Chapter 474: Wading into Troubled Waters
So, that day, my adoptive mother was completely devastated! But at the same time, the messenger told my adoptive mother that after his adoptive father had sent the little brother over, he himself had gone into hiding!
What's more, we later learned that the chief creditor of the people who lent usury to him after his adoptive father had lost all the money he had taken from his home was said to be a man called 'Debt Keeper'!"
Li Wenyun said this, took a little breath, calmed down his mood, and then paused for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh?
So, did the men who had the striking word on the left side of the front of the garment deceive your adoptive father?
When Ah Meng heard this, he was naturally shocked.
"I've always thought so!
But, but I'm just talking about it. Because, because the adoptive father borrowed the usury, he also lost all the loan shark property and then disappeared, and there was no trace.
Besides, even if that were the case, there was nothing to be done, because then the men who were dressed in wide gray and black clothes with the word "debt" tattooed on the left side of the front of the clothes, and the gamblers whom I had seen who had been fooling around with my adoptive father all day long, came to our house in person and discussed with my adoptive mother about the repayment of the loan shark.
In the beginning, my adoptive mother always pushed and pushed, because the family really had no money, because the adoptive father took all the family savings a few days ago and lost all the money! Later, during a knee-to-knee conversation with my adoptive mother, they calculated a detailed account, plus the usury principal and interest borrowed by my adoptive father, even if the family sold the two inns plus all the houses and fields as collateral, the huge debt would still not be fully repaid!
When Li Wenyun said this, she was still depressed and couldn't help but raise her thin face, her slender messy hair on the top of her high convex forehead, she raised her hand to brush the face of her long hair, and stared at the corner of the roof, feeling sad.
"So, so my sister's adoptive father hasn't been back to his hometown during this period?"
At this time, hearing this, the orange-red egg-like head in the center of the room with the smallest and most well-proportioned body was annoyed, and sat down on the ground, and at the same time loosened the angel wings of the snow-white beautiful feathers behind it and propped it half-open and half-closed on the ground, supporting its thin body to lie on its side, and it was extremely dissatisfied.
"Ah, yes, yes. However, it was later when the situation at home became more and more critical!"
Li Wenyun took over and continued,
"Later, those former gambling friends of my adoptive father, who had a striking debt tattooed on the left chest of the front of the clothes, saw that my adoptive mother always refused to express their position, and they gradually lost their smiling faces every time they went back to our house to borrow usury, and later they even brought knives every time they entered our house to force debts!
Ever since the debtors entered our house and began to carry knives, my adoptive mother became frightened, and realized the urgency of the situation, so she secretly sent someone to find my adoptive father's younger brother who had sent the message to my family, and told my adoptive father about the dire situation in the family. After that, my adoptive father also took the risk of secretly returning home many times to discuss with my adoptive mother about repaying the usury, but each time he could not agree, because no matter how much the family's property was put together, it could not repay the principal and interest of the usury that day by day!
So many times, my adoptive father sneaked away from home in the middle of the night. ”
"So, since my sister's adoptive father had been fooling around in his own casino outside a few years ago, without asking about my sister's home, and without any regard for the feelings of the mother and daughter in the family, why did my sister's adoptive mother have to take care of that adoptive father at that time? Why not just draw a line with him? Because at that time, even if the family property was divided into two, it was enough to be worthy of him. Sister's adoptive mother, why do you follow that adoptive father and him into troubled waters?"
At this moment, the big fool with the largest snow-white angel wings couldn't help but interject and express his anger.
"It's just that although my adoptive mother has tasted all the hardships in the years when my adoptive father played money and did not do his job, she has always missed her old feelings! Perhaps, it is precisely because of her adoptive mother that she has always had a deep affection for her adoptive father. Anyway, when things got worse and worse, I remember one time there was a tall and thin man with a wide black coat and a sallow and vicious face who could not see his back, and the strange man called the Debt Keeper himself came to our house and took up the big white and cold knife beside him and put it on my adoptive mother's neck! That time really frightened me! I tried all kinds of ways to ask for help from all those who could be helped, but to no avail! But then, instead of killing my adoptive mother, the black-clad debtor gave us one last chance to scrape together money. ”
Li Wenyun continued.
"That black-clothed debtor, sister, the black-clothed debtor you mentioned more than once, really can't see his back?"
Jiu Confused listened to the previous words, blinked his small black eyes twice, and asked very curiously.
At that time, my sister used all kinds of methods to boldly look and observe from all angles, but she never could see the back of that person. In other words, no matter what angle my sister looks at, the person in the black wide clothes has always been visible in his sister's eyes, with a sallow and vicious face, and a very round and small bright bronze mirror hanging on his chest!"
Li Wenyun thought about it with Jiu's confused question, recalled the appearance of the debtor who made him remember the most, and replied to it.
"So, what my sister said just now made us think of another strange person, the strange man who called himself Immortal Guan who was covered in green wide clothes and couldn't see his face in the place of Xianniao Village for a long time!"
Suddenly, the big confused thought about it and interjected.
"Moreover, they have a very important similarity, that is, the two tall and thin weirdos have a striking word tattooed on the left chest in front of their clothes, but the content of the word is different and different!"
Nine Confused added again. (To be continued.) )
