Chapter 24: The Debt Collector Comes
Thinking that Li Qingyang was pretending to be all fierce to herself, Shen Rou became less afraid in her heart, raised her head for the first time and looked at Li Qingyang seriously, and after a while, the tips of her ears became red, lowered her head again, and whispered.
"I see, don't be fierce......"
"Then you're going to listen to me in the future, okay?"
"Hmm......" Shen Rou hummed softly, her voice was light and small, like a thin spring breeze, moisturizing things silently into Li Qingyang's ears, very comfortable.
Li Qingyang heard the change in the girl's voice, although she was not so confident, she was no longer nervous and afraid. This made him very happy, looked at Shen Rou, and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you home." ”
Shen Rou didn't hesitate any longer, biting her lip and sitting on the back seat of Li Qingyang's bicycle, her heartbeat a little faster.
After estimating that the girl sat firmly, Li Qingyang turned his head and asked, "Have you sat down?" ”
"Alright."
"And where is your home?"
"Erhe Village, go straight along this road, and you will arrive at the first village when you meet it."
Li Qingyang nodded and said softly: "Okay, remember to hold on to my clothes, don't let go, you know?" ”
Shen Rou hesitated for a moment, carefully grabbed Li Qingyang's coat with her hand, the tips of her ears were red and red, and whispered, "I'm holding on." ”
"Then we're going." Li Qingyang smiled, his right foot was slightly forced, and the bicycle shook lightly a few times, and then ran forward steadily.
Li Qingyang rode very slowly, only half the usual speed, and because of Shen Rou, she was still carrying a basket on her back. And she's very timid, so she can't ride the bike too fast, or it will scare her.
What's more, if you slow down, you can stay with Shen Rou for a while, although if Shen Rou doesn't ask, she won't take the initiative to speak, maybe it's good to stay with her.
Feeling Li Qingyang's deliberate slowing down of the bicycle speed, Shen Rou's heart was warm, her eyes looked at Li Qingyang's back with some boldness, and the tips of her ears began to turn red again.
He's really nice, and when he's not fierce, he's so gentle when he's talking. It's still bad to pretend to be angry and scare people, but it seems to be for my good.
But if only he could not get angry all the time......
The bicycle was running forward slowly, and it was still a little far from Shen Rou's home from the county seat, and it would be a little boring if she didn't speak. Therefore, Li Qingyang still couldn't help but take the lead in opening his mouth, but his voice was still very gentle.
"Why don't you speak?"
"What do you want to say......" Shen Rou asked in a low voice.
Li Qingyang wanted to laugh a little in his heart, for this simple girl, in addition to work, it seemed to be a difficult thing to take the initiative to speak. After all, she is always busy making money, and she doesn't have any friends, so it's understandable that she doesn't know how to get along with her friends.
With a sigh, Li Qingyang took the initiative to speak again: "Let's say today's weather." ”
"It's a sunny day."
The girl replied quickly, and her voice was soft and weak, but Li Qingyang was a little congested, although there was nothing wrong with the answer, but she almost succeeded in ending the topic. He smiled helplessly and continued.
"yes, sunny day. So what do you plan to do when you go home in the afternoon with such good weather? ”
"Go to the vegetable field and pick vegetables, and sell them tomorrow."
The girl's voice was flat, without much emotional fluctuations, and it seemed that the things she said had nothing to do with her.
However, this answer made Li Qingyang a little embarrassed and distressed, and asked in a low voice: "In addition to picking vegetables and making money, do you usually do anything?" ”
Shen Rou lowered her head and thought for a moment, and after a while, she whispered, "Wash clothes and cook." ”
Well, this topic has been successfully ended, no matter how good Li Qingyang's eloquence is, but when he encounters the topic terminator of Shen Rou, he is helpless.
But fortunately, Li Qingyang had already sent the girl outside the village and stopped the bicycle, and he did not send the girl directly to his home, after all, for the girl, they had only known each other for four days now. If you send her home directly, you will get her in trouble.
After strapping the cardboard box on the bicycle, Li Qingyang turned his head to look at Shen Rou and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, I will wait for you here." ”
"Okay." Shen Rou lowered her head and said.
The girl was still so weak when she spoke, it made people want to bully her, and Li Qingyang did so, taking advantage of the girl's lack of attention, he reached out and quickly pulled her hand, and then smiled.
"Remember, I'm bullying you again, I'm a bad person. So you must listen to me, you must not refuse me, and you must not avoid me, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. ”
After speaking, Li Qingyang got on his bicycle and left quickly, leaving Shen Rou blushing cheeks, biting her lip lightly, and standing in place.
This person is really good and bad, and he bullies himself again. But it's so happy, he's just scaring me, and he's not fierce, it's good.
stood in place for a long time, until Li Qingyang's figure disappeared, Shen Rou turned around and ran home happily. But as soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Rou heard a noise from the house.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame us, as the saying goes, the husband and wife repay the debt, and you have to be a man with credibility, your man owes us the money to our boss, he ran away, you should always pay it back."
Zhang Xiaotao's face was pale, her eyes were full of red, her hands were clenched tightly, and she said, "We have no money, you have taken all the valuable things at home, what do you want." ”
The thug smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I want to do something, but I don't have enough money." Don't embarrass us, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been returned, just 10,000 yuan. Our boss said that as long as you pay off the 10,000 yuan, the debt will be paid off. ”
Zhang Xiaotao's tears flowed down her eyes, and she said sadly: "You also said the same thing last time, why can't you give us a way to live......"
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that, you had to pay the principal last time, and the interest was not given to us. As long as you pay off the interest this time, I will definitely not look for you again. I also brought the IOU! The thug laughed.
Zhang Xiaotao's tears rolled down her eyes and cried: "If you have a thousand yuan, you will be charged 10,000 yuan in interest, is there still a royal law?!" ”
"Sister-in-law, this is the rule of our gambling house, if you want to blame your man, who told him to run away. If he doesn't run, we'll look for him, not you. ”
"It's like, we don't want to come. There is only 10,000 yuan left, and there is still something to get together. ”
Zhang Xiaotao cried and said: "How can we have 10,000 yuan, and all the things in the house have been moved by you......"
When the little gangster heard this, his face immediately showed a little fierce: "Sister-in-law, don't toast and don't eat and drink." You've already lost a leg and don't want your daughter to be like you, right? ”
Zhang Xiaotao trembled when she heard this, and tears kept falling.
At this time, Shen Rou also hurriedly carried the back basket, pushed open the door and rushed in, watching her mother fall to the ground, a group of thugs with iron rods around her, feeling that her breathing was about to stop, and her heart was like a knife.
Shen Rou's eyes turned red suddenly, and tears couldn't stop falling: "Don't hit my mother." ”
