Xu Yue stood at the door and did not move aside. She looked at the unfamiliar men and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"
The leader took out his cigarette and threw it on the ground. "Xu Guang lives here."
Xu Yue was used to girls who came to collect debts. In the past few years, it was the most annoying at the end of the year. There would always be groups of debtors coming to collect debts. Xu Yue, who had been through all kinds of debt collection methods, was a little scared, but she did not panic. She said calmly, "You've got the wrong person."
Then, she was about to close the door.
"Yes, this is the address on your ID card." The leader pushed the door open and said in a foreign accent.
Xu Yue was a little girl, so she was definitely not as strong as an adult man. Moreover, she looked like a burly man.
The group of people rushed into the house. The leader smiled. "Xu Guang, it's time to pay back the money."
In the house, everyone's heart sank.
The uncle, who was sitting with his legs crossed, suddenly froze. He quickly got up and smiled like a grandson. He bowed slightly. "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, how can you pay back the money?" The leader sat down casually.
"Didn't we agree to celebrate the New Year together?" The uncle looked embarrassed. "Can you be merciful and let me celebrate the New Year?"
"What money? Who do you owe money to again? Didn't you pay back the loan sharks?" Grandma's expression was indescribable. She grabbed her son's hand. "You owe money again?"
The uncle looked bitter. "Mom, I lost money in the stock market this year."
"How much do you owe?"
"Not much."
"I'm asking you how much you owe!" Grandma yelled, her eyes red.
"Three million!" The leader stretched out three fingers and said slowly, "The interest has accumulated. It's now 3.5 million."
Three million …
Even though she knew what kind of person her son was, and even though he had paid back more debts than that, three million was enough to crush a family that went from rich to poor.
"You bastard, I should have strangled you to death. Why don't you die outside? Don't come back and implicate our children." Grandma hit the uncle hard.
"Mom, this is not a gamble. This is called an investment. An investment!" The uncle defended himself.
The old man's mouth moved, and it took him a long time to hold back his laughter.
You will invest?
Excuse me, the finance professor, for laughing.
"Brother Liu, how long has it been? There's no need for you to come all the way here. I'll definitely pay you back after the New Year. We've already agreed on it, "Uncle said in a low voice.
"I know what kind of person you are. If this drags on, you really won't be able to pay it back. As lenders, we have to leave some leeway for others." Brother Liu laughed and said: "This house is not bad, but the location is not good. After all, it is in Shanghai. It can be sold for 4 to 5 million."
His uncle's expression changed.
"Bah!" Grandma said, "Don't even think about it. We won't sell the house."
"Then return the money." Brother Liu muttered, "Damn old woman, who are you trying to be unreasonable with?"
"Watch your mouth." Qin Ma frowned.
His aunt said angrily, "We don't have money, and we won't sell the house."
Brother Liu scoffed. "The one who borrows money is the boss. This trick won't work here."
His aunt's aura weakened. "You still want to beat people up?"
"Nonsense, we won't do anything illegal. Your house is not bad. We will stay here. It's tiring to run around outside during the New Year. We can even eat good food." Brother Liu clicked his tongue and said: "You don't say, it's really good. Brothers, go to the kitchen and serve the dishes. "
The specialty of lenders, Mystery — Chewing Gum Technique!
If they don't return the money, they will stay here.
Brother Liu said: "Brother, let me teach you a trick. It's best to borrow money during the New Year. We will stay here with you. When our relatives and friends come to visit, we will borrow money from them. It's okay if we don't have money. Let's think of a solution together, right? "
As he spoke, Brother Liu pulled up his sleeves and revealed a hideous tattoo.
Everyone's face turned pale.
Grandma said: "Let me tell you, loan sharks are not protected by the law. Be careful, we will call the police."
Brother Liu was not afraid at all. "Come, come, come. Pass the phone to her. Let her call the police."
One of the underlings threw the phone on the table. "Call the police. Whoever is afraid is a coward."
The group of people laughed.
Brother Liu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Loan sharks are not protected by the law. Are legal terms and conditions protected? What if the police come? Is the law not allowed to collect debts? Besides, we didn't beat anyone up, right? "
The underlings: "We are professionals."
"Just call them. We gave you the phone."
"Hahaha."
"Mom, I really didn't want to gamble this time. I wanted to make a lot of money to show my filial piety to you. Who knew …" Uncle frowned.
He planned to run away after the New Year. He had promised the loan sharks that he would come back after the New Year. Who knew that they would not play by the rules?
The old master glanced at his brother-in-law. He remembered that he had said the same thing back then. When the creditors came, he swore to his family and relatives that he would never gamble and work obediently. Again and again. Now, even his relatives were avoiding him. He was at his wit's end and had no choice but to beg him for help. He almost knelt down and sold a house to help him pay off his debt.
His father-in-law used to be a manager in a state-owned enterprise. He was rich and powerful. In the 1990s, the problems accumulated by state-owned enterprises broke down one after another. The employees were laid off. His father-in-law originally had a place to go. The state arranged for him to be a small leader in a government office. However, he resigned and started a business. When he retired, his family had four houses in Shanghai and more than two million in savings. Tsk, tsk. At that time, they were much richer than the Qin family.
Later, he handed the business to his son. Three years later, the small company went bankrupt. Xu Guang was ambitious but incompetent. He was unwilling to give up and always wanted to make a comeback.
Then, his investment failed. He went to gamble and lost everything. After more than ten years, he still could not make a comeback.
He sold the house, lost all his savings, and was still in debt.
Life was full of despair!
In the kitchen, Qin Bao Bao stood by the door and eavesdropped.
"He's going to sell the house." His sister walked back and whispered, "It's time for us to perform."
"That loan lender is trash," Qin Ze muttered. "I can't believe he didn't do anything. Give him a good beating. Beat him to death." "Uncle, this guy, if he doesn't taste the despair of the abyss, he won't learn his lesson.
His sister glanced at him. "That's why you keep pretending. Just now, you said that your uncle can't be too cruel."
"Also, what if we hurt Mom, Dad, and Grandma?"
"You don't know Dad. If we fight, Dad will be the first to protect Mom and Grandma. Then, he will watch the show happily. The loan sharks are not lunatics. They won't beat people up."
Qin Bao Bao did not speak for a long time. "They're evil maggots."
The family stopped talking. The atmosphere was tense.
Brother Liu stared at his younger brother. "What are you waiting for? Go and get the food. Aren't you hungry?"
The younger brother understood. Unless it was a last resort, it was not good to beat people up. However, disgusting things should not be said with words. It should be done with actions.
Don't think that we loan sharks are paper tigers. The younger brother thought of a very powerful sentence. "Don't say that I didn't warn you!"
The younger brother looked around and walked to the kitchen.
