Chapter VII Usury

"Hmm."

Lin Chao stood in place and nodded.

"No home?" Zhang Beizhan asked again.

"Yes, ran away from home."

“……!” When Zhang Beizhan heard this, he was instantly speechless and said, "Okay, what are you doing running away from home?" ”

"I didn't say it, I didn't want to go to school, my dad had to force me to go, I had a fight with him and ran away from home." Lin Chao touched his nose and said.

"Hehe, fuck, you're all like this now, and you haven't even gone home yet? Prepare to starve to death outside. Zhang Beizhan said with a smile.

When Lin Chao heard this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and frowned and replied: "Let's go." ”

After speaking, Lin Chao turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Zhang Beizhan shouted, and then continued: "For the sake of you helping me today, you can go and stay with me for one night, the house I just rented today!" ”

When Lin Chao heard this, he was immediately a little moved, but he still said quite fakely: "Is it really convenient?" If it's inconvenient, even if it's ......! ”

"Don't be so fake, okay? To go or not to go? Zhang Beizhan directly interrupted Lin Chao's words and rolled his eyes and said.

"Okay, go!" Lin Chao immediately nodded without restraint.

"Let's go!" Zhang Beizhan waved his hand and said.

"That's it!" Lin Chao bared his teeth and ran over with his luggage.

"Huh!" Zhang Beizhan grinned.

……

Ten minutes later.

The two of them turned around to the gate of the courtyard, and Lin Chao opened his mouth and said: "Fuck, this place is really full of people, if you don't come here a few times, you can get lost in this alley!" ”

"No way, it's cheaper around here!" Zhang Beizhan replied casually, took the key, and opened the door.

"Stomp!"

Then the two walked into the courtyard, there are four rooms in the courtyard, and there are currently two rooms with Zhang Beizhan, and there are two empty rooms that are not rented out.

"Bang dang!"

Zhang Beizhan led Lin Chao to the door of the room on the right, took the key, opened the door, and then walked in, opened his mouth and said: "Put the luggage under the table, if you take a bath, you have to wash it in the shed outside, there is no water heater, you can only take cold water, if you are afraid of the cold, you can take a hot one and boil the water quickly, and take it to the shed to wash!" ”

"Okay, got it." Lin Chao nodded and put his luggage under the table.

"Well, I'll wash first." Zhang Beizhan said a word, quickly took off his clothes and pants, and then carried the bucket and walked towards the shed.

"Okay." Lin Chao nodded, took out a cigarette case, lit a cigarette, sat on the stool, turned on his mobile phone, and looked at the text messages his parents sent him.

"Little cub, hurry up and give me death and go home, don't let me catch it, otherwise, my calves will be broken!"

"Little cub, it's been a few days, and you haven't come back yet? Are you going to take off? I'm telling you, if you don't come back today, don't give me back again! ”

"Lin Chao, let me ask you, are you okay? What's the matter, you're going to break the record this time? Raising you is really for nothing, not obedient at all! ”

Lin Chao swept the three text messages, frowned, and edited a text message: "Lao Tzu won't go back!" ”

After sending it, I blocked the phone number directly.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock at the door of the courtyard, and after Lin Chao heard the sound, he opened the door and was about to open it.

"Smack!"

At this moment, the lights of the house on the left went out instantly, and a girl who looked almost fifteen or sixteen years old, fair-skinned, sweet-looking, a bit like Hong Kong star Zhou Huimin, wearing slippers, quickly ran to Lin Chao's side, took his arm and said, "Don't turn it on, don't turn it on!" ”

Lin Chao was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl and said, "Why?" ”

"They came to my house to collect the bills, don't open it, you will pretend that you didn't hear, please!" The girl pulled Lin Chao's arm, lowered her voice, and said with an urgent expression.

"Oh!" When Lin Chao heard that it was a debt collector, it was none of his business, so he suddenly stopped, nodded and said, "Okay, then don't open it!" ”

"Thank you!" The girl nodded gratefully.

"Hmm!" Lin Chao answered, turned his head and was about to walk towards the house.

"Whoa!"

At this moment, Zhang Beizhan, who had quickly taken a shower, opened the curtain of the shed, and said bare-chested: "Someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard, didn't you hear it?" Go for it! ”

"If you want to pay the account, your neighbor told me not to open it!" Lin Chao pointed at the girl and opened his mouth to say a word.

"Huh!"

Zhang Beizhan was stunned when he heard this, immediately turned his head, glanced at the girl, and said lightly: "Okay, then don't open it!" ”

"Thank you!" The girl nodded gratefully again.

"You should also take a shower, go to bed early, don't bother me, I have to find a job tomorrow." Zhang Beizhan looked at Lin Chao again and said a word, and handed the bucket over.

"Good Ratcha!" Lin Chao nodded, took the bucket and was about to walk towards the shed.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the knocking on the door became louder and louder, and a young man at the gate of the courtyard opened his mouth and scolded indecently: "Fuck your mother, Zhang Keyi, open the door for me, I know you are inside, if you don't open it, Lao Tzu will tear you apart!" ”

"Shhhh The girl said nervously.

When Zhang Beizhan heard these words, he frowned, looked at the girl and said, "The people outside are usury?" ”

"Uh-huh!" The girl nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Then how could you borrow money from someone like them?" Zhang Beizhan continued to ask puzzled.

"Half a year ago, my grandmother was sick and wanted to make up a sum of money for surgery, at that time a friend of mine took me to meet them, saying that they can also take out loans for minors here, and the interest is low, so I believed it and borrowed 30,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that my friend deceived me and wanted to deduct some sewing money in the middle, because she introduced people to take loans, and these people would give her money, in fact, they are loan sharks......!" The girl explained.

"How much did you pay back?" Lin Chao then asked.

"I have already paid off the principal, but they are now making a profit, and now they want me to pay back 30,000 more, I can't afford it, I really can't afford it!" The girl whispered with a crying face.

“……!” Zhang Beizhan and Lin Chao were quite speechless when they heard this, and then Zhang Beizhan continued: "Then why didn't you call the police? ”

"What's the use of calling the police? They have IOUs in their hands, and they won't be able to hold them for long if they are caught, not to mention, they still have my ...... in their hands! When the girl said this, she suddenly stopped, then quickly changed the topic, and instantly said in a somewhat incoherent voice: "Oh...... No, there are still their people in the police station! ”

After Zhang Beizhan and Lin Chao listened, they glanced at each other, then nodded, and neither spoke.

"Fuck you, don't open it, do you? Here, get me a big rock and smash the lock for me! The young man outside the door shouted again, ready to forcibly break down the door.
