Chapter 25 Changes
The dwarf winter melon nodded and suddenly said, "I understand. Brother Wei has vision. I'm really convinced. At that time, when Brother Wei lent money to his family, I couldn't figure it out. Why did he lend it to him when he saw that he couldn't pay back the money? Now, I finally understand."
The horse-faced man seemed to be very different from the short winter melon. Seeing the short winter melon, he suddenly realized and sneered and said, "Do you understand?! Bah! You know nothing! Do you think our boss is just thinking about this? You're wrong. Although his family has no money to pay back, he has land. Not to mention the ancestral homestead, the vegetable land of more than three mu behind the ancestral house alone is worth a lot of money! You think we are the best. Bugs on the brain, what kind of person really will have what kind of thoughts!"
When the short winter melon heard the words, it was so angry that it was about to fight back, but it saw the scar man put down his chopsticks and randomly wiped the yellow grease flowing from the corners of his mouth with his wide sleeves. He said vaguely, "Stop it, are you two endless? Humph!"
The dwarf winter melon stared at the horse-faced man fiercely, gritted its teeth and did not dare to squeak. His face was purple and red, like a pig liver that had been smelling for a long time.
The scar man picked up the teacup in front of him and drank a large mouthful of tea. The tea in his mouth rummed. The long scar on his right cheek was like a living centipede, which couldn't help squirming, looking extremely disgusting!
After the tea sounded in his mouth for a while, the scar man was unambiguous, and his throat knot moved, "goo!" With a sound, he swallowed the tea fiercely!
Ale! It's amazing!! How could this person rinse his mouth with tea like this?!
Seeing this, Xu Han suddenly got goose bumps and his stomach turned upside down. Fortunately, he had not eaten at this time, otherwise he would definitely spit it all out. Although Xu Han used to be a subordinate, he could not be vulgar to such a shocking state as his. Perhaps this Brother Wei is the expert among the ruffians! Xu Han thought about it and couldn't help sighing.
After swallowing the tea, the scarred man smashed his mouth a few times, as if he was still evoking.
After a moment, he stood up and said, "Old Ma still has eyesight. Yes, this is the main reason why I dare to lend money to his family. All right, we are full of wine and food. Let's go! Everyone works hard. Let's go back to Tianxiang Building to relax!"
A group of people suddenly stood up, followed the scar man, and ran down the stairs. After a moment, the second floor regained calm.
At this moment, the little boy brought up Xu Han's breakfast.
He stayed in the treasure room for three years. During these three years, Xu Han diligently studied hard and raised his realm from a real person to the realm of three real people. Life expectancy increased to 400 years, strength increased to 3,000 pounds, and weight loss to 50 pounds.
A level of improvement in a year!
This progress made Xu Han very gratified.
For a person who does not have the guidance of a famous teacher and relies on his own exploration, this progress is already shocking. Moreover, he only spent one-third of his time improving his cultivation, and his greatest energy was mainly on Stealing.
After breakfast, Xu Han went downstairs, walked out of the fragrant restaurant, and walked along the long street to the west of the town.
Now, he began to do the first thing, which is the first of a series of events he planned before leaving the sinkhole. For him, this is undoubtedly the most important part of a series of events!
The sun poked out half of its head from the distant mountains, dispelled the morning fog in the town, and sprinkled the golden sun on the earth, shining everywhere, which was particularly charming. Xu Han walked west with the sun on his back, and his shadow was projected on the street, dragging it long. The warm sun sprinkled on his back, and his whole body was warm and unspeakably comfortable.
Living under the ground for three years and being in the sun for the first time, Xu Han suddenly felt like a different world.
Shiniu Town is not big. After a while, Xu Han came to the west of the town.
The west of the town is the poorest area of Shiniu Town, known as the slum of Shiniu Town. Although the people living in the west of the town also have their own ancestral houses and the land to live on, the land area is not large, and the grain grown is not enough to support their families. Therefore, most families send their children to the eight nearby families to work and earn meager rewards to support their families.
Jiao Hu's family lives in Zhenxi, and Xu Han is now going to his house as a stranger.
Xu Han will never forget that day three years ago. On that day, he suffered the greatest grievance in his life. When people all over the world ignored him, a man secretly got food from the kitchen to feed him. That day, he drank the best green vegetables, fish head and tofu soup in the world! I also ate the best rice and tender chicken in the world.
However, because he choked, the man was deducted three months' monthly money and transferred to the back mountain farm. Every day, he picked the pig manure from the farm to the vegetable garden three miles away to fertilize it. He was also beaten with more than 20 sticks, so that his trousers made of coarse linen burst open, revealing his bloody buttocks.
Every time he recalls the scenes of the day, Xu Han always sheds tears silently.
For three years, this unforgettable feeling has not faded with the passage of time, but has become stronger and stronger.
The west of the town is still dilapidated and barren as far as the eye can see. The dilapidated wooden houses are tilted, as if a strong wind will blow away the roof, and the weeds in the corner of the house are as high.
Turned into a remote alley, jumped over two stinky ditches, and scared away a big yellow dog full of pus. Xu Han finally saw the dilapidated yard of Jiaohu's house from afar.
However, he was stunned.
Many people gathered around the yard and looked into the courtyard. Some people climbed to the broken wall and stood condescendingly to watch the bustle. Some people even climbed to the locust trees outside the courtyard. The originally dilapidated and deserted small yard seemed very lively at this time. There were bursts of noise, mixed with crying.
What happened?
Xu Han's heart sank, accelerated his pace, and soon came to the flat ground outside the courtyard. Just as he was about to squeeze into the crowd and go to the yard to see what was going on, he suddenly stopped.
With a slight meditation, Xu Han turned his head and asked an aunt who was looking inside with her toes: "Aun aunt, what's going on inside?"
The aunt didn't look back and said angrily, "Can't you read it yourself?"
Xu Han suffocated, smiled bitterly, and his eyes swept around. Suddenly, he saw a white-haired old man sitting on a stuccove with a tight face and sulking.
When Xu Han was about to walk over to ask, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming out of the yard: "It's natural for you to pay back the money. If you don't pay it back today. Hey, then don't blame the brothers for being rude. Little Joe, just come with us. In addition, your house, fields, etc. can be used to pay off the debt. This debt has not only been paid off, but also we will still be in-laws in the future. How about, old man, what do you think of my proposal?
is the sound of short winter melon!
It's that group!
Xu Han's whole body was shocked. Just now, when he was eating in the Piaoxiang Restaurant, the conversation of the group of people flashed in his mind, and he instantly understood what was going on.
Xu Han was so angry that he was about to rush in and beat the group of people to solve the urgent needs of the Jiao family, but suddenly remembered the sentence in the "Stealing" in the "Stealing": "Robbery is better than burglary. This is a problem of power and intelligence. Everything should first consider whether it can be intelligent, and then choose the power when there is no hope of wisdom. Wisdom is the use of tricks; power is the use of violence. Intelligent withdrawal saves effort and avoids many subsequent troubles. It is laborious and causes a lot of unnecessary trouble.
How to get smart?
Xu Han pondered for a moment, turned his eyes, and came to his mind!
So, he asked an uncle beside him, "Uncle, why did the Jiao family borrow money from these wicked people?"
The uncle's face darkened and withdrew his eyes. He was about to scold him, but he saw Xu Han's appearance as a rich man, which seemed to be the son of some big family. Everyone knows that this kind of person is the most troublesome if he accidentally offends him. Hey, I'm afraid it won't end any better than the Jiao family.
So, the uncle immediately smiled and replied respectfully, "This prince doesn't know anything. Last year, Jiao's mother was seriously ill and had no money to treat her, and our neighbors were also poor and careless. How could we have any money to lend him? There was nothing the Jiao family had to borrow usury. Well, that Weixiong is the famous usury boss in Shiniu Town. This man created his own gang called the Weilong Gang. There are dozens of brothers under him. Their backing is the Lin family, which is not easy to mess with. In the past, he only sent some subordinates to collect debts, but today, he came out in person. It seems that the Jiao family is ruined this time.
This uncle knows everything, speaks everything, and his language expression ability is also quite excellent. After this, he also explained the context of the whole matter clearly.
Xu Han nodded and asked, "How much money did the Jiao family borrow from those people? How much do you want to pay back now?
The uncle sighed and replied, "In fact, they only borrowed 50 silver coins, which were borrowed last year. Up to now, according to what they said, the profits have rolled to 50 gold coins!" Fifty gold coins, even if they are placed in a large family, it is still a huge amount of money. How can the Jiao family afford it?
Xu Han nodded again. He knows these amounts very well. Three years ago, he worked hard in the kitchen of Zhoujiazhuang for a month, and his income was only ten copper coins, and his total income in a year was only one silver coin and 20 copper coins. Jiao Hu's income is the same as his. In this situation of tightening their belts, it is impossible to take out 50 silver coins at once, but the disease can't be delayed. No wonder they borrowed usury.
However, the principal of 50 silver coins has now become 20 gold coins with interest! Turn gold coins into silver coins, which is a total of 2,000 silver coins! This money, even if it is placed in a slightly richer family, is really a huge sum of money!
This usury is too cruel! In just over a year, even the capital and profits have increased 40 times!
