Lao Ye is an old acquaintance, and before Xiao Zhengping fell from Erlang Bridge, he had just come out of Lao Ye's house.

"Lao Ye, why are you here?" Seeing Lao Ye, Xiao Zhengping had a bad feeling.

Lao Ye is the most mixed person in the camphor Shuya brigade, he has been in prison, criticized, married and has a pair of children, his favorite thing to do on weekdays is to drink, the second is to play cards, and the third is to beat his wife.

When Xiao Zhengping was a street wanderer, the place where he often fooled around with Mrs. Yan and Zhang Gouzi was Lao Ye's home.

"Pingzi, I've heard that you've made a lot of money lately, but I don't see you going to my house to play, what do you mean?"

"Heh, you also said that I made money, and it takes time to make money, where is the time to go to your place."

"Then the money you owe me~~ And these people's money, what's the matter, just forget it?"

Xiao Zheng said calmly that sure enough, these people are here to ask for money.

"Lao Ye, you can't talk nonsense, if you forget it, why am I still playing with my life to make money?"

"Then you're making money now, and it's time to pay it back, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the people behind Lao Ye squeezed up.

"yes, Pingzi, it's time to pay it back."

"Pingzi, you make money on your own, and you have to take care of our big guys."

"That's it, you eat and drink spicy food all day long, let's drink the northwest wind."

A bunch of people, you say a word to me, and you can't say a word of Xiao Zhengping.

After waiting for everyone's emotions to calm down a little, Xiao Zhengping pressed his hand at everyone, "Old Ye, big guy, don't be angry, listen to me." ”

After a pause, seeing that the crowd was quiet, Xiao Zhengping continued: "I will definitely pay back the money, not only repay, but also interest." But I don't have that much money at the moment, so you can give me some time, and I promise to pay back all your money before I finish selling the cigarettes, okay? ”

These people have all seen Xiao Zhengping's scoundrel, and it was precisely because Xiao Zhengping was a scoundrel that they had to lend him money, so naturally no one believed Xiao Zhengping.

"No, since you can repay Li Lang's money, you should also pay back our money."

"Pingzi, it's not that everyone doesn't believe you, you earn dozens of dollars every day these days, how can you have no money to pay it back!"

"That's right, didn't you pay back all the money from your eldest and second uncle's family? Why are you dragging us back! ”

"Pay back!"

"Pay back!"

......

The mood of the crowd rose again, and one by one, as if protesting, they raised their hands and shouted.

And Lao Ye stood aside, clasping his hands, watching this scene as if watching a play.

Lao Ye's age is not much different from Xiao Zhengping's father, his daughter has already married, and his son and wife run the home that is about to be broken. The reason why Lao Ye is mixed is because he is ruthless, and in addition, Lao Ye's brain is also very active.

In addition to a few street runners of the camphor Shuya brigade, the street runners of the two brigades in Erlang Bridge are familiar with the old leaves, he often beckons these people to eat and drink at his own house, and after eating and drinking, he will set up a card game, and someone will give a little venue fee if he wins, and someone can also borrow money from him if he loses, that is, he will bring some interest when he returns.

In this way, although Lao Ye never worked in the field, his life was very moist.

Looking at Lao Ye's gloating expression, Xiao Zhengping thought to himself that it was probably not a coincidence that such creditors suddenly gathered to ask for money.

However, whether it is Lao Ye's ghost or not, after all, he is in debt, and now he has indeed made money, and I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress it if he does not pay it back.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhengping said loudly: "Okay! Good! I pay back the money, you are quiet first. ”

As soon as he heard that Xiao Zhengping was going to repay the money, the crowd immediately quieted down.

Xiao Zhengping took the opportunity to point at Lao Ye and said: "Listen to me, the reason why my money is not enough is mainly because it is not enough to repay his money, if he can slow down, I can still take out your money." ”

Everyone present knew Lao Ye's character, and they were all picked up by Lao Ye, so someone immediately turned around and pleaded with Lao Ye.

"Lao Ye, just take it easy, ours is all waiting for the money to eat."

"Lao Ye, who doesn't know you, you have never been short of money in your hands, so let Pingzi return ours first!"

"Oh, Lao Yecai doesn't care about this little money, he can still borrow money from others, where will there be a shortage of this little money!"

Seeing that everyone's guns were suddenly aimed at him, Lao Ye's face suddenly darkened.

At this time, Xiao Zhengping's voice came over again, "Lao Ye, you slow me down for a while, before the tobacco leaves are sold out, I promise to return it to you with interest." It's not easy for the big guys, you let me pay them back first! ”

The anger was uneasy, Lao Ye didn't expect Xiao Zhengping to turn the situation around in a few words, and in addition to being surprised, he could only nod helplessly, "Okay, my money can be slowed down, but everyone's money, including interest, you can't lose a penny." ”

Xiao Zhengping was a little embarrassed, he was not like Xiuye, he never kept accounts, and when he borrowed money before, he didn't know if he had saved enough money.

But the words have come to this point, and Xiao Zhengping has no way out, "Okay, everyone wait a minute, I'll take the money." ”

After saying that, Xiao Zhengping turned around and went back to the house, and took out all the money hidden in Xiuye's desk.

Back at the door of the house, Xiao Zhengping held the money and smiled at everyone: "Come one by one, don't worry." ”

It was about an hour before the last person to take the money left satisfied. Looking at the remaining more than 20 yuan in his hand, Xiao Zhengping breathed a long sigh of relief - fortunately, the money is enough!

Putting the money back in his pocket, Xiao Zhengping stood up and walked slowly towards Lao Ye.

"I said Lao Ye, what do you mean, you want to demolish my house with someone?"

"Pingzi, don't get me wrong, I didn't find them."

"Okay, you're not stupid, I'm not stupid, so coincidentally, so many people come to my house at night to ask for money, do you believe it?"

"Even if I found it, what else can you do if you owe it to pay the debt?" Lao Ye couldn't hide it, and his tone hardened.

"Okay, it's only natural to pay off debts, I won't say anything. Lao Ye, today I will make it clear to you, the tobacco leaves are still sold out in two months, before the tobacco leaves are sold out, I promise to give your money with both hands, and you can calculate the interest during this period. But after the money is returned, you don't come to me, you don't know me as a person. ”

Lao Ye snorted coldly after hearing this, "What's the matter, you really want to change your evil ways and return to righteousness, Pingzi, it's not that I look down on you, it's easy for dogs to eat, it's a little difficult for you not to go to my house." ”

"Okay, you can think whatever you like, anyway, I'll just say this, it's not too early, I have to get up early tomorrow to work, if you have nothing to do, go back."

After that, Xiao Zhengping walked back to the house without looking back, and then latched the door with his hand.

After calming down, Xiao Zhengping couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, originally he still had more than three hundred yuan, but after just an hour, there were only more than twenty left.

However, this is not the main reason for his bitterness, after receiving the fungus today, the news will definitely spread quickly, and it may not only be the Zhangshuya Brigade at that time, but also the two brigades in Erlang Bridge may have someone to deliver the fungus.

Originally, the more than 300 yuan could still be used as capital, but now that the money is gone, what should he use to collect the fungus tomorrow?!
