Chapter 107: Burning Money and Lighting Cigarettes
Zhu Xiaohua punched Jia Liang: "You kid, you disappeared with your satchel at a critical time, what did you do." ”
Jia Liang looked apologetic: "When I came in on a motorcycle just now, my shoulder bag fell upside down." I stopped the car and went back to pick up my bag. ”
Just before entering the compound, the road was a little bumpy, and the satchel tied to the back seat was turned upside down. Fortunately, that section of the road is only 100 meters away from the compound, and there are few pedestrians along the way.
After he rode his motorcycle into the compound, he hurriedly went back to pick up his bag.
Fortunately, the satchel was inconspicuous, and passers-by didn't care.
When he arrived, a man was stopping, ready to open his bag and take a look. was stopped by Jia Liang and left in a hurry.
Jia Liang snatched back the bag and quickly rushed back to the compound.
Unexpectedly, after only going out for a while, the attitude of this group towards Zhu Xiaohua changed again. They surrounded him left and right to pay him back, and his face was disdainful, and his tone was full of mockery.
Zhu Xiaohua took the satchel, put it on the motorcycle, revealed the colorful banknotes inside, and said, "Now, it's your turn." Whoever fulfills his promise first will pay back to whoever he wants. Wan Xiaoli comes from you first! ”
Wan Xiaoli was stunned: "What's the matter with me?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "You said that if I can repay the money today, you will roll the mud with everyone." Then you can roll it again with the guys. ”
Wan Xiaoli looked resistant.
Others were also hesitant.
For a while, the entire compound was so quiet that the sound of embroidery needles could be heard.
Zhu Xiaohua took out a few broken banknotes and said, "The money is useless anyway, it's better to burn some cigarettes." ”
He struck matches and lit the mutilated banknotes, which glowed green in a short time.
Zhu Xiaohua put the cigarette butt close to the fire, and lit the flame.
He took a hard puff and said, "This cigarette smells so good!" ”
Wan Xiaoli, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li and others were all distressed.
Jia Liang also secretly cried out, thinking to himself, how much grievance did Brother Zhu have suffered before he would take the banknotes to vent his anger. These people are really grandsons.
Wan Xiaoli showed a flattering expression again, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, these people are looking for you for money, but I didn't ask you for money." If you don't want the money, just give it to me. ”
Zhu Xiaohua didn't raise his head: "Here you go, why?" ”
Wan Xiaoli didn't expect Zhu Xiaohua to talk to herself like this.
In the past, no matter how much he bullied Zhu Xiaohua, as long as he showed a slight soft expression and spoke to him coquettishly, he would quickly surrender at his feet.
I didn't expect that now I would be completely unmoved as if I had changed as a person.
Wan Xiaoli continued to exert strength, her whole chest almost rubbed in front of Zhu Xiaohua, and said in a whining voice: "You just promise me, okay?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua was full of excitement, and he only felt goosebumps falling to the ground.
Zhu Xiaohua pushed her away and said, "Don't, you better roll the mud honestly with them, if you don't fulfill your promise, I won't fulfill my promise, and they won't get the money." It's not negotiable. ”
After Zhu Xiaohua finished speaking, he found more mutilated banknotes from his bag, lit them one by one, watched them burn, turn into ashes little by little, and finally raised his hand and threw them into the air.
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li looked at Wan Xiaoli left and right, for fear that she would run away.
Uncle Li said: "Xiaoli, I rolled it just now, why not roll it again, you see that Uncle's money is about to arrive." You just grieve again. ”
Aunt Zhang also chimed in: "Yes, the first time it's all over, and the second time is nothing." As soon as the eyes are closed, as soon as they are opened, they are finished with gritted teeth. ”
After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she took the lead in attaching herself, and several other people also lay on the ground and made mud rolling movements.
Jia Liang took Zhu Xiaohua's seagull camera in his hand and said in admiration: "How can you miss such a rare scene?" ”
He quickly adjusted the camera, headed towards the courtyard, and filmed this scene with a "click".
Zhu Xiaohua saw Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li lying in the mud with old, weak, sick and disabled bodies, and the whole person looked very old, he couldn't bear it, and urgently called out to the two of them.
"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li, you two get up."
Zhu Xiaohua helped them up, first took out the brand-new twenty-six yuan, handed it to Aunt Zhang, and said, "This is the twenty-six yuan borrowed from you." The two six cents you snatched from me just now will be given to you as interest. ”
Aunt Zhang burst into tears and said, "After waiting for so long, I finally got my money." Xiaohua, you are a trustworthy person. ”
Zhu Xiaohua took out twenty-one yuan from his satchel and handed it to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, this is twenty yuan borrowed from you, and one dollar is counted as interest for these two months." ”
Uncle Li took the money and counted it, a full twelve and one yuan.
He also said a little excitedly: "Twenty yuan, I finally got it." ”
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li returned the IOU to Zhu Xiaohua and said, "Now the debts between the Zhu family and us are settled." ”
Zhu Xiaohua took the IOU, struck a match, put it with the broken banknotes, and lit it again.
When the other people saw Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li get up and get the money, they all stood up with them, thinking, Zhu Xiaohua was joking with us, he didn't really want us to roll the mud.
The neighbors, Second Uncle Wang and Uncle Qian, also came over with IOUs held high and said, "I'll just say, Xiaohua, this kid, how can you let us roll the mud." ”
He patted Zhu Xiaohua on the shoulder and said, "Come, uncle's eighteen yuan, give it first." ”
Zhu Xiaohua smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to stop him: "If I remember correctly, who said just now that if I, Zhu Xiaohua, can come up with money today, their whole family will eat and call my father?" ”
Second Uncle Wang's smile froze on his face, and when he slapped the hand on Zhu Xiaohua's shoulder, he suddenly stopped.
Zhu Xiaohua shook off his hand: "I promised to let Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li go, but I didn't promise to let you go." When did you two get up, and if you don't keep your promise, I won't give money! ”
Zhu Xiaohua's words were categorical.
The happy expressions of these two people just now were instantly more ugly than crying.
Uncle Qian was furious, waved his fist and said, "Zhu Xiaohua, don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" ”
Jia Liang rushed over in an instant and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing, you want to beat someone." ”
Zhu Xiaohua leaned against the motorcycle without changing his face, continued to light the cigarette on his mouth, and said, "You let the words out, how can you get the money if you don't honor it." Even if you beat me, you still won't get the money today. ”
"Although I, Zhu Xiaohua, promised to repay the money, I didn't promise to pay you back today!"
These few words are impeccable.
Uncle Qian and Second Uncle Wang were stunned on the spot, they looked at Zhu Xiaohua and Jia Liang, who were strong in front of them, if they really wanted to fight, they might not be the opponents of these young men.
