The person who came was none other than Brother Gang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Ma, don't come to harm?" Brother Gang's tone was a little yin and yang: "You made my brother look so hard!" ”

"Brother Gang...... That's not ...... I...... I ...... "The fear of inevitability made Ma Shengli speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer."

"What am I, I!" Brother Gang glared at him, looked at Ma Shengli and said sharply: "As the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't escape from the fifteenth; If you can run a monk, you can't move away from the temple. Do you think you'll be able to settle the account by going out and hiding? Or you'll die out and never come back! ”

Brother Gang's voice is very loud, obviously giving Ma Shengli a victory. Ma Shengli could only listen obediently, he lowered his head and did not dare to squeak.

"Kill to pay for your life, and pay off your debts." Seeing that Ma Shengli didn't speak, Brother Gang aggravated his tone and forced him to ask, "Say, when will the money be returned?" ”

"Brother Gang, I'm ...... for the time being. ...... for the time being" Ma Shengli cowered, wishing that there would be a sewing in the ground to get into.

"Who are you? Why are you talking to my son in such a tone? Ma Shengli and his mother saw that everyone was fierce and vicious, and her son saw them like a mouse seeing a cat, she didn't know what to do, and asked Brother Gang loudly.

"Who are we?" Brother Gang laughed dryly, pointed at Ma Shengli with his finger, and said in a reproachful tone: "What? Didn't Ma Shengli tell you? Brother Ma, this is your mistake, how can you not discuss such a big matter with your family? ”

"Who the hell are you? What exactly do you want to do? Ma Shengli is a quick temper, and she really can't stand watching someone in her house.

"Who are we? What do we want to do? Brother Gang didn't pay attention to her questioning, he stretched out his hands, combed his hair, and then leaned back on the sofa, and said in an unhurried tone: "Let Ma Shengli tell you!" ”

Ma Shengli turned her head to look at Ma Shengli, and saw that Ma Shengli's face was pale, with an overly frightened look, and her feelings of protecting the calf suddenly rose. She said to Ma Shengli: "Good son, don't be afraid, your mother is here!" Tell your mom what's going on? ”

"Mom, this is ...... I am...... They ......" Ma Shengli spoke incoherently, and as soon as his legs went limp, his body slid under the belly of the table, and he involuntarily sifted up the chaff.

"Victory, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Ma Shengli and his mother hurriedly stepped forward to support her son.

"Can't remember, can you?" Brother Gang raised his right hand, snapped his fingers at a few people behind him, and said, "You two of you, help Brother Ma have a long memory!" ”

When the two big men heard the order, they bypassed the sofa and left Brother Gang, one of them picked up the horse like a chicken, and threw it on the chair next to him; The other reached out and pulled out the horse, lifted his leg and kicked him to the ground. The two pairs of leather shoes began to take turns looking for a foothold on Ma Shengli's body, in the end, they were strong and did not lose, and the leather shoes kicked on Ma Shengli's body "poof".

Ma Shengli's mother and daughter-in-law saw that their son and man were beaten at home, how could they not be in a hurry? Zong was about to fight with this group of people, and the two people standing behind Brother Gang were not idle meals, they didn't wait for orders, they quickly walked over, one was responsible for the other, and quickly controlled the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Ma Shengli curled up on the ground with his head covered by his hands, was kicked and rolled over, probably because the two big men had too heavy feet, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't stand it, so he couldn't stop begging for mercy: "Brother Gang's life!" Brother Gang's life! Brother Gang ignored his pleas, and didn't even look at him squarely.

Brother Gang leaned on the sofa, leisurely took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out one and poked it in his mouth, and with the crisp metal sound of the "Langsheng" lighter, the blue flame quickly ignited the cigarette. He looked up at the ceiling and took a few puffs of smoke rings. Probably still bored, he straightened up again, pulled a box out of his lower pocket, and placed it on the coffee table. He opened the box, and inside was a set of nail trimming utensils. He pulled out a nail clipper from inside and began to concentrate on fixing his nails.

The two big men knew at a glance that they were experts in beating people, and they cooperated quite tacitly with one hand and one kick, and the big feet they picked up touched Ma Shengli's body, making a sound of "poof-poof" and "poof-poof", and the sound was dull and rhythmic. After a while, Ma Shengli's hands were swollen, his face was blue, and his nostrils and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

Watching their son and man being beaten, the two women were only hysterical. I wanted to step forward to protect him, but I was pulled away by someone, and Ma Shengli's mother's heart was broken. Only then did I realize that although I was in my own home at the moment, I didn't have the final say on my words, and it was useless to have a tough tone, and people didn't take you seriously at all. So he changed his tone and begged Brother Gang: "You guys are putting people to death!" Why are you beating my son like this? Please, don't fight, please, let them stop! ”

Hearing Ma Shengli's mother's tone softened, Brother Gang still had a calm face, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him. He cut ten nails very seriously, and seemed to feel that the cut was not very good, so he checked them one by one, and found that some of the curvatures were not round, so he repaired them again, until he stretched out his hands and looked satisfied, and then put the nail clippers back in the box. Ma Shengli thought that Brother Gang should have spoken now, but he didn't. I saw that Brother Gang took out a small file from the box again, and began to file the tips of the nails he had just trimmed, he filed slowly, with a clear eye, ignoring the excitement of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the bitter pleading of Ma Shengli. When all the nails were filed, he puffed up his cheeks, blew the filed nails, blew away the nail foam on his fingers, and then clapped his hands and signaled the two thugs to stop.

"You're Ma Shengli mother?" Brother Gang looked at Ma Shengli's mother and asked.

"Yes! Be! I'm Ma Shengli mother! Seeing that the two big men rested, Ma Shengli and his mother nodded at Brother Gang, with both gratitude and flattering ingredients in their eyes.

"Do you know why we beat your son?" Brother Gang asked again.

"I don't know." Ma Shengli didn't know how to go, and hurriedly shook his head, with a confused face.

"That's because your son deserves to be beaten!" Brother Gang stared at Ma Shengli's mother's face, and said hatefully: "I owe money to others, and I still want to hide from the debt!" ”

"My son owes someone else?" Ma Shengli's mother was even more surprised, she asked Brother Gang: "May I ask who my son owes money?" ”

"Oops! It seems that you really have a problem with your son's education! Brother Gang's tone looked old-fashioned: "Your son doesn't study well!" Good bet! Don't you know this? ”

For her son's problem, of course Ma Shengli and his mother knew that she didn't need an outsider to inform her. But at present, it was Brother Gang who was asking her, so she had to nod honestly and say, "I know!" Know! ”。

"And voila! This is the gambling debt that Ma Shengli owed when he gambled at Crystal Palace last time, you can take a good look! As he spoke, Brother Gang took out the loan agreement he had signed with Ma Shengli from his pocket and threw it on the table. A big man walked over, picked up the agreement, and handed it into the hands of Ma Shengli and his mother.

Ma Shengli and his mother held the agreement, and his two hands were trembling, and he couldn't help himself. When she saw that the "29" was followed by a long list of "0", her eyes were a little dizzy, and she carefully glanced at the capitalization in the parentheses behind her, and there was no mistake! It's 290,000! Looking further down, the principal and interest due are paid in full at one time as "three thousand thousand yuan". At the bottom of the agreement is the signature of the borrower and the borrower, and on the horizontal line of the lender's column, the three big characters "Ma Shengli" are impressively signed, and there is a bright red fingerprint on the name.

"Impossible! No way! Ma Shengli glanced at Ma Shengli lying on the ground, turned to Brother Gang and shouted: "I think you must be mistaken, although my son is a good gambler, he never has the courage to borrow so much money!" You must be mistaken! ”

"We're mistaken, aren't we?" Brother Gang pretended to be surprised, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers at the two big men standing beside Ma Shengli: "You two ask Brother Ma well, see if you have made a mistake?" ”

The two thugs standing next to Ma Shengli understood, and kicked Ma Shengli's body again. This time the foot was heavier than the last time, and Ma Shengli soon had a psychological breakdown, he held his head, howled like a pig in his mouth, and asked his mother for help: "Mom, money...... I borrowed the money...... I borrowed it...... Beg them, beg them, beg them not to fight...... Stop it! ”

Ma Shengli and his mother were being controlled by the big man next to him, and when she heard her son say that he borrowed the money, she didn't pick it up in one breath, and fainted on the spot. Seeing this, the big man reached out and pinched her people, and after about a minute or so, she woke up again, and saw that the two strong men who were like wolves and tigers were still kicking her son fiercely, and Ma Shengli was curled up on the ground like a dog, kicked over, and then kicked over. So he crawled in front of Brother Gang, hugged Brother Gang's legs and cried, "Please!" Please, let them stop! If you fight again, you will die! Three tens of thousands, we are still there! We'll pay it back! ”

"You're mistaken!" Brother Gang looked down at Ma Shengli and his mother, stretched out his finger and gestured: "The principal and interest of ten days is three hundred and one thousand nine, and now it is the fifteenth day, it should be three hundred and thirty-three thousand five!" ”

"Three hundred thirty-three thousand five! Three hundred thirty-three thousand five! Ma Shengli and his mother agreed in a stack, and kept kowtowing to Brother Gang and begging: "Hurry up and let them stop, if they fight again, they will die!" ”

"You two just stop!" Brother Gang reluctantly stopped the two thugs, he leaned down and said to Ma Shengli's mother's face: "You are still more acquainted!" Now that you agree to repay the loan, let's take the money! ”

"I don't have any money in my family right now, so please give me some more time and let's think of a way. When we have money in the future, we will pay back your money as soon as possible. Ma Shengli looked at Brother Gang's face and replied cautiously.

"In the future?" Brother Gang immediately lowered his face when he heard this, and leaned on the back of the sofa: "When will it be in the future?" Half? A year? Eight years? Decade? I don't have that patience! ”

"A month! Just one month! We'll definitely pay it back when the time comes. Ma Shengli and his mother assured Brother Gang without thinking.

"Not for a month!" Brother Gang refused. He raised a finger and said, "Ten days!" I'll only give you ten days! In view of the terrible nature of your son's debt evasion, the interest on the extra ten days shall also be calculated, which is three hundred and sixty-two thousand five in all. If you can't pay the money when the deadline comes, you just wait to collect your son's body! ”

"Okay! Ten days! Ten days! After 10 days, we will definitely pay back. Ma Shengli and his mother thought about dealing with the disaster in front of them first, as long as they stopped beating Ma Shengli, and then found a way to repay the money.

"Good! Let's go! After Brother Gang said this, he stood up, stacked the agreement on the table, and waved his hand to a few people under him, and several people threw the door away like a gust of wind.

Seeing Ma Shengli lying on the ground motionless like a dead pig, Ma Shengli's mother and daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to take a look. The daughter-in-law supported him by the back, and his mother put her arms around his neck and helped him to sit up. "Victory! Victory! good son! How are you? You can't have three long and two short! Ma Shengli's mother called out loudly to her son, and her daughter-in-law was crying on the side.

Ma Shengli slowly opened his swollen eyes that had been kicked, he glanced at his daughter-in-law, then at his mother, and struggled to squeeze out a bloodstained smile. It's okay not to laugh, but the appearance of a smile is more scary than not laughing.

"Mom, I'...... I...... It's okay. Ma Shengli replied weakly.

"Son, what's going on with that agreement? When did you owe so much money to someone? Ma Shengli and his mother saw her son open his mouth, and half of the hanging heart was put into his stomach. remembered the debt just now, and couldn't help but ask again.

Ma Shengli lowered his head, with a look of remorse that he knew why he was like this. He replied softly, "Mom, I'm ...... I was wrong! Utterly wrong! ”

"I ask you why you borrowed so much money? Why did you borrow so much money? Seeing that Ma Shengli didn't answer the question, Ma Shengli was in a hurry, and she shouted loudly.

"I ...... I...... Ma Shengli saw his mother's round eyes, and he couldn't answer for a while, and there was crying in his voice.

"You you have been cut by a thousand cuts! You said! Are you gambling again? What about the 8,000 yuan last time my granddaughter entertained customers? Have you lost it all? Ma Shengli and his mother saw that her son was struggling, and estimated that her conjecture would not be wrong nine times out of ten, so she couldn't help but curse a spell angrily. But she still didn't want to believe that the bad news in front of her could be true, so she shook Ma Shengli's bloody head vigorously, and threw out the doubts in her heart like a cannon, hoping to get confirmation from his mouth.

"That's right! I'm going to gamble! Ma Shengli's head may have been shaken, he straightened his neck, broke free of his mother's hands, simply gritted his teeth, and spit out all the secrets held in his chest: "I'm going to gamble...... I want to win...... Mom, I don't want to be a useless person in your minds forever! I want our family to have a good life, and everything I do is for this family! Who knows...... Who knows......" As he spoke, Ma Shengli couldn't cry, and gradually lost his confidence, and he couldn't talk anymore.

"Good day?" After listening to her son's answer, Ma Shengli and his mother wanted to cry without tears. She stared at her son with a wry smile: "Is this the good life you gambled on for this family?" Three hundred and sixty thousand! Where did you ask your mom to get this money to help you pay off your bills? ”

As soon as she thought of the astronomical figure of 360,000, Ma Shengli and his mother felt that her chest was very blocked, as if the sky was about to fall. In addition to despair, it is still despair. So, she threw down the bloody horse and shouted, "Oh my God! What can I do? He turned around and fell on the coffee table, sobbing "duh".

When Ma Shengli saw his mother like this, he was extremely scared. Even my mother has no choice, can I still save my little life? The instinct for survival made him quickly break free from his daughter-in-law's arms, and he knelt straight and kneeled to his mother's side, he shook his mother's arm vigorously, and begged: "Mom, I am your only son, you can't see death without help!" If you think of a way, you will definitely be able to think of a way! ”

Ma Shengli raised her face, looked at Ma Shengli with teary eyes, shook her head lightly and said, "Shengli, Mom has no choice, there is really no way." Don't say 360,000, it's 3,000, and my mother can't take it out! If you can replace it, Mom would rather die for you! ”

Hearing his mother say that he would rather die for himself, Ma Shengli's heart suddenly turned cold, and it seemed that his mother was really exhausted. What to do? Do you wait at home for ten days to die? He was unwilling, shook his mother's arm again, and begged: "Mom, think about it again, you will definitely have a way!" As long as I can save my son's life this time, I promise you that I will never gamble again next time! ”

"Next time?" After listening to Ma Shengli's words, Ma Shengli was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere. She struggled to pull out the arm that was grabbed by Ma Shengli, wiped the tears on her face, pointed to Ma Shengli's head and said, "Son, tell me about it!" How many times have you promised your mom about the next time? Every time you say that you won't gamble next time, you won't gamble next time, but don't you look like a mouse every time, and you forget what you said at first when you put down your front paws! Next! But if you can have a good time next time, can something like this happen today? ”

In the face of his mother's questioning, Ma Shengli was speechless. Because of such a guarantee, even he himself really can't remember how many times he has said it. But now that the moment of life is at stake, my mother has been hoping to solve the problem by herself since she was a child, thinking that she has caused trouble, and it is also appropriate to listen to some angry words. Maybe today, if I make a harder guarantee, and my mother's heart softens, I may be able to find a solution to the problem. Thinking of this, he couldn't care about the shame on his face, raised his right hand, and swore to his mother as if he was swearing: "Mom, I promise you!" I solemnly assure you! This is the last time! Absolutely for the last time! As long as you save me this time, I promise never to gamble again! ”

Ma Shengli and his mother looked at their son, heartache and anger. The heartache is that the son in front of him is scarred and pitiful; The angry thing is that the son has deceived himself with lies again and again, to the point of incorrigibility. Ma Shengli saw that his mother didn't speak, his eyes were full of disappointment, knowing that his mother no longer trusted him, and in a hurry, he stood up "slumberingly" and muttered: "Mom, you don't believe me, do you?" Good! If you don't believe your son, I'll prove it to you! With that, he turned and rushed to the kitchen, and after a while, he walked out with a kitchen knife in his hand.

"You damn thing! What are you doing with a kitchen knife again? Every time I talk about you, I either take a kitchen knife or swear a poisonous oath, and you say that you can grow a little? Ma Shengli's mother's tears fell again, she was used to her son's behavior, she shook her head, sighed, and closed her eyes in despair.

"Mom, you still don't believe me, do you? What my son said this time is true, I will never gamble again after the victory! You have to trust me! Seeing that his mother was still silent with her eyes closed, Ma Shengli was also desperate, and he smiled bitterly and said to his mother: "Okay! You still don't believe it! I'll prove it to you! I'm going to prove it to you! As he spoke, he put his left hand flat on the table and said, "If I gamble again after my horse's victory, I have such a hand!" After saying this, he picked up the kitchen knife held in his right hand, closed his eyes ruthlessly, and chopped it down with a "snap", and the four fingers were left on the table with a brush, so painful that Ma Shengli screamed, grinned his teeth, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Hearing the sound on the table and Ma Shengli's shout, Ma Shengli opened her eyes, and she was stunned by the scene in front of her. She didn't expect Ma Shengli to come this time, only to see him holding his left hand with his right hand, blood continued to leak down his fingers to the floor, leaving four bloody fingers on the table, she was furious when she saw it, and fainted again.

Ma Shengli's daughter-in-law didn't know what to do at the moment, on the one hand, the unconscious mother-in-law, on the other hand, the bleeding Ma Shengli, for the man in front of her, hatred seemed to have solved any problems, so she shook her mother-in-law's arm vigorously, and shouted in her mouth: "Mom, wake up!" Mom, wake up! Ma Shengli let out a long breath, woke up, she calmed down, glanced at her daughter-in-law, and then at Ma Shengli, and when she realized what was happening in front of her, she hurriedly stood up and pounced on Ma Shengli, hugged him in her arms and cried again: "My good son! My heart, liver, liver, and flesh! Mom believes you, why do you really want to chop off your own fingers? You're really going to kill your mother! ”

"Mom, you must find a way to save me!" Ma Shengli said in a miserable voice.

"Mom will save you! Good son! How can Mom not save you! Ma Shengli looked at Ma Shengli and nodded vigorously. But when she thought of the astronomical gambling debt, her eyes dimmed again, and she murmured, "But what did you ask your mother to save you?" Even if you split your mother into eight petals and sell them, you won't be able to sell them for so much money! ”

"Mom, you've got to find a way! I know you're going to have a way! As Ma Shengli spoke, he knelt down for his mother again, and threw out the idea that had already been made up in his heart: "Mom, do you think this will work?" We sold the house, so we could raise money? ”

"Sell the house?" Listening to Ma Shengli's words, his mother hesitated for a moment, and finally patted Ma Shengli's chest, and couldn't help but turn sadness into joy: "That's right! Yes! How could I not have thought of this idea? Good son, at the critical moment, you are more clever than your mother, and you can think of such a good idea! ”

"But Mom, if we sell the house, where will our family of four live in the future? What do you rely on to make ends meet? Ma Shengli's daughter-in-law asked.

Listening to his daughter-in-law's question, Ma Shengli's mother's shining eyes dimmed again. Yes, the family is counting on this rent to live, the house is sold, what to eat and drink?

Just when the family was looking at each other and thinking about it, Ma Sikui came in from outside. Ma Sikui didn't expect that as soon as he walked on the front foot, such a big thing happened to Ma Shengli's family, and as soon as he heard the news, he hurried over. Seeing that his nephew was beaten to the point that he was not human, and he chopped off his fingers again, he was angry and annoyed, and he couldn't say a word of reproach.

"Did you call the police?" Si Kui asked.

"It's not time yet." Ma Shengli replied.

"What's the name of the people who hit you?" After listening to Ma Shengli's mother talk about the general situation, Ma Sikui asked Ma Shengli.

"I don't know." Ma Shengli shook his head: "I only know that the person who is the leader is called Brother Gang." ”

"Do you know where these people live?" Ma Sikui asked again.

"I don't know, I was contacted by phone at the time." Ma Shengli shook his head again.

"Oops! That's going to be hard. Ma Sikui looked at Ma Shengli and his mother and said, "Sister-in-law, it seems that Shengli is messing with people on the underworld." I don't know where this surname lives, and it's hard to call the police! ”

Si Kui saw that Ma Shengli's face was frighteningly pale, his body was trembling vigorously, and the blood on his hands was still flowing out, so he quickly asked Ma Shengli's daughter-in-law to take Ma Shengli to the hospital to bandage the wound, saying that if the blood flowed too much, it would kill someone.

"Fourth uncle, what do you say should I do about this?" After Ma Shengli left, he looked at Sikui with blank eyes and asked.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, let's think of a way together." Sikui comforted.

"Can you not be in a hurry? But those people let it go, and they only gave them ten days. If you don't pay back the money for ten days, you will be victorious! Thinking that she might lose her son, Ma Shengli and his mother couldn't help but cry again.

"That's right." Ma Sikui frowned, and couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, and said to himself: "Those people are in the dark, and we are in the light." People in the underworld can't be messed with, there's nothing in this world that they can't do! ”

Listening to Ma Sikui's words, Ma Shengli cried even more fiercely. Ma Sikui thought that Ma Shengli was the only root and seedling left by the Ma family's house, and it was also the only hope for the widow's sister-in-law in this life, and he must not gamble with his fresh life, otherwise, he would not only be sorry for his dead brother, but his conscience would also be condemned. He felt that the plan proposed by Ma Shengli might be the only feasible way at present, so he said to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, for the sake of insurance, I think it is better to sell the house according to what Shengli said!" ”

"That's what I thought, too." Ma Shengli and his mother stopped her tears and said worriedly: "But this house is not a green vegetable and turnip, how can it be done all at once for ten days and eight days?" ”

"No, it's only cheap, it's important to save your life in front of you!" Sikui said: "By the way, a few years ago, it was said that this area would be demolished to build a large supermarket, and then the appraisal company came to our house to evaluate what was the price?" ”

"When it was assessed, it was 1,21 square meters, and our family was more than 470 square meters, less than 600,000 square meters. A few years have passed since he said this, and if it is really demolished, it is estimated that it will not be far from one million. Ma Shengli replied.

"Why did this stop again?"

"It's not because of lack of funds! I heard that after the appraisal price came out at that time, this large piece would cost hundreds of millions, and as soon as the merchants heard this huge number, they were scared away, and the demolition was yellow. Ma Shengli said hopelessly.

"I see!" Ma Sikui nodded, looking at his worried sister-in-law, he said his thoughts: "Sister-in-law, why don't you do it!" I'm going to go to the real estate company to register now, put our house up for sale, and see if we can find a buyer; In addition, I will ask the people around me to see if anyone wants to buy a house, what do you think? ”

"Good is good, I'm just worried that no one can afford this price!" Ma Shengli and his mother are still worried.

"We can't bite too the price." Ma Sikui said: "Now it's important to save people, as long as you can save the life of victory, I think you can still get the price and make a move!" ”

"Okay! This matter will trouble the fourth uncle. Ma Shengli thought about it and felt that what Si Kui said was very reasonable, what could be more important than her son's life at the moment!

sent Ma Sikui away, and not long after, Ma Shengli and his wife also returned. Ma Shengli's face and hands were wrapped in bandages, like a wounded soldier retreating from the battlefield, looking pitiful. Ma Shengli and his mother saw it, thinking that her son had not stopped since he came home, and he was injured again, so she was very worried, so she let him rest.

In the midst of fear, a week passed quickly. Ma Sikui and Ma Shengli ran to the real estate company every day, hoping to find out the news that the house was sold, but every time they were in vain. In the 90s of the last century, people were not as enthusiastic about real estate as they were at the beginning of the new century, so there were very few people looking at and buying houses. Not to mention 600,000, even if it is reduced to 400,000, no one will be willing to start. Just when Ma Shengli was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and thought that he had fallen into a desperate situation in his life, lying on the bed, he suddenly remembered a person, Wu Youwei, an old partner who had worked together in the engineering team in the past.

How could I have forgotten him? Ma Shengli thought so. (To be continued.) )
