she doesn't want to retreat and can't retreat. The house is already the bottom line, if they lose the house, their family is only afraid that they will freeze and starve to death, and the father's life's hard work is where it is, if it is lost, the disease and sadness, whether they can survive the past, it is difficult to say.
These pranksters are very resolute today, shouting and scolding, while holding sticks to the courtyard, Zheng Chengxian protected his daughter and said, "What are you going to do?" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in front of the master, do you still dare to be rude? ”
"Lifting people, master......" A few men looked at Fan Jin, "You have to be reasonable when you lift people!" We're here with our official father today, Li Tou, please come over for a while. ”
A middle-aged man in his forties walked over lazily, rubbing his godless eyes, as if he hadn't woken up from a nap. Look at the situation here, and say very perfunctorily:
"It is natural to repay debts, and if you don't pay back, you have to pay back the house. Liu Qi, I also have to warn you and your boys, it's okay to collect the house, don't go too far, now is the time of the big competition, and the master is also here, if you hurt people indiscriminately, don't blame me for being unkind to you. As he spoke, he smiled at the man at the head, showing that the two had a very close friendship.
The man smiled at Chao Kuai, "Look at what you said, we are all peaceful and kind people, how dare we hurt people?" It's to deal with those who don't pay back, you have to give him some color to see, come on, clear all the things in his yard for me first! ”
Two men carried sticks to the lotus pot in the courtyard, and in the scream of the little girl, a man picked up the big stick in his hand, and the copper-wrapped stick head brought the wind and fell heavily on the water tank, and in a crisp sound, the water tank shattered. The clear water contained in it was bubbling out, and although Sister Gui, who had experienced debt collection and being tied up and humiliated, knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, she was still trembling with fright, and tightly grabbed Xue Wu's arm.
Zheng Chengxian hurriedly said: "You ...... Do you still have a royal law? ”
"What you said, if you don't pay off the debt, there is no royal law, we want to be in debt, which royal law is violated? I'm telling you that if you don't leave by yourself, you won't be as comfortable as you are now when we invite you to leave. These brothers of mine are not the little ladies of the Jiaofang Division, they are not so gentle, their hands are not light or heavy, your old bones will be injured by then, don't blame me! ”
The little girl pulled her father tightly, not letting him do stupid things, staring at these splashes with big eyes, her eyes full of hatred. The splash inadvertently glanced at the little girl, but found the soot washed away by tears, and said with a sigh: "I didn't pay attention to it before, this dirty little girl who doesn't slip the ball, it's quite white?" Come on, let Uncle wash your face. Look at how dirty you are, you can't do it without washing. ”
While speaking, the man had already reached out to grab the little girl, Zheng Chengxian hurriedly stopped in front of his daughter, but was casually pushed by the big man. In front of the girl, the big fan-like hand gradually enlarged, like a dark cloud about to swallow herself. She wanted to escape, but she didn't know where she wanted to flee. I want to call someone, but I don't know who to call. The officials all stand with those bad guys, who can they rely on?
At this moment, Fan Jin's voice suddenly sounded, "I said, who let this cylinder be smashed?" Dare to smash my tank, it's not a small daring! ”
