Mr. Zhang's face, which was even uglier than his dead father, and the IOU in his hand suddenly threw me into the abyss. I looked at Xiao Xu and Xiao Li beside Mr. Zhang, whose faces were full of anger, and I couldn't help but tremble my legs and stomachs. I forced a smile and said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, of course this IOU was written by me." Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back this money, but I haven't prepared it yet, please look at Lao Wang's face and forgive me for a while, okay? ”

When Mr. Zhang heard what I said, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said with a gloomy face: "Brother Xiaomo, don't mention this old king, this old guy also owes me a lot of money, but he ran away without saying a word." Brother Xiaomo, do you think we don't need capital to do this business? To tell you the truth, this money is not my own, it is still someone else's confidence in me, handed it into my hands and let me come out and let it go, I just earn some errand fees. ”

My scalp exploded all of a sudden, and I don't need to comprehend Mr. Zhang's words, because the contact with Ah Liu has made me understand these truths, this Mr. Zhang, like Ah Liu, is also a loan shark. So, I unknowingly borrowed their loan sharks? A cold sweat broke out in my heart.

Mr. Zhang said slowly with a calm face: "Xiaomo, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know, so many people put their money with me, and if I can't get it back, then I'll give them interest. I still have so many brothers under my command, if they are all like you, and don't give money when it expires, won't I jump off the building? ”

I muttered, "Mr. Zhang, how is this interest calculated?" Mr. Zhang said slowly: "This interest is according to the rules of the road, and the first month's interest will be deducted when you cooperate for the first time." Brother Xiaomo, the last time you asked me to get money, didn't you already pay a month's interest? ”

As soon as I heard it, it was like five thunderbolts, what, only 100,000 yuan, this interest will be 10,000 yuan a month? I blushed and said, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this interest too outrageous?" Besides, the last time you lent me money, you didn't say the interest, and the second didn't say that the interest was 10,000 a month? You just said at the time that you and your brother deducted 10,000 yuan for gas and accommodation in order to find me, why did it become like this now? ”

Mr. Zhang glanced at me coldly and stopped talking. Xiao Xu, who had been silent, suddenly said viciously: "Xiaomo, do you know what kind of money we have?" It's called water money, which is what you call usury. Ordinary people, where do you go to borrow? Will the bank take care of you? Our money, but the threshold is very low, it will be delivered directly to you, and the interest rate is naturally much higher than that of the bank. ”

He forced his eyes at me and said, "Xiaomo, there are two ways in front of you now, one is that you have paid the 100,000 yuan, and we don't owe each other; Second, you can pay another month's interest first, and I will discuss it with Mr. Zhang, and I can postpone you for another month. ”

Oh my God, this terrible scene actually happened to me. The three people in front of me are far more terrifying than those real ghosts in my eyes at this moment.

I said in an almost begging tone: "Mr. Zhang, I really don't have so much money now, can you take a break?" I'll find a way to raise money and pay it back to you! ”

Mr. Zhang said coldly: "Brother Xiaomo, it's not that I don't want to help you, I've already told you about the stakes." Don't take chances and think that our actions are illegal and not protected by law. Then you are wrong, I sue you, if I can't receive this money, I can take you to court immediately. Even if the court knows that we are releasing the money, it will not be able to collect evidence, and it can only sentence you to return our 100,000 yuan in accordance with the law. ”

He said gloomily: "Brother Xiaomo, you have to think clearly. You are still young, if you are summoned by the court and let many people know that you borrowed money and did not pay it back, you are an old man, and your life will be ruined. Also, I have to remind you that I can speak to you politely, but I can't guarantee what will happen to my brothers if they don't see the money. ”

I know that Mr. Zhang's words are not threatening me, because in the conversation with Ah Liu, I learned a lot of dark things that I didn't know before. There are often gamblers who owe water money and can't afford to pay it back, and the ending is very tragic, either I cut off my ears or pick my hamstrings, and finally I have to find a way to repay the money.

Mr. Zhang suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Xiaomo, we are very credible. You see, when I came to ask you for money, I didn't avoid your girlfriend! The reason why I am doing this is because you are my client, that is, my food and clothing, so we will try not to disturb your personal life and reputation. Brother Xiaomo, hurry up and give me a solution! ”

Now if I am asked to come up with 100,000 yuan, it will definitely not be possible. Who else can help me now? Lao Wang has already run away in debt, I don't have to count on it, Red Sleeves and Tianxian are even more useless, as for my parents, they don't have so much money, and I can't bear to torture them anymore, then the only person I can turn to for help now should be Ah Liu.

Although I also know that Ah Liu is the person who has been with them all the way, and he is not a good person, at this time, I have no other better way than to drink to quench my thirst.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, I still have more than 2,000 yuan here, why don't I give you this money first, and you can let me delay it for another month?" ”

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Brother Xiaomo, these two thousand yuan are not even enough for interest." In this way, I can be considerate of you and extend you for another month. But you have to remember that if you don't pay me back next month, then I won't come to see you again, and there will naturally be other little brothers watching you. ”

As soon as I heard that Mr. Zhang agreed to delay me for another month, how could I care too much about anything else at this time? I couldn't help but feel overjoyed and expressed my gratitude to Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiaomo, you don't have to thank me." Whether you can be a good brother in the future depends on your performance at this time next month. Brother Xiaomo, I promised you that you could delay it for another month, but you have to rewrite this IOU. ”

I bowed slightly, and blurted out: "Mr. Zhang, how do you want me to rewrite this IOU?" ”

Mr. Zhang handed me a cigarette and said slowly: "Brother Xiaomo, let's take a look at the account first." It stands to reason that you should repay me the principal of 100,000 yuan today, right? ”

I had to nod my head stiffly, and Mr. Zhang continued with a smile: "Look at it, that means I should get your 100,000 yuan now." But you didn't give it to me, and I have to delay it for another month, which is equivalent to me lending you another 100,000 yuan a month. According to the rules, you have to pay one month's interest first, but you don't pay it, then you should owe me a total of 110,000 yuan for the principal plus interest. If you agree, rewrite an IOU, and my brothers and I will leave now, and we'll meet again this time next month. ”

Although I know that Mr. Zhang's smiling tiger pit has no limit for me, but at this time, do I still have a choice? I was like a man who was about to suffocate, and my only thought at the moment was to hope that the three plague gods would leave soon.

I trembled and took the pen handed by Mr. Zhang, and wrote an IOU of 110,000 yuan on the notebook handed by Xiao Xu. When Xiao Xu asked me to press my handprint like Xiao Ci, Mr. Zhang suddenly smiled, he handed me the IOU I had originally written in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaomo, happy cooperation." You take this old IOU, I'd better destroy it, if you accidentally lose it, let someone else pick it up, and sue the court to ask you for 100,000 yuan, you have to give it! ”

I took the IOU handed to me by Mr. Zhang, and after a long time, I remembered to light the lighter and put the IOU on the flame. When the old IOU turned to ashes, Mr. Zhang pressed the electric bell and called the waiter.

The waiter smiled and bowed and said, "Boss, if you need anything, please command!" Mr. Zhang said with a big grin: "Sister, please go and buy a family bucket for my KFC, my little brother wants to pack it and take it home." ”

The waiter still kept a smile and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, according to the regulations, things outside can't be brought to our teahouse." ”

Mr. Zhang impatiently took out a hundred-yuan bill, stuffed it into the waiter's hand, and said in an ordered tone: "You go and buy a family bucket now, and the rest of the change is even your errand fee!" ”

The waiter was embarrassed and said, "Boss, I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Our manager here stipulates that waiters are not allowed to take tips from people without permission, and they are not allowed to take out on behalf of customers. ”

Xiao Li, who never spoke beside Mr. Zhang, suddenly rushed to the waiter, grabbed her collar and said, "Don't be embarrassed!" We Mr. Zhang asked you to do something to give you face. Call your manager, if he dares to say a word, then he won't want to open this teahouse again. ”

The waiter was so frightened that he couldn't help crying. Mr. Zhang snorted and said, "Xiao Li, how many times have you said it, don't be so impulsive!" Don't scare your little sister. ”

Hearing the crying, a man in his forties stood at the door of the box, looked at the crying waiter and asked, "Xiao Wang, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Li glared at the man viciously and said, "You are the manager here?" We Mr. Zhang wanted this girl to buy something, but she didn't know what to do. Manager, if you understand people, hurry up and help us Mr. Zhang get things done, otherwise starting tomorrow, your teahouse will let our little brother wrap it up every day. ”

The manager's face changed, knowing that these people in front of him were not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Boss, don't be angry." Xiao Wang is new and has never seen the world, so you don't want to see it like a child. What does the boss want to buy, just say, I'll buy it for you! ”

Seeing this scene in front of me, my heart was even more scared. I understand very well that this is Mr. Zhang and his subordinates, deliberately acting for me, the purpose is to deter me.
