Chapter 17: The Village Tyrant Toad
"But yesterday, when the toad came to ask for a debt, he suddenly increased the interest by 15%, saying that he wanted us to pay back 20,004, and your father reasoned with him, and there was a quarrel, and the toad beat your father."
Cheng Hao was furious and said coldly: "Dad, Mom, leave this matter to me to deal with, I must ask for an explanation." ”
Father Cheng Fangshi dissuaded: "Hao'er, don't be impulsive, that toad is not a good person, you will suffer if you go alone." ”
"Dad, I've already asked the dog and the iron pillar to call someone, don't worry."
After speaking, Cheng Hao turned his head and walked out of the clinic.
"Hao'er, Hao'er!" Cheng Fangshi shouted several times and didn't call him back.
At the head of the village, Goudan called out twelve or thirteen people, all of whom were strong men, all of them with tigers on their backs, holding wooden sticks and flat poles in their hands.
Among them, there is a strong man wearing a white undershirt, in his thirties, five big and three thick, with a beard, unkempt hair, and a black birthmark on his arm, he is a famous bachelor in the village, Iron Pillar!
Tie Zhu and Cheng Hao, as well as Goudan, have a good relationship, and the three often played together when they were children.
And Tie Zhu had fought with the toad before, and the two were incompatible, this time as soon as the dog called him, he immediately rushed out with a sickle, and he had the momentum of cutting people.
Cheng Hao was a little worried that Tiezhu was impulsive and really cut people, and then the trouble would be big.
He told in advance: "Tiezhu, I'm going to the toad to ask for an explanation, not to cut people, don't mess around later." ”
Tie Zhu smiled honestly: "I know in my heart, I just use a sickle to scare him, I won't cut it, but when I see the toad later, I want to beat him hard, don't stop me." ”
"Don't worry, I won't stop you, the harder you fight, the better."
More than a dozen people, lined up in a line, slaughtered violently towards the next village.
The two villages are not far apart, separated by a river, and across the bridge is the next village, where the toad's home is by the river, in an old and dilapidated yard.
Cheng Hao led people to the gate of the courtyard, and the iron pillar kicked down the wooden door of dozens of kilograms.
In the middle of the courtyard, seven or eight people gathered around the table, playing cards.
The sudden formation startled the toad.
"Made, who's looking for death?"
The toad threw away the cards in his hand and stood up.
The toad is not tall, only one meter six, but it has a long ruffian, a smell of ruffians and hooligans, and a scar on his face.
The toad looked at the group, then saw Cheng Hao standing in front of the team, and sneered at him: "Tut, isn't this an unemployed college student in the next village?" ”
Cheng Hao took a step forward and shouted: "You don't talk nonsense, toad, let me ask you, did you beat my father?" ”
The toad smiled: "What if you hit it?" He owes money and doesn't pay it back, and he deserves to be beaten! ”
"How much does my dad owe you?"
"20,004!"
"You fart! Obviously there are only 20,000, plus 5% interest, a total of 20,000! Cheng Hao scolded.
The toad put on a rogue expression: "I said 20,004 is 20,004, if your father doesn't pay back, I will beat your father again tomorrow!" ”
It's too much of a deception!
Cheng Hao couldn't bear it, it seemed that it was useless to discuss in a good voice, and to deal with people like toads, he had to speak with his fists.
"Dog, iron pillar, hit me!"
Cheng Hao gave an order, and the dog and the iron pillar immediately rushed up, kicked the toad one by one, and rolled him on the ground.
Subsequently, the seven or eight people on the opposite side were not to be outdone, and they scuffled with more than a dozen people on Cheng Hao's side.
Cheng Hao rode onto the toad, beckoned him in the face with his fist, punched him three or four times, and broke two of his front teeth.
However, Cheng Hao was attacked by a sneak attack, and he was kicked in the back, and the whole person flew out three or four meters.
The iron pillar became more and more courageous, rushed into the crowd, and with the fists of five or six people, pressed the toad to the ground and beat him violently, he himself received more than a dozen punches, but like no one else, his face did not change color.
The two groups of people were fighting fiercely, and someone shouted: "The village chief is here!" ”
I don't know who sued him, but it may be that Cheng Hao was seen when they entered the village, and the village chief brought twenty or thirty men from the village to persuade him.
"Stop it!"
Cheng Hao and the two groups all stopped and quickly got up from the ground.
"What's going on?"
The village chief, on crutches, asked them.
Cheng Hao told the village chief about the matter, saying that the toad borrowed money to charge high interest, and he wanted to pay off the debt and beat people, so he couldn't bear it anymore and came to ask for an explanation.
"Isn't it more than 20,000 yuan, as for such a big battle!" The village chief scolded Cheng Hao and the toad.
The toad sneered: "Village chief, Cheng Fangshi's family is very poor, where did they get 20,000 yuan, Cheng Hao went to college, but he didn't have a job, and he was poor." ”
Cheng Hao said coldly: "How do you know that I have no money?" ”
"Haha, joke, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? If you can come up with 20,000 yuan, I'll perform a handstand and on the spot! ”
"Okay, then you can put on a show for me!"
Cheng Hao said, and took out four or five stacks of red hundred-yuan bills from his jacket pocket, almost 4 or 50,000 in cash!
When the toad saw so much money, he was dumbfounded.
Cheng Hao is a poor bastard, where did he get so much money?
"Who said you were going to perform a handstand just now?" Cheng Hao said coldly.
The toad's face was full of embarrassment, and the arrogant momentum just now instantly withered.
The village chief played a round and said: "Okay, since Cheng Hao has money, then why don't you return the money to the toad, such a big thing has made such a big move, and you have brought the sickle?" ”
"Village chief, no...... I didn't ......" Tiezhu looked innocent and quickly threw the scythe again.
Cheng Hao said: "It's okay to repay the money, but let's say it first, the principal plus interest is a total of 20,000, and the village chief testifies, so as not to turn around and play a scoundrel and deny it." ”
"Okay, I'll testify." The village chief nodded.
Now that the problem was solved, Cheng Hao had nothing to say, counted 21,000 yuan in cash on the spot, and returned it to the toad.
The village chief waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's disperse!" ”
Cheng Hao left the toad's house with the dog and the iron pillar.
On the way back to the village, Goudan and Tiezhu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Hao, why do you have so much money?" Have you recently made a fortune? ”
"Haha, I did make some money in the city recently, I plan to take this money and go to the city to do some business, and when my business is done, I will bring you into the city and make money together."
Dog Dan and Tie Zhu's faces were full of excitement, and Tie Zhu laughed loudly: "Okay, when I make money, I want to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law!" ”
"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed.
……
When Cheng Hao returned home, his parents also came back from the clinic.
Father Cheng Fangshi heard about his son's fight and scolded him for splitting his head and covering his face, while his mother Liu Fang asked him worriedly if he was injured.
